Advices received at the prison in

for the Indian Territory, hundred
miles south, at breakneck speed. War.
den McLaughrey is making every ef-
fort to head them off before they reach
the Kansas river. He started tele-
graphing shortly after their escape
to get sheriffs and other officers to
guard the bridges. Answering tele-
grams received from the neighborhood
of Linwood, Kan, and several other
points say farmers, well armed, are
watching the bridges. The reports
show that the convicts are securing
farmers horses and running them at a
high speed until the animals give out
and then pressing in fresh ones when
ever found. By making these relays
they are trying to outride the officers
to the Territory. Nothing but guards
and civil officers, out for the 5000
rewards, are now in the chase. The
soldiers are kept to watch over the
reservation. No prisoners have been
sent to work at the new penitentiarv
where all work is suspended and the
convicts held in cells so the guards
can take up the hunt. Warden Nc.
Laughrey, with a force of TRUSTEES,
is running off pictures of the convicts
at large. Two hundred, sets will be
mailed at once to different sheriffs and
police.

! CAUSE OF EARL LIS DEATH.
Former Physician Declares 1t Was
Lack of Exercise.


New York, Nov 9.-One of the most
Intimate friends of Lii Hung Chang in
this country is DR.. Louis L. Seaman of
this city. DR.. Seaman, who was for
merly surgeon in the United States
army, serving in Porto Rico and the
Philippine islands, spent considerable
time in China. So close did the army
surgeon approach the distinguished
Chinaman, owing to a friendship be-
tween the doctors father and Earl Ii,
that at one time he was invited to ac-
cept of the hospitality of the viceroy's
palace "for year." Speaking of the
earls last illness DR.. Seaman said:
When I said goodby to Earl Ii last
March did not expect that he was so
soon to leave his people. He was very
old and had been a sufferer from
stomach trouble, dyspepsia and indi-
gestion all his life. This was princi-
pal1y because he took little or no ex-
ercise. In China it is against the dig
nifty of man to be seen walking and
about all the walking Ii did was to
and from his sedan chair. | tried to
convince him that for the sake of his
health he must take walks or other ex-
ercise but in this respect he could not
be reformed.
''In stature Ii Hung Chang was a
'veritable giant. His physique was
splendid, all except his legs, which
were undeveloped and thin for want
of exercise. They had become
atrophied from lack of use."

HILL WILL HAVE CONTROL.
Result of the Conference Of Railway
Magnates.

Magnates.
New York, Nov. 9.-The Evening
Post says:
1t is said that so much progress has
been made in the details of the settle
ment of the Northern Pacific and
Burlington situation that it will not
be necessary to hold many more joint
conferences. It is believed at the
Union Pacific railway directors meet
ing, held in this city this week, the
whole plan, as it affects the company's s
interests, will be laid before the meet
ing, although it could not be learned
whether any official statement will be
made.
A large number of the reorganized
board of directors of the Burlington
railway, probably a half, will, it is I'M
derstood, represent the Union Pacific
railway directly, and that company
will, in any event, have a half voting
interest in Burlington railway affairs.
There will, of course, be no extension
to Salt Lake City to meet Senator
Clark's road or to any other point not
fully countenanced by the Union Pa
cific Representatives in the Burlington
board. It is believed further that the
agreement includes the transfer of all
the Northern Pacific sharehofdings of
the Union Pacific interests to the new
company to be organized by President
j. ]. Hill of the Great Northern and
which will hold the control of that
company and the Northern Pacific.
Mr.. Hill will be nominating influence
in this new corporation, and thus of
the two Northwestern railways.

RUSSIAN ovERTUREs TO JAPAN.
One to Have a Free Hand in Manchu.
ria and the Other in Korea.

New York, Nov. 9-The Toxic cor
respondent Of The Times says the
leading Japanese journals have been
earnestly discussing the overtures in
Russian newspapers looking toward a
Russian alliance with Japan. The pro-
posed basis of the arrangement is that
the Toxic government refrain from all
measures impeding Russia in Man
churia. Russia, in return, would pledge
herself to leave free hand to Japan
in Korea, but Russia should be allowed
to appropriate a convenient naval sta
ton in Southern Korea.
None of the Japanese journals ap-
prove the idea, the papers objecting
that two powers cannot divide suprem-
acy in the Far East. They also inter-
pret the proposal as pointing to the
permanent absorption of Manchuria
by Russia.
The Times correspondent says ia
pan wants Korea to remain Korean,
but also wants the world to recognize
that Japan's interests there are too
vital to allow her to remain an in
active, spectator of Korea's absorption
by another power.

INTO CONSULTING QUARTERS.
schIey Court of Inquiry Transferring
Its Effects

Washington, Nov. 9.-The Schlev
court of inquiry is transferring it's eff
fects from the gunners' workshop in
the navyyard to the uptown quarters
in the Mcmillan building, which will
be the consulting quarters. No efforts
will be made by the members of the
court to confer upon the case until
next Mondey as they are in need Of
mental and physical rest. The court
will ask the navy department to pro-
vide it with clerical assistance and
stenographer to do mechanical work
in preparing it's report In order that
the court may absolutely control such
assistants, it is probable recourse may
be had to men in the naval service,
such as yeomen who are subject to
naval discipline.
Judge Lemly, judge advocate of the
court, has gone to Kansas City to at
tend the meeting of the National Pris-
ON association, in which he is interest
ed by reason of the fact that he -

the naval prisons at Boston, Norfolk

TELEGRAPHIc MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Nov. 9.-Wheat opened
a fraction below yesterdays close, and
heavy selling of long wheat by those
who wished to even up over Sunday
sent it down 11hac. Later in the session
seaboard points reported a general in
quiry in foreign cables, and heavy
buying by prominent dealers sent the
market UP to top figures of the day.
There is unmistakable strength in the
wheat situation. and as we have ad-
vised before, it is purchase on all
soft spots. ,,'
Y Corn was weak on the opening and
in early part of session, but showed
strength later and closed at a small
advance. The stock of corn is small,
receipts are light, the cash demand
strong and active, and while there may
be q reaction from present price, for a
long pull we would say buy May corn.
Oats were reactionary early owing to
weakness in wheat and corn but Pat
ten sold none and he probably even
added to his holdings. He is in full
control Of the situation, and 1T is more
than likely that May oats go to SOC OF
higher. s
Provisions dull and featnreless.

cline in the volume of the nations
commerce, says The Tribune's Lon
don representative There is drop
of G750,000 in exports as compared
with October, 1900. while 10 months
of the year give diminution of nearly
91O,O00000. The fall in the last
month was due mainly to the diminish
ed value of the coal exported. In
metals, machinery and new ships there
is a considerable decrease, which is
balanced by a great increase Of tex.
tiles exported. Imports show a mark
ed reduction of no less than G1 ,0oa
600. The general impression produced
by the figures is that trade is distinct
