RAILWAY TRAINMEN.

An Injunction Suit Brought Against
the New Board of Trustees.
GALEsBURG (Ill.), Sept. 15.-To-day the
old Board of Trustees of the Brotherhood
Of Railway Trainmen, discharged by the
Grand Master, applied to Judge Glenn at
Monmouth for an injunction restraining
the new board from interfering with the
old board in the examination of the
books and accounts of the Brotherhood.
This action resulted from refusal of
Grand Secretary Sheehan to recognize
the old board, and his intention TO place
the books in the hands of the new board.
The bill alleges, among other things,
that the Grand Master, under the Consti-
tuition, has no right to appoint trustees
when such offices were not legally
vacant; that the old members were
legally elected at the regular convention,
and have never been legally deposed A
temporary injunction was issued Mr..
Sheehan asserts that his refusal to allow
the old board to examine the books was
based on the belief that they have been
rightfully discharged.

tempt was made to wreck the cannon
bali express on the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad last night.
When the train was two miles east of
Whiting, Ind, Engineer Pierson saw an
obstruction on the track and, reversing
the lever, the engine came to stop lust
as the pilot pushed its nose against a bar
rier of railroad ties.
As the train stopped, Charles Howard
Of Whiting, an employe OF the Standard
Oh Company, came running UP and said
that he knew all about the attempt to
wreck the train. There were five of
them" Howard said, excitedly, "and it
was their intention to wreck the train
and then rob the express messenger and
passengers"
Howard then told how he met the five
men at Whiting during the afternoon,
and said that they invited him to walk
Gown the tracks after darkness had set
III. 1t WAS about 7:I0 O'clock when the
party reached the spot where the ties
were placed on the track. Howard says
that all the men were armed, and point
ing theirs ravOlvers at him, they COM
pelled him to aid in putting the timbers
across the rails. He attempted to run
away and warn the trainmen, when the
robbers threatened to shoot him if he
moved.
His story is not believed, and he was
arrested on suspicion Of being one of the
Wreckers and brought to this city. A
score of officers from South Chicago are
hunting through the Indiana marshes
after the five men.

TIENTsIN. Sept. 15.-The Foreign Min
listers at Pekin have urgently protested
to the Chinese Government against the
latest Gutrages: There is renewed talk of
naval demonstration upon the part of
the combined fleets of the Powers. The
North Coast Government is dispatching
explicit instructions to the Governors of

from China the Powers are deeply af-
fected by the recent outrages perpetrated
upon foreigners in China, and they have
agreed in principle upon joint action.
The only detail remaining to be deter
mined upon by the foreign nations on be-

REVOLUTION PENDING.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 DR.. w. III.
Abercrombie, United States Consul at
Nagasuzi, who is here on visit, says
revolution is impending in China. Saws
he: THE country is divided into two
great factions, one of which is secretly
plotting to overthrow the present mon
archy. The Emperor is of Tartar blood,
and there is great hatred of the Tartar
among. the Chinese proper. They have
been planning for years to overthrow the
relgning dynasty, and sooner or later /
think the discomfort will break out in
open revolt. This is the UNDERLYING
cause of the riotous attacks on foreign
missionaries. The anti-Tartar element
hopes to embroil the Government in
quarrels with the different nations. They
are willing that any number of mission
aries should be sacrificed if the response
bility is thrown on the Emperor and his
advisers, whose downfall they are thus
helping to bring about.
THE position of our country is hunlil-
iating. If serious outbreaks should oc-
cur American citizens would be com
PEELED to call on the English or Russian
commanders of battle ships to come to
their assistance. The powerful ironclads
these nations have in Chinese waters
make them feared and respected. Before
left Japan our sole fleet there was COM
posed of three insignificant vessels-the
Monacacy, Palos and Alliance-m
craft that would only excite derision if a
crisis should occur. Not one of them
could be safely trusted to navigate the
Yellow Sea, and the first was condemned

SALT LAKE CITY (Utah), Sept. 15.-The
Irrigation Congress was called to order
at 1890 to-day, about 450 delegates being
present.
Governor Thomas, on behalf of Utah,
welcomed the delegations in a somewhat
extended speech, in which he referred to
the fact that Mormon settlers in 1917 had
begun the first system of irrigation in the
West. That act in their past had laid the
foundation for the prosperity of Utah and
other Western States and Territories.
This, coupled with the fact that Salt Lake
City is the center of the great arid region
of the United States, made this city the
place where the body should meet.
The speaker referred to the ceding OF
The arid lands to the States and Terri
tories, and said that as Congress would
doubtless consider the question it would
be well to consider the best means to be
adopted in presenting the measure to
Congress- and the most eXpedlent Sug-
gestions to offer that body when the plan
had been perfected. Congress, he thought,
would be a great educating meeting.
Few people in the East have any idea OF
the physical conditions of the West, and
this would enlighten them to great ex-
tent The tide of emigration which has
been drifting westward has now turned,
and is going East. The great arid regions
of the United States are being settled
upon, and the question is, How shall we
make the lands habitable?
The speaker spoke Of the reserving OF
great grazing ranges, and said this should
be sold in tracts of limited value, under
carefully guarded provisions of the law.
The area of Utah under cultivation is
2,304. 900 acres, about 4 per cent. of the
81, ,60i 600 acres. About fifty million can
not be used except portion Of it tor
grazing He believed this congress
would greatly influence legislation in be-
half of the West.
The Mayor and President of the Cham
Der of Commerce also delivered adj
dresses.
Permanent officers were chosen, c. c.
Wright of California being selected as
President and f. X. Gillespie. Secretary.
Wright delivered short speech on the
matter of ceding arid lands to the State
or Territory in which they were situated,
and the best means to suggest to Con-
gress for so doing. Also the best meth
DDS of irrigation TO be suggested.
At the conclusion of his remarks it was
decided TO appoint a committee to me-
moralize Congress, and Thursday was set
aside as a special order for preparing the
memorial.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-July 31st the
United States Commissioner at Detroit,
IN the case of Chinaman found unlaw-
fully in the United States, ordered him to
be returned to China, as being the coun-
try whence he came. The case was APP
pealed to the District Court, and to-day
the Treasury Department received dis
patch that Judge Swan had reversed the
decision of the Commissioner and found
that Canada was the country from which
the man came and had directed his re-
turn there. Acting Secretary Spaulding
telegraphed the Deputy Collector at De-
troit that in case the Chinaman came be-
fore the court on habeas corpus proceed
ings to request the District Attorney to
take an appeal, if the proceedings were
under the Exclusion Act of 1888, and the
decision will be regarded as final.
At the Treasury Department, with the
information now before it, the decision is
regarded as one of great Importance, and
1t is said that the practical effect, if the
proceedings at Detroit were under the
Exclusion Act, will be to render inoper-
atiVe the provisions of that Act The
Attorney has heretofore decided
that under the provisions of the Act the
country whence the Chinaman comes
means China, and the department has
been sending all Cinnamon convi cted of
being unlawtully in the United States
BACK to that country.

Enormous Death List Reported From
Asiatic Turkey.
BosToN, Sept. ia report received at
the Custom-house from Asiatic Turkey
says that the cholera is rapidly spreading
there. New villages are affected every
day, and the number of deaths reported
in the city of Aleppo from June to the
middle of August was $50. There are no
definite figures for other cities, but the
death list is enormous. In towns where
the pestilence is raging they burn the
huts in which the cholera patients have
died. Many military physicians have
been sent to these places, and sanitary
cordons have been established on the
Euphrates at Biredjio and Rumkalch.
Moslems and Christians are allowed to
leave the village, but the Jews are COM
PEELED to stay. Many are British subjects,
and the British Consul has interfered for
them. They might. after paying money,
be allowed TO go out like their neighbors,
but by interference the Consul saves
their money.
