TO suit each mans pleasure, and baseball
and bowling and shooting and so on
quickly found its deFotees.

MIR. DAVIS HIT.

He expressed in happy manner his great
respect for the Unde rwFiters Association,
after hearing the extended remarks made
by Commissioners Truesdeu and Powell,
and emphasized the fact that 1T was
mightier than the press for it had sue
eeeded i'll getting the Commissioners TO
give more information in one half hour
than the combined local press had been
able to secnre in the past three months.
He added still further that Commissioner
Ross did not come, because he expressed
the fear that planked shad would loosen
his tongue, and thus cause him to break
the iron rule" The remarks or Mr. Davis
were heartily enjoyed by the assenblage
and by none more than the Commissions rs
present.
To the tune of Aud Lang syue" the
party arose and returning to the steamer

CLASS B RIDERS SAFE.
No More Suspensions will be Made
by the Racing Board at
Present.

ST. Louis, Mo-, June 13.-Ever since
John S. Johnson, the crack bicyclist, was
declared a professional by the national
racing board of the League of American
Wheelmen, rumors have been given wide
circulation to the effect that Sanger,
Titus, Zeigler, Cabanne and other class
b men were being investigated and
would be dealt with in a similar man
ner. This has caused much uneasiness
among bicyclists who feared that they
might suffer the fate Of Johnson. 70 re-
lieve this suspense a bulletin has been is
sued by the national racing board of
which the following is part:
To relieve racing men Of unjust suspicious
of their status. caused by unauthorized
announcements of the proceedings OF the
racing board, it may be stated that the III
variable intent of the board is to fully en-
force the rules and discipline of all riders
who, by violation of the rules, render them
selves liable to penalty.
The fact that no penalization of class
8 men appears i'll this weeks bulletin
is evidence that the board has so far
no grounds for disciplining any of them.

bration of the fiftieth anniversary of the

eight in number, arranged in a half circle,
the center of the group being the main
building five stories in height and sur
mounted by a dome whose apex is 200
feet above the ground. The commemOra-
tive exercises which were inaugurated
this morning will continue three days.

guests who have responded to the invi-
tations to participate are twenty-five arch
bishops and bishops of the United States
and Canada. over 200 priests and numer-
ious delegations of alumni and other
friends of the institution. The exercises
of the day were commenced with the

at 8 o'clock this morning by Archbishop
Elder of Cincinnati. The sermon was
delivered by Archbishop Ireland of st.
Paul. The afternoon was devoted to an
inspection of the various courses and de-
partments of the university and this
evening the exercises of the alumni will
be held in Washington hall.

DETECTIVES FALL OUT.
Ex-Chief of Police of ST. Louis Kills
His Partner at Los An
geles, Cal.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 1.-THE shoot
ing of Detective A. B. Lawson by +. 3.
Kinnet, his former empIoye, who was
once connected with the st. Louis police
force, was the result Of mutual distrust
and dislike Kinnet said Lawson owed
him wages, but Lawson's books show no
debt to Kinnet. For several days Kin
net had said to acquaintances he would
kill Lawson if part of the reward offered
for the arrest of Train Robbers Kid
Thompson and Albert Johnson was not
paid him. Kinnet went to Lawson's Of
fee late yesterday afternoon. Three min
utes later three shots were fired by Kin
net and Lawson was dead on the floor.
Kinnet's wife died a week ago. Since
then he has been acting peculiarly. The
defense will be insanity.

that Ferdinand B. Kinnet had killed
man in Los Angeles, Cal, was received
in st. Louis, his former home, with dis
may and regret. Although Kinnet is best
known here to the people of the present
day through his connection with the po-
lice department, his social record and
standing before that outrank any subse-
quent career. He is the second son of
Col Ferdinand Kinnet, one of the oldest
French families here. During the war
Ferd. served with great distinction in
the navy with Raphael Semmes on the

THREE WERE LYNCHED.
Florida VigiIants Have Killed Four
teen Colored Men in as
Many Months.

Live Oak, Fla, June 11.-Three more
negroes have been done to death by La
fayette county citizens for assault upon
a white woman. The press dispatches
reported that one negro, Bill Collins had
been lynched, but reliable information just
received makes it certain that the lynch
ers claimed three victims. The woman
upon whom the outrage was attempted
was Miss jeanette Allen. IS years old.
A negro whom she recognized as Bill
Collins, one of her fathers employees,
threatened her with death if she made u
noise, but Miss Allen gave scream
which alarmed the household and caused
the negro to flee.
The negro was chased all Friday and
about nightfall was captured Collins
was identified by Miss Allen, but while
preparations were being made to- lynch
him he escaped. All day Saturday and
Saturday night the negro was pursued.
The chase led through the phosphate re-
gion where negroes are numerous, and
two of Collins friends attempted to con-
ceal him. These two negroes were shot
by the pursuers and their bodies were
placed on the railroad track, where they
were cut to pieces by passing trains. The
mangled remains of these two negroes
We're discovered Sunday morning. Sew
eral trains had passed over the bodies ana
Identification was impossible.
Collins, the assailant of Miss Allen,
was recaptured by the pursuers early Sun
day morning. He was taken to the scene
Of the attempted outrage and notices sent
out for people to gather to aid in lynching
him. A great crowd assembled at noon
Sunday. He was taken to the banks of
the Suwannee river. There the negro
was hanged and the body riddled with
bullets. The corpse was then cut down,
weighted with stones and thrown into the
river.
In eighteen months fourteen negroes
have been put to death in Lafayette coun-
ty for assaults upon white women. In
November last young lady was assault
ed. For this crime eight negroes were
killed in the course Of a few months. In
May Miss Armstrong was assaulted and
murdered, for which three negroes were
put to death. These with the three
killed for the assault on Miss Allen make
fourteen.

DEBS FINDS HIMSELF.
Labor Leader Turns Up After
Giving the Marshal a
Big Scare.

Chicago, Ill, June 12.-The mysteri-
Gus disappearance case of President E.
V. Debs of the American Railway union
petered out today He presented himself
at the United States marshal's office at
II a. N. after having been lost to the au-
thorities since noon yesterday. Mr.. Debs
said that he had gone to sleep at a
friends house and had not awakened I'M
til this morning.
Debs explained his absence by saying
that he was i'll yesterday. He went to
the office of friend in the afternoon and
fell asleep, he said, not awaking until Z
o'clock today. Aside from a bad head
ache, he seemed to be in good health when
he arrived at the marshals office. He
deeply regretted, he said. that he had
failed to keep his. appointment with the
deputy marshal who was to have taken
him to Jail last night and was much sur
prised to hear of the search that had
been made for him. Debs was emphatic
in his denial of the story that his tardy
surrender was the result Of a too free in
diligence in liquor. He was kept in the
mershafs Office during the afternoon, ar
rangements being made to take him to
Woodstock at 3 o.. m in charge OF a dep
uty marshal.
Yesterday was the day appointed for
the officers of the American Railroad
union who had been committed for con-
tempt of court by Judge Woods to put in
an appearance and go TO jail. All the
men had been out on bail pending an ar
gument for writ of habeas corpus be-
fore the Supreme court OF the United
States. The petition was denied in a de-
cision handed down about ten days ago
and the marshal was notified to carry out
the decision of the lower court.
All the others put in an appearance
yesterday morning, President Debs reach
ing the office about noon. They were all
told to get ready and report at the mar
shal's office at o'clock in readiness to
take the 5 o'clock train on the North
Western to their destination. All ex-
cept Debs were promptly on hand and
were escorted to the train by Deputy
Marshals Logan, Curran, Clarke and
Bentley. It was expected that they would
find Debs awaiting them at the North
Western depot but in that they were dis
appointed The others. in charge of
Deputies Logan and Curran, started for
the Jail at Woodstock. expecting to ar
rive there about $50 o'clock.
Debs was last seen in a saloon, so
squad of deputy marshals put N the night
searching wine-rooms and Turkish baths,
but without success. The kidnapping
theory was suggested, but Marshal Ar
mold took little stock in it. What worried
the marshal was whether DebS surren-
dering himself at noon cancelled the $40,
900 bonds, or whether the bail held dur
ing the parole the marshal had given the
labor leader

MANITOBA REFUSES.
Declines to Permit the Re-establish-
ment of the Separate School
System.

Winnipeg, Man, June 13.-Manitoba
will today reply in the negative to the de-
mand of the Ottawa government that sep
arate schools be re-established in the
province as commanded in the order pre-
scented to the Legislature last April. This
reply will be presented to the Legislature
this afternoon.
1t is held that any action of the Par
lament of Canada looking to the restora-
ton of Roman Catholic privileges must,
to be of real and substantial benefit, be
supplemented by the voluntary action of
the provincial Legislature.
The reply will express willingness to
reimburse Catholics if any injustice has
been done in the matter of private church
funds invested.

BEHRING SEA BILL.
What it will Enable the British Govern
lnent to DO.

London. June 12.-The Behring sea bill,
which was introduced in the House of
Commons on Monday last by Sir Edward
Gray, parliamentary secretary for the
foreign office, and which passed its first
reading upon that occasion, replaces the
act of 1883, which expires in July and
will enable the government to carry out it's
agreement with Russia. 1t empowers the
government by order in council to pro-
hibit seal catching. The act remains in
force until January 1898. In addition
to the Behring sea award in regard to
seizure, it empowers the officers Of for
eign states which are parties to the
agreement to seize British ships and
equipment when they violate the order.
British officers have the same powers i'll
regard to foreign ships. An impression
prevails here that Canada will vigorously
oppose the passage of the new act.

BLACK FLAGS REBEL.
Chinese Warriors will Resist Jap
anese Occupancy of y EsE
FOrmOSa.

London, June ia special dispatch
from Shanghai says that remnant Of
the famous Black Flags is cntrenched at
Chung Wa, Island of Formosa, and
these Chinese warriors are expected to
make a determined stand against the
Japanese who are taking possession of
that island according to the terms of
the treaty of peace. The dispatch also
says that British gunboat has been or
dered to the Yang tse-K iang. The dis
patch of the British gUnboat to the

hold the officials of Cheng-te responsible
for a part of the outrages against the
foreign missions there.
