In addition, placed at the disposal OF
Of Major General Thomas H.. Ruger,
commanding the eastern department of
cruiser Dolphin, two 4-inch and six
smaller guns; about $50 men. The Dol
phin had on board General Ruger and
staff, and lay off Governors island, pre-
pared to steam down and meet the ST.
Louis as soon as the latter was sig
nailed in the lower bay.
At the American line pier were sta
toned four troops Of the Sixth cavalry,
United States army, and a detachment
of the naval reserve. The former were
detailed to escort the distinguished Wis
itor up Broadway to the Waldorf hotel,
and the latter, acting asa guard of
honor at the dock, which was appropri-
ately decorated for the occasion, the
United States flag and the yellow
standard of China with its black dra-
gon predominating.
LII WAS NOT SPRY.
1t was originally intended to take Lii
Hung Chang off the St. Louis at Quar-
antine and convey him to some pier up
town and nearer the Waldorf than the
American Line pier. but the Chinese
minister represented to General Ruger
that the age of the Chinese statesman
precluded any such feat of strength and
agility as clamboring from the St.
Louis to the Dolphin, and for this rea-
son the program was abandoned. On
board the Dolphin with General Ruger
were the Chinese minister Yang and
suite. the Chinese consul. a few spec
tally invited guests, and a representa-
tive of the Associated Press. Also how
ering about the bay was a fleet Of sail
and steam yachts. excursion boats and
tugs loaded with passengers. who were
probably more interested in seeing the
ships of the White squadron fire their
81 guns salutes than in witnessing the
arrival in American waters OF the Chi
nese envoy.

CHOYNISKI'S FOUR ROUNDS.
Knocks Out the Missouri Giant With
Perfect Ease.

San Francisco, Aug. 2S.-Big Joe Nc
Auliffe was knocked out in the fourth
round tonight by Joe Choyniski in
what was ito have been a 1O-round oon-
test. Choyniski assumed the aggressive
from the start and hit McAulife when
and where he plased. The Missouri
giant was completely outmatched and
was a plaything in C%hoyniski's hands.
Little Joe played on big Joe's wind
with the left and on the Jaw with his
right and when the giant came up for
a fourth round was %perceptlbly winded.
In this round Choyniski went at the man
like a demon. His first poke in the stom-
ach with a left and jab in the face with
the right. soon made McAuliffe grog-
gy. Finally in the middle of the round,
Choyniski swung a right with terrific
force. 1t landed on McAuliffe's jaw,
and the fight was over. Choyniski was
unpublished.

dred and so squaw men and 300 full
blooded Indians and half breeds had a
pitched battle in the streets of Wewoka

Shortly afterwards the crews of all

CROWDS GATHER.
Shortly after the announcement at 9
O'Clock that the St. Louis was sighted
east Of Fire Island. throngs of people
travelled across the ferries or by other
routes to Fort Wadsworth, Fort Hamil-
ton and Quarantine, Tompkinsville
and other points from which the .Ariv-
al and greeting of the distinguished
guest of the nation could be witnessed
to the best advantage.
Other crowds flocked to the Battery
and still others stationed themselves at
an early hour in the vicinity OF the
American line dock where the traveller
was to land. 1t is doubtful if New York
ever presented a more brilliant sight
than 1t did this morning, for. anchored
where in stately strength, we're II of the

A hearty welcome was given them and
the wagons at the little depot We're dec
grated fancifully with flags and. home
made banners displaying Photographs
Of the candidate. Bryan spoke in the
open air to several thousand country
people assembled for a farmers picnic.
After excusing his husky voice Bryan
said.
This is a very unusual spectacle. |
have seen immense audiences in cities.
but this is the largest audience | have
ever seer assembled in the midst of an
agricultural country. | want to read
you an extract from a speech made by
John G. Carlisle in 1873, and | wan
you TO mark the political philosophy
therein set forth. He was speaking on
an amendment of the Bland act and
ne used these words: If the execution
of this measure could be entrusted to
a public officer whose opinions on the
subject We're in accord with those of
the great majority of the American
people, and whose sympathies We're
with the struggling masses who pro-
duce wealth and pay the taxes of the
country, rather than with the idle hold
ers OF idle capital, die provision al
luded to would be of little consequence
instead of the minimum amount allow
ed by the amendment. But situated as
we are we all knew, or at best we all
have reason to believe that not a dol
lar beyond the minimum mou will
be coined, and consequently the process
of getting this money into circulation
will be to slow to afford a full measure
of relief which the people now demand
and need
John G. Carlisle divided society into
two classes. On one side ne put the idle
holders of idle capital, and on the 9TH
er the struggling masses, who produce
w.2ith and pay the taxes of the coun-
try. If a division existed then it exists
today. John G. Carlisle said a public
olltSi, SNoIH " Ills utN, "OtIu Dt
controlled in his official condu,. by his
sympathies, and if his sympathies were
with the idle holders of idle capital he
would coin as little money as possible.
whereas if his sympathies were with
the struggling masses, he would coin
as much as the law would permit him.
My friends, the issue today is between
the idle holders of idle money and the
struggling masses who produce the
wealth and pay the taxes of the coun-
try"
Bryan closed with:
IF foreign nations can force a pol
icy upon the American people they will
want to enforce a policy upon the
American people. they will want to en-
force their system of government
which is the only system they can
maintain. a monarchial system which
maintains itself by standing armies.
Even now when We speak out against
unjust legislation they say we are dis
turbers of the public peace and a men
ace 10 law and order. Do you mean to
say that the farmers gathered here and
She iabOrers cOngregated in our cities
are enemies to country? No, they
have earned the epithets of our oppo-
nents.not because they menace law and
order. but because they say. thou shalt
not seal, shall apply to a great cor
poration as well as to the burglar and
h~ighwayman."

FOUR ARE DEAD.
Bloody Dead of a Crazy Mother al
Kansas City,

Kansas City. Aug. 2S.-Neighbors
who this afternoon broke into the
home of c. w. Green, travelling passen-
ger agent Of the Big Four railway,
found the three children, two boys
aged, respectively. l3 and 6 years, and a
| girl aged .. lying dead in bed. They
had been shot and instantly killed as
Jhey slept. In another part of the
house. Mrs. Green, also dead. lay upon
the floor. The woman, supposedly,
while temporarily insane, had appar-
emily first killed her children, then dis
patched herself with a revolver.
None of the n%eislhbors had seen any
Of the Green family since Wednesday.
On Wednesday night between l and 2
O'Clock. some of them recalled, they
had heard shots coming from the direc-
ton Of the Green house.
No particular attention had been
paid to the matter. This forenoon.
Clark. a neighbor, called at the house,
and finding no sign Of life, opened a
window and began IN investigation.
Nothing on the first floor indicated
anything was wrong, and he rent up
stairs. There in their bed lay the three
children. Each bore a bullet hole in
the head. The bed clothes were hardly
unused, showing the children to have
died without a Struggle.

body of Mrs. Green stretched across the
threshold of her own bedroom. A re-
vOlver lay at her side. She was dressed
In a nightgown and had apparently be-
come suddenly crazy in the night, risen
and committed the terrible crime.
Mrs. Green was SO years old. Mr..
Green. who is travelling passenger
agent for this territory for the Big
Four railroad, left the city a week ago
last Tuesday for a trip to Salt Lake
City, with Mr.. Lynch, assistant passen-
ger agent of that road.
Both have well-to-do relatives In the
east. Green came to Kansas City from
Fort Wayne, Ind. in 1895, and for a
time was travelling passenger agent for
the Wabash. with a territory in Kan
sas and Colorado. His sister married
James Smith. formerly trafic manager
Of the Wabash. Mrs. Green recently re-
turned from a trip east. where she went
to bury a sister. She Is described by
the neighbors as a very excitable wo-
man. and the death Of her sister, 1t is
believed preyed upon her mind.
Green Is supposed to be in Denver but
kilograms TO that city have 80 far failed
to locate him.
