REBELLION.
Chinese Town Captured in a Well

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Chronicles
correspondent at Shanghai says: The
capture Of Tehwei, near Foochow, on
Tuesday by 1900 rebels, was a well
organized rising. The rebels were
armed with repeaters and led by capa.
bic men, The outbreak was directed
mainly against the authorities, though
antl-forcien cries were heard. The off.
cials were powerless. European resi-
dents are apprehensive of spread of the
revolt. The British consul here, in an
interview, said he believed that the
recent quietude was only temporary,

A BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
One of the Mail-Box Thieves Makes His
Escape From the Nashville Jail.

One of the Mail-Box Thieves Makes His
Escape From the Nashville Jail.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 17.-Thomas
c. Boolan, alias Clayton, one of the
mail-box thieves, made daring and
successful escape from jail Monday
evening. He was brought here from
Atlanta six days ago while Hubbard
and Stratton, his pals, were taken on
to st. Louis, where they are now con-
fined
His scheme was a bold one, deliber-
ately planned and coolly executed. At
5 o'clock the colored cook and a trusty
named Jim Streeter took the prisoners
supper to the second floor of the Jail
They locked themselves in, removed
the key from the lock and began dish
ing out the supper to the inmates.
Boolan, who was at large on the Sec
ond floor with the other prisoners, step
ped up to the cook and said: "Give me
the key. The clerk is at the door and
wants to get in"
Never suspecting but that Boolan
was t1lliiS tiiC tiutll thC SOlolCu
man handed Boolan the key. lie walked
quietly to the door, unlocked it
and opened it. He stepped out,
and closing it noiselessly, bounded
down the steps, which led directly to
the street entrance. The door here
was not fastened, and quickly throwing
it open, he sprang out and held the door
closed until he had succeeded in OPEN
ing the iron gate, which was simply
thrown by a lever Boolan darted down
Front street toward Broad, and escaped.
He had reached the street before
the cook noticed his absence, and when
the alarm was given the first ones to
reach the street saw Boolan nearly 600
yards away, and running for dear life
Jim Streeter, the colored trusty, bound
ed down the stairway as soon as he
realized Boolan's escape, and gave
chase. He is probably still chasing tho
fugitive, as he has. to date, forgot to re-
turn. 1t is thought that he was in coll
fusion with Boolan.

RUSSIAN CONSPIRACY.
Not a Plot Against the Gar, But Desire
for n RenresentatiYa Assembly.

NOT flOt Against the tzar, but Dosife
for a Representative Assembly.
LONDON, Nov. IA widespread con-
spiracy TO create a representative as
sembly has been discovered in Russia.
Moscow was the center. The authori-
ties, through the espionage which pre-
walls throughout Russia, were able to
learn who the conspirators were, their
places of meeting and, in fact, every
thing connected with the plot. While
secretly pursuing their Investigations
in St Petersburg they found that the
conspirators in that city were only a
part of a very numerous band, the
headquarters of which was located in
Moscow They learned, also, that the
conspirators had been very active in
drawing adherents to their plan, and
that the conspiracy had ramifications
which spread to all the principal cities
of the empire.
The object of the conspiracy just un.
earthed, unlike a majority of the plots
discovered in Russia, was not to kill
the czar, but was the organization of a
movement having for its end the ere.
alton Of representative assembly-an
object which has been the dream OF
many Russians for years Sixty mem.
bers of the nobility and of the upper
and middle classes, who are charged
with completely in the conspiracy, have
been arrested.
The discovery of the plot and the ar
rest of SO many prominent subjects
have caused a decided sensation in
Russia.

Hundreds in the Plot for a Popular As
sembly-Famine and Disease Make Mill
ions Desperate.
LONDON, Nov. 17.-Since the arrest at
Moscow, on Thursday last, of about 100
members of noble families, literateurs
and others, charged with being con-
cerned in the movement looking to the
creation of a popular assembly or
parliament similar to the Temsl1y labor
assemblies under the early czars, it has
become known that this alleged con
spiracy was of much wider extent than
at first supposed From the time the
discovery of this pilot" became known
the correspondents in Russia of the
news agencies and newspapers have
been doing their utmost to discover
the true inwardness of these wholesale
arrests but apparently without sue
cess.
A United Press correspondent at St
Petersburg wired Sunday night: "The
strictcst censorship of press dispatches
is observed The government is contem-
plating severe measures against the
newspaper correspondents. 1t is almost
imposs bic to get or send facts. All in
formation Is refused The police ad.
wise correspondents not to comment on
the arrests. The situation is very
grave. The widest rumors are in circu-
lation"
In this city however, there are
number of prominent Russian exiles
who seem to be able to laugh at the
Russian police and who are kept con.
stantly well informed, by some secret
means, as to nearly all that transpires
in Russia. One of the most prominent
of these refugees was questioned last
night and said that never in the history
of the Russian empire was the situation
so desperate and so weighted with dan
ger to the imperial regime.
Not a quarter of the real horrors OF
the famine is known, he added. Thous-
ands are dying in the stricken
districts of starvation or typhoid fever,
inhucnzaor other diseases. Even were
the government so constituted that an
honest attempt could be made to relieve
the sufferers, even had the government
at its disposal the immense sums of
money which would be necessary to re-
lieve the distressed, thousands would
perish before help could reach them'
even supposing that the inclemency OF
Russian winter would permit the free
transportation of supplies @

KNIGHTS OF LABOR
Opposed to Sunday Closing of tho Worries
Falr-Fayor Equal Pay for Equal Work
by Women and Woman Suffrage.

by Women and Woman Suffrage.
TOLEDO, O., Nov. i7.-The most inn
portant business transacted by the ma
tional convention of Knights of Labor
Monday, judged from outside the order,
and both worldly and religious stand
points, was the assembly's virtually sit
ting down on fearful pleading from the
Worlds w. G. T. U. and National W. c.
T. IT,, now holding conventions in Bos.
ton. This was presented few days
ago through delegates, or committee
from the Toledo Union, asking that the
national assembly here pass resolution
asking that the Worlds fair be closed
Sunday. 1t will be remembered Pow
derly in speech here Monday even
ing, most emphatically denounced
whining hy societies and Pharisees,
who circulate petitions begging people
to abstain from all work Sunday, while
at the same time they ride to church in
rich barouches, with driver and foot
men, maid servants at home shaving to
prepare meals for their employers.
.'We will recommend the Fair closing
Sunday" said Powderly, when these
people give their employees day Of
rest that day."
The general assembly also couldn't
swallow the w. c. 7. U. request of an
Endorsement that the sale Of liquors be
suppressed and saloons shut down on
| fair grounds. Officers of the assembly
contend that it was in the jurisdiction
of fair managers, and the Knights Of
Labor had more than they could attend
| to taking care of business relating to
the best interests of the order, rather
than to prolongate their noses extend
ing them into other peoples affairs.
The first business tefore the Assem-
| bly, was the resolutions presented by
the World W. C. T. U. The first and
second resolutions were at once agreed
to, the first being a demand for equal
pay for equal work to women, and for
woman suffrage; the second declaring
in favor of the same standard of purity
| for men and women. The third, de.
manding the closing of the Worlds
Fair on Sundays, was disagreed to, the
knights declaring themselves in favor
of having the fair open on Sunday for
the education of the masses, provided
that no one employed at the fair shall
work more than six days per week.
The fourth resolution was for the
prevention of the sale of liquor on the
Worlds fair grounds, and the knights
declined to endorse this, The last reso-
luton was also introduced. asking the
Endorsement of petition to prohibit
the sale of alcohol and opium and other
narcotics, and to raise the standard Of
law everywhere to that OF Christian
morals. This was referred to com.
mittee to prepare an answer in conson.
ance with the wishes of the general az
sembly.

DOUBLE MURDER.
A Salvation Army Convert Shoots
a Captain.
And Then Kills Herself-A Woman In Love
With Woman.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 16-The muster
Of the Northwestern division of the
salvation amy, at Omaha, to meet La
Marechale Booth -Clibborn, of France,
has terminated in tragedy, sad, sud-
den and inexplicable. While yet the
bell of the army's headquarters in
Omaha tolled curfew.like the requiem
for dead Sunday, and the soldiers
were filing slowly out of the barracks,
the sound of a pistol shot rang out above
the notes of the bell, and with a
groan one of the army's captains fell
to the pavement, blood gushing from
her mouth and nostrils. Her body had
not yet lodged on the sidewalk when
a second report from the pistol was
heard, and private reeled from the
ranks: and staggering blindly step or
two, fell dead in the gutter, her soul
winging away amid the cloud of smoke
from her own istol
1t was just after 6 o'clock in the
evening, and the army's forces had
gathered at the barracks for the pur-
pose of making its usual parade prior
to services. The presence in Omaha of
the official heads of the army in France
and America La Marechale Booth Glib
born and her brother, Commissioner
Ballington Booth, had drawn hither all
the forces of this division, which in
cludes Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas
and Nebraska. For four days the army
has held daily and nightly demonstra.
tions, and the work was seemingly
meeting with great success.
The real motive for the fearful double
crime is not SO clear as it might be, but
the indications point to rather queer
combination of jealousy and semi-re.
ligious frenzy. However obscure may
be the motive that prompted the deed,
its results stand out only too plainly,
for the body Of Nette Biedler, the mur.
deress and suicide, rests on a marble
slab at the city morgue, and her victim,
Captain Hattie Smith. of the Salvation
band at Oskaloosa, Ia, is awaiting in
untold agony the final extinguishment
of the vital spark at her temporary
boarding place on Davenport street
A reporter called last evening at the
residence of W. w. Biedler, the father
of the dead girl, at "a North Main
street, Council Bluffs. A younger sis
ter stated that Nettie and Capt. Smith
had been fast friends and that her sis
ter was in love with the captain for a
long time, and has been in the habit of
attending the Salvation Army meetings
for the purpose of meeting the captain
and the other girls. She left Saturday
afternoon, directly after dinner, stating
that she was going to Omaha to see the
Salvation army celebration, and il was
supposed she went alone. She had no
revolver, so far as her sister knew, nor
had any troble arisen between the two
girls which might account for the fear
full deed. Until the sister heard of the
tragedy she supposed they were as good
friends as ever.
