Circular to Pensioners Charged to
a Silver Man.
TOPEKA, Kan. August 5.-This is pen
sion day and checks for several hundred
thousand dollars are being paid out this
week by United States Commissioner Click
The following circular was distributed
among the old soldiers Of Topeka and
Shawnee county, who this morning visited
the United States pension office to get their
quarterly allowance from the government:
Comrades: Halt. You are entitled to
gold in payment of your checks. Demand
it. Do not accept deprecated currency"
The pensioners are paid by checks, which
are cashed at the Topeka banks. 1t is
claimed the circular was prepared by a BIZ
metallist. who wants to show that there
is not enough gold in the banks to pay the
pensioners alone, aside from doing the
other business of the country.
1t has also been suggested that this may
be part of the Sovereign boycott of ma
tional bank notes. 1t is not known who
distributed the circular.

years of age. and Timothy F. Sweeny,
a young machinist employed in the same

storm came from the west and swept over
the river with great fury. The first squall
caught the sailboat off Grass Island, as the
men were putting for shore. In twinkle
1t was capsized and the men were seen
struggling in the water. The waves were
running high, and both men made desper-
ate efforts to swim to the island. The.
swift current of the river drew them to-
ward the American rapids. but still they
fought for life. They were sucked into
falls. Butler was married. The bodies, If
lodged in the rocks under the American

Gals Made at Shanghai.
SHANGHAI, August Sat a crowded
meeting today of the European residents of
this city speeches condemning the action
of the Chinese authorities in the case OF
the massacre of missionaries at Whai-Han,
near Ku Cheng. on Thursday last, were
made, and a resolution was adopted to ap-
peal directly to the European governments
against the outrage.
The resolution also referred to the in
adequate manner in which China has dealt
with the perpetrators of former outrages.
lister DENLY and Consul General Jernigan
that no Americans were injured in the at
tack by the Chinese mob upon the missions
near Ku Cheng relieves the Navy Depart
ment from the necessity Of ordering Ameri-
can naval forces to the scene of trouble,
although this incident will undoubtedly
form the subject of another demand upon
the Chinese government for reparation anu
indemnity for the outrage upon the prop
erty rights of the American missionaries.
The nearest American naval vessel Is the
Detroit, which arrived at Shanghai Satur-
day, but she could not get within hundreds
of miles Of ku Cheng, and the only manner
in which her force could operate would be
by means of armed launches.
This is most perilous method of cam
paigning under such conditions as exist in
interior China, and while Acting Secretary
McAdoo is willing to give the order if re-
quested to do so by the State Department
it would be useless sacrifice of the lives
of our seamen, and they are glad to know
that the State Department does not regard
sucn a move as necessary at present.
