RECALL OF WI
Manchu Censor Accuses Chi nese Min
ster to America Of Corruption.

WASHINGTON, March ia
prominent Manchu censor has
memoralized the throne for the
removal of WI Ting Fang, the
Chinese minister to the United
States. The censor asserts that
WI Ting Fang corruptly retained
'ostensibly for repairs to the Chi
nese legation in Washington,
$50, 900 OF the Tien-Tsin silver
refunded by the American gov
ernment.
Mr.. WI said today that he
promptly informed his govern
ment as soon as the United States
turned over to him the Tien- Tsin
silver fund and the money was
placed at its disposal. An ac-
acknowledgement was received by
telegraph. Not one cent of the
fund, Mr.. WI said, could be mis-
appropriated and if any portion
of it were to be used for any pur-
pose whatever this could be done
only by the sanction of the Chi
nese government.
The minister has not heard
officially of the presentation of
the memorial for his removal, but
he treats the matter very lightly.
There is, he says, no foundation
for the statement that he retained
$4,000 of the fund for repairs to
the legation IN Washington. He
thinks the presentation of the
memorial to have been the work
of some person acting under a
misapprehension or on some
misinformation.

PLYMOUTH, INDIANA 49,

grapple with the problem pre-
sented and fight it out for All
time.
The discharge of the sevenmen
last Friday was followed by the
calling outof $50 freight handlers
employed by the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad
At the same time 440 handlers
employed by the Boston and Al
bany Road quit work, partly out
of sympathy and partly because
of slight grievances of their own.
Monday $500 teamsters struck
in support of the freight handlers
which action has been bk6wed
by strikes of freight handlers on
the Boston and Maine system,
longshoremen employed in load
ing steamships and other allied
bodies, until the total number of
men out is now about u, 600. The
places of the striking freight
handlers have been filled by Ital-
ians, but there is little for them
to do, for merchants find it i'm
possible to get their merchandise
hauled to the railroads and steam
ships.
The worst is undoubtedly yet
to come, for the labor men say
they will order a general sympa-
thetic strike, which would swell
the number of men out to from
80. 900 to $4,000. The order for
this general strike may be pro
mulgated today. The result
would be to bring all sorts of bus
mess to a standstill.
Mayor Collins, who has worked
early and late to bring about a
settlement, yesterday appealed
to Senator Hanna by wire to
have the Civic Federation take up
the matter.

VETERANS AGAINST EVANS
He Has Made the Pension Road Hard

WASHINGTON, March 12-It is
only a question Of time when
President Roosevelt will have to
say whether H. Clay Evans. Com
missioner of Pensions, shall stay
IN Office. The fight against the
commissioner, which was waged
with SO much vigor during Pres
ident McKinley's first term, has
been renewed by veterans who
feel that the securing of a pen
sion is too difficult.
G. AR. posts all over the coun-
try are Systematically adopting
resolutions asking for an investi-
cation of the Pension Bureau.
Most of these resolutions are be-
ing forwarded to senators and
representatives, but some of them
are being sent direct to the Pres
ident.
President Mckinley considered
complaints against Mr.. Evans
with great care, and decided that
the commissioner was only doing
his duty. No one attempts. al
this time, to fOretell what Presi
dent Roosevelt will do.
The national encampment G.
A. r. will meet here next fall,
and there will be favorable op
portunity for veterans to push
their fight against the commits

TRAIN ROBBERY BILL

Amended to Inflict the Severest Penalty.
WASHINGTON, March 12-The
House committee on judiciary
has directed favorable report
on the bill designed to put an
end to the business of train rob-
berry.
The measure has been amend
ed so as to inflict the death pen
atty upon those who hold up or
wreck a train in the event that
any person is killed. The amend:
ed clause says:
'Any person who obstructs,
derails or commits an assault up
on any railroad train or its pas
sengers with intent to commit
robbery, murder or other crime,
shall be punished with death if
the death OF any person on the
train is effected"
The bill was also amended so
as to make more severe the SIM
pie robbery or attempted robbery
of train whereby no one is IN
jured. This clause makes the
penalty Imprisonment at hard Ia
Dor from five to ten years. 1t is
thought the bill will become law
and put an effectual damper op-
on the recently growing practice
of holding up trains.

LONDON, March 11-General
Methuen IS a prisoner in the
hands of the Beers. His force
of l, 200 men was routed by Gen.
eral Delarey last Friday near
Litchtenburg. and his four guns
were captured.
General MethuerI was himself
wounded in the thigh. Three
British officers and thirty eight
men were killed. Five British
officers and seventytwo men
were wounded. One British Of
ficer and 200 men are said to be
missing. though there is doubt
on this. All the British baggage
was captured.
The disaster was announced ia
the house of lords Monday by
Lord Roberts and in the house of
commons by the war secretary,
Mr.. Brodrick, who read the de-
tails in two kilograms from Lord
Kitchener.
The irish members of the COM
mons greeted the news with loud
cheers. They started a jubila-
ton on the spot, till cries of
Shame. Shame" from the gov
ernment benches made them
think better of their outbreak.
Then there was sudden silence.
The service members Of the
house. retired army officers. re-
gard the news as exceedingly Sc
rious, and generally express the
opinion that it will now be nee
essary to send large re-enforce-
ments to South Africa. They
think that Lord Methuen will be
held as hostage for the safety
of Commandant kritzinger and
other Boer leaders who are Brit
ish prisoners.
The scene of the fight in which
Methuen was captured is in the
southwestern part of the Trans
vaal, in the vicinity of Mafeking.
Methuen had started from Wyn-
burg in the Orange Free State,
and had nearly completed his
100 mile march to Lichtenburg
when he was attacked. The as
sault was a complete surprise
and came just before dawn, i'm.
mediately after the British had
broken camp.
The Eoers seem to have had
everything their own way from
the beginning of their attack.
They stampeded the mule trains
and the mounted British soldiers,
and found only handful of men
under Major Paris, who made a
stand against them Apparently
they captured large number OF
British. but Kitchener's second
dispatch indicates that they al
lowed them all to go with the ex-
ception of General Methuen.
