RAID ON BOSTON CHINESE.
Three Hundred Without Certificates
Taken to Police Station.

Boston, Oct. lathe murder of
Wong Yak Chung, in Chinatown, two
weeks ago, the result, it is claimed Of
the highbinders' plot, was followed to-
night by general raid on the section,
under the direction of immigration
Commissioner Billings. Nearly 800
Celestials unable TO produce certificates
of registration were taken to che deten-
tion-room at the Federal building.
The only accident that occurred during
the raid was the, overturning of Q
loaded barge containing 80 Cinnamon
and several policemen. Two policemen
and number of the Cinnamon were
badly bruised.
Eevry resort was visited. The APP
pearance of the officers was followed
by rush into the streets, but the flee
ing Cinnamon found every means OF
exit closed. They were gathered up by
the score.
Five patrol wagons were inadequate
in transporting the prisoners to the
Federal building, and milk wagons, g
barge and an electric car were pressed
into service. The barge had hardly
moved dozen feet when it overturned
and the occupants, consisting of sc
Cinnamon and Is policemen and two
drivers, were thrown into the street il
confused mass.

UTAH CONVICT RHcAPTURHD.
Weary and Famlshed, tie Yields to
Constable Without a Struggle.

Salt Lake, Oct 14.-Famished with
hunger, his limbs torn and bleeding
from contact with the thorny under
brush through which he plunged in his
mad fight for freedom, Nick Haworth,
one of the two convicts who escaped
from the state prison near here Friday
night, was today recaptured in cabin
less than a dozen miles from the peni-
Tertiary. Contrary TO expectation,
Haworth made no resistance and meek
ly complied with the command to sur
render.
The arrest was made shortly before
noon by Constable Nelson, assisted by
three citizens from the little village of
Halliday, Haworth's presence in the
locality was first discovered by the l6-
year-old son of Constable Nelson. He
Immediately notified his father. who
selected three reliable men, armed
them with shotguns and drove TO the
cabin, expecting Haworth TO give bat--
tie. The latter, however, quietly sub
mitted TO arrest. He was taken back
to the penisentiary, locked in a muir
derer's cell and double guard placed
over him.
James Lynch, the other condemned
prisoner, who escaped, is still at large,
but prison officials look for his early
capture.

NOT TOO LATE YET.
War Between Russia and Japan Can be
Very Essl.y Prevented.

Berlin, Oct. 13.-Russia and Japan
act as though either would fight If the
other should hold immovably to the
position taken at the last exchange OF
communications. This is the actual
situation as understood officially from
reports received from the German en-
bassy at St. Petersburg and the German
legation at Toxic. Yet this mutual at
titude at hostile preparations by both
countries is still regarded here as not
excluding an honorable arrangement.
Neither government has gone SO far
that it must fight or be Inundated, but
either cabinet by single step can put
the other in that position. This deli
cate balance may, of course, be violent
