Chinese Governor Warns Mission
aries Against MeddIing in Tenn
poral Affairs.


Washington, Aug. 3.--The State De-
partment has received a copy of a re-
markable proclamation issued by Gov.
Yuan of Shan Tupg, on June I, defin-
ing the relations that must exist be-
tween magistrates and the native
Christians. The proclamation deals
with the subject in language so ener-
getic as to make it evident that the
Chinese magistrates will not allow the
missionaries to exercise the same in
fluence as heretofore in local affairs or
in any other than. religious matters in
the future.
Gov. Yuan states that he has receiv-
ed many reports from Chinese officials
that unworthy members of the church
were practicing their religion simply
for the protection ii afforded them, and
were lightly setting aside the law of
the land and seeking occasions for
quarrel, and that such affairs were
daily increasing in number"
He points out that 1.-THE missionaries
are merely preachers of religion. They
have no authority whatever to interfere
in the affairs of the Chinese people, nor
any power to exercise official functions,
as everybody ought to know" There
fore the Governor enjoins his magis-
trates to make no distinction between
church and people, to let no one else
presume to exercise his authority for
controlling the people. He says:
THE most important matter is that
justice should be done to both sides.
1t makes no difference whether the peo-
pie annoy the Christians or the Chris
tians annoy the people; let there be a
clear distinction made between the
crooked and the straight, and it will
then be impossible that any occasion
for interference should arise"

Street Car strike verges Closely
Upon RfOting.

Upon RiOting.
Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 3.-The street
car strike made lively day for Knox
Vile, but evening came without any
serious trouble, although at times it
seemed as though mob violence would
gain the upper hand. What few cars
the Tranction Company operated were
run on schedule, although they were
lightly patronized. by the public, who
feared they would be subjected to in
dignities. Sympathizers with the strik-
ers grew bolder. Switches were inter-
fered with and trolleys pulled off the
wires, one striker being arrested for
that offense.
o'clock, for none was run after dark,
were almost mobbed. Trolleys were
pulled off, torpedoes placed on the
tracks, and in one instance the trolley
wire was torn loose. In front of the
Imperial Hotel Conductor Trip, a new
man from South Carolina, is said to
have kicked a boy who had boarded
his car. Tripp was jerked off his car
by mob and so badly mistreated that
he is suffering from concussion of the
brain. Soon after an officer followed by
a bowling mob, went to the traction
company headquarters to serve a war
rant on a motorman. The doors were
shut to keep the crowd out, and the Of
ficer considering this a resistance push
ed in the door, the mob following him.
General Manager Howell ordered them
out, and the officer struck at him.
Howell retaliated by trying to brain
him with a walking cane. A warrant
was sworn out for the general mana
ger and he later gave bond for assault

"a FIGHT TO A FINISH"
This is What the Steel OfciaIs Say
VIII Now Ensue.

Pittsburg, Aug. SIT will be a
fight to the finish. No quarter will be
given. We are prepared to spend all
the money and time necessary to wipe
out the Amalgamated Association in
all of our mills"
This was the message that came over
the wire from New York to local Of
ficials of the United States Steel Cor
poration this afternoon. Officials were
waiting long after the usual Saturday
afternoon closing time to get word of
the conference in New York between
the executive board of the Amalga-
mated Association and the genral Of
ficers of the big trust. Two messages
came. The first stated that the con-
ference had adjourned between the
workers and Mr.. Morgan after re-
ceiving his ultimate decision in the
matters in dispute.
The second message contained the
statement also that appears above.
Some of the officials heard the message
with misgivings. Others with uT4con-
cealed satisfaction. One of the officials
left his office. declaring that he was
glad of it. The fight would surely be
carried to a finish and the corporation
would once and for all be freed from
the influence of the union men. At
the headquarters of the Amalgamated
Association few were about
The only regret heard among the
strikers who were about was that Pres
ident Shaffer had temporized with the
trust officials so long. While the work.
ers themselves are ignorant of the gen.
eral plans of the officials of the or
ganization regarding the extension OF
the strike throughout the union mills or
the trust, they are confident, however,
that the general strike order will be
issued in a short time.
That the officials of the United States
Steel Corporation have been preparing
for this battle was made apparent dur
ing this afternoon. 1t was learned on
the best authority that an attempt is
to be made at once to break the strike
by the importation of non-union men
into all the idle mills. One of the Of
ficials of the companies now involved
said that so far as furnishing skilled
men for the idle plants was concerned
il is only necessary to- distribute the
skilled workers in the present nom
union mills in all the plants and make
them general instructors of green
hands, to soon develop more of this
class of tradesmen.
1t is learned tonight that no time
will be lost by the Amalgamated Asso-
citation in completing it's plans for a
continuation of the struggle, and a
meeting of the executive board will be
held at headquarters tomorrow for this
purpose. 1t is considered probable by
all interested that the strike order will
become general. calling out the union
men in the National Steel Company,
the Federal Steel Company and the Ma
tional Tube Company. Nothing def
mite, however, can be known until af-
Tor tho meeting tO-morrow All the
wokers seen tonight are confident
that the order will be issued at once.

and hearty

gan They declined to make any modi-
ncation of the terms offered by them
just one week ago, when Messrs. Shat
Ter ana Williams journeyed here for
the first conference. Mr.. Shaffer and
the other men of the Amalgamated As
sociation insisted that more liberal
terms be offered to them. There was a
general discussion as to the whole
osition involved. and each mill the
unlonization of which has been dis
puted, was considered in detail. When
each side had fully expressed itself the
steel officials withdrew from the room
In order to let the labor representatives
confer privately. The latter decided to
reject the offer of the steel corporation

room so informed him.
The Adjournment.
Mr.. Morgan and his two partners
Withdrew almost at once and a little
later the Amalgamated men took their
leave also. The latter went at once to
the Stevens House and after a hasty
lunch went into executive session. 1t
was z O'Clock when their meeting be-
gan and Ais o'clock when President
Shaffer came down into the lobby and
announced that they had concludes
their work here and would leave at
once for their homes. President Shaf-
fer declined to say a word in addition
to the formal statement which was
given out by Secretary Williams and
his companions were equally reticent.
Mr.. Shaffer asked that the statement
be printed in full saying that the
strikers wished the public to under
stand their position.
Not an intimation of the future pol
icy of the Amalgamated Association
i'm w CinU the M ial ha
which it faces could be obtained from
any member of the party. Shaffer
seemed grave and serious despite the
vindication which his companions gave
him in their official statement, while
the other Amalgamated men seemed in
very high spirits. Shaffer paid the bill
for the party at the hotel and left, say
ing that he intended to take the first
train to Pittsburg. When the Amalga-
mated men left him Mr.. Schwab went
at once to the office of J. P. Morgan
and had a talk with Mr.. Bacon. He
went home early in the Afternoon, as
did all the other men who represented
the corporation in the final debate of
the issues which divide them and their
men. 1t was evident that they expected
nothing to come from the second
meeting of the Amalgamated represen-
tatives then in progress.
Will Make no Statement.
No statement in behalf of the steel
corporation was made and none of its
representatives would talk for publica-
ton. 1t is believed here that there will
be immediate action from both sides,
the expectation being that the steel
corporation will attempt the operation
of some of it's mills independent of the
union and that the Amalgamated Asso-
a. xrriH 0aI than in a.
thy with them to strike. If there are
no further efforts at conciliation and
the strike is extended it may develop
into the largest conflict of the kind in
the history of the country. Figures at
this time as to the number of men and
properties that would be involved are
pronounced unreliable by conservative
men who know the trade, because
many of the claims of strength put
forward on either side are disputed and
can be tested only in actual conflict.

FOR DISOBEDIENCE.
Lcopolsio CasteIianO Shot His wife
Dead mt Tampa, Fla.

Tampa, Fla. Aug. 3.-Antoinette Cas-
tallano declared that she was going
visiting this afternoon and Leopoldo
Castallano. her husband, told her not
to go. She started and when about
twenty feet from the house he shot
her dead. The murderer fired two
shots, both of which took effect in the
back of the head. and either would
have produced death. The shooting
occurred on Eighth avenue in the
fourth ward in the Italian settlement,
both being of that race.
Castallano made his escape immedi-
ately after the shooting and none of
those who saw the tragedy could tell
which way he went. The excitement
was great among the Italians, who are
also victims of the strike and members
of La Resistencia union. At z o'clock
this evening Castallano walked in the
police station and said he wanted 10

No Successor Yet Named for Iximber-

Washington, Aug. 3.-Acting Secre-
tary Hackett had expected to be able
to announce the name of the third
member of the Schley Court of Inquiry
to-day, but could not do so up to the
time the department closed. Neverthe-
less, 1t is surmised that he has heard
from at least one of the rear admirals
he has addressed on the subject and
that he has communicated the results
to Secretary Long and will await his
pleasure before making any announce
ment. Secretary Long has expressly
delegated this task of making a selec-
tion to Acting Secretary Hackett. but
as matter of courtesy 1t is probable
that he would be acquainted with the
choice before it is made public. Judge
Advocate General Lemly left to-day on
his annual vacation to New England
to be gone a month, but while away
he will keep in touch with the case
as far as he can conveniently do so,and
will be the directing mind should any
question arise requiring a legal decis-
ion.

CHINESE MOUNTED PATROL.
They Will Protect Foreign Travel

CTS atohes
Washington, Aug. 3.-The State De-
partment has received through Mr..
Squiers, secretary of legation at Pekin,
a note from Ii Hung Chang, describing
the regulations for the control of rhe
mounted patrol which it is proposed
to establish along the road between
Ching Ting and Pao Ting Flu. Mr..
Squiers says this is the first step on
the part of the Chinese authorities to-
ward the protection of foreigners trav-
cling through the disturbed districts of
the provinces of Shan ST and Chi Ii.
The regulations are quantity expressed,
but in substance they provide for the
establishment of military posts at nine
stations on the road, the commanders
of which are to furnish escorts for
travellers. The escort is to keep within
twelve feet of the traveller, whose pace
must set theirs. 1t is to disperse peo-
pie who gather about the traveller and
are boisterous, and it's members are
not to accept any pay from a traveller

DISABLED TRANSPORT RESCUED.
LennOx TOwed Back TO San Fran

San Francisco, Aug. 3.-The disabled
transport Lennox was towed To port
this morning by the steamer Iaqua,
which picked her up Thursday night,
nine miles west of Piedras Blancas. At
that time the Lennox was still drift
ing down the coast and met the Iaqua
as the latter vessel was on her way
up from San Diego to Eureka.
From the time she broke down until
picked up by the Iaqua the Lennox
drifted and sailed under jury rig over
100 miles. Nothing was seen of the
transport tug Slocum. which went out
Thursday afternoon to the rescue of
the transport. Lieut.. Dorcey says
there is no truth in the report that
the transport ran short of supplies and
that the men were on the verge of
starvation. He fed them on half ra.
tions as a matter of precaution and
kept the horses in reserve to kill in
case they were pushed to the last ex-
tremity. But they had enough provi-
sions to hold out for three months.

CRuI1 Does Not Believe His Son
Guilty.
Lynchburg, Va, Aug. 3.-An Asso-
ciated Press telegram was published in
this mornings papers from Seattle,
Wash. stating that Quartermaster's
Clerk John McCaull had disappeared
from the transport Egbert and that
upon an investigation of the safe a
shortage was discovered of $5, ,463.
Mr.. John McCaull is a son of Capt.
p. II. McCaull of this city, and a re-
porter called upon the captain to-day
at the Arlington Hotel. Capt. McCaull
said he had received telegram from
Mr.. James r. Baskerville, who is
freight clerk on the transport Egbert,
and his brother in-law, dated Victoria,
b. c., Aug. 1, which read:
Johnny left in Seattle. Everything
straight. Don't worry"
The captain interpreted this to mean
that his son had been left in Seattle
by accident and Mr.. Baskerville know
ing that exaggerated reports would be
made of it had sent the telegram
II am satisfied" continued Capt. Nc
Caull, that when the Egbert returns
from Alaska everything will be found
correct and satisfactory. The Egbert
should return in about thirty days My
family are at Seattle and will remain
during the heated term, and / feel sure
that had anything serious occurred
should have heard from them"
Capt. McCaull said his opinion was
that his son had paid off the crew up
to July 81, but not knowing the pre-
vious circumstances and being so far
away ii was impossible for him to say
more until he received explanation by
mail.
