MUST BE PUT TO DEATH. Allies Treat With Prince Ching on These Terms. A deapalch from London, says:â€" A deapatoh to the Central News from Shanghai says the allies are treating with Prmoe Ching for an armistice. The basin of the negotiations is; 1. That Manchuria shall be made I butter State. 2. That European garrisons shall be established at treaty ports. 3. That the chiefs of the Box- or! shall be put to death. PARTITION OF CHINA. A despatch f.er London. saysâ€"The Pekin correspondent of the Times. in adespatch. dated September 4. says that Russia has decided to withdraw her Legatiom from Pekin, leaving a purely military command. He adds that it was expected that an an- nouncement of this decision would be made officially to the other powers on September 4. The other powers will presumably also withdraw their Tlegutiona, Pekin remaining under the military control of the powers during the winter. At the last meet- ing of the commanders it was an- nounced that Rueia would maintain 16,000 troops in China during the win- teir. The German commander said that Germany would keep the same number. The J :1 princes commander announced that Japan. would maintain an army of 22,000. The British commander could make no announcement regard- ing his Government's policy. which doubtless is still being considered. The correspondent addsâ€""There is every indication, however. that Lord Salisbury has decided that our pres- ent subordinate position in Pekin must be still humbler, and that we must recede further in the back- ground, though the obliteration of EUUE MEN WERE KILLED. HEAD-0N COLLISXON BETWEEN TWO FREIGHT TRAINS. Engllwn (‘rashed Togetherâ€"Robert Fisher, llnnngt‘r of the Alexandria Mine One of the Vlcllms. Victoria, B. 0., Sept. 16.â€"A fatal head-on collision occurred yesterday morning between two freight trains on the Esquimault and Nanaimo mil- way, as a result of which four men ave dead. The killed are: All the dead were horribly mutilated All the dead were horribly mutilat- ed. The operator was slightly injrur- od. The Wreck was caused by amis- take qt the operator, who reported the line clear. The trains met on a trestle bridge two miles north of Lad'ysmith, to which the line inclines from either side. When the engineers saw each other‘s trains approaching they put on brakeb and reversed, but the speed was too great, and the trains plunged into each other. Supt. Fisher tried to jump, but was caught among the wreckage and {rightfully mangled. \Valton who died on his engine was terribly cut up, and scolded. The force of the collision was so great that two loaded cars shot clear over the telegraph wires. Both engines were reduced to scrap iron, and the cars were piled on them, mak- ing a 'heap of debris as high as a. threeâ€"storey building. TWO V.C.’S FOR CANADA. Sergt.

HENRY SAUNDERS, brakesman our influence in Pekin will react against us throughout Asia. In the best informed quarters the opinion is expressed that Russia and Germany are acting in accord. Russia is seek- ing the definite alienation of all the territory north of the great wall. and Germany the annexation of the Provinces of Shantung. Kiangsi. and Yang-tee. Russia seems also to want to restore the power of the Dowager Empress and Emperor. wielding influence through them over the remaining provinces of China. The dismemberment of China seems almost inevitable. It is not antici- pated that Russia will withdraw in any circumstances. but will reinforce her troops now occupying Man- clhuria. Prince Ching. before return- ing to Pekin. went to have an audi- ence of the Emperor beyond the great wall, where the Imperial journey had been arrested, pending events in Pa- kin.

"The British officers who were cap- tured by the Boers were fairly treated. The food furnished to the non-commie. eiovned officers and men, however, was inadequate in quantity and inferior in quality. rr‘he inhuman treatment out the sick prisoners reflects the greatest discredit on the Boer authorities."
