Bishop Potter paints this re-
alistic picture in a paper in the
March Century, recording his
impressions of Japan:
"If l were asked to say, of all
that ! saw in Japan, what that is
that lives most wildly in my
memory, l should probably
shock my artistic reader by say
ing that it was the loading of a
steamship at Oagasaki with coal.
The huge vessel, the Empress of
japan, was one morning, soon af-
ter its arrival at Magasaki, sud-
denly festOened-I can use no
other word-from stem to stern

hanging platforms, the broadest

by ropes, and ascending from
the sampans, or huge boats i'll
which the coal had been brought
alongside the steamer, until the
highest and narrowest platform
was just below the particular
port-hol through which it was
received into the ship. There
we're, in each case all along the
sides of the ship, some four or
five of the platforms, one above
another, on each of which stood
q young girl. On board the
sampans men were busy filling
a long line of baskets holding, /
should think, each about two
buckets of coal. and these were
passed up from the sampans in a
continuous and unbroken line
until they reached their destina-
tion, each young girl, as she
stood on her particular platform,
passing or rather almost throw
ing, these huge basketsful of
coal to the girl above her, and SO
on to the end. The rapidity,
skill, and, above all, the rhyth-
mic precision with which, for
hours, this really tremendous
task was performed was an
achievement which might well
fill an American athlete with
envy and dismay. As | moved

PHGNM HOTEL DAMAGED BY FIRE.

Narrow Escapes

Lexington, Ky, March 2.--The
historic Phoenix Hotel here was
damaged by fire tonight and
scores of guests had narrow es-
capes. Lillian Vane, leading
lady in the Christian Company
playing here, was rescued, and
Mrs. Muller, wife Of a travelling
man, was taken out of her room
unconscious.
r. w. Cobb, of Auburn, Ind,
a travelling man, attempted TO es-
cape by making a rope of his bed
clothing, but the rope was too
short and he was found sus-
pended in the air after some
time. The hotel was burned in
1869, when the entire building
was lost. Nothing can be told as
to the extent of the damage. The
hotel cost 100000.

MADrsoNvnL, KY, March B.
Yesterday the officers at Provi-
dence, Webster county, arrested
W. M. Duncan, Jack Riggs, q.
T. Hicks and Martin Birdwell.
The men are all white and are
charged with an attempt to blow
up the boarding house of Baker
Gaines with dynamite at Provi-
dence on the night of February
Is. after which a great many
shots were fred into the building.
The inmates were mostly nom
union men, but no one was seri-
ously hurt.
1t was supposed that between
eight and ten men were engaged
in the attempted blowing up,
and some of the shots fired from
Winchesters penetrated the walls
of the house and lodged in the
bedsteads in one of the rooms.
The explosion demolished one
end of the house, destroying q
safe and throwing two women
from their beds onto the floor.
The men arrested we're taken
to Dixon and lodged in Jail. The
officers have warrants for two
more men for completely in the
blow-up, but have not yet been
able to apprehend them.
The operators claim that the
men arrested are union men anC
were former employees of the
Providence Coal Company. Last
November, when the strike wal

Some of the officers said that
Taylor took out pistol and
passed it behind him to Bill
Cook, who took it and shot at
Lindle. The first that Indie
saw of the revolver it was in Bill
Cooks hands.
Several of the witnesses for the
prosecution said that Taylor took
out a pistol and handed it to-
ward Lindle, but they cound not
say whether he was handing it to
Lindle or to Cook; that Cook
took the pistol out Of Taylor's
hand; that Indie drew and
fred the first shot after Taylor
took the pistol out and that he

that Cook grabbed Taylor's pis-
tol and fired at Indie.
Witnesses for prosecution said
Indie told Taylor he had a war
rant for his arrest; that Taylor
told him to show his warrant.
Two said Taylor took a revolver
out with one hand and a package
of papers in the other and hand
ing them toward Lindle, the pis-
tol butt foremost, said: "This
is all / have got." Others said
Taylor said nothing when he
handed out the pistol and that he
had no papers in his other hand.
All agreed that Bill Cook took
the pistol from Taylor's. hand.

tion's witnesses said Indie fred

ing before Judge Num- on mo-
tion for bail in the case of
indictments against j. B. Lindle,
Wade Mcintosh, Ed johnson,
(col. } Scott Penrod and johnson
Williams, the Judge said in SUBJ
stance, that upon the testimony
Of one side it was a clear case of
self defense; that taking only
the testimony of certain of the
witnesses for the prosecution, it
made a pretty strong case of
murder; that certain other wit
nesses for the prosecution gave
contrary evidence and did not
make so clear a case. He said
that the ''presumption of guilt
must be great and the evidence
con :lusive" to justify denial of
ba(l And he granted bail to all
tie defendants, fixing that of
Indie at $4,000; johnson, $3,-
600; Mcintosh, Williams and
Penrod at $1,000. The Judge
said that in the case of Williams
and Penrod the court did not
care what the amount of the bail
should be. Whatever the attor-
neys should agree upon would be
satisfactory to the court. That
no testimony had been offered to
show they had anything to do
with the shooting.
Commemorative ttorney,
Grayot, asked if the court meant
to release them without bond,
and another attorney for the
prosecution objected to a mere
nominal bond. The Judge said
he presumed Williams and Pen
rod could give bail for 1900 as
easily as for a lesser amount and
he would fix it at that amount.
The case was submitted to
Judge Num- without argument
and only one authority was sub
mitted to the court-upon the
point of conflicting testimony d
and by the prosecution.
The hearing consumed Friday
afternoon, a night session Friday
night and Saturday morning.
The Judge gave his decision just
before adjourning for dinner and
the bonds were Immediately sign
ed and put to record and the men
on trial released, who after din.
ner left Madisonville for home.

where deputies were stationed
with instructions to permit nc

searched. In some way it got
abroad that no revolvers would be
permitted in the court room
and most people were prepared
to be searched good naturedly,
One deputy told THE BEE mar
that perhaps twenty-five or more
men had backed down when they
found they could not pass un-
searched. 1t was said that with

threats of force and assassination,

Cured; that the men gathered
there and waited all the morning
for the arrival of Ben KissiDger,
Henry Taylor, Chapel (col. and
Nichols (col. }, who were regarded
as leaders. After arrival of the
train bringing Kissinger, Taylor
and others, the men went into a
house where they had been hold
ing meetings previously. II was
a secret meeting called for Box
town and the password was taken
by Bill Cook and man named
Woodruff, stationed at the two
doors Of the house. The purpose
Of the meeting was variously
stated, some saying it was called
to elect delegate to Indianapolis
and that Kissinger was to be
chosen; some that it was for the
purpose of a kind of rally with
speeches by the leaders and to get
new members into the union; yet
others did not know for what
purpose the meeting was called
and were only following their
leaders.
All agreed that deputy sheriffs
j. B. Indie and Lucien Bassett
with possemen Mcintosh, Penrod
and johnson, were at Boxtown
during a part of the morning and
until the meeting adjourned and
the marching column filed out
and down the road. All agreed
that the officers had said or done
nothing offensive but seemed to
sit around and await develop
ments.
One witness for the prosecu-
tion said that a man, who was
not an officer, had told him dur
ing the morning that marching
in a body was contrary to the
law and the sheriff's proclama-
tion and that he might avoid
trouble by not trying to move
Through the comfy in that way.
The same witness said that the
reason for marching from Box
| town where they were holding a
1 closed and undisturbed meeting,
was the presence on the outside
about Boxtown Of the officers.
| It was shown that there were
one hundred or more men at the
meeting and that these fled out
Of the lodge room in marching
order, usually three abreast, and
went upsthe road in the direction
of Carbondale and Crabtree
mines.
| Indie testified that he had in
| formation from mine operators
and others that there would be q
mass meeting at Boxtown that
day and that it was thought Q
demonstration would be made tC
intimidate and stop from work
the miners at Carbondale anC
Crabtree. This was why he anC
Bassett and the posse had gone
to Boxtown, to watch develop
ments and see that the sheriff
orders were carried out.
1t was. shown that the deputies
followed the marchers. Lindle
Bassett, Mcintosh and johnson
on horseback rode up to and b,
the party while Penrod anC
Williams came along on foo
at the rear of the crowd. Lindlt
read the sheriff's proclamation
and called ON the marchers to dis
perse in obedience thereto. Kiss
niger told Lindle to go on up t.
the head of the column and tall
to those in the lead. Indie an(
Bassett rode on up front, accom-
panied by Mcintosh and johnson
The two deputy sheriffs talked
the matter over and agreed tina
if the marchers refused to submit
to arrest they could do no more
as it would be folly to attempt t.

The~Train Starts.

The funeral train started on it's journey to the national capital at 8:34 the morning of the 10th. Only the engines and observation car were shrouded in black. The other were unadorned.
 Behind the drawn blinds were Mrs Mckinley, President Roos- welt, the cabinet and other high dignitaries of the government. The casket of the President, completely covered with a beauti- ful silk flag, lay on a raised bier in the observation car. Two sheaves of wheat were crossed above the breSt. A white dove with out-stretched wings seemed to be raising from the head of the casket. It was part of an exquisite floral piece, in which red and white buds pictured the American flag and the French colors, a tribute from a Franco American Society.
The St. Johns herald., 1901-09-28
At The Depot.

The hearse stopped in front of the big baggage entrance to the depot. As the undertaken took holt of the door of the hearse to open 1t and the body bearers pre- pared to draw the coffin out, a hush fell on the multitude. Then, from the column came the mournful sound of the long roll" " AS 1t ceased there arose, clear and sweet, the notes of the hymn. Nearer, My God, to Thee The soldiers raised the flag-cover- ed casket OH their shoulders and moved toward the train, as the band took up the air of the grand old hymn, 70, God, Our helper in Ages Past"
The St. Johns herald., 1901-09-28
Order of the Cars.

Behind the engines were the drawing room cars Raleigh and Belgrade, both devoted to mem bers of the press.
 Next came the dining car Wal dorf the car Naples, intended for senators, and the Hungary, for President Roosevelt and the cabi- net. Next to the rear car was the Olympia, occupied by Mrs. Mckinley, and last of all was the observation car Pacific, in which the body rested.
 The casket was placed in the observation car, where 1t could be seen by all the people as the train went by. Crepe was draped from the two locomotives and from the rear of the observa- tion car and the rai1ings of the care were shrouded in crepe. The only relief was in two tiny pilot flags of white on the lead ing locomotive.
The St. Johns herald., 1901-09-28
CaSket Placed In HearSe.

Away down the line of soldiery from the Sixth regiment band came the strains of Nearer, My God, to Thee" Behind the long ropes the throng uncovered, and with bowed heads. waited and watched in silence. Tenderly the precious burden was born slow ly down the stone steps, along the curve approach to the hearse' The flags-draped casket was lift ed gently into the hearse and the doors closed. Thru the window ot the hearse naught but Ameri- ca's flag, surmounted by a single sheaf of wheat, could be seen. Tn front came troops wheeling into line and meying down Frank lin street.
The St. Johns herald., 1901-09-28
Escort in readiness.

Exactly at the appointed hour, 7:45, the escort was i'll perfect readiness. In clarion tones, Mai. Mann, commanding the escort, delivered the order present arms" Noislessly the arms 1eap- ed to position; the commanding officer turned about, and facing the house of the dead, brought his sword to present"
 A minute of awe-inspiring silence, and then, emerging from the doors of the city hall there moved the eight body bearers, four soldiers and four sailors. On their shoulders rested the casket enclosing the body of the country's beloved one.
