The deadly base ball got it's work in
on Jesse Franklin last Monday. Frank
lin is a member of the Oath Infantry,
stationed at Fort Harrison and was
pitcher of the Champion Soldier team.
In a game played Monday he was hit
in the neck by ball and died in a
few moments. Seems little odd for
a soldier to get killed by other than
pistol, rifle or cannon ball.

SLUGGERS TORTURE CHAMBER
Man who Dehed Union Pickets Found
I'm State of Collapse After Three
Weeks Absence.

CHICAGO, Aug 1.-Apparent evidence
that labor sluggers maintain in Chi
cago a place where systematic torture is
meted out TO those who incur the dis
pleasure of the sluggers has just come to
light in the strange case of William N.
Wilder. Wilder was formerly an army
officer, and at the time of the recent team
sters strike was claim agent for Chi
cago Package Express company. He dis
appeared July g., was held captive for three
weeks. and was then set at liberty, half
starved and so dazed that he has not been
able to give a coherent account of his cap
tivity. He was found by a friend wander
ing aimlessly about near the Union station
at Canal and Adams streets, and was taken
70 his home at Downers' Grove.
Physicians pronounce his physical and
mental condition such that he may not re-
cover. Much Of the time he raves wildly,
and as though still under torture, begs for
mercy. Marks all over his body show that
he had been bound with heavy cords. over
500 he is known to have had on his person
is gone.
Wilder Is an Enslshman, who saw ser
vice In the American army in Cuba and the
Philippines and held a commission as a
4 cond lieutenant in the regular army. He
Is bold. outspoken fellow of 81 years, who
gloried in his physical ability TO take care
OF himself and ~dehed pickets and sluggers
to intimidate him.

CzAR MEETS HIS ADVISERS
Council of Ministers L. Now Confer
ring on Subject of National
Assembly.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1.-The council
OF ministers assembled at Peterhof this
afternoon, under the presidency OF the en-
peror. to arrange a project for a national
assembly. The meeting was preceded by
a te deum. The ministers will reside at
Peterhof during the discussion, which is
expected to occupy several sessions.
Those present numbered forty-four, in
Guiding Grand Dukes Alexis, Vladimir
Alexander Michaeovitch and Nicholas
Nicholaievitch all the ministers, Senators
Borbrinsky, shlrinski and Naryshkn. and
Prof. Kljutshewaski and Prof. Pavloff Of
Moscow, nearly all of whom are members
of the council OF the empire. A bureau OF
the council has taken over from the COM
httee Of ministers the work Of celebrating
a project for the convocation of the ma
tonal assembly. The project Is to be
thoroughly recast and OF a more liberal
form. When complete It will have little in
common with the scheme presented by
Minister of the Interior Bouligin. The
council will not touch upon the question OF
principle. combining itself to details on which
there are differences of opinion.
After five hours of discussion over the
details of the project an adjournment was
taken at o'clock, the members of the
council returning to st. Petersburg.

Welcome to Japan.

from Those of the
officials.

NAGASAKI, Aug. 1.-THE steamer Mans
churia, with the Taft party on board,
sailed at Z o'clock this evening During
the afternoon Secretary Taft and Miss
Alice Roosevelt attended an outdoor fete
at Ouswa park given by the governor.
There was a large concourse of japanese
and foreigners and hearty reception was
given the visitors Miss Roosevelt was
presented with a large bouquet by the
Ladies' Patriotic society. Before the de
parture Of the party Secretary Taft said
to representative of the Associated Press:
We were wholly unprepared for the en-
thusiasttc reception which we have had at
the hands Of the Japanese government and
people. We feel OF course. that this Is due
TO the kindly feeling Of the emperor toward
the American government and people, but
we are assured from public manifestations
that the official and popular Wills are in ac-
cord. During our visit to Toxic grand en-
tertainments were given in our honor and
for our enjoyment and the interesting visit
to hyotO, the ancient capital, where we
saw evidences of the wonderful genius and
skill of japanese artists and artisans was
fitting climax.
During our stay we were accompanied by
NJ. Nagasak and his estimable wife and
also the Count and Countess Terashima
from Toxic, who looked after the interests
of the entire part of eighty-three with the
degree of foresight, care and kindly pa
tience that enabled them to carry through
the long program of functions during the
trip of 300 miles from Toxic TO Kobe with
out hitch at any Juncture.
The party had a fine trip through the In
land sea and there was a demonstration of
fireworks from launches and sampans when
1t reached the Straits OF Shmonoseki.
