Politician.


st. Louis, June 3O.-Col. Edward
Butler prominent local politician,
came into court this afternoon in an
swer to a bench warrant charging him
with bribing a witness. He was re-
leased on a bond of $4,000, with John
7. O'Brien as surety.
The warrant was issued this after
noon by Judge Taylor at the request

bers of the House of Delegates, con-
victed of bribery.
The witness whom Butler is supposed
to have bribed is Charles F.. Kelley.
former speaker of the House of Dele

icar time in boodle developments here

Earlier in the day Col. Butler, who
was on the bonds of Charles A. Gutke
and Charles F. Kelly, former members
of the House of Delegates, who were
convicted If bribery, had surrendered
them and had announced that he would
also withdraw from the bonds of other

TRAIN WAS HELD UP
AND NEGRO WAS TAKEN.
1t Is Believed That Cairo Williams
Was Lynched.

Charleston, S. c.. June 30.-Cairo
Williams, the negro who killed Thurs
ton O. MCGEE, white, at Scranton, in
Williamsburg county. last February,
was taken from the Atlantic Coast
Line train at Scranton this evening and
lynched.
Williams narrowly escaped lynching
Immediately after the killing, and was
spirited off to the penitentiary in Co
lumbia for safe keeping, and the mob
was greatly enraged thereat.
Last Monday Williams was brought
from Columbia to Kingstree, the coun-
ty seat, for trial. The result was a
mistrial, and the sheriff thought it safe
to send him back to Columbia for safe
keeping. AS the train approached
Scranton a mob of lynchers with black
ened faces and wearing masks, tagged
it down with red flag and searched
the train for the negro, to the great
terror of the passengers. Finally they
found Williams and ordered the sher-
IFS deputies to deliver him up. This
was refused, and a scuffle ensued, in
which the deputies were much bruised.
The mob then took the negro away,
saying that he would be dead in Ave
minutes, and that was his fate, al
though the exact particulars are not
available.

Seoul, Korea. June, SO.-Evening-
Reports received here of the appear
ance of the Russian Vladivostok squad
ron off Gen San on the east coast of
Korea the warships were first seen at
$50 o'clock in the morning.
-Four torpedo boats entered the har-
Dor and sank a small steamer and a
junk. while the cruisers remained out
side and shelled the Japanese barracks
on shore. At the end of half an hour
the Russians withdrew in the midst
of a torrential downpour of rain, which
prevented the lookouts from noting
what direction they took.
The damage inflicted by the Russian
fire was slight and no casualties have
been reported. Further news, however,
is expected when the telegraph wire
between Seoul and Gen San, which was
broken by the storm, is restored.

IN HIS OWN COUNTRY
THE PROPHET IS BACK.
"DOctOr' DOwie Is Not without
Honor in Zion.

Chicago, June SO.-After a trip which
circled the earth, John Alexander
Dowie arrived in Chicago to-day. When
the train pulled in at the LaSalle street
station, however, there were no cheer
ing followers to meet him. He had sent
word ahead that he would not soil his
feet with the dust of Chicago.
Though many residents of Zion City
were busy all night making the finish
ing touches in the preparation for the
arrival of DR." Dowie, the entire place
was astir to-day. The streets were
decorated with flags and bunting.
Aside from a triumphal arch, the tab
ernacle was the special object of deco
ration.
The arch of triumph was made of i'm
itation blocks of stone. Each block
bore the name of a city which Dowie
had visited in his travels. Black let
ters denoted the cities where Dowie
had been received, while the names of
the cities that had Stunned him stood
out in glaring red
At the sound of a whistle the entire
population spent two minutes in silent
devotion, and then were given six min
utes in which to assemble for a pro-
cession which was to greet Dowie.
Ten companies of Zion City Guards,
seventy men each, formed III line,
while the so-called restoration host, +"
500 strong, accompanied by a sur
pliced choir marched to the sta
ton.
On the arrival of the train at Zion
City, Dowie's carriage, a victoria, trim
med with carnations, ferns and snlilaX,
conveyed the Doctor and his CHIEF
"Overseer" at the head of the process
sion to the arch, the Zion brass band
furnishing music. At the arch, ten
little girls stepped forward. robed in
white, with blue badges across their
breasts, bearing in gold letters, the
names of ten of the principal countries
which Dowie had visited. The children
carried large punches of roses which
they threw over Dowie and his par
ty.
The gates of the arch were then un-
locked by the overseer, who returned
to Dowie the key which, on his de-
parture, Dowie had given to the chief
overseer. Addresses were then made
by Dowie, his wife and Gladstone
Dowie. The white-robed choir sang an
anthem, and Dowie went into retire
ment to receive reports from his lieu
tenants.

the country and dependencies, popular
