Olivia. Mimi, Oct. 81. The can
vassing board met at Beaver Falls
yesterday and canvassed the vote on
the county seat proposition. They
found Olivia had majority Of about
1900. or about 6S per cent Of the vote
cast. The board declared the prop
osition carried and ordered the rec
ords moved to Olivia, and large
number of men and teams went to
Beaver Falls for the purpose of re-
moving them to this place. The ques-
tion is thought to be settled for all
time to come now. Olivia five years
ago had the county seat for a few
months, but Beaver Falls carried the
matter to the supreme court and had
enough votes thrown out to defeat
the removal. The county seat con-
test has been carried on in Renville
county for over twenty years, but 1t
is now finally settled and work on the
court house will be started immedi-
ately.

La Crosse. Wis, Oct. 31.-As q result
Of the coroner's inquest over the body
Of Peter Sacmary at Caledonia. the
whole Sacmary family, consisting Of
the father. mother and three children,
are under arrest charged with murder
The body of the murdered boy was
found by John Schriver and Joe Sac
mary, who were out hunting in the,
woods near the Sacmary farm. The
body was covered by twigs and
branches. A story Of almost unheard
OF cruelty on the part Of the boys par
ents and brothers is involved. Peter
sacmary disappeared early in May,
and the neighbors Of the family at
once were suspicious of foul play. Lib
eral rewards were offered and every
effort was made TO unravel the mystery
but without results The boys feet
were frozen completely of several years
ago, and after that he
Was . PitiabIe Cripple,
unable to walk the length of a block
in an hour. For this reason the neigh
bors and authorities insisted that
young Sacmary had been murdered.
He had always been shamefully abused
by the entire family, and the mother
often said that the boy was a bother
and that she wished that he were dead.
There seems to be not the slightest
doubt in the community that the Grip
pie was killed by members Of his fam
lily. and the feeling against them is
very strong at Caledonia, where the
Sacmarys are now In Jail. The father
and mother are about sixty years of
age. The whole family will be prose-
cuted on charge of murder. The
murdered boy was never allowed TO eat
with the rest OF the family. and the
food and clothing given him We're al
ways insufficient

Between Formosa and the coast OF
China lies In a group o. twenty-one Is
lands, interspersed with innumerasle
reefs and lodges, which are called the
Pescadores islands. According to the
investigations OF a Japanese geologist,
these Islands have suffered in q re-
markable manner from the northwest
winds, which blow with savage yio-
lence there during nine months OF the
year. The original area OF the islands
has been greatly reduced by erosion,
and their surfaces are barren and DESC
late, so that the wind-whipped group

70 the citizen soldiers on their return

sands OF people were rushing into the
city early in the morning and the
streets were jammed along the entire
route with a cheering. patriotic, singing
multitude. The wave of patriotism was
even greater than that. of the queens
jubilee, which means that 1t was the
greatest popular demonstration the EN-
pire has ever seen. For the frst time
London's police were unable TO. cope
with the enormous crowds and the SOL
Giers had TO assist them in keeping the
people in check. The procession was
forty minutes passing a given point.
The men looked thin but wiry. The
ambulance wagons conveying the In
valids brought up the rear. At Ludgat
Circus the
Police Lost Control
of the crowd and women and children
were thrown to the ground. Half q
dozen persons were taken to the hospi-
tails. No doubt there were many ac-
cidents owing to the unparalleled num-
Der of people on the streets. A man fell
OF the roof Of house sixty feet from
the ground. He struck a woman stand
ing on the sidewalk and she was
crushed to death. The man was not
hurt. As a result of the panic in Lud-
gate Circus sixty persons were taken
to the hospitals. The police arrange
ments for dealing with the crowds
broke down completely and the streets
were filed with a surging multitude.
1t was impossible for pedestrians to
make any progress and the difiiculty In
restoring order became greater every
minute. The arrangements for keeping
Fleet street clear for the procession
utterly failed and
surging Mas of People
police and volunteers were hopelessly
intermingled. A long line Of policemen
pushing forward, shoulder to shoulder.
and backed by a line of volunteers
failed to keep the line clear, for the
reason that 1t was simply a question Of
weight and the crowd vastly outnum-
bered the police. Such a concourse was
never before witnessed in the streets Of
London, and yet with all perfect good
temper prevailed.
The volunteers on arriving az the ca
thedral filed into the long pews and
filled the nave. Bishop Stepney

Pekin, Oct. 30.--The ministers of the
various powers held a meeting at the
house Of the Spanish minister. The
only question discussed was as to the
punishment OF the Chinese officials
who were responsible for the Boxer
outbreak. The meeting was very har-
monious, and there was no serious
disagreement as to the extent or the
punishment that should be meted out.
1t is said that they will demand the
death of the instigators of the rebel
lion. The intention Is to hold further
meetings before a conference Is held
with the Chinese peace commissioners.
At this conference the ministers have
agreed to unite on the policy to be
formulated.
Much alarm is felt here over the
reports of the intention Of the Chinese
to depcse the viceroy of Nankin and
Chang Chi Tung, the viceroy of Wu-
chang, who have been very friendly
to foreigners during all the recent
troubles. Mr.. Conger went to Ii Hung
Chang and asked whether this was
true. Earl Ii replied that the report
was not only not true, but that such
action was furthest from the emper-
or's thoughts. The report was re-
peated to Mr.. Conger and he formally
protested to Ii Hung Chang against
the deposing of these officials. The
belief here Is that IL these viceroys
are deposed by the court such action
will permanently block the peace ne
gotiations and possibly lead to the de-
struction of the Manchu dynasty.
Ii Hung Chang memorialized the
throne on Oct. %, demanding the pun
ishment OF the parties guilty Of TO-
meuting the recent uprizing and caus-
ing all OF China's present troubles.
Emperor Kwang Su answered as fol-
lows:
I'm reply to your last memorial ask
ing for the further punishment of cer-
tain officials, can do nothing more
until the board of punishment acts on
the order to punish the officials who
were degraded by previous edict.'
The emperor further orders Earl LII
to memoralize the throne freely as to
what he believes should be done, and
promises that adequate justice shall
be meted out.

!. New York. Oct. 31.-By a series OF
terrific explosions following FIRE in
Tarrant's wholesale and retail drug
store at the southeast corner Of
Greenwich and Warren sereets, hun

ity OF several years ago. Many of
the injured. however, win not recover.

that the dreaded event had come. that

poured out of the nearby houses and
fed. Furthermore, the time Of the
accident was just the hour when many
