demands $500 within two days. In the
event of its refusal he gives vent to the
following: IF you don't take notice Of
this, my request, you will be the next to
Russell Sage, and l will blow your
brains in the air without hurting any-
body else" Mr.. Harris promptly turned
the letter over to the police, and it re-
suited in the mailman being captured
in a lodging house at an early hour yes
terday. He submitted quietly to arrest,
but said it would go hard with Harris if
he ever secured his release.
Weyrauch was arraigned in a police
court yesterday. Harris appeared against
him, and said he first met Weyrauch
fourteen years ago in Hesse, Germany,
being introduced by the burgomaster.
Weyrauch was wealthy bookbinder at
that time and a prominent citizen. He
has since squandered his fortune in wild
dissipation, and lately has depen ded on
his friends and acquaintances for sup
port. Harris said he helped him at va
rious times, but recently he has not al
lowed him to enter his home. Weyrauch
was committed to the Bellevue insane
pavilion, where he will be examined as
to his mental condition.

MR.. SAGE'S BOMB.
A Mystery About the Man Who
Threw It.
HIS REMAINS STILL UNIDENTIFIED,

A San Francisco Man, Who Is Said
to Know Something About the
Plot, Is Now Under Arrest = In.
spector Byrnes Claims to Know the
Dynamiter.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-W. D. South.
worth, of San Francisco, who came to
New York a few days ago, and who is
said to know something about the plot
to assassinate Russell Sage, was ar
rested yesterday. He is now at police
headquarters.
In one respect, however, nothing addi-
tional has been learned than that which
was known Immediately after the explo-
sion. That the bomb thrower himself
was killed by the explosion of his in
fernal machine is settled fact. Who
he was, and what his object was for
committing the crime is involved in the
deepest mystery. The mutilated re-
mains of his body are at the morgue,
but nothing in the fragments of cloth
ing found has thrown any light on his
identity.
Hiram Wilson, who was mentioned as
the crank who dropped the dynamite,
was found at the State hospital in Utica.
Two men were killed by the explosion:
the bomb thrower himself and B. F.,
Norton, clerk in Mr.. Sage's office. Frank
j. Minzie, who was reported killed, has
turned up at his home in Brooklyn. He
only received slight scratches.
OF the wounded, all are out of serious
danger with the exception of young
Robertson, who is still at the Chambers
Street hospital, and the physicians are
very dubious as TO whether he will pull
through or not.
Scenes at the Morgue.
In a rough pine coffin in the morgue,
are the mangled remains of the man in
whose diseased brain originated the plot
to send millionaire into eternity. The
partially singed and blackened and torn
fragments were a terrible sight. In the
rude deal box the fractions of human
flesh and bone had not been placed in
the order of any resemblance to human
form.
At the upper end of the coffin reposed
the severed head Of the supposed maniac,
who had been literally torn limb from
limb by the tremendous shock caused by
his own demoniac act.
Deputy Coroner Jenkins made an au-
topsy on the head, which showed the
presence of an extravasation of blood in
the left side of the brain, caused by con-
cusslon. The two jars containing the
head and brain were taken to the Car
negi laboratory. 1t will take several
weeks to harden the brain sufficiently to
make microscopic examination prac-

aAvAcEs OF CHINESE REBELS
They Murder Between Three and Five
Hundred Christians at Jehol.


PARIS, Dec. 7.-The Chinese legation
In this city received an official dispatch
to the effect that on the night of Nov. 1s
two secret societiess named Tsinthan
and Tsaili, composed of emigrants from
China proper, proceeded to Mongolia
and inaugurated revolt against the
foreigners and Cl- istians centaY ed in the
district of Tchayoyang, in the province
OF Jehol.
According to the latest estimates from
300 to 500 Christians, several native
priests, Mongolian prince and some
nnconverteds natives were massacred.
Many churches were pillaged and burned,
especially in the towns of Tsientchang
and Piugsuten.
The emperor, on learning of the up-
rising, ordered the Tsungli- -Yamen to
telegraph to the governor general of the
province and to all the tartar comman-
ders in Manchuria to dispatch all their
available troops to the scone of the re-
volt.
The first engagement between the
troops and the rebels took place on Nov.
20 The rebels were defeated, the troops
advancing on them from various points
and completely surrounding them. The
different commanders have been in
structed to protect all religious estab-
hshments and to prevent further massa-
creS.

of the land slide on the Northern Pa

hnd there is no necessity for an inquest

criminal negligence could be sustained.
Eight or ten men are still missing and
ne thinks they have either escaped or
been carried down the river. Four

A YOUNG IMPosToR,
The Trick Played by a Walt to Obtain
Charity.


Charity.
IL now transpires that the homeless boy, who
was brought TO Seattle from Ballard Tuesday, in
search of charity, is an accomplished young i'm
postor. He has sailed under various names, as
the notion struck him, but it is believed that his
true name is Martin Olsen. He is IA years old,
very small for his age, and is very homely. He
is quite an actor and he can assume a woe-be.
gone, forlorn appearance that would touch the
hearts OF most men.
The youngster was first heard from about four
months ago. He called at police headquarters
and fell down in fit When he came to he
told pitiful tale about being motherless, and
his father worthless drunkard. He said he
was penniless and he wanted place 10 live. He
claimed that he was subject to fits and that they
were brought on while quite young by being
beaten by his cruel father. kind-hearted
policeman found him home with farmer; but
he proved so undeserving OF charity that the
farmer would not keep him and sent him out to
paddle his own canoe.
Then be was lost track of for several weeks.
Chairman Sampson, of the Pierce county
board of commissioners was in Seattle yester-
day, and seeing the urchin looking around the
auditors Office, Immediately recognized him as
having been Tacoma charge The boy was
found home over there, but he was soon cast
out. In Tacoma he was frequently troubled
with fits. Mr.. Sampson believes that the boy
keeps in stock the modus operandi for the i'm
mediate production of fits, and whenever a good
opportunity presents itself he presses the button
and over he goes, grovelling in fit. 1t generally
happens that he has q it when it will produce
the best effect
Learning the boys record, Chairman Gaseh, of
the board OF county commissioners, did not feel
at all inclined to take pity on the waif, and the
boy will now either have to go to work, like
many another boy of his age, or 'strike OUT for
some town where he is not known.

PRETTY DOUBLEPLAY
Shea Retires a Side By Muffing
a Spokane Fly.
SEATTLE WINS AGAIN. 8 TO 4.
Barnes Protests the Game-The Taco
mas Can't Hit the Bsil--Another
victory for Portland.

SPOKANE, May s.-(speciaL l-Today's game
was played amid rain, wind and kicks. The
rain was soft and gently falling, while the wind
and kicks seemed to be in contest az TO their
respective strength and frequency. Ii was cold
weather, and the spectators needed to do some
thing 10 circulate their chilling blood.
20 they kicked, stamped and cheered good and
bad plays alike, and blamed the weather, the
peanut boy and the blackboard marker IN their
restessness The only man who had no use for
IN oyercoat was Mr.. Umpire Hengle. He must
have circulated In an atmosphere above blood
heat and felt the need OF electric fans
and cracked ice. How much OF the
criticism he deserved each man present will
doubtless decide to his own satisfaction While
his decisions seemed no worse or better than on
previous days, he did not have the same control
Of the game and the players.
Seattle won, and by the same score as
Wednesdays game to 4. Manager Barnes en-
tered protest against the game. The play that
caused the difficulty was made in the fifth In
ming, when Spokane was at the bat. Conover
was on third base, Mannassal on Sec
ond, Stencil on first and Polhemus at
the bat. One man was CUT Polhemus
hit high fly just beyond second. Shea got I'M
der and gave every evidence Of mis- purpose to
catch It, but permitted the ball 10 drop at his
feet This forced the runners of bases Shea
threw TO thinner at second, retiring Stencil, and
thinner threw to Irwin at third, retiring Man.
nassau. 1t was double play, and retired the
side.
In the playing rules there is a paragraph stat
ing that II player purposely NUTS ball while
the men are on the bases the batsman alone
shall be called out. 1t is on this rule that Man
ager Barnes protests the game. Hengle would
not allow the claim, and 1t now remains for the
higher authorities to decide the point The
score:
