OF shots.
st. Louis June 10.-The day just end
ed has been one of the most eventful
st. Louis Transit lines began more than
one month ago. There We're numerous
fencounters between strikers and other
individuals and the constituted authori-
ties resulting in four deaths and the
wounding of four or more persons, most
ly strikers. One of the latter will die.
The dead are: G. Edward Thomas,
striking conductor on the Chouteau ave-
nue. line, shot in the breast by deputy
sheriff, died on way to hospital; George
Rine, striking motorman on Delmar
avenue line, shot in abdomen by deputy
sheriff, died at hospital; Fred Boehm,
aged citizen shot and instantly killed
while standing in his front yard, by
deputy sheriff; Ed. Burkhart, striking
conductor on Delmar avenue line, shot
In head.
The wounded are Oscar Marvin, con-
ductor on the Lee avenue line, shot in

Smith, shot in right arm and breast, not
serious; Charles Ludwig, shot in hand.

The day was quiet until this afternoon
when the police were taken off num-
Der of street car lines for the purpose of
giving them a rest and to test the abil-
ity of the Transit company to operate
without friction. Cars We're in opera ton
during the day time on all the lines of
the Transit company except the South
western. Tonight cars We're run under
police protection until midnight on the
Park avenue, Olive street, Lindell divi-

London, June 1.-THE admirals at
Taku, acting in concert, are forcibly re-
opening the railroad from TienTsin to
Pekin. Gangs of laborers are repairing
the damaged line, which is guarded by
fifteen hundred men composed of de-
tachments from the foreign fleet. One
hundred Americans, under Captain
McCalla, are among them. They nave
guns and armored trains for use when
the line is repaired which can hardly
be effected before Monday night. Ten
thousand troops of all nationalites, ac-
cording to a dispatch to the Daily Ex-
press from Shanghai, will be sent to
Pekin to back up the demands of the
ministers upon the government, or if
necessary, suppress the Boxers
themselves.
Sir Claude Macdonald, British min
lister to Pekin, sent the following tele-
gram to Shanghai on June Z: THE
movement against the foreigners, which
has been allowed to grow to such an
extent has resulted in the burning of
railroad stations and in the Interrupt
ton Of railroad communication for five
days. Two British missionaries and
several lOftlSl ItllSSluHdIleS nave peeH

In the country round numbers of con-
verts have been murdered and chapels
have been pillaged and destroyed, while
in the capital itself the British mission
aries have been obliged to leave their
houses and to take refuge at the lega-
tion which is defended by seventy-five
marines. The Chinese government Is
affected by these events so far as to
send high officials to parley with the
Boxers, but it does not show any inten-
ton of summarily suppressng them.
Probably it still has power to do so;
but the throne is still strongly influence
ed by sympathy with the movement and
the spirit of the troops is doubtful. All
is we'll up to the present.

TODAY,S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago April 2-CORN-The corn mar
ket began the new month with consider
able activity and strength today The

the export demand were factors. A sale
of 100000 bushels was reported early. May

vanced gradually to 39izc, and closed
strong, &c over Saturday at 39ss@1sc.
WHEAT-The wheat market early was
dull but firm, helped by the corn strength
and nervousness over the extent of dam
ages reported from portions of Europe.
The expectation of a decrease in the visi-
bic was also something of an influence

May opened 14ISsc over Saturday at 81

point the market sold off TO -663sc, but re-

ANOTHER IS Gone
J. B. Bartholomew, a Topeka
Pioneer, Dead.
Death Occurred at 4 O'clock
Sunday Evening.
END WAS EXPECTED.
For More Than a Week Life Was
Despaired Of.
One of TOpeka's Most Enter
prising Citizens.

John Barley Bartholomew, whose
name is synonymous with the progress
of Topeka, died at his home in this
city at Is minutes past 4 O'Clock Sunday
afternoon.
Mr.. Bartholomew had been i'll with
pneumonia since March s. For several
days his condition had been critical
and his death was not unexpected.
Up to the very last he retained con-
seriousness and his powerful intellect,
which dictated so many enterprises in
this city, remained undimmed.
Nc resident of Topeka was more
closely identified with the growth and
advancement of this city than John B.
Bartholomew. From 1882. when he first
engaged in the real estate business up
to the time that all progress was tenn
porarily checked by the fatal reaction
following the BOOM he was closely
associated with every move made in the
upbuilding of the Kansas capital.
He plated and sold the first twenty
additions to the city of Topeka, many

CORN-Has been strong and closes at

decrease. Speculative trade was light

New York, April PA Tribune dis
patch from Dublin says:
The queens visit to ireland is one of
the wisest acts of her reign. Dublin
has accepted it in advance as an act
of womanIy grace designed to express
appreciation of the work of the Irish
generals and the loyalty and gallantry
of the Irish soldiers. Lord Mayor Tai
lon is a nationalist and d staunch fol-
lower of Mr.. Redmond, but he has
shown good political instinct in adapt
ing himself to the situation. An ire
concilable minority under Mr.. Harring-
ton has sought to stir UP strife and
is threatening a renewal of agitation
this week, but the lord mayor has the
people of Dublin behind him, and will
not endanger his political future when
he meets the queen at the city gates
in Lesson street and presents the civic
sword and official keys. He has taken
his cue from Mr.. Redmond that there is
no politics in the queens visit, yet is
too shrewd a politician himself to offer
any resistance to public feeling in Dub
lin, which has been strongly influenced
by the compliment paid by the queen
to the city in holding court here for a
season.
The city is already in holiday colors
in honor of her coming, and the route
which she will follow for eight miles
is continuously decorated with masts
! streamers and flags. The cordially of
her welcome to the Irish capital cannot
/ be doubted. Some threats are heard
/ that there will be serious trouble and
| even rioting if Orange professions are
! seen in the streets, but it is not likely
| that the queens visit win be marred by
any unpleasant incidents.
/ There are no official announcements
| respecting the length of the queens
stay in Dublin. It will probably de-
pend upon the temper of the people
/ here. If there are political disturb
ances she will shorten it; if she is con-
WINGED. on the other hand, that her
tribute to the loyal services of the Irish
soldiers is appreciated and tends to
promote good feeling she will prolOng
| her stay to a full month. She is pre-
pared to make a long visit and convert

liant pageant, and there will be a long

draws From Chicago Pres

come of criticisms of DR.. Hills recent
denunciations of certain Presbyterian
doctrines.
Nearly every Presbyterian minister Of
Chicago was present when the venera-
BILE minister read the letter and the
closest attention was paid to its read
ing. DR.. Hills letter was quite lengthy
and went fully into the recent questions
of Pres byterian doctrine raised by him
in his sermon at Plymouth church.
After presenting his withdrawal from
the presbytery of Chicago and asking to
be Identified from the Presbyterin
church DR.. Hills went into the reasons
which led him to take such steps. The
letter continued:
Il had intended to be asked to be
transferred to the Congregational de-
nomination but on account of my ad-
miration and appreciation of the work
of DR.. Abbott and Henry Ward Beech
er, neither of whom was affiliated with
any denominational organization,
have postponed such action"
Dr. Hills said since his sermon Sun
day had so deeply disturbed his breth
rem of the church which he so much re-
GREETED he considered it incumbent up

former instructors considered him I'M

with other ministers he had been apollo

what shall be said of a creed, DR..
Hills letter continued, that is accept
ed by our clerical instructors one day
and rejected the next? Some have said
that I am drifting away from the Chris
tan faith and becoming interested in
/ philosophy and literature. Neverthe-
/ less, the exact opposite is the truth. For
years have urged revision of our cruel

At the conclusion of the reading OF
DR.. Hills letter it was referred to &
committee to make such answer as may
be deemed wise and to recommend tht
| action to be taken by the Presbytery
The committee will report late this af-
ternoon.
Several ministers expressed their in
tention of opposing the acceptance o.
DR.. Hills resignation and warm de
bate is expected when the matter il
brought up.
