Slaughter In China.
Washington. Aug. 5.-The statement
of United States Minister DENLY and
Consul General Jemigen that no AM
ericans were injured in the attack by
the Chinese mob upon the missions at
Ku Cheng. relieves our naval depart
ment from the necessity Of ordering
the American naval forces to the scene
of the trouble. although the incident
will undoubtedly be the subject of an
other demand on the Chinese govern
ment for reparatiun and indemnity for
the outrages upon the property and
rights of American missionaries. The
nearest American ship is the Detroit,
which arrived at Shanghai Saturday,
but the only manner in which her force
could operate would be by means OF
steam launches. armed. This Is a
most perilous method of campaign un-
der such conditions as exist in the in
terror of China, and while Acting Sec
retary McAdoo Is willing to give the
order. II requested to do so by the state
department officials. experienced naval
officers feel that II would be useless

ed to appeal to the European govern
ments against the outrages. The reso-
lutions also referred to the inadequate
manner in which China dealt with the

ment of Their Pensions In Gold.
Topeka. Kan. Aug. 5.-The following
circular was distributed among the old
soldiers of Topeka and Shawnee coun-
ty who visited the United States PEN
sion Office to draw their quarterly al
lowance from the government: Com
rades. halt! You are entitled to gold
in payment OF your checks. Demand
1t. Do not accept deprecated cur
rency."
The pensions are paid by checks,
which are cashed at the Topeka banks.
This circular was evidently prepared
by a bimetalllst who wants to show
that there is not enough gold In the
banks to pay the pensions 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 national banks. 1t is not
known who delivered the circulars.
More than 500 pension checks were
paid by the Bank Of Topeka to-day,
only two men asking for gold. One was
a customer and was given the yellow
metal. The other was somewhat inso-
lent and was told to get out of the
bank

both organizing to-day. and as the
towns are practically under mob law a
deadly conflict is anticipated. The
English speaking miners In Spring

mass meeting and passed a resolution
that no negroes. men. women or in
valids. be allowed to remain inside the
city limits after 10 o'clock tomorrow

the immediate opening of hostilities.
The negroes of Seatonville held a
meeting later and organized for active
service. Bureau county has 800 repeat
ing Winchester rifles stored In the
court house at Princeton for the pro-
lection of citizens, and an effort will
be made to secure these. Should this
fail the men will arm themselves with
shotguns and rifles. and make an ef-
fort to regain their homes and house
hold goods. The negroes also passed
a resolution that they would continue
TO work in Spring Valley until dis
charged by the coal company. AS the
police and sheriff are making no effort
to arrest the rioters the spirit of law

the negroes reported wounded in yes
