Another Military Scheme Unearthed.


The new rule adopted by the state
military board confines the use of mill
tary transportation, so far as the de-
partment officials and attaches are con-
cerned, TO the three members of the
board, and they are permitted to use it
only when coming to and returning
from Lansing to attend board meetings
or when travelling on strictly state
business Aside from this, the use of
this transportation will be permitted
to persons travelling under specific or
ders. 1t has come to the surface that
the testimony taken before the legisla-
tive investigating committee last win
ter was to the effect that all the trans
portation order slips issued during the
existence of Camp Eaton had been de-
stroyed, but that Notwithstanding this
testimony. a bushel basketful of these
orders has been unearthed during the
past few weeks. These have been
sorted out and classified, and consti-
tute the basis for whatever demands
may be made upon persons who used
this transportation without paying
for it.

The insurgent forces, according to
reports, continue active. The leaders
are endeavoring TO keep alive the
armed opposition to the United States
and are planning to continue the insur-
rection with guerrilla warfare on a
larger scale when the rainy season be-
gins. The insurgent organization has
been remarkably rehabilitated during
the past month, particularly in the
northern provinces, according to a
high authority The insurgents have
a secret organization patterned after
the Katipunian method, even in the
most strongly garrisoned towns, af-
fording perfect means of communica-
ton, and that the machinery is man
aged from Manila, some of the leaders
being Filipinos pretending to be sup
porters of the American administra-
ton, many of the municipal govern
ments installed by the army forming
part of the machinery.

10th and 45th regiments and detach-
ments of artillery, engineers and signal

London. July 21.-Sir Halliday Ma

tary to the Chinese legation in Lon

admitted that the legation was in re-
ceipt of news which il was not able
to disclose. He added: You may take
ii that on July IS, the date OF the
Conger message, all the legations and
Europeans i'll Picking were safe.
Il cannot say why the other minis
ters are not able to communicate with
their governments, but there Is no rea-
son why they should not use the same
channel as Mr.. Conger employed. Per
haps q supreme effort was made for
Mr.. Conger's message. and possibly
the Chinese do not realize the anxiety
existing in Europe"
INOte.-The COnger message had no
date. That referred to by Sir Halli-
day was the date given by the govern
or of Shan-Tung as the date on which
Conger's message was forwarded from
Picking. the said message having been
received by the governor yesterday.

situation THE plot has covered the
whole empire. Men who have dared
to order a Russian city upon Russian
ground to be stormed will dare any

of the coast towns will have thrown
off the mask, and the only safe place

Thinks China Ought Not to Hate Us for
Sins of Europe.
Lincoln, Neb.. July 21.-AS there
has been a call for Bryan's views on
the Chinese troubles. yesterday he
gave out an interview on that subject
in which he said: Every one believes
that it is the duty of our government
to protect the lives and property of
American citizens residing i'll China,
and have no doubt that the admins
tration will do 50.
IF the Chinese government has
tried in good faith 10 protect our citi-
zens, suitable punishment for the guilty
and PREPARATION and indemnity for those
who have suffered can doubtless be
secured. If upon investigation it is
found that the Chinese government
has not acted in good faith, congress
has power To deal with the matter.
He then referred to the encroach-
ments of simple in China, and Chi
nese hostility to Europeans and add
ed: THAT feeling. however, ought
not to be directed against American
citizens and will not be If our nation
makes ii known that it has no desire
to grab land, or TO trespass upon the
rights of China"

Gribski, after relieving BlagOvest-

ment, received further reinfOrcements
and bOmbarded the Chinese village of
Sakhalin, which was set on fire. The
Chinese, however, continued to receive
reinforcements and maintained such
an obstinate resistance as to convince
General Gribski of the necessity of &C.
cupying Aigun, where 1000 Chinese,
with artillery, were in position.
The Russian troops advanced from
the direction of the town of Nismen-
naja The Chinese massed their troops
in large bodies at various points and
made a stout resistance but they
were finally overcome. The town of
Aigun was partly destroyed and the
Russians occupied all the important
defensive positions on the right bank
of the river, driving the Chinese out
of them.
The Russians captured seventeen
guns and killed 1900 Chinese, with
slight loss to themselves. The Russian
troops are now advancing successfully

ANOTHER MAN DISCIPLINED.
Chicago Board of Trade Trying to XIII
Bucket Shopping.

Chicago, July 21.-James NicoI. first
vice president of the board of trade,
has been suspended from theprivileges
of the floor for one year after n trial
on charges OF making false and ficti-
tious trades" The trial began last
Tuesday and ended at 1870 yes
terday morning. Thursday nights SEES
sion of the trial developed some high
ly sensational features. These phases
of the case were brought out when the
defense introduced witnesses to dis
credit the methods adopted by John
Hill in the prosecution.
The new phase practically put Hill
on trial Oh charges of blowing up his
house in Morgan Park in 1898. but the
testimony in proof of this charge was
ruled out as unreliable. Nicol admitted
making the trades as charged, but as
arted that he made them in the reg
liar order of business, taking them
from McLain in identically the same
way he would have taken them-and
as matter of fact, did take similar
trades-frOm hundreds of other MEM
bers of the board.
