Many Religious Workers in Be- sieged City Were Witness- #s of Battle. Nearly all the missionaries of the | Methodist Episcopal church who were shut off by the revolution in west Chi- na are now out of the danger zone is the news: cabled to the board of for eign missions in New York by Bishop Bashford from Shanghai. Twenty- four of these sens out by the board and sixteen of the Woman's Foreign Missionary society have reached Shang- hai Chungking and Chengtu. Rev. and Mrs. Spencer is, Dr. J. H.

Freeman, Rev. sand Mrs, Elrick Williams and the family of Dr, MoCartoey are leaving shortly for America, The revolptionists were under the im, that the iuierialiate at the South Gate fort wo joi them, so one night they made an attack on the fort: The imperialists hoisted a white flag to mislead their enemv and when they advanéed opened fire upon them. Lack of ammunition forced them to fetreat, but they returned to the 8at- tact on the mext night. The next day the German and American consulates moved to the warships at the river port, the gates of the city were closed and the real seige began, There was much excitement, Dr. Blackstone writes, but the fourteen foreigners were confident they would come to neo harm. Order was maintained at the point of the sword, and all who loot: ed or disturbed were beheaded without trial. Pr. Blackstone saw one case of "'jus- tice' delivered on the spot. Three sol diers purchased 25 cents' worth in a store, but paid only 10 cents. A rum- pus followed, and an officer riding by dismounted and had the three soldiers beheaded. Three Manchu soldiers rob- bed a missionary of $300, They were "soon captured, beheaded and their heads carried on poles while a warn. ing was shouted to all. Then follow- ed wholesale beheading, for when the outbreak came it was suspected that many revolutionists were in the city. A dtudent passing the mission house why beheaded and his heart cut out. His ricksha man suffered the same The announcement that all cue- less Chinamen would be beheaded was followed by a sedrch of the city for such, and the missionaries helped many to get away. Revolutionists Take Fort. "It was on 8 Thursday that we saw the hardest fighting," Dr. Blackstone writes, "and it marked the time of victory.

The big guns shot forth red flames, which flashed against the smoke and elouds, adain 2 to the weirdness of the tragedy. At one time we would hear spent bullets dropping hear us, which were from the revolutivnists firing from the far- ther side of the fort toward the city, Finally, after about three hours, a big charge was made, the great guns were worked at a rapid rate and the Then a perfect fusilade of explosions, heav- ier than the musketry, followed, and immediately all wes gilent, and knew the fort had n taken, "Later in the night very heavy fir. ing started up at the northeast gate, outside of which there is a high wall. There had been continuous mountsin, within a half mile of the light firing going on there for eigh- teen hours, and after midnight firing incrensed to a regular bom- bardment. The day previous we had seen the imperial tents at the first peak of this. mountain, where 250 mperial soldiers were stationed with rapid firing and mountain guns. A- bove them on a higher peak we had seen the revolutionists take a stand with mountain artillery. The fort just Suside thix northeast gate had two six-inch: and two threesinch guns, these being manned by Tartar sol diers, probably because this fort is near to aad overlooks the Tartar City, On the north side of the city dre the Tiger and Lion Hill forts, both of which were in action in this battle, With the three forts in action . and the two mountain artillerigs also, we had by far the fiercest cannonading of the whole sidze. Just before day: light a fierce rush was made, and the victory was won, Eighty of the 'dare to die' band had char the height and, with hand bombs, drove the im- perialigts to wild flight down the moundahr.""

T, stead is the Aunthority, But He Doesn't Give Any Names, W. T. Stead, the editor of Review of Reviews, who is. a whole hearted, if somewhat eceentric, radi cal, writing in his magaziue, just one year ago, under the heading, "Will Ulster Fight ?"' made some remarks which are mot without interest at the present juncture. "The blatant remnant of blasphem- ing fanatics," said Mr. Stead, "which is to be found in Belfast and the! county of Antrim, has been making itself ridiculous by swearing that Ulster will never, never sabmit to home rule. Even after home rule has been decreed by king, lords and com- mons, these devoted 'loyalists' now declare that they will import arms from Germany to shoot down the king's soldiers, rather than obey the aw of the land. As evervone knows, they have no authority to speak on behalf of Ulster for there are as many nationalists in Ulster as there are unionists. The majority of Ulster unionists. are too sane and law-abid- ing to countenance these incitements to civil war. But it is unnecessary to demonstrate the worthlessness of their braggadocio, It will suffice simply to reproduce here the famous Charter Toast, which these trueculent gentry drink with enthusiasm at every fes. tiva gathering they hold in the north of Ireland. Here is the precious toast, which sometime even takes precedence of the toast to the king : The Toast, To the glorious, pious," and im- mortal memory of King William (not forgetting Oliver Cromwell), who saved us from pope and Ppopery, knaves and knavery, slaves and slavery, brass money, and wooden shoes And all who refuse to drink this toast may they be rammed, crammed, stam- med, and damned into the great gun at Athlone, to be blown over the hills of damnation. May their teeth . be converted into paving- stones, to pave the way of the eroppies into bell, and their blood into train oil to light their souls to damnation. May I be at ' the end of the gun with a fiery lam: beau,lo sé them burning round the earth, the moon, the stars, ond the sea, like flies around a sugar-cask on a hot summer after: noon. May they be blown against the rock of blastation, and come down in a shower of innumerable pieces, aud may those pieces: be picked up and made into sepur- ables to mend the soles of the Orangemen's boots to walk on the Twelfth of July." 5 "What," asked Mr. Stead, "ean any civilized man think of the trou- sered bipeds who cheer such sanguin- ary sentiments, but that they should doff their trousers and display them- selves as the Yahoos that they are? And it is these savages who are threatening the British empire 4 the armed revolt," A SHOULD BREED wil. / -- Sir James Barr Makes Plea For Men Who De. Loudon, Feb. M.D. 179. =8ir Jamex Barr, president of the Liverpool the Eugenics Society, pre- siding at a meeting at Liverpool, said that eugenics were forging ahead | and public' interest in the subject wks in creasing and was bound tolead to some great event in the futufe. At the end of 1911, Sir Jhmes said, he was asked (o specify whal he con- sidered the five greatest evenls in this eountry in 1911. The first thad ocenr- red to his mind was the aerial flight around Great Britain, but that was won by a Frenchman. The nest thing was the trans-channel swim. That wes accomplished by a Yorkshireman, whe had lived a great deal of the time i 'ranee. Next came the launching of the Olympic and the Titanic, but that in Belfast. Je was then stumped. He knew of no other achieve none. The fact was, he could not point to five achievements in England during the year.
