of Crooks.
Kansas City, Mo-, July 9.-John How
ard private in Company D, Forty-third
Volunteer Infantry, and whose home is
at Roanoke, Va, was arrested here to-
day on the arrival of the Santa Fe train
from the West, charged with shooting

Kan. last night. Gibbons, who is not
expected to survive his injuries, lives at
Chfllicothe, Mo-, and was on his way
home after having worked in the harvest
fields in Kansas
Howard's story of the shooting makes
it uncertain whether he or some other
soldier shot Gibbons. He says a number
OF tramps boarded the train with the re-
turning soldiers at a point west of Hutch
ihson. They wore partial uniforms and
tried to pass as soldiers The soldiers
had been notified that several crooks were
aboard and to watch them Several SOL
dlers were robbed of small arms The
shooting occurred when, according to
Howard, one of the tramos mace a
slash with knife at the pocket of a SOL
dier in an effort to rob him. Gibbons
was observed and backed toward the car
door. The cry "Shoot him! went up,
and as he reached the platform How
ard and another soldier whose name
Howard does not know, fired two or three
shots, and Gibbons dropped.
Howard, who is 20 years old, will be
taken to Hutchinson. He served nearly
three years in the Philippines and was

RUSSIA is FRIENDLY.
NJ wITrE OFFERS TO SETTLE
TARIFF TROUBLE.
GAGE A STUMBLING BLOCK.
SAWS MATTER MUST REMAIN IN
THE COURTS.

s.,retarv Hays Explanation of Pc
..o1eum Matter Accepted and Rus
Kin willing to Remove All Her Re-
ooDt Extra Tariffs If United States
will yacate Its Action on Sugar
DiferrntiaI-Mr. Cages Refusal
1eoves American Manufacture In
Hole.
washington, July 9.-Another important
ovchange has occurred between the Rus
sian government and the United States,
r0lotive to the tariff. The Russian min
,s+er of finance, NJ DeWitte, has proposed
that Russia will vacate all of the ad-
dtional duties levied on American goods
since the imposition of the sugar differ
ertiaI if the United States will vacate
us action on the sugar differential TO
this Secretary Gage has replied that the
offer of the Russian government cannot
he accepted as the question of the sugar
dfferential is now in the hand of the
court thus precluding action by the Ex-
ecutive branch.
The proposition of the Russian min
lister of finance was the result of Secre-
tary Hays note of about two weeks ago.
In that note Mr.. Hay pointed out that
the action taken as to petroleum was not
new. nor was it meant to have any con-
nection with the previous action of the
government on sugar. This appears to
have reconciled Russian officials in their
view that the petroleum order was only
another step in the policy previously
taken respecting sugar.
A Proposition to the Point.
NJ. DeWitte's response is not long, but
is quite to the point. 1t makes no further
issue as to the petroleum order. The
chief attention is given to sugar and the
specific offer is made to vacate immedi-
ately the increased duties which Russia
has levied, if the United States will va
cate its action on sugar. This would
amount to re-establishing the status
quo which existed before the
the United States took its initial action
relative to Russia.
The Russian proposition was communi-
dated to Secretary Gage, who responded
promptly that as the sugar question is
now before the courts it is not possible
to avail himself of the Russian sugges-
ton. Thus the matter stands.
The reduction which would have result
ed under NJ. DeWitte's tender are those
affecting cast iron wares, manufactures
Of iron and steel, boiler work, tools for
artists, factories and workshops; gas and
water motors, motors and dynamos, sew
ing machines, portable engines, not in
cluding threshing machines; fire engines.
and other machinery of iron and steel;
also white resin, galipot, brewers pitch

ling bout, attracted $500 people to Madi-

both cleverer and heavier than the Cor
nish man. and won two falls in success
sion with quarter Of an hours rest be-

Is Probably Guilty of Only One
Crime.
Denver, Col. July S--Jessie Kinport,
the fourteen -year-old daughter of Mrs.
Carrie Kinport, who resides at 119 West
Ninth avenue, was assaulted and hor-
ribly mutilated in her room, during the
absence of her mother, last night. Mrs.
Kinport upon returning home found tho
the bedclothes were strewn about and
blood spattered over the room. She also
aroused the neighbors. who about mid.
night found the girl in vacant lot near
by, unconscious and with numerous cuts
on her body. The authorities were noti-
been brought to the station by Policeman
Lambert, who had arrested him on the
outskirts of the city. As Lambert ap-
preached Jensen whipped out a knife and
shouted to the officer that he would not
be taken to Jail. Lambert disarmed the
man and brought him to the station. On
the way he repeatedly spoke of having
been compelled to defend himself from a
woman, saying that he had cut her up
pretty badly. His knife was covered with
blood. He is believed to be demented and
to be the man who lately has committed
numerous assaults on women.
Jensen confessed to the police that he
assaulted Jessie Kinport, and also said
Ire stabbed another woman during the
night near the end of the University Park
car line
Search was at once begun and the dead
body OF Mr. Armenia A. Bulls, about 60
years old. who conducted a dairy. was
FOUND this morning at the place descril-
ed by Jensen She had been stabbed in
the breast and the blade of the knife had
penetrated the heart, causing instant
death. The body lay In the roadway ard
there was no evidence of a struggle.
Jensen said the woman was after him.
and for that reason he killed her. She
lived on ranch near by.
Could Not Have Been Jensen.
1t has developed that young man was
at the Kinport home calling on the girl,
and remained until after 10 O'Clock. len
sen was arrested about 9:45 O'Clock in the
evening, making ID impossible for him TO
have committed the assault
A crowd of several hundred gathered
outside of the city jail tonight and made
threats of lynching Jensen. Tonight he
was taken to Colorado Springs.

CHINA WANTS INDEMNITY.
Files S50o,OOO Claim for "BOxer-
Outrnges at Butte, Mont.

Washington, July 9.-The Chinese gov
ernment, through Minister WI Ting
Fang. has filed claim for indemnity to-
the amount of S50O,COO on account of al
legged outrageous treatment of Chinese at
Butte, Mont. There is a suggestion os
Boxer outrages reversed in the presen-
tation of the case to the State Depart
ment, the treatment inflicted upon the
Chinese at Butte being claimed to have
been cruel and oppressive. 1t is charged
that some of them were killed, others
lost their property and nearly all were
ruined in business and many of them
were driven out. The claimants number
several hundred. The outrages date back
to 1856 and ii is declared that the city
council of Butte upheld the rioters AMI
the boycotters; that the state courts upon
appeal decided in language so unjudiclal
as to be itself a subject of complaint that
the city council was right and finally that
relief could be obtained only measurably
through an appeal to the United States
Court. The claim raises some novel and
extremely interesting points of internat-
ional law.

LIBERALS GET TOGETHER.

Sir mpbeII-Bnnnerman still Lead
err of the Opposition.
London, July 9.-The much-discused
meeting of Liberals called by Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman, the liberal leader
in the House of Commons, with the OBJ
ject of ascertaining whether he still re-
tains the confidence of the party, was
held at the Reform Club to-day and re-
suited in the adoption of vote of conf
dence in the leader of the opposition.
All factions of liberals attended. The Lib
eral-Imperialists, headed by H. H. As
quith and Sir William Vernon Harcourt
were the only two who received any
marked recognition on entering. The
crowd watching the arrivals greeted them
with cries of "How's your friend Kru-
ger?'
Sir Henry made a conciliatory speech.
The Imperiaists showed that they
would not be associated with any anti
national policy, but the gathering was
harmonious and seems to have resulted in
a temporary clearing of the air.
In the course of his speech Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman met the Imperial
lists so far as to say the war must oe
brought to a victorious conclusion, but he
thought the Liberals ought to insist on
amnesty in the settlement. While the
country had the sword in one hand, 1t
ought to have the olive branch in the
other and show a disposition to come to
terms with an enemy that had fought so
bravely

Gently denied to the correspondent of the
Associated Press here. that he intends

from a close friend of Mr.. White that he
will resign next'year. Upon reaching his
SEVENTEEN year.
Mr. Whites decision to resign was taken
before the news of his sons suicide yes
terday reached him. but it is believed
that the sons death renders Mr.. Whites
decision irrevocabie. He is at present
staying at Sassnitz, island of Reugen,
in the Baltic. He was informed of his
sons death, and the correspondent un-
derstands that Mr.. White is greatly
shocked and nervously depressed at the
death of his son. Mrs. White. therefore,
fearing the result upon her husband, has
thus far withheld the news of the suicide,
intending to break it gently to Mr.. White.
