MUTINOUS CONVICTS
BEHIND PRISON BARS
Surrendered to Guards With
out Further Trouble.
TWO CULPRITs WERE SHOT

The Fifteen Guards Held Under
Ground Are None the Worse For
Their Experience-RingIea Will
BE Severely Punished.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, March 2O-At
O'Clock this morning the last of the

that two of the convicts had been shot
and wounded slightly by the first cage
of guards that descended into the pit
last night to rescue the IS guards held
as hostages.
When the cage reached the bottom of
the pit a number of the convicts at
tempted to make a stand and volley
from the rescuers was fired above their
heads to frighten them. One man was
shot In the arm and another received a
bullet in the left leg. This cowed the
others and they surrendered without
further trouble. The guards were first
sent to the top. the convicts following
as quickly as they could be rounded up.
Many of the convicts had hidden in
the tunnels, and it was after midnight
before they were found. The convictS
had gone for "A hours without food and
were glad to reach the top AT the
penitentiary each man was given but a
cup of coffee and few slices of bread.
This served as the beginning of their
punishment. Today Warden Tomlinson
said he would punish the ringleaders
severely, and all will be kept in confne-
ment for while. The two men shot
by the guards were not badly hurt.
None of the Is guards held under
ground is any worse for their expert
ences.
The wounded men are Ralph Clark,
under 20-year sentence for highway
robbery, will have TO suffer the amputa-
ton of an arm, and Alfred Hatfield,
serving ten years for manslaughter.

M'KINLEY HAS
NUMEROUS CALLERS
Senator'S and Representa-

MANY TOPICS DISCUSSED
Chief Executive Has a Very Busy
Day-Discusses With Senator Hanna
and Representatives Grosvenor and
Dick Political Situation In Ohio.

WASHINGTON, March 20.--The preSi-
dent was fairly besieged with callers
today. Senators Burrows and McMil
Ian of Michigan called to file a caveat
on the vacancy in the civil service COM
mission created by the death OF
Mr. Brewer. They have not yet Sc
lected a candidate. but believe the place
should go to Michigan. Within short
time they expect to recommend a candi-
date.
Representatives Hit, Foster, Foss and
]. r. Williams of Illinois, Rucker and
Benton of Missouri, Jones of Washing
ton and Minor of Wisconsin saw the
president on behalf of ex-Representa-
tive Rodenburg's candidacy for place
on the ST. Louis exposition commission.
The contest is understood to have mar
rOwed down to a choice between Mr..
Rodenburg and Cyrus Northrup of Min
nesota. 1t is said that the commission
will be named during the week.
Senator Hanna, Representative Gros-
venor and Representative Dick of Ohio
had very. extended conference with
the president. They were closeted with
him for almost two hours. Senator For
aker called during the progress of the
conference, but remained only a short
time. The Importance of the consulta-
ton may be judged by the fact that
Secretaries Root and Gage, who had
business with President Mckinley after
waiting for some time, returned to their
respective departments.
The consultation between the Ohio
Republican leaders and the president
covered quite a number of questions,
national as well as state, but was largely
confined, it is understood, to the politi-
cal situation in Ohio.
The Ohio delegation in congress is to
go to San Francisco to be present at the
launching of the battleship Ohio, and

DIG TUNNELS IN TREES.
Wood Cnterpillars Are Creating Sc
riOus Havoc in the Lon
don Parks.

The caterpillars of the wood-leop-
ard moth are doing irreparable dam
age to many Of the old trees in the
London parks and gardens by tunnel
ing into the timber, with the result
that either the trees are killed out
right OF the branches and leading
shoots are so weakened that they
readily snap across during stormy
weather.
Hardly park or garden of any pre-
tensions in the great metropolis is
free from the leopard moth and the
goat moth, both OF which have in
creased of late years to an almost
alarming extent. This is partly ow-
ing to the unhealthy condition of
many of the trees. which has been
brought about by the ever-increasing
smoke and fumes to which they are
almost constantly subjected, for the
caterpillar rarely attacks healthy
trees.
The tunnels, which are often half
an inch in diameter, are cut in ali di-
rections through the hardest timber,
the trees usually attacked being the
Spanish chestnut, thorn. apple, beam
tree. elm and poplar.
