miraI SchIey to Attend.

Boston, March 4.-The committee
from the Governors council which has
in charge the arrangements for the
celebration of the anniversary of

ing, today. 1t was brought to the at
tention of this committee that Rear
Admiral Schley had accepted an invi-
tation to attend the exercises extended

Citizens Association was acting indi-
vidually without regard to the COM
monwealths arrangements and had in
vited the admiral to banquet in the
evening.

Revengeful Heathens.

Victoria, p. c., March 4.-Reports of
two massacres of missionaries in China
were received by the steamer Empress
of India which arrived from the Orient,

by a band of Chinese, including SOL
diers, who attacked their mission. The
first named priest was killed instantly
by a sword thrust, but the latter lin
gered for five days suffering from ter
rible wounds.
It is said that the attack was made
in revenge for the deposition of the son
Of Prince Tuan by the Empress Dow
ager at the request of the foreign min
listers. The magistrate of the district
being friendly to foreigners, warned the
missionaries but they were attacked
before they could get out of the way.
The other massacre took place in

dred subjects at a meeting of the Irish

to the memory of Robert Emmett The
chief address of the evening was made
by ex-Congressman John j. Lentz of
Ohio. Judge Edward F. Dunno of Chi
cago, presided and made a stirring adj
dress in praise of Robert Emmett. speech
es were also made by other local speak
ers. Ex-Congressman Lentz said in part:
IF England can justify the barbarous
war she is making against the Beers on
the ground that she cannot afford to al
low a republic to be ever established
across the Vaal river. then the people OF
the United States cannot afford to allow
a monarchial institution to strengthen it
self across the Detroit and St Lawrence
rivers. If England is right in South AZ
RIGA and if the government at Washing
ton is right in its policy in the Philip
pines, then much more justfiable will the
people of the United States be in insist
ing Immediately upon the annexation of
Canada

St John, N. B.. March A sad tale
reached the city, this afternoon, from the
Kennebeccasis river, five miles out of

little older, left their home here, this

open water was met. They had made
good progress and were in the boat when
two huge pieces of ice bore down upon
them.

Jumped Townsend could not swim, but
tried to cling to the ice with the aid of a
boat hook His brother, who could swim,
went to his aid and helped him TO the
boat, which had been badly damaged by
the ice; but their weight finished the work
of destruction and the boat broke to
pieces.
Townsend sank and was drowned. Ru-
dolph managed to reach the ice, but while
struggling was crushed by two other
pieces of ice which caught him at chest

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Meet at New Haven-Much Important
Business to Come Up.

New Haven, Conn.,, March 4.-Unusual
interest attached to the national con-
vention of the knights of Columbus
which began here. today, in view or
the fact that the new constitution
framed at the last session of the Ma
tional Council of the order was to be
submitted for adoption. The change of
insurance rates and the clause in the
new constitution barring more rigidly
than before from membership in the
order. persons directly connected with
the liquor traffic. have already given
rise to much discussion and the con-
vention was expected to give these mat
tiers especial consideration. The change
in insurance rates has been in force
for two months, but a movement has
recently been inaugurated in this state
to have the level rate of insurance re-
duced to members who have reached
the age of 60 and it was thought prob
able that this movement would find
strong expression in the convention.
The 20 delegates who assembled at 10
o'clock represent most of the states
and Canada. Edward l.. Hearn of
South mingham, Mass, supreme
knight of the order. called the delegates
to order. and after the preliminary
business was ended, presented his an
nual address. The national secretary,
Daniel Colwell of New Haven, gave a
report of the financial standing of the
order.
Other business of the early part of
the session included the appointment
of committee of credentials, reports
from state councils and reports of the
national treasurer, p. J. Brady, Cleve-
land, Ohio, the national physician, Will
liam r. McMannis, NJ. D., Brooklyn, N.
Y, and the national advocate. James
F.. Mcconnell. Fitchburg, Mass.
After the officers reports were read
Rev. Father Mcmahon of the Catholic
University of Washington, made an adj
dress in regard to the $4,000 being
raised for the purpose of establishing
4 chair of secular history at the uni
versity and urged the members of the
knights of Columbus to do their share
n contributing to this cause. He said
that $4,000 has already been raised.
At the conclusion of Father McMahon's
address the convention adjourned until
} o'clock tomorrow morning, when the
election of officers will take place.

RAILROADS SURPRISED.
Interstate Commerce and Sherman
Lave Will Be Enforced.

Chicago, March 4.-President Roose-
welt has given the railroad manage
ments of the entire country to under
stand that the interstate commerce and
the Sherman laws will be enforced to
the letter. says the Record-Herald. The
information has been conveyed through
the medium of the interstate commerce
commission, and it is understood that
the administration will not favor any
amendment to the law until the present
laws have been enforced and the re-
suit noted.
The Record Herald asserts that the
new order of things has caused con-
lsternation among the executive officials
of roads centering in Chicago and all
lare engaged in the work of cleaning
house" Hurried consultations have
resulted in the decision that all as
Isociations and organizations which are
in violation of the laws involved must
be done away with and every effort
made to show the commission that the
roads purpose is handling traffic free
of all pools or agreements.
The first move in this direction is the
dissolution of the Council Bluffs, Oma
ha and Sioux City commission, of
1t is understood that the Kansas City
committee will soon be dissolved. I'm
less the commission insists upon it.,
noting will be done with the western
trunk line committee at present, nor
with the various passenger associations
which are in violation of the Sherman
law. Similar action will be taken by
the lines of Chicago, and bureaus in
charge of Chairman Tucker will
probably be abolished.
Railroad officials are not a unit re-
garding the character of action neceS-
sary, but large number of them be-
| iieve that all organizations should be
done away with. Attention is called
to the fact that if everything is to be
handled on tariff schedules there will
be little for associations or statistical
bureaus, as some of them are called.

The Greenville Wooden Co, a 40
loom plant, engaged in the manufac-
ture on WOODEN and worsted goods at
Providence, r. l., has as a result of
the accumulation of unsold goods,
made an assignment. No statement of
assets or liabilities has been made, but
it is understood that they aggregate
less than $4,000, and that the COM
pany has resources far in excess of
that amount. Richard Waterhouse OF
the Greenville Co, made the assign
ment to w. A. Guile of Providence. II
is considered probable that the mill
will be continued in operation with
out much delay.
