METHODIST BISHOP BELIEVES
CHINESE EMPRESS DOWAGER
Is SUPPORTING REBELLION
BURNED GIRL IDENTIFIED
EecOnd Victim of Thursday Morn
inG's Fire Was n Young
Woman From Near
OWatOnna.
nLCLE'S MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE,
~ 90 WASHINGTON Az SOUTH

Bishop I. w. Joyce of the Methodist
Episcopal church. who has lived several
years in the Chinese empire. says that
he believes that the empress dowager
IS behind the Boxers in their rebellion,
or that she is giving them her moral sup
port. at any rate. The empress doWager
is a woman who, according to the bishop,
has an undying hatred of all foreigners,
ana would go to any length TO get them
out of her domains. The bishop thinks
she is foolish enough to believe that sh,,
may accomplish this by abetting the ri
otous Boxers. In conversation last even
tng on the subject the bishop said:
Ihe Boxers were not organized when
4 llFeu IN China. or II there was such an
orEanlzatlon 1t was never heard of in the
Vicinity OF PelIin, or even in Central
emma. L believe that their operation
maX be traced to the hate which the
greater portion of the Chinese people
nave Tor the present dynasty and for all
foreigners. The family on the throne
today are of MOngOlian origin, and are
not pure biooded Chinese The peoDle
1eel that they ought to be governed by
one OF their own race. and take these
methods to bring about that end.
Another reason for the continued state
of rebellion in China is the fact that the
larger portion OF the inhabitants are
BuddhlSts, and. as such. are aVerse to
any alteration in the existing state of
ShlngS or any progress Whatever They
seel that the religion which is being in
uoduced into the country by the Ameri-
cans and Europeans will, in course of
time effect great changes. and so they
try to exterminate every person who en-
braces it. So far the Boxers have at
tackled but few foreigners, but have con-
fined themselves to the sIaughtering of
native Christians. which. it seems to me,
goes to prove that my theory is the cor
rect one.
The inhabitants Of Pekin and the Iarg-
er cities of the empire are in no danger
from the Boxers for the foreign nations
which have embassies in the large towns
would never permit the rebels to enter
them. The forces from the different
men-of-war could be massed in Pekin,
for instance. and they could hold the
Boxers at bay for an indefinite period"

MURDERER YET At iRI266EE RHRI26E
OFFICERS MAKING LITTLE HEAD
WAY IN FINDING THE WISE
FAMILY ASSASSIN
THEY TURN TO BALC0M AGAIN
He Gives an Account of His Move
ments Saturday and Sunday,
and This Is Being
Looked Up.

ANOKA, Mimi, June 1.-The officers
working on the Wise murder mystery
have accomplished little if anything up to
this time. They went to Grantsburg to-
day to see if Balcoms suspected connec-
ton with the affair would develop any
thing, but it is not believed that their
efforts along this line will prove any more
successful than have any of the others.
Few people here now believe that Balcom
knows any more about it than he says he
does. If the guilty parties are ever found
the officers will have to look in some other
direction.
William Wise is showing a slight i'm
provement, but the boys condition is un
changed. 1t is feared that neither will
recover, although both are making a fight
for life.
A Grantsburg dispatch says: Sheriff
Merrill of Anoka county, Minnesota, and
Detectives Lawrence and Murphy, of Min
neapolis, arrived this morning in search
of evidence of the assassination of the
Wise family. They were met at the train
by the sheriff and county attorney of this
county and also by Harry Balloon him
SELF who had been advised and had come
to town for the purpose.
The officers Immediately took Balloon to
the hotel, where he gave them the facts
supporting his alibi. He was in Grants
burg on Saturday, he said, attending a
morse SAFE ana remained IN the place un-
til Sunday morning, at $3.50 o'clock, when
he and his wife started for home
On their way home they met a number
Of people. They spent Sunday at home
several acquaintances calling upon them
during the day and evening. Balcom
further said that a certain horse dealer,
who has a camp near the Tamarack in
Pine county, stayed with him Sunday
night.
Inspector Murphy is engaged in looking
up Balcom's alibi this afternoon. The
probabilities are that some of the officers
will go to Pine county to find the man, If
it is possible, who Balcom says spent
Sunday night at the Balcom home.
Mrs. Balcom left for Minneapolis at
noon today intending, she said, to pay
visit to Anoka. Sheriff Merrill and In
spector Lawrence also returned by the
same train.

LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE


Messrs M w. Howard. j. M Mallett
and w. S. Morgan, Members Committee
Of Notification. Gentlemen: AS it is my
duty so it is my pleasure to accept the
nomination rendered me by the Peoples
party national convention, and in so do
ing [ assure you gentlemen that, stand
ing upon the platform adopted at Cincin-
natl, my unceasing effort will be TO so
comport myself during this campaign,
and SO act if elected president that
may not be judged unworthy of the trust
reposed in me. And, as is meet, l make
this an occasion to declare my beliefs,
nv aims my purposes, without reserva-
ton and with such eXplicitneSs as may.
l present this exposition of my political
faith sure that Populists hold it in COM
mon with me- sure that it will find ac-
ceptance with the great BODY or the
American people, sure that when II does
this will be a better and happier lana
to live in.
And now to come to that explicit and
direct declaration of my views that Is
demanded by the occasion, OF views SO
equally shared and upheld by PopuLsts
that / feel that one great heartbeat
common to US all must be the impulse TO
their advocacy. views so held IN com
mon that it is only in keeping with the
spirit of truth that in now, addressing
the American public 1 should speak OF
them as our views, rather than as my
views, impersonally rather than person
ally. l proclaim this declaration OF Pop
ulist faith, which is my faith:
THAT our democracy may be deInoc-
racy in fact as well as IN name we Holu
that the principles of direct legislation,
the initiative and referendum, must be
extended in our system of government
and in party management to the end that
the people shall be able to govern them
selves, veto the acts of their representa-
tives who may prove unfaithful to their
trust become their own legislators II
their representatives refuse to obey their
commands carry out their will. Thus
would the people ever hold the supreme
power in their own hands, thus would
they put those servants in great measure
beyond the reach of temptation by put
ting it beyond the power of those
servants to sell out the interests of their
masters, thus would a government Of, by
and for the people become fact on earth,
thus would the power of corrupt bosses
be DESTROYED So do we proclaim
that there are two great domestic ques-
tions Of infinite concern to the material
interests and moral welfare of our peo-
ple that press for solution, % the money
question, and (2) the railroad question
which involves the trust question. And
these questions we would solve by the is

ander at the point of a revolver, was ar
raigned for sentenced.
When asked if he had any excuse to
offer as to why he should not be SEN
fenced, WasileWski, who is of a highly
nervous temperament, broke out in a Sc
ere denunciation of Alexander, declar-
ing. with vigorous gesture, that he was
as innocent of the crime of which he
was convicted as the county attorney
who prosecuted him
Becoming too weak to stand, he sat
down, and further denounced Alexander,
whom he accused of trying to get him
out of the way for the reason that he
knew too much concerning his alleged
attempted bribery of Capitol Commits
sioner John De Laittre, who had him in
dicted. He claimed that Alexander had
offered to pay him 500 if he would not
tell what he knew of the bribery charge.
At this point he tainted, and his wife,
who stood by him through the ordeal
with cup of ice water, bathed his brow
and brought him to.
Upon seeing the pitiable condition Of
the man, Judge Elliott decided to defer
sentence until Monday morning.
