TO HAVE FAIR TREATMENT
President Roosevelt Takes Steps to
Insure It to Chinese Exempt
from immigration Laws.

Washington, June 26.-By direction
of President Roosevelt, action has. been
taken by the administration which not
only will facilitate the landing in this
country of Chinese of the exempt
classes, but will also eliminate from
the emigration bureau such admins
trative features as have been the sub
ject of criticism by Chinese. 1t is line
declared intention Of the president to
see that Chinese merchants, travellers,
students and others of the exempt
classes shall have the same courtesy
shown them by officers of the immigra-
ton bureau as is accorded to citizens
of the most favored nation. IE~
Representations have been made to
the president that, in view of alleged
harsh treatment accorded to many Chi
nese seeking a landing in the United
States the commercial guilds Of China
have determined to institute a boycott
on American manufactures. The$rcp
reservations, backed by the authority
of the American Asiatic society and
commercial bodies throughout the
country, induced the president to make
an investigation of the situation with
a view to remedying the evils COM
planned of, if they were found to exist.
In addition to the presidents orders,
Secretary Metcalf has issued instruc-
lions to the immigration officers which,
it is believed, will remedy the difficulty
heretofore complained of by the Chi
nese government and individuals. 1t
is anticipated that the prompt action
taken by this government to meet the
objections made by the Chinese will
eliminate the possibility of serious
trade difficulties between China and the
manufacturers of this country.

Rogers, the condemned murderess,
was signed Thursday by Gov. Charles
J. Bell, and for the third time the wo-
man who was to have been hanged at
Windsor to-day for killing her husband
has been saved through the operation
of the governors power of staying
the execution. Thursdays reprieve
was granted in order that the case
may be carried to the supreme court
Of the United States on constitutional
questions, which were raised at a
hearing before Judge Hoyt H. Wheel
er, sitting as justice of the United
States circuit court. Mrs. Rogers at
torneys petitioned for her release on
a writ of habeas corpus. The court
declined to grant the petition, but sug-
gested that the points of law raised
by the petitioner were such as to be
passed upon by the supreme court of
the country. The refusal of the judge
to grant the writ was at once followed
by the fling of an appeal. Judge
Wheeler thereupon announced that he
would render his decision on the Ques-
ton of appeal late in the afternoon, in
order to give Gov. Bell an opportunity
to reprieve Mrs. Rogers. Thursday az
ternoon Judge Wheeler received tele-
graphic message from Gov. Bell at
White River Junction announcing that
Mrs. Rogers had been reprieved. The
judge at once signed the paper which
gave to- Mrs. Rogers the legal right to
have her case heard by the supreme
court of the United States.

BOWEN BUSTED.
President Directs Dismissal from
Diplomatic Service Of American
Minister to Venezuela.

Washington, June 21.-The dismissal
of Herbert w. Bowen, for some years
United States minister to Venezuela,
and the exoneration of Assistant Secre-
tary of State Francis B. LOOMS, of
the allegations brought against him by
Mr.. Bowen, are the outcome Of the
Loomis-Bowen controversy which has
attracted wide attention for many
months past. This disposition of the
case is made by President Roosevelt in
letter addressed to Secretary Taft,
made public Tuesday night, approving
Mr.. Taft's report on his findings and
conclusions in the case. The president
scathingly arraigns Minister Bowen. de-
claring that his conduct is Especially
reprehensible," that Mr.. Bowen asked
one of his witnesses to enter the en-
ploy of a certain company for the pur
pose lin plain words, of stealing doc
uments which he hoped might incrim-
mate Mr.. LOOMS, and that Mr.. Bowen
has "evidently for many months, in
deed for the last two years, devoted
himself" to hunting up scandal land
gossip until it became a mOnOmania
and caused him ito show complete!dis-
loyalty" to the country he repre-
scented. XII
The president says he had hoped to
promote Mr.. Bowen, as during much of
his service he had done good work, but
that his, usefulness in the diplomatic
service i'd now at an end. The president
adds that he would direct that Mr.. Bow
ems resignation be requested, but for
his statement that he would consider
resignation an admission of misconduct
and the dismissal is therefore ordered.

THE SCENE OF ANOTHER
GREAT HORROR.

to ascertain the- exact number of the
victims, estimates place the number of
victims as high as 1000. OF these, 800
strikers and GO troops were killed.
Vengeance Cause of Rioting.
The troubles here were initiated by
the social democrats and Jewish bund,
who determined to avenge their COM
rades killed in the rioting on Wednes-
day.
Thursday, the feast of Corpus Christi
passed off quietly, but during the night
workmen attacked the patrols. In this
sacks were killed. One of the latter
was shot by girl of 13 years.
At dawn Friday commenced a day
of terror, given up to bloodshed. An
archy and fierce street fighting pre-
vailed all day. Two bombs were
thrown from the crowd into the bar
racks, killing or wounding 20 soldiers.
This started the shedding OF blood,
which continued until after nightfall
All the factory hands then struck
and flocked into the streets. Cossacks,
dragons and infantry charged the
dense, surging mobs time after time
firing volley after volley into the SER
ried mass. The rioters later replied
with revolvers, while their comrades
on roofs and in windows Joined in the
fusillade. Some dashed vitriol from
points of vantage upon the troopers in
the streets below. The burning fluid
drove it's victims into frenzy and led
to scenes of terrible character.
Dead Scattered About Streets.
The dead were carted off to the
cemeteries in military wagons, the
troops acting as undertakers. But Sat-
urday morning many dead and wound
ed were still lying in the streets and
courtyards. The casualties Saturday
add IS killed or wounded to Fridays
appalling total.
Many Isolated Attacks.
The most serious phase of the fight
ing between the military and strikers
is at an end, but there are, still isolat-
ed attacks in the suburbs. At Baluty
Sunday morning Cossacks attacked a
Jewish family of five persons who
were driving in a cab to the railway
station and shot and killed all, includ-
ing the cabman. At Pabjanice, near
LODI, workmen attacked two police
men and shot and killed one aud
wounded the other. There is general

cerebro-spinal meningitis, otherwise
spotted fever, is not by any means a
newly discovered disease, but has
been exclusively studied for over go
years. In 1887 the malady broke out
at Bayonne among two regiments OF
the line, which, being removed to 9th
or garrisons, spread the epidemic.
Spotted fever is of short duration, and
dies down on the return Of sunshine
and warmth.
