unconsciously foreshadows tho doom that

there. It Is, In part, as follows:
I'tShiN, .May .to.-Dear Folks: Wo dis

sent them to their homes, not thinking It
safo to keep such n body of large girls hero.
I think we will be spared nny harm. Wo

ago Sunday. They were sent by the north
yamen unreqticsUd by us. 1 suppose they
aro very little good. I doubt If there is n

ammunition, Helng modest young womdn,
It would bo unbecoming in us to look
nround und nsk questions. No attack has
boon mndo Insldo tho city yet, nnd we hopo
thero will bo none. To be sure there nre
Iloxcrs practicing here, but It will bo very
(luring for them to do anything nt tho capi
tal, and It seems to us It would mean the
overturning of the government.
Tho noxors In practicing bump their
heads three times on the ground In n cer
tain direction nnd repent some form of
words nnd full back In n state of trance,
where thoy lie for ii little while then get
up and beat themselves furiously with
their hands or Chinese swords and say
they nro some particular spirit. They claim
thoy nro invulnerable. One of the leaders
who was making such a claim was asked
by n man If ho would glvo permission tor
him to try n sword nrross his neck. Tho
Hoxer said, "Certainly," whereupon the
sword wns uppllcd with considerable, force
and the head rolled to the ground. Tho
fnther of the Doxer stnndtng by was nsked
for nn explanation. He suld his son was
not suhiclently tinder the spirit, thnt he
himself could not bo hnrrned, Tho man
replied that ono dend tnnn was enough ror

another.
