CHINA SIGNS TREATIES.
That With America Settles Many
Vexed Questions.

That With America Settles Many
vexed Questions.
The state department has been in.
formed that the American Chinese
treaty has been signed at Shanghai
and that the Japanese Chinese treaty
Will be signed also. The cablegram
announcing the signing of the treaty
was sent from Shanghai and was
signed by Minister Conger, Consul
General Goodnow and Mr.. Seaman, the
three commissioners who negotiated
the instrument. An imperial decree
by the Chinese government has made
the treaty effective SO far as that gov
eminent is concerned, but it must be
ratified by the United States senate
before Publications can be exchanged
and the treaty put in operation.
Great satisfaction is expressed at
the state department at the outcome.
1t makes certain that the two ports
in Manchuria will be opened to the
United States, no matter what the
outcome as to the negotiations for
the evacuation of that territory by
Russia may be. The assurance that
Russia had previously given, and to
which this government would insist
upon adherence, is that the treaty
arrangements made with China cover
ing Manchurian ports will be binding
on the Russian government.
The principal points of the treaty
are briefly as follows:
First, the settlement of the long
vexed question of internal taxation in
China.
Second, recognition of Americans
right of residence throughout the en-
pire for missionary work.
Third, protection Of patents, trade
marks and copyrights.
Fourth, mining rights.
Fifth, opening of new localities to
international trade on the part of the
empire in which the United States
has vast commercial interests.
Sixth, the right to carry on trade
industries and manufactures in all
parts of China.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on trade the past
week:
Trade conditions are still irregular.
Business is of fair volume, but not so
active as a year ago, partly because
OF the backward season, heavy rains
interfering with crop movements and
collections; continued labor troubles,
present and past, discouraging build
ing operations and the spread of the
conservative feeling among buyers,
based upon stock market liquidation
and the feeling that the high prices
of many products will tend, if they
have not already done so, to automatic
ally check consumption.
Many underlying conditions are,
however, still favorable. First in i'm
portance should be reckoned the de-
cidedly better tone of advices from
the corn crop, which has developed a
better quality and larger yield than
was deemed possible. Special inquiry
by Bradstreets agents point to yield
of at least $3.50, 100000 bushels, of a
grade superior to that of a year ago.
A@OWOi PAASOo III ILLS OJu6T Ger
calls and for cotton, whose yield will
be smaller than seemed probable
month ago, seem likely to help out
backward export trade in these pro-
ducts and improve the foreign ex-
change outlook. Collections, too,
though backward, are improving as
the grain and cotton movement ex-
pand.
The volume of business doing by the
railroads is excellent.
The best trade advances come from
the southwest, notably at Kansas City
and st. Louis; from the western Sec
tons, such as Nebraska and Iowa,
where corn is turning out better than
expected; from the Pacific coast,
where trade is still unqualifiedly good,
despite the slowness of new wheat
and other crops to move, and from
portions of the south, such as the
Mississippi valley, where present
prices for cotton afford good return
for fair yields.

INDIANS AND BAD WH|SKEY
RLAcKFooT INDIAN REsERvA
TON SCENE OF CRIMES.
w. A. Kesupkst and Family and Two
Others FoulIy Murdered-AlI Black
foot Indians--cause Of Assault I'm
known-Four indians Placed Under
Arrest--oreat Excitement Prevails.

Browning, Mont, Oct 13.-Word
reaches here that as result of a
drunken row on the Blackfoot Indian
reservation, in western Montana
seven people are dead and two
wounded The dead are w. A. Ke.
supkst and Mrs. Kesupkst, their
three children and Susaw Big Road
and Mrs. Little Plume. The wound
ed are Alice Big Road and J. Little
Plume. All are Blackfoot Indians.
The attacking party was composed
of four or FIVE Indians.
The cause of the quarrel which was
followed by the tragedy has not been
fully ascertained. A number of In
dams held a carousal. In some man.
ner 1t is said Kesupkst incurred the
anger of several of the Indians and,
after he left the scene of the carousal,
they continued to drink and finally
started to massacre the Kesupkst
family. The Kesupkst family, who oc-
cupied large house, were all asleep
when the slaughterers began their
work. The fiends broke into the house
and fired upon the husband and faith
er as he lay in bed. He was shot
through the head, dying instantly.
Mrs. Kesupkst, awakened by the
cry, jumped from the bed before a
second shot could be fired, and, seiz-
ing her youngest child, ran scream
ing from the house. She was follow
ed and captured. She struggled to
keep possession Of her child, when
one of the attacking party placed a
revolver at the head of the infant
and fired The ball crashed through
the child's brain and entered the
mothers heart, killing both instantly.
In the meantime Susaw Big Road
and J. Little Plume, who attempted
to defend themselves, were over
powered. Big Road was shot through
the head and Little Plume's throat
was cut badly and his arm stabbed.
The other two children of the Ke-
supkst family were shot through the
head and Alice Big Road received a
bullet in the leg. Mrs. Little Plume
was apparently the last victim, her
throat being cut from ear to ear.
OF the victims, Alice Big Road will
recover, but Little Plume is in criti-
cal condition. 1t is impossible to learn
the truth of regarding the cause OF
the assault. Four Indians have been
placed under arrest, and the greatest
of excitement prevails on the western
part Of the reservation near where the
massacre occurred.

"The action just taken by the Van
derbilt system of railroads is due to
two things" said high official of tho
New York Central tonight. First,
that the outlook at the present time
demanded that retrenchment be made;
and, second, that the condition of the
rolling stock is such that retrench-
ment can be made in the department
which has charge of that with the least
damage to effectiveness"
