Vagrnnt Finds Two Dollars and
ChOkes to Death.

NEW YORK, JAN 5.-A man Of middle
age, evidently a vagrant, walked along
Park Row today with his eyes cast down.
Suddenly he uttered an exclamation and
picked up a bill. Clutching the money
In his hand he ran into a restaurant. Call
ing to Frank Ryan, waiter, he said:
Bring me some roast beef, and bring
1T quick!"
The meat was served and the man fell
upon 1t as though he were famished. He
told Ryan that he had just found 50 on
the sidewalk. He then began to cut off
big chunks Of the beef and swallow them
almost without chewing. He had near
ly cleaned off his plate when a piece Of
the meat stuck in his throat and he be-
gan to choke. He fell to the floor in
commissions, and Ryan, who had pounded
him on the back without dislodging the
meat, ran for a policeman. The po-
liceman was equally unsuccessful, and
sent in an ambulance call. The man
lay writhing on the floor for time,
and Chen was still. The ambulance sur
geon who came said that he was dead.
The BODY was taken to the morgue. There
was nothing in the mans pockets by
which to identify him.

Great Anti-FOreiGn Demonstration
ReOrted From Shan Tung.
VICTORIA, B. G., Jan. 5.-News was
received by the steamer Queen Adelaide of
great anti-foreign demonstrations in
Shan Tung. A number of missions have
been looted and destroyed, many of them
being in connection with the American
mission board. Some of the priests and
missionaries have been killed, and in a
pitched battle with imperial troops sent
against them over 100 rebels were slain.
Among the Christians who first suf-
fered at the hands of the rebels were
thirteen families connected with the
American mission board at Tung Tchang,
near Thsu. Their houses We're looted
and they were robbed of property to the
value of 1000 taels. Four families Of
the American Presbyterian mission were
also robbed and their homes were de-
stroyed
Upon the Catholics the natives gave
full force to their fury. A number were
killed. 200 families robbed and many
homes and chapeIs burned. Another out
break is reported, where priest was
murd Ved with great brutality. His
head was severed from the body and
suspended from the top of tree Six
Catholic Christians were also murdered.
The missionaries of both denominations
have appealed to their consuls for protec-
ton. M

Marc carries less apparatus than did
Hermann, and, while his work in sleight

Marc said he would explain-some other
time. His work in extracting huge bou-
Duets of roses of all colors from a small
paper ''toot" was done slowly and we'll
to the front of the stage, but remains as
great a mystery as ever. When the ma

crown of borrowed hat the owner look

live, struggling bunny up in front OF
the audience and shot 1t out of existence,
no one being able to see what had become
of the poor little thing, there were dis

the house.
Maro's shadowgraph work, making pic

Bearing of 1t by America About to
BE Rewarded.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Secretary VIII
son, in an interview today, emphasized
the great commercial significance of the
''open door" concert Of the powers re-
specting China. Responding to an inquiry,
he said that but for this action the Unit
ed States would have been shut out from
trade advantages in any province which
other nations might see fit to take pos
session Of. He said:
Anything produced in the United
States will now permanently find its way
to all parts Of the Celestial empire. Our
trade relations there in the future are Sc
cured. Not of the least Importance is
the fact that the permanency Of the cot
ton market in China is secured. Tho trade
in cotton goods has, been very heavy in
Manchuria and other nort hern provinces.
Our interests generally, our dairy, our
poultry and other products from the
farms Of the United States now have
assurance Of permanent markets in all
the provinces throughout the Chinese en-
pire where such things are in demand,
and this demand is growing and will con-
tinue to grow.
THE work of, Secretary Hay in this re-
gard supplements and compliments the
work of our army and navy. A year ago
no nation would have listened to propo-
sition of this kind, but the whole world
listens to the United States now. The
white mans burden came with the ISL
ands Secretary Hays work brings the
reward for lifting the burden. Some idea
of the vastness of the interests involved
may be gained in the fact that while ten
years ago our exports from the Pacific
coast to all countries aggregated s26,00),-
600, and five years ago 100000, the
steady increase in Pacific coast exports
raised the aggregate to $73,000,000 a year
ago"

State Grain Inspector Reishus is Of the
opinion that 60 per cent of the wheat
raised last year in territory tributary
to the Minneapolis and Duluth markets
has been sold. His conclusions are based
upon information carefully gathered from
grain men and elevator reports. His in
vestigations show also that the amount Of
the 1899 wheat crop was largely over
estimated and that the figures Of the
Peavy interests were wide Of the facts.
The Peavy estimate on the 1899 crop was
29S, 900 bushels. Not more than 40 per
cent of this amount has been marketed.
and the grain department. information
shows that three-fifths Of the crop has
been sold. This is sufficient to show a
wide discrepancy between the estimates
and the real amount of the crop.
Considerable wheat is still coming in,
though the price remains almost station
airy. Wheat men and grain inspection OFF,
Gals have been anticipating a rise in price
for January, which will start heavier
movement at once, since the farmers
through the West. still have considerable
grain in store. The state inspector does
not expect any increase in the wheat
movement for some time, until the adj
vance of the winter brings a rise in prices
1.-THE wheat movement at present" said
he yesterday, lis way short of what 1t
ought to be, and the receipts for the
month will fall below those of last year
l anticipate an increased movement at
once upon the betterment of prices Farm
ers are unwilling to part with their wheat
at the figures which have been offering
"a ct iphf 10 n
way of forecasting the price situation,
but grain men with whom I have talked
and general indications both seem to
call for higher price In the spring"
Inspector Reishus is well satisfied with
the results Of his wedding out process in
the st. Paul Office. Since he first took
charge the force has been lessened and a
considerable saving In salaries made.
Speaking of the work of the office, he
said:
81 have cut the force in this office in
half. When 1 took charge of the grain
department 1t became apparent to me that
there were too many men for the amount
of work which was In sight, and, after
carefully investigating the duties Of the
different employees. I allowed several to

formerly employed, we are doing the same

WITHOUT PROPER CONSENT

Increased the Lumber Rate without
First Obtaining the Approval of

Fargo--Great Northern Employees
Opportunity for Investment.
The Northern Pacific is in trouble With
the railroad and warehouse commission
over the publication of a joint tariff on
lumber with the Chicago, Milwaukee IL
st. Paul and The Chicago Great Western.
The new tariff was issued in manner
contrary 10 the law, and the roads parties
to it were notified yesterday by the secre-
tary of the commission that 1t must be
withdrawn or trouble will ensue. The
point of law involved is explained in the
following extract from the statutes;
Section l. That after any railroad COM
pany has once put into ERECT and main
tanned for sixty (6O) days or more any
rate for the transportation Of grain, flax,
lumber, coal or live stock, between any
stations in this state on its line or rail-
Sroad, it shall be unlawful for such rail-
Sroad company to charge any hlgher rate
for the transportation Of any such freight
articles between such points, or In any
manner change its freight schedules or
ClaSS1ilCaUiGnS so lHdC llS IdlG oil Oil y
such articles OF freight shall be increased
between such points in this state, with.
out first obtaining from the railroad and
warehouse commission an order in writ
ing allow ing such advance in rate or
change OF classification
The Northern Pacific issued the tariff
in connection with the two other roads,
making an advance of cent per hundred
on soft pine lumber from Anoka, st.
Cloud and Little Falls to points in the
state on The Great Western and M1lWau-
llee The tariff was issued and in force
before the commission discovered that 1t
had been made. The application for the
advance in tariff required by law was
not made.
General Freight Agent S. L. Moore, of
the Northern Pacific has been commun-
Gated with and asked to explain the &C
ton Of the road. 1t is probable that
conference will be arranged between the
commissioners and the roads interested,
at which the matter will be taken up.
The publication Of the lumber tariff
by the Northern Pacific is the third IN
stance in three months of violation of
section / of the famous chapter 1Gc OF
the railroad laws.

Two Hundred Dollars to Get a Petty
Larceny Conviction.


After the county had expended over
5000 In attempting to secure a conviction
for grand larceny, John Hayerty and
Fred Hogan, charged with the theft Of
four napkin rings valued at 20 cents
apiece, appeared before Judge Jaggard in
the district court yesterday and by ar
rangement with the county attorney
pleaded guilty to petty larceny They
were SENTENCED to ten days each in the
county Jail.
On the night of Nov. Max Shimeck,
living on West Seventh street, took Hav-
erty and Hogan TIC his home for a night 8
lodging. In the morning he found that
his guests had flown, and with them four
plated napkin rings valued at 20 cents
apiece and watch. A complaint was
issued by County Attorney Bigelow,
charging the men with grand larceny in
the sec md degree, and Haverty was i'm
mediately arrested. Hogan was located
in Oshkosh Wis, and was brought back
by Sheriff Wagner. The men were held
to the grand jury and indicted on the
grand larceny charge. At the trial at the
December term of court the state made
no attempt tc show that the two men
had stolen the watch, and on the napkin
ring question the jury disagreed. Hayerty
and Hogan were remanded for another
trial.
Yesterday Haverty and Hogan were
brought over from the county jail, and
after conference with the county at
torney, changed their pleas from not gull
ty to guilty of petty larceny and re-
ceived ten-day sentences each. A county
commissioner, who has been following
the case, estimated yesterday that 1t
had cost the county 5000 to secure the
ten-day sentences for the theft of the
so cents worth of napkin rings, including
the $50 bill for bringing Hogan from Osh-
kosh the cost Of the jurymen, clerks,
bailfffs and other court expenses and
the board Of the defendants for the two
months they spent in the county Jail
awaiting the final disposition of their
cases.
