LONDON SHY ON
 CHINESE NEWS The Complications Are Sti|
 Worse Confused. SEVERAL IMPERIAL ED|CTS The Emperor is Anxious to Gain the Good Grace of Germany and
 Russia in the Peace
 Negotiations.

London, October 1.-3:3O a. m.-Beyond a number of imperial edicts, which throw in still worse confusion the complicated Chinese situation, there is little in today's news to arrest attention. From Shanghai comes a report that the allies seized shan Hai Kwan.
 All the news with regard to the edicts emanate from Shanghai. According to the adyices in connection with the edict order ing Grand Councillor Kran Kung to offer oblations before the coffin of Baron ~von Ketteler, and the edict directing that Ii Hung Chang visit punishment on the of- lenders responsible for foreign outrages and the decree ordering that funeral hon. ors be paid in Pekin and Tokio to the mur- dered chancellor of the Japanese legation, Emperor Kwang Su has addressed further letters to the Czar and the Mikado renew ing his request for their aid in the peace negotiations.
 Various opinions are expressed to the importance of the edicts The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post says:
 '"The severe punishments ordered by Emperor Kwang, will only mean a money fine. There are traces of Ii Hung Chang's hands under American influence in the edcts.'
 On the other hand the Standards Shang- hai correspondent remarks:
 'The Empress now realizes the true na- ture of the crisis. After consulting the Emperor she sumomned the court digni- taries and, on assembling, while she re- mained silent the Emperor in a loud voice delivered tirade lasting couple of hours.
 Furious war preparations are reported from Shanghai

 John Wilwin of Chicago, cut by glass. R. Artman of Ray County, Mo-, bruised about the body.
 Thomas McNeil of Derby, Kas., injured about head
 The train left Oklahoma City forty-five
 minutes late, and was running forty miles an hour when Engineer John Rain felt A jar and found the trucks of the tender broken loose. He reversed his engine and
 attempted to slow up the train. In a few
 seconds the baggage and express and mail cars were off the track, and a moment later
 the smoker was forced into the air by the
 momentum of the train, being toppled over and turned upside down with a crash. The
 day coach following left the track partially.
 and then the whole train came to a stand- still.
 Everybody in the smoker was more or less
 hurt. Thomas Mayer, a hardware travelling
 man from Oklahoma City, was thrown to the roof with terrific force and his skull was fractured. He struck the lamp and his
 head and face were fearfully cut He was killed instantly. Edmund Rock, a cattleman from JonRha, Texas, was hurled half way the length of the car, and after being taken out started to walk, but fell over and died
 in few moments from internal injuries. With the exception of the Vandever boy. none of those injured appear seriously in- jured.

MR. CROKER REPLIES
 TO GOV. ROOSEVELT T

New York, September 30.-Richard Crok- CT, after reading the speech of Governor Roosevelt last night at Kansas City, in which the Governor attacked the New York ice trust and mentioned MT. Croker and other New York City Democrats by name as being in the matter, said:
 "They must be very hard pressed indeed for something to talk about when they att tempt to make me or the ice trust a na- tional issue. bought stock in the American Ice Company for the same reason that I have bought other stocks-because l thought 1t a good investment. have been buying and selling stocks for years. and expect to continue doing so. And why does
The age-herald., 1900-10-01

Roosevelt make me and other Democrats who were interested in the company largely the ones at whom his denunciations are levelled? Why does not he attack the Re- publicans. who were interested in the ice trust?
 Why does not he attack his friends who created and maintained the ice trust, and alone ware responsible for the advance in the price of ice? Why does he harp on the ice trust anyhow?
 "As MT. Bryan says, the ice trust Is surely local affair, and Is not national issue at.all. The Democrats are engaged in a bitter and relentless warfare against all trusts, but 1t seems that Roosevelt can see no harm in any save the ice trust"

Mrs. Murray's Comparison.

Many complimentary echoes are still
coming up from the able speech deliv-
cred not long ago at the Des Moines
0owa) Mothers Congress, by Mrs,
Anna J. Murray, of this city.
In stating her case, Mrs. Murray said
among other things:
81 regard the present influence of
thu church upon the celored race SO a
hindrance to its advancement, because
of the ignorance Of many OF the colored
preachers The colored neople have
spent of their own means $a7 900 600 for
the church and only $40, ,OOO,O OGO for ed.
ucation."
She strongly pictured the kindergar-
ten as the starting point of all proper

Won Out Against a Brilliant Parade.

Speaking of Booker T. Washington's
felicitous address before Bethel Literary
and Historical Association here short
time ago, a correspondent of the Hunt
ington, W. Va, Spokesman, made the
following comment, all of which and
more is true;
"The grea lest feature in his visit here
was the intense interest which his race
displayed toward him. Regardless of
the Mystic Shriners, who were visiting
the clly, and large parade with bril-
liant fl ileworks which took place the
evening of his address, fully 5000 of
Washington's progressive colored and
white society turned out to greet the
professor and to do him homage. Mr.
Washington may well be called leader
who hss not only talked, but has placed
bis views into actual works."
