of another outbreak of the feud of the
Tongs which has made Chinatown the
scene of much bloodshed recently, Hop

in Hop Lees laundry. Patrolman
Dresser passed the place about O'Clock
and noticed crowd of Celestials stand
ing in front of the place. They were
orderly, however, and he did not inter-
fere with them. He waited around a
corner, where he was reinforced by
Patrolman Blade to see what mischief
the Chinese contemplated. The officers
were given signal by citizen that
trouble was afoot in the laundry. They
rushed into the building where they found
two of the men holding Hop Lee against
the wall while another Chinaman was
using huge meat cleaver on the help
less laundryman. The assailants fled at
the sight of the officers. Dresser chased
two of the men to the roof of the build
ing where he eventually overcame them
by the free use of his night stick after
hard fight in which most Of his clothes
we're torn from his body. Blake, who
pursued Lee. finally caught him on ave-
nue. C. Toy showed fight and Blake
used his stick to such advantage that a
surgeon had to be called to patch up the
Chinaman. At Bellevue it was discov'
cred that Lee had been cut sixteen times
and the doctors say his death is certain.

sentatives, denies emphatically that he
removed Congressman Swanson, candi-
date for governor, from the committee

The commercial value of railway
operating property in the United States,
computed for the year 1904, was Sl1,-
I44. 1852. 600. This is exclusive OF the
physical value of Pullman cars, which Is
estimated at 81 million dollars, and OF
private cars, estimated at ~ million dol
lars. This stupendous total presents the
results of an extended inquiry in regard
to the commercial value of railway operat-
ing property in the United States, con-
Quoted by the Bureau of Census, with
the cooperation of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. By commercial
value is meant the estimate placed upon
the worth property is regarded as a bust
ness proposition-tbat is, the market
value. Among the States, Pennsylvania
ranks first in the commercial value OF
railway operating property, with total
of 81 400, COS, 900; New York is second,
with 1898. 800, 600, which is exclusive OF
the Jersey City ferries of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad system; Illinois is third,
with $SO5, O57, 900; Ohio fourth, with
S6S9, 797, 600.
The State Department has cabled in
structions to consular officers in China
TO make detailed reports of the boycott
situation throughout the empire. More
and more importance is being attached
to the Chinese embargo on American
goods, and there is good reason to be-
!ieve that upon the information now be-
ing obtained this government will take
active measures to quell the anti-Ameri-
can agitation IN the Celestial Empire.
While informal exchanges on the boy
colt have taken place between the State
Department here and the foreign office
at Pekin and an order was issued from
Pekin to viceroys instructing them tc
prevent the boycott, practically nothing
has been done by Chinese officials.

were called into requisition. Gently
but with an irresistible power they start

strong sweep of her appraised arm Miss
HOch struck the steel PROV a resounding
blow with the gold incased bottle OF

the present time the members of the
CITY democratic committee have not re-
ceived a single red cent to help them re-
duce the assessment fees of the candi-
dates in the coming primary of August

is made despite the fact that the COM
mittee called on the public some weeks
ago through the newspapers to extend a
helping hand" This is day of practi-
cal politics and the impression prevails
that those who dance must pay the piper.

ElOpers Intercepted.

Nora Carter, seventeen years of age,
and a young man named Pierre Taulelle,
who had eloped from Staunton, we're ar
rested in Washington last night on a
telegram from Stanton. Miss Carter
was sent to the House of Detention with
her young girl friend who had come with
her from Stanton, and they will remain
there until an officer comes from Staun-
ton for them. Miss Carter is an orphan
and lived at the home of her guardian.
Several months ago she met Mr.. Tau
lelle, who lives in Washington, and at
once a friendship sprang up which soon
deyelopei into love and ended in the elope-
ment. 1t is understood the guardian
was bitterly opposed to his ward marry
ing, claiming that she was too young.

INa remarkable speech delivered at
Chautaugua, n. Y, yesterday President
Roosevelt made the statement that unless
the trusts submitted to reasonable federal
supervision, they would lay themselves
open to more drastic action by the gov
eminent. He pointed to the heads OF
the beef trust as types of arrogant law
breakers, who are openly defying the
statutes, and in vigorous way warned
them that the time was past for leniency.
But the trusts have gotten hardened to
such threats and pay little attention to
them. Action is what is needed.

press purpose of finally removing from
the minds of all liberals the idea that the
fundamental law ofsupremacy of autOcra-

taken to make clear that the function of
