THE MEAT RUMOR
 IS NOT CREDITED
Ambassador White Knows Noth-
 ing of the Exclusive Order.
AMERICAN MEAT GAN PASS
The Alleged Orde. of Prince Hohenlohe to the Steamship Company is Denied-White Would Have
 Been Informed

Berlin, April 27-The German foreign office has no information regarding the alleged order of Prince Hohenlohe to the North German Lloyd Steamship company forbidding the company, under article 2S of the subventon contract to make fur ther importaions of, and to land in Ger man, Dutch or Belgian ports, fresh slaugh- tered meats. butter, dairy products or cereals, and it discredits the story.
 United States Ambassador White says he has heard nothing regarding the matter except what has appeared in the German press, and he believes that he would have been immediately informed had any such order been issued. For this reason he dis believes the statement of the Vorwaerts and the Nuremburg Tage Post.
 Today MT. White called upon Count von Buelow, the foreign secretary and handed him a copy of United States Consul Ma sons report upon the exports to the United States during the last quarter. Count von Buelow was much interested in noting the large increase. Tomorrow MT White will call upon him again and lay before him proof that American exports to Germany consist very largely of commodities indis- pensable to Germans.
 It has just become publicly known that Emperor William, during a recent conver- sation with Prince von Hohenlohe, refer red to the so-called Lex Heinz bill as a foolish measure.

OMAHA KID WON OUT
Was Given Decision Over Bernstein
 on a Foul

New York, April 27.-Oscar Gardner, the Omaha kid, gained the decision over Joe Bernstein of this city on foul at the end of the sixteenth round of what was to have been a twenty-five round fight at 124 pounds at the Broadway Athletic club to- night. Gardner opened the fight, using a hard left jab, followed by right hooks to the body and wore his opponent down with body blows. Time and time again Gardner feinted his opponent into awk- ward corners, but Bernstein took his pun ishment gamely and the bell always found him ready and willing. Once in the eighth round Gardner found the floor with his opponent on top. Gardner played heavily for the body, landing invariably and block ing all Bernsteins leads. Bernstein show ed good fighting from technical stand round it was anybody's fight.
 The fourteenth was particularly fierce, both doing serious damage to the face and body. Bernstein drew blood from Gard ner's cheek and was the floor twice from fast work. The rapid pace continued during the fifteenth, most of the fighting being done during ciinches with one hand free. Referee White had to caution Bern stein for hitting during the mix-ups.
 Bernstein had all the better of the six teenth round. but was disqualified for foul- ing as the bell rang. He undoubtedly transgressed as he held and hit after be- ing cautioned several times by the referee.

4 SENSATION IN
 STEEL CIRCLES Summons Has Been Issued for
 John W. Gates. ALSO PRESIDENT LAMBERT Seligman and Van Antwerp Make Com plaint That They Were Injured by False Statements of
 Chairman Gates
ALSO PRESIDENT LAMBERT

New York, April 27.-The Times will pub fish the following:
 Developments in the affairs of the Amer ican Steel and Wire company likely to cause a sensation were made known yes- terday (F'riday). Summonses are now in the hands of the law firm of Lamb and Voss, for Chairman John W. Gates of the companys board of directors and John Lambert, president, both of whom left this city for Chicago last Wednesday, and 1t is the intention of the attorneys to take further legal proceedings, which will in- clude efforts to get extradition papers if Messrs Gates and Lambert show no inten- ton of coming back to this city Magis- trate Teller, who granted the summonses at private hearing. has issued them in blank. so that the attorneys can fill in the dates at which they may be made returna- ble.
 The first complainant in the case was Washington s. Selgman. of Seligman and Van Antwerp. There was a second com- plainant whose name has been withheld. The summonses against Gates and Lam- bert were issued on application made un- der section Gil of the penal code of this
 state, headed misconduct of officers and employees of corporations"
 It reads in part as follows:
 "A director, officer, agent or employe of any corporation or joint stock association who knowingly concurs in making or pub fishing any written report exhibit or statement which is false is guilty of misdemeanor."
 Some time ago it was officially stated that the directors of the American Steel and Wire company, in view of the pros- porous condition of the corporations af- fairs, intended soon to retire s5,00O000 of the preferred stock, the total amount out standing of $40,000000 at par
 On the strength of this statement Wash ington Seligman and the other client of Lamb and Voss bought steel and wire pre- ferred stock. When MT Gates shut down twelve of the companys mills and gave in terviews on Monday. April 18th, in which he was quoted as saying that the steel and iron business was in bad shape and that the demand for the products of his company were hardly 70 per cent in vol ume of what it should be, the common and preferred stock began to tumble. They have never recovered their Toss. MT. Gates was quoted as prophesying on l the same day that the price of steel rails would fall to about S22 a ton in week, | which it by no means did, and the men | who later procured summonses against l him specify this statement as unjustifiable.

The boxers revolt has begun in the

STA is the only power prepared to deal
with the situation in an effective way.
by sending strong military force to
Pekin. but there will be grave risks of
war with Japan if this be done. and
European complications will arise If
there has not been prearranged pol
icy sanctioned by the powers
Dispatches from Pekin at midnight
indicated that the Tsung Ii Yamen
had protested strongly against the en-
ployment of large foreign forces In the
capital and that the instruction was
spreading rapidly throughout the
country.
A trained official who has spent many
years in China last night said that the
situation could hardly be worse and
that the DoWager Empress was appar-
emily playing the game directly into
Russia's interests. There were from
10000 to 10000 Russian troops close
at hand and there was nothing to pre-
vent their entering Pekin if they chose
to do so.
The Mail correspondent in ST. Peters
burg says there is not the least doubt
that Russia's intentions are to act in
dependently of the other powers. even
if momentarily seeming to be in &C.
cord with them. A report has reached
st. Petersburg from Shanghai to the
effect that the Russian government has
compelled the Chinese authorities to
agree to the construction of a Russian
line of railway from Kiah-Kta, about
one hundred and ten miles due south
of Lake Baikal, to Pekin. The whole
of northwestern China would thereby
be brought within the grip OF Russia.

LONDON, June 1.-THE return of
the Emperor cf China and the Dow
ager Empress to Pekin from the sum
Gler palace is regarded as a hopeful
sign; but otherwise there is no ia
vorable news from China, with the
exception that there is evidence of a
continued perfect understanding among
the powers, and the announcement
that the international guards will prob
ably arrive at Pekin to-day. Should
these prove insufficient to restore or
der, Russia is apparently preparing to
deal with the. crisis, judging from a
dispatch from st. Petersburg, which
follows:
AS result Of an understanding
between the Russian government and
the other powers, dispatch has been
sent to Port Arthur ordering that g.
0G0 men of the Russian garrison there
shall be held in immediate readiness
tC leave for Tien Tsin whenever the
Russian minister at Pekin asks for
their assistance, or circumstances re-
quire their intervention.
bai, dated to-day, 1000 Russians, with
twenty guns, have already been landed
at Tien Tsin and are marching in the
direction of Pekin.
Shanghai rumors, however, must be
accepted with caution
The London Missionary Society re-
ceived a telegram from Tien Tsin yes
terday saying all the society's mis-
sionaries in North China are safe; but
that those situated west of the city of
Pekin have been abliged to seek refuge
at the British legation.
A dispatch from Pekin, dated Satur-
day evening, June 9, says:
"a body of boxers armed with
knives, have looted and burned the
Pekin club, race track and grand stand
buildings.
Another edict issued this morning
orders the military governor to police
the streets with cavalry and infantry
Nevertheless, in the neighborhood of
the legation the street continues
thronged with the toughest kind of a
mob ready to break out at the slightest
provocation.
United States Minister Conger has
sent twenty marines, and the British
minister Sir Claude M. Macdonald,
twelve marines to guard the Methodist
mission compound, where members of
all denominations of Protestants had
gathered The Roman Catholics as
sembled in the North Cathedral, West
Pekin. have a small guard of French
marines, but the converts have been
we'll armed by Bishop Favier and will
desperately resist attack.
Business is practically at a stand
still Constantly increasing streams of
boxers parade the streets at their
pleasure, much to the alarm of the mer-
chants, although. thus far, there has
been no footing of native shops
