MOVEMENTS OF STEAMSHIPS,
BOXER INDEMNITY IS
A CAUSE OF TROUBLE
The Chinese Object to Paying 1t, and
a Serious Uprising Has Taken
Place.

BOSTON, Mass, July 20.-As a re-
suit of the attempt of the government
to collect a tax with which to pay the
Boxer indemnity, according to a re-
port to the Missionary Herald by Rev.
F. M. Chaplin, of the American Board
of North China Missions, an uprising
has taken place to the west of Lin
Chin. Rev. Mr.. Chaplin says that thou
sands of troops have been sent to sup
press the uprising, but at last accounts
they had not succeeded. Referring to
the affair, Mr.. Chaplin says:
'Near us, in Hsia Chin country. we
have our village where Christian fami-
lies cannot return to their homes, the
Boxers still carrying their arms and
refusing to allow said Christians to sell
their land as they would gladly do.
To the southwest of Lin Chin is quite a
district, where the traveller may feel
certain that he is to be robbed, wheth-
er he has much or little. In that re-
gion kidnapping of both old and young
is regular business. The government
two years ago, by relaxing all law and
order, has disintegrated society,"

GERMANS OBJECT TO
ADVANCES IN TARIFF
Governments New Schedule Will En-
counter Strenuous Opposition in
the Reichstag.

BERLIN, July 22-During the last
slttlngs of the customs tariff commit
tee of the reichstag, numerous in
creases upon the schedule proposed by
the government were adopted, despite
the vigorous opposition of the Prussian
representatives. Furniture, wood pulp,
paving stones, brick and cellulose, all
had the tariff raised. Count Won Posa-
doWsky- Wehner, imperial secretary of
state for the interior, protesting, said:
Through such increased duties our
commercial armor may become too
heavy for us to fight in it successfully.
The tariff bill, framed after long dis
cussion in the federal council, already
constitutes a compromise which should
not be imperiled in order to crafty
private wishes and local interests"
The Lokal Anzeiger quotes Count
Won Posadowsky-W -Wehner as telling the
tariff committee: Il can say to YOU.
gentlemen, that my belief is our tariff
bill will never pass"
Count Posadowsky made use of the
above expression as a climax to- his
speech against the proposed increases
in the tariff. His declaration has made
tremendous sensation in political
circles, and the ministry, probably
through a desire to modify the naked
statement of Count Posadowsky, pub
fishes weaker statement of his words.

MAY YOHE RELENTING
TOWARD CAPT. STRONG
The Charge of Grand Larceny Against
Her Missing Cavalier Is
Withdrawn.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The charge
Of grand larceny that was formally
made at police headquarters yesterday
by May Yohe against former Capt.
Bradlee Strong, who has mysteriousIy
disappeared, has been withdrawn. May
Yohe's- lawyer notified the police this
evening that his client wished to for
mally withdraw all charges against
the missing captain and that the re-
ward of $1,000 offered for information
as to his whereabouts was also Wfth-
drawn. The lawyer would only say
that the charges were withdrawn for
the sake of Strong's family.
Miss Yohe's counsel said that the
safe In the Knickerbocker Safe Deposit
company, where Miss Yohe had kept
her jewels, was opened yesterday and
1T was found that l4er Jewels, valued
at s250,000, had been removed, nothing
of value being left in the safe except
few trifing trinkets
He also explained that pawn tickets
calling for $780, 600 worth of the miss
ing gems had been recovered.
Capt. Titus said that Miss Yohe had
come to New York today from Hast
ings, on the Hudson, and, with several
detectives, was making a tour of the
pawnshops for the purpose of Identify
ing if possible some of the jewels sup
posed to have been pawned by Strong.

UNITED ORDER OF KISS
SUMMERS IS NO MORE
Society Formed at Evanston to Break
Up Time Honored Practice Gives
Up Its Crusade.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, July 22.-Kissing can't
be stopped Even it's regulation is i'm
possible. The more one tries to dis
courage the time-honored custom the
more popular it's indulgence becomes.
These are the conclusions which
dozen young men and women, all res
idents of classic Evanston, reached.
Their unanimity became public today
when the announcement was made that
the United Order of Kiss Summers
was no more.
The trouble with the organization
was that it belied its name. There was
nothing suggestive of union about it.
A schism among the faithful started
at the outset when one of the chief
officials was detected in the act of kiss
ing fair recruit From that time it
may be said that the society had pre-
carious existence.
The Kiss Summers started out with
heroic task before them. They were
chiefly from among the students Of the
Northwestern university who aspired
to achieve great things during the
summer vacation months. Vacation
was at hand and the co-eds didn't
know what to do to keep their minds
off their studies, so they proposed the
kiss stunning crusade to their admir-
ers and the united order came into
being.
They were bent on securing the pas
sage of an anti-kissing ordinance in
the Evanston city council before the
resumption of classes.

PUT IN 500 MILES OF ROCK
BALLAST ~
STANDARD OIL PEOPLE
SAID TO FAVOR SCHEME
Branches May Also BE Built TO Round
Out the System-Money Will All Be
Taken From the Earnings-May
Issue New Stock at Par.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, July 22.-The following
statement is attributed to Wall street
man close to Standard Oil interests:
st. Paul is the Standard Oil road and
the policy of management is dictated
by William Rockefeller and Henry H.
Rogers. The management is consider
ing the rock ballasting of 500 miles of
its road this year and rounding up the
system by building 100 miles of branch
roads, all out of earnings. I believe
the stock will sell at $500 per share
this fall and that stockholders will re-
ceive plum which will make this
price possible. The Rock Island has
set the pace for liberaility with stock
holders and the st. Paul and some of
the other granger roads may have to
meet the demands of the largest stock
holders for greater benefit from the
large earnings. st. Paul will, believe,
issue new stock to it's stockholders
this year at par, as did Rock Island,
or else it will be placed upon a Z per
cent basis. The Union Pacific is an
other strong system, and a favorite
with the Standard Oil following. The
Union Pacific is spending millions in
reducing grades, and it will be in a po-
sition to haul freight as cheap as the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific.

Il ROME, July 22.-Tonight the candi-
dates for the post made vacant by the
death of Cardinal Ledochowski are
equal in number to the hours which
have elapsed since the cardinals de-
cease. In addition to Cardinal Vannu-
tell, Cardinal Francis sSatolli, formerly
apostolic delegate to the United States,

date for the prefecture of the congre-
cation Of the propaganda. He is re-
puted to be a special prptege of the
pontiff, whose power of appointing is
absolute. 1t is pointed out that Car
dinal Satolli's thorough knowledge of
American affairs peculiarly fits him
for the prefecture, the United States
being the most important country with
which the propaganda has to deal.

PROMINENT CHICAGOAN

CHICAGO, July 22.-Arthur j. Cation,
president of the Chicago club and
prominently identified with all the
movements of Chicago society, was Sc
verely injured tonight IN a collision
between an Indiana electric car and a
carriage in which. he was riding.
He was dragged fifty feet in the
wreckage of the cab, and his coach
man was so seriously hurt that 1t was
necessary to remove him to Mercy
hospital.
The accident occurred while Mr.. Ca
ton was on his way home from the
Chicago club.
The car struck the Carriage squarely
in the middle. The wheels Of the We

rig was pushed and dragged along the
track. Before Mr.. Cation could extri-

KEOKUK, Iowa, July 22.-The CEN
ter of the Mississippi flood is now at
Quincy, and by morning will be still
farther south. The river reached the
maximum at Quincy at noon today,
and has been stationary since. The
lime kiln levee, extending north from
Mayor, H., twenty miles north of
Quincy, developed danger today, and
large force of men were employed to
watch it. That and the Hunt levee
have stood the strains of the floods
hitherto. The Mississippi river fell
nine inches here during the last twen-
ty-four hours. The population of the
village of st. Francisville, Mo-, has
been nearly doubled by refugees from
the flood district, who lost absolutely
everything.
Tonight a trestle $50 feet long, one
mile north of Alexandria, on the st.
Louis, Keokuk & Northwestern rail-
way, was washed out, blocking traffic
on that road and the Keokuk & West
ern, which uses the track there. The
north-bound Twin City Express, from
St. Louis to st. Paul, passed the place
half an hour previous. A large force
is at work repairing the break, which
is in the midst of the strongest cur
rent of the river torrent, and is ex-
tremely difficult to handle.
Illinois River Is Rampant.
PEORIA, Ill, July 22-The Illinois
river reached the height of twenty one
feet above low-water mark on the gov
ernment gauge last night. At 10
o'clock this morning the dikes near
Pel1in, on which are the tracks of the
Peoria & Pekin Terminal railway, gave
way. Over 1000 feet of track is gone,
and the water is pouring through the
creVasses, flooding hundreds of acres
of grain, which previous to the break
was not much damaged.
Dixie Gives Way.
The dixie protecting the La Marsh
drainage district, across Pekin, gave
way today, and caused damage thai
cannot be estimated at this time. Two
square miles of farm lands are COW

1000 feet of the tracks of the Peoria

drop OF two inches in the stage of the

Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, July 22.-When Frank l..
Miller was placed on trial for murder
today in Judge Smiths court 1t was
so evident that he was the victim Of
some strange mania that the court
took the case under advisement, al
though Miller pleaded guilty to man
slaughter.
Miller Is a. pyromanfac.y Impelled by
power that he has no capacity to
resist, he has set fire to building after
building.
The last structure he burned was a
barn, and in the conflagration a ne
gro, Harvey Brooks. was burned to
death. The fire occurred May IS.
During the three weeks preceding
that date Miller had set fire to thirteen
houses or barns.
II am satisfied that this defendant
is not morally responsible for what he
has DONE" said Judge Smith.

COURT-MARTIAL VERDICT
SENT TO PRESIDENT
Verdict in Gases of Mai. Glenn and
Lieuts. GauiOt and Cook to Be
Reviewed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 22.-Sec-
retary Root today sent to the president
at Oyster Bay the proceedings and
findings in the court-martial cases of
Maj. Edwin F. Glenn, Fifth infantry:
Lieut.. Julien Gaujot, Tenth cavalry.
and Lieut.. Norman E. Cook, of the
Philippines scouts.
Glenn was found guilty of admins
tering the water cure to natives or
permitting it to be done, and was SEN
fenced to one months suspension from
, duty and fined $50. Lieut. Cook was ac-
quilted on charge of giving orders to
Kill three Filipino prisoners. The tes-
dmony showed that he had given or
ders to shoot the prisoners if they at
tempted to escape. The Filipino scouts
to whom this order was given thought
1t meant to shoot the prisoners.
In forwarding the cases to the presi-
dent the secretary recommends that
the sentences and findings be approv-
ed, but that no other action shall be
taken. 1t is not believed that the presi-
dent, who is reviewing authority in
these cases, will make any comments
such as were delivered by him in the
case of Gen. Smith. 1t is shown in
the evidence and reports that Mai.
Glenn has performed excellent serv-
ices and has done much to pacify the
country in which he has been in COM
mand.

SIXTY THOUSAND MEN ENGAGED
IN LOADING AND OPERATING
VESSELS MAY STRIKE.
PLACED IN THE HANDS
OF PRESIDENT KEEFE,
At His Beck the Men Will Walk Out,
and Inland Marine Industry Will Be
Crippled at Once-Conference Likely
to Be Held Soon.

CHICAGO, July 22.-In the hands of
one man now rests the decision wheth-
er tie-up of the marine industries of
the Great Lakes shall be decreed. This
man is President D. J. Keefe, of the
International Longshoremen, Marine
and Transport Workers association.
Today, as result of the strike of tug
men which has been in progress since
April, the executive body of the asso-
citation empowered him to decide
whether the $4,000 members engaged
in loading, unloading and operating
vessels on the Great Lakes shall cease
work to help the tugmen in their strike
against the tug trust.
If the decision be for a fight work
will be suspended on all the iron ore,
coal and lumber docks along the chain
of lakes.
The fact that the licensed Tugmen's
Protective association was admitted to
membership in the 'longshoremen's as
sociation while it already had strike
on it's hands is taken to indicate that
its officers expect help. 1t is said that
the striking tugmen have for some time
endeavored to get the dock workers
mixed up in their strike.
/ With the whole matter in his hands
for settlement, it is likely that Mr.
Keefe will visit Cleveland within a
week for a conference with officials of
the Great Lakes Towing company.
Upon the result of this meeting will
largely depend the future of the strike
against the company.
Should general sympathetic strike
be ordered at this time the result would
be disastrous to lake commerce.

GUTHRIE, o. T., July 22.-Gov. Fer
guson was forced tonight to withhold his
decision in the appeal for communication
Of sentence of death imposed upon Sam
uel Bruner, a half breed Seminole negro
boy, accused of killing white boy, Mar
tin West, near Violet Springs, o. T., on
Dec. "a last. Today the governor was
notified that if the sentence was COM
muted there was great danger of mob
taking Bruner from the Tecumseh jaiI
and lynching him, and if not commuted
that a party of Bruner's friends are ready
to cross the Seminole line into Okla
homa and liberate him.
The governor sent a sealed verdict to
the Potawatomie county sheriff and
Bruner will be removed before either
party can reach him. The general opin-
ion Is that the sentence has been com
nuted. After the murder of West a mob
failing to find young Bruner lynched his
younger brother in the Seminole nation.

YOUNG VANDERBILT
IN AUTO COLLISION
w. X. Jr. Runs Into Market Wagon
in Paris-He and the Woman
Are Shaken Up.

PARIS, July 22.-As w. K. Wander
bilt Jr. was driving a small automobile
along the Chartres road, near St. Ar
mould, behind a larger machine today.
he collided with a market wagon, driv-
en- by woman, and both were upset.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was slightly injured on
the leg and arm, and the woman's face
was scratched. The automobile was
badly damaged.
The accident was due to the fact that
Mr.. Vanderbilt did not see the wagon
until too late to avert a collision ow-
ing to the dust raised by the larger
automobile.
