heelers a large proportion of them were
sold to saloon keepers at a big discount.

taken before Judge Baker. of the United
States Court at Indianapolis, and given jail

PERIL OF MISSIONARIES
The Chinese "Roxers" Threaten Ameri-
cans at Shangtung.
WARSRIPs OF SMALL USE.
Situation Complicated, ms II Is Hard
to Say Whether Germany OF
China Is Chnrgcable With
Protecting Them.

Washington, March 20.--The secretary
of the navy has received a cabBegram
from Admiral Watson stating that the
gunboat Wheeling has proceeded to Ia
kn. She will be relieved by the Concord
about May 10 and will go, as usual, in
the summer to Unalaska- on the Alas
kan coast ua
The state department is IN quandary
to devise means to render effective pro-
lection to the American missionaries at
Shangtung. The difficulty hes in the fact
that pthe missionaries have m most cases
gone as far as 200 miles inland and are
thus beyond reach of any a5d that can be
extended from warship.
Minister Conger's advices show that
the situation is further complicated by
the fact that the location of the present
troubles is so far inland as to~maEe it
difficult to determine whether or not the
Boxers" are operating in Shangtung or
across the border in Pechili province.
lf the threatened missionaries are in
west Shangtung, then a further question
arises as to who is chargeable with their
protection, China or Germany. The ex-
act extent of the German sphere or in
fuence is not definitely known here. 1t
is 200 miles from Kiao-Chou, the German
seaport, to the west border of Shang-
tung; but, inasmuch as the Germans have
claimed exclusive control of railroad fran
chises and like concessions throughout
the whole province, it is presumed that
they have assumed military responsibility
as well.
Germany Blocks China.
At any rate, the Chinese government
has been deferred from attempting to cX-
ercise military authority in that section
by the attitude of the German authori-
ties and that is the reason. for the in
ability of the Picking government to meet
Mr.. Conger's demand for punatory meas
ures against the BOXERS"
The German minister at Picking has in
formed Mr.. Conger that his government
is willing to extend to the American mis-
sionaries within the German sphere of
| influence the same measure of protection
as is accorded to German missionaries.
This, however, is not very reassuring
in view of the fact that the German mil
itary forces in Shangtung have not, so
far as is known, been augmented to a
point where they are equal to the police
in the whole province.
| The state department has not been ad-
vised that these German forces have ex-
tended their operations into western
Shangtung, where the imperilled mis-
sionaries are located, nor has there been
any assurance that any expedition is or
ganized in that direction.

Rich Haul by Frcnch Ronbcr..

Paris, March 20.-An audacious rob
berry of 100000 francs has been commit
ted from the Northern railroad. The
company, which three times weekly de-
posits large sums with the Bank of
France, sent 100000 francs. of which
amount 100000 francs was in small bills.
This was placed in satchcl, and the
money was conveyed from the station to
the bank in n cart, which was in charge
of two clerks. Before they started one
of the clerks placed the satchel beside the
coachman. Two men then approached
and engaged the attention of the clcrl,
and coachman, while a third man picked
up the satchel and bolted with it, The
loss was not noticed until it was too late
TO apprehend the robbers.

Lead Works burned.

New York, March 20.-Fire broke out
in large frame shed at Port Richmond
N. Y, owned by the Jewett White Lead
works. Three buildings, which were all
new, including the one in which the fire
started, We're destroyed, together with
their contents. A large brick building,
also the property of the Jewett White
Lead works, containing machinery,
caught fire, but only slight damage was
done. The fire was got under control
after damage estimated at 100000 had
been done. 1t is supposed that the fire
originated from a defective electric light
wire
