man-Mrs. Nation Charges God
with Imprisoning Her.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Feb 19.-Twen-
ty masked farmers, armed with shotguns,
attempted to raid a saloon in Millwood, a
small place, fourteen miles north of here,
last night, and in the melee that followed
Mrs. Rose Hudson, wife of the bartender,
was shot and killed. William Webb. one
of the raiders, was shot in the arm, and
two or three others were slightly hurt. One
hundred shots were fired.
To-day four farmers were arrested for
completely in the saloon raid at Millwood.
Kan, that resulted in the killing of Mrs.
Hudson and were lodged in the county Jail
here. Tomorrow the county attorney says
he will file a complaint against them for
murder in the first degree. The raiders are
John Willburn, William Thornburg, Andy
Wilson and Joseph Turner. All are young
men and all but Turner are married. Back
of the alleged raid there is said to have ex-
listed a feud of long standing. Other ar
rests may follow, as warrants have been is
sued
The saloon was run by Mrs. Michael
Lochner. She had been warned to close
the place by Monday, but refused. At 10
o'clock last night twenty men. all armed
and wearing handkerchiefs for masks, ap-
preached the saloon. Two of the number,
Joe Turner and John Willburn, entered and
ordered drinks. Bartender Hudson had
scarcely set the glasses on the bar when
the men gave a signal. Immediately the
door was burst open and masked men
rushed lin. Half a dozen shotguns were
raised to the ceiling and fired, apparently
to warn the saloon keeper that they meant
business.
Mrs. Hudson rushed to the scene from
the living rooms in the rear and stood in
the doorway. She had barely reached the
spot when a gun was leveled at the door
and discharged. The charge struck her
above the eyes, and she fell mortally
wounded. Hudson rushed to his wife's side
but she died before he could carry her to
another room. During the shooting Will
liam Webb, one of the raiders, was acci-
dentally shot in the arm and two or three
others were wounded slightly. A few more
shots were fired, but the mob, alarmed at
the killing of Mrs. Hudson, quickly left
the place without stopping to destroy the
liquors and fixtures.
Anticipating the attack Hudson had
gathered about him ten armed men. They,
however. taken by surprise, were stam-
peded, and this fact and the killing of
Mrs. Hudson probably prevented a bloody
riot. The affray lasted but a few minutes
and the details were not learned till to-
day. the raiders having gone quietly to
their homes. The members of the party
are believed to be young farmers who live
near Millwood.

LONDON, Feb. 19-The war in South

questions in the House of Commons to-
day. The secretary for war, Mr. Broderick.

ders had been issued that all Beers cap
tured in khaki uniforms were to be shot.
He said that neither Lord Roberts, General
Kitchener nor any other responsible gen.
eral had isshed such an order.
The secretary for the colonies. Mr.. Cham
berlain, informed the House that a procla
nation setting forth the intentions of the
government in relation to the administra-
ton of the new South African colonies had
already been drafted, but had not been is

CHINESE GIVEN EIGHT DAYS
TO COMPLY WITH THE DEMAND FOR
EXECUTION OF BOXERS.
Rumor that the Conditions Have Al
ready Been Accepted and that the
Emperor Is at Cheng-Tu-Fu.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-Minister Con-
ger has been instructed by cable to COM
municate to the foreign ministers at Pc
king the feeling OF the United States gov
srnment that further hostile expeditions
should not be INDUCED in at this time This
action was taken by the State Department
after the Cabinet discussion to-day had de-
veloped the attitude of the administration.
Tt is said that this course was regarded as
best. since it left room for another appeal
TO the powers directly through the foreign
Offices, in case Mr.. Conger's efforts are fu-
tile. The State Department officials decline
to make public the text of the note. How
ever. It was said to be In perfect accord
with the policy already developed and to
make manifest the deep conviction of the
United States government that those pro-
posed hostile expeditions are in violation
OF the rights Of the individual parties to
the peace negotiations. If the threat of
military expeditions is based on a desire to
force the Chinese ENJOYS to speedier action
on the ministerial proposals. then it must
be stated that our government disapproves,
feeling that 1t has not yet been demon
strated sufficiently that the Chinese gov
ernment Is not acting TO the best OF its
ability.
Regarding the insisterce of the foreign
ministers on the imposition of the death
penalty on the whole list of prescribed Chi
nese officials, it is recalled that the Chi
nese agreed to administer the severest pos
sible punishment, and 1t is conceived here
that 1t may be entirely impossible for that
government to go to the length demanded
by the ministers. These considerations
are. OF course, known to the foreign minis
ters In Picking. but 1t viii be Mr. Congers
duty to refresh their recollections as to the
engagements their governments entered
into with the United States. we'll with
China. and he will point out that our atti-
tude is in exact accordance with the out
line laid down IN the formal notes preced-
Ing the beginning of the negotiations. The
United States government will continue to
deal with the other powers through their
diplomatic agencies, ignoring the sugges-
tion that the ministers at Peking have no
control over the military forces stationed
there. and. carrying out the same theory
General Chaffee will act in thorough har-
mony with any suggestions made by Mr..
Conger.
During the Cabinet meeting cablegram
from Minister Conger was submitted re-
ferring to the proposed military expedition.
1t disclosed the fact that our minister had
protested to the minister's council against
hostile movements Of this character, but
that his protest had failed TO receive con-
sideration, the other foreign ministers taxi

WAS wALDERsEE BLUFFINGs
His Threat Said to Have fastened
Compliance by China.

LONDON, Feb. 20.-Dr Morrison, wiring
to the Times from Peking, says: THE
Chinese declare that the threat of the Wal
dersee expedition has been successful and
that the court has yielded and issued
decree fully complying with the demands
of the foreign ENJOYS the ques ton of
punishments. These statements require
corroboration, but they are generally be-
Iieved here"

ing Post, who says he understands that
General Voroyan, the French commander,

dersee in the expedition ana who en-
phasizes the difficulties OF transportation
and commissiarat likely to be experienced
In the provinces of Shan-Si and Shen-Si,
10th OF which are afflicted with famine,
says: "A large Chinese army is prepar-
ing to meet the foreign advance" He adds
that 'even If the Empress dowager yields
on the punishment question il is desirable
that the expedition should bring the En-
peror back and detain him until the de-
mands of the powers are satisfied. The
settlement will be facilitated If the En-
reror is removed from the possibility Of an
noyance by the faction of the Empress
dowager. Even the United States advised
action in this direction early in negotia-
tions. Logically, therefore, the American
troops should cooperate with the other
forces to accomplish this end"
The Standard publishes the following
from Tien-Tsin: "It is reported that the
Emperor has arrived at Cheng-Tu-Fu, In
the province of Sze-Chuan, and that there
is no prospect of the court returning to
Peking. 1t is generally believed among the
Chinese that further hostilities are pend
ing"
The Waldersee expedition, according to
a dispatch to the Morning Post from Tien-
Isin, is to start March 1. Its motives and
the mystery surrounding it the subject

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Referring to

in making appropriations The responsible
ity for what is done rests on the Repub-

wise legislation and to avoid all extrava-

economical administration. and we must
not disappoint them. l have no doubt that
out of the conflict OF opinion the better
judgment of level-headed legislators will
prevail, and that the result will be good

fair and reasonable necessities Of the public

promise. In this way alone our power will

COULD NOT KILL THE BIRD.
After Being Fourteen Days in an
IcebOx the Albatroas
stiII Lived.

A writer says Sir william CORY
told him some time ago that on one
of his steamships coming from New
Zealand an albatross, supposed to have
been choked dead, kept in an ice box
at a temperature which was always
much below freezing point, was found
to be alive at the end of IA days. Capt.
Reed, in command Of the vessel in
question, says Nature, supplemented
the story with the statement that
the bird was supposed TO be killed by
being strangled with twine tied as
tightly as possible around the neck.
This twine was not removed. The
beak was closed and tied and the legs
crossed behind the tail and tied. It
was then wrapped in an old meat
cloth and put with three other birds
in the return box at the end of the
port snow trunk. 1t remained there
for certainly not less than ten davs.
On the snow boy complaining that the
bird "grunted" when he went near it
the albatross was taken out, when it
was found that It could move its neck
about and open its bealS and the eyes
were open and lifelike. The lower
half of the body and the legs were
frozen hard. The fastening, on the
beak had come off. It was alive for
two hours after being taken out and
was then strangled and put in the
snow box.
