In N Manchurlan village.

A typical scene in a Manchurian viii
lage is thus described by the corre-
spondent of a London paper: That
afternoon we pulled up near three
shanties on a woodside, and a gang OF
Chinese-all squabbling and making
noises like dogs growing over mes
fought with one another to get on a
platform, where a boiler, made by a
New York firm, was chained. There
was a scufie. One Chinese was pushed
backward and fell. His head hit the
metal and cracked like q nut. He
gave a wriggle and died. The Rus
slams who saw the accident were at
fected. The Chinese laughed. He lay
for an hour in the sun. until I undid
his sleeping rug and spread 1t over his
face. He was soon forgotten. A Chi
nese threw some hot water over a
growing dog and made 1t howl. At
this there were shrieks OF mirth. The
engine pulled and groaned and jerked
the ago into progress. The last l
saw of this spot was two Cinnamon
pitching mud at the same dog to Keep
1t from smiling at the body OF the
dead"

Accused Ills Father of Murder.

A sensation was sprung in the city
court room at Leavcnworth, Kan,
when George Stewart made a sworn
statement accusing his father, w. II.
Stewart, of having murdered in Octo-
Der 1896, Albert Cummings, an old
soldier, for whose murder, George MUIR
ply, alias Phillips, is now serving a
81 years sentence in the state penitent.
larry at Lansing.
The boy had just been convicted of
petty larceny. Immediately after
Judge Moore had sentenced him to 60
days in the county jail, young Stewart
announced that he wanted to make a
statement.
Stewart was arrested n few days ago
on a warrant sworn out by his father,
charging him with having stolen S.. so
from. In his statement in the court
room the DO said that it was the OBJ
ject of his father to have him in Jail
so that the old nan could get away
without letting the boy know any
thing about it.
Young Stewart was very deliberate
in making the statement that his faith
err had killed Cummings, and spoke
every word without n trcmor. The
elder Cummings sat in the court room
and turned deathly pale as he heard
the boy tell his story and left the room
shortly after the statement was made.
Young Stewart is 20 years old.

MINERS fNTOMDED
Mexicans and Cinnamon Meet
Death From Explosion.
NO HOPE OF FINDING ANY ONE ALIVE


The latest information from the Hon
do, Mexico, mine explosion shows it to
have been fully as serious rs at first
reported. There was a total Of one
hundred and six miners at work in the
mine when the explosion occurred and
all of them are dead. The majority Of
the victims are Mexicans and China
men, very few Americans having been
Mt work in the mine. The work of
clearing away the wreck in order to
get to the bodies is being rushed as
rapidly as possible, but there is no
hope that any of the men will be res
cued alive. Every mule in the mine
vas killed.
The explosion occurred in mine No.
g and was occasioned by striking a gas
pocket. The mine is the property of
the Coahila Company, Il. NJ. Mckenny
being superintendent. The names of
none of the victims have been learned,
Loss to the owners of the mine is very
heavy.

The vault in the Citizens bank al
Sedgwick was blown open by burglars
and $3.50 in currency taken. Later the
thieves went to the Santa Fe depot,
broke open a tool house and taking a
handcar escaped. A man living near
Wichita Heights was awakened by
hearing n handcar pass and going out

the work OF propcllingit was too hard,
as they abandoned it a short distance
from the town and il was found later
in the day.
The night Waterman ut Scdgwick
first discovered the robbery while on
his regular rounds. He found that a
rear window had been broken open.
The outer door of the vault had been
blown off by dynamite, but the steel
chest within was untouched. This is
n "a why it is thought the
thieves are amateurs, because an expe-
rienced craftsman would have had no
difficulty in opening it had he SO de-
sired.
The officers of the bank are very
thankful the steel chest was not opened
as it contained about slO,0 600 in cur.

ture, was before the ways and means
committee in connection with the Gu
ban reel procity question. His state
ment couered the scientific phases of
the production of sugar from bects,
cane, etc, and the development of the
respective industries. BY means of
chart he showed the comparative in
significance Of the beet sugar industry

made from ane Since then condi-
tions have reversed, until now the
greater part of sugar production is
from beets. Much the larger part of
this production was in Europe, the
product in America being comparative
ly small. DR.. Wiley expressed the
opinion, however, that the beet sugar
would never c%xtinguish the cane pro-
duct, as the latter had certain special
uses.
