SEVEN MEN SHOT.
Two of the Wounded Men May
Not Live.
COnstabIes Organized "a Posse of EitI.
zens and Attempted to Close Up
Pool Room AT Madison,
II.-A Pitched Dat
tie Follows.

st. Louis, Feb. 20.-In an effort to
close up pool room that has for Il
long time operated in the outskirts
of Madison, ILL.,, across the river from
st. Louis, three constables, augment
ed by posse of citizens, and bearing
warrants for the arrest of six men
connected with the pool room, pre-
cipitated riot yesterday which re-
suited i'll the shooting of seven men.
Two may die.
Warrants had been sworn out be-
fore Justice of the Peace Isenmeyer,
of Granite City, adjoining Madison,
and placed in the hands of Consta BILE
John Glass and two other constables
for the arrest of Whitefield Brooks
and Eugene Wall, of Granite City. and
Thomas Riley, Charles Greenfield,
Thomas Manley and Martin Johns, of
st. Louis, charging them with being
connected with the pool room. After
the failure of the Madison county
grand jury, which recently investi-
gated the pool room, to return in
dictments citizens took the matter in
hand with the intention of having the
pool room closed.
Several days ago warrants were is
sued for State Senator David Nelson,
of Missouri, charging him with be-
ing pool seller, and Victor Schuler,
charging him with conducting the
pool room and being custodian of the
funds. Schuler was arrested Thurs
day and gave bond of $500 pending Il
hearing. The additional warrants
were sworn out Friday and three con-
stables appeared at the pool room to
serve them. Two policemen We're
within and declared they had arrest
ed the operators of the pool room
and were guarding them. Betting
was going on as usual at the time.
The constables were ordered to leave
the premises, which they did after
argument.
Proceeding through the neighbor-
hood for the next half hour the con-
stables organized a posse of armed
citizens numbering about 30 persons.
The constables and posse then re-
turned to the pool room and entered.
They were at once ordered out and
the doors were ordered locked. The
posse demurred and words followed.
One posse man, it is stated. pointed u
shotgun at Policeman McCambridge,
who fired a revolver into the ceiling.
Firing then became general. The po-
lceman was shot through the body.
The crowd in the pool room scattered
hurriedly, many fleeing into a wait
ing Illinois Central train until it be-
came packed. When the fusilade was
over the constables and posse had
possession.

Paris, Feb. 19.-An eminent mill
tary authority connected with one of

this would not compel either the
abandonment or the surrender of the
fortress with its men and material.

CATION here received an official dis
patch from Toxic last night saying
it was not true that any Japanese
vessels had been destroyed, so far,
in any of the various naval engage

pairs had already been made.
This message also denies the re-
port that the Japanese were driven
from the neighborhood of Kin-Chau

London, Feb. 16.-The voluminous
dispa tches from the far east publish
ed here this morning are again char
acterized by absence of real light on
the situation. Numerous uncontirm-
ed and conflicting rumors are given,
and among them is a report of an
other engagement at Port Arthur n
which the Russians lost eight vessels
sunk and ten captured.

censorship imposed here upon all
news from the far east completely
masks the movements OF Russian
troops and the plans of those in
command, but what is being done is
evidently satisfactory to the authori-
ties here, as they manifest the ut
most confidence that when the proper
time arrives the enemy Will be crush
ed. They say that the preliminary
sea victories of the japanese will
then be speedily forgotten. Russia
was taken unawares at the outset
and some little time will be required
to complete the mobilization of Rus
sian troops.
A dispatch received here from Port
Arthur dated February II says that
in the action off that port on Febru-
airy ii the Russian volunteer feet
steamer Kherson was struck by 12-

Berlin, Feb. 1S.-The admiralty
here has received confirmation of the
reports that japanese landing opera
tions on a vast scale are taking
place on both of Korea's northern
coasts and it is assumed by the Ger
man authorities that Japan will he
ready by early spring for Il forward
land movement supported by proper
ly equipped bases. Possibly 100000
men will be in the field before a col,
lision takes place with the Russians
in force.
st. Petersburg, Feb. ia long
official dispatch from Viceroy Alexieh
was given out yesterday, recounting
details of the fight of February {
at Port Arthur. 1t says it is
known that a number of japanese
ships suffered severely, which ac
counts for their not following up the
attack.
After giving a list OF the ships en-
gagged, with the names of their com
manders, Admiral Alexieff says:
"Our losses were: OF the squad
ron-tive officers wounded, IA mel
killed and 90 men wounded.

after skirmish in which $50 Japan
ese were taken prisoners, and de-
clares that the Japanese made no at
tempt to land at Pigeon Bay.
Toxic, Feb. 20.-The response of
Japan to the request of China for II
statement of its position in regard
to the neutrality of the latter coun-
try was made public Friday. Its text
is as follows:
The imperial government, desiring
to avoid as far as possible a disturb
ance of the peaceful condition of af-
fairs which prevails in China, will in
all parts of Chinese territory except
ing the regions now occupied by Rus
sia, respect the neutrality of China
sa long as Russia does the same.
"Furthermore, the rights of Chi
nese officials and inhabitants within
the zone of military operations will
be fully protected by the imperial
forces, so far as military necessity
permits. In the event, however, that
they should extend aid to the enemy
of Japan, the imperial government
reserve to themselves the right to
take such action as the circumstances
require"
1t says in conclusion that the war
is not being waged by the Japanese
for the purpose of conquest, but sole
ly in defense of her legitimate inter-
ests, and consequently the imperial
government has no intention to ac-
quire territory at the expense of
China as a result of the conflict.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 2O.-War Min
ister Kuropatllin, who is going to the
far east, will be appointed comman-
der-in-chicf of the army operations

train which is expected to reach Port
Arthur in ten days, is to be comman-
der-in-chief of the navy.
The Russian government yesterday
abolished the censorship on all news
and other kilograms going abroad.
The international censorship is to
be retained, but foreign dispatches
are to be entirely free. Inasmuch as
state of war exists, telegrams
from the theatre of hostilities will
be subject to the same kind of mill
tary censorship enforced in all coun-
tries under similar circumstances.
Paris, Feb. 2O.--A representative of
the Matin who has reached the cen
ter of the Russian military concen-
tration at Harbin after great hard
ships, due to the trans-Siberian rail-
way trains being crowded with thou
sands of soldiers, in dispatch from
Harbin confirms the announcement
! that that place will be the main base
| of the Russian land operations. Thus
! far the base has succeeded in main
tanning its communication with Port
| Arthur. The concentration of
troops proceeds Systematically and
/ provision has been made for the
speedy arrival of 10000 men from
Moscow, Kieff and Warsaw. Before
12 days shall have elapsed the Rus
slams will have an army of ,OOO
men in Manchuria.
