men one of the eastern forts near Port

rived the Russians cut off the 1000

Russian torpedo boat sank a merchant
ship near Port Arthur, mistaking her
for a Japanese transport. Many Chi
nese on board the merchantmen were
drowned, but the white crew of the
steamer and number of her Chinese

RECEIVED THE MINERS.
They Wanted Him to Investigate
the Colorado Troubles.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 19.-Presi
dent Roosevelt to-day received the
committee appointed last Sunday by
the convention of the coal miners, and
allied crafts at Wilkesbarre, Pa. The
mission of the committee was to pre-
sent personally to the President a
petition asking for an investigation of
the labor troubles in Colorado with
a view, if possible, of remedying the
conditions now existing.
The committee met the President at
Sycamore Hill tonight. They pass
ed half an hour with Mr.. Roosevelt
in his library. The petition was laid
before the President. He read it care
fully and then informed the commit
tee that he would be glad to do any,
thing he properly and legally could
do to ameliorate the conditions exist
ing in the state of Colorado. He
indicated that an investigation of the
labor troubles in that state is being
made by agents Of the Department
of Commerce and Labor. Thus far
the situation had not been such as
would warrant interference by the
federal government.
Following the presentation of the
petition the President talked with his
callers on subjects of mutual interest.
The talk developed the fact that Hen
ry Herzovits, member of the COM
mittee, had fought with President
Roosevelt in Cuba. After exchanging

charged as accessory to the murder
of w. o. Chambless, a merchant. at
Graves Saturday night, against a sup
posed attack by mob.
The entire town was thrown into
a state of intense excitement by the
sound of the riot call. It was rumor-
ed that a mob was en- route to Daw-
son to lynch the negro. but it later
developed that the rumor was false
altogether. Nix narrowly escaped
death Sunday morning by the prompt
appearance and pleading of Sheriff
Christie and a few cool headed citi-
zens.
Since early Saturday night men
have been securing the country for
Gene Nix, the negro who killed
Chambless. Nix was captured at
Cuthbert last night. but in the excite
ment that followed he succeeded in
oscar ping. Dogs have since been on
his trail, and it is likely that he will
be recaptured soon.
Friends and relatives of the murder
ed man compose the posses who are
in pursuit of the murderer, and all
are wrought up to the highest pitch
since his escape last night, and If
expected. Rewards of $500 are now
standing for the negro's capture 5000
by the Governor. and 800 by the faith
er of the dead man.
No tragedy of recent occurrence in
Terrell county has created more ex-
element than that of Saturday night,
when Mr.. Chambless. was so foully
murdered.
Mr.. Chambless stepped out Of
his store at Graves to request
two negroes, Gene and viii
Nix, who were quarreling and fuss
ing in front of his store, to leave the
premises. When he ordered them to
do so one of the men turned and fired
on him with a pistol, the ball en-
tering the abdomen. Mr. Chambess
fell and the negroes fled. Before med
ical assistance could be secured Mr.
Chambless died, after gasping for
breath a few minutes. A large party
was soon organized and search made
for the fleeing negroes. Gene Nix
was captured, but Will is still at
large. Speedy justice was threatened,
but Gene claimed that his brother did
the shooting, and the searching party,
after placing Gene Nix in Jail at
Dawson, continued the search for Will
Nix.

THINK LOSS GREATER
THAN WAS REPORTED.

ST. Petersburg. July 19.-The War Of
flee has no further details of the
Russian repulse at Molten Pass. The
loss of men, which 1t is freely admitted
will probably be considerably in ex-
cess of Gen. Kuropatkin's figures given
out last night, is greatly deplored. But
evidently the engagement at least
served the purpose of demonstrating
that Gen. Kuroki's army has been
heavily reinforced north, and the gen.
eral staff is now inclined to believe
that the Japanese commander may
have decided that a frontal attack
from the south is inadvisable and is
concentrating his forces for direct
attack on Lao Yang
