sAcKING AND wREcKING.
Tien Tsin, Wednesday. July 4.-The late
| chief OF police of Port Arthur has arriv-
| ed here. lie reports that the Chinese
have sacked and burned Niu Chwang.
He further asserts that the Chinese are
wrecking the Manchurian railway and
are also pillaging the unprotected out
lsskirts of Port Arthur.
London, July r. 2:15 p. m.-The charac-
ter of today's news only tends to confirm
the pessimism in London concerning the
fate of the international colony at Pekin.
Observers see in the dict from Pekin
and other information emanating from
Chinese official sources only attempts TO
gain time and desperate anxiety on the
part OF some one to make an apology for
the outrages committed at the capital.
The latest news from Tien-Tsin consid-
erably intensified the general alarm. The
lack cs cohesion among the allies and
the consequent failure to make hcadway
render the situation there critical.

Louisville, Dec. S.-The second day Of

ing to the chair Immediately after roll
call Miss Esther King. one of the wom-
en- delegates from Indiana. She presid-
ed over the deliberations for half an
hour. .
The question of jurisdiction of the
different unions will occupy much Of
the convention s time. There are differ
epces between the brewery workers and
stationary firemen and stationary en-
gineers; carpenters, woodworkers and
box makers; painters and decorators and
paper hangers; plumbers, gas and steam
filters and the steam and hot water fit
ters; printers and machinists; miners
and hoisting engineers; garment work
ers and tailors, and union independent
of both in Chicago and others.
The credentials committee recon-
mended the protests against delegates
from the brewery workers and station
ary engineers and firemen be dismissed.
The delegates were seated and the mat
ter referred to the grievance committee.
A vigorous protest has been made bv
the United Garment Workers against
the seating of delegates from the Ohica-
go Federation of Labor for having ad-
mitted custom clothing makers. The
protest resulted in the Chicago fedora.
ton receiving instructions to throw out
the clothing makers on penalty of being
themselves expelled from the American

the Trinidad authorities could not
release yalosqui, and he is still in
Jail at Trinidad Junta Tribune.
The murdered man was a brother
of j. @. Ford of Lamar, and the re-
mains were brought here and buried
in Riverside cemetery this morning,
the services being conducted by Rev.
knuckey.
The murderer when captured at a
ranch near Trinidad had nine horses
in his possession, which he had stolen
from different ranches along his
route. He was arrested before the
fact of the murder had been discov
cred, on the suspicion that the horses
were stolen. This was proved and
he was confined in Jail to answer for
that offense, when the greater crime
was made known. In his confession
he said that he shot Mr.. Ford through
the head before he used the ak on
him. The motive of the crime was
probably money, as the force of men
had just received months wrges.

was murdered last Friday night on
the Snowden ranch about twenty
miles south of Manzanola. Juan
Valosqui, Mexican who has been
working on the ranch, and who Is
now in Jail in Trinidad on charge
of horse stealing, confessed the crime
to Sheriff Barr Yesterday at the Jail
in that city, and will be brought to
La Junta as soon as he is rsleased
by the Trinidad officials.
The crime was not discovered IN
til Monday, aud the absence of IA.
losqui, who has been in charg', of
the sheep, and also horse and sad.
die, led to the supposition that the
Mexican had committed the crime
and escaped on the horse. Under
sheriff Steward went to the scene
of she crime Monday to investigate
He found that Ford had been muir
dered with an ak, apparently while
asleep, mis- head being literally
bntchered.
Sheriff Barr received word from
Sheriff Clark, of Trinidad, Monday
that a man answering the descrip-
tion of Yalosqui was in Jail there
under the name of Milatone Trujillo,
charged with horse stealing. Sheriff
Barr went to Trinidad yesterday
morning and returned on No. 2. He
interviewed the prisoner, and finally
got confession out of him. Owing
to the absense of the district attor
