ANTI-IMPERIALISTS.
Delegates to the Two Conventions at In.
dianapolis This Week Arriving
A Drift Toward Bryan.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. IA num-
Der of delegates and visitors to the
two anti-imperialist conventions which
are to meet here this week, arrived
Monday. The first arrival of the ma
tional party is Robert A. Widemann,
of New York. The hope of the pro-
moters of the national party is to
form coalition with the anti-imperial-
ist league either formally or in effect.
In an interview Mr.. Widemann says:
There are three courses open to the
namely: To maintain
a third ticket; to indorse Bryan, to do
neither, and merely to work to defeat
Mckinley. He says that Bryan is regarded
by anti-imperialists the less dangerous
of the two old party candidates.
But there are many of who are re-
publicanS and we cannot stomach Bryan.
We find that both the old parties are in
the hands of machines and that in the
end a few will profit at the. expense of
the public. We are confronted with
peculiar condition. If Mckinley, who
seems to be training his guns against
silver, is elected, he will declare that his
imperialistic policy has been Endorsed.
If Bryan, who is attacking the admin
istration's imperialist policy is elected,
he will declare silver has been Endorsed.
Either would be contrary to our views.
Mr.. Widemann says there is little
doubt but that there is a drift to-
ward Bryan.

MENsINcs GET the ISLAND.
Emo Of : Eosx Contest Tor Valuable Land
Situated In the East Bottoms At,
Kansas City, Mo.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Commission-
or Hermann, of the general land Office,
In the homestead entry contest of
John II. Mensing for valuable land
now In the corporate limits Of Kan
sas City, Mo-, but formerly an island
in the Missouri river, has decided in
favor of the Mensing heirs, permitting
their entry for all land within the old
meander boundary lines of the is
land. The land is ordered to be re-
lotted for the purpose. The remain
der of the island, as it now exists,
consisting of accretions, will be re-
offered for public entry. The land
has an appraised value of $1,000 an
acre, and 131 acres were in dispute.
The former island is not shown in
the plats of a survey made of the
land upon the Missouri side of the
river in 1929, but a survey made 30
years later showed the island to con-
sist of almost SO acres. The land was
for nine years military reservation,
and was turned over to the interior
in 1894. In 1895 it was
discovered that the island, as such,
existed no longer, but, by accretion,
has been considerably enlarged and at
tached to the mainland. The stisland'
referred to is in the east bottoms at
Kansas City, Mo-, and has been in lit
igation for more than 40 years. Men
sing settled on the island in 1858.

WAS 4 TERRIBLE B[UNDER.
Russian Artillery, Through a Mis-
take, Opened Fire on the Amer
lean Troops at Yang Tsun.
MANY UNITED STATES SOLDIERS KILLED
The Fourrsenth Infantry Took Possessi0a
of IN Abandoned Chinese Trench and
. Russian Battery That Had Not Mo-
ticed the Move Opened Fire ON the

New York, Aug. IA special cable
dispatch to the Evening World to-day
dated Che Foo, August 9. via Shang-
hal, says:
"a terrible mistake occurred at the
taking of Yang Tsun. Russian ar
tillery opened fire on the American
troops. Before the mistake was dis
covered many American soldiers had
been killed or wounded by the Russian
Shells
"The Fourteenth took part in the
attack on the Chinese trenches. As
and occupied one of the Chinese po-
sitions.
"A Russian battery some distance
off did not notice the movement. It
opened fire on the position and plant
ed shells among the American troops.
The Russians were quickly notified
and ceased their fire."
Allies Movements
London, Aug. 14.-As the allies were
to rest three days at Yang Tsun, it
is supposed that a further advance
was begun August 10, but no word
has come through from Yang Tsun
since August 8, on which date the
Japanese commander, in message to
Toxic, said 10000 Chinese were con-
fronting the allies. The japanese
losses at Peitsang August were 300
killed and wounded. The Chinese
left 200 dead on the field.
The object of Chinese diplomacy, as
appears from the great efforts being
made in London and at the continent
al capitals, is to induce the powers to
suspend the march of the relief expe-
dition, but it has been without success
in the case of any government.
An explanation as to why some of
the Pekin cipher messages are dated
Isl Nan is made by the Great North
ern Telegraph company, which points
out that it has a regular courier serv-
ice between Pekin and Isl Nan and
that the wires are worked from the
latter place.
Catholic Missionaries and Converts Killed.
Berlin, Aug. 1.-THE Catholic paper
Germania says it learns that ten out
of the so missionaries in the viscarate
of southwest Pe-Chi-Li have been
murdered and 5000 converts have suf-
fered the same fate.

Safe on the Pennsylvania Train.

Columbus, O., Aug. 14.-Charles P.

ter of Patrick Costlow, an engineer on
the Pennsylvania lines. He had been
discharged from the employ of the

months ago and had not since been
able to secure employment. He con-
fessed that the motive of the rob-
berry was to secure money, of which
he felt in great need, on account of
his approaching marriage The
money recovered he had given to Miss
Costlow to keep for him, saying it
was money he had saved from his
earnings.
