MILITIA IS READY
Governor Stephens Still Hesitates to
 Issue the Order

Jefferson City, Mo-, June Ex-Governor Stephens says this evening that everything is in readiness for calling out the national guard of Missouri to quell disorder in St. Louis, but he will not issue the call ex- cept as a last resort. It will cost, he says 5000 to land 2,500 men in St. Louis, and much per day to maintain them, and as there is no appropriation for that purpose he does not know how the legislature woul1 view a deficiency of $100,OO0 for maintain ing troops in St. Louis. It may require an extra session of the legislature to appro- pyiate the money. He says
 A rumor is current here that Attorney General Crow would proceed in the supre me court to oust Mayor Zeigenheim from of- flee for failure to perform his official duties in connection with the strike. General Crow denies that any such action Is to be taken at this time.

MISSISSIPPI MOB IACTED
 WITH LITTLEsIF ANY PROOF

Biloxi, Miss, June 1O.-Lynch law ran rampant in this section last night Two negro men were lynched for one 1:a..,s crime, and it is not absolutely certain that either victim of mob law was guilty. Hen ry Askew and Ed Russ, held as suspects, and against whom the proof was infinitely small, if indeed, it existed at all, were taken out and strung up to a tree in d thicket, just behind the railway station at Mississippi City. The law-abiding people of this section, while confident that the ne- cessity existed for vigorous action, deplore and condemn the dual lynching. District Attorney White had promised that they would be brought to trial on Monday, and yesterday at a mass meeting, held at this place. the citizens promised to support the district attorney in his efforts to have jus tice done through the proper legal chan nels.
 Early last night Sheriff Ramsey, in order to protect Askew and Russ from mob Sio- lence, moved them to a bathhouse. After midnight the mob assembled near the bath house and, after overpowering a deputy sheriff with whom the Sheriff sought to

protect his prisoners, dragged the two ne- gToes away. The crowd, which was sup posed to know nothing of the negroes hid ing place did not stop at the prison, but went straight to the bathhouse.
 The negroes were tied, back to back, and swung up to the same tree. Their bodies were riddled with bullets, and after death ensued. were set on fire. The nausea ting smell of burning flesh could be detected for miles around. Sheriff Ramsey and Marshal Moseley reached the scene after the execu- ton. They saw the members of the mob but it is stated "were unable to recognize them on account of trees casting shadows on their faces"
 About 100 men gathered near the scene of the.crime, waiting for the appearance of thet posse with their prisoners but were disappointed. The mob was impatient and did it's work when the first tree was reached.
 On June Christiana Winterstein, a 13- year-old school girl was outraged and murdered, about two miles from Biloxi, while on her way home from school exer- cises. Askew and Russ, both of whom had been in the vicinity of the place where the outrage was committed that day, were charged with the crime.

Tien Tsin, June 10.-The specitl train that went to examine the line and reconnoiter returned last night. The railway was found clear two miles beyond Yang Tsuh. The engineers, with the guards, walked mic and a half further They found the ties and two bridges burned and the railway torn up.

Hotchkiss and other guns were mounted on a in front of the engine. The rest of the guns were mounted in the center of the train. A second train left at Il o'clock with coo British, Japanese, Rus sian and French troops. Repairing material and new rails were taken along.
 There are thirty-one foreign war vessels at Taku. A message from Pekin to the ad- miral asserts that the situation is hourly growing more dangerous for foreigners A. those at Pekin have taken refuge in Legation street. The civilian forces are under arms to fight with the regulars if necessary. The approaches to Legation street are surrounded by bowling mobs of undisciplined soldiery, with cannon and bayonets. The international guard were holding off the mob, which screamed insults and threats

OVATION TO SENATOR CLARK
Thousands Awaiting His Coming Great
 Enthusiasm Manifested

Butte, Mont, June 10.-The Hon. w. A. Clark reached home this afternoon, and was given tremendous ovation. When the train pulled in several thousand people were waiting, and as the senator stepped from the he was greeted with cheers.
 A band of musicians had been engaged. When the senator had been almost carried to his carriage, the crowd formed in line, and headed by the band led the procession up town. It was an impromptu affair, but the enthusiasm made up for the lack of organization, merchants, miners, working men and all sorts of men, made the long march from the depot to the senator's home. It is estimated that 4,O00 men were in line, while many times that number lined the streets along the route and added their cheers to those of the marchers. Arriv- ing at his home, which had been handsome ly decorated, the senator managed to make his way through the press of people to the veranda, where he addressed the crowd Among other things he said
 "I was elected by the representatives o1 this state as their free choice for United States senator. Ever since that have been harrassed by the most devilish persecu- tion that man has ever been subjected to. It was my intention to devote my time and labor to this work There came to Washington. however, gang of perjurers who disseminated their vile falsehoods and found committee that was willing to lis- ten to them, and spread their perjuries to the world. I was not allowed in many cases to introduce evidence to refute the charges.
 "When this man Chandler had bulldozed the committee into reporting against me, after consultation with my friends, with drew from the senate. At that time there happened to be a man in Helena at the head of the state government who was fearless and had the courage to do what was right. did not know whom he would appoint but I knew it would be some one who would be credit to this state and not one of this gang of cut-throats. There is no question of the validity of that ap- pointment."

 The scene that followed was heart-rend- ing Under the wreckage were inanimate bodies, while groans and shrieks of the in jured filled the air. Those who were not injured were frantic in their efforts to To- cate their companions. Calls were sent out for assistance, and corps of doctors were soon at the scene. Two cars were equipped with cots and with doctors and assistants were dispatched from this city to the wreck.
 The wounded were placed on the cars and conveyed to the Elmwood station, where two ambulances from the hospital were in waiting. Lewis c.

NOTHING FROM CONGER
State Department Says Failure to Com
 municate is Unl al

Washington, June 10.-Not word had been received by the state department or the navy department tonight regarding the situation in China. Minister Conger has been in almost daily communication with the state department for the past week, so that the failure to hear from him is some what unusual. The general interpretation gut upon his silence is that affairs have remained practically unchanged. At the same time the minister has been fully ad- vised by the officials here as to his course in dealing with the situation. so that he would be fully prepared to act without further communication with the state de- partment. Several dispatches came to the navy department during the day but none of them was from Admirals Remey at Ma nila Kempff in charge of the Asiatic squadron and now at Takku.
 The latters force will be increased soon by the arrival of the Monocacy and the these vessels carry the available force of men subject to Minister Conger's needs will be considerably increased
 The Associated Press reporter visited the Chinese minister, MT. Wu, tonight, but that diplomat said that he had not received a word from his government respecting the boxers. The minister explained that his government, unlike European governments, did not resort to the use of the cable free ly in communicating with him. Mir Wu inquired eagerly for the last press dis patches from China, and was told of the departure of 1,500 foreign troops from Tien Tsin for Pekin today, and that English troops at Hong Kong were in readiness to proceed north on the boxers He did not comment other than to express the hope that the situation would become improved soon.

COssacks A Attacked by Mob

London, June 11-On Friday, according to a dispatch to the Daily Express from Shanghai, a force of Cossacks, reconnoiter- ing outside of Tien Tsin was attacked by a rabble of thousands, armed with spears and swords and some rifles. The Cossacks fired upon their assaiants, killing several. A Russian lieutenant was wounded by a bullet in the stomach.
 There is a serious rising at Nan King. Yesterday the mob is said to have at tackled the palace of the viceroy.
 All dispatches out of Pekin are censored in the interest of the empress. The deter imitation of the foreign ministers to in- crease the garrison at Pekin leads to a belief in foreign circles in Tien Tsn and Shanghai that the powers will never leave the Chinese capital but will make China another Egypt.
