SHAN-SI GOVERNOR INVOLVED INVITED 3IISSIOXARIES IXTO IIIS YAMi; AND KILLED THEM. Demanded Reward from Peking Oth er Parties Slaughtered on the Road Many Workers Mlssluff. Correspondence of the Associated Tress. TIEN-TSIN, Sept. 5, via San Francisco, Oct. 3. A circumstantial narrative of the massacres in Shan-Si province ha3 reached here through a native Chrisitan teacher who escaped, and after a remarkable jourr:ey through the country by foot and boat has just arrived. This man is a grad uate of the North China College, speaking English fluently, - and absolute confidence is placed In his statements by the American missionary officials here. His story confirms- previously reported murders, and adds details xf shocking cruelties. It cov ers a period from early June, when the trouble began, down to the latest known outrage, which, as previously reported In the Associated Press dispatches, occurred Aug. 15 at Yen-Chou-Fu, about fifty miles southwest of Tas-Su-An, when Mr. and Mrs. Atwater and their two little children. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Price and their son. all of the American board, Mr. and Mrs. Iugreu, of the Swedish mission, and Miss Eld red. an English lady, were butchered. The refugee's story of the murders directly implicates Hu Hsien, the Governor of Shan-Si. who has previously been charged with Instigating and abetting tho killing of foreigners. It Is said that a few days alter the rescue of the legationcrs at Peking a prominent member of the Tsung LI Yamen appeared at the British legation and formally accused Hu Hsien of inviting all the foreigners in Tai-Yuen into his yamen, under pretense of escort ing them in safety to the coast, and having them put to death. The names of the victims at Yen-Chou-Fu were given by the few who escaped. According to the refugee, none of the missionaries at that station had been molested up to Aug. 13. One old prefect of the district died short ly before that elate, and the Governor of Shan-Si sent a new man, who, two days after his arrival, demanded of the local officials why the foreigners had not been expelled. The district magistrate, who wa3 friendly to the missionaries, replied that there was no occasion for their ex pulsion, but under compulsion arrested the chief dispenser of the hospital. The man was given three hundred blows, and the demand was made that he should secure the arms in the possession of the mis sion. There were, accordingly, given up two pistols and two riiles. The demand was repeated that they must hasten their oeparture. NO DELAY ALLOWED. A request was made, on behalf of Mrs, Atwater, who was about to be confined, that they be allowed a few days of respite. but the prefect insisted that they were to be sent away to the coast and must be ready the next day. Four country carts were prepared for them and their goods duly packed. They were to start on Aug. 15. A guard of twenty soldiers was made ready. As soon as the arrangements were made the foreign houses were sealed up The missionaries requested that they be permitted to sell their houses, to secure silver for the journey. The official replied that all the property had been confiscated by imperial decree and could not be sold, but that a small property in a country village could be sold. This was accord ingly done, and a small sum of silver se cured- The escaped teacher rode a horse given5 him by Mr. Atwater. The soldiers compelled him to dismount and ride on the cart. He overheard remarks by the sol dlers, and from these gathered that mischief was meant, and on the advice of one of the soldiers escaped from the party some few miles from the village of Ksi-Shi. The party was supposed to be sent to Fing-Yao. about thirty miles from Fu Chow. When not far away, on his line of escape, he heard the firing of a gun. He afterwards learned that this was the signa for the attack upon the party. Ihey were escorted by the soldiers a few miles far ther. where they were met by another de tachment and all were attacked and killed with swords. The officials here have no doubt of the accuracy of the report, as It is said to have been confirmed by close questioning and further upheld by a message from Mr. Pierce. This was written on a bit of linen which the refugee brought with him and fcurrendercd to an officer at the gate of the walled city when he arrived. Going back early in June this man gives a graphic and apparently reliable account of all the murders in the Shan-Si province Much of It is too horrible for publicity Men, women and children were butchered their bodies mutilated and In many in stances their heads placed on the gates of the villages. So far as known, the first murders occurred June 28, when two women, members of the China inland mis sion, were killed at Hsl-TI-IIsI-Fu. They v.erc Miss Whltechureh and Miss Seweil who live-d alone at the mission, a remote place. On the day mentioned about 3X Boxers forced an entrance into the mission compound and some of the village men smashed the gate. The local magistrate was sent for, nut it is said he reproved the messenger for disturbing him. The mob took this as an Indication that they were not to be Interfered with and force an entrance into the house. The two women made vain appeals for mercy, but were beaten to death with clubs and heavy glass kettles, it is said that one of them survived the assault about an hour. Their clothing was stripped oft and their valuables stolen. When the local magistrate was informed of the murders he sent two Ikjxcs in which the bodies were placed in the baptistry. The details of this outrage were learned from a messenger sent from the American board mission at Yen-Chou-Fu. THE SECOND OUTRAGE. The next outrage took place at ShowYang, about seventy-live miles from Tai-Yuen-Fu, which was a mission station of the Independent workers, on June 29. The story of this massacre. If true, leaves little doubt of the guilt of the local Chinese authorities, and also of the .governor of the province. In all, thirty-three persons were slain. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. T. W. riggott and their son; Mr. Robertson, a tutor; Miss Duval, a teacher, and two daughters of the Rev. M. Atwater, of Yen-Chou-Fu. were driven from their homes, and for several days hid in the mountains. Finally they determined to return to the mission. They were arrested, and sent to Tal-Yuen. They were chained and handcuffed, and iron collars were placed around their necks, and during the terrible march they suffered terribly. They were not permitted to purchase food, and during the entire march were pactically without anything to eat. On arriving at Tai-Yuen they were placed In separate rooms and suffered many Indignities. In the meantime, most of the foreign houses in Tai-Yuen were burned, foreigners taking refuge In the home of a Mr. Farthing, f the English Baptist mission. One woman. Miss Coombs, the principal of a girls' school, however, failed to escape and fell a victim to the mob. Hampered by the efforts to protect her scholars, she was separated from the others and caught by the rioters, who were looting the burning building. In spite of her pleadings she was fcelzed and thrown into the flames. The missionaries remained until July 7 In the house of Mr. Farthing, when a com

plete list of all foreigners was demanded by the governor. He then ordered them to come to his yamen. assuring them they

would be protected and escorted saieiy to the coast. The order was compiled with. and the entire party of foreigners was admitted between files of soldiers through the outer gate to the court. Once safely in the walls of the yamen the ranks of sol diers were opened and about forty Boxers admitted. They fell upon the unarmed missionaries with swords, and a horriDie butchery ensued. The bodies of the unfor tunate men and "women were hacked to pieces, their heads cut off and placed in baskets, which were susrended over the four gates of the city. Forty native Christians were also slain, and the following day the Catholic priests, all said to have been Frenchmen, were beheaded. In addition to the Plggott party from Shou-Yang, the following perished at TalYuen: Mr. Stokes and wife: Mr. Simpson and wife; Mr. Beynan, wife and three chil dren; Mr. Farthing, wife and three children; Dr. Leavitt, wife and one child: Dr. Miller Wilson and wire; Mr. Whitenouse and wife. The list is very incomplete, but it is certain that In all thirty-three white persons were slain. According to reports current, the governor at Shan-Si sent a dispatch to the Peking government report ing the massacre and demanding a reward. OTHERS ARE MISSING. Thirty-five miles from Tal-Yuen Is the English Baptist mission of Hsln-Chou, on the great road. There were at Hsln-Chou six persons, and their fate is unknown. They are Mr. and Mrs. Dixon. Mr. and Mrs. McCurran and an unmarried man and woman. At the outbreak of the trouble it Is reported the entire party fled to the mountains, escaping safely from the village. Since then no word has been heard of them, and their fate is conjectured. Owlnf: to the friendliness of the local oificlal at Tal-Ku. which is about twenty miles from Tal-Yuen, the American board mission there escaped the first attacks upon foreigners. About July 31, a band of 300 Boxers sweDt down upon the place and attacked the mission premises. One of the native missionary assistants was killed, and the Boxers, smashing the gates of the compound, effected an entrance. There were six persons in ine mission, r. Davis. C. D. Williams, u. n. ciapp ana wife. Miss Rowena Ford and Miss Susan Partrldee. The three men took positions on the roof of the mission building and made a gallant defense until their sparse amunitlon was exhausted. The Boxers rushed them and they were cut down, fight ing to the last with clubs and guns. The three women then fled to the rear court, where they were discovered and slain, as was also a native woman teacher. The bodies were thrown Into the flames of the burning mission building after having been beheaded. The heads were taken to TaiYuen and placed in the baskets on the gates, and it is said the hearts of the men were cut out and carried to Peking. One hundred native Christians were killed at the same time, sixty-five of them being converts of the Roman Catholic mission. These people had no means of resistance, and were simply slaughtered. Among the missionaries whose fate Is unknown up to the present are Mr. and Mrs. Ogden. of the Swedish mission at Yung-Ning-Chou, fifty miles southwest of Tien-Chou-Fu. They escaped with their child in a boat, but have not been heard of since. An Indiana Woman Killed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART, Ind., Oct. 3.

The talk about the individual operators objecting to the offer made to the men by the companies Is not taken seriously by the trade here. The representatives of the Delaware and Hudson, Lackawanna, Lehigh Valley, Lehigh and Wilkesbarre companies say If the htrlkers consent to go back to work at the terms offered the individual operators will not stand in the way. In fact, it would do them no good to stand In tha way. They would have to pay the mlnera the same wages as the big companies or pllow their mines to remain in idleness.

This they are not trilling to do. as was judged from the actions of certain oper

ators the past week. They nave oen grumbling a great deal because the big companies do not do something and get the men back to work. And u me representatives of the biir companies are to be telicved. the individual operator Is not the eppressed man he would have the public believe he Is. He gets his share oi ine sales, and in a great many cases his operating expenses are a great deal less than the big companies. The ouestion of manning the mines. thould work be resumed at an early day. 1 3 now becoming a serious question. lelore the strike was begun experienced miners were scarce, and for the want of e-ompetent men many "breasts" in th mines which the operators worked had to remain Idle. Since the strike began hundreds of the best miners have left the country for Wales. The places or these men cannot be filled at once. The leaders of the United Mine Workers in Luzerne county are Jubilant over the frucces. of the big demonstration yesterday. The auditing committee met this afternoon and passed upon the expense account of the parade. Each striker was assessed one cent, and Mils was more than ample to pay all expenses. XO SETTLEMEXT IX VIEW.. Scranton I'nlon Rejects Advance and Will Avrait Mitchell's Orders. SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 3. None of the in surgent operators have come over to the side of the three companies offering the 10 per cent, increase, and of all that are standing out the Delaware & Hudson Is the only one that says It may come into the agreement. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western expects that the offer will have the effect of bringing around enough men to-morrow to start a few of its collieries. The Cayuga, in North Scranton, was counted upon as the one most likely to have a goodly response to its gong. To-night local union No. J8, of the United Mine Workers, which embraces the Cayuga employes, met in St. Mary's Hall and adopted a resolu tion declaring the members would pay no heed to the 10 per cent, offer, and that no further action would be taken until advices were received' from President Mitchell. If no Lackawanna men return to work to-morrow, and the miners' officers say not a man will respond to the gongs, it will mean much in this community, as it will indicate very strongly what the miners think of the offer. The sentiment here is strongly In favor of demanding the recognition of the union as a condition precedent to any negotia tions for settlement. Should this sentiment prevail the strike will be of long duration, it is expected, as the operators positively assert that under no conditions will the union be recognized.

It Is Uniformly Commendatory of the Emperor's Letter. BERLIN. Oct. 3. The newspapers here unanimously applaud Emperor William's "championship of the combined Interests of civilization and Christianity," as contained in his reply to the message from the Emperor of China. At the same time, the commentators find in his Majesty's telegram a new bridge upon which the Chinese authorities may approach the demands of the allied powers. The reply, generally. Is regarded as conciliatory. The National Zeitung thinks it affords "an indisputable basis for sober, effective, common action on the part of the allies." Such differences of opinion as are noticeable in the press regarding the Kaiser's telegram are e-onfined to minor points. The Kreuz Zeitung considers the most important feature of the reply to be Emperor William's invitation to the Chinese Emperor to return to Peking, and says: "If this invitation is accepted it will greatly facilitate peace negotiations. In any event, there 1 no. question that the Kaiser has gone a long way to Emperor Kwang Su." The Berliner Post takes the same view. Several Journals emphasize the fact that Germany's moderate policy is again so clearly outlined that, henceforth, it will be Impossible to Impute to her extravagant plans. Some of the moderate liberal papers regret to see Christianity placed in the foreground. The Rhine Westphallan Zeltunj, formerly a Blsmarcklan organ, con-
