Number of People Shot.

st. Louis, May 30.-A terrific explo-
sion, supposed to have been caused by
dynamite placed on the tracks of the
Union line at Fifteenth and Chambers
streets, shook the buildings and broke
the glass in all the windows in the neigh
borhood early today.
AS near as can be determined, it had
resulted from dynamite which was eN-
ploded on the street car tracks. The
damage to the rails was not marked, the
explosive apparently having spent its
force i'll the air. Tho shock was felt
within Il radius of Il mile on Fifteenth
and Chambers streets. Glass was shat
tered in windows many blocks away.
The explosion created n panic i'll the
ncighborhood. The police furnish this

Two Hundred shots Fired.

Ihe worst OF the rl0tOuS disturbances
occurred near the intersection of Cali
fornia avenue and Keokuk street. In
this affray nonunion motorman and an
other employee on car of the Transit
company were probably fatally shot. The
battle while it ragged was fierce, and in
view of the large number of shots fired,
estimated at 200, it is remarkable that
| there were not more injured. If there
were, they were removed before the po-
| lice could get to the scene of the trouble.
As the car approached the intersection

imported from Cleveland, and an emer-
gcncy policeman, Lotion, who were on
the front platform, saw that some OBJ
struction had been piled high and that
the tracks were impossible. big crowd
was gathered to witness the removal OF
the obstructions. They began to hoot
and jeer and to apply epithets to the
crew of the car, daring any one to get OIL

Discussion Took a Wide Range
Covering Many Contingencies.

Washington, July 19.-The cabinet meet
ing today developed nothing of import
ance regarding the Chinese situation be-
yond decision to send w. w. Rockhill,
formerly secretary of the legation at Pc
kin, and assistant secretary of state, and
now chief of the bureau of American re-
publics, to China to investigate the situa-
ton and report to the authorities here.
Mr.. Rockhill will go a special commits
sioner to ascertain the extent of the re-
sponsibility of the Chinese government. if
otherwise furnish the administration with
information upon which the case of the
United States against China for indem-
nifty and reparation will be based. He is
well equipped for the mission, having
been secretary of the American legation
in Pekin for several years. He speaks
and writes Chinese fuently. The admin
iStration expects authentic news from Pc
kin soon; in fact, both the president and
his advisers can hardly understand why
some absolutely reliable news has not ar
any additional information the discussion
in the cabinet today took a wide range.
covering tentatively many contingencies
which may possibly arise. There was
unanimous concurrence in the presidents
action in appointing General Chaffee to a
major generalShip, to make his rank COM
mensurate with his command in China
and. that of the commanding officers of
the forces of the other powers. After the
cabinet meeting the president entertained
the members at an informal luncheon. The

DEBS TO WITHDRAW.
Nominee on Social Democracy
Ticket to Quit Oct. I.

Chicago, July 19.-It is asserted in
local Democratic. headquarters that Eu-
gene v. Debs, presidential candidate
of the Social Democracy of America,
will withdraw October In favor of VIM.
is that there care strong indications that
the Republican managers will seek to
use the Debs movement as means of
alternating the labor and railroad vote
from the Democratic nominee.
Democratic leaders In this city, par
ticularly those interested in the state
campaign, express some apprehension
over the DebS candidacy, and it was re-
ported that Henry c. Payne, the vice
chairman of the national Republican
committee, was laying plans to use the
Debs party as a Mckinley aid society,"
The information is that Victor Berger
of Milwaukee, who is q, close friend of
Payne and who is said to have been in
Strumental in starting the DebS crusade
and bringing about his nomination on
the Social Democracy ticket, will take
cagO OStenSibly to aid DebS, but really
in the interest of Mckinley.
The general impression among local
Democrats who have followed the Debs
movement is that the Social Democracy
leader will not draw much water in
Cook county, but it is feared that the
Debs ticket might become a factor in
the state and national campaigns.
As for Mr.. Debs, it is not even init
mated that he personally is a party to
any arrangement which will initiate
against Colonel Bryan either in Illinois
or in any other state. Debs is said to be
a warm friend of the Nebraskan and
by Charles A. Towne and withdraw in
favor of Bryan.

ANONYMOUS THREATS
Washington, July 19.-The govern
ment authorities are finding the present
Chinese agitation is having the usual
effect of stimulating cranks and ag1-
tators and many of the highest officials
are receiving anonymous letters con-
tanning advice, and some times threats
The Chinese officials also are the VIC
Tins of foolish effusions. They are not
considered seriously, however, and the
officials, both of their government and
of China dismiss them as silly emana-
lions from ignorant persons. On their
face, some of these communications look
belligerent, but their illiteracy and
braggadocio modify their effect. The
government officials express regret that
in the delicate position in which the

prehend the guilty parties.

HANNA WANTED LELAND.
Calls Him the Best Politician West of
Mississippi River.

William Allen White of Emporia has
returned from Cleveland where he call
ed upon Mark Hanna, chairman of the
national Republican committee. White
and Hanna were discussing Leland, the
conversation being narrated by Mr.
White in the following statement:
ST regard Cy Leland, Hanna said, 'as
the best politician west of the Mississip-
pi river, and I would put him on this
advisory committee but for the fact
that he is a federal office holder. There
is to be no exception to the rule against
appointees of the president, participant
ing in the active mana cement of the
campaign. We persuaded Perry Heath
to resign that he might serve as secre-
tary to the convention"
What do you think the anti-Leland
faction in Kansas would say to the pre-
ferment of the committeeman" ask
ed Mr.. White.
st don't care what they would say"
Hanna replied. IF he were out of office
I would appoint him and that would end

ANT1-cHR1sT1AN LETTER
Issued to His Subordinates by the
Fantai of Shan Tung.

New York, July ia dispatch to the
Herald from Che Foo, July IS, via
Shanghai says
legal official of the province and next
in rank to the governor. has issued to
his subOrdinates, the magistrates of the
province, the following anti-Christian
letter. 1t purports to be addressed to
and record a conversation between the
governor and the faRtai, but that is
possibly a subterfuge to impose on the
magistrates The fantai is VIGOROUSLY
anti-Christian and his letter can not
fail to have evil consequences. The let
ter is as follows:
According to your remarks to me
when speaking the subject of boxers
who declare themselves the enemies of
all Christians, from the time of the set
Brooks murder they have increased
like swarm of bees and their power
has grown day by day. The provinces
of Shangtu and Chilli are filled with
them. Beginning at Pekin and Tien
TSin, they have burned churches, muir
dered Christians and prosecuted other
people On this account soldiers were
dispatched, but the trouble increased SO
that it seems endless.
This calamity has as its source the
native Christians, who have clothed
themselves with the power of foreign
ers. Relying on this power, the native
Christians have insulted people to such
an extent as to engender the greatest
hatred, and the occasion has been taken
out evil designs. as burning and rob-
bling.
What, therefore, can be considered
good method to stop the trouble? To
stop the pot boiling over the fuel must
be pulled out from below; but the native
Christians are part of our people and
since they have been deceived by the
foreigners they have lost the right road.
If they would be brought back to the
old pathway they would be our loyal
people again. In this way mutual hatred
would cease and tranquility be re-
stored.
Therefore. we exhort you according
to the instructions of our government
and authorize all ma gistrates to compel
native Christians to return to their for
mer religion and make them give secur-
ity that they will not enter again a
Christian church. All furniture of
churches and Christians is to be con-
fiscated, and proclamations are to be
issued exhorting the people to abstain
from robbing Christians who renounce
their faith.
This will be the best plan to cause
the present troubles to cease, and it is
the duty of all wise and good men to
consider this plan for stopping the pres
ent calamitieS'

MIR. WILDER's ELIGIBILITY
Sons of Revolution Discuss His Right
to Mem bership.

The Kansas Society of Sons of the
American Revolution met Wednesday
afternoon in regular session. President
George D. Hale being absent, Vice
President G. r. Kimball filed the chair,
and in the absence of Secretary Luther
M. Nellis, Judge J. L. Eldridge filled his
place.
The application of Ellinwood Wood
man was approved.
A communication from D. w. Wilder
in regard to his admission as member
was read. He seems to think himself
not eligible. Some members thought
otherwise from his own statements and
further correspondence was advised. 1t
appears that Mr.. Wilder'S ancestor &C.
cupied judicial position and was not
in active service. But in such position
he could and evidently did do good ser
vice, both as citizen and judge, to the
patriot cause. Mr.. Wilder is probably
eligible, and SO are many others who
are not aware of the fact.
The committee on year book reported
progress. The work, historical and
biographical, of the society is ready for
the press Works of this kind, some
very elaborate, are published by the
different state societies and are ex-
changed. The Kansas society has here
tofore been unable to return the COM
pliments received.
Mr.. Edward Wilder has recently re-
ceived a lot of valuable, weather STAIN
ed old documents of rare interest. They
are the original official records of a por-
LlOn Oh the continental army SIaIlOneQ
around Boston in the autumn months
after the battle of Bunker Hill. They
illustrate the character of General
Greene as a disciplinarian and tell of
the methods and degree of punishment
inflicted, often times upon thoughtless
or wayWard soldiers, before they had
learned the necessity of military dis
cipline. These papers are of consider
able length and have no little interest
to a modern student, both in style and
matter. Mr.. Wilder will probably ar
range and publish them.
AT the next (October) meeting Prof.
J. II. Lovewell will present a lot of sim
liar documents, postponed for want of
time, until that meeting.
The society is in a very prosperous
condition and is steadily growing. This
is true of most if not all the other state
societies. There is much need of a room
for the meetings of the Kansas society,
and on motion of Mr.. Wilder the officers
were instructed ocall upon the Secre-
tary of state and ascertain if proper
provisions cannot be made to secure a
room for the use of the society.

BOLD NEWTON ROBBER
Secures 1921 of Mrs. w. TEL.
Schopper, Wife of Santa Fe
Engineer.

Newton, Kan, July 19-One OF the
boldest burglaries that has taken place
in Newton for years occurred at the
home of w. H. Schopper, 227 West
South Third street early Wednesday
morning. The burglar maltreated Mrs.
Schopper, secured 1921 in money, and
escaped, leaving scarcely any clue to his
identity. Mrs. Schopper and her five
little children were alone in the house,
her husband. a Santa Fe engineer, being
in Dodge City.
The house in which the affair took
place lis a story and half high, with
porch on the north and east sides
Mrs. Schopper was sleeping in the east
room up stairs. She was awakened
some time between and o'clock by a
noise on the east porch. She hastily
arose and went to the window, arriving
there just in time to see a man crawling
over the edge of the porch.
Almost before she could realize what
was being done, the man had lifted the
wire screen and was beside her in the
room. Clutching her night dress hG
pulled her to the bureau and went
through three drawers but found only
a handkerchief, which he placed in his
pocket. He then ordered her to give up
her money. Mrs. Schopper led the way
down stairs to the side board IN the
dining room and from it took her pocket
book and handed it to the burglar.
But the seven silver dollars it con-
and shaking her roughly, he said:
There's more, get it for me-" His vic
tim protested that was all. With vol
ley of curses the ruffian cooked his pis-
toll, pointed it at her temple and threat
ening to kill her, forced her at the point
of the revolver, to lead him to the place
where the remainder of the money in
the house was concealed. This was on
the top of a door in the sewing room.
In this there were 1924 IN gold and paper
currency. A ten dollar gold piece
slipped from the mans hand unnoticed
and was left on the floor.
Taking a piece of cloth from his
pocket, he forced it into her mouth, eff
fectuaily gagging her, and tied the
handkerchief he had taken from the
bureau over her mouth. Her hands were
tied behind her with a strip of coarse
muslin and thus bound she was pushed
into the parlor and thrown upon
lounge. After tying her ankles with
piece of string the burglar departed
through the front door.
For at least two hours, and possibly
more, the helpless woman lay on the
lounge and struggled to free herself.
The string used was not a strong one
but was wrapped around her ankles
many times. Finally. about five o'clock
she succeeded in freeing herself.
