Next Door to Grand Central Hotel Wholesale Massacre of Christians.Number Placed at 15,000.Imperial Troops Did Ghastly Work.KKLIKFt OI.r.MN MKKTS WITH HKSISTANCK.Ijondon.Augf.ndent, “are now half way to Lofa.The force includes 2(),000 Japanese under Gen.Vatnnehnchi, and 10,000 Russians.The British force totals 0,000, and the other foreign troops about 7,000.We are weak in artillery.’ Londan, August 4.Nearly all the newspaper correspondents confirm the reports of a wholesale massacre of christ iansout side Pekin, a corresihondent of the Daily News giving tue number of killed as bt tween lOJXKl and 15,000 all defenceless converts.Imperial troops, so it is stated, did the ghastly work.According to a s|)ecial despatch from Shanghai, dateti August 3, the advancing column of the allies was reported yesterday to have reached a point thirty-five miles beyond Tien Tsin.Nothing from my other point corroborates this statement.In fact the Standard goes so far as to say that it fears the real advance aoart from preliminary measures lias not yet begun.Tien Tsin despatches, dated July 30, tell of an action which is termed ‘reconnaissance between the Japanese and Chinese,’ two miles beyond the Hsiku Arsenal, in which theJapanese withdrew after suffering 30 casualties.The Tien Tsin correspondent of the Standard under date of July 27.declares that the Americans and Germans have been ordered to move forward without waiting for the British.A Che Koo st>ccial dated August 1, announces the safety of all the Americans in Pekin and the receipt of a letter from Dr.Chaltman dated Pekin.July 20, saying that on previous day SirClaude MacI )onald, the British minister, had agreed to a truce, provided the Chinese came no closer and adding: “We hope that this means relief, but having defeated the Chinese, we arefearul now of treachery.All are exhaust-ted with constant watching fighting and digging trenches.” “The greatest credit is due to Mr.Squiers, secretary of the l nited States legation, whose military ex-[>erience and energy are invaluable.The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily News, says the consul there regret the independent action taken by the American association and China association on the ground that it is injudicious, he says :— “The settlement being internation al, petty jealousies must disappear.The China Association is of little local influence.” Presumably he refers to the American Asiatic Association.The Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily Express announces the arrival from San Francisco of Homer Lea, for some time secret agent in the United States for the Reformation of the Chinese Empire with ndent of the Times one of the members of the Tsung Li Yamen mentioned by United States Consul Goodnow as having been beheaded for pro-foreign tendencies, was Hsu Ohing Cheng, former minister to Russia.The corres-)M)ndent savs the Empress Dowager ordered his execution on the advice) of Hen g Ping.Li Hung Chang has been informed from Pekin that prince ( long’s only prominent supporters in his ncace i>olicy are Gen.Yung Lu and Wang Wen Shao, President of the Board of Revenue, whose influence is small.troops will send the entire Chinese population over to the Boxers side and provoke the murder of the defenceless whites within reach of the mob.••Nor will the slaughter step, said he, “in my opinion, with the foreigners.I anticipate that the Emperor and the Empress, as well as every Chinaman who has sought to save the lives of the legationers, will bt* slain.If the |M»wers pull down the dynasty, infinite ditlicullies will come tumbling about their heads.” El KTY MISSK >N A BI ES MASSACRED.I»ndon, Aug.3.Rev.Mr.organ, of Singaufu, telcgraghs that fifty missionaries have been massacred inShensi Province, and that the native Christians arc enduring fearful jiersecution.Another Berlin mission in the Province of Kiang-Si, near the borders of Kwaiifr-Tung, has been looted ami a native wounded.CHIH CHEN THREATENS.IF ALLIES ADVANCK IMPKRIAL TROOPS WILL OPPOSE INVADER.London, Aug.3 “China reganTs the march of the allies on Pekin as an unfriendly act, if not tantamount to a declaration of war,” said Sir Chili (’hen, the Chinese minister to-night, lb* added : “Unless the powers assure the imperial authorities than they do not intend to do more than release the ministers and the other foi-eigners, the Chinese regulars will be ordered to op|x>se the invaders.There is no other course o|H»n to the Chinese Government.“ What would Englishmen say of the British Government if it were idle while a foreign army marched tolxmdon?What would Americans say of the Washington Government if it were limp in the presence of an alien foe?China lias not yet reeeived an official and specific pronunciamento setting forth the intentions of the |>owers.She must regard all armed invaders as enemies until they solemnly proclaim themselves friends.* The minister says that even if formal war breaks out the Pekin authorities will do everything they can to protect the Caucasians in the capital.He fears, however, that tbe advance of the allied Cannot Break Through Cordon.Hl JUillKliS SAY TilKY WILL MAKKA STAND AT MACHE-DORI\ London, August 5 A special despatch from Pretoria, dated Saturday, says : “Gen.Christ inn De Wet is completely surrounde I near Rcis/Jmrg and it is impossible for his forces to escape through the strong British cordon.“The Boers say they will make a stand at Machadorp.They arc short of ammunition and food.Gen.Hamilton by the rapidity of his movements, prevents reinforcements reaching Commandant-General Botha.“Many residents of Pretoria have been sent into exile for having behaved cruelly or shamefully to British subjects before or during the war.The terms of exile vary, in one instance reaching 25 years.” A despatch from Pretoria says Lord Algernon Lennox lias been released by the Boers.Only two officers remain prisoners.Commandant Olivier, who was with General Prinsloo, has escaped to the hills with 1,500 men.He has taken up a position between Harrismith and the New Market Road.General Bundle is now following him.Prisoners raptured by General Ian Hamilton say that soft-nosed bullets are now served out the Boers.A Lorenzo Marquez despatch says that General Baden-Powell was wounded during a recent engagement at Kustenburg BRITISH PRO-BOERS.* INCRIMINATING LETTERS FOUND AT PRETORIA AND BIA)EMFONTEIN.London, Aug.3—in response to questions, the Colonial Secretary, Mr.Chamberlain, said to-day in the House of Commons that the Boer Governments in Heeing from Bloemfontein and Pretoria left masses of private correspondence among the archives which the authorities < n the spot were examining.He had received, among other things, copies of letters that purported to have been written by members of the House of Commons couched in the form of open criticism, asking for information regarding martial law, and suggesting that President Kruger make temporary concessions and await a reaction in England.In his opinion the letters were not treasonable, though certainly im-projier, whilst Her Majesty was engaged in difficult negotiations.He promised to send the letters to the writers and ask if they desired to explain, and he would await a reply before deciding whether to publish them or not.BRIBING THE BURGHERS.Pretoria, Aug.3 President Kruger and General Botha have issued a proclamation promising to pay all damage done to the farmers by the British provided the burghers remain with the commandos.WAR IX)AN ISSUED.London, Aug.3—The

Boers.No prisoners were taken.NO GROUNDS FOR COMPLAINT Toronto, Aug.4 An ‘Evening Telegram’ s|KH*ial cable from l on-don, Aug.3, says: ‘In the House of Commons this afternoon Mr.Geo.Wyndham, Parliamentary Secretary to the War Office, in reply to a question put by Sir W.C.Gull, Cnionist member for Barnstaple, said the Canadian soldiers invalided from South Africa and convalescing at

rent free in the houses here.Some of the cases were except ional.( )ne women who had been drawing rations for six weeks was proved to be the owner of fourteen oxen, ten mules, and 1*200 in ready

in fact they have not yet been signed by the bank.On Thursday the Bank of Nova Scotia agency here received one of the new bills that was not signed, and to-day several others put in an api>earance.Some are of the five dollar and some ten dollar denomination.All are genuine bills, printed by the American Rank Note Company, and that concern has been asked to explain their existence.The theory is that some dishonest employee printed .extras for himself.All came to St.John from Nova Scotia points, and it is feared there may be a large number in circulation.The bank has bills in its vaults here bearing the identical numbers of those put in circulation, and it is a warning to persons to be sure that their bills are signed.SHERBROOKE, QUF„ SEPTEMBERS'» FIVE Full Days ol Fair and Two Evening Performances Unrivalled Programme of .Attractions, HEADED BY THE FOLLOWING LEADERS : IS-TakezavVa-lîi IMPERIAL JAP \NESE TROUPE, connistiog of thirteeu people, introducing twenty marvellous specialties.The greatest Japanese troupe in the world.2-Lcos Itrebos-2 Unequalled and sensational high wire Bicycle act, introducing brilliant and magnificent ELECTRO FIREWORKS in mid air 8-DiIlWoptb FatRily-S Four ladies and four gentlemen acrobats, performing the newest and most daring combinations.2-Ryder & DryVer-2 Uproarious comedians introducing their COMEDY MULE—SPARTA, in a mes*: laughable pantomime.Many other acrobats.Contortionists, Aerialist*, Tunab'ere, Jugglers, efc.8-Gapt.Marryat’s Grey hoü R(is-8 Harnessed to chariots will race the spaed-iest horse on the race track.Magnificent Firc\Vorks Oa WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY evenings, comprising numerous go-ge^us and dazz'ir g set pieces.D ubie co ossal FIRE PORTRAITS of LORD ROBERTS and LORD KITCHENER 6-YVerptz Faipily-(î Three ladies and three gentlemen.Sen sational aerialist, in their daring and thrilling performance in mid-air.HUNDREDS OF TO RETl CANADIANS RN.JELLY CUSSES A.t the Oc KrJ OK JOHN MILLET.Imported Haeki IliWton Stallion ales, Sire of lYi P Will nmk MONDAYS-TUKSDAY9 WKDNKSDA 164 Winnei Bos 0B) I9M0.in.(gmipton, Invf kwj^rville.Phi Lui Hows i (Mill, Kht, Burj Cookshi ,se Stable.Ijennt ie Stable, Sherbi —TO WOMEN I will send to any lady a receipt foi painful or delayed periods.It will relieve in 2 to 5 day* Absolutely harmtaw Mbs.Morton, •7 II’.Ferry St Rutlblo N.Y.THURSDAY Fridays- Noon, »UoKe H Xitcht^^laKoK Hif 8ATUKD Nooi|Mla!?oK Housl^tAbles, Sherbrooke.NigtSHiimurst Kai^k Compton.HaytonAmles in a blood teky, one white hind foot, foafll 1891, stands hands high and weighs ^pn lbs.Sire ^pneer 1(»88.dam 4559,^pllT by Young Kirewa»1.167, gr.d.Polly Driver 189.g gr.d.¦tsey by Raglan 6.VL Ter^- $10 to warrant marc iApal, payable 1st >I®vh.1901.Season $8.00.I.rts show continued improvement in all sections, and in many parts of Manitoba, especially on the Souris section.Wheat cutting will commence this week.Throughout the territories indications are that the wheat will be cut about the 15th of this month.At Macdonald, on the M.A N.W.it is expected that harvest-commence on August 5.WestbofTHie, another station on this line, notes great improvement in quality of the wheat.There is a New Disease of the scalp and hair called Folliculitis.It is a catarrhal infUmma+ion of the hair follicle.It is caused by a parasite that attacks the glands that furnish the lubricant for the hair.These glands are soon destroyed and the itifUmmation rapidly extends to the membranes lining the hair follicle.Here small quantities of pus are secreted, the hair bulbe are destroyed and the hair easily slips from the collapsing walls of its follicle.Bunkers Hair Tonic IS A SURE REMEDY.MANUrACTUltBD AND SOLD NT H VM*RRSU BUNKER (Hair Specialists Sherbrooke, Que.this a good proportioned Boot ?It fits as it looks.We have them in dififeien widths.GOLDEN SHIRE RKG Cat artian Dr ft Horse, S-B •* Dominion 8,B MORENGY BROS., LEADING SHOE DEALERS.Golden Shire is a beautiful cherry bay with black p« hit* and a Miiall star in th* forehead.He sum ds 16 hands high and weighs 1600 lb*., and brod f*y Paul Reed, of Belfast, Out.Golden Shire is a pow srfully built horse, set on well formed llmhs with silky hair and splendid feet ;
