ing Of Su Shih Shin.
San Francisco, June 11.-Collector
Of the Port Stratton recommended to
the treasury department that Su Shih
Shin, the Chinese reformer and schol.
ar. be allowed to land under section 6
OF the exclusion act, as trader.
The Chinese authorities in this
country are very anxious to keep Su

Itical reasons. He Is the leader of
the reform party which. is seeking to
place Emperor Kwang Hsu on the
throne instead of the dowager en-
press. Pending the decision of the
treasury department Su Shih Shin is
held in the detention shed at the Pa
cific Mail dock. Collector Stratton
says there is reward of $4,000 on
his head. and he has taken means to
protect him from assault by any of the
svmpathizers of the dowager en-
press.
Should the treasury department set
aside the recommendation of the COL
lector and decide to send Su Shih Shin
back to China his attorneys will apply
for a writ of habeas corpus in the
United States district court on the
ground that he is only political Of
fender and that the Constitution
guarantees asylum to offenders of that
class. Su Shih Shin is 25 years of age
and is said to be one of the three lead
ing writer's of China.

A LIVELY BATTLE.
Sherff's Posse and Negro Desperate
Eioht.


Unadilla, Ga, June 11.--A lively bat
tie occurred near Grovania, about
nine miles from this city, between a
sheriff and his posse and negro des-
perado, resulting in the killing of
Hence Wright. the negro. and the
probable fatal wounding of John
Mathis of ElkoX. Ga. The posse sur
rounded the cabin and the African de-
liberately came out, Winchester in
hand. and began firing at the men.
When he had consumed his ammuni-
tion he turned and ran back into the
house. AT this juncture the word was
given and the crowd closed in rapidly,
reaching the house just as the negro
began firing again from the interior.
The doors and windows were quickly
broken open. In one minute over 20
pistol shots were fired, about 10 talk
ing effect in the body of the negro.
In the engagement John Mathis re-
ceived a ball in his leg, which severed

Denver Judge Objects to Criticisms Of
His Actions by Ministers.

Denver, June 11.-Judge Peter L..
Palmer administered severe judicial
rebuke to more than 100 "reformers," :"
who appeared in his court, as they
had previously announced through the
newspapers they would do, to protest
against the granting of injunctions
against the city fire and police boards
in the cases of restaurant claiming
the right to serve drinks on Sunday
with meals, and saloonkeeper who
held that under the law he was en-
titled to sell liquor to women at his
bar.
The Judge closed his remarks by de-
claring that he intended to make judi
cial inquiry into the question of
whether or not certain clergymen of
Denver. who denounced him in their
pulpits Sunday, were in contempt of
court, and that if he satisfied himself
that they were he would Immediately
take their cases up and give them the
full punishment under the laws.

pie Surround the Place.

Port Royal, Pa, June 1.-THE
Pittsburg Coal and Coke company's
shaft No. 2 at this place is again on
fire, after steady running for seven
years, and over 80 men are in the
mines, many of whom, it is feared, will
never be heard from again.
About o'clock smoke was seen to
be issuing from shaft No. 2, which is
on the line of the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie railroad. 1t is thought the fire
started from an explosion and that
six men were in the mine at the time
of the explosion, the men being Jack
Peoples, Tony Stickles, Frank Daven-
port, - DAILY, Lawrence Settler and
John Stakes. Stakes and Settler were
not near the place in which the explo-
sion occurred and upon the arrival of
rescue party they were quickly
brought to the surface, after being
nearly overcome by after damp. They
could give no information as to what
had caused the fire and told the res
cue party that four other men were
entombed. About o'clock Superin-
tendent William McCune of West
Newton, general superintendent of
this district; Dennis Wortley, pit boss
of the mine; Michael Roy, foreman
Of the Euclid mines and several other
bosses, with about 20 men. went down
shaft No. 1. which is Just opposite
on the Baltimore and Ohio side of the
river, and
Have Not Been Heard From Since.
About three hours after the rescue
party had been in the mine two more
explosions were heard. Meantime the
crowd around the opening of the shaft
had increased, the crowd including
many mothers, wives and sisters of
men entombed. All sorts of plans
have been suggested for the rescue
of the men. Some talk of turning the
river into the mines, but many are
opposed to this idea for fear of drown
ing the miners. All that would be
necessary to let the deluge of water
loose in the mines would be to pull a
plug which was placed in the mines
after the explosion of seven years
ago and the water would rush in the
mines at rapid rate. DAILY, one Of
the men known to be in the burning
mine, went in for the f-:~tt time in the
morning, and it is not known who he
is or where he is from.
At II o'clock four men volunteered
to go down shaft No. and No. 8, and
one man down No. 1, but up to this
time it is not known whether they
have succeeded in making any rescue.
Gas and smoke are issuing from the
mines and over 200 men, women and
children are waiting for some news of
relatives. Doctors have been called
and assistance is being offered on

death and cremate another body pro-

became i'll according to programme,
but did not rally and died Her body
was at once cremated. An inquest
was held by Assistant Coroner John
B. Weckler without jury and Week
Ter returned to the coroner's office a
verdict that the woman had died of

woman is shrouded in mystery and
physicians OIL the stand differed wide

was murdered, although it could not

Reason for Americas Declining
Joint Guarantee,

London June 1.-THE Times in the
course of an editorial On the Chinese
indemnity guarantees, says:
"Doubtless the United States is ac-
tuated by the same reasons as Great
Britain in declining a joint guarantee
of the Chinese indemnity. The Amer
leans are business like people. They
are no more likely to lend credit than
money to oblige China's creditors, and
Washington's decision must have been
foreseen and discounted long ago."

the health authorities at first refused to
allow the body to be brought to Savan-

was decided to allow the burial here. The
funeral was private, the services being

In spite Of the fact that the Pyramid
Pile Cure is so we'll known as a certain
cure for every form of piles, there are
still many people who think surgical

proven beyond a doubt, however, that
surgical operations for piles are unnec-

Southern Again Quickens Its SEIZED

Southern Again Quic<ens It's Sched-
uIe to Meet the $. A. l..
The Southern Railway and the Plant
System will quicken the schedule of the
train that leaves Savannah early in the
morning as Pant System No. %, having
arrived as Southern Railway train No.
SO. The new move is but another inning
in the game that is being played by the
Southern Railway and the Seaboard Air
Line for the heavy stake of the extra
compensation that is granted by the gov
eminent for handling the United States
fast mail.
No. % has been leaving Savannah at
3:25 a. M, and arriving at Jacksonville
at 7:2O a. m, when 1t was on time. Be-
ginning to-day, it Is scheduled to leave
here at 2:3O a. m. and arrive at Jackson
vile at $50 a. m.
About a month ago the Southern put on
No. SO, from Charlotte to Jacksonville.
The train is composed of only an engine,
the through sleeper from Jersey City and
the mail car. 1t was put on to meet the
competition of the Seaboard. which was
after the fast mail and was beating the
Scuthern in its running to get II.
About a week ago the Seaboard follow
-
schedule so as to arrive at Jacksonville
at $50 a. m, 1t is to meet this arriving
time at Jacksonville that the Southern
has quickened up It's service.
No. 80, under the system that has work
ed up TO to-day. has been made up az
Charlotte. 1t is-now made up at Wash
ington. running through from that city
to Jacksonville making only the stops
that are absolutely necessary.
1t remains 40 be seen what the next
step of the Seaboard Air Line will be.
1t is expected that it will meet the move
of the Southern by managing to decrease
still more the time taken up in running
from Washington to Jacksonville.
The throughV mails gain by the quick
running. but the local mails suffer The
government does not have mail clerks on
all It's trains, so that local mail cannot
get off after the departure OF No. % until
after O'Clock in the morning. This is a
hardship on Savannah. Passengers on No.
% and the Seaboards fast train do not
especially appreciate the quick trips,
either for they arrive at jacksonville
sooner than they care to leave their sleep
ers.

TO CHANGE THE BOUNDARY.
Pierce County Farmers Want to Get
Into Ware County.

Pierce County Farmers Want to Get
Into Ware County.
waycross, Ca, March ia number of
prominent farmers living in Ware and
Pierce counties have prepared a petition
to the ordinaries asking that a part of
the boundary line between the two coun-
ties be changed This is done on account
of che long distance to ana great diff
cIlty experienced in reaching Blaokshear.
the county seat of Pierce. The distance
from Waycross is about five miles. and
in attending court they are compelled TO
come TO this citysehd take the train for
Biackshear
The petitioners ask that the boundary
line be changed as follows Beginning
where the present boundary line runs
south from Satilla river, on the western
boundary line Of lot No. T. in the Ninth
District of Pierce county, keeping the
center of the stream till il reaches the
eastern boundary line of lot No. 81 in the
same district. thence running south along
the eastern boundary line of lots "a, So 81
and 81 til It reaches the Brunswick and
Western Railroad, the present county line
at this point. The proposed change
will cut off from Pierce county just nine
lots. or about 400 acres.
The petition must be referred to the
ordinaTies of Ware and Pierce, who pres
ent it to the grand juries Of the two
counties. If these august bodies pass
favorably on the matter it will be pub
lished in some paper with a general cir
culation in each county. Then bill will
be introduced in the state Legislature,
authorizing and legal zing the change.
The matter will be laid before the grand
juries of Ware and Pierce at their spring
terms of Superior Court.
