Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY CHINESE SLAY FRAIL WOMEN American Missionaries Are Subjected to Revolting Treatment. NAMES OF VICTIMS KEPT SECRET English and American Residents of Shanghai Demand That City of Pekin Be Destroyed. Copyright Associated Press dispatches announcing that the American government refuses to agree to the withdrawal of the troops from Pekin before satisfaction for the outrages upon and the losses of its subjects is given have been received in Shanghai and are applauded by the entire foreign colony in Shanghai. Any other policy, according to the business men and missionaries with whom the Associated Press representative has talked will be a fatal blow to the prestige of the foreigners and would weaken their status in China. The local English papers fiercely denounce the proposals to evacuate Pekin and say that the Chinese interpret evacuation as defeat. The masses of Chinamen now believe that the Chinese arms are victorious. The Chinese papers printed in Shanghai contain long, circumstantial accounts of alleged Chinese victories at Tien Tsin and Lung Chao Sj and the shops and native quarter display for sale lurid photographs of the celestial army driving the European soldiers into the sea at Taku and tearing them to pieces at Tien Tsin. They also show pictures of the foreign admirals being tortured in the presence of the viceroys. Vice Admiral Seymour is represented, with his arms pinioned kneeling before the throne. The people accept these reports and pictures as correctly representing the facts and anything contrary was merely foreign life. The European community continues to demand the destruction of Pekin and the exemplary punishment of the officials, and deeming indemnity and paper promises of new treaties inadequate. Undoubtedly the massacre of foreigners recently received inflames this sentiment. The dowser empress is living in the Yamen at Tai Yunu Fu, in Shau Si province. Fifty missionaries have been slaughtered in that yamen under orders, practically in the presence of the viceroy. Three were beheaded in the inner court and others were killed barbarously in the yards. The bodies were thrown to the dogs. The Associated Press representatives learn from official sources the fact of the killing of several American women missionaries. At the request of the mission board the details were withheld out of regard for the feelings of the relatives of the murdered women; but her prominent Americans who have long antagonized the policy of sending women to isolated inland posts, think it important that the facts should be known. The names of the victims are withheld by request. Two of these women were captured while attempting to leave the stations where they were located, were led about the country naked, repeatedly outraged and finally killed by a method too revolting to be described. Two other American women were coming to the coast with a party which a number of Chinamen followed and stoned. The women fell exhausted and were taken by the Chinamen into the presence of the local officials. They were prostrated upon the execution block and a feint was made of her being beheaded. One of them became hysterical and laughed, and, thinking her insane, the Chinese escorted their to the coast because of their superstition regarding the insane. On the journey, however, the woman was repeatedly criminally assaulted by her escort. The other woman being exhibited naked for some days suffering assault by several men and was tortured to death by the rama shameful methods as were practiced in other cases. Two Swedish missionary women arrived at Shanghai after similar experiences, except that their lives were spared. The fourteen English missionaries, including six women and four children who were murdered at Chu Chau, in the province of Chu Kiang, according to the story of the Spanish priest who escaped, were killed with hay forks and ancient spears by the magistrate's body guard, and their naked bodies were hanged from trees. The incidents make a lenient policy unpopular in Shanghai where all the victims had friends. Placards posted in public places exhorting foreigners to oppose a compromise with the government. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 8. 1900. RAPIST DIES LEGALLY Sam Robinson Pays Penalty of His Crime at Marietta, Ga. Large Crowd Was On Hand But No Disorder Occurred—Prisoner Confessed His Crime on the Gallows. Sam Robinson paid the penalty of his crime on the gallows at Marietta, Ga., Saturday in plain view of about fifteen hundred people. The country people began gathering in town early in the day and by 10 o'clock some two thousand were in town. The streets were crowded, but not a sign of violence was manifested. It was a quiet and orderly crowd of people, all anxious to see the hanging. The train from Atlanta stopped at Confederate cemetery crossing and the prisoner was taken off there. Sixty armed guards met the train and escorted the prisoner and party to the place of execution. The sheriffs and prisoner arrived without incident, Robinson smoking a cigar as they rode from the train, a distance of about a half mile, to the gallows. He seemed in fairly good spirits and conversed with those about him. On arriving at the gallows a great crowd of people was found there waiting. The gallows was inclosed by a board fence sixteen feet high, and only guards, officers, newspaper men and two colored preachers—Revs. G. A. Parish and D. B. Bond—were allowed inside, except a fev who had orders from Judge Gober. Mr. and Mrs. Inzer were on the grounds and had an order to allow them to see the hanging, but they did not go inside the inclosure, but remained on the hill some distance away. At 10:30 o'clock the door was closed to all outside except those mentioned. Rev. Parish read a passage of scripture and talked very sympathetically and earnestly with Robinson, taking him by the hand and asking him if he realized how soon he was to meet his God, and if he was prepared to meet death, to which he replied he was. Rev. D. B. Bond then offered a very fervent and earnest prayer, closing by saying the jury did right in convicting him and the judge in sentencing him. Robinson was then asked if he wished to say anything and he said he did, but before he rose to make his statement the crowd pushed down one side of the inclosure, exposing the whole thing to view, so that the great crowd who had gathered on that side could see everything that transpired. Robinson faced the crowd and walked steadily to the end of the gallows and made his statement, speaking in a loud, clear voice. He said: "Let me tell you all, friends, my colored friends and white, never commit the crime that I have. If I had not committed it, this time I might some other. Teach your children never to commit this crime. I am guilty. I committed the crime and don't dey it. I am going before my God and that is all I have to say." He then stood where he had made his statement and the black cap was placed over his head and rope around his neck. The trigger was pulled at 10:44 o'clock. The drop was five feet broke Robinson's neck. He shrugged his shoulders afew times and all was soon over. Robinson's father, Derry Robinson, from Anderson, S. C., then came forwarded and asked if he might have the body. He was told that he could. The old man took the corpse's head in his arms and wept. He said Sam was twenty-four years old and was married, leaving a wife and two children. Sam left home, he said, in May without telling where he was going, as he had often done before. The old man did not have money enough to pay the express to Anderson, but a contribution was made up for him that enabled him to leave Saturday evening with his boy. The crowd that witnessed the hanging was orderly throughout and everything was done in a decent manner. After the wall was torn down, so they could see, the crowd made no attempt to come nearer the gallows and was easily kept back by the guards at a safe distance. VOTE BUYERS KNOCKED OUT. Jury Commissioners of Lee County, Ga., Take Summary Action. There has been considerable comment in Lee county, Ga., upon the recent action of the board of jury commissioners, by which many names, among whom are the names of many prominent citizens of the county, are stricken from the list of qualified jurors of the county. The commissioners are very reticent regarding their action, but the fact has become known that the principal reasons for such summary action was that these parties, or a majority of them, had engaged in the nefarious practice of buying and selling votes. Unity of Allies Will Be Decided By Russo-American Proposal. London Papers Raise a Howl While Germany Seems Not at All Pleased. A London special of Friday says: In the absence of further news from China the papers are again filled with discussions of the Russo-American proposals which, so far as may be gathered from the representations of opinions in the various European capitals, are calculated to subject the unity of allies to an exceedingly severe and dangerous test. In Germany especially, these proposals are no diametrically opposed to Emperor William's policy that they have produced something like consternation. As the London Daily News editorially remarks, "Count von Waldserse was assuredly not sent to assist in restoring the empress dowager." It is recognized on all sides that Germany's decision is the prov of the matter. Emperor William intended by dispatching Count von Waldserse to;have the master hand in the Chinese settlement. Russia has taken the wind out of that officer's sails, and is now posing as the friend and protector of China. The morning papers express the greatest suspicion of the intention of Russia. The London Times' editorial fairly represents the opinion of all, saving: "The advantages of Russia's policy are not manifest, and it is very doubtful whether it will recommend itself to powers like England and Germany that have large commercial interests in the establishment of a stable and progressive government to replace the reactionary clique which has impeded all progress and development in China in recent years. "Negotiation with Li Hung Chang would be a condemnation of government crimes and the throwing away of all the advantages gained by the occupation of Pekin. "Much misobief may already have been done by the hesitation to enter the forbidden city. To withdraw from Pekin would be interpreted as proving not only that the allies are cowards, but that they are hopelessly divided. It may be that some of the powers will withdraw, but that does not imply that others are bound to leave Pekin and to acquiesce in the restoration of a government guilty of a gross international crime." "Diplomacy sometimes makes strange bedfellows. It is curious to find the mighty autocracy of the old world and the great republic of the new world gently coaxing the other powers along the paths of pace. Nothing could be better than the spirit of these documents, and it is interesting to find two such powers anxious to determine the controversy in an unselfish spirit." , "The Daily Mail says: "Russia has forced the hand of the United States against the better judgment of the latter. At the same time the United States government has induced such valid reasons why Russia's policy is a bad one that it will hardly be expected that other powers will con- The Daily Chronicle thinks the "open door" will prove the rift in the loot which now sounds such harmony between the United States and Russia. The Daily Telegraph remarks: "The Russian proposals are among the most extraordinary coups attempted of recent years, even by Russia. The upshot will probably be the acceptance of Li Hung Chang to negotiate some kind of a compromise with the empress dowager." Vienna specials show that the Russo-American proposals have caused extreme annoyance there. "Germany's attitude toward the Chinese crisis," says a dispatch to The Times from Tokio, dated August 29, is causing much perplexity in Japan. The Chinese authorities at Amoy having guaranteed the security of life and property, the Japanese marines will now withdraw." Will Bring His Daughter Home. President H. B. Ledyard, of the Michigan Centralrailroad, hasreceived a cablegram from his daughter, the widow of Baron von Ketteler, the German ambassador to China, who was murdered in 'Pekin, asking him to come for her. Mr. Ledyard will start for Yokohama September 12th.' The Southern railroad has given $1,000 to the building fund of the Young Men's Christian Association of Macon, Ga. The generous gift was made at the request of Third Vice President Gannon of the Southern. SAW UNIONS MARCH Bryan and Roosevelt at Labor Day Celebration In Chicago. Democratic Nominee Addresses Great Throng In the Afternoon Following the Republican Candidate. Organized labor of Chicago passed in review before Colonel William J. Bryan and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Monday. Hour after hour the labor unions marched down Michigan avenue past the Auditorium hotel, on the loggia of which stood the Democratic nominee for president and the Republican vice presidential candidate, together with Charles A. Towne, Senator W. E. Mason and a dozen other political leaders. Both Bryan and Roosevelt were heartily greeted by the men as they marched by the hotel. When the last man of the long line of marchers had awoken around Michigan avenue into Jackson boulevard, Colonel Bryan and Colonel Roosevelt went inside the hotel, where, soon after, they sat down to a luncheon giver by labor representatives. It was a "flag of truce" luncheon, for the trades union men had declared that in the celebration of Labor Day there was to be no politics. While the parade was moving a host of people, mostly the families of working men, gathered in Electric park, where the speeches of the day were delivered. The programme of speeches was as follows: From 2 to 3 p. m.—Governor Roosevelt, Charles A. Towne, Samuel Alschuler, Derricorate candidate for governor of Illinois; Richard Yates, the Republican gubernatorial nominee; William E. Mason, Mayor Rose of Milwaukee; Mayor Harrison of Chicago, R. M. Patterson and P. J. O'Donnel, to speak in the order given. At 4 p. m.—Colonel Bryan. Colonel Roosevelt left late in the afternoon and Colonel Bryan at night. The latter went to Cumberland, Md., to open the campaign in that state Tuesday. HESTER'S COTTON FIGURES. Secretary-Hester's New Orleans cotton exchange annual report was issued in full Monday. He puts the cotton crop of 1899-1900 at 9,436,416 bales, a decrease of 1,838,424 under 1898-99. Of this, he says that Texas, including Indian Territory, shows a falling off of 961,000, the group of other gulf states, consisting of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Utah and Kansas, 400,000, and the Atlantic states, consisting of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolinas, Kentucky and Virginia, 475,000. He places the average commercial value of the crop at 38.55 dollars per bale against 25.08 dollars last year, 28.62 dollars year before last and 36.76 dollars in 1896-97, and the total value of the crop $363,785,000 against $382,773,000 last year and $322,553,000 the year before. He calls attention to the fact that the money value of the crop just marketed is $81,012,000 over the 1896-99 crop, which was 1,838,000 bales. He puts the total spiades in the south at 6,207,163, and increase over last year of 1,315,071. These include 1,415,497 new, not complete. The net gain in the number of southern mills over last year has been 113, making the total now 663. OUTBREAK IN BOHOL. Filipinos Rebel On An Island In Southern Part of Archipelago. The war department Monday received the following from General MacArthur: "MANILA, September 3.—Adjutant General, Washington: General Hughes reports outbreak on Bohol. First Lieutenant Lowack, Forty-fourth volunteer infantry, reports engagement near Carmen, Bohol. Our losses in killed, one; wounded, six. Enemy's loss in killed, 120.

The Steamer St. Paul Makes Quick Run Across the Briny. The steamer St. Paul arrived at New York Friday night from Southampton and Cherbourg after a quick passage of six days seven hours and six minutes. This time is the best made by the St. Paul between New York and Cherbourg and beats the best time of each of the big fleet of ocean grey- hounds with the one exception of the present record holder, the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grossse, whose time is five days seventeen hours and thirty- seven minutes. The St. Paul now holds second place in the westward record. Subscription: $1.25 Per Annum; 750 for Six Months, 500 for Three Months; Single Copies 5n. In Advance. IS NOW FOR BRYAN Bishop H. M. Turner Is Anxious to Give Nebraskan a Trial. Other Prominent Colored Prelates Also Declare Their Intention to Follow Suit—The Bishop's Views. The Chicago Daily News in a recent issue contained the following: 'Bishop Henry M. Turner, of Atlanta, head of the African A. M. E. church, and idolized leader of the colored race since the death of Frederick Donglass, has decided to come out for Bryan. He will be attended in his conversion to Democracy, it is further announced, by Bishops Derrick and Grant of the same church. This statement was made by the Rev. J. A. Whitman, a colored minister of Atlanta, Ga., and the personal representative of Bishop Turner. Just before the departure of ex-Governor Stone, of Missouri, to the east, the bishop sent the vice chairman of the Democratic national committee a telegram saying that the Atlanta minister had full authority to speak for him. "Anti-imperialism is said to be the mainspring that has governed Bishop Turner's action in leaving the Republican party in which he has grown old. Bishops Grant and Derrick are influenced more by their resentment of the way in which they assert the administration has treated the colored troops. They also blame McKinley for what they call his "napathy" concerning lynchings in the south and his alleged failure to keep a promise they say he made them to appoint a colored man on the labor commission. The decision of Bishops Turner, Grant and Derrick partakes of the startling, coming as it does immediately after the failure of the Afro-American council in the national convention at Indianapolis to take sides with either party. It is also significant in view of the statement of Vice-Chairman Henry B. Payne, of the Republican national committee, that the ding of the colored vote between the Democrats and the Republicans this year will mean the breaking up of the solid south, which has only been hold together for the last dozen years by its antipathy to the colored voters and the additional fact that practically all colored men in the country have been Republicans. "Chairman Jones, of the Democratic national committee, is known to be a great admirer of Bishop Turner, and to have wide respect for his opinions, and Bishop Turner's friends are already asserting that the work of corraling the colored vote for the Democratic ticket will be intrusted to the hands of the Georgia bishop. Thus far in the campaign the colored Democrats have been in charge of J. Milton Turner, of St. Louis. "There are now three distinct factions of colored Democrats. One is headed by Bishop Turner. The second is led by J. Milton Turner, who has gathered around him Frederick L. McGhee, of Minneapolis; William A. Crosstwaite, of Nashville; J. A. Sweeney, William Miller and A. E. Manning of Indianapolis, and Harvey A. Thompson and A. T. Watkins, of Chicago. The third is under the leadership of George E.Taylor of Oskaloosa, Iowa, who is president of the Negro National Democratic League. The support of the national Democratic committee, it is thought, will install Bishop Turner as the chief of all the factions." Bishop Turner has modified the above statement somewhat, as regards himself, by saying that politics has no bearing upon the question whatever; that he is disgusted with McKinley and is in favor of giving Bryan a trial. He deprecates the "apathy" of the present administration toward his immigration scheme, which, as his friends well know, is nearest his heart, and feels that probably the Democrats will show more consideration for his efforts on that line. The bishop further states that he is neither Republican or Democrat, in the common acceptance of these terms, but, if anything, he is a decided Prohibitionist; that his sole interest lies in the upbuilding, advancement and welfare of his race. OTIS SUCCEEDS WHEELER. Retirement of Alabamian Will Cause Promotion of General Chaffee. A Washington special says: General Otis has been selected to fill the post of commanding officer of the department of the lakes made vacant by the retirement of General Joe Wheeler, General Chaffee will be made a brigadier general on General Wheeler's retirement. Germany Adheres to First Plan. Semi-ficially it is reaffirmed in Berlin that Germany now, as heretofore, adheres to the programme mapped out in the circular of July 8d and then approved by all the powers. NO 48. Confusing Messages Received Fram China Cause Disgust- Orders are Issued That the Practice of Omitting Date Lines Must Be Stopped Henceforth. A dispatch from Minister Conger was received by the state department Monday. It was chiefly interesting from being the first word from him since his dispatch of about August 27th, referring to the proposed parade of troops through the imperial palace in Pekin. Like that dispatch, this was dateless as to Pekin. The contents were not made public, but it was stated that it contained nothing materially changing the situation. The lack of date led to a determination to take energetic steps by which all dispatches coming to the state department from China will have the date clearly stated. Two other dispatches received Monday from China referred to the state of health of the troops, which generally is satisfactory. It cannot be learned that there has been any marked advancement of the negotiations between the powers touching the withdrawal of the international forces from Pekin. The plain indication is that the powers are acting upon the hint conveyed in the last note of the state department and are bringing all their influence to bear upon Russia to induce her to change her mind as to withdrawing her troops. For some reason the Washington authorities appear to feel a growing confidence that this effort will be successful. It is noted as a fact of great significance that the proposition is being advanced to have Prince Ching return to Pekin as the acting head of the Chinese government. The suggestion is made that the progress of this wave of reorganization while the international troops are still in Pekin, promising, as it does, to speedily provide an actual de facto Chinese government which the nations may treat without further doubt as to its strength, may solve the present problem and put the Chinese question in a fair way to final and satisfactory settlement. Much may depend upon the attitude of Russia in this matter, and the manner in which she treat this appeal from the Chinese notables may prove to be a test of the sincerity of her expressed desire to deal with the Chinese government as soon as possible. Dr. Hill, the first assistant secretary of state, returned to Washington Monday and assumed the duties of acting head of the state department, relieving Mr. Adee, who has performed these duties during the perplexing diplomatic exchanges of recent date. Soon after arriving, he went to the white house and spent a half hour with the president, going over the present status of the Chinese negotiations. GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

General MacArthur chronicles two recent daffas among his officers in the Philippines in cablegrams received at the war department Monday: The messages announced that Captain H. Bentley, Forty-seventh volunteer infantry, died on the morning of August 26th, from a wound received in action near Camagal on August 21st. The second dispatch states that Second Lieutenant Roy L. Fernald, of the Twenty-sixth volunteer infantry, was accidentally drowned in the Jalari rivers, near Pototan, Panay, on Sept. 1st. > e3 an a Tes " The Savannah Tribune, ee PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY TWE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING 0, MRoteTReRD as bxOOND-CLAnD MATTER AT TeeSavawwax Fost Oxyics.

Evznr republican voter 1s urged to foul register for the coming elec- Re | Tue democrats can get but cold comfort out of the election in Ver- mont this week, because the very, large republican majority at the last election was cut down. | Frow a recent report itecems that the consolidation of the A.

This consolidation will add much to the cause of religion and be of untold benefit to our people. | Tax Republicans of the First Con- gaconl Dietrict will meet next ednesday for the purpose of nomi- sating a candidate for Congress. It | ie necessary for a real strong man to be nominated, one who will add strength to the party and cause har- mony within its ranks, From pres- ent ontlooks auch a man will be the nominee. Tux Southern papers are gloating considerably over the recent riotous oatbreake in the North, but there is little comfort to be obtained there- from. The rioting part is to be de- plored, but the vigorous manner in -which the rioters are ‘dealt with by the courts of justice, is to be com- mended. The courta seem not to be winking at the law when it effects any prominent person in this case; all'are treated alike. Let this same vigorous feeling for the enforcement of iew and order invade the entire country, and especially this section, and riotous outbreaks will not be of auch frequent occurrence. From newspaper accounts, Bishop Larner of the A, M. E.chureh has changed into srabid democrat and will znnihilate the republicans by the number of democratic speeches that he will make during the pre- meat earmps fo We have been un- able to see the Bishop’s reason for the change, but from his love for “Jim Crow” street cars, We can ex- pect mieatly anything from him. No ‘Negro with any amount of principle or manhood can conscientiously sup- port the Democratic party. ‘That party is the author of “Jim Crow” car laws; it is the principle of the party to diefranchise the Negro, as it has already done in many states under its control ; it gives but little protection to Negro citizens, ag in North Carolina, and the recent oc- ourrences in democratic New York City. Hundreds of other acts can be cited, but the above is sufficient to keep any Negro from voting a slemocratic ticket. Te the democratic policemen of New York City had done their duty in the Inospiency of the troubles of a few weeks ago, the present bad feeling would not be existing be- tween the raceg, no not the races, but from reports, the lower elements of the whites. This element feeling that it has the quasi endérsement o| the police, who themselves have been charged with clubbing innocent Negroct, has continued the riotous feeling. ‘Such a thing could never happen in Savannah, not because the Negroes would be more ag- gressive, or lawless, but that the Rolioemen are more loyal to their jaty and would adopt every reason- able method to quell a riot ‘The officers of tke various courte where these offenders were tried are to be commended for placing the blame where it-jnstly belongs, and for scoring the police officers and citizens for interfering with inno. cent citizens. ‘The colored citizens of New York are also to be commended for im- mediately organizing ond in their endeavors to seek Neda R.

Holding these views and pur- poses, Ruseia expresses hope that the United States will share the same opinion.” . ANSWER OF UNITED STATES. To this declaration our reply has been made by the-following memoran- dam: “The government of the United States receives with much satisfaction the reiterated statement that Russia hag no designs of territorial acquisi- tion on China and that equally with the other powers now operating in China, Ruseis has sought the safety of her legation in Pekin and to help the Chinese government to repress the ex- isting troubles, The same purpose will control the government of the United States aud frank declarations of Ruesia in this regard are in azcord with those made to the United States by the other powers, All ‘the powers, therefore, having disclaimed uny purpose to acquire any part of China, and now that adherence thereto hss been renewed since relief has reached Pekin, it ought not to be Gifficult by concurrent action through negotiations to reach an amicable set- flement with Ohina by which the treaty rights of all the powers will be secured for the fature, the open door assured, the interests and property of foreign citizens conserved and full reparation made for wrongs and in- juries suffered by them, Asaresult of these coneiderations unless there ia such a general expres- sion by the powers in favor of coatin- ued occupation as to modify fhe views of Russia and lead to a general agree- ment for continued cccupation, we shall. give instractions to the com- mander of the Anierican forces in China to withdraw our troops from Pekin after due conference with other commanders as to the time and manner of withdrwal. “So far as wo are advieed the greater part of China is at peace and earnestly desires to protect the life and property of all foreigners, and in several of the provinces active and skillful efforts to suppress the Boxers have been’ taken by the viceroys, to whom we bare ex- tended encouregement through our consuls and naval officers. The pres- ent good relation should be promoted for the peace of Chins. “The government of the United States is much gratified by the assur- snce given by Bussia that the occupa- tion of New Ohwangis for military pur- poses incidental to the military steps | for the security of the Russian border provinces menaced by the Chinese, and that as soon as order has been es- tablished Russia will retire her troops from those places if the action of the other powers be not an obstacle there- to, “No obstacle in this regard can atise through any action of the United States, whose policy is fixed and has been repeatedly proclaimed. © (Signed) “Anvey Apzy, “Acting Secretary.” SEEMS SURE UF ADOPTION.
