rAwARrEo BY ACCIDENT.
Bold Plan for the Relief of Pittsburg
Prisoners.

Pittsburg, July 30.--One of the bold
est and most systematic plans for the
release of one or more prisoners from
Riverside penitentiary was thwarted
today by accident. The first theory
advanced, when the matter was dis,
covered, seemed to point to the release
of Alexander Berkman, the anarchist,
who is serving 22.year sentence for
the shooting OF II. G. Frick, during the
big Homestead strike OF 1899, but the
conclusion reached tonight by Director
Muth, of the Allegheny police depart
ment, is that the real object of the res
cueis was to secure the freedom of the
real estate swindler. j. G. Boyd, VIII o
is serving a seven-year sentence in the
penitentiary. This opinion is shared
by the Pittsburg police officials also,
and many reasons are brought forward
to confirm this theory. Among these
are the fact that Boyd is wanted in
nearly every state in the Union on
charges of real estate swindles, as
confederates all over the country, and
is accounted one of the wealthiest pris-
oners in Riverside. 1t is argued that
Berkman's friends could not afford the
expensive outfit which was used in this
instance, and their resources could not
possibly equal those of Boyd's confed-
crates.
The plan by which the rescuers
hoped to reach the inside of the peni-
tentiary wall was by tunnel from the
cellar of house on Sterling street,
nearly opposite one of the gates. Their
work is remarkable, considering the
obstacles to be overcome. lnvestiga-
tion today shows that the tunnel was
over 200 feet long, but becuase of its
zig-zag character had not reached the
prison wall. One OF the officers who
crawled q distance of POI feet in the
dark passageway today was compelled
to return before reaching its end by
reason of the foul gas arising. From
this it is inferred that the tunnel had
tapped sewer. Director Muth, how
ever, believes that the dead body OF
one OF the tunnelers will be discovered
tomorrow when the tunnel is opened
from the surface. He thinks the man
was overcome by gas, and that his
companions fled.
The elaborate arrangements that had
been made for completing the tunnel
and for providing for the safety of the
diggers is source OF amazement to
the authorities. An electric bell, con.
nected with the entrance of the tunnel
in the cellar. was used in giving the
workers and watchers an instant warn.
ing, and an air pump had been used to
keep the tunnel free from gas. 1t is
estimated that the electric plant and
other apparatus used cost the would-be
liberators at least $4,000.

neighborhood of Mukden and the dis
trict northward has assumed such pro-
portions that the Russian column has
been compelled to retreat from Muk-

the station at the Ajasandzian, where
on July it was surrounded by Chinese
troops. Reiniorcements were sent and
the withdrawal of the column was
effected to Daschizao with 4s casual

Threw Cigarette Into Powder at the
CannOn's Mouth.
Springfield, ILL.,, July 31.-Ten per-
SONS were injured, two fatally, by the
premature discharge of the evening gun
at the National guard encampment,
Camp Lincoln, this evening. The ex-
plosion was caused by some one throw
ing lighted cigarette into powder
which had fallen to the ground. The
accident occurred in the presence OF o
large crowd of visitors to the camp.
Corporal Balsley and Jesse Rupert,
acting quartermaster, were loading the
evening gun, assisted by several men of
Battery A. A sack of powder was
placed In the mouth of the cannon, and
Rupert was about to drive the charge
home. The powder sack was too long
for the gun, and in forcing it into the
cannon the canvas was torn, some of
the powder falling to the ground just
below the nozzle of the cannon. Priv
ate Rupert stood facing the gun, ram
rod in hand. Balsley also faced the
gun, while number of soldiers and
civilians were gathered around, despite
the commands OF the officers in COM
mand to keep back. Suddenly some
one uttered the words:
'tWatch them scatter"
There was flash of powder on the
ground, the flames were communicated
to the powder which was to be fired in
the cannon aud the gun was discharg-
ed. The ramrod was broken and shot
from the cannon and Balsley and Rup-
pert had their clothes blown from their
bodies. which were blackened with
powder. The others staggered back,
burned and blinded. The wounded
were taken to the hospitals.
Some say it was man in uniform
who threw the cigarette, but an eye
witness declares it was q small boy.

Washington, July 80.-Commis-
sioner Hermann, of the general land
office, has decided to continue for a
reasonable time the suspension of about
80 whole townships in Los Angeles,
San Francisco and Visalia land dis
tricts in California, from disposition
under the agricultural law, on represen-
tations that they contain valuable oil
deposits. A thorough inquiry into the
true character Of the lands is now in
progress. Petitions and sworn protests
have been posted with the general land
office, setting out that vast areas Of
non.agricultural lands in California
have every indication of containing val-
liable deposits OF oil. The land office
last February ordered the suspension of
these townships. in view of the con-
troversy over their value as oil lands.
The action is in line with a recent de-
cision of Judge Ross, Of the United
States circuit court for the southern
district of Californa.

QUESTION OF SUPPLIES.
Army Cannot Forage in China Must
Carry All 1t Needs.

New Yo-k, Aug. 1.-Brigadier-Gen-
eral James Fl. Wilson departed tonight
for San Francisco, where he will en-
bark August 8 on the Japanese steamer
America Maru for China. He was, ac-
companied by his aids, Lieutenants ].
H. Reeves and G. S. Turner. When
asked II he thought the various foreign
forces in China could be merged in
homogeneous whole, the general said
that such a thing was possible, and
that it depended the largely on the
skill aud tact of the generalissimo. In
view of the pressing needs of the situa-
tion, he said he felt sure there would
be no great difficulties in the organiza,
tion of the allied forces. He said there
would be much preparation required
for the advance, on account of the scar
city of forage along the routes to Pekin.
. 1T will be necessary, said he, for
an army to take great quantities OF
supplies. The country is poor. 1t is
low plain, almost devoid of vegetation.
There are no trees of any account which
could be used for firewood. The ma.
tives even scrape the bark from the
trees to get fuel. They burn weeds
and rice stalks. There is little to be
got by foraging, and there is practic.
ally nothing to plunder. and an army
would have to take supplies OF every
kind, including fuel and water. Fur.
ther than that, it is difficult to say
much. and do not wish to be placed
in the position of judging the situation
before | am thoroughly familiar with
it.
'There are no mountains or other
natural obstacles. There are no strong
Notifications. 1t is easy, of course, to
throw up entertainments. The Chinese
will have the same difficulties to con-
tend with as far as Supplies are con.
Cerned as the allies must encounter. 1t
will be impossible to maintain great
hordes of men without something on
which they may feed. In these mill
tary operations the great base will be
the sea. Supplies can be brought up
the Pei Ho river and its branches to
within IL miles of Pekin and then
there is the railroad. Even ii it is
torn up, still it will not be so dicffiult
to get it into operation. The Chinese
have only vague notion OF Western
tactics. They have had German drill
masters, but generally they have been
drilling only when they felt like it.
They are good fighters when they are
winning, and they take killing we'll.
They do not fight we'll when they begin
to lose, and they are easily stampeded."

FIESTA WAS a FIAsCo.


The People Of Manila UnenthnsinstIe
over the Amnesty.
Manila, p. l.. Aug. 1.-The two
days. fiesta in Manila, organized by
Senor Paterno and his POLITICAL follow
els TO commemorate the amnesty, re-
suited In fiasco. The people were
passive, nnenthnsiastic and not even
interested. Failing to perceive any
tangible. effective results Of amnesty,
they say they can see no reason for eel
ebrating. Judge Taft and his COL
leagues OF the commission felt con-
strained to decline to attend the banquet
as they had been informed that the
speeches would favor independence un-
der American protection, and they
could not passively lend their acquies-
cence by being present. Senior Pater-
no, foreseeing the suspension OF the
banquet without the Americans, fran
ticalIy appealed to them to attend,
promising that there should be no
speeches.
The provost's cautions were extreme.
The guards were doubled both days.
and the authorities forbade the display
of Filipino flags, and OF pictures Of
President Mckinley and Aguinaldo
fraternally framed.
The fiesta is generally considered to
have been premature and unfortunate.
During last weeks scouting 10
Americans were killed and IA wound
ed. One hundred and eighty Filipinos
were killed and so taken prisoners.
Forty insurgent rifles were captured.

ALI Except Won Ketteler, German, Were

Washington, August 2,--The effect
Of the days news from China was to
freshen the hope that the government
can soon get in direct communication
with Minister Conger. The mass of
testimony as to his being alive as late
as the 22d inst. is now SO great as to
warrant the department in resuming
considerations OF projects for the future.
With all its anxiety to get Mr.. Conger
and the Americans in Pekin safely
away, the department is proceeding with
proper precaution, and is by no means
disposed to accept any proposition that
would unduly jeopardize their lives.
Such might be the result Of an off -hand
acceptance of the proposal to have the
Chinese government deliver the foreign
ministers at Tien Tsin, for it is real
ized that the escort might be overpow-
cred by superior forces of Boxers on
the way to the sea. The state depart
ment has come TO the conclusion that
Mr.. Conger himself is the best person
to judge of the conditions under which
his deliverance shall be effected, and,
therefore. it Ia again looking to the
Chinese government to place it in COM
munioation with Mr.. Conger, In order
that 1t may be advised by him. That
requirement was the first of the condi-
tions laid down by President Mckinley
in his answer to the appeal Of the Chi
nese emperor, SO that the situation dip
lomatically cannot be said to have been
materially changed by thy develop
ments Of today.
