Pekin, Jan. 13.-Missionaries of the
American board of foreign missions
complained strongly recently to United
States Minister Conger that their con
verts in the district of Paotingfu were
being looted by bandits who claimed
to be Catholics and that reign of ter
ror prevailed in the district The Chi
nese officials feared to act and several
Christians who refused to pay black
mail were tortured. Their legs were
broken and some died from their in
juries. Minister Conger requested the
Chinese government to suppress the
bandits, but his demand was without
apparent result Secretary Williams
after a weeks personal investigation
effected an arrangement with the off,
Gals of the district, who promised to
protect the people if Minister Conger
would cease to make complaint which
injured them at the seat of govern
ment. Secretary Williams is not sat
isfied that the bandits are Catholics.
The Catholic bishop disclaims them.

mttted certain postoffice inspectors to
remain in court after the other wit
nesses had been required to retire.
Six witnesses were examined, al of
them in the employ of the postofice
department. Except in the case of
Witness Howley, chief clerk of the
Office of the first assistant postmaster
general, the testimony was devoid of
any feature. Mr.. Howley, who had not
concluded his testimony when court
adjourned for the day, was rigidly
cross-examined by Mr. Kumler of coun-
sci for the Lorenzs. He admitted that
frequently it happened that Machen's
initials and signature were placed on
letters, orders and acquisitions by his
subordinates, and that this practice
had resulted in an order to all division
chiefs prohibiting their delegating
this authority to others.

ST. LOUIS GETS IT
Democratic National Convention to Be
Held in Exposition City.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The Demo
cratic national committee furnished q
surprise, selecting ST. Louis as the
place for holding the national conven-
ton of 1904 The date fixed for the
convention was Wednesday, July g. at
IL o'clock Previous to the meeting
of the committee it seemed foregone
conclusion that Chicago would be Sc
lected as the place of meeting, but pol
iticaI exigencies entered into the ST
uation, and majority Of the commit
tee voted for ST. Louis. For some
hours previous to the meeting of the
committee there was talk in the cor
ridors and among Democratic leaders
that the convention in Chicago might
be subject to the influence of a strong
movement and a strong newspaper in
f1uence in favor of some particular
candidate. Mr.. Knapp of the st.
Louis Republic limited at this in his
speech by saying that the convention
If held at St Louis would be welcomed
by an absolutely fair press. Twenty
nine votes were cast for the exposition
city on the second ballot. The first
ballot resulted: New York, 6; st.
Louis, %; Chicago, 81.
The committee meeting covered con-
siderable discussion of politics, and
the claims of various candidates were
advocated by their partisans, but moth
ing like favoring any candidate ap-
peared in the committee proceedings.

WEEKLY ST0CkYARDs LETTER
Prices IN South Omaha Holding up Well
Need More corn-Fed
Cattle.

South Omaha, Nov. l6-Sc
much short fed stuff was poured
into Chicago during the past week
that prices broke there, causing
a general lcssening throughout the
country. Well fed, finished cattle
brought the usual good values and
were in the usual demand. Corn.
fed steers are beginning to show
up at South Omaha, but in much
smaller numbers than can be
handled here. If shippers will
divide their shipments between
the markets along the Missouri
river, they will prevent an over
flow at Chicago and aid in sustain
ing values.
Quotations for stock of all
classes run as follows:
Cattle-Good to choice grades,
So to $40; fair to good So to Sc;
short fed and warmed up stuff 81
to A.S5. Range steers 10 to %
cents higher than last weeks
report, good grades bringing $4.S5
though the common grades run
from S3.l5 downwards.
Hogs--Heavy receipts have
forced prices down a little. The
bulk of good grades have sold for
$3.50, with the packers a little
bullish at that price. A few
choice loads brought S4.S21 and
$3.50. Prices are Is to 20 cents
higher than a year ago this time.
but are now the lowest since June
In consequence a slight stiffening
seems probable.
Sheep-Receipts have been

NEW MAIL LINE
Saratoga to Dillon Service to Begin on
Nov. 2e-Psopls At Dillon Delighted
With the Change.

G. M. Scribner, the proprietor
of the Saratoga ncampment stage
line, returned Tuesday evening
from a trip to Dillon, where he
went to make arrangements for
the care of express, teams, ETC., at
that end of the line. He reports
the people of Dillon very happy
over the prospects of getting their
mail and express on time from
and after the Goth of this month,
at which time the service from
Saratoga to that point begins.
Mr.. Scribner receiveda telegram
from the Post Office Department
last Friday that his bid to carry
the mail from Saratoga to Dillon,
via Rudefeha, had been accepted
and that the service would begin
on the 26th of November. For
the past two years the mail for
Dillon and Rudefeha has been
going via Encampment, Battle
and Rambler, over a point of the
mountain, ON Il road which is well
nigh impossible even IN summer.
As consequence of this the peo-
Pile of Dillon have been getting
their mail and express semi-occa-
sionally. No blame is to be
attached to the contractor, for the
reason that the route was simply
impossible for half the time each
year.
Mr.. Scribner will establish g
half way station somewhere In the
foothills, either at the Transfer
or near that point,

Her First Railway Trip.

An old lady on her first railroad
trip noticed the bell cord overhead,
and turning to a boy, she pointed
to the cord and said:
"What is that for?"
"That, marm," he said, with a
miscellaneous twinkle in his eyes,
"is to ring the bell when you want
anything to eat"
Shortly afterward- the old lady
reached her umbrella up to the
cord and gave it a vigorous pull.
The whistle sounded, the brakes
were put on, the train began to
slacken its speed, windows were
thrown up, questions asked and
confusion reigned among the
passengers. The old lady sat
calmly through it all, little dream
ing that she WIS the cause of the
excitement.
Presently the conductor came
rushing through the train and
asked:
''Who pulled the bell?'
Il did" replied the old lady
meekly.
"Well. what do you want?'
snapped the official, mpatiently

CAPITOL QUESTION OPEN
Lander Has More Votes than Cheyenne,
without Sufaeient Number Hovsvs.
to Secure . Majority.

A communication from Chey-
enne yesterday states that the
capitol question is practically
unsettled, and that neither Chey-
enne mol Lander, the two main
contestants have the permanent
location. AS the returns now
stand Lander is slightly in the
lead, but with not enough votes to
constitute a majority.
While the returns are still in
complete SO far as the capitol are
concerned, there is now no ques.
ton but what the matter will re-
main open, making it necessary to
again vote on the proposition
whenever the legislature sees fit
to take it up, which will, in all
probability, not be for fifteen or
twenty years. In the meantime,
of course, the capitol remains at
Cheyenne.
The Cheyennese feel pretty sore
over the result, as the next time a
vote is taken the state will have
developed to such an extent the
site will probably be changed.
