NUMEROUS BANDITS.
They Rob Passengers aud Killed a Man
Who Resisted.

Salina, Kan, Aug. 6.-Coming
across the lonely streth of plains near
Hugo, Col, late at night two masked
men held up the fast east-bound I'm
ion Pacific train, robbed and rified the
passengers of their money and valua-
bles and shot and instantly killed Will
lam ]. Fay, an aged man who resisted
them. They boarded the train at a
way station eighty miles east of Den
yer. While it was running at high
rate of speed they forced an entrance
to the passenger coaches, covered the
conductor with revolvers awakened
the passengers one at time and re-
lieved them of their property.
In one section the robbers encoun-
tered Fay, 6S years of age. He was a
westerner and pioneer of California
and the gold fields of that state. When
he realized what was going on, he at
tempted to take a revolver from his
valise, but the taller of the robbers
shot him. The bullet entered the aged
passengers mouth, passing through
the back of his head and killing him
instantly. His remains were taken off
the train at Hugo and shipped to Den
yer.

A CHINESE wEYLER.
Ii Ping Hung Is Master of Affairs Inside
of Pekin.

Shanghai, Aug. 6.-Sheng, the Chi
nese director of telegraphs, the only
Chinese official on the coast who is in
direct communication with the i'm
perial authorities at Pekin, tells what
happened up to Aug. /. sums up the
situation there, and tells in unmistaka-
BILE words what he believes the out
come will be. The American has told
how two members of the tsung-li-
yamen were put to death for alleged
friendliness to the foreigners.
Sheng confirms this, gives out for
the first time the names of the I'M
fortunate officials.
The victims of Ii Ping lungs
wrath were Hsu Ching Cheng, former
ly minister to Russia and more recent
ly imperial director general of rail-
ways, and Yuan Chang. They had
been doing good work in suppressing
the Boxers and had supported the eff
forts of Prince Ching to save the for
eign ministers and restore order in
Pekin.
For this they incurred the displeas-
ure of Ii Ping Hung, the butcher and
arch enemy of Christians, and, not
withstanding their high Office as mem
Ders or the tsung-ll-yamen, they were
led out on July % and beheaded as
warning TO others who might seek to
befriend the besieged ministers. Prince
Ching protested. Sheng declares, but
his efforts were unavailing.
This puts new and graver aspect
on the situation in Pekin. Sheng de-
clares Ii Ping Hung, the Chinese
Weyler, is the master there. General
Tung Fuh Slang, Sheng declares, has
10000 troops, all wild demons, In the
vicinity of Pekin. He fears that should
the allies force an entrance to Pekn
Tung Fuh Slang will compel the en-
peror and dowager empress to evacu-
ate the palace and place themselves I'M
der his protection. Then he will, most
likely, murder the foreign ministers.
Unless Tung Fuh Slang is suppressed
Sheng fear that there is no hope for
the legations. Bloody massacres will
surely result.

Edwardsvil,e, Aug. 2.-The crew
Of Glover Leaf freight No. AZ had a
terrifying experience at Stallings,
where their train cut off the head of
an Italian, one Of a gang employed by
the Illinois Central in grading at that
point.
The train was stopped after the ac-
cident, and enraged by the loss of their
comrade 100 Italians swarmed around
the train crew, who tried in vain to
explain the circumstances. Several
attempted to use knives on the train
men, who hurried aboard and backed
to Madison, as they could not get
start in the other direction on account
of the grade. A fresh start was made
and the train went through Stallings
at rapid rate.
The Italians had meantime secured
some guns, and the crack Of rifles was
heard for a quarter Of mile, as the
men along the track tried to shoot
through the cabOose windows.
