NON-UNlON PLASTERER SHOT
Police Respond to Riot Call and Arc
Fired On by Strikers-Ring-
leaders Are Arrested.

ST LOUIS, Sept. 15.-Striking plasterers
precipitated a riot today at De Hodiamont,
at the western limits of the city, In which
William Kane a nonunion worker, was ia
tally wounded and three others seriously
hurt. Mounted police responded to riot
call and were met by fusillade Of bullets
from the strikers. The police replied with
number Of shots and charge on the crowd,
dispensing them and resulting in the arrest
of Nat Brown and Joe Lee, who are thought
to be the ringleaders.
For sometime there has been strike on
among the plasterers of this city and vicin-
ity for higher wages, but until today no
serious trouble has resulted. About a. m.
strikers gathered in considerable force near
Gerry's saloon in De Hodamont to prevent
nonunion men from going to work on some
buildings nearby Derisive and abusive
words led to the throwing of stones and one
striker drew his revolver and fired into the
crowd of nonunion men, This was followed
Immediately by volley from the strikers
and Kane fell fortally wounded. When the
mounted police came they were met by a
volley OF bullets. The strikers fed and Cap
tain McNamee at once called out all the po-
licemen available to chase and capture them.
Reports from the scene of the riot are that
the chase developed into a running fight be-
TWEEN the police and some OF the strikers,
the result cf which is not yet known.

SINKING FUND GETS LITTLE.
Bolln Judgment Fund Will Be Used to Pay
Current Obligations
NEW JAIL TAKES MOST OF THE MONEY
CounciImen Figure Out Where They
Can Dispose of the Cash il Set
Ting Claims that Are Now
Drawing Interest.

While the city council has not yet form
ally and officially decided what to do with
the 49,, 900 settlement money received from
the Boln bondsmen, the members have
practically agreed that the money will not
be put in the sinking fund, but that the
biggest part of 1t shall be used in paying up
the indebtedness incurred by the city in
securing new city Jail quarters.
1t is believed that very nearly $4,000
OF the amount will be needed for this pur-
pose. In the first place, there is owing to
the school board on the purchase price OF
the Dodge school building and site $4,000,
which is drawing interest at per cent.
Then some $1,000 is being put into a stable
and several thousands more have been ex-
pended in transforming the school building
into Jail. The city councilmen believe the
total expense thus incurred will not be much
less than $4,000
The city fathers are also thinking of
spending a good portion of the remaining
$40, 900 in taking up other obligations For
example, number are in favor of using
some 50 900 in paying damages awarded ad-
joining property owners when the Sixteenth
street viaduct was built There are other
claims being pressed forward and altogether,
IL the councilmen's ideas are carried out,
there is likely to be but a small sum, il
any at all, TO put into the sinking fund.
Councilman Stuht is vigorously opposing
this manner of expending the money. He is
in favor OF putting the entire lump sum into
| the sinking fun to pay city obligations as
they fall due. The fact that his ideas of
| the matter are not being followed out has
resulted in his accusations against his fell
| low councilmen. One of the other council
men voices the objections held by the ma
| jority OF the members against disposing Of
| the money thus in this way: There would
be no economy in putting the money in
| the sinking fund. 1t might lie there a long
while without being used, as there is plenty
OF money on hand TO pay city obligations,
! and once in the fund 1t could not be taken
out again. On the other hand, it would
be more businesslike to take up obligations
such as our Jail debt and thus save the
| interest that would be accruing all the
while"
The matter still rests in a committee's
hands and will probably not be disposed OF
until the council resolves itself into a body
to examine into the financial condition OF
the city. This meeting is expected to make
place in the near future,

SWEEPING REFORMS IN CHINA
Edict of the Emperor Cutting on
Abuses Likely to Cause Resent-
ment in OhicIai Circles.

PEKIN, Sept. 15.-Marqus Ito, who is
understood to be visiting China for the pur-
pose Of arranging an offensive and defensive
alliance between China and Japan, arrived
here today and was received at the railroad
station by notabilities specially ordered by
the emperor to welcome the distinguished
visitor.
An edict has been published suspending the
postal operations throughout the empire and
replacing the present system of government
courers. The edict introducing reforms and
cutting down expenditures proves that the
emperors advisers are bent upon a policy
which can only be the result OF a complete
change Of opinion. Most of the Chinese and
the old European residents look upon the
change as being too sweeping and irritating
TO the official classes, but 1t is evident the
emperor has decided to abolish many abuses
and his efforts are welcomed by all the
enlightend Chinese, who, however, counsel
moderation.

Governor Lee took the executive chair that
he has not had these statements from me
and from the banks in which the state funds
are deposited precisely in accordance with
the law, and he has been kind enough on
various occasions to declare his gratlfica-
tion at the way in which the treasurer's
office has been administered. Nothwithstand-
ing we are competitors for the same office
in this campaign, do not believe he would
either personally or on the stump give any
support whatever to the inslnuations Of
some members of the opposition that there
has been anything in my conduct of the
treasurer's office that was not entirely in
accordance with law and equity. I have
sufficient confidence in the manhood of Gov
ernor Lee to rely upon his unwillingness to
make any statements in public different
from those which he so often has mado to
me and to others in private as to the con-
duct Of my office.
~ have never made deposit of a single
dollar of the state funds for any special
length of time. Every deposit is subject to
call at any time. There has never been
day during my administration OF the
treasurers office when every dollar was not
instantly and Immediately available. I
never have either directly or indirectly
loaned a single dollar Of the public funds.
Even II | had been disposed to do So 1t
could not have been done without detec-
ton under a law passed by republican
legislature. I have regularly deposited the
funds In regular banks, as is evidently con-
templated by the law. Therefore, any time
that the opposition desires to make my ad-
ministratlon of the state treasurer's office
an issue in this campaign / am perfectly
| willing to go before the people on that is

THIEVES RAID RAILROADS

the Thcfts.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.--C. A. Mats, Edward
Keefe and L. II. Kurten, officials of the
American Iron and Metal company, one OF
the largest concerns Of its kind in this city,
have been arrested on a charge of larceny.
at the instance Of officials Of the Santa Fe
railroad For several months past many of
the railroads entering Chicago, especially
the Santa Fe company, have been robbed of
hundreds of dollars worth of iron and steel
rails. The rails were picked up all along
the road at night and hauled away in wag-
ons. So frequent became the thefts and SO
extensive the operations of the men
that Special Agent Quinn OF the
Santa Fe took personal charge of the mat
ter with the result that Keefe, Mats and
Kurten were arrested, charged with being
the thieves. Nearly 1000 feet of rails were
found in their place OF business, but they
deny having stolen them and say, they pur-
chased the stuff from a we'll dressed man.
Keefe is a well known politician of Chicago.

SOLDIERS HADPLENTY TO EAT
Sergeant Samuel W. Douglas of the Tenth
Tells Of His Cuban Experience
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS CAUSE SICKNESS
Incessant Rains and Abnormal Heat
DO the Business for the Men
from the North-HOw the
Twenty-SecOnd Fared.

Sergeant Samuel w. Douglas, Tenth
United States cavalry and veteran OF ST.
honey. Las Guasimas and Santiago, is spend
ing few weeks In the city recovering from
tho Cuban fever and visiting the exposi-
tion previous to returning to his regiment
at Montauk Point, L. /. Sergeant Douglas,
who Is colored man, was not affected by
the climate during his stay in Cuba and
was only taken i'll when he had boarded
ship for the return. In speaking Of the
amount of sickness among the soldiers the
sergeant says 1t Is entirely due from the
inevitable privations Of campaign in an
enemys country that no foresight could pos
sibly have averted. The sickness is due,
he said, to neither the scarceness nor the
quality of the rations, but Is largely trace
able to weather conditions. After the reg-
ment landed near Siboney on June 20 camp
was pitched on a neighboring hill so ex-
posed that no fire could be lighted at night.
1t was necessary, therefore, to sleep in the
trenches, drenched either by rain which fell
in generous quantities or by a saturating
dew In the morning the sun rose with
an unhealthy warmth and the ground soon
became in a steaming condition. Sergeant
Douglas speaks Of the rainfall as being ex-
cessively heavy and constant and said that
from June 80 to July every soldier In Cuba
was wet through continuously. AS to the
rations as far as the sergeant's regiment
was concerned there was plenty and to
spare. Hard tack, bacon, sugar, coffee, to-
matoes and potatoes were issued in sufficient
quantities and everybody had plenty to eat
in the nelghborhood OF the Tenth cavalry.
! Alfred Morris Of the Twenty in
fantry was also a witness to the same
stirring scenes and gives a graphic account
OF his experience at El Caney in a letter
| to relatives in this city. THE enemy opened
fire early on July l." he says. land l saw
men of my company fall all around me. l,
together with others, gave the wounded all
the help could and though bullets were
flying about like hail ! escaped without q
| scratch. l was in an open field in front OF

shot nearby and just behind comrade who
was shot through the thigh, the bal
in the latter case striking me on the hee
with sufficient force to throw me off my
feet. The force OF the bullet was so grea
that thought had been kicked by mule
During our stay here the rain has faller

membered. The weather proved too muct
for me and was taken with the fever JUS

for the Southwest boulevard has made
supplemental report TO the Advisory board.
In this report the appraisers decided that
no award OF damages should be given to
property owners whose land is not con-
demned, but is adjoining the boulevard.
This report is legally necessary to fore
stall claims for damages that are already
being put in by property owners who own
land adjoining the route OF the boulevard
