CANTON, Ohio, Sept. ga strange
story comes from West Lawn cemetery
tonight, where a company of regulars
from Fort Wayne, Mich, are guarding
the vault in which the body of the late
President Mckinley lies. 1t is to the ef-
feet that guard on duty on top of the
vault fired a shot at one man who refused
to heed his challenge; that the shot was
diverted by another man who appeared
from another direction, and that an ef-
fort was made to stab the guard. Mill
tary regulations prevent either the Off
GERS or the men of the post from being
quoted on any matter connected with
their service, and for this reason Capt.
Biddle, who is in command, was obliged
to decline to be quoted at the camp to-
night. He will at once make a full re-
port to his superiors. Reliable authori-
ties made the following statement:
Private Deprend was on guard duty on
top of the Jault at a point commanding
the entrance below, and the man ap-
preached from the rear. Shortly before
7:30 he saw what he took to be the face
of a man peering from behind a tree
about forty feet from his post. He
watched it for twenty minutes, he says,
and at 7:452 saw the man hurry to tree
ten feet nearer. He challenged the man
to halt but this was not needed and the
fellow approached nearer. Deprend lev
eled his gun and aimed to shoot for effect,
but just at that instant another man who
came towards him from the opposite
side caught the gun, threw it up
and the bullet was spent in the
air. This same man struck Deprend on
the right side of the abdomen with d
knife or other sharp weapon, cutting
an FL" shaped cash in his overcoat an
IT, Il,
smaller one in his. blouse. The flesh
was not broken but was bruised under
the cuts in the clothing. Deprend, in
the struggle fell and rolsed down the
side of the vault
Lieut. Ashbridge, officer of the day,
was in the front of the vault and rushed
to the top on hearing the shot,but the

Urgent Relief Measures Needed in
Many Districts Will Cost the

of ROubIes.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 29-Today,
following up the recent publication of
the famine conditions in thirteen dis
tricts the minister of The interior, NJ
Sipiaguine, issued a long statement on
crop failure and the measures of famine
relief upon which the central government
has decided
Acting upon telegraphic reports from
the various governors, the government
has begun the work vigorously. The
sum of $4,000 roubles las been appro-
priated for the government of Saratoff.
10000 roubles for Tauris, 100000 roubles
Tor the non-military points in the Doni
basin and 10000 roubles with a sup
ply of autumn seed for the government
of Yekaterinoslaff.
On Aug. Is the central government s
famine fund amounted to only $50 900
roubles. Emperor Nicholas ordered that
this be increased to 14000,00C roubles.
According to the reports of the COVER
nors, state assistance is required in nine
teen provinces, not counting the country
of the Don Cossacks which is under the
war department.
The reports estimate requirements for
autumn and winter only not mention
ing the spring, when the need is greatest.
Assistance has been voted as follows:

No detailed reports have been received
from Orel and Yeniseisk, although it
is known that both need assistance.
Perm has shortage, but local effort will
suffice there.
Great difficulty will be experienced in
transporting grain before the close of
navigation. The government is now at
tending to the most pressing demands
A special commission has been engaged
since the beginning of August in buy

STRIKE ON CHICAGO L ROAD

for Their Jobs Sunday.


for Their Jobs Sunday.
CHICAGO, Sept 29.-The strike on the
South Side elevated road was declared
to be practically at ali end tonight. Be-
lieving that they would not be able to
force the ~officials of the company to
grant the concessions demanded when
the strike was declared Saturday morn
ing, members Of the employees union
began deserting the ranks of the strik-
ers early today and asking to be rein
stated in their old positions In most
cases they were taken back and their
names placed on the extra list under
those of the men who stepped in and
took their places when an attempt was
made to tie up the road.
Although the strike leaders will not adj
NIT that their forces are weakening, the
men who applied to be reinstated took a
different view of the situation, declar--
ing that there was no chance for the
men to win and that the majority of
the strikers were willing to return to
work.
A large iron bar, which Is presumed to
have been placed on the rails by strik-
ers, nearly caused serious accident to
one of the trains tonight. The cars were
loaded to overhowing and several per-
sons were more or less injured in the
panic that attended the smashup. The
motorman did not see the obstruction
in time to stop and the first two cars
of the train We're thrown from the track

men made good their escape. All MEM
bers of the company on hearing the
shot hurried to the vault, and besides
searching the cemetery the guard was
increased Duprend is a recruit enlisted
in New York about four months ago.
He is said to be an excellent soldier and,
to have a fine record with his officers.
He says the man who attacked him was
masked but that the first one he saw
was not masked. He says the latter
carried a white package in his right
hand and something that glittered in his
left Since the incident stories have been
told in camp of some ncendiary con-
Versations overheard in the crowds that
have visited the cemetery, including one
today alleging that some stranger said:
Lots of people would like to see this
whole thing blown up
There are seventy soldiers at the ceme-
terry, twenty of whom are constantly
on guard duty about the vault and camp.
The first man, the guard says, carried a
small white package in bis right hand
and something that glistened like pol
iShed weapon in the other. The second
one, the guard says. wore a mask over
his face. Lieut.. Ashbridge was on duty
less than a hundred feet away in front
of the vault. and is said to have reached
the top within five seconds after he heard
the shot, but when he arrived the guard
was at the foot of the slope ain which
the vault is built, where he rolled after
the assault and the supposed prowlers
were making their escape with a good
lead. Others of the company were at
tracted by the report of the rifle, but
reached the scene too late to be of any
assistance except to participate in the
pursuit and the search made of the ceme-
terry and in increasing the guard for the
night
Stories regarding the incident when
they reached the city We're connected
with the Jail delivery that occurred about
the same tine.
While there seems to be no doubt that
at least two providers attempted to reach
the vault there is much difference of
opinion as to the object of the intruders
who evidently made good their escape.

President Hill Inspects Proposed
New Route Across Cascades.
NEW WHATCOM, Wash, Sept 29-It
has developed here that the purpose Of
the late visit of President j. j. Hill of
the Great Northern railway to the Pacific
coast was to personally inspect a route
for his second line of railway across the
Cascade mountains in this state. 1t is
said that Mr.. Hill made the trip on mule
back from the head waters of Lake Che
Ian country to Bridge creek in the Cas-
cade mountains. On the eastern side of
the mountains the Great Northern is ex-
tending the system westward from Mar
Gus to Midway.
On the western side their line was taken
forty miles eastward from Hamilton to
Rockport. Between Rockport, the pres
ent terminus of the line on the western
side of the mountains, to Midway, where
contracts are said to have already been
let for construction on the eastern side, is
a distance of $50 miles. 1t was to look
over the intervening gap, in which lies
Skagway pass, that Mr.. hill made his
last trip.

LoNDO4 PRESS COMMENT.
Britishers Cherish Hope That Sham
rock fay Lift the Cup.


LONDON, Sept 3O.-Todays papers are
unanimous in praise of the splendid
handling of the Columbia and Shamrock
on Saturday in what all describe as a
magnificent race. The result of the race
has raised the hopes of all Englishmen
generally. The result has shown that the
result cannot be predicted with any de-
gree of safety, but it is predicted the tr..-
angular course will prove more favorable
to the challenger, and therefore Sir
Thomas Upton still has a chance to lift
the cup"
THE race throughout could not have
been contested more keenly,'' says the
Daily Mail" or in a more sportsmanlike
manner
The Daily Graphic points to the signii-
cant fact that at no period in the race
was the challenger leading by the amount
of her handicap, and it expresses the
opinion that unless the Shamrock II.
shows a sudden improvement in speed
or gets large slice of luck she will hard
ly win the cup.
This latter opinion is the least hopeful
among those voiced by the morning
press. The Standard, which declines 30
