STEAMER CARRIES
 MONEY FOR TROOPS
Authorities at Che Foo Refuse to AL low Vessel to Proceed to
 New Chwang.

Che Foo, August 31, p. m.-The steam ship Independent. under charter of the Oskala Steamship company to carry food from Japan to New Chwang. has been held here by the Che Foo commissioner of customs. The Independent put into this port to discharge passengers and local freight.
 The commissioner claims that If the steamship Is allowed to depart, the neu- trality of China will be violated, and he has demanded that the contraband among her cargo be landed here.
 The Japanese consul has protested and has referred the matter to the Japanese minister at Peldn. The commissioner of customs on his side has referred the mat ter to Sir Robert Hart chief of the Chi nese maritime customs service, whose rul- ings will establish a precedent.
 Pending a decision of the case the In- dependent will remain here with her cargo on board. !
 Notwithstanding official denials there is reason to believe that the Independent carries large sum of money, the maxi mum estimate upon which is $5,000.000 des- tined to pay General Kuroki's army. The Japanese torpedo boat destroyer arrived here last night at 10 o'clock, having come over at top speed from Port Dalny and at once took on board all the money on the Independent with the exception of s15000. The destroyer then left.

 Although the weather was somewhat threatening all day, a large crowd gath cred and the judge was heartily cheered as he entered the grounds Judge and Mrs. Parker have long made 1t their an nual custom to attend this fair, and most of those attending 1t are personally known to him.
