BLOODY FIGHT AT CAMP HERRICK
Fatal Clash Between Regulars and The State Troops Which Corporal
Clark Of Warren Was Instantly Killed and Several Other SOL

NO CANTON men WERE INVOLVED IN The TROUBLE

around every regiment and 1t Is believ-
ed that the murderers of Corporal
Clyak will be apprehended.
Within a few minutes after the
shooting, the news of the tragedy was
telephoned to division headquarters.
where the report was received by Cen
eral Dick. who Immediately issued Or
ders to have a
DOUBLE GUARD
thrown around all organizations. The
first battalion Of the First regiment,
under Major Charles Becht, accompan-
led by the other battalion command
ers, Major Frank Ward and Harry
Bryan, two companies of the Twenty
seventh United States Infantry un-
der the personal command of Col
Yeatman. Every street crossing along
the road from Athens to the manoeuv-
ring camp is strongly guarded.
A Gordon of guards have been thrown
along the banks of the Hooking river
where 1t is thought possible for the
frioting soldiers to cross and their cap
ture is certain.
Colonel Hake of the First artillery
with his portion of his command, Is
assisting in the direction of the guards
tonight. Colonel Simmerman Of the
Fifth, of whose command Corporal
Clark was a member was at the Second
brigade camp where he received thu
news of the tragedy He at once or

When the riot alarm was sounded
Sheriff Murphy was called up by Gen

more troops to quell the disturbance
The sheriff said more guards wer,
necessary and the First detachment o
the National guards were forwarded
under the command of the sheriff.
Later in the evening provost Gen
eral Worthington X. Autzman arrived
and he will remain in charge of tn
guards until all possibilities of a dis
turbance is removed.
Colonel Simmerman Is of the opinion
that the shooting was done by som
members of the United States detach
ment here. He says that every mem
Der of the guard has been rigidly
searched for loaded cartridges and tha
no man is allowed to carry any weapon
loaded with ball. On the other hand

PECULIAR QUESTION
Raised About a Russian
Boat,

Shang Hal, Aug. 20. - Uondon
Times. )-When the taotoi Of this port
sent his ultimatum to the Russian
commander here yesterday, demand
ing that the destroyer Grosovoi leave
port within "a hours and the cruiser
Askold within 4S hours, the Russian
oDnsul entered a vigorous protest.
He declared that the destroyer could
not be rendered seaworthy In less
than IS and the Askold in less than
28 days.
The Japanese consul then made the
claim that the repairs planned by the
Russians would increase the fighting
efficiency of the two craft and the
taotoi took the same view and repeat.
ed his orders.
The impression prevails that the
two craft will be dismsntled and turned
over to the care of the Chinese gov,
ernment until the end Of the war. The
Russians have raised peculiar Ques
tion. however. that Is troubling the
British officials here. The drydoch
in which the Askold reposes is the
property of British company and IL
not under the jurisdiction Of China
The Russians claim therefore. thai
Great Britain is the only nation thai
can order the cruiser out to sea.

A STRIKE
May Tie Up Elevated
Road.

New York, Aug. 19.-There are indi-
cations that, in consequence of a
grievance between the employees of the
elevated railroad and the officials of
the subway a strike may be declared
within the next few. days which will
tie up the entire elevated system. This
grievance is the result Of the alleged
violation on the part of John b. Nc
Donald, Vice President Bryan, and
General Superintendent Hehey of the
Inter- borough Rapid Transit company
of a verbal agreement with the ele-
waited employees to give them the prefer
ence of jobs on the underground when
the new road was opened.
The decision of the engineers, con.
ductors and guards to act was reach.
ed tonight at special meeting Of theii
organization.
1t was nearly midnight when thi:
meeting was terminated. When Chic
Jenks of the engineers came out h,
said:
"The fremen, engineers, and train
men have decided to stand together IL
this matter. The grievance of one viii
be the grievance of all. If our de
mands are not met we will 60 out.

blown down.
A delivery wagon rounding the cor
ner of Destrahan and Nineteenth
streets was struck by the wind and
overturned. The driver, whose name
could not be learned. was hurled to the
pavement and sustained a fractured
skull. His condition is critical.
Several house-boats, moored at the
river front, were sunk by the awful
blow. A terminal locomotive was over
turned by the wind at the foot of Mar
ray street. Telephone communication
with Venice, Madison and Granite City
was almost suspended
The East st. Louis police report that
no damage was done in that city by the
storm but that it had struck Brooklyn,
village to the north.
The entire st. Louis plant of the ME-
dringhaus Rolling mills was completely
wrecked The MAIN force of the wind
seems to have struck it and it fell with
terrible crash In the mill were em-
ployed about 600 men and more than a
score were injured. The smokestack of
the mill, so feet long, and 1S inches
in diameter. was blown across the
river.
A northbound Broadway car mirac-
ulously escaped being crushed under
falling telegraph pole
! 1t is not believed that street car
traffic can be resumed in the cyclone
district for two days at least. For
more than a half mile on North Broad
way the wires are down.
The wife of the chief of the police OF
the town of Venice was among the
killed. Her two small children were
badly injured 1t is thought that the
total number of injured including IA
talities and slight wounds throughout
southern Illinois as a result of the cy-
clone will be at least 100.
Many rural districts have not been
heard from as yet and the probability
is that the total will be sadly increased
when all reports are in.
THE DEAD:
John Ellington, engineer Standard Oil

Mrs. Bennett, wife of Chief of Police
of Venice.
Frank Henderson, (colored) drowned
from a house boat.
Two unidentified men. at Twentieth

DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIES.

The public meeting of the Farmers
Institute, at the Government Nursery
this evening. should be numerously at
tended. Diversified industries is
something which many talk about as
desirable for Hawaii but when it
comes to doing anything to help estab-
lish some industry other than sugar,
most everybody is willing to let the
other fellow do it. The number of peo-
pie who take an active interest in
diversified agriculture In Hawaii is
comparatively small, but these few are
In earnest, and will not DE deferred
from their work by lack of attendance
of the general public at meetings held
for the purpose of promoting new and
helping older enterprises. AT the same
time a manifestation of appreciation is
always a help, and all who can do so
should attend the meeting this even
ing, not only to encourage the good
work, but to gain knowledge for them
selves.

1t is easy to see why the Panamites
want a sea-level canal at the expense
of hundred millions more, for the
longer the waterway is in building,
and the more it costs, the better for
the Panama business men and spec
uiators. But there appears to be no
reason, from the American point of
view, why the lock plans should be
changed. A lock is not a serious OBJ
struction, and very large ones are now
used on the Nile at the Assouan dam,
where they work with ease and a
prompt despatch of trade, At Panama
the engineering problems are not diff
cult, and commerce prefers to get a
lock passage sooner than to wait some
extra years for a tide-level privilege
having to pay larger tolls on account OF

TRADE WITH MtMco.

The recent announcement Of q pro-
posed new form ~ currency Tor Mex
leo lends especial interest 10 some hg-
urcs Just compiled by the Department
OF Commerce and Labor through iis
Bureau Of Statistics regarding the cufn-
merce between the United states a.'d
Mexico. These figures show that the
exports from the United states TO Mex
leo have grown from i3.000,0oO dollars
I'm 1890 to 4G.0 oo 900 dollars In 1904. SPEAK
ing in round terms: and that The In
ports into the United states from Mex
leo have grown from q, 00O, 600 dollars In
1890 TO $4,000. 600 in 1904 Thus our ex-
ports TO Mexico in 1904 were three and
one-half times as great as in 1890. and
our imports from Mexico practically
twice as great as in that year.
An even more interesting fact Is
found I'm a comparison of the hgures
of Mexican trade with the United states
with the total trade of Mexico. These
show that of the imports into Mexico
in the latest year for which Informal
ton is available the United States sup
piled 50 per cent of the total imports,
and that of the exports from Mexico
rs per cent were sent to the United
states. Mexico takes from the United
States n larger share OF her total i'm
ports than any other country In the
world except Canada, which takes 80
per cent of her imports from the United
States; and Mexico sends to the united
States also a larger share of her ex-
ports than any other country In the
world except Cuba, of whose exports
during the fiscal year 1904, sos per cent
went to the United States. as against
76 per cent of the total exports of Mex
leo sent to this country. While figures
the percentage OF Mexican Inn
ports supplied by the United States and
the percentage of Mexico's exports sent
to the United states are not available
for earlier years, 1t is well known mat
the United States has rapidly increased
the share which she supplies of the i'm
ports into Mexico and the share which
she takes of the exports from Mexico.
This increase has been especially mark
ed since the construction of railroads
entering Mexico from the United States.
Prior to the construction OF railroads
between the Unlteu states anu "eN'''
the share of Mexico's imports supplied
by the United States ranged from 20 to
30 per cent, against the 80 per cent of
the present time, as above noted; while
the share of Mexico's exports sent TO
the United states was about In the
same proportion. The effect of direct
rail communication between the United
States and Mexico is also illustrated
by the fact that the Central American
states, which can only be reached by
water, as was the case with Mexico
prior to the construction of railways
the two countries, now
take 40 per cent of their imports from
the United States, as against the 50 per
cent which Mexico takes of her imports
from us.
