THE EMPEROR NAY Be DEAD
China's Ruler Said to Have Been
Poisoned September q.
MANY UGLY STORIES AFL0AT.
Ex-Ruler Said to Have Survived His Alb
dlcati0n but . Short Time-British end
Russians Playing an Exciting Game
for the Spells.

LONDON. Sept a6.-The Daily Tele-
graphs Hong Kong correspondent,
writing Sunday, says: although
there is no positive confirmation, all
the evidence tends to the conviction
that the emperor is dead.
"A private dispatch says that he
died on September 81, directly he is
sued the edict giving the dowager the
regency. Nobody doubts that Yang
and Chang Yen Hoon, who was min
lister at Washington in 1895, are both
innocent of the charge Of poisoning
the emperor"
The Times Shanghai correspondent
telegraphs: "On the arrival of Rag
Yu Wei at WI Sung he was placed for
safety on board the steamer Ballarat,
which sails for Hong Kong to-day. In
the course of an interview he informed
me that he left Pekin on Tuesday, in
compliance with a secret message from
the emperor warning him of his dan
ger, and urging him to obtain assist
ance from those interested in the
country's welfare.
He further stated that recent events
were entirely due to the action of the
Manchu party, headed by the dowager
empire IS and Viceroy Yung Lu, and in
Guiding all the high Manchu officials.
The latter were displeased by the en-
peror's leaning toward the reform
party and decided to restore the re-
gency of the dowager. The dowager
empress party is bound by an under
standing with the Russians whereby
the latter, in consideration of the
support of the Russian interests, I'M
dertake to preserve Manchuria as tho
seat of the dynasty and to maintain
Manchu rule in China.
Kang Yu Wei urges that England
now has an opportunity to intervene
and restore the emperor to the throne,
by doing which, he asserts, she will
earn the gratitude of the Chinese
people.
A special dispatch from Shanghai
says that Kang Yu Wei's brother has
been arrested in Pekin and condemned
to death. The dispatch also says that
Sir Claude Macdonald, the British
minister, gave instructions that Kang
Yu Wei should be protected from
arrest.
The British consulate holds his bag
gage and documents referring to state
secrets. The Russians are incensed at
the latter fact, and it is reported that
Russia has offered the dowager en-
press the services of 10, 900 troops from
Port Arthur to keep order in Pekin if
necessary.
It is stated that the British fleet in
Chinese waters has been divided be-
tween Ia Ku and Shan Hal Kwan, un.
der orders to intercept Russian trans
ports in the event of an attempt tc
land troops.

THREE SUSPECTS ARRESTED
Believed to Be the Missouri Pacific
Train Robbers.
WERE CAUGHT IN ST. JOSEPH
HaA eoorohod Money I'm Their Possession
Suspects Are james Morgan, John
Ryan and James McAlear-They An
swer Description Of the Hghwaymen.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. Sept. S6.-Ihe pO-
lice arrested three men last night who
are believed to have been implicated
In the robbery of the Missouri Pacific
passenger train at the Belt line cross
ing, near Kansas City. last Friday
night. The men gave their names =
James Morgan, John Ryan and James
McAlear. Suspicion was first attracted
to them by Morgan and Ryan going
from place to place and getting silver
money changed into paper. They
had over s40o in silver in their pos
session and their evident object
was to change this unwieldy amount
into bills, which would be more easily
carried. Some of the bills they had
were slightly burned, and when the
attention of Police Officer NJ. X. Kinne-
man was called to the actions of the
strangers, he Swallowed them, and
finally. at $50 o'clock, placed them
under arrest. The men were taken to
central station and searched. Nc
Aleer had S453. IS, Morgan had Sl91 in
bills and silver, while Ryan had $3.50.
They said they were stopping at the
Gait house.
None of the men would talk. All of
them seemed nervous, but maintained
a stubborn silence. The men are
strangers to the st. Joseph police.
McAlear is about 25 years old, smooth
shaven. weighs l55 pounds and was
dressed in a rough suit of clothes.
Morgan is SO years old. feet 1Oinches
tall and weighs $50 pounds. He wore
black suit, a black SLOUGH hat and is
not bad looking fellow Ryan is 81
years old, has mnstache of three
weeks growth, is dark complexioned
and weighs LAO pounds. The police are
searching for a fourth member of the
gang who is known to have come to
st. Joseph with the three men now I'M
der arrest.
The police feel confident that they
have caught the right men, the
scorched money being taken as strong
evidence of their guilt, while the fact
that-they were changing the silver
money into paper SO that it could
more easily be handled, is also looked
upon with suspicion by the officers.
As soon as the men We're behind the
bars telegram was sent to the Kan
sas City authorities notifying them of
the arrest of the men, and word was
received that warrants would be is
sued for the men and sent here on a
morning train with officers to bring
tie men back at once.

The Pacific Express company de-
clares it lost nothing except smashed

Kennedy is the individual who has
been charged with a number of train
robberies, and who is now out on bond
to answer to the charge of robbing and
numbering Miss Emma Schumacher,
keeper of grocery.
Jim Redmond is the individual sup
posed to have been Kennedy's pal in
the Schumacher case. Redmond
escaped, joined Roosevelt's rough rid
ers, and went to Cuba. After his re-
turn an attempt was made to capture
him. but the police moved so slowly
that he got wind of it, and again
escaped.
Kennedy has bobbed up with his
usual alibi. He had been at his
fathers house all night, he said, and
had witnesses to prove it. Alibis are
easily obtained in the vicinity of Ken
nedy's home, ic..a train robbing is
an honored profession.
A singular feature of the.case is that
none of the robbers were injured by
the explosion, which utterly demol-
ished the express car. They were less
than fifty feet away. Another singu.
lar feature is that during the many
months of John Kennedy's confine-
ment in the county Jail there was not
q single train robbery here. and with
in two weeks of his release a train
was robbed within a few miles of his
home. Kennedy has not been ar
rested, and probably will not be.
There is no evidence against him that
would stick in any court.
