Springfield, ILL.,, July 31.-In a riot
in the Springfield city council Satur-
day night one alderman was kidnap-
ped and another was struck several
blows in the face and body, the meet
ing was adjourned under the mayors
gavel and the lights turned out by the
mayor, and policemen cleared the
hall and drew revolvers on the alder
men.
young lawyer named Lawler was
arrested and taken to the city prison
and Dcked up without charge or pro-
vocation. The aldermen held a rump
session following the riot and they
transacted business in the office of
one of their members
A heated controversy arose over the
letting of the contract for the lighting
of the city. Nothing like it has ever
been witnessed in Springfield, used as
it is to riotous scenes in legislative and
city affairs. The city streets have
been lighted for several months under
a monthly extension of an old con-
tract with the City Utilities company.
which has been operating the city's
own plant. The last extension expires
at midnight Sunday and the fight was
not over at midnight tonight.

Washington, July 31.-The state de-
partment is watching closely the in
dividual efforts of Chinese merchants
to put this government in a hole by
the boycott of banking corporations
and other lines of business. No Off
cial opinion is yet expressed publicly
by the department, but the absolute
official opinion is that If China would
officially indorse the action of certain
organizations in Hongkong and else
where, then this government would
be obliged to. take a stand.
II can be stated on authority that
the United States will not allow the
merchants of a few cities in China to
bully it into acquiescing with an IRA
tional demand for the better treat
ment of Chinese interests in this coun-
try even though the secretary of war,
while acting as secretary of state. said
in a public speech that the Chinese
exclusion laws were harshly enforced
against the Chinese. II is admitted
here privately that Mr.. Taft made a
mistake in two regards.
First he did not take into account
lllt iluIllbtI VI llduuulelll OHluSsc du-
missions known to the department of
Secretary Metcalf: second. he did not
specify one case in which the law had
been construed unjustly agains. a sin
ge Chinese.
There is the best of reason for stat
ing that Secretary Taft after his visit
to the east. and especially to Manila,
is expected to bring back with him
some reasons or at least excuses for
his statements in which he will be
combatted before congress by Secre-
tary Metcalf, by Mr.. F. p. Sargent,
commissioner general of immigration
and by the facts known to this gov
ernment. The issue between Taft and
the anti-Chinese element has been
only half made up. His answer is
awaited.

China Has Claims.

Berlin. July 31.-The Lokal An
zeiger prints an interview with a prom
inent Chinese diplomatist. evidently
the Chinese minister at Berlin. who
says that the dowager empress and
the emperor have sent a circular let
ter to viceroys and governors and to
Chinese ministers abroad, asking them
20 state fully thelr views as to what
attitude China should take in the set
tlement of the Manchurian question.
The diplomatist further states that
China, In determining what indemnity
to demand from Russia. will include
not only the reduction in public rev.
enues during the war. but a sum suf-
ficient to cover damages suffered
through the years OF illegal occupation
of that country. He assumes that ia
pan will keep her word and hand over
Manchuria to China. but thinks It will
be impossible for China to install the
old form of government there since
the improvements the Russians and
japanese have introduced make a
modern system of administration nee
essary. The diplomatist concludes:
China will no longer play the role
of a mere spectator but will assert
its claims with energy In the Ports
mouth negotiations, and interesting
developments will certainly follow"

Cinnamon Organizing.

Seattle, July 31.-Chinamen in all
parts of the world have been banded
together for the purpose of raising a
fund to fight the Chinese exclusion
law of the United States. This infor-
nation was conveyed by Oriental ad-
vices received by the Wa Chong COM
pany, the leading Chinese rirm in Sc
attle today. No details are mentioned
as to the amount the local Celestials
will be asked to contribute. but the
statement is made at the Wa Chong
store that no matter what the amount
asked is. 1t can be raised in day.
All the funds gathered will be for
warded to an association recently
formed in China and by it disbursed.
Agents of thi association, it is stated,
are expected to arrive in the United
States in a few weeks and will be dis
tributed from san Francisco. Portland
and Seattle.
Local Cinnamon say they have been
aware of the movement for some time
and declare that the present boycott
by the laboring element of China
against the United States is a part of
the original plan.

for the present mt nth. This decrease
of about s3,5O0,OOO in the deficit for
this month as compared with that for
July, 1904, is accounted. for by the
material increase in the receipts. par
ticularly from customs. and a slight
decrease in expenditures. The returns
from customs alone will exceed those
for July last year by about $4,000, 900.
These from internal revenue sources
will probably exceed those of n year
ago by about 100000. The receipts

was a similar payment from this
company last July. The treasury Of
ficiais regard the showing this month
with satisfaction and point to the s2,-

Indianapolis, Ind, July 31.-Noble
]. Dilday, who since 1909, has been
general manager for Indiana of the
Equitable Life Assurance society, has
forwarded his resignation to Paul
Morton, president of the society.
Mr.. Dilday gave as reasons for his
resignation that the business of the
Equitable in Indiana has suffered and
that he is not in favor with G.. E. Tar
bell, second vice-president of the COM
pany. In closing Dilday said he re-

ership.


Boston, July 31.-Several thousand
persons this afternoon heard Mayor
Edward r. Dunno, of Chicago, deliver
an address on Municipal Ownership"
at the annual outing of the Tammany
club, a democratic organization in
West Roxbury.
The speaker vigorously defended
himself against statements which had
been published that he had recanted
his faith in municipal ownership, say
ing:
II am glad to state to you that the
cause of municipal ownership is as
ardently espoused by me today as it
has been for several years past and
that l am as confident of its ultimate
consummation as 1 have ever been at
any time in my life.
81 confidently predict from what
know of the people of Chicago that
within a very short time it will have
the proud distinction of being the first
city in the United States to be the
owner of its own street car system
and when once that great city has
proved that municipaliZation of street
car plants is an assured success it will
mean that hundreds of other Ameri-
can cities will follow in her wake and
accomplish an economic revolution to
the great advantage of the people of
this country"
