CANTON BOY
Gets Lieutenancy In the v. s.
Army--DannemilIer's Visit
to Mckinley.

Washington, March 2O.--Among the
new lieutenants to be appointed in the
enlarged army is Frederick Dannemil-
Ter, Of Canton, Ohio, who served as a
private in the Eighth Ohio during the
Spanish war and was a chum of Presi-
dent McKinley's two nephews, who
also belonged to that regiment. Young
Dannemiller was detailed as orderly at
headquarters while the regimen. was at
Camp Alger and one afternoon, while
Col. Dick was sitting in front of his
tent with a party of friends, his or
derly approached, saluted him respect
fully and asked permission to go to
as the guest Of the president Of the
United States.
1t is probable that this is the only
time In history that a private soldier
asked to be excused from duty in order
that he might dine with his com
mander-in-chief and the ruler of his
nation, but before leaving camp he ask
ed Col. Dick to please let him have the
latter's boots because he wouldn't be
back in time to clean them in the
morning.

London, March 2O.-A 'sensationa,
dispatch has been received on the stock
exchange which says that the Russians
have fired on the British at Tien Tsin
While this is not official and is there
fore discredited, 1t is believed that Sc
rious trouble between British and Rus
slams cannot long be avoided. The
British have removed the East Indian
troops guarding the railway siding and
have put in seasoned Anglo-Saxon
veterans.
HAD ORDERS TO FIRE.
Tien Tsin, March 20-The excitement
and anxiety here as to the possible de-
velopments of the Anglo-Russian sid
ing dispute do not abate. A company of
British troops and company of Rus
sian soldiers remain encamped on either
side of the trench, looking at each
other. The Russians have orders to
fire on anyone commencing work. Cen
eral Wogack says the trouble was caus-
ed by the unwarrantable interference
of the British in the affairs of the Rus
sian concession, and he adds that the
siding will not be continued unless he
receives orders from his own superiors.
RUSSIA WILL NOT BACK DOWN.
Paris, March 20.-"Russia will not re-
cede from the position it has taken in
the matter of the railroad siding at
Tien Tsin; of that you can be assured"
This statement was made by high Off
cial of the foreign Office. Continuing,
this official said: Russia will not ad-
vance and will act slowly; but, having
taken up the position it now occupies,
it will not be removed therefrom by
force. England has been unsuccessful
in its efforts to secure the aid of other
powers to attack Russia's position re-

FRENCH TROOPS TAKING PART.
Tien Tsin, March 20.-The Russian
general, Wogack, has declined COM

and conflict may be expected at any
moment. The troops of all nations are
under arms.
The situation at the railway station
remains the same, although the tenn

more disquieting than before.
French troops are taking part in the
trouble, despite the efforts of their
ofhcers to maintain neutral attitude.

gas pressure in the we'll that supplies
the town had fallen so low that people
who are depending upon it for light and

Oil stoves were hunted up and lamps

the old primitive methods were resorted
to in the emergency.
Just what led to the shutting off of
the supply has not been determined
1t may have been an accumulation of
water or other obstruction in the we'll,
or the source of the supply may not
be a permanent one. 1t has been re-
ported that the gas supply all over the
country has been failing perceptibly,
and that even the large companies have
decided not to sell any more gas to
the large manufacturing concerns.
The Alliance supply came from the

tentiary Hold Guards a.
Hostages.

Leavenworth, Kan, March 20.-In
the Kansas state penitentiary coal
mine at Lansing 2S4 prisoners who
went down into the mine mutinied
and were holding Is guards as hos
tages. They refused to let the guards
come to the surface until Warden
Tomlinson promised to give them
better food. They threatened to kill
the guards If their demands were not
complied with. The mines are work
ed by the worst class of convicts.
and among those who have mutiniei
are 20 life prisoners.
Warden Tomlinson refused to grant
the demands.
The miners threatened to wreck
the mines, but the threat was laughed
ut by Warden Tomlinson. who said
they would not attempt this, as such
action would endanger their lives. He
said he would starve them out.
A communication was received
from one Of the guards, STANG they
were hungry and tired. but SO far as
he could learn all were alive.
The first outbreak in the mine took
place shortly after the noon meal
Monday, and was started by the con-
victs in division No. s. OF the 10
men in this division 16 seized the
guard and overpowered him and an
nounced that they had decided
to mine two instead of three
cars of coal as a days work
in the future, and that they proposed
to have better food. This guard was
left In charge of two Of the convicts
in the mutiny. while the others
marched to the adjoining division and
called on the convicts there to join
the revolt. The convicts were soon
marching through the mine from one
division to another, yelling and
swinging their lamps and picks.
Other desperate convicts entered into
the spirit, while short term men gem
orally offered no opposition to the
mutineers, and quietly Joined them.
Most officers had no firearms with
them.
Later the warden and some guards
went down armed and terrorized the
convicts into surrendering.

to hold negotiations with any other
