Ii Hung Chang Cuts Their Heads ON.

London, August "a letter from
Hong Kong, dated July 2, represents
that Ii Hung Chang was preserving
order at Canton by a virtual reign
of terror, rendering him well-hated
by the disorderly elements. He had
ruthleslly prevented anything in the
nature of a public meeting, and thus
effectually prevented any one of the
various parties, all of them animated
by hatred of foreigners, coming to-
gether to plan rising. During one
week he had executed by strangling
or beheading. seventy persons, and it
is asserted that during his viceroy-
atty no less than 1000 were executed.
All suspects, innocent and guilty
alike. were thrown into prison indis-
criminately, which, in majority of
cases was tantamount to execution.

Il Fight Between Italian Laborers


Near Marshalltown.
Marshalltown, August 2.-Several
station laborers at a stone quarry five
miles southeast of Marshalltown be-
came involved in quarrel while
drinking beer. Joe Seine and Joe Rio
commenced fighting, but were sep
arated and each rushed for weapons.
Seine procured revolver and Rio a
shotgun and both began firing. The
former emptied three chambers of his
revolver at Rio, but none of them
took effect. The third shot, however,
hit a comrade named Tony Corodo,
who was not engaged in the trouble,
the bullet putting one eye out and
tearing a hole clear through his head.
Several shots from Rios gun struck
Seine, producing only slight wounds.
After Corodo was shot both belliger-
ants fled towards Marshalltown. The
sheriff offered a reward for the arrest
of Seine, and 200 men joined in the
search through the fields and woods.
Meantime, both Italians made their
way to town by different routes, each
TO file information against the other,
and were taken into custody. The
innocent victim of Seino's bullet is
still alive, but it is not thought he can
recover.

DR.. William Elliot Griffis, in a re-
cent article on Japan, speaks of the
rapid growth of its already over
crowded population, and adds that the
Japanese, who have heretofore been
largely vegetarians, are now beginning
to eat a good deal of meat. A meat
eating population makes greater de-
mands upon the land Of country than
does a nation of vegetarians. A piece
of beefsteak represents the growth of
an animal during many months in
which it has been eating grass and
other crops from a wide range of ter
ritory; a dish of oatmeal is mans di-
rect use of a vegetable product.

NO SESSION UNTIL FALL.
United States Courts VIII Not Meet
Here Until That Time.

Assistant District Attorney W. r.. Lea
ken has returned from Augusta, where
he has been in attendance upon the ses-
sion of the United States Circuit and
District Courts. A large amount Of Grim
inal business was transacted in the courts
while Mr.. Leaken was in Augusta. When
he left it was expected that they would
adjourn last night and that Judge Speer
and the other court officers would return
to Macon.
The grand jury of the District Court
considered over eighty indictments and
returned only forty true bills A return
of no bill was made on the others. One
of the features of the session was the
presentment made by the grand jury as
to the extradition of defendants from one
state to another and the federal legisla-
ton and the judicial Interpretation there
of in reference thereto. This, of course,
was shot at the apparent failure of jus
tice in the Greene-Gaynor conspiracy
case.
From present indications It would seem
that the government had about aban-
doned all hope Of getting the defendants
to Savannah for trial before the fall.
Deputy Clerk Gillespie received a letter
from a court official yesterday in which
was conveyed the information that no
session Of the United States Courts would
be held here until fall. This is taken to
indicate that the district attorney, the At
torney General of the United States and

communicated agreement to the effect
that Greene and the Gaynors shall be
