HIS MISSION OF EXPIATIoN.
The Chinese Imperial Envoy Received by
Emperor William at POtsdam with
Severity and Impressiveness.

Berlin, Sept. emperor Williams
reception of the Chinese mission of
expiation headed by Prince Chun,
which took place yesterday at Pots
dam, was marked with all the Sc
verify consistent with an audience
nominally friendly. The Chinese i'm
periaI envoy, on entering the palace,
was not accorded salute by the
garde du corps. The emperor re-
ceived him seated. The buttons and
epaulettes of his majesty's white uni
form were enveloped in Grape.
Prince Chun bowed thrice on enter,
ing and leaving. Emperor William
remained seated during the reading of
the Chinese address. Afterward, how
ever, he relaxed his stern demeanor
and welcomed the envoy courteously,
and subsequently, accompanied by his
adjutant, he called upon Prince Chun
at the Orangery. Later in the even
ing the emperor, Prince Chun and a
dozen members of the eXpiatory mis-
sion took tea on an island in the
Spree

OFF FOR BUFFALO.
President Mckinley Leaves Canton to Visit
the ExpositiOn-WIH Afterwards
Go tn Cleveland.

Canton, O., Sept. president and
Mrs. Mckinley attended the county
fair yesterday afternoon. It was chill
dren's day and hundreds of children
from all over the county were pres
emit. Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley, accompa-
MED by officers of the fair associa-
ton, drove around the grounds several
times, stopping at different places
where something attracted their at
tention, but did not leave the car
riage. They watched one heat of a
horse race from the back stretch
and the president pleasantly greeted
a number of groups of children.
The start for Buffalo was made at
ten o'clock this morning. The train
was a special one, and scheduled to
reach Buffalo at 4:55 in the afternoon
The party will leave Buffalo on the re-
turn trip Saturday morning and will
reach Cleveland in the afternoon. In
Cleveland the president will be the
guest of Col. and Mrs. Myron T. Her
rick until Tuesday, when they will go
to the home of Senator and Mrs.
Hanna for the remainder of the week.
The president will participate in the
exercises incident to the national en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic. They will probably return
to Canton on Saturday, September IA,
to remain a few days, after which
they will return to Washington.

COTTON BELT HOLD UP.
It Is Believed the Bandits Who Robbed q
Train at EyIan. Tex, Secured as
Much as $4,000.

Texarkana, Ark, Sept. 5.-The six
men who held up the Cotton Belt
passenger train at Eylau, Tex, Tues
day night are still at large. The rob-
bers evidently rode their horses up
Aiken creek and left them standing
in the stream. They then used a
handcar and went five miles north,
as the handcar was found near where
the train was stopped. After looting
the mail and express cars the rob-
bers returned to the creek, mounted
their horses and again rode down the
stream, thus obliterating their trails
AT one o'clock yesterday afternoon
a special train was dispatched to the
scene of the hold-up with Col. o. K.
Wheeler, chief of the Cotton Belt de-
tectives; Sheriff Stanley Edwards,
United States Marshal John Grant
and a large posse of deputies, who
had with them pack of bloodhounds.
Last night the posses returned here,
having called the bIoodhounds from
the track. 1t has been discovered that
the robbers secured one bag of gold
which required the combined efforts
of two men to carry from the ex-
press car to the engine. The through
safe was dynamited. While the dogs
were trailing it is claimed enough
was learned to place the guilty par
ties, who are believed to be Texar-
kama men, or at least one man, the
remainder being boys. The arrest of
the leader is looked for hourly. The
amount of booty, it is said, will reach
nearly $4,000.
The Cotton Belt has offered a re-
ward of $1,000 for the robbers and the
express company ten per cent. of all
money recovered. All the posses have
been recalled to TeXarkana and pur-
suit is now confined strictly to Tex
arkana

A BIG FIRE AT EMPORIA.
A Large Number of Residences, Planning
Mill, n Lumber Yard and
Church Burned.

Emporia, Kan, Sept. 5.-If it had
not been for the providential inter
position of the wind the greater part
of EmpOria would be laid in ruins by
fire yesterday afternoon. AS it is
a large number of residences, a plan
ing mill, a lumber yard and the beau
tiful First Methodist church lie in
ruins and the damage will closely APP
proach 100000.
The fire was communicated by a
spark from Santa Fe engine to the
sheds of the Crystal Ice company.
This soon burned, as did the planning
mill of E. S. Sprague. There was a
strong wind and the water supply was
short and it seemed as though the
whole town was doomed. An entire
block was burned, when the wind sud-
denly changed and the fire was got
under control.
Soon after the fire department had
returned to its quarters another alarm
was sounded. Some sparks had been
carried by the wind to other buildings
and soon another block of buildings,
including the First Methodist church,
had burned. Two fremen were
caught under the falling walls of the
church, but escaped with slight in
juries.

A DRsERTRR CAPTURED.
Arthur Howard, Jailed at Manila, viii
Shortly Be Court Martialed for Going
Over to the Enemy.

Manila, Sept. 5.-Lieut. Hazard, of
the Third cavalry, has brought in here
Arthur Howard, the American desert
er, who was recently captured by the
lieutenant while in command of some
Macabebe scouts in the island of Min
doro. He was placed in Jail and will
shortly be court-martialed. Howard
denies that he was ever an American
soldier. He claims he was born in
Spain, that his father was English and
his mother Spanish, but that he
espoused the cause of the Filipinos.
In 1896, after peace was declared, he
says he went to Hong Kong and re-
turned in 1898 as Aguinaldo's chief
of artillery. While in that position,
Howard also says, he made friends
with many Americans before the in
surrection, including Gen. Green. He
cast his lot with Aguinaldo at the
time of the rupture with the Ameri-
cans and he says that he brought in
16 American prisoners under u flag of
truce at Angeles in September, 1899.
Howard denies that he commanded
the force at San Mateo which killed
Gen. LawtOn. He speaks like an edu-
Gated Englishman. Lieut.. Hazard
says he, himself, saw Howard at
Angeles in 1899. Two former Cali
fornia volunteers yesterday identified
Howard as deserter from their regi-
ment named Valley, of company A,
who deserted in 1899.

ANOTHER GREAT TRUST.
Coal Mining Companies in Six States to Be
Consolidated with a Capital of $780,
100000 to S3OO,OOO,OOO.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept 4.-The Post
to-day says: All the bituminous coal
mining companies of Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West. Virginia
and Kentucky are to be consolidated
into one great corporation by the J.
P. Morgan syndicate. The enormous
proportions of this corporation can
hardly be realized. The fact that the
Pittsburg Coal company, with its CAPT
tai of So, 900, and the Mononga-
hela River Consolidated Coal and Coke
company, with it's capital of $3O,O0O,-
900, are to be included in the greater
consolidation, brings the matter
strongly before Pittsburg coal opera
tors. The completion of this great
project will mean the consolidation of
from 5000, 900, 900 to $500 600, 900 of in
vested capital. This will represent not
only the undeveloped properties in six
states, but also the actual properties
under development.

AMERICA Is SUPREME
Gen. MacArthur's Report of True
Conditions in the Philippines.
Only a Few Guerrilla Bands Causing Troubls
Civil Government Giving Satisfaction
-AEuinaldO a Person of Charac-
ter and Personality.

Washington, Sept. 4-Gen. MacAr-
thur, who commanded in the Philip
plnes' is here reporting to the war de-
partment. He says relative to condi-
lions in the islands:
There is no organized resistance
to the authority of the United States
IN the island, aside from a few bands
of guerrillas.
The general conditions in the is
lands are excellent. Civil government
has been in practical force in the ar
chlpelago since July 4, last, and it is
now IN full swing. It was instituted
under the most favorable auspices.
The civil government is now being
conducted under the most favorable
circumstances. The people are sat
1st1ed-more than that, in fact, for
they are greatly pleased with the new
administration. 1t does not seem pos
slble that any further trouble of a
general character can ensue.
For the present, so far as oppor-
tunlties are concerned, conditions in
the islands offer all sorts of chances
Tor all sorts of business and pro-
fessional men. Tt is unnecessary to
enumerate the resources and capaci-
ties of the islands. That is subject
that las been eXpatiated upon. They
are, of course, of great volume.
Agulnaldo as parsonage and a
character has been quite surprise
to all of us since his capture. His
conduct while in the custody of Amer
1can forces has been quiet, dignified,
manly and in every other respect of
a kind calculated to excite admira-
ton. Aguinaldo is man of consid-
cradle personality. His dignity soon
came to be a matter of remark among
those with whom he was brought into
contact after his capture, and upon
being confined he did not offer a sign
or utter a word of resentment over
his captivity. The Americans found
him to be great deal more of
man than they first thought he was.
He no doubt has accepted American
supremacy as inevitable, and I believe
he is now satisfied with the manner
in which we are conducting the af-
fairs of the archipelago. He has never
made an inquiry of the Americans as
to what disposition they intended to
make of his case, and he is altogether
amiable and agreeable. What dis
position will finally be made of him is
hard to tell
The general spoke in hopeful tone
concerning the conditions of the Phil
ippines and the prospects of the fu-
ture. While he thought it would be
prudent to retain 10000 troops in
the islands for the present, he thought
that within six months it would be
possible to begin to reduce this force
by degrees.
Gen. Macarthur is particularly in
terested in the educational problem,
and looks to the schools to make good
citizens of the Filipinos. He says
that, regardless of their political feel
ings, nearly all the Filipinos are ex-
ceedingly anxious to learn English,
and the children are remarkably apt
pupils. He is also impressed with the
Importance of direct cable commune
cations between Manila and San Fran
cisco.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
The First Stake of the Exposition to Be
Held at st. Louis Driven For
est Park.

ST. Louis, Sept. Aust four months
from the date or organization of the
exposition company, the first stake of
the worlds fair, to- be held in this
city in 1903, to celebrate the one hun
dredth anniversary of the Louisiana
purchase was driven yesterday on the
site at Forest park. Officers and di-
rectors of the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position company, municipal officials
and others assembled in the fore
noon on the site near the structural
center of the grounds and there the
stake was driven by William H
Thompson, president of the National
Bank of Commerce, in his official ca
pacity of chairman on the committee
on grounds and buildings. President
DaYi6 r. Francis, of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition company; G. P.
Walbridge, representing the commit
tee on ceremonies, and President
Hiram Phillips, of the board of public
improvements, made addresses. At
the conclusion of the ceremonies, the
stake, which had been specially pre-
pared for the occasion, was with
drawn for preservation and a stake
ordinarily used by surveyors substi-
tuted for it.

cUBA's INDEPENDENCE.
The United States VIII Do Everything Pos
sible to Assist the Island in Form
ing Government.

Washington, Sept. 5.-War depart
ment officials believe that the Cubans
will be able to establish their indie
pendent form of government by May
or June. The administration does
not propose to countenance any in
reference with the natural progress
of events in this direction. While it
has been repeatedly urged that this
country was placing obstacles in the
way of the Cubans in forming their
government, officials of the depart
ment say that the expressions of Sec
rotary Root, while he was in Wash
ington last week, show that the presi-
dent and the administration will do
everything possible to assist the Gu
bans in the work which they have in
hand. What may develop in case the
Cubans find self-government unsatis-
factory and are unable to maintain
order and preserve peace and carry
the machinery of their government is
not discussed by officials at Washing
ton.

GuerrilIas and Bandits vigorously Dealt
with-The Case OF SimpliciO GerOmiIIa
Reviewed by Gen. ChaRee.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The outrages
committed by armed guerriIlas and
bandits against innocent Filipinos
continue to be vigorously dealt with
by the authorities in the Philippines.
The records in about 20 cases were
carried at the war department yes
terday. They show that the death
penalty was inflicted upon 10 muir
derers by military commissions and
that five more offenders were SEN
fenced to hard labor of from IS to
30 years. In the case of Simplicio
Geromilla, who was sentenced to be
hanged by a military commission, of
which Lieut.. Col. Swigert was presi-
dent, for acting as a leader of an
armed band of insurgents and firing
upon and killing two American sol
diers, although at the time living I'M
der the protection of the military
authority of the United States as an
amigo, Gen. Chaffee disapproved the
sentence and ordered the prisoner lib
Grated. Says Gen. Chaffee in his in
dorsement: ''The finding cannot log
icaIly be sustained. The killing of the
deceased soldiers in an engagement
with regular detachment of the
public enemy is not murder, but
natural consequence incidental to
state of war. 1t is not commended
that the accused himself did the kill
ing, and as these American soldiers
fell in battle, he can only be held
on the theory that he was one of
band combined together for the COM
mission of murder, which theory does
not meet the facts proved. The ac-
cused is doubtless guilty and could
have been convicted of being a war
traitor, in that while living within
the lines of United States occupation
he aided and abetted the enemy, but
for this offense he was not tried and
the reviewing authority may not sub
stitute one finding for another
