was received with tremendous ap-

suppressed. The demonstration, how
ever, was one of the most remarkable
that has ever occurred in court of
justice.
Method of Chinese Settlement.
The manner in which China is to
pay the powers the 450,OO0,O00 taels
indemnity has been agreed upon by
the council at Pekin, and no further

Shot Six Men.
Michael Klely, of Leavenwortb,
Kansas, an insane man, ran amuck
on Wednesday at the Office of the
Robert Garrett Lumber company in
the business district, shot six people,
killing one, and probably fatally
wounding another and more or less
seriously wounding four others. He
was himself finally killed by officers
who tried TO overpower him. Kelley
had lived in Leavenworth for years
and at different times had engaged in
minor business enterprises. He was
eccentric and during the presidential
campaign IN 1896 lost his mind entirely.
At that time he threatened to kill
John Garrett, one Of his victims, on
Wednesday. He was arrested and
adjudged insane, Garrett and four
others testifying against him. After
year in the Topeka asylum Kelly |
was released. Tuesday night he |
drank heavily.
Big Strikes Now On.
Labor troubles continue to press. |
The steel workers of Pennsylvania |
and Ohio in the employ of the So
called trust are still out and most of |
the mills Of the three branches in |
volved are idle. Efforts to start some
OF them with union men have |
proven futile. Neither side shows
any sign of yielding, and there are in
dications Of ill-feeling that may result |
in violence. The trust will try to Sc
cure iniunctions to prevent the strik-
ers from interfering with others who
desire to work. The strike Of the coal
mining fremen has been broken by
the refusal Of the miners to support
them and they have returned to work.
There is a big strike of over 10000
garment workers in New York and
against thesweat shops. The
machinists' strike has generally re-
suited unfavorably to the men, who
have gone back at the old terms or
lost their places.
DR.. Koch on Tuberculosis.
The most striking feature of the
session of the British Congress on
is DR.. Robert Koch's
paper, which was listened to with the
deepest interest by big gathering in
st. James Hall. During his address
to the Congress DR.. Koch said his ex-
periments had satisfied him that hu-
man tuberculosis and bovine tuber-
oulosis were radically different
diseases, and that he had amply
demonstrated cattle could not be in
fected with human tuberculosis The
counter proposition that human beings
we're not liable to Infection from bo-
vine tuberculosis was harder to prove,
