CHANG BEHEADED.
Empress DovaEer Secures Execution
of a Loyal Adherent Of the
Emperor.

Washington, Oct. discrimination
has been received here of the execu-
ton on July 20 of Chang Yen Hoon,
the former Chinese minister to the
United States. Chang was a loyal ad-
herent of the emperor and a warm
supporter of the 1atter's reform move
ments. When the empress dowager
supplanted the emperor two years
ago he was banished to Nebradoo, but
though the Intervention of the Amer
lean and British ministers his pun
ishment was committed to Danish
ment in the distant province of Kash-
garia. It now appears that the en-
press dowager, taking advantage of
the late reign of terror at Peking and
knowing Changes influence with the
emperor, ordered his execution by
decapitation. Chang was considered
by those familiar with Chinese affairs
as one of the ablest men in China. He
had been decorated by the queen of
Great Britain and by the emperor of
Russia and Germany. He was pre-
eminently the most liberal and en-
lightened of Chinese statesmen and
had his life been spared till the occu-
patton of Picking by the allies, he
! doubtless would have been recalled
and have taken an active part in the
pending negotiations and future gov
| eminent of China.

self at Warrington.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Thomas F.
Lane, son-in-law of ex-senator Black
burn, committed suicide at his home
here Monday night. Mr.. Lane entered
the house about II p. m, and shot him
self in the presence of his little daugh-
ter while his wife was resting on a
couch in an adjoining room. Death was
almost instantaneous. Mr.. Lane was
the American representative of the
London ordnance firm of Vicker's Sons
and Maxim. He was we'll to do, prom
inently connected and a familiar fig
ulre in Washington society. 1t is said
that he was driven to the act by brood
ing over i'll health. He was told some
time ago that he had Bright's disease
and he allowed the matter to prey on
his mind.
Senator Blackburn was in Hagers-
town, Nd, Monday night when the
news of the suicide reached him. He
had been on a campaign tour of the
state. He left as soon as possible fol
Washington, and it is likely that the
occurrence will force him to abandon
any further active work in the cam
paign.

Tuesday morning they were met on>a
mountain road by three companies of
infantry and at the point of the bay

crowd of 800 strikers from the north
side of Hazleton also marched here
and succeeded in closing the COM
pany's No. 1 colliery at Nesquehoning,
near Mauch Chunk, before it was
scattered. The presence of the sol
diers was entirely unexpected and the
strikers were much crestfallen that
they failed in accomplishing the OBJ

He says the coke supply, however, Is
limited. The Frick ovens in Pennsyl-
vania and others cannot meet the de-
mand. In most instances, MI. Wilson
says, coke can be substituted for an
thracite coal. The coke oven owners
are reaping a great harvest on 1ac-
count of the demand for coke. Prices
have been advanced.
Distress Is Evident.
Asked if there is any real suffering
among the miners, Mr.. Wilson said:
'When I left the anthracite region, a
few days ago, suffering was apparent
in some places. Real distress is be-
coming evident in many homes, but
this fact does not break the courage
of the great army of strikers"

Dubuque, Ia, Oct. 1.-THE Missis-

this time of the year. The lowlands
from the city are overflowed. Houses
are inundated, and large quantities Of
frewood have been swept away.

After an adjournment for lunch an
other meeting was held, continuing
until nearly five o'clock. After the
consultation George F. Baer remarked
in a general way that it might be
some days before a settlement of the
strike is reached.
Won't Recognize Union.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE rep
resentatives of the coal-carrying COM
panies here have been in communica-
| ton with headquarters in New York
regarding the settlement of the
miners strike. The resolutions adopt
ed by the Scranton convention were
mailed to all the coal companies and
individual operators. They all bore
the seal of the United Mine Workers
organization and there was a request
that a prompt reply to the communi-
cation would be thankfully received.
The communication still remains on
the desks of some of the coal COM
panies unopened. The reason for this
is some of the operators do not want
to commit themselves in any way as
; recognizing the miners union. To
enter into any negotiations with the
officers of the organization would, in
the opinion of the operators, be an
admission that the operators recog-
nized the union. The strikers here
j. profess not to be discouraged with the
! outlook. They say eventually the
companies will give in and the men
will be ordered back to work.
Miners Disappointed.
Shamokin, Pa, Oct. 17.-Miners in
this region are disappointed over the
I failureof the operators up to this time
to concede to the terms of the Scran-
ton convention. 1t was fully expected
that by this time the operators and
coal carrying companies would have
announced their determination to &C.
cede to the demands of the men. As
vel no cases of restitution among the
men have been reported to strike
leaders.
Causes No Surprise.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE cable dis
patch from St. Petersburg indicating
that Russia's attitude in China will
be Independent of the concert of the
powers caused no surprise among off.
= Gals here. It was noted when the ag.
gressive military movement was be.
gun by Germany, and the expedition
against Paoting-Fu started, that Rus
STA was among the powers which did
not join in the movement. The dis.
patch from St. Petersburg is looked
upon as merely another step similar
to that taken when Russia withheld
support from the Paoting-Fu expedi'
ton and other aggressive military
moves. Moreover, it is regarded as
quite in with the pacific
tendencies of this government, which
have been directed all along to secur.
ing a settlement by diplomatic means
rather than by the sword.
Much Coke Used.
Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. NV. B

THE SHERIFF ATTEMPTS TO ARREST HIM
He Kills the Sheriff, But Vengeance Follows
Swiftly, the Son Of the Officer Ending
His Bloody Career by Shoot

(By the Associated Press.)

Leavenworth, Kansas, Aug. 20.-A pecu-
liarly distressing quadruplc tragedy took
place today at Farley, small town across
the river in Missouri. DR.. Sturley Har-
rngton, a sphysician of Farley, drunk
and imagining fancied wrongs killed JAS
Wallace, his uncle, a wealthy farmer;
Mrs. William Wallace, Harringtons moth
er-in-law and ]. P. Dillingham;, sheriff of
Platt county, who tried to arrest him,
and wss in turn shot dead by Harry Dill
lingham, the sheriff's son. Before he
was cornered by the sheriffs posse, Har-
rington held up the clerk in a general
store at the point of his revolver and ex-
changed shots with the clerk, firing into a
crowd of spectators. Harrington's twelve
year old daughter was a forced witness
of the different stages Of the tragedy,
the physician taking her with him in his
buggy as he went from place to place on
his bloody errand. Saturday night Har-
rington auarrelled with his wife and
drove her from home, threatening her life.
He had had words with James Wallace
over a line fence and had been on a pro-
tracted spree. Mrs. Harrington had not
returned home this morning and Har-
rington, repairing to Wallaces home, de-
manded to know where she could be found.
Wallace professed to have no knowledge
of her whereabouts. whereat Harrington
whipped out a revolver and shot him
twice, once in the head and once through
the heart. Leaving his victim as he lay,
Harrington drove half mile to the home
of Mrs. William Wallace and again de-
manded to know of his wife. To Mrs
Wallace's answer that she knew nothing
Of Mrs. Harrington, the physician shot
her dead before she could make an out
crv.
The cause OF the shooting is said to
be trouble caused by Harrington's having
been expelled from the Masonic Lodge of
Farley He was expelled some time ago
and charged his uncle James Wallace and
Daniel Cannon with being instrumental
in the proceedings. 1t lis said he made
the threat that he would clean out every
Mason in Platt county for this action. No
reason has been ascribed for Harrington's
having shot his mother-in-law, except
that he was crazed with liquor. The Wal
lace's were among the most respected citi-
zens of Platt.

MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE.
Trial Of Youtsey Postponed Till Thursday Be-
cause of His Illness.
(By the Associated Pres,

Georgetown, KY, Aug. 20-The defense
today filed a motion for a continuance un-
til October term, in the case of Henry E.
Youtsey, who is indicted as one of the
principals in the Goebel murder. The
motion is based on the illness of the de-
fendant, supported by the affidavits of
two physicians; on the illness of his at
torneys and also on the absence of a
large number of important witnesses.
The court did not pass directly upon
the motion for a continuance. but said
that only one of the grounds set up in
the affidavit was to be considered, that of
the illness of the defendant. He there
fore postponed the trial until next Thurs
day morning, by which time it would be
determined whether Youtsey will be able
to stand trial. During the sparring be-
tween the cunsel over the matter, Colo

that he believed it possible to get all OF

'UBAN REPUBLIC.
Gomez Says De. - 4 to the Convention Should
be True Revolutionists.
LBY the Asgociated Press.l

Havana, Aug. 20.-General Maximo
Gomez publishes a letter in La Lucha re-
garding the election of delegates to the
forthcoming constitutional convention
which he asks all the papers of the ISL
and to print. 1t is addressed to the old
soldiers of the revolutions of 1868 and
1895 General Gomez SAYS in part:
'Ideas must not be confounded with
principles. Honor demands that princi-
pies should be saved even at the cost OF
life. The convention should consist of
genuine revolutionists and it will so
consist, unless the people flattered by line
words. allow what they have conquered
to be taken away from them.
Nobody should be allowed to enter the
convention who formerly DETAINED the rev.
olution unless Cubans wish to outrage
honor and sacred duty.
THE enemy are working hard; but let
Cubans remember that those who op-
posed the revolution cannot be accepted
at the last moment. Many rich and in
tellectual persons have shown opposition
to the revolution. All these should be
left out. Patriotism has the right to
choose the most worthy-not the most
wise-until the Republic is established.
although all parties may be outward
ly harmonious, still old scores will not
be forgotten. Therefore let the Spaniards
stand aside until all can enter equal
through the gates of the Republic.

close the issue of this situation, nor how
long it has continued.
Today's dispatches seem to make clear
that the Emperor and the Empress Dow
ager have made their escape from Pekin
and that about the only present service
OF the imperial palace and grounds is as
an asylum in which the demoralized Chi
nese soldiers are making a last stand.
The Japanese Legations advices today
showed that the banners of the Imperial
cortege were seen leaving Pekin on the
18th and that probably the Empress
DCwager, as well as the Emperor, had
left the CITY,
Consul General Goodnow advised the
State Department that he had informa-
tion from Chinese sources that the EN-
press Dowager had left Pekin.
The attitude which the international
forces will observe toward the Emperor
and Empress Dowager, is understood TO
have received official consideration among
the powers, resulting from request by
the Southern ViceroyS that no personal
indiSnity be shown to China's rulers. In
response to this, it is quite generally un-
derstOOd that there will be no personal
indignity to the Emperor and Empress
Dowager, not because it is felt that there
is any special consideration due them,
but because China would be precipitated
into chaotic condition if the respon-
sible heads Of the Empire lost their func-
tions. In view of the general desire Ct
this Government and the others concern
ed to keep China intact, and speedily re-
store quiet. the disposition among off,
cials is toward refraining from any per-
sonal indignities to the Chinese rulers.
1t develops in this connection that all Of
the powers recently rejected the propo-
sition of the consuls at Tien Tsn to de-
stroy the tombs of the Ming Dynasty.
The proposed destruction was a threat
held out to the Chinese in the hope of
bringing them to terms, But the powers
rejected the proposals and thus gave Sig

Wallace's Order Will Stand.
(By the Associated Press.)


New York, Aug. 2O.-Judge Wallace,
of the United States Circuit Court this
afternoon denied the request Of United
States Attorney Burnett for revocation
OF his recen orderSin the Neeley case by
which Neeley was remanded to the GUS
tody of the United States Marshal pend
ing an appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court from the denial of a writ
of habeas corpus.
Judge Wallace said that he would await
further developments in the extradition
proceedings.
Judge Wallace said if it seemed neces-
sary or exDedient he would permit Nee
ley's counsel to make a further applica-
tion for a writ of habeas corpus, and take
such action thereon as was deemed proper.
Mr.. Lindsay then submitted petition
for a writ of habeas corpus as suggested
by Judge Wallace.
Immediately upon adjournment the new
petition was filed in the clerks office of
the Circuit Court.
