GEN. SUMNER DELAYED
TRAILS IN MINDANAO MADE HEAVY
BY TRANSFORMS.

ros Not Yet Under Way-Philfp-
pine Volcanoes Active.

MANILA, Sept. 16.-The column of troops
commanded by Brigadier General Samuel 8.
Sumner, commander Of the Department Of
Mindanao has been delayed by transforms,
which have rendered the trails very heavy.
The general arrived at Camp vickars on
Saturday and brought with him a battal-
ion of infantry from Malabang. He now
has eleven companies of infantry, two
troops of cavalry and two batteries of ar
tillery at Camp Vickars. 1t is believed the
general will not move on Macin for few
days.
The Macin, Taal and Baluzan volcanoes
are unusually active. The Balusan volcano
has been inactive for years. The people re-
siding near the Macin volcano are alarmed
No seismic disturbances have resulted.
Six additional cases of cholera, including
one death from that disease, have developed
on board the United transport Sherman at
Nagasah, Japan, from this port. The suf-
has ordered the Sherman to continue In
quarantine for five days. Cholera is mild
in Manila and bad in the provinces. The
totals to date reported from the islands are
59,759 cases and 4,S04 deaths. These are
unofficial estimates.
Brewster Cameron has been selected to
represent the Philippine islands CONNER
cial interests at Washington, and will dur
ing the meeting of Congress seek to obtain
reduction in the Philippine tariff and that
the United States Commission be granted
authority TO deal with immigration to the
islands.

Coroner jackson, after performing an

MASSACRED BY CHINESE.


Details Of the Murder of Missionaries
Bruce and Lewis.
VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 16-Details were
received by the Empress of India on the
massacre of Messrs. Bruce and Lewis at
Chang-Te-Hunan. For weeks the cholera
has been depopulating the cities along the
Yuan river. In Chang-Te they died daily
by the score and from reliable reports the
same can be said Of the cities west Chan
Chou is built a hillside and in the CEN
ter of the city is famous spring from
which the people obtain much of their
water. This was supposed to have been
poisoned by the foreigners and hence the
death rate.
One afternoon Mr.. Lewis was studying
with his teacher and Mr.. Bruce was in his
room across the hall when, in an instant,
the house and street were crowded with
people. Mr.. Bruce was drawn by his hair
out of the room and into the yard, where,
with clubs stones, knives, swords and
torture they soon killed him. Mr.. Lewis
and his teacher went out at the back door
into the yard and started to climb upon
an old shed when a stroke from a spear
brought the former to the ground With
the same Instruments his body was soon
mangled beyond recognition. The eyes
were knocked out and the bodies of both
were otherwise mutilated. After that the
mob destroyed all the foreign articles and
all the articles they could not use. Trunks
and boxes were broken open, but not any
of the poison could be found. When the
crowd had almost disappeared the Chihfu
arrived and had the bodies moved into
their respective rooms. On the same
street and few doors away were sta
toned soldiers for their protection A
British warship was sent to the scene upon
the receipt of the news.

RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE
PRESIDENT WILL NOT CHANGE HIS
POSITION AS TO TRUSTS.
He Also VIII Maintain His Attitude
ON the Cuban Reciprocity Cues.
tion i'm western Speeches.

OYSTER BAY, Sept 16.-Senators Hanna,
Spooner, Allison, Aldrich and Lodge and
Postmaster General Payne spent several
hours with President Roosevelt to-day, and
discussed with him the entire political sit
uation, having special reference to the con-
ditions in the Western States which the
President is to visit on his approaching
trip. The parties to the conference were
very reticent after they returned from
Sycamore Hill, but it can be stated on re-
liable authority that it was decided to
make no attempt to revise the tariff at
the coming session of Congress; that the
President is to maintain his position as to
the trusts, and further that he is to insist
in his demand for reciprocity with Cuba.
1t is understood he will fully outline his
policy regarding this latter question in
some of the speeches he is to make on his
Western trip. 1t also can be stated on ex-
cellent authority that the coal strike was
not discussed.
The Presidents purpose in having this
conference was to ascertain II there had
been any marked political changes In the
different sections of the country during the
past year The conference to-day, it is
said. showed that there had been none.
1.-THE conference was entirely harmoni-
ous." said one of the gentlemen who par
ticipated in it, but who declined his name
to be published. mo differences of opinion
developed and the Presidents position on
the different questions discussed was in
dorsed. We talked over the entire political
situation, especially that in the States
through which the President is to pass.
The coal strike was not talked about"
The senatorial delegation arrived here
at 1920 p. m, coming from Long Island
City in the private car of President Bald
win of the Long Island Railroad. The
senators refused TO see number Of news
paper men who were on the train. On their
arrival here they were driven at once to
Sycamore Hill in President Roosevelt s
traps. They left in the private car at 1910
ID. m. for Lond Island City.
Postmaster General Payne came over
earlier in the day from Center Island. He
left at 6:35 p. m. for New York.
The Associated Press bulletin from Du-
buque, Ia, announcing that Speaker Hen
derson had declined to be a candidate for
reelection to Congress was the first in
timation of that fact that any of the Presi-
dents senatorial callers had received. They
had nothing to say on the subject.

SURPRISE IN WASHINGTON.
How the News Was Recefved-Hemen.
way or Cannon for Speaker.

How the news was ACCOMPLISHMENTS
way or Cannon for Speaker.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16-The withdraw
al of Speaker Henderson will have an i'm
portant effect on the political future of one
Indiana congressman. 1t Is accepted in
Washington tonight as probable that If
Representative Hemenway is not elected
speaker to succeed Mr.. Henderson Joseph
G. Cannon will be. Tonight Mr.. Cannon is
the favorite. 1t is reported here that
Hemenway would favor him. On account
of their relationship this would only be
natural If Cannon should succeed to the
speakership it would make Hemenway the
chairman of the committee on appropria-
tions, which is the most important place
in the House organization. except when
there is tariff legislation, when the chair
manship of the ways and means is premier.
The First district congressman has the
confidence of the Republicans of the House.
and If his friends should decide TO push
him for the speakership he would have a
respectable If not a winning following.
The withdrawal of Speaker Henderson
from the congressional race came as a
stunning blow to Washington. 1t is the
years. Its possibility had never been dis
cussed by the busy political gossipers who
tackle almost everything which is possible
or impossible. The first conclusion was
that IL n political trick, and that a
second Republican convention would refuse
to accept the resignation. This conjecture
did not seem TO fit very we'll after the let
ter had been read
The Iowa politicians in Washington are
rather disposed TO regard the withdrawal
as an acknowledgment on the part of Mr..
Henderson of the ascendency of the Cum
mings faction, which is opposed to him.
The State division might result in his de-
feat for the speakership, and without that
In Congress he might prefer to retire The
Iowa men here do not think the speaker
could have felt any real misgivings over
the result of his contest with Horace
Boies. his venerable opponent. Nothing has
set Washington TO buzzng in long time
like this announcement.

Wreck saloon.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 16.-There has
been more rioting the outskirts of the
Preside reservation. A band of soldiers
gathered opposite saloon and began
throwing stones in the direction of the
place, and the police were summoned. The
soldiers then assailed the police with sticks
and stones. Some shots were fired by the
soldiers. who then rushed across the street
and proceeded to wreck the saloon. They
set fire to IL, but the flames were extin-
guished by the fire department. The soldiers
then directed their attention to another
saloon and partly demolished IL. while other
houses in the vicinity were more or less
damaged. The rioters were finally quelled.
and a patrol forced them to retreat to the
reservation. So far can be learned no
one was seriously hurt, and only one slight
ly injured.
Another riot occurred to-day. Five hun

saloon in charge of his wife and proceeded
to the Preside to get aid. During his
absence the soldiers broke in the front
doors and the mob proceeded to drink up
Rehfield's stock and to make way with
cigars and tobacco A squad of soldiers
from the reservation appeared on the
scene and the riotous soldiers were or
