Leonidas Hubbard jr, who perished in the
interior of Labrador last October. The

OFFERED A Commission
IN Chinese REFORM ARMY
Harry r. Campbell, of This City,
Receives Letters from Gen. En-
glish at Yankton, S. d.
WILL PROBABLY ACCEPT

Conforming to the plan to provide Amer
lean officers for the imperial reform army
of China, recently given publicity through
the Journal, Harry r. Campbell, 20l7 North
Illinois street, who served as first lieuten-
ant during the Spanish-American war, has
been offered high commission by General
English, the American member of the gen.
eral staff of the Oriental forces. From his
headquarters in Yankton, S. D., General
English is sending to officers of the Span
ish-American war throughout the United
States offers of commissions in the Chinese
Ing with much success. Since the 18th of
May Mr.. Campbell has received two COM
munications from General English, and ex-
poets TO hear again from him within a
few days.
The first letter came unexpectedly and in
the form of an announcement stating that
Mr. Campbell had been placed upon the
roster of the proposed reform army as a
major of infantry. adding that subsequent
ly the position offered might be even of a
higher rank Soon afterward another let
ter came offering a commission which Mr..
Campbell feels he will accept.
Il do not feel that l care to state just
what the position offered me is at this
time said Mr.. Campbell to Journal re-
porter. but / may say that it is of suf-
hclent Importance TO justify me in accept
ing IL. / do not know General English
good faith, and that the offer is bona fide.
l will confess that il looks good 10 me, and
that should it all turn out as ! anticipa >
l Will bly, accept. During the next
few years China will offer many induce
ments for Americans both in a military
and commercial way. 1 look upon it as a
hne opportunity TO gain valuable expert
ence. and TO benefit in many other ways"
1t is understood that the commissions
are being offered only TO officers of the
Spanish-American war, since the United
States authorities would not permit offers
to be made TO members of the regular
army. General English is conducting his
correspondence in very Dusiness-like
way, and inspires confidence by the tone
of his communications. 1t is stated that
kilograms to this city will already aggre-
gate from SIS 20 go. This fact is signifi-
cant, and is evidence that a large
amount of money is being expended in
communication with the many other cities
throughout the United States. The fact
that denials have been entered regarding
the proposed infusion of American spirit
does not mean much in Mr.. Campbell's s
opinion. IF IL is not true" he said 'it
would be easy matter for the Chinese
minister to put a stop TO it, 1t is known
TO him, and II the offers which are being
made were anything but what they purport
to be, his protest would soon end the mat

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

MARTINSViLLE. Ind. May 22.-Ignoring
with a good-natured laugh the pleadings of
his wife. Scott Gregory, skilled employe
at the Davis eocperage factory in this city,
went fishing this morning, and a few hours
later was instantly killed while dynamiting
fish in White river, near Paragon. He was
literally blown to pieces. both hands and
parts of both aegs and portion of his head
being blown away.
The unfortunate man and John Suter a.
near neighbof. arose early and were seen
driving TO the river together. The next
heard from them was about IL o'clock, when
the news was telephoned that Gregory was
dead from a premature explosion of dyna-
mite. Suter had gone down the river a
few hundred yards to gather up the FISH,
II is thought as he says he was that dis
tance away. when he heard the explosion
and heard the death cry of Gregory. II is
supposed from! the nature of the dead mans
injuries that he was STOPPING and perhaps
placing the cap. just before throwing the
dynamite into the river He was a son Of
Mr. and Mrs. NJ w. Gregory. of South
Main street. this city, and had been resi-
dent here all his life. He leaves a widow
and three-year-old boy. The young wife Of
Gregory. having knowledge of the intended
use OF dynamite, begged him not +, go to
the river.

Mr.. Bryan and Boiling.

Mr.. Bryan, replying to a correspondent
on the subject of boiling. declines to 1ndi-
cate outright at this time his action as to
the St. Louis nominee and platform. He
says:
Because eastern democrats refuse to
make promises and assert their right to in
dependent action after the convention, their
opinions are now being consulted, while it
is not thought necessary to consult those
who .vociferously announce that neither
their convictions nor their interests need be
considered. but that they can be depended
upon to change their opinions
This is both neat and suggestive, but 1t
takes account only of men who when they
refuse to change their opinions openly OPP
pose those who have made such a demand
of them. How about men who find it pos
sible to support their party even when OPP
posed to everything Of Importance for
which 1t stands. and while wishing 1t de-
feat at the polls? May we assume that Mr.
Bryan has no use for those who are merely
regular and that nothing may be expected
of him on that score?

Kin Chou Captured.

The capture of Kin Chou by the Japanese.
chiehy by means of artillery indicates that
the siege of Port Arthur is not going to be
conducted by grand assaults such as the
Russian unconfirmed dispatches have lately
been suggesting as having actually taken
place with heavy Japanese losses The
move against Kin Chou is the first de-
cisive step in the closing of the lines around
the beleaguered stronghold. The town in
described In the dispatches as the kew to
the whole situation on the southern end of
the peninsula. 1t is at narrow point in
the promontory and close to ~Dalny. By
virtue of the configuration of the country
the Japanese. occupying Kin Chou, com
mand the strategic approaches to the great
er objective to the south, and Dalny be-
comes seriously endangered, especially in
view of its helplessness in the face of a sea
attack. All that seems now to save the
Russians from the immediate loss of Dalny
Is the caution and elaboration with which
the Japanese have lately been occupying
the waters of Talienwan bay. where they
recently lost some small craft by mines.
The situation in eastern Manchuria re-
mains virtually unchanged. General Ku-
roh Is evidently not engaging in any grand
maneuvers. being occupied, it would seem
from such trustworthy reports as have
come through in bringing up provisions
and strengthening his base at Feng Wang
Cheng. Nor is there evidence of an inten-
ton on the part of General Kuropatkin to
send troops south to harass the Japanese
engaged in besieging Port Arthur. To do
this would expose the relieving column to
a flank attack from Feng Wang Cheng. 1t
seems clear that Russia has abandoned
Port Arthur to. its fate. perhaps trusting
that while the siege OF that point continues
the northern Japanese army will not I'M
dertake decisive moves. thus giving Kuro-
patkin time to concentrate his forces and
prepare for an aggressive campaign.
