ANOTHER CONVICT KILLED
THIRTEEN WHO ESCAPED ARE STILL
AT LARGE.
They Have Scattered Out, but Are All
Being Closely Pursued
by Posses.

KANSAS CITY, November n.-Another
of the twenty-six convicts who escaped
from the military prison at Fort Leaven-
worth last week was laid low early today
near Quenemo, forty miles southwest from
the penitentiary, when Lawrence Lewis,
white, aged twenty, was fatally wounded,
receiving a bullet in the back while at
tempting to escape from the city marshal
of that place. This makes total Of thir-
teen prisoners captured since the outbreak
on Wednesday last, leaving thirteen still at
large. To date three of the mutinous con-
yicts have been killed, and five, including
the two who yesterday made captive Of
Sheriff Cook of Topeka, and then escaped,
have been wounded. Lewis death makes
the fourth fatality.
A great number of armed men are today
searching for the captors of Cook, and 1t
seems impossible that they can get away.
Reinforced by the weapons taken from
the Wooster farm house and froIn the cfIi-
Ger yesterday, they are we'll prepared, how
ever, to make a fierce fight. They are
known to be desperate men and unless tie
wounds received yesterday prove serious,
1t is believed they will not be taken alive.
Other posses are said to be pursuing two
different gangs of men within fifty miles
of the pententiary, and furth5t captures
are looked for during the day.
Lawrence Lewis, the convict shct today,
was received at the penitentiary IT. October,
1880, under a five-year sentence for larceny.

NEW GOVERNOR OF SHANTUNG.
Chan Zen Tung. a Member of the Civil
Service, Appointed.

1t is understood here that Chan Yen Tung
has been appointed to succeed Yuan Shi
Kai as governor of the province of Shan
tung. Not much is known here Of Chans
personality, save that he is a civil service
man and not soldier. He Is also under
stood to have been only recently appointed
director of transportation, a very impor-
tant post in China.
Minister WI had long talk with Secre-
tary Hay this morning respecting the con-
dtions in China resulting from Ii Hung
Changs death The minister has not yet
been advised officially of the reported pur-
pose of his government to relieve him at
Washington. Nor has he had any overtures
from responsible educational institutions In
America looking to his becoming member
of the faculty.

named it's representative on the committee
of bankers at Shanghai who are to act as
the collectors and distributors of the inter-

caused by the absence Of any American
bank in China, and unless American imam

to the extent of opening a bank in the
orient the United States will probably be
obliged to name British fiscal agent. A
threat to trade is said to be involved in
such a selection in view of the fact that at
least three other of the nations, party to
the protocol are likely to make the same
choice, thereby placing an enormous and
unusual power of regulating the rates OF

A decision was rendered by the United

Company agt. the board of railroad and

Missouri. The case came to the Supreme
Court on writ of error from the supreme

was on the question of the removal Of the
case to the federal courts. The case in
wolves the legality of the charge made by
the railroad company for transporting pas
sengers and freight across its bridge over
the Missouri river at Bonneville, Mo. The
state law fixes the rate for carrying pas
sengers in Missouri at 3 cents per mile, and
it seems that the railroad company attach
ed an extra charge of 25 cents for their

crossing the bridge. The practice was at
tackled by the railroad commissioners and
suit brought in the state courts t., entoin

court of the state the law was sustained.
Application was made to remove the ca Sc
to the federal courts on the ground that
the railroad company is citizen of Kan

THE SWORD MAY DISAPPEAR.
Example of the British Army in Dis
carlinG Nay Be FOllOWed.

Oh une DIbs
cardfng May BE Followed.
1t is among the probabilities that the
sword, which has always been a distinc-
tive part of an officers equipment, may
disappear from the United States military
service in the not distant future. The ex-
perience of British officers in South Africa
has led the British army to discard the
sword as a military weapon. It was found
to be an impediment rather than a benefit.
1t interfered with the marching of tine foot
officers and was an incumbrance to the
mounted officer. 1t is a spectacular crna-
ment of military apparel and has been an
inseparable part Of military officers dress
from time immemorial
There is strong sentimental attachment
for the weapon among certain classes of
soldiers and there may be some opposition
to the movement to have IT discarded by
the United States army. The days of hand
to-hand encounters, in which the sword
figured weapon Of offense and defense,
have long since passed away, and 1t is now
generally recognized that the sword is an
impediment rather than an aid to officers
engaged in hostilities under modern con-
ditionS.

hem Steel Company.
Mr. Tracewell. controller of the treasury,
has rendered a decision in the case of thss
claim of the Bethlehem Steel Company for
compensation for two twelve-inch sea coast
steel guns amounting to s109,00o. This
company is the successor of the Bethle-
hem Iron Company and received from the
latter transfer of its property, including
a contract for one hundred sea-coast guns.
The two guns just completed is In part per-
formance of that contract by the steel
company. The controller holds that the at
tempted assignment to the steel company
Is void under sections 3477 and 37S7 revised
statutes and that the United States Is not
indebted to the steel company on account
of labor and materials furnished by 1t un-
der the contract with the iron company
In any way which can be recognized by the

Company having ceased to exist has made
default in the contract which the Secretary

with the successor company wherein pay

vided for, as well any new work which
