NEW JESSE JAMES GANG
The Son of the Old Man Arrested
for Train Robbery.
POLICE ARE VERY RETICENT
Jesse Junior. Together With One OF His
Fathers Old Pals. Believed to Have
Participated in Missouri's Recent
Train Hold-Ups.

Kansas City. Oct. 11.-Jesse James
jr, son of the notorious bandit, Jesse
James. Missouri's pioneer train robber
was taken from his cigar stand in the
county court house by the police this
evening and is being secreted by the
police authorities. Two other men,
whose names are not known and whom
the police absolutely refuse to talk
about, were arrested soon after the po-
lice took young James into custody.
Jesse James. jr.. has been under the
surveillance of the police since the last
of the many train robberies in the out
skirts of Kansas City. This was the
robbery OF a Missouri Pacific express
near Leeds on Sept. "a. William Lowe.
a Santa Fe switchman. has been in Gus
tody since five days after the holdup.
Lowe is a native of the Crackerneck
district, just east of this city, which
was made notorious as the hiding place
of the first James gang. When close
pressed the James boys, the Youngers,
the Ryans and others of the old gang
always found shelter in the Cracker
neck.
John Kennedy. the locomotive engi-
neer. who has been twice arrested in
connection with the more recent train
robberies in jackson county, Is also a
native of the Crackerneck. Kennedy
and Lowe and young Jesse James are
friends. and though young James has
always borne good reputation, he
has lately been under surveillance with
the others. The police maintain that
train robbing will not be suppressed in
Jackson county until there has been a
purification of the Crackerneck district
and all their work since the last rob-
berry seems to have been in this direc-
tion.
Late tonight IL became known that
the police also have i'm custody Bill
Ryan. one of the most notorious of the
old James gang. Ryan. like the 9TH
ers, was reared in the Crackerneck dis
trict. IL was not generally known that
Bill Ryan was in the vicinity of Kan
sas City at the time of the robbery or
since. The police do not state where
Ryan was arrested, but he is reported
to have been caught in Oklahoma.
Bill Ryan II about 81 years OF age.
In 1881 he was arrested i'm Tennessee,
brought To Jackson county and con-
victed here Of completely in the robbery
of a Chicago & Alton train at Glen
dale. He was sentenced to 25 years
Imprisonment. but soon after his incar-
ceration the robbers friends i'm Jack
son county began working TO secure
his release. pleading that he was a
broken down man and could live but
a few years. Finally. in 1883. these rep
had the effect of inducing
Governor Morehouse to pardon Ryan
and restore him to citizenship.
Ryan at once came back to Kansas
City, but afterwards he went to the
Pacific coast and about a year ago he
was reported to be In japan.

ExTRADlTION OF MRS. BOTKIN.
Her Lawyers Making Fight ON Every
Technicality.

San Francisco. Oct. 1.-THE warrant
for the extradition of Mrs. Cordelia
Botkin for the murder OF Mrs. John p.
Dunning and her sister. Mrs. Joshua P.
Dean. at Dover. Del. was olice i'm Chief
Of Police Lees hands to-day. To pre-
vent the immediate eNtradition of the
accused woman. her attorneys went be-
fore Judge Hawley OF the United States
district court TO apply for a writ OF
habeas corpus. Judge Hawley refused
to entertain the plea, saying that too
much time was being wasted in frv-
olous tactics. and suggested that the
United States circuit court of appeals
be petitioned. thus avoiding long de-
lays. The Botkin attorneys then ap-
pealed TO Judge Cook. who Immediately
issued the desired papers. The new writ
was directed to Detective McNev ~
Delaware. This was done in order TO
prevent Chief OF Police Lees turning
the prisoner over TO the Eastern detec-
tive. The new writ was made return
able on Monday. when a number of 9TH
er judges will probably sit with Judge
Hawley.
Mrs. Botkin was ordered into the Gus
tody of Chief OF Police Lees. Tho attor-
neys for Mrs. Botkin now announce
that they will not take the case to the
supreme court until every other ave-
nue. has been tried.

COSTLY HOTEL BURNED
It Was to Have Been One of the
Handsomest in the Country.
OF INCeNOIARY ORIGIN
The Northern Pacific Land Company at
Tacoma Has Recently Lost Several
Costly structures-The Hydrant
Was Plugged

Tacoma, Oct. 1.-THE Tourist hotel.
under construction by the Northern
Pacific Land company. burned tonight
There had been expended on the struc-
ture up to date $500. 900, upon which
there Is no insurance. II was the pur-
pose OF the land company to make this
one OF the finest hotels in the country,
and IL would have cost complete over
N.O00.000. The hotel commands one OF
the finest sites in the city, overlooking
Puget sound.
On Sept. 20 the exposition building
burned, with a loss OF 100000: Oct. .
the woolen mills burned, with a loss of
$4,000. These. as well as the hotel,
were erected and fostered by the land
company. The coincidence of their de-
struction on such closely allied dates
has caused much comment, and the fire
Is believed to be the work of an incen-
diary. The land company has many
friends and few enemies. and the work
Is believed to be that of an insane per-
son.
During the fire tonight w. F. Fem
more OF Hook and Ladder No. 5 was
thrown from the ladder and two men
fell upon him. He Is internally injured
and may not live
The fire occurred In the building ma
terial carefully stored in the interior
and when the first engine arrived IL is
asserted by onlookers that the hydrant
was plugged with earth. officials Of the
land company say tonight the building
cost as II stood $4,000 and now place
the loss at 100000. IL will require an
expert examination to ascertain wheth-
er the walls can be used again or not.

OUR TRADE WITH CHINA.
IL Is Rapidly Increasing and Assuming
Enormous Proportions.

Washington, Oct. 11.-Special reports
from United States Consul Johnson at
Annoy and Consul Fowler at Chefoo.
show an enormous increase OF the for
eign trade Of China, and point out the
great value Of that part OF IL originat-
ing in the United States. Last year
the volume of trade exceeded that for
1896 by 32,000.000 taels, a tael being
reckoned at 1873 cents. The value of
the United States trade in China rep
resented Is per cent of the total. being
more than double the whole German
trade and second only to Great Britain.
AS Consul Fowler puts IL: THE value
of United States exports to China is
greater than that of all continental Eu-
rope, and Russia, European and As
iatic." His figures show that last year
this excess amounted to s330. .32l. But
these figures, he says. are entirely too
small, for owing to the Chinese method
of keeping treasury statistics. a large
proportion Of the goods coming from
the United states are entered as from
other countries. Consul johnson says
that Kerosene no longer holds first
place in the exports from the United
States TO China. Cotton goods Is the
most valuable line of trade and 40 per
cent OF the exports of the cotton from
the United States went TO China last
year, the value being over s. .000, 900.

with five witnesses for the state exam

Percy Van Horne. a newspaper re-
