WICHITA, Kan, May PA special to the
Eagle says that Bill Campbell. a negro, was
lynched at Pond Creek. o. T., at 10 o'clock
by a mob OF 400 persons, who broke into
the Jail, took him 10 the scene of his crime
and hanged him to a telegraph pole. While
en- route to the place Of execution the negro
sang Nearer, my God. to Thee" and other
hymns.
The crime for which Campbell was hanged
was the fatal shooting of Deputy Sheriff
George Smith. The negro, 1T appears. was
using abusive language to several boys,
when Bill Fisher, a white man. interfered.
row followed, the negro drawing two pis-
tolls. Deputy Sheriff Smith tried to arrest
him, when the negro took deliberate aim
and shot him through the right temple
The negro then began to back away, hold
ing the two pistols on the crowd. He backed
into the arms Of Banker Joseph Mcclellan
who grasped his arms and twisted them
till the pistols dropped. Mcclellan then
dragged him to the sheriffs Office. A mob

TROUBLE FOR DIR. DOWIE
CHICAGO CLEARING HOUSE TO SHIT
DOWN ON HIS BANK.
Leader of the Zionists In Hard Lines
Statement by Former Con-
trOller j. III. Eckels.

CHICAGO. May 25.-With the grand jury.
health department closing in on Dowieism,
financial difficulties are arising 10 threaten
DR." John Alexander Dowie. Formal no
tice has been served on the Zion Bank, of
which Dowie is head and front, that after
next Thursday, unless unlooked-for ar
rangements are made. it's business will not
be handled through the Chicago Clearing
House. Warning to this effect was entered
by the Commercial National Bank, through
which institution the Dowie concern has
made its clearings. Unless arrangements
can be made with some other bank by May
80 the business of Dowie's banking house
will be shut out altogether, as no direct
contract will be accepted by the clearing
house officials.
President James H. Eckels, Of the Com
mercial National Bank. stated tonight
that the notice that Zion Bank would have
to sever its dealings with his institution
was because public discussion had
reached point where there could be no
other alternative. THE Zion bank" said
Mr.. Eckels, has been clearing through
the Commercial National Bank since il was
started some two years and two months
ago. Charles J. Barnard, who organized the
Zion bank had been chief clerk in our
house for twenty years, and it was chiefly
through courtesy to him that we cleared
for the Dowie institution. Last winter the
matter was discussed and the Dowie peO-
pie were notified that Ii was desired that
their account be taken out of our hands.
In view of the present widespread dis
cussion and of public opinion affairs came
to a point where we felt that change
should be required and that we had rather
reached the limit of personal favoritism to
Mr.. Barnard.
May 30 we shall cease TO handle their
clearances."

PLANS OF G.. J. GOULD.
Russell Sage's View of the Proposed
TranscOntinentaIL Line.

TranscOntinentaI Line.
NEW YORK, May 25.-Speaking relative
to recent acquisition of railroad properties
by George j. Gould and allied interests,
and the growing belief that the plans for
the Missouri Pacific system aim at connect
ing the Atlantic with the Pacific seaboards,
Russell Sage said that the project would
not, in his judgment, develop any hostili-
ties in the railroad situation. Everything.
he thought would be amicably arranged
He continued: THE general plan is to ex-
tend the system from the Pacific to the
Atlantic ocean. This will doubtless take a
good deal of time. L cannot say how long
The matter of how the road is to get an
outlet to the Atlantic seaboard is in it's
infancy. / have no doubt the plan for the
entire system will be worked out harmoni-
ously In connection with the acquisition
of the Wheeling & Lake Erie and the lire
1t is to build into Pittsburg, it is probable
that short spurs of road, of so or 100 or $50
miles, will be built to accommodate towns
not on the main line"
''Will the Texas Pacific be absorbed by
the Missouri Pacific?"
Yes" said Mr.. Sage; that will come
about"
Some persons profess to believe that the
Gould interests hope TO reach the Atlantic
seaboard by an acquisition of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western, by means of the
Wabash, which connects with ii at Buff
falo There is little evidence that such is
the case 1t is said TO be the fact that
heavy holders of Lacakawanna stock have
recently been sounded as TO whether they
would take $3.50 a share for their stock. But
they believe it is the Erie for whom the
persons who approached them were acting

desirous of rehabilitating the Erie prop

fort might be made to obtain Lackawanna

ATROCITIES BY REBELS
INSTANCE OF SAVAGE CRUELTY BY
INsURGENT FILIPINOS.
Men Hacked to Death, Others Beaten
One Buried Alive and Another
killed on Edge of Grave.

WASHINGTON. May 25.-Ofcial papers
received at the War Department from the
Philippines give the details of many horri-
BILE crimes committed in the islands. for
which the perpetrators were tried before
military commissions convened from time
to time Many of them, for savage cruelty
and pure wantonness, are unsurpassed. "A
native named Flores led a detachment of
about sixty Filipinos on a piratical raid
upon the puebla of Trocin, in Sorsogon, to
plumber a colony of peaceful Chinese mer-
chants. They met with no opposition, yet
nevertheless hacked to death three in
offensive Cinnamon, assaulted another so
murderously as to cause him to lose his left
eye and arm, and carried off for ransom
three other Chinese, native and a Span
lard. Flores was sentenced to be hanged.
A native captain of insurgents in the
army of the famous Alejandrina seized a
Filipino in the full vigor of life and had
him buried alive. A native policeman on
duty in the puebla of Misamis, Min
danao island, was seized by band of ma
tives, tied to post and beaten with gun.
He was then taken out on the highway.
where his assailants finished him with
bolos and pinned on him a paper bearing
this inscription Countrymen, don't initiate
me- for / am an Americanista, and have
talked with the Americans" One victim
was made to stand on the brink of a grave
dug for him and there stabbed to death.

BANK ROBBED OF $4,000
FIRST NATIONAL, OF MENERAL
POINT, WIS, BURGLARIZED.
Entrance to the Vault Effected
Through n Brick Arch and the Safe
Opened with NitrOglycerin.

MINERAL POINT. Wis, May 25.-The
First National Bank of this city was bur-
glarized early to-day, the robbers getting
away with $4,000. mostly currency. The
loss is fully covered by insurance. En-
trance was effected through the shingled
roof of the building, which is a story
structure. thence from the attic to the
vault by digging away the arched brick.
From the inside the vault door was forced
open and the same was blown with nitro
glycerin. The robbers made good their
escape. A reward OF $1,000 is offered for
the arrest of the burglars.
1t is thought the robbery was committed
by two strangers noticed gazing at the
building intently a month ago. AS there
are no night trains out of Mineral Point,
ii is thought the robbers came from a
nearby town and later drove back and
caught a train. which took them to one of
the small towns on the Mississippi, where
they are now supposed to be hiding.

and Let the People Decide
Which Is the More Popular.
PRIMARY TO BE IN NOVEMBER
IF TILLMAN BE SUSTAINED HE WILL
TAKE M'LAURIN'S SEAT.
If Latter Wins He VIII Succeed to the
Long Term to Which the ''Pitch-
forker" Was Elected.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. May 25.-As the out
come of a spirited debate between United
States Senator'S B. r. Tillman and John l..
McLaurin at Gaffney to-day, both of them
have put their resignation in the hands of
Governor McSweeney. to take effect Nov.
Is. They have resigned with the under
standing that they are to go before the peo-
pie of the State in joint canvass. and the
sentiment of the people is to be expressed
in the vote in a Democratic primary. to be
held in November.
Tillman was last summer reelected to
the United States Senate for six years. and
McLaurin has yet two years to serve.
Should Tillman be sustained McLaurin' S
seat will be vacant. If McLaurin is sue
cessful he will succeed to Tillman's long
term.
McLaurin had been invited to Gaffney.
and friends of Tillman asked him to come,
too. McLaurin accused Tillman of attack
ing him. The latter declared that he would
McLaurin agreed to the proposition. Sem
ator Tillman later submitted written
proposition which was acceptable to Sem
ator McLaurin. except that the latter want
ed the election to be held In October or No
vember instead of this summer. McLaurin
stated that this was suggested on account
of his poor health. There were several
proposals submitted between the two. Sem
ator McLaurin wanted the race to be con-
fined to Senator Tillman and himself. The
latter declared that he could not dictate to
the state Democratic executive committee
when the primary should be held or how
many candidates there should be.
The dual resignation was finally forward
ed to Governor McSweeney and was ac-
companied by no conditions. 1t reads: I'VE
hereby tender our designations as senator's
for the State of South Carolina in the
United States Senate, TO take effect Nov

Under the election methods In this State
the state Democratic executive committee
will arrange campaign and the candidates
will speak in each of the forty counties in
the State. At the primary election the can
didates will be voted for directly. The Gen.
eral Assembly merely confirms the action
of the primary. The campaign will be
pitched a year earlier than expected but
there are half a dozen candidates in the
field. Each must specify for which term
he is candidate.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, May 25.-After
leaving San Francisco this morning the
Presidents train ran through crowds at
all the stations. Minute stops were made at
Port Costa and Tracy, at each of which
places the President shook hands with a
number cf people. AT Stockton. through
some misunderstanding, the inhabitants
thought the train would stop thirty min
Utes. The entire population was at the
station, and a stand had been erected
alongside of the track But the train only
halted for two minutes. The President ap-
peared upon the rear platform and bowed
his acknowledgements to the vast assem-
blage. He also shook hands with some of
those who crowded about the platform.
Since the route OF the return journey to
Washington has been published kilograms
have pourned in upon the President asking
him TO stop at almost every city and town
Secretary Cortelyou has uniformly re-
sponded to these appeals that the President
was going back to Washington by the most
direct route, and that only such stops as
the necessities of the railroad required
would be made. The President desires 10
20 bach to Washington as quiet as possible
1t is believed the train will arrive there
Thursday morning, but the hour has not
peen HXeO, as the Transportation diidHSc-
msnts beyond Chicago have not been COM
pleted.
Mrs Mckinley showed no i'll effects from
her journey up TO the time Sacramento was
reached. and DR.. Rixey believes she will
be able to stand the trip to Washington
without stopping for rest along the route.

Only two toasts were drunk-"The King

posing Lord Miners health, said that the
latter's present vacation only a pre-
lude TO a more difficult but more congenial
task than he had yet faced. He had to
return Ito construct a new South Africa

two races, now unhappily opposed, whose
cooperation is absolutely necessary to
South Africa's future prosperity
Mr.. Chamberlain concluded with the pre-
d:ction that Lord Miner would lay a broad
foundation for a united commonwealth, ''as
free, prosperous and loyal as the sister
federations of Canada and Australia
Lord Milner, replying. deprecated the
demonstrations his Homecoming had pro-
duced. but said he realized That had he
quietly taken hanson from the Waterloo
station to his lodgings it would have been
heralded over two continents as evidence
of his disgrace. Therefore he bowed to
the necessity of a public commotion which
seemed necessary to prove to persons with
the ingrained habit of self-delusion that
the government would not give up its agent
in the face of the enemy and that the peo-
pie of the country would not be bored into
abandoning what they had spent millions in
blood and treasure to obtain. He said the
work in South Africa was proceeding now
at slightly quickened pace towards the
predestined end.
He had been sustained throughout all
the phases of the struggle by the certainty
that the governments course was the
only one that would secure lasting peace,
and the only alternative of absolute self
effacement in South Africa. "The time will
