BOYCOTT NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR KILLING MISSIONARIES

WASHINGTON - No boycott, no
race feeling, but a mere personal quar-
rel was the cause of the death of the
five American Presbyterian mission
aries recently at Lienchow, in China,
according to the report made to Secre-
tary Root by Sir Chentung Liang
Cheng, the Chinese minister here
The minister had with him when he
came to the state department a copy
of long cablegram from the viceroy
of Kwang Tung and Kwangsi bearing
on this subject. The vceroy reported
that DR.. Machle and Miss Patterson,
two of the missionaries who escaped
massacre by reason of their temper
airy absence from Lienchow, had just
reached Canton under a strong Chi
nese guard. According to Dr. Machle,
and his Investigations were shared in
by the American consul's agent, the
anti-American boycott had nothing to
do with .he tragedy.

TWO BIG RANGERS.
Plead Guilty of illegally Fencing Pub
lie Land.

OMAHA-Bartlett Richards and w.
G.. Comstock of Ellsworth, extensive
cattle owners of Sheridan county, vol
UNFAIRLY withdrew their pleas of not
guilty of Illegally fencing public
lands and entered plea of guilty.
through their attorney, II. S. Hall Of
Omaha and were fined $500 each and
sentenced by Judge Munger to remain
in the custody of the United States
Marshal for six hours and each to pay
onehalf the costs of the trial, which
will closely approximate $500.
Richards and Comstock we're jointly
charged with illegally fencing $4,000
acres of public lands for ranch and
cattle purposes in Sheridan county. An
indictment was returned against them
by the federal grand Jury in November,
1904, and an additional indictment at
the May term of the federal grand
jury in 1905. The first indictment
charged them with Illegally fencing,
maintaining and controlling 100000
acres of public land. Those counts Of
the indictments charging the defend
ants as being part owners and agents
of certain of the fences described as
unlawful were quashed, but were sus-
tanned as to such sections of the fences
of which they were owners, and also
the counts which charged them with
wrongfully asserting ownership and
exclusive occupancy of the illegally
enclosed government lands. The
counts to which they pleaded guilty
were numbers two and three of the
first; and numbers two, three and five
of the second indictment.
In entering the plea of guilty, Mr..
Hall said for his clients:
1T is our intention to comply with
the law. We are removing the fences
as rapidly as we can, but such as may
remain, we have nothing at all to do
with. Wherever the government shows
us that we have an unlawful fence we
will remove it,"
United States District Attorney Bax-
ter said
II believe the defendants will do all
they have said they will do. They
appear to be acting in good faith II
there is any further dispute as to any
particular fence that will be matter
for further action"
Both Bartlett Richards and w. G..
Comstock were in court when sentence
was passed and made immediate ar
rangements to pay the fine and sur
rendered themselves to the custody of
United States Marshal Mathews for
the six hours.

THE SQUARE DEAL" PHRASE
BEING WORKED VIGOROUSLY

WASHINGTON-The words of the
president, square DEAL" are being
worked vigorously by many persons
who have old claims or requests upon
the government. Many of the cases
which are known in the departments
as "old slugs," because of the many
times they have been considered and
rejected, have again been presented
with a demand for square deal"
An officer of the navy, to whom all
such cases in the war department are
referred for report, says that all these
claims for reinstatement in the service
or for advanced retrial rank or claims
for property taken, all of which have
heretofore been passed upon and de-
cided adversely to the claimant, set
out that what they ask now is a
square deal" and many of them in
sist that their requests be presented to
the president.

FOR EIGHT HOURS
ALSO EQUAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN
IN ELECTIONS.
ENFORCEMENT OF CHINESE LAWS
This Is the Stand Taken by the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor in Its Con.
Vention Now Being Held in Pitts
burg, Pa.

PITTSBURG. PA determined
stand was taken for the enforcement
TO the letter of the Chinese laws of
the country; the legalizing of the
eight-hour work day in all work OF the
government; the abolition Of convict
labor where it completes with union
manufactured goods and the renewal
of the agitation for the alteration of
the Injunction laws of the country by
the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor in its annual re-
port. which was submitted at the SEES
sion of the convention in Old City
hall
The report was voluminous and con-
sumed the greater portion of the pro-
ceedings
The council voiced the sentiments
of the organization as being opposed
to the present immigration laws as APP
piled to all classes of aliens. Espe-
cial stress was laid upon the need for
better physical examinations of immi-
grants and an investigation was asked
from the government into the many
reports and rumors Of assisted immi-
grafton.
The report took the national admin
istration to task for its failure to en-
force the eight-hour law in all govern
ment work, and plea was made for
every state federation organization
Immediately to institute a campaign
for the establishment in their respec-
tive states of the eight-hour law.
A popular chord was struck when
First Vice President James Duncan,
who was reading the report made a
ringing appeal for equal rights in all
elections for women. The report cited
the four states in the country which
now grants equal rights to women and
predicted the publication of the ballot
when universal suffrage was granted.
In the matter of a change in the
system of electing all officials of the
state and national government the
council went into detail in explaining
The workings of the initiative and ref
officials.
The seating of G. p. Shea, president
Of the Transfers union of Chicago, as
q delegate today Is looked upon by
the International Association of Steam
Filters as big card for them in their
fight for federation charter, as Shea,
who has been joined by other dele
gates, will help them in the conven-
ton.

WANT MORE MEN
WHAT THE CHIEF OF ARTILLERY
HAS TO OFFER.
NOT SATISFIED WITH DEFENSES
He Would Have the Field Artillery
Organized on the Basis of Not Less
Than Six Batteries to a Regiment.

WASHINGTON-Ge Samuel NJ.
Mills chief of artillery, says that for
manning the coast defenses of the
United States a force consisting of l.
754 officers and 1888 enlisted men is
needed, while the corps has at pres
ent only 525 ofTicehs and 1874 men.
He also estimated that the cost of in
stallation of fire control equipment for
coast artillery will be S7000,000. Fol
lowing the advice contained in a let
ter of President Roosevelt to the Sec
rotary of war, dated March 10, 1905, in
which the president designated nine
specific subjects relative to the organ
ization and training of the artillery
arm of the service, the annual report
of General Mills makes the following
recommendations
The separation of the coast and field
artillery; provision for submarine mine
defense; an increase of the coast ar
tillery for gun defense; the proper or
ganization of the coast artillery; ade-
quate pay for technically skilled en-
listed men of the artillery; an in
organization for promotion of artillery
officers of all grades; increased APP
preparations for target practice by both
branches of the artillery.
General Mills says that of the 1875
companies of coast artillery, forty
seven are without captains and thirty
one without the prescribed lieutenants.
These officers are absent on various
duties. He says that it is important
that the coast artillery companies
should be commanded by captains
General Mills refers to the joint ex-
ercises of the army and navy which
were held in Chesapeake bay last
summer and says that the value and
interest was greatly increased by rea-
son of the fact that they gave an OPP
portunity to test the methods of fire
control ard other systems adopted by
the coast artillery. He recommends
that joint exercises be recommended
for the year 1907, because such eX-
ercises afford the only opportunity that
the artillery has for drilling and prac-
ticing with complete units" higher
than battery. The joint exercises,
he says, emphasized the Inappropriate
ness of the present company organiza-
ton of the coast artillery, and he rec
ommends that the present company
organization of the coast artillery, and
he recommends that the present COM
pany organization be abolished and
that the present coast artillery be
made to consist OF specified officers
and enlisted men. He also recon-
mends the separation of the field ar
tiIlery be organized in regiments of
six batteries each, with an increase
of eighteen in the present number of
| field batteries.

Much Less Public Printing.

WASHINGTON - Acting Public
Printer Ricketts, in an interview says:
Judging from the volume of work
now being turned out at the govern
ment printing office economy has
struck the government departments
hard We are now printing about as
much stuff as we did five or six years
ago. The amount has fallen off
greatly within the last three months,
and during my connection with the of
fee has never been at so low a point
as now"

THE RAILROAD BANDITS
ARE FARMER BOYS

PATTONSBURG, Mo.-The sheriffs
of Davies, Harrison and Gentry coun.
ties, attended by posses from each of
there counties, are guarding the woods
around the little village of Bridgeport,
in the northern part of this county,
where it is supposed the four men who
held up the passengers and night
agent at the Gallatin station Monday
are in hiding. 1t is not believed that
the fugutives will make a fight and
the officers do not consider them pro-
fessionals. 1t is believed that the rob-
have been poisoned by trashy novels.

PRAISED BY M'CREARY

WASHINGTON believe that we

ings, at the Raleigh. ut is known as
the Slocum law, and it's essential fea-
ture is local option, under which the
various villages, towns, and cities can

SEA LEVEL CANAL FAVORED.
No Positive Decision Reached as to
Type of Waterway.

WASHINGTON-T full board of
consulting engineers of the Panama
canal had an all-day session and con-
tinued work on the different types of
canal. There seems to be a general
impression that large number of en-
gineers at present favor sea level
canal, but an intimation has been
made that there might be a compro.
mise upon low level lock canal,
which would be very satisfactory to
the canal commission and the admin
istration.
The officers who accompanied Sec
rotary Taft to Panama to investigate
the matter of Notifications for the
canal have not yet made report and
will not until a type of canal is deter
mined. Upon the type of canal will
depend the location of the mouths of
the canal, and no definite plans for
Notifications will be feasible until the
places where the protection will be
needed can be definitely known.

Opposed to Any Alliance.

NEW YORK-Sentiments opposing
anything tending to bringing about an
alliance between the United States and
Great Britain were given expression
at a meeting in Cooper Union under
the auspices of the united Irish So
cieties. Speakers declared that the ar
rival in American waters at this time
of the British squadron under COM
mand of Prince Louis of Battenberg
was not for social courtesies, but was
planned in the interest of an alliance
between the two nations.

viii Fight a Recount.

NEW YORK - Charles II. Knox,
chairman of the Tammany hall law
committee, announced on Sunday that
every step taken by Mr.. Hearst and
the municipal ownership league for a
recount of the votes cast at the recent
election would be bitterly opposed.
Mr.. Knox said that the basis for the
opposition would be the decision of
the court of appeals in 1904, written
by Judge A. B. Parker, now Mayor Nc.
Clellan's senior counsel. This decision
was against the opening Of ballot
boxes.

FEAR LOWER WAGES.
Railroad Employees Protest to the
President.

WASHINGTON-An earnest protest
was made to the president against
proposed freight rate legislation. The
protest was filed by representatives Of
the FIVE great labor organizations CON
nected with rairoading-the engi-
neers, flremen, conductors, switchmen
and trainmen. The members of the
delegation which called on the presi-
dent represented the several organiza-
tons. They pointed out to him that
railroad rate legislation logically
meant the lowering of rates. This,
they contended. will be followed by
a lessening of the earning power of
railroads and consequently by reduc-
ton eventually of the wages of rail
road employees.
The delegation which called on the
president came from twelve different
states and represented all the larger
systems Of railroads

LONDON--A dispatch from st. Pet
ersburg to Reuters Telegram company
says that an imperial manifesto grant
ing land concessions ito the peasants
was issued this morning. BY its terms
the land redemption tax payments
from January IA, 1906, will be reduced
by one-half and from January IA, 1907
the payments will be totally abolished
At the same time the capital OF inc
peasants bank is increased and the
bank is granted additional loan priv.
ileges, with the object of facilitating
to the utmost the purchase of lands
by peasants.
1t is estimated that the amount of
taxation thus lifted from the peasants
by the manifesto will aggregate S4O,-
100000, while the extension of the
field operations of the peasants bank
will enable vast tracts of crown and
private lands gradually to become the
property of the peasants.
ST. PETERSBURG Though the in
dustrial tieup in st. Petersburg yes
terday was even more complete than
It was Wednesday and though no break
has been manifested in the ranks of
the workmen. and strikes have broken
out at Moscow and Reval, the most
important feature of yesterdays de-
velopments was the failure of the
walkout to spread generally outside
| the capital. The movement appar-
emily lacks the contagiousness of the
last great strike, which broke out at
Moscow, and dispatches received from
the industrial centers of Russia up to
! this hour show little inclination on the
part of the workmen to take up cud-
gels in behalf of Poland.
The factory strike at Moscow,
which has assumed considerable pro-
portions, probably $4,000 men being
out has no direct connection with the
st. Petersburg walkout and dispatches
from the old capital say that the rail
road men received the request of the
St Petersburg strike committee cold
ly.
| The whole great network of rail
roads centering at Moscow, except the
st. Petersburg line, is still in opera
ton.
At Reveal the employees of the rail
voad shops struck, but the reason for
the strike is not stated.
At st. Petersburg yesterday passed
with complete order Patrols were
visible in all the industrial quarters
and Cossacks were trOtting up and
down the Neysky prospect among the
swiftly-dashing carriages and sleighs
but the workmen, in obedience to the
orders of the strike committee, kept
generally indoors and did not attempt
demonstrations, so that there was no
occasion for a resort to force to avert
] trouble.

THE NEXT SENATE.
Radical Changes May Occur in its Per.
sonnet

WASHINGTON - Radical changes
will be made in the personnel of the
next senate committee on irrigation
and reclamation of arid lands be-
cause the terms of five of the most
prominent members of the committee
have expired. There are several APP
plications for the coveted places, par
ticularly the craftsmanship.
There is doubt as to who will sue
coed Chairman Bard, Senator Warren,
the acting chairman, is second on the
list, but he is chairman of a more
important committee and evidently
does not desire the place. The third
fourth and fifth places have been filled
by Senators Dietrich, Stewart and
Kearns, who will not be in the next
senate, while the sixth place is held
by Senator Hansbrough, the chairman
of the public lands committee. Aftef
him comes Senator Ankeny, who, his
friends claim, should receive the
craftsmanship. Others, however, are
being urged for the place. First among
these is Senator Carter, of Montana
who, it is understood, has filed his
claim for a place on the committee
and for the Craftsmanship.
To fill the five vacancies various new
senators have been suggested, particu-
larly Senator Burkett, who succeeds
Dietrich; Flint, who succeeds Bard;
Nixon, succeeding Stewart of Nevada;
Sutherland, succeeding Kearns of
Utah. On the democratic side, Senator
Dubois has been suggested to fill the
place of Senator Gibson of Montana.
There will be only two reclamation
states unrepresented-North and South
Dakota-and if Senator German goes
off the committee, it will be composed
entirely of western senator's. Senator
Gamble would probably get Germans
place on the committee.

chauffeur to be ReInstated.

WASHINGTON - Walker Eldridge,
the chauffeur who was dismissed from
the government service for miscon-
duct which came under the personal
observation of President Roosevelt.
will be reinstated in his old position at
the end of two months from the date
of his dismissal. The exercise of lem
iency by President Roosevelt is due to
Eldridge's excellent record in the
Philippines, to the fact that his father
was veteran of the civil war and to
the additional fact that his wife is an
invalid.
