MINER KILLED.
First Loss of Life in the Great Anthrs-
cite Coal Strike,

Ctc NOdI 0ITIkSs
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 2.-The first
loss of life during the anthracite strike
occurred yesterday at the William A
colliery at Duryea. Antonio Guisuepe,
an Italian, was shot dead by one of
the coal and iron policeman from be-
hind the stockade of the colliery.
Reports differ as to the cause of the
shooting. Friends of the dead man
say that he was walking on the road
near the stockade when he was fired
upon. The man was on his way from
Scranton to Duryea at the time.
Another report is that the Italian
tried to get over the fence and would
not heed the warning of the policemen
to go away. He insisted in making
his way into the stockade and was
fired upon.
There is much indignation over the
shooting and the sheriff Of Lacka-
wanna county was summoned to take
steps to preserve order as it is re-
ported that there would be an upris.
ing among the foreigners and that
they would attack the stockade be-
fore night
The body lay in the roadway for
some time. The coal and iron police
would not venture outside of the stock
ade to remove it and the people liv-
ing in the vicinity did not want to re-
move it until the arrival of the coro-
ner. When the sheriff reached the
scene he ordered the body removed to
an undertaking establishment.

Washington, July 1.-THE general
deficiency bill which yesterday be-
came a law carried an appropriation
for Iowa's ancient war claim against
the general government. Within
few days treasury warrants in favor
of the governor of Iowa for s456, 417.S9

item of S725.24 in favor of former In
dian Agent Rebok and present Agent
Malin, reimbursing them for expenses
incurred in the Indian trouble at Tama
some years ago. One of the Indians
declined to go to school. Rebok COM
PEELED his attendance and the Indian

Shiras, who decided last year that the
Indians contention was good and fined
Rebok $3.50 and Malin SO, which with
the costs. brought the total expense to
the amount stated. Congress took the
ground the Indian agents acts were
justified and made the loss good.

BURDENS MAY BE LIGHTENED.
Powers Likely to Adopt Less Rigorous
Measures in China,

Washington, July 3.-The state de-
partment is somewhat encouraged by
advices just received from China in its
hope that the powers will consent to
adopt less rigorous measures in the
treatment Of China.
1t has been informed that England
has consented to accept it's indemnity
in silver or on the silver basis, which
is in line with the contention of the
United States, and it is understood
that Japan will do likewise. These
powers ranged in accord may influence
the remaining signatories to the Pc
king agreement toward a more liberal
construction of the clauses dealing OF
the rate of exchange at which the in.
demnity payments are to be calculat.
ed. The situation at Tien Tsin is also
improving and it is now said that Rus
STA, England and Japan have taken
sides with the United States in hold
ing that the restrictions imposed on
the Chinese occupation are far too Sc.
we're and should be relaxed. 1t is con-
fidently expected that this view will
prevail and that the powers will soon
be able to effect complete withdraw
al from China save for the legation
guards.

NEW MARKET FOUND.
Really First Class Cattle Could Be
Sold in Buenos Avres,

Washington, July 2.-Frank w.
Bicknell of Des Moines, Ia, special
agent and agricultural explorer of the
agricultural department, writing from
Buenos Ayres to the bureau of animal
industry, says that it is possible for
some of the breeders of the United
States to send some really first class
animals to that place; now is a good
time to do so, as British cattle have
been barred owing to an outbreak of
foot and mouth disease in England.
The cattle must arrive in Buenos
Ayres not later than August 1, so as to
have time to get in condition before
the opening of the great animal show
of the Rural society, which begins in
Buenos Ayres September IA and lasts
five days. This show brings out the
Lest animals in the country and is for
pure bred stock only. At this time
all the best sales of the year are made,
both on the show grounds and in the
large auction houses in the city. Rep
resentatives of some of the principal
houses there say few good animals
from the United States may be sold.
but it is useless to send anything but
the very best.

Petitions Congress for an Investigation
of His Administration

Washington, June 30.-E. G. Rath,
bone, who was formerly director gen.
eral of posts of Cuba and was con.
victed in Cuba on charges involving
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of his Office has
petit;oned congress to order a con.
{. ~essicnal investigation OF all his acts
in Cuba. The petition is based on
allegations that the proceedings which
led to his conviction were not judicial,
but were special and irregularly con-
uucted; ex parte evidence was ad.
mitted in the absence OF the petitioner,
and the trial court refused to summon
witnesses in his behalf; that evidence
vital and material to his defense was
withheld and tnat lie evidence of the
principal witnesses o. the state was
not given under oatn.
The petiti2n recites that under the
Cuban laws a defendant in criminal
trial is not required to be sworn, and
cannot be punished for perjury if he
gives false testimony This witness,
the petition alleges, was convicted
under the same proceedings as the
petitioner, but was pardoned on turn
ing states evidence. He also took ad-
vantage of his position as a witness
for the state to secure his pardon.

BRIBERY WHOLLY IMAGINARY.
Burden Of Christmas Story Was That
He Had to Have Money.

He Had to Have Money.
Washington, July 1.-Chairman Dial,
cell Of the special committee of the
house of representatives, which inves-
tigated the charges in connection with
the purchase of the Danish West In
dies, yesterday submitted a report of
that committee. After detailing the
charges of bribery and showing that
Captain Christmas had repudated the
alleged report on which the charges
were based, the committee sums up
the results of their investigation as
follows:
That there is not the slightest sem
blance of evidence that any member
of congress, either directly or indi-
rectly, was offered or received any
bribe, or was paid any valuable con-
sideration of any kind or character to
vote for or assist in procuring the pro-
posed adoption or ratification of treaty
of sale of the Danish West Indian
islands to the United States. There
is not the remotest ground from which
to draw an inference or on which to
base conclusion that there was any
corruption or wrongdoing on the part
of the public officials of the United
States in connection with the negotia-
tons for the purchase and sale of the
Danish West Indian islands.
1T is plain beyond peradventure
that the bribery alleged in the report
could have existed nowhere save in
the imagination Of Christmas, since
the whole burden of his story is that
LIE had no money. 1t is in evidence
that he had to borrow in order to pay
his passage home from this country"

Rubber Stamps to Play important

Creston, July 2.-The legality of a

THE IOWA CODE.

New Volume of Law.

Judge McClain Hired to Annotate the
New Volume Of Law.
Des Moines. July 3.-Work on the
code supplement will be begun by the
state printer at once. Composition
will be pressed rapidly. If the rate
that was attained when the code was
put in type is reached it will be pos
sible to get the supplement out by
September /, the date fixed by law for
its completion. These matters and
others pertaining to the code and the
code supplement were settled at the
meeting of the code supplement COM
mittee yesterday. The committee con-
sists of Senator James H. Trewin of
Lansing, Senator w. P. Whipple of
Vinton and Senator Claude Porter of
Centerville, and Representatives Bar
ker of Howard, Payne of Appanoose
and Hamann of Scott All were at the
meeting yesterday but representative
Hamann. Senator Trewin is chair
man Of the committee and Represen-
tative Payne is secretary. Judge En-
lin McClain, who will annotate the
supplement, and John r. Carter Of
Sioux City, code supplement editor,
were at the meeting.
The problem before the committee
was whether the index to the code
should be put into the code or the
supplement. The assembly provided
for a new edition Of the code of $500
copies and for an edition of $4,000 of
the supplement. The committee deter
mined to republish the code of 1897
in practically the same form as now.
The index to the code as it now stands,
with additions and cross references
will be a part of the volume. The
code supplement will contain about
1920 pages. The supplement will
have the index to the code, with addi-
lions and cross references, and also
an index to the code supplement. 1t
is thought this arrangement will ms
ure the greatest possible convenience.
