*' TUNIC JN PEKING
MANCHUS FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES
AND ARE ESCAPING.
APPEAL MADE TO FOREIGNERS
Officials are Seeking Asylums for
Their Wives snd Families in
Interest of Safety.
Peking.—The situation in Peking is
becoming woir-e. A veritable panic
prevails among the Manchus and the
Manchu women are adopting Chinese
dress. Some of them are attempting
to make their feet appear small by
peculiarly constructed shoes. The
trains that are leaving the capital
for the most part are drawn by two
engines, so heavily are they loaded,
the people sitting on top of their
househould belongings. Officials are
seeking asylum for their wives and
children among the foreigners.
Prior to the revolution the newspa
pers frequently cried out against the
presence of foreign soldiers but the
natives are now fleeing to them for
shelter. One report fixes Monday
night for the outbreak, hut me
presence of 15,000 Manchu troops,
against 3,000 Chinese, ensures the
safety of the capital for the present.
The only danger seems to be from
a sudden attack against the throne
or against the officials, which might j
precipitate the threatened massacre !
by the Manchus. Race feeling is be- j
coming intensified. The price of pro-!
visions is stHl rising and many for-\
signers are entering the legation I
quarter. The legation guards are
preparing for emergencies. The
Americans have sand bags piled on
the corner wall, which Is now under

ments of the Manchu troops through :
the city gates occur silently after j
night to prevent excitement among :
the population.
Rumors are current ^hat the em
peror has been spirited away and that j
Prince Chlng, who is too old for flight. I
has committed suicide. There are
many such stories. They may or may
not be true. The American legation j
has Issued orders, that the women
and children living along the Peking- ■
Hankow railway and also in the cour.- j
try is the west of the line shall pro
ceed as soon as possible to the coast.

to the editorials. When she got that
far she could read almost anything,
much to her father's disgust.
Miss Shaw spent four years in col
lege and another four in the theolog
ical and medical schools of Boston
university. Her people were deeply
opposed to the whole plan and told
her they could do nothing whatever
to heip her. During that eight years
she had only $31 that she did not
earn.
She lived in an attic without any
fire—in a Boston winter. She studied
in bed to keep warm, her breatf^mak
ing frosty clouds upon the air. She
had not food enough to satisfy bugger.
She had not clothes enough to "keep
warm. Her stockings showed through
holes in her shoes. She supported
hei self throughout the entire course
by preaching and lecturing. But so
many places did not pa^ her anything
that she could average only $3.50 a
week.
Cue day she was sitting on the
stairs. She bad sat down because she
fcit too weak to get to the top. A
woman whom she knew slightly came
along and asked her why she was sit*
ting on the stairs. When she found
out she went away and borrowed $91
from another woman and gave it to
Miss Shaw with the proviso that she
was never to know from whom it
came. That was the onl? help she
had through her course. She repaid
the money after she was graduated
and never knew who lent it
But about this time she acquired
the warm friendship of Mrs. Persia
Addy, a widow. During the final year
of her course Mrs. Addy took her into
her home, and though the student paid
the same board she had been paying,
she had for it the comforts of a good
home and the 'devoted care of Mrs.
Addy. Mrs. Addy had planned to go
to Europe and take Miss Shaw with
her as soon as the latter should have
finished her course. She died just be;
fore commencement, but in her will
left Miss Shaw $1,500 for the specified
purpose of taking a European trip.
When she was planning this journey
Mrs. Addy’B father said to her:
"Now, you will spend that money
and it will be gone forever. Instead
or cash, let me give you two bonds
worth $1,500 Then I will keep the
bonds for security and lend you $1,500
on them. When you get to work you
can repay me as convenient, and
when it is all paid the bonds will be
yours again.”
She did this, and having acquired a
certain sentiment about the matter,
has done the same ever since. Sbq
has left the bonds on deposit and let
the Interest accumulate, and they
have paid the actual traveling ex
penses of her three trips to Europe.
Miss Shsw took the m'edicai course
because during her theological course
she did missionary work in Boston.
She found, to use her own words, that
she "bad nothing the people wanted.”
They did not want either her theology
or her gospel. They wanted heip in
their material lives. She took the med
ical course in order that she might
give them free medical treatment.
It was as a missionary doctor and
preacher in the slums of Boston that
Miss Shaw became convinced that
there were certain defects in an all
male government which called for po
litical power In the hands of women.
She bad always believed In woman
suffrage. Now she decided to work
for It. She began to speak for the
Massachusetts Suffrage association
and from that grew her national
work.
