Down We Go Below the Chicago Hori-
From the Boston Transcript !


[From the Boston Transcript
The Anti-Imperialists at their Saturday
meeting in this city, pretty nearly succeed
ed in effacing themselves and their work /;
first, by permitting their organization, al
though 1t was the parent league, to be
absorbed into the Chicago league, which
will be interpreted as a confession of
weakness or WEAKNESS; and, second, by
adopting the resolution which starts off
with the sweeping pledge TO Subordinate
all other political issues in 1907 to that of
anti-imperialism. If this does not throw
them logically into the presidential canvass
for Bryan, who now stands upon substan-
TALLY the same platform, it means that
their votes are to be thrown away, just as
their own organization is to be lost in the
Chicago league. All this is more evidence
of how the centre of gravity in American
politics has taken leave of the Atlantic
coast for the Mississippi valley. All the
signs of the times show that the eastern
end of this country is getting to be so far
below the horizon, from the point of view
of the great prairie states where are found
the big blocks of electoral votes, as to be
an almost negligible quantity. To subor-
dinate all other issues TO that of antrim
perialism in 1900 will certainly not check
that tendency, even though anti-imperial-
ism has been a peculiarly Boston fad, and
first saw the light in Faneuil hall.

Fewer Troops in Cubs.

Gen. Leonard Wood, military governor
of Santiago, regards the recent stories tele-
graphed from Cuba of unrest among the
Cubans and a possible uprising as gross
exaggerations; in fact, he thinks they have
so little truth as not to make them worthy
of much consideration. He is now in
Washington counselling with the President
and Secretary Root, and that the Admins
tration has confidence in the generals ad.
vice is evidenced by the issuance of an or.
der from the war department for the with
drawal of a portion of the United States
forces in Santiago province. Gen. Wood
takes hopeful view of things. Santiago
he points out, has always been the mosi
unruly of the provinces, but if Santiago
does not need large military force, theI
he thinks the other provinces can certainly
get along with fewer troops.

New York. Sept 5.-The chartered
Anchor liner City of Rome came into
port yesterdayafter having been IN col
lision with an iceberg of the Banks.
She struck the floating ice head on, but
did not sustain much damage. As she
came up the bay there was nothing to
show that she had been in collision. ex-
cept her broken figurehead and bent
bob stay. When the vessel struck the
first cabin passengers were at dinner
and 4 scene OF wild confusion followed.
The passengers who were in the din
ing hall poured on deck to find out
what was the matter, and it was sever
al moments before the crew could quiet
their fears.
Women screamed, and some began to
pray, thinking that the liner was going
to sink. The officers acted in such q
way as to win the admiration of all,
and the passengers testify that the life
boat crews were in their stations a
moment after the collision. The City of
Rome carried an unusual number of
passengers, there being about 450 in
the first cabin, 230 in the second and
313 in the steerage. Her crew num-
bers 297 souls.
The big liner was creeping along in
the fog when the iceberg doomed up
ahead. The bell was at once rung to
reverse the engines and the ship was
almost at a standstill when she struck.
There was a crunching sound and the
steamship seemed to rise as though
running on the ice. Then she settled
down and the berg disappeared in the

MURDER MYSTERY Is SOLVED.
TWO Young Men Admit the Assassination

TWO Young Men Admit the Assassination
of Walter Koeller.
Chicago, Sept. 5.-Richard Honeck,
aged %, and Herman Hundhausen,
aged 20, are under arrest charged with
stabbing Walter F. Koeller, a compan-
len, dead in his sick room, SSO1a Fulton
street, Saturday night. The victim and
the suspects came originally from Her
mann, Mo. When arrested HOneck and
Hundhausen had with them IA small
sized arsenal, and one weapon, a pearl
handled hunters bowie knife, with a
two-edged blade ten inches long. was
smeared with blood, and this, the po-
lice say, was the knife that was plunged
through Koeiler'S heart and into his
left side.
Yesterday morning. in the presence
of Chief of Police Ripley and Inspector
Shea and before notary public, Humid
hansen made a full confession of the
crime. Revenge and not jealousy of a
woman, according to Hundhausen, was
the motive, and the stabbing was done
by Honeck with the knife found by the
police in his grip. Several years ago a
series of incendiary fires had occurred
in Hermann, Mo-, and other neighboring
towns, and Hundhausen and Honeck
were arrested and put on trial. Keel
Ter, it is said, testified at the time to
the effect that the two were implicated
and largely on his testimony convic
tions were secured. They swore to
have revenge on Koeller.
Confronted by the confession given
by his companion, Honeck broke down
and admitted the truth of Hundhausen s
statement under the interrogations of
Chief Ripley and Inspector Shea.

indianapolis, Sept. 5.-OrganiZed Ia
Dor in Indiana broke up into sections
yesterday for the celebration of Labor
day. The large increase in the number
of organized workingmen within the

the adoption of this plan necessary.
The demonstration for Indianapolis
and the gas belt occurred at Elwood.
and took thousands of workmen and
members of their families to that city.
Other impressive demonstrations were
held at Charlottesville, Terre Haute,
and Evansville. Governor Mount was
the principal speaker at Crawfords-
