TEN THOUSAND IN REVOLT.
Armed Rebels In Cheng-TIng- FuI Are Too
Strong for the Civil Government
to Cope With.

Pellin, May s.-Bishop Favier, the
French vicar apostolic in China, has
received information to the effect
that 10000 armed rebels, with sew
erai cannon, are participating in the
revolt at Cheng-Ting-Fui Chilli prov
ince. 1t is considered doubtful if
Yuan-ShipKai, the governor of Chi
Ii has sent a sufficient force to cope
with the rebellion. The bulk of the
government forces, with ten Calling
guns, are due to arrive at the scene
of the disturbances to-day. The lead
er of the uprising is a military man
DARN, who killed his family before
raising the flag of revolt, so as to
prevent their punishment in the
event of his failure.
To crush an incipient rebellion in
the KwangTung province of China,
the viceroy has caused over 5000
malefactors to be beheaded.

PROBING BEEF TRUST.
Packers Objected to the Proceedings Be
fore Missouri Supreme Court. But At
tOrney General Crow Was suataIned.


Jefferson City, Mo-, May 6.-At the
opening of the beef trust inquiry in
the state supreme court yesterday
Mr.. Hagerman. of Kansas City, rep
resenting the Armour, Cudahy, Swift,
Norris and Hammond interests, filed
an objection to the progress of the
inquiry. Mr.. Hagerman, who was &C
companied by Alexander New, said
that he proposed to bring in question
the validity of the state antitrust
law. eve represent" said Mr..
Hagerman, 'the concerns which At
torney General Crow charges with
unlawful combination. Our clients
on our advice are not present. Tho
proposed proceeding is an unfair one
to them, as they have not been al
lowed to summon witnesses. We
wish to proceed by an application for
a writ of prohibition or a certiorari.
We wish to bring the law before the
supreme court, to be passed upon as
to its constitutionaIty. This pro-
ceeding is merely a fishing expedi-
ton on the part of the attorney gen
eraI.''
Judge Burgess ruled that the in
quiry should proceed and Frank
Staubenraush, a ST. Joseph retailer,
was called as the first witness.
Staubenraush said the packers had
C. o. D. list. If man is a few days
behind in his bill he goes on the c..
o. D. list, and can get no meat ex-
cept by paying when it is delivered.
If man has trouble with one packer
he must go on the c. o. d. list of all
of them. Woolf, of Topeka, tried to
sell meat in ST. Joseph, but the pack
ers put prices of meat down and
drove him out. Then they put prices
back where they were before he
came and later became higher. Price
lists by the city statesmen were, he
said, the same for the same grades
of beef. Slaughter houses run by
independent butchers have practical
ly gone out of existence in ST. Jo-
seph. The packers sell meat cheap
enough to keep them out.

ssRIGHT OF RErALIATIoN +"
Gen. Bell Makes Excuse for Orders to
Punish FnIpinOs-Secretary Root En-
lightens the Senate

Washington, May s. Secretary
Root yesterday submitted to the SEN
ate an answer to the resolution of
May 1, calling for copies of any or
ders issued by Gen. Bell relative to
RECOMMENDATION in Batangas and of
the orders issued by Gen Smith to
Maj. Waller, set up by the latter in
his defense before the court-martial.
The secretary also was asked to
state whether these orders were ap-
proved by Gen. Chaffee or by the
war department, when they were
known in the department and when
cOuntermanded.
In reply the secretary submits two
orders by Gen. Bell, dated Decem-
Der 8 and last. In the first Gen.
Bell refers to the treachery of the
natives, to their use of Internal ma
chimes and to their Constant viola
ton of all the rules of civilized war
fare. Therefore he declares that he
is reluctantly obliged to avail him
self of the right of retaliation under
the regulations and to deal severely
with persons who commit the acts
denounced in general order 100.
SECRETARY hOOJ says GHSI0 Is 10
reason to doubt that the policy en-
bodied in the above orders was at
orce the most effective and humane
which could be possibly followed
and, declaring that so, indeed, has it
proved, he submits copies of the tele-
grams announcing the surrender of
Malvar and the termination of or
ganized resistance in the northern
Philippines.
The secretary denies knowledge of
any order issued by Gen. Smith to
Maj. Waller, such as was referred to
i'll the court-martial, and he encloses
his orders for Gen. Smiths trial,
based upon newspaper publications,
as confirmed by Gen. Chaffee. He
declares that all of Gen. Smiths
written orders relative to Samar al
ready have been printed by the SEN
ate and that all are in strict con-
formity with general order 100. In
conclusion the secretary submits
dispatches from Gen. Chaffce of late
date reporting extensive surrenders
of the insurgents and the reOpening
of the ports to trade as proof of the
success Of the policy embodied in the
written order.

CONCESSION TO MILLERs.
Western RAILROADS Have Placed Export
Flour on a Level with Wheat as .-.
Regards Transportation.

Chicago, May THE Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul road has placed ex-
port -four on level with wheat in
the matter of transportation charg-
es. This action will be followed by
all western lines with similar rates
and means saving of millions yearly
to the millers of the northwest. For
years the millers have vigorously
contended that if the rates were
made the same on wheat and flour
grain would not be taken from the
United States, but would be made
into flour here and then shipped for
export. Strong appeals for relief
have recently been made to Presi-
dent Roosevelt direct, to congress
sionaI committees and to the inter
state commerce commission.

COLOR QUESTION SETTLED.
Club Women at Los Angeles Do Not Of
fend Southern Delegates In Arriv-

Los Angeles, Cal, May Club
women were treated to foraI~sur-
prise Monday morning, for when
they entered the great auditorium,
which last week was decorated with
10000 Gala lilies, they were greeted
with the OdOr of thousands and thou
sands of pink carnations, which had
replaced the lilies as a solid back
ground to the platform and as a
border to the two balconies.
The convention at the session Mon
day overwhelming accepted what is
known as the New York compromise
on the color question, which is con-
sidered largely a victory for the
south in that it does not explicitly
provide for the admission of colored
clubs.

REAR ADMIRAL w. t. SAMPSON.


yesterday forenoon suffered a severe
cerebral hemorrhage. At the bed
side when the admiral breathed his
last were Mrs. Sampson, Mrs. Lieut..
Cluverius, the admiraPs married
daughter; Admiral SIMPSONS two
young sons, Ralph and Harold Samp-
son; DR.. Dixon, the attending physi-
clan, and nurses and attendants
Mrs. Sampson has broken down IN
der the severe strain, and was quite
i'll during the day. But for the criti-
cal condition of the admiral she
would have been confined to her bed.
By the death of Rear Admiral
Sampson is removed a man who for
more than 40 years had no other aim
in life than devotion to the United
States navy. He knew intimately
every branch fnaval warfare, and
his advice and counsel were esteemed
by secretaries of the navy for a gen
GRAFTON. The controversy over the
battle of Santiago, which resulted in
Rear Admiral Schley calling for
court of iquiry, preyed upon the mind
of Rear Admiral Sampson, and the
worry which resulted no doubt ag-
gravated the malady from which he
died.
