Where the Boers Tried to Capture Cecil Rhodes.

Rightly or wrongly, the Boers hold
Cecil Rhodes responsible for all of their
present troubles, and to a man they feel
as Mark Twain said. "When Rhodes is
captured I'd like to be one of the men
at the other end of the rope." They have
made repeated attempts to capture him
and the merest rumor that he is aboard
a train is a guarantee that the train will
be derailed or attacked. Within a week,
on hearing the report that Rhodes was
to be on a certain train on the way to
the Kimberley mines, the track was torn
up in three places, before and behind
the train, and a vigorous attack made to
capture the escort and their hated en
emy. The above cut is made from one
MUKDEN, WHERE THE RUSSIANS FOUGHT A BLOODY BATTLE.
Mukden, a strongly walled city thirty
miles northeast of Pekin, is the scene
of the latest conflict between the Chi
nese and the European troops. The city
is within the limits of Manchuria, and
is the best fortified of al tHe Manchu
strongholds. Since the first Boxer out
break, and the steady routine of de
feats administered to the natives by the
allied troops, preparations have been
going on, as secretly but as rapidly as
possible, to make a strong resistance
to tite foreigners. Mukden, which was
attacked on Tuesday by the Russians,
was then defended by Krupp guns and
the Chinese troops armed with Mauser
A PEDDLER'S CLOSE SHAVE
Dick Fitzpatrick Refused to Stand and
Be Carved By a Perfect
Stranger.
A mix-up in which a gun and razor
figured, occurred at South Butte on
Wednesday, but no one was either cut
or shot. One of the participants, how
ever. did a little shooting and cutting
—he shot away from Constable Dorsey of
Justice Olsen's court and cut through a
convenient alley. Since then he has not
been seen. His name has not been
learned, but the man with whom he
mixed was Dick Fitzpatrick, a pc-ddlar.
They met in front of Justice Olsen's
court and quarreled. Finally the
stranger drew a razor and started to
wards Fitzpatrick, but the later did not
care for any of it and started off. Con
stable Dorsey had been watching the
proceedings from th court room and
when the blade of the razor swished
through the atmosphere he drew his gun
and went after the men. The one with
the razor ran, but Fitzpatrick, consid
ering he had already had a pretty close
shave, submitted to arrest. Yesterday
he was taken before the court and tax
ed witJi the costs in an action for dis
turbance.

of the bridges that was destroyed In one
of the raids made in hope of getting their
arch enemy. The Boers, however, were
unsuccessful, as the escort was strong
enough to fight them off until help ar
rived.
Rhodes comes and goes with the great
est fearlessness, though his fate would
be sealed forever if one of the Boer
marksmen could once get a bead on him.
Ordinary soldiers they do not care for,
save to get their arms; but Rhodes
would be as great a prize to them as half
the British army, and all its generals.
Possibly they could or would hold him
for peace terms; but the chances are
that if taken a prisoner he would never
see his friends again. In the light of
rides. They made a formidable resis
tance. the Russians losing almost a hun
dred men. The city was occupied by
the Russians early in the winter, but
evacuated on the profession of peace.
It is possible that the captors this time
will take steps to put the once power
defense out of the way of further harm
by blowing up the walls.
Just where the Krupp guns that de
fended the city this time came from is
somewhat of a mystery, as they were
not in that part of the country when
the place was captured some nonths
ago. But they did deadly execution on
this occasion. It may be that the wily

the history of their wrongs, and holding
him responsible as they do, it is doubtful
whether anything could save him. It
might not be policy; but were policy
lias never ruled the rugged African
burghers, and they would likely take
the shortest poetc justice that a stout
rope would afford.
Meantime the war goes on, the Boers
losing men at the rate of one to two
hundred a week, killed, wounded or pris
oners. As most of these are prisoners,
and are old men or boys who are not of
great value in the field, the real fight
ing force is not materially decreased. It
will take years at the present rate to end
the operations of the army, which is
estimated to be of 15,000 to 20,000 men.
Chinese have more of this dangerour
property cached away, waiting for a
favorable opportunity to use on the
foreigners. With all the present talk
of a Boxer rebellion in the spring to be
made on a greater scale than th» one of
last year, there is grave danger to the
safety of all foreign interests in the
counery. The dilatory tactics of some
of the diplomats, who, it would seem,
would rather hing on another war tha.i
abate their preposterous claims for du li
ages, are aiding in the development of
the coming storm. There may be many
Mukdens, in the loss to $he foreign
armies, if the matter is not settled soon.
VERY STRANGE CASE IS THIS
Chinaman Accused of Preparing to
Sell Girls as
Slaves.
.Two girls, half American and half
Chinese, are held by the Society for tiie
Prevention of Cruelty to Children in an
effort to prevent their being taken t »
China, where it is feared they will be
sold into slavery. They are Rosie and
Lily Yip. seven and nine years old re
spectively. They are the daughters of a
Christianized Chinaman of Philadelphia
and his white Sunday school teacher.
Two ag.-nts of the society heard that
Ching Ling Sam, of 43 Mott street, who
j had adopted the children, was going to
j start with them for China today. After
trouble with four Celestials who tried
I to stop them, the gilds were discovered
i under a bed in a room on the fourth
I floor. They were clad in gorgeous silk 1 !
i and seemed contented with their lot.—

HIGH CLASS WOMEN NEEDED.
An English woman, who has gone to
India to practice medicine, states in a
letter to a friend that it has been proven
that only through the enlightenment of
the high-class women of India can help
come to the Indian woman of lesser
rank, and the medical work of English
women is evidently to be the greatest
and most powerful lever for raising the
iron door that shuts the eastern women
from western freedom and culture. Fur
there that it is an unfortunate fact that
there are no more strenuous opponents
of any change in the position of Indian
women than most of the women them
selves. It is known to be no uncommon
thing for the mother of the family to
refuse to eat and make herself and
everybody else wretched if one of her
daughters is merely allowed to go to
school.
