, Miss Croucher commenced her ro-
marks by referring to the mission con-
ference in session at l’ckiu, when it
was rumored that the Boxers bad pinn-
ncd a general massacre of mission-
aries and foreigners. The date had
been not for a curtain Friday. which
was a Chinese feast day. but tho plans
of the Boxers were upset by the or ‘iv-
ul of .i detachment of marines. ,cn
sures were at once Inkcn to get all
Christians to a place of safety, ant
hurried [drills were made for depart--
ore to 'i‘leu 'l‘sin. Upon arriving at
the depot it was found there was a
rcpott that the Boxers had torn up the
railroad. and the only locomotive on
the road had been \scnt out in charge
of an Inspector. to verify the report.
While the party was planning some
means to get out of l’ckiu tho loco
motive returned. but tho route was so
dangerous that tho engineer refused to
make the run between Pokin and Then
Tsin. nud itrelnaineli for a plucky fire-
man to volunteer to make the trip.
The men in the party were heavily
armed and remained at the windows of
the compartnigpt‘occupilui by the we
men, while 'tliiiY’Wer'e huddled under
the seats out- of range of prospective
bullets. The Boxers appeared in force
at severel stations but the armed men
made such a‘ display of force that no
attempt at attack was made, though
the train had barely passed over a
bridge when it was burned and all
communicatiom by rail with Pekln was
cut off. . "
. When the refugees reached 'l‘len
Tein the danger was by no means
averted. as the city was thronged with
refugees from the country who had
fled into the city to escape the Boxer
outrages. ,
The speaker then referred to the
message from Minister Conger to Tien

threatened the foreigners ut l’olun.

To those who visited the fleet in the

strangely with the brilliant pageant

an air of genuine stillness. which the
calm of the beautiful morning failed
.to dispel. Though the sun shone
brightly over-tho headinnds. a grey
mist hung over the sea. Here and
