TRAGEDY ON A TRAIN
lnoffensive Passenger Shot and Killed by
Four Men-All Now in JAIL

white men killed J. M. Rhea, an in
offensive passenger on train of the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley branch
of the Illinois Central Railroad, at
an early hour this morning near Le-
land, Miss, cut the locomotive from
the train and forced the engineer to
run to Cleveland, Miss. All four
men were arrested. One is in Jail
at Leland, and three are locked up
at Shelby.
The four men, who had been
drinking, boarded the northbound
train at Leland at 3 A. NJ, to return
to Shelby. Rhea, who is an engi-
neer, was on his way to Tutwiler to
take out locomotive there, and was
sleeping on a seat in the sleeper.
The four men came down the aisle
and the foremost one ran into Rhea's
legs, which were extended out into
the aisle. Rhea was awakened and
a quarrel ensued, during which one of
the four men told him that they
could not all stay in the same car
and that he would have to get out.
Rhea remarked that, in order to
prevent trouble he would have to do
as they told him. Thereupon he
started out of the car. He had lust
reached the door when the men
opend fire upon him and he fell

PROSPEROUS PORTO RICO.
Governor Hunts Message to the Legislature
Necessity for Change in Laws.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. 4.-Gov-
ernor Hunts message to the legisla-
iure of Porto Rico was delivered at
Il o'clock this morning before joint
session of that body held in the Thea
ter San Juan. The building was crowd
ed. The message says:
"Tranquility and contentment pre-
vail in Porto Rico; schools have multi.
piled; railroads are being constructed;
the commerce of the island has been
developed and exports have increased,
agriculture has become more profit
able, roads are being built and debts
are being paid. Tolerance of opin-
ion has become more common, former
antagonism being forgotten"
Governor Hunts report said further
that SS5 schools are open throughout
the island, 934 teachers are employed
in them, and $4,000 children attend
them. The insular revenues have in.
creased the available balance by $12S.-
900 over the balance of July, 1907,
and the total balance today including
tariff rebates, etc, amounts to ST.
100000 Governor Hunt recommends
the revision of the municipal laws and
the adoption of modern city charters.
Concerning the case of Santiago
Inglesias (the representative of the
American Federation of Labor, who
was sentenced here December II to
three years and four months imprs-
Onment on a charge of conspiracy
the Governor referred to the ambieu.
tiles of existing law, and said that the
remedy therefor is in the hands OF
the legislature.
There is no room for lawlessnes3
in Porto Rico" said Governor Hunt.
"but it is perfectly lawful to organize
to secure better wages by peaceable
measures. The ambition to better
ones condition is intensely American
and where the purpose of organiza-
ton is merely to increase the profits
of labor, or to dignity its worth

SAME OLD DOWAGER EMPRESS.
She Has Not Profitsd by Her Experiences Of
the Past Year.

Pekin, Jan. 4.-Several recent oc-
currences tend to discourage the hope
that the dowager empress has learned
lesson of reform from the events of
the past year. Foreigners are dis.
posed to take pessimistic view OF
the outlook. General Yung LUIS deter
mination to organize two anti-fOreign
army corps to offset the commands
of prO-foreign Chinese leaders is par
ticularly disquieting, and an evidence
of the continued domination of his in
lluence, which is bitterly ant-foreign.
Other incidents considered significant
are the suppression of the only indie
pendent newspaper in this city by OF
der of the governor of Pekin, and the
closing of the industrial school here
recently organized by philanthropic
Chinese. The school was intended for
the training of destitute youths. Other
liberal Chinese will hesitate now to
give practical vent to their theories,
fearing the diSpleasure of OtiicialdOm.
The edict regarding the recent muir
der of a Belgian priest near Ming Sha
Foo, in Kan 500 province, has ap-
peared. 1t appoints special official
to punish those guilty of the crime
and reaffirms the dowager empress
good will toward Christians. There Is
unusual activity upon the part OF the
court in the punishment OF those
guilty of an anti-Christian outrage,
and is taken as evidence OF the dow
ager empress desire to conciliate the
powers upon the eve of the return oil
the court to Pekin.
| Proofs accumulate that Prince
Ching's arguments persuaded the dow
ager empress to trust herself within
range of the legation forts. Officials
arriving here describe the dOwager
empress and General Yung Lu as be-
ing extremely nervous ana suspicious
lest the foreigners are planning to
entrap them after their arrival, and
punish them for encouraging Boxer
ism. The foreigners will probably re-
view the courts re-entry into PekiE
from the wall near the legations. The
Chinese officials have been sounded
by the ministers as to whether the. !
will enforce the old custom of restrain
ing foreigners from witnessing i'm
perial professions. The replies are
not encouraging. The treaty gives the
legations strip of wall commanding
a view of the gates of the imperial
city, and the members of the foreign
community are planning to assemble
thereon. 1t will be a great innOva-
ton.

San Francisco, Jan. A collision
at sea Thursday morning between the
steamship Walla Walla and an I'M
known sailing vessel resulted in the
sinking of the steamship and the
probable loss of at least twenty lives.
The Walla Walla. owned by the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Company. sailed
from San Francisco January ! for
Puget Sound ports. She carried thlr-
ty-six first-class passengers, twenty
eight second-class and crew or
eighty men. When off Cape Mendo
elmo, on the California coast, at 4:1O
Thursday morning, an iron bark, be-
lieved to be French. doomed up in
the haze and crashed into the Walla
Walla's bow. Then the sailing vessel
slid off into the darkness and was
seen no more All the passengers
and crew of the Walla Walla. except
the few on watch, were asleep, but
were reused by the crash. The steer
age quarters were in the bow. and If
is believed that some of the steerage
passengers and crew were crushed to
death.
A big hole was made in the steam
er's bow. and she sank in thirty-tive
minutes. The officers and crew main
tanned strict discipline, and boats and
life RATS were lowered. All who We're
not killed in the collision got off, eX-
cept Hall, who went down with his
ship He was picked up later by one
of the boats, uninjured, with the eX-
ception of a few bruises. There was
a choppy sea running, and the small
boats could not make a landing on the
shore a few miles distant. They drift
ed about all day, and finally sixty
five people were picked up by the
steamer Despatch which took them
to Eureka. Another boat under com
mand of Engineer Brown. containing
thirteen people. attempted to land at
Trinidad and was swamped and six
men were drowned.
| When the Despatch reached Eureka
with the survivors. the tugs We're i'm

boats. The tug Ranger picked up one
containing eleven passengers and

PROTOCOL WITH NICARAGUA
Some of the Terms of that Important
Instrument,

Washington, Jan. 6.-Some of the
main features of the protocol between
the United States and Nicaragua, re-
ferred to in President Zelaya's mes.
sage to congress- have been made
known in dispatches from Managua.
But there are many other important
features which have not been dis
closed. one of these being the COM
plete American jurisdiction and the
establishment of American courts,
civil and criminal throughout zone
six miles wide. extending from ocean
to ocean. and including the proposed
canal termini. Greytown. on the At
lantic. and Brto. on the Pacific. The
entire policing of this large tract also
is placed in the hands of the United
States. so that it has the power to
preserve order. and after that to issue
judicial process extending throughout
the zone.
Besides the authority of American
courts and of the American police in
the six-mile zone, the chief features
of the protocol are in giving a lease
in perpetuity of this tract to the Unit.
ed States. and at the same time Civ
ing an American guarantee that the
independence. sovereignty and integ-
rity of Nicaragua shall not be dis
turbed by the rights thus conferred
upon the United States. No exact
information is obtainable as to the
price specified in the protocol as pay
ment to Nicaragua for the grant to
this country. 1t can be stated posi-
lively. however, that this price is
much less than was expected when
the negotiations began, and that it is
considered by officials as satisfactory.
1t is understood that at the outset
the view in Nicaragua was that 500
100000 would be paid for the grant
to this country. and that $5.OO0,0O0
would be paid for Costa Rca's grant.
While there is no information as to
the final sum in the protocol it is
known to be far short of the above
figures. 1t takes the form of a per-
petual lease. and it is probable that
the protocol includes the feature of
an annual rent as part payment. 4
protocol with Costa Rica, identical in
form with that with Nicaragua. en-
cept in the matters of price and ter.
ritory leased, has been in course of
negotiation, and it is understood that
a satisfactory conclusion will be
reached with that government.
