PORON TO LADY IN PEKIN,

MISS RUTHERFORD TELLS OF HER PERRIBLE EXPERIENCES 1N

BRITISH

THE LEGATION,

A letter has been received by Mrs. Rutherford, Voronto, from her daught- erin Pekin. Miss I. uthertord’s letter is dated Pekin, Aug. 15. Following 1S an extract:—

‘**‘At last we are safe, and I am pri- vileged to write you again. How I wisi I could see you and tell you all

ourexperiences during the last ten weeks. But that cannot be so. [I will De content to send you a short letter

Just how, as some of the troops are to return to ‘Tien-Tsin to-day, and = will take our mail down with them. I hove to wrlle you a long one for the next mail, and give you a detailed account uf the siege.

“t iuaued you the last letter abont June 6th, and had one ready to send a lew Gays latter, but we received word that all mail communications were cut cif, so I did not send it,

“Miss Gowans and myself went to. the Briish Legauon on June 6ih Later on we got so boxed up that it Was necessary for all the foreigners to repair to one place,and as the British Legation wes the only place large encugh to hold all they all came here eventually. We were defended by sul-

| Giers, and bad our places weli fortufied, but nothing but Ged’s Aimighty band

brought us through alive. How many, many Wines He manifested His powers { could not number. With a small hanéful ef less than 400 soldiers, thou- sands of Chinese were kept at bay. It was estimated that not less than 50,- ooo were arrayed against us. Shells, cannon balis, and rifle shots were p-ured in On us; and to our great sor- row some of them were effective. We have lost about 65 men, principally soldiers, but some of them civilians, who had to take up arms, and _prob- ably 75 were wounded, but are recov- ering. One missionary, or rather a college professor, went out alone and never returned.

“I shall have to skip the long inter- val of time here, and tell you that yes- terday the relief arrived. How our cheers wert up, and how we praised the Lord. ‘The messenger is to go in atew minutes, so I cannot tell you anything more this time. Miss Douw sent a cablegram to her home yester- day to her home in Albany that we had all been saved, and they should have it in about five days, as it will have to be taken to sume point near Chefoo before it can be sent. _ I hepe to get news of youall as soon asthe mail can be brought up,”

KIPLING AND DOYLE IN AFRI- CA.

Rudyard Kipling and Conan Doyle were the twe popular men of letters at the front—or rather in Sorth Africa Both of them were writers on warlike subjects. Then was their chance, but unfortunately neither could really avail himself of it because it involved the sometimes common duties of the regu!-

ar war correspondent. Even Mr. Richard Harding Tavis felt qualms

about soiling his pen with routine cab- les and obeying foolish press censors Obviously, Mr. Kipling couid not be at the mercy of any subaltern who might mutilate his best passages. Doctor Doyle solved the prob!em by joining the forces asa dower and in that capacity he not only worked like a Trojan but incidentally managed io see a lot of real fighting on ihe lorg march from Bloemfontein to Pretori:, Mr. Kipling, on ihe other hand, could not seriously take up another profession, because he has not, like Dr. Doyle, two callings. Besides, his

A RECORD MARCH.

-——

Captain Mason, of the Royal Can-, adians, writing- to his father from, Krugersdorp on Aug 22, gives deiails of the most extiaordinary marching of the campaign. In three weeks the | regiment marched 240 miles through aheavy country, and Col. Otter, to keep his men in good heart, adopted. the idea of putting a duzen of the best | singers in the regiment together in the} centre to sing marching songs. On} Aug 17 the regiment was rear guard of | the column pursuing De Wet. The; men stocd to their arins at 1p. m., |} marched off at 1 30 a. m., and went all | nigut until 10 30 next morning without | a bite to eat, covering 21 miles. They marched out again in the afternoon, but Lord Kitchener, apparently recog- mizing that there was a limit to human endurance, ordered them to go back and camp for the night. When the regiment reached Krugersdorp on Aug 22, after its fortnight ot steady march- ing, the men went through the town gaily singing, “The Land of tLe Maple Leaf.’

WAR IS WAR.

Lord Roberts’ evidence before the South African hospitals commission confirms the surmise that the sick who suffered because of the exigencies of the campaign and not because cf the inege:tiveness of the army hospital service. ‘The great forward rush afier Paardeberg, the effort to follow up rapidly the severe blow there deaii, necessitated the taking of every avail- able horse and vehicle, ‘Thesick were! treated as well as possible under tie’! circumstances, but the great ment against the enemy so Caretu «| planned and circulated to possibly ; a speedy end to the war, was the ti | consideratiun..
