wounded, two seriously and perhaps
fatally. The other robber barricaded
himself in a sod house and defied the
posse. Sheriff Walker telegraphed to

house. but before the artillery arrived

Populat on Looks on in Silence and Grief
That Is a Grand Tribute.
Rome, Aug. 10.-King Humbert's re-
mains were laid yesterday beside those
of his father in the Pantheon at Rome.
The funeral train, which bore the body
of the dead king from Mona, arrived
yesterday morning. The coffin was
placed on gun-carrriage drawn by six
horses, and the procession set out from
the station, followed by the new king,
princes of the house of Savoy, royal
visitors, and representatives of foreign
powers. Preceding the royal remains
marched representatives Of the mill
tary, civil, scientific, religious, and po-
litical organizations of Italy. Not a
word was heard from the people who
lined the way, and the grief shown in
their faces was grander tribute to
the memory of the departed ruler than
all the splendor of the cortege.
A sudden movement of the crowd in
the Via Nazionale, as the kings car
riage in the funeral procession passed,
resulted in a panic, during which thir-
ty persons were injured and several
were badly crushed. 1t was at first
thought by the officers that it was the
new kings life that was in danger,
and the Duke Of Aosta and the Count
of Turin drew their swords. while the
cavalry drove back the crowd and in
closed the kings carriage in q square

Adams Express company, was arrested
yesterday afternoon in this city, and
has confessed to the killing Of Messen-
ger Charles Lane and the robbery Of
the way safe of the Adams Express
company on the Pennsylvania east
bound train, which arrived in this city
at midnight Friday with the messen-
gers dead body in the express car. One
thousand dollars of the money which
he had stolen was recovered. Terrell
was to have been married Thursday
next to Miss Lillian COstlow, daughter
of Patrick COstlow, an engineer ON the
Pennsylvania lines. He had been dis
charged from the employ of the Adams
Express company about three months
ago, and had not since been able to
secure employment.
The money he had given to Miss
Costlow to keep for him, saying that

the whole thing. including the murder
Of friend-Messenge Lane-because
he wanted money to be married.
Terrell In his confession says he
waited after getting on the express car
until Lanes back was turned and then
shot him repeatedly until he was sure
he was dead. He took the packages he
stole to hotel at Plain City and in a
room there searched the stolen matter
for cash. sending the other stuff by ex-
press to Lockport, n. Y, to a fictitious
person. This matter was stopped at
Columbus and with his pistol which
he also left in the hotel room and some
stolen mail matter which ne left there

against the landing of British troops
in the Yang-tse valley. The memorial
urged upon this government that seri-
Gus consequences would follow the
landing Of British force at Shang-

however. that not only would it be
entirely out of its province to interfere
with the British programme in south
ern China. which was being carried
forward by Admiral Seymour, on the
ground, with the full knowledge of To-
cal conditions, but in view of China's
present recalcitrant attitude, and the
lack, up to date. Of even an acknowl-

ing the safety of our ministers, the
United States was not inclined to
shoulder any of China's troubles with
Great Britain or any other of the

Russians Fired ON Americans.

New York, Aug. 13.-A special cable
dispatch to The Evening World, dated
Chefoo, Aug. 8, via Shanghai, says: "A
terrible mistake occurred at the taking
Of Yangtsun. Russian artillery opened
fire on the American troops. Before
the mistake was discovered many
American soldiers had been killed or
wounded by the Russian shells. The
Fourteenth took part in the attack on
the Chinese trenches. AS the Chinese
fled the regiment entered and occupied
one of the Chinese positions. A Rus

notice the movement. 1t opened fire
Oh the position and planted shells
among the American troops. The
Russians were quickly notified and

EMINENT BRITIsHER DEAD.
Baron Russell, Lord Chief Justice of tho
Three Kingdoms.


London, Aug. IL. Most of the
courts in the British isles were closed
yesterday. The reason was the death
of the eminent British jurist, Baron
Russell, of Killowen, lord chief JUS
tice. He had been i'll with catarrh of
the stomach for some time, and the
physicians decided that only an opera
ton could save him, if that could. The
operation killed him, notwithstanding
he stood it well.
The courts generally suspended bust
ness yesterday, and the judges and
other distinguished lawyers eulogized
the deceased chief justice. The pre-
mier, Lord Salisbury, will select the
successor of Lord Russell, with the
Queens approval. Lord Alverstons
(Sir Richard Webster), the attorney
general, and now master of the rolls,
will. it is generally thought, be APP
pointed lord chief justice Of England.

END OF THE TROUBLE
Message from Conger Says He Can Hold
on Until Chafiee Comes.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Indications
of the desire of China for peaceful
settlement of her present difficulties
have been multiplying for several days
Official evidence of that desire was
presented to the department of state
yesterday. 1t was in the form of an
edict promulgated by the emperor,
Kwang Hsu, appointing Earl Ii Hung
Chang as envoy plenipotentiary to me-
gotiate with the powers for an "imme,
diate cessation of hostilities," pend
ing solution of the problems which
have grown out of the anti-foreign up
risings in the empire. Earl Ii is to
act directly for the emperor, and fair
inference is that whatever terms of
settlement he may reach with the pow
ers will be approved by the imperial
government.
During yesterday only one dispatch
that was made public reached any of
the government departments from
China. A belated p@SSsage from Minis
ter Conger was transmitted to the war
department by General Chaffee. 1t ex-
pressed simply his ability to 'hold on"
until General Chaffee should come to
his relief. All the power of this gov
eminent will be exerted to get that re-
lief to him and the other imprisoned
legationers at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
