Danger to Foreigners.

TEN TsIN, Oct. 12.-Ten thou
sand Russian troops are posted on
the Corean frontier, facing the Jap
anese force at Hun Chun, nine
miles north of the boundary.
Assaults on foreigners at Pekin
and its environs, which have con-
stantly occurred during the last
ten days, are increasing in fire.
quency and gravity. Foreign resi-
dent are practically at the mercy
Of the mob. Each foreign minister,
thinking to conciliate the govern
ment, leaves his colleagues to
make protests, the result being
plenary indulgence to street row.

An Imnortant Canture.

WASHINGTON, ID. G. Oct. r.
The reported capture Of Che.FoO
by the japanese troops, if the dis
patches announcing should be full
ly confirmed, is regarded by the
Japanese Legation here as an
event of considerable Importance.
Che-Foo is treat port and one
of the most charming places in
Eastern China. 1t is the resort OF
the embcrs of the Diplomatic
Corps in the summer, and, from g
social standpoint, occupies the
same relative position that New
port and Bar Harbor do in tins
country. Its capture would be inn
portant from a military stand
point, as it could be used as base
of supplies for the operations Of
the japanese fleet and army in the
movement toward Pekin. Its cap
ture would permit the Japanese TO
save many miles Of tramping over
the mountains to Pekin.
The report Of the capture of Che
Foo created some surprise in dipio-
matte circles here, owing to the
fact that it is treaty port, and
that damage to the interests Of
foreign residents by the Japanese
attack might, and probably would
cause complications with England,
France, Germany and other cou4-
tries, which Japan at this time
would find it to her interest to
avoid.
The situation of Che-Foo, about
fifty miles only from the great
Chinese arsenal of Wei Hai-Wei,
practically the key to Pekin, rem
ders its capture very important.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
To be Termed an A P. A. Member
Not Libel.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. l2.--FTeG h.
Kicker, a saloonkeeper on Clark
avenue, has applied for a warrant
against Rev. David s. Phelan, ed1-
tor of the Western Waterman, al
leging criminal libel. Mr.. Knapp
produced an affidavit signed by
Kicker before Notary Public Jas
Healy, to the effect that he was
not member of Lodge Is Of the
A. p. A., or was affiliated with any
lodge of the A. p. A. The cause
for making the affidavit was the
publication in Saturdays Western
Waterman ofKicker's name among
an alleged list Of members OF Lodge
No. Is. Mr.. Estep refused the war
rant, saying that the A. p. A. not
being contrary to the statutory
laws, it was therefore not libelOus
to call a man a member when he'll
not. Mr.. Knapp alleges that the
business of Kicker has been ruined
by the spreading of rumors that he
is a member Of the A. p. A. Mr..
Knapp, after leaving Mr.. Estep's
office, called at the Office OF the
Western Waterman, where, he
says, he was told by William Roche
that the list Of Lodge No. Is had
been bought by the paper for 500
and that Kicker's name appeared
on the list. Kicker says II the
proper correction Is not made ne
will sue the paper for damages.

A Nebraska Financial Crash.

KEARNEY, Neb., Oct. l2.-The
Buffalo county National Bank
closed it's doors this morning,
caused by a $4,000 judgment
against the Sando Clothing house,
in which the bank was interested,
and q couple Of directors
demanding their deposits. The
Sands Clothing house closed at
the same time, but no other bus
mess houses have been af-
fectod, so far as known. Following
so closely the failure Of the First
National, the closing Of the bank
today caused great uneasiness.

VERY MUCH TALK
AMONG THE BETTING SPORTS.
A Scheme To Advertise the Show
Business.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, October l2.-The
match between Corbett and Fitz-
simmons was the principal subject
OF gossip last night at all places
where sporting men and those in
terested in boxing are in the habit
of gathering. The general opinion
was the match, whatever sincerity
there was behind it, had the ad-
vertising advantage to be derived
from newspaper gossip prom inent-
ly in view. "Parson" G. f. Davis,
said: "The fight will not take
place in a year-that is certain.
The Florida people cannot bring
the fight off in summer time. They
have to wait until a favorable sea-
son. This means some time with
in winter after next" Asked II he
did not think the whole affair
might be a hippodrome for adver-
Using purposes Mr.. Davis replied,
"No, and I,would not say so If l
did. II l had any views Of that
kind l would keep them to myself.
The public cannot be fooled all the
time. All the newspaper boys are
watching how affairs are going and
they are liable to have some
opinion to express on the subject"
When told that the arrangement
| was for the Florida club to put the
entire SAL, 900 purse into the stake
holders, hand to be divided, fight
| or no fight, Mr. Davis eclared,
"They will never do it," Referee
George Silver said: 81 seriously
doubt if the fight can be pulled off
in Florida. They had so much
trouble in getting away with the
Corbett- fight that it Jocks
very strange to me that this fight
would be arranged for Florida"
Said Jim Hall: "FitZsimmons
does not need to wait year to get
on fight. will meet him in six,
yes eight weeks. l would like to
make the same proposition to him
that he made to CorbetU-that is,
to tight for points. will get 3d.

now expect to commence operating
trains about the middle OF October. The
,rackIayers have reached the Northern
Pacific tracks, and the proper connec-
tion will soon be completed. The report
that the Northern Pacific:was not will
ing we should cross and connect with it's

able traffic arrangement has been made
and we expect TO be delivering and re-
ceiving passengers and freight in a very
short time. 1t has not yet been deter
mined just where the transfer Of passen-
gers will::be made. To make a suitable
and quick connection it may be necee-
sary to make the transfer at some point
west OF Billings.
"In reference TO the report that our
line would be extended on to a connec-
ton with the Great Northern at Great
Falls. ! may say that we have no plans
for any additional lines. As to the dis
tance by this new line from Chicago and
vicinity to the coast, it will be about the
same as the northern lines, but to the
Pacific northwest from all points east Of
Denver and south OF Sioux City the dis
tance will be greatly shortened. We
will then have direct line Of our own
out Of st. LOUIS and Kansas City, and
are confident the lumber and building
material in the northwest will thus find
an opening. and that there will be an
advantageous interchange Of traffic in
that direction. We anticipate much
stock business. and. as everyone knows
this will make a new and direct line to
