CHINESE DISCOVERED AMERICA
Evidence Contained in Ancient Records
Unearthed in Pekin.

Evidence Contained in Ancient Records
Unearthed in Pekin.
Monterey, Mex, Nov. 17.-The re-
port that American officers have un-
earthed ancient records in Pekin show
ing that the Chinese discovered Ameri-
ca 1,500 years ago, and erected temples
in Mexico, has aroused the greatest in
terest among the scientific men of Mon
terey and throughout this country.
The Chinese temples alluded to are in
the state of Sonora, on the Pacific
coast. The ruin of one of the temples
was discovered near the town of Ures,
in that state, about two years ago.
One of the large stone tablets found in
the ruins was covered with carved
Chinese characters, which were partly
deciphered by a learned Chinaman who
visited the ruins at the request of the
Mexican government. This Chinaman
made the assertion at the time that the
ruins were those of a temple which had
been erected many centuries ago by
Chinese, but his statement was not re-
ceived with credence.
1t has been long claimed that the In
dians of the state of Sonora are the de.
scendents OF the early Chinese settlers.
They possess many traditions and
characteristics of the Chinese. If the
report of the finding of these records
in Pekin is verified an expedition will
90 from here to explore further the
ancient temples of Sonora.

OPEN DOOR IN CHINA
Cotton Manufacturers Of the
South Petition For It.
IMPORTANT TRADE NECESSITY
Secretary Hay Asked to Use His Good
Omces to Prevent Closing of
Markets to Americans.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Secretary Hay
has received petition from nearly all
of the leading cotton manufacturers of
the South to take such action as may
lie within his power to prevent the in
reference by any European power
which might close the foreign markets
to the cotton manufacturers OF the
United States and injure other Ameri-
can interests. The petitioners declare
that the "open door" policy is neces-
sary to secure the retention of the inn
portant trade in cotton drills and shirt
-ings with China, most of which are
manufactured in Southern states. 1t
is declared the withdrawal of this
trade in Manchuria would seriously
affect not only the manufacturers of
cotton goods but Southern cotton-grow-
ers and employers and employees and
laborers in the cotton mills. The petit
tioners represent fully $4,000, 600
in capital and declare they have lost
half their trade since the Boxer upris-
ing and are running on half time.
General Chaffee has cabled the war

WERE BURNED TO DEATH.
Four Men Lost Their Lives In Pennsyl-

Four Men Lost Their Lives in PennsyI-
vania Hotel Fire.
Oswayo, Pa, Nov. 21.-Four men
were burned to death today in a fire
that destroyed the McGonlgal House,
a three-story frame building, and the
opera house adjoining. and several 9TH
ers were injured. The buildings were
burned to the ground in half an hours
time.
Otto Kauley, gas line walker of
Coudersport, Pa, was burned about
the face and arms, and Jerry Bailey
sustained broken shoulder by jump
ing from the third story of the hotel.
The fire originated in the McGonigal
House, from an over pres sure of natural
gas. There we're 80 people in the ho-
tel, which was fimsy structure, and
the flames licked up the building as if
it were tinder.
There were many narrow escapes,
most of the occupants jumping from
the windows. The town has no fire
protection. The tannery employees
connected line of hose to the burning
building. but on account of trouble
with the pump, there was considerable
delay in getting stream on the fire
and the flames got beyond control.
Nothing remains of the four dead but a
few charred bones. The property loss
is insignificant.

.DUPLICITY OF CHINESE

HoNORED RETIREMENT OF TUAN
An Attempt to Thwart the Demands Of

London. Nov. 22.-The Morning
POSTS Pekin correspondent, says:
"The edict inf1icting punishment is
milder than the first reports suggested.
Prince Tuan and Prince Chwang are
only banislled. and not imprisoned.
Duke Lam cannot accept the edict.
owing to the inadequacy Of the punish
ment.
Count Won Waldersee officially an

DR.. Morrison, writing to the Times
from Pekin, says:
In communicating the punishment
edict dated sinan Flu, November 13. to
the foreign ENJOYS, Ii Hung Chang SUBJ
mits it as the final punishment the
court is able to infict, and repeats the
stereotyped plea of all Chinese pleni-
potentiaries, namely, that the emperor
threatens him and Prince Ching with
severe punishment if they fail to in
duce the representatives of the powers
to accomplish compromise. The
mildness of the sentences excites ridi-.
cule, and strengthens the ministers in
their determination to demand the
death penaly. The punishments are
! illusory. Prince Tuan is merely BAN
ished to his own home, and others un.
dergo a merely nominal lowering of
rank. Perpetual imprisonment means
life of honored retirement.
"Large numbers of Southern Chi
nese now. residing in Pekln, fearing
further tribulation during the winter,
are preparing to leave for the SOUTH"
According to the Shanghai corre-
spondent of the Times, it is asserted on
good authority in Tien Tsin that there
are still some missionaries surviving
at Tai Yuan Flu under the protection
of the Mandarlns.

BOXERS FATE FIXED
Princes Tuan and Chang Go
to Prison for Life.
OTHERS FARE LITTLE BETTER
Moderate and Humane Course Of thu
United States Has Advanced
Its Prestige in China.

Washington. Nov. 19.-Minister Wu
has received from Director-G General
Sheng the following cablcgram, which
he communicated to Secretary Hay to-
day:
can imperial decree of November Is
deprives Prince Tuan and Prince Chang
of their ranks and off ces, and orders
them to be imprisoned for life; Prince
Yihsand secondary Prince lining to be
imprisoned: secondary Prince Lien to
be deprived of his rank; Duke Lam and
lining Men to be degraded in rank;
Kang vi being dead, no penalty can be
imposed upon him; Chao Shu Chiao to
be degraded, but retained in Office, and
Yu Hsien to be exiled to the tarthest
boundary"
The Chinese officials mentioned in
the decree are among the highest in
China. and comprise most, if not all,
of those against whom the powers de.
manded rigorous punishment. Prince
Tuan stands at the head of the anti
foreign and Boxer movement. Previous
edicts degraded him and took away his
Office and servants, but this Judgment
of life Imprisonment is the most severe
thus far given to any of the leaders
responsible for the trouble. From a
Chinese standpoint, it is an extreme
penalty to primes of the blood, but
1t remains to be seen whether the pow
ers will regard it as adequate to Prince
Tuan's offense. The others mentioned
were Tuan's active associates, and two
of them were specifically mentioned
for punishment, along with Tuan, in
Secretary Hays note of October 8. in
which he advised the Chinese govern
ment that this country would expect
these officials to receive their just de-
serts.
Kang Vi is one of the officials who
died suddenly when the demands for
punishment had been made, probably
by suicide. Yu Hsien is another who
was thought to have committed suicide,
but the reports indicate that he is still
alive.

Serious Trouble Retween Two Rival
Unions at Tampa.

Unions at Tampa.
Tampa, Fla, Nov. 19.--Rioting be-
tween International and sResistiancia
Unions of cigarmakers began here to-
day at the factory of Gonzales, Mora
& Co., of Tampa and Chicago. This
firm was working full force of Resis-
tiancia men, mum bering about 500.
The Internationals marched to the fac.
tory and demanded that these men
come out. This was refused and the
Internationals declared they would put
them out. The premises are enclosed,
and as an International man started to
enter the gate the Italian doorkeeper
fred upon him. This was quickly fol-
lowed by an exchanee.of several hum
dred shots. The front and side of the
buildings were riddled with bullets,
but no one has been reported injured.
Police officers dispersed the mob.
Every factory closed at noon for the
day. The mayor has sworn in 100 ex-
ira policemen, and the sheriff has add
ed numerous deputies to his force. The
mayor issued proclamation forbidding
torchlight professions and demonstra-
tions of the rival trades unions, planned
for tonight.
The Ipternationals have about 800
mem bers here, while the Resistiancia
mem bers number over 5000.
Since the rioting, the city has pre-
sented wildly excited condition, and
the streets in the neighborhood of the
cigar factories have been thronged
with people. This afternoon. a mass
meeting of business men passed reso.
luton authorizing the chairman to ap-
point committees, which the unions
did. These committees met and agreed
that all the men should go to work to-
morrow morning. The 1nternationals
have agreed to this proposition practi-
cally. but the Resistiancia Union is
still considering the matter. 1t is
thought it will be adopted before morn
ing. All the factories are now heavily
guarded by deputies.

A CLERK STOLE s2oI, 900.
He Has Been Missing Several Days and
the Bank Is Closed.


the Bank Is Closed.
Cincinnati, Nov. 21.-United States
Bank Examiner Tucker today took pos
session of the German National Bank
at Newport, KY, and posted notice
{ It the bank would remain closed
pending an examination. He also an
nounced unoffi cially that Frank M.
Brown. the assistant cahier. was miss
ing and that partial investigation
showed that he was short about $201,-
600.
Brown, who is the son of Paris G.
Brown, ex-mayor of Newport, and one
of the leading business men of Cincin-
natl, has been with the bank for 18
years and was one of its most trusted
men. Experts state that his operations
extend over period of 10 years. He
left on vacation last Wednesday, and
is supposed to be out of the country.
1t is generally believed that he has
| taken with him a considerable amount
of money.
Brown, it is alleged, has lived a fast
life, with wine, women and gambling
! in his repertoire. His career was cut
short by a jealous woman, who made
his doings known to the banks Off
cials. Browns alleged shortage had
been rumored for some time, but the
bank offieials and directors have repeat
edly declared that his accounts we're
correct and that everything was all
right.
The widest scenes were witnessed in
Newport today when Examiner Tuck
er's announcement was made public,
and serious trouble is expected. The
capital stock of the bank is only $780,
| 600. Browns shortage is double that
amount, and more than the reserve and
all the assets, including the bank 8
real estate. He must have gone the
full limit for small bank.
