WASHINGTON, April 80. - Consul
Fowler has included in his annual re-
port published by the bureau OF for
eign MINER of the State depart
ment. a short chapter devoted to the
missionary troubles in Shangtung and
northern China. He refers to the
peaceful conditions reported by him
In his preceding report and says:
Unfortunately the story is now diff
ferent. Since Christmas there has
been nothing but trouble. Riots, muir
der and acts of the most diabolical ma
ture have been committed upon the
native adherents of the missionaries.
The situation grew SO bad that the
Germans sent inland a strong military
force, burning down n or two VIII
lagos and taking back with them sew
eral of the leaders of the villages as
hostages for future peace.
"On several occasions Americans and
Germans escaped by diplomacy and
pluck.
The indemnity for these outrages
has just been paid, and the whole west
ern part of the province is in a fer
ment and much care will be necessary
to pass the winter without the loss of
foreign life.
Several causes for this change can
be found. The floods and famine nat
urally raise disturbers in all lands.
The governor, who SO successfully kept
the peace, was removed, and the pres
ent incumbent is known to be opposed
to foreigners and things foreign, and
when the governor is hostile n can
count on local officials being the same.
There was one noble exception.
The official at Ichaufu did all in his
power at great personal risk to pro-
tect the lives and property of our fell
low-countrymen in that city. While
suppressing open riot and anarchy ina
tive children were being burned alive)
he caused the death of some of the
cut-throats by ordering his soldiers
to stop the tumult, and for this he
was cashiered."
The consul shows that the American
population in the province has in
creased from 105 to $50 in one year,
most of whom are connected with the
American missions. He expressed
surprise at the neglect Of Americans
coming to China to take out trans
ports, especially in Port Arthur and
Russian territory. Much trouble and
inconvenience, he says, would be saw
ed if the various boards supplied their
missionaries with these transports.
On this point the consul says:
Il have been officially informed by
one mission in this province that they
owed their lives to she possession by
one of them of a passport that had
been sealed by the Pekin authorities
shortly after the coup last fall. These
Americans were in deadly peril; in
fact, they had expected every hour to
be their last. The mob was ugly
extremely dangerous-because the en-
peror no longer reigned. There was
no government, therefore no n to
punish them AS a last resort, n OF
the Americans showed them his pass
port, pointing to the date in Chinese
with the big seal owe 1.-THE date
date was a month after the coup,
The government at Pekin still lived
the mob became cautious, troops ar
rived, and our people were saved. The
cost of the passport was 81. 1t saved
the lives of three Americans. and
China much money in indemnities.N

FORESTS BURNING.
Many Villagers Placed in Jeopardy
by the FIarnes-TOwn Saved by
Heroic Work.

MARINETTE, Wis. April 30.-For-
est fires ragged furiously north of Fish
err, Mich, along the right of way OF
the Wisconsin & Michigan railway, on
Saturday and Sunday. The property
damage will be large.
The town of Amos, Mich, was al
most wiped out, entailing a loss OF
$780, 900 or more.
Considerable cedar stock at Nathan,
Mich, was also destroyed.
The Wisconsin & Michigan ran a
special train up the line Sunday to
rescue the fire-stricken people in the
small villages along the road. All the
inhabitants of the towns of Amos and
Nathan were taken to Pembine for
safety.
1t is said the Wisconsin & Michigan
passenger train, which left here last
night, was unable to get further north
than Fisher. At the latter place only
a heroic resistance saved the town.
Forest fires are burning everywhere
north of here, and further damage will
result unless there is rain. The coun-
try is very dry and the fires spread
rapidly.
Fires are said to be burning along
the right of way of the Milwaukee
road, north of Ellis Junction.

A VERY SAD ACCIDENT
Was That Which Caused the Death

Was That which Caused the Death
of Mrs. Wilson at
HAVANA, April 30.-Matanzas is in
mourning over the death of Mrs.
Wilson. the wife OF Major General
James H. Wilson, military governor
of the department OF MatanZas and
Santa Clara, who died Saturday after
noon last from the effects OF burns
received that morning by her dress
catching fire from a match, on which
she had stepped. Mrs. Wilson had be-
come endeared to all classes of the
community, and her death has brought
forth expressions of sympathy not only
from the residents of Matanzas. but
from people throughout the island,
who have ~telegraphed condolences and
expressions Of sympathy TO Gen. Will
son and his bereaved family.
Ii appears that Mrs. Wilson, accom-
panied by her daughter, was taking her
daily drive in a light wagon when
the accident occurred. About ten min
utes after she had started it was dis
covered that her dress was on fire, and
it was presumed that she had trod on
a match, which had ignited her cloth
ing. The driver Immediately stopped
the vehicle, and, with the aid OF Mrs.
Wilson's daughter, did everything pos
sible to e~xtinguish the flames; but she
was badly burned before this could be
effected. Mrs. Wilson was then placed
in a coach and taken home, suffering
terribly. Gen. Wilson, who was at his
office, was Immediately notified and
hastened to the side of his wife. The
doctors who were summoned did all
that was possible to relieve her suffer-
ings, and for a short time hopes were
entertained that she would cover.
The burns and resulting shock proved
too much, however, and she expired,
after having suffered from 1920 q. m.
to 3:15 p. N.
The body of Mrs. Wilson has been
embalmed and Gen. Wilson and his
two daughters and his aides will ac-
company it north Tuesday on board
the United States transport Buford.
The interment will take place at Will
mington, Del.

THE LAW TURNED DOWN.

Railroad Trains Not Compelled to
Stop at County Seats-Unnecessary
Burden ON Commerce.
WASHINGTON, April 3O.-In the SUI
preme Court to-day an opinion was
handed down by Justice Brown in the
case of the Big Four railroad VS.. the
State of Illinois. The case involved
the constitutionality of the State law
of Illinois requiring all trains to stop
at county seats in the State, and the
proceeding originated in the form of
a petition for a writ of mandamus to
compel the "Knickerbocker'' special.
running between New York and St.
Louis, to stop at all county seat sta
tons.
The case was decided in favor of the
State by the Illinois State Supreme
Court, but to-day's opinion reverses
that Judgment on the ground that the
law in this CASE is a direct and un-
necessary burden on interstate COM
merce.

MIR. ROOTS SPEECH
Concerning the Monroe Doctrine
Seems Likely to Call Forth the At
tention of EurOpean Powers.

tention of European Powers.
NEW YORK, April 30.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Roots speech relative to
the Monroe doctrine is likely to be
productive of some diplomatic inquiries
at the State Department.
Herr o Holleben, the German Am
bassador, is in New York. and in his
absence the under officials of the en-
bassy are disinclined to talk for pub
LEGATION about the Secretary's remarks.
1t is emphatically asserted at the
embassy, however, that there is no in
tention on the part of Germany to
forcibly enter the western hemisphere.
By the act Of it's representatives at
The Hague the German government
recognized the Monroe doctrine, and it
does not propose, according TO the en-
bassy officials, to violate it.
1t is said there are nearly a million
German subjects in the southern part
of Brazil. A private letter received
from an American source near where
the German ~coloDists are established
declares there is no truth in the report
recently published that trouble was
brewing between the Germans and the
natives.
Those close to Secretary Root say it
is hardly likely that Germany, in the
present undeveloped state of her navy,
would like a crisis to be precipibated
at this point. The Secretary declined
last night to discuss his speech, and
he refused to be seen.
The Navy Department has been pay
ing attention to the colonization of
southern Brazil by German subjects,
and it is understood Rear Admiral
Bradford, chief Of the bureau of equip
ment, has considered the ACCESSIBILITY
of recommending that this government
enter into negotiations with Brazil to
establish a coaling station at Santa
Calarina.
