The Globe thl afternoon publish a letter from a Ilelgian gentleman who has been traveling to Peking via the Transsiberlan Railroad. He describes under date of Sept. 6 what he raw in the Amur river. His account surpasses in horror those previously published. "The scenes I have witnessed in the three days slnca the steamer left Blagovctchensk," he says, "are horrible beyond the jKjwers of description. It Is the closing tableau of a fearful human tragedy. Two thousand were deliberately drowned at Morxo. 2.0 at Rabe, and S.Ouo around Rlagovetchensk, a total of 12.000 corpses encumbering the river, among which were thousands of women and children. Navigation was all but impossible Last week a loat had to plow her way through a tangled and mangled mass of corpses lashed together by their long hair. The banks were literally covered with corpses. In the curves of the streams were dark, putrid, smelling masses of human llesh and bone, surging and swaying in the steamer's wake and wash. The captain vainly ordered full speed ahead. The fight and smell will be ever with us. "From RIagovetchen?k to Aigun, fortyfive kilometers, numerous villages studded the bank, with a thriving, industrious population of over 10O.WO. That of Algun was 2.UU0. None will ever know the number of those who perished by shot, sword and tream. Not a village is left. The silence of death was around us. The smoking ruins of Atgun on the right, with broken down, crumbling walls and shattered, roofless houses." Ilrltaln to Control the Railway. TIEN-TSIN, via Shanghai, Nov. 13.

Another Punitive Raid. PEKING. Nov. 11, via Shanghai, Nov. 13.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) with his right and left, McGovern blocking every blow. McGovern turned loose with a hard left on the stomach. Broad countering with a riht on the shoulder. Broad led twice with his left and McGovern blocked both blows. McGovern rushed and Broad was as willing to meet him as he was to come and met with hot exchanges. McGovern put two hard lefts to the nose, following It with three more in the same place without a return. Broad was backing away at the close of the round and was growing weaker. Round 5 McGovern sent a right to the body. Broad coming back with a left on the neck. McGovern Jarred Broad with a left on the head. Broad was backing around the ring, very tired, McGovern following him and landing right and left with great regularity. Broad made a hard stand in McGovern's corner and landed a right on the jaw, swung his left to the same place and then sent Iiis right to the jaw again. McGovern was wild at these three blows and rushed savagely at Broad, landing a right on the jaw and sending him backward. Then he sent a left to the neck and upper-cut him with a right below the heart. Broad backed away continually, going around and around, with McGovern following closely. Broad put a light left to the face as the bell rang. Round 6 McGovern came out this time to finish his man if possible, and if the round had lasted thirty seconds more he would have done so. He landed a right on the Jaw, following It with a left to the nose, which brought blood in a stream, then sent a right to Broad's eye which again brought the blood, bringing another copious flow. He followed Broad around the ring, landing rights, and each time staggering his man. A risrht to the mouth split Broad's lips and swelled them tremendously. Unable to stand the blows McGovern sent in. Broad sank to his knees and remained down for the count, spitting blood In a stream. McGovern was at him the minute he arose and tried hard for a knock-out. Broad held on with all his strength in the attempt to stay the limit, but without power to fight back. He was clearly gone, had no strength left and pre sented a horrible sight as he staggered backward with McGovern following close up. Broad was hardly able to see because of the blood that poured into his eyes, and found It hard to breathe because of the blood that filled his mouth and nose. He was one red smear from his forehead to his waist, and McGovern was little better, all the blood, however, coming from Broad. The bell rang with Broad hanging on for dear life and in a half-conscious condition. The men were in the center of the ring when the end came, and as McGovern turned to go to his corner Broad put both hands on his shoulders, and, placing his bloody face close to McGovern's, gave him a hearty kiss. Referee Slier awarded the decision to McGovern. After the fight James J. Corbett entered the ring and read the following challenge: "I, James J. Corbett, have this day placed In the hands of Lou M. Houseman the sum of $1.000 (one thousand) as an earnest of either one of two following propositions: "First I will box James J. Jeffries six rounds before the Tattersall Athletic Club and will agree to give him 73 per cent, of the purse, win or lose. "Second If Mr. Jeffries does not think that six rounds is a fair test, I will box him twenty or twenty-five rounds, or to a finish, before any club In the country offering the best inducements, winner take all." The challenge was received with loud cheers and calls for a speech. Corbett said In reply to the calls: "I will box Mr. Jeffries here any time he likes and give him 75 per cent., win or lose.

COLD WAVE PREDICTED

ALAIOIING REPORTS SKXT OUT PROM TUG CHICAGO BURKAU. Temperature Wax to Fall Twenty I)egreei ly Morning According to "Weather Observer Cox. The following was received from Weather Observer Cox. of Chicago, at the local weather bureau yesterday afternoon: "Cold wave; temperature will fall twenty degrees by morning." That was all. It was enough. The announcement spread over the city and everybody began to think of the gas and incidentally cast about for choice pine boxes and coal. The present condition of the gas seemed to cause an unusual credence to be placed in the report. Men drew their heads down under their overcoat collars until their noses were only visible as they hurried about the streets, and women nestled in their feathers and furs and tried not to shiver. The report was the first cause for apprehension that has emanated from the weather bureau this season, and it was received like all new things for all it was worth. Those who have learned to put faith in weather predictions gave special heed. Old saws that had been hanging in out-of-the-way places were taken down, the rust was rubbed off with bacon rinds and the blades oiled. Crude handles were hastily fashioned for the handleless hatchet, and the sound of hewing and rasp of the saw soon reverberated from the rafters of empty barns. Available boards were split into kindling wood and corded away for morning. Where coal bins had not been replenished the Moors were scraped for what had been left, and bits of everything that would make a fire were gathered for the emergency. No questions were asked about the gas. and the little blue blazes in the grates were contemplated by the family circle with occasional comment. Without dark flakes of snow and sharp glassy rain drops began falling. Faster they flew until there was quite a flurry. This was considered ample confirmation of what the weather man had predicted, and the unanimous opinion was that the cold wave was about to strike. As was the case on previous dates when the first cold wave was announced, the streets were almost deserted early in the evening. Pedestrians hurried by closely wrapped. All outward signs indicated a cold wave. The change in weather is but a touch of what has been experienced in the lake region. On Lake Superior the thermometer has stood four degrees below zero. It was predicted that Chicago would have zero weather last night and Indianapolis would not be a great way off. By 9 o'clock there had been a perceptible change, and the wind was cutting. Advices from the Washington bureau sent out last night indicate that the residents of Indiana along the Ohio river will be shivering this evening, as the cold wave, after chilling Indianapolis, passed on toward the South.
