There are three different German mis-
sionary societies working in the Kiau-Chau
district, while the American Presbyterian
mission maintains few stations in the
Shantung province. The representatives of
the German missions look also after the
spiritual welfare of the Germans living
there. besides teaching the German Ian

direction are said to be very satisfactory.

Conflict Between State and Federal
Courts in Miners Strike.

Gov. Jones of Arkansas has been inform
ed of a movement to bring into the coal
mining district an armed body of men to
take the places of the strikers He has
given instructions to the state authorities
to summon every able-bodied man in Sc
bastian county, II necessary. to enforce the
injunction of Judge Rowe. prohibiting the
importation of laborers.
All such armed men are to be met at the
state line and placed under arrest, as are
also those who supply the arms. Mine
operators will also be arrested by state
authorities when they attempt to bring
in armed laborers under protection of dep
uty marshals
The injunctions issued by the state and
federal courts are In direct conflict and
the governor regards the situation as criti-
cal. He Is determined that the writ of the
state court shall be carried out, and. if
necessary, will go to the mining district in
person and direct the carrying out of the
courts order, which he believes to be the
only way in which bloodshed can be avert
ed. The strikers are armed, and a san
culinary conflict is said to be Inevitable if
non-union men are imported.

MOLINEUX SOUGHT POISON.
Chemist Says the Prisoner Applied to
Him for Deadly Oxides.

The New York Herald today says the
grand jury may find an Indictment today
against Roland B. Moineux for the murder
of Mrs Adams. A formidable document of
nine typewriter pages has been prepared
by the district attorney, containing several
different counts. The grand jury Will in
dorse this paper when the evidence present.
ed justifies the finding.
Several witnesses We're examined yester-
day, including DR.. E. F. Hitchcock. DR.. D.
B. Potter. Coroner's Physician Weston and
Professor r. A. Witthaus. The stenogra-
piers who were present at the coroner's in
quest read extracts from their notes to tina
grand jury. Many other persons had been
sEbpoenaed, including Miss Agnes Evans
and Miss Rosalie Bergen, who we're for
nerly employed by Thomas Burns, patent
medicine manufacturer. of No. $50 Column
bus avenue. They did not appear before the
coroner as IT was only after the original
Indictment that MolineuX's letter to Burns
came to light.
Assistant District Attorneys Osborne and
Blumenthal. who have charge of the Molin-
eux case, believe that the evidence in their
possession Is now very strong. Another
Ink in the chain of circumstances against
the young man has been furnished by
prominent chemist OF this city, WHOSE name
is withheld by the authorities This man
has informed the district attorney that he
received a letter from Molneux few
months ago asking for some poisonous
oxides. Not being satisfied that the poison
would be put to legitimate use. the
chemist did not send it. The result was
that he received a visit at his office from
Moiineux, who seemed particularly anxious
to get the drug.
The chemist, accompanied by two detec-
tives, went to the Tombs while the prison
ers We're taking their exercise Without
any hesitation he identified Molineux in the
crowd
When examined before the coroner Mol
meux swOre that he had never bought, or
attempted to buy, or manufacture any cy-
an:de or poisonous oxides declaring that he
knew nothing about their properties or use

The MOors to BE Reminded of Their
Obligations.

Admiral Howison's flagship, the Chicago,
which recently started from New York to
circumnavigate the world, will shortly
touch at Tangier Morocco, for the purpose
of reminding the authorities there of their
obligations to the United States for dam
ages sustained by American citizens several
years ago and to inquire the protection of
American interests generally in that quar-
ter of the globe
The Chicago left Porto Delgado Monday
last for Gibraltar. On arriving at the lat
ter port Admiral Howison will receive in
structions to touch at Tangier on his way
to Port Said. 1t is said at the Navy De-
partment that there is no especial signifi-
canoe in this movement beyond desire to
display the flag of an American warship in
those waters, with a possible view of expe-
diting the settlement of the long-pending
claims against the Morocco government.
The Moors are known to be susceptible to
demonstrations of physical force in meet
ing their obligations, when more pacific
methods are Of no avail

Two Bills Passed and Sent to Cover
nor Of Missouri.
The Missouri legislature has passed and
sent to the governor for signature two bills
intended to give the attorney general al
most unlimited power in the prosecution of
trusts. One permits that official to require
officers of corporations who he may be-
lieve have formed a trust and against
which companies he may desire to proceed
to appear to give testimony. The penalty
for failure to appear Is Imprisonment for
contempt.
The other bill enables the supreme court
to fix place in the state where the officers
of the corporations against whom the at
torney general is proceeding for violation
Of the antitrust law can appear~snd tes-
tify. This bill Is intended to prevent the
necessity for the attorney general to go all
over the United States to take testimony
as was done in the recent suit against in
surance companies.
