BOMB THROWN
IN CROWDED CAR.
Effort Made to Kill Members
of the Chinese
Mission.
AT THE STATION IN PEKlNG
WI Ting Fang. Former Minister TO
U, S. Is Injured-One Of Four Mis-
sions Ordered Abroad to Study
Political Methods.

Picking, Sept. 25.-At the Picking
railway station yesterday, as train
carrying one of the four missions or
dered abroad to study foreign political
methods was leaving, a bomb was ex-
ploded inside private car, killing
four minor officials and wounding
over twenty other persons. The wound
ed include Prince Tsai Tche, who
heads the most important of the mis-
sions, and WI Ting Fang, former min
lister to the United States, both of
whom received slight injuries. The
perpetrator of the outrage, who was
in the car, was blown to pieces.
The affair has created a profound
sensation and causes apprehension re-
garding the safety of members of the
court and leading officials Of the gov
eminent. The government officers and
the railways are now strongly guard
ed.
The edict appointing the missions
mentioned in the foregoing dispatch
was issued July 16. A dispatch from
Picking, Aug. 20, said that the mis-
sions were appointed to study foreign
systems of government because dow
ager empress intended to issue a de-
cree at the new year for the estab.
lishment of parliament twelve years
hence.

MANS HEART TAKEN
OUT and PUT BACK

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-The reno
val of a mans beating heart from his
body and its replacement after a bull
let had been extracted from the reg
ion adjacent to it has just been &C.
complished by the physicians at the
Germantown hospital.
Frank Robinson, % years old, Of
Germantown, was shot on Sept. by
Policeman Morley, while the latter
was trying to arrest him. The bullet
entered Robinsons chest on the left
side. He was hurried to the German
town hospital, where it was believed
his heart had been struck.
Some of the most eminent physi-
clans of the city were called into con-
sultation. Portion of two ribs were
removed, exposing the heart to view.
No evidence of a bullet could be
seen, so the surgeon with great care
partly removed the organ from the
body.
The bullet was found imbedded in
the flesh within a fraction of an inch
of the heart, upon which it had
caused pressure. The heart was then
replaced and the ribs returned and
covered with flesh. There is every
probability that Robinson will en-
tirely recover.

NORWAY and SWEDEN
END THEIR STRIFE

Karlstad, Sept. 24.-After protracted
sessions extending over some weeks
the Norwegian and Swedish delegates
who met here to settle the terms of
separation of the two countries early
last evening arrived at an agreement
on all points. The terms were not
made public.
In anticipation of an agreement
large crowds assembled around the
building in which the meeting had
been held to witness the departure of
the delegates. The Norwegians
emerged Immediately upon the con-
clusion of the session and were on
their way to Christiania a few min
utes after the announcement was
made of the outcome of the negotia-
lions. The Swedish delegates re-
manned within for some time, but
when they did show themselves they
received an ovation and were escorted
to their hotel by the crowd, which
sang the Swedish national anthem.
They left at midnight for Stockholm.
The delegates refused to discuss
the terms of agreement, simply say
ing that they would be given out early
this week. ..-.

Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia
is In New York and has been in con-
sultation here with various railroad
and business men on the subject of

CHINESE MINISTER SHOCKED.
Explains Probable Motive for Bomb
THROWING.


Washington, Sept. 25.-When the
dispatch containing an account of the
explosion Of a bomb in a private car
was shown to Sir Chentung LANG
Cheng, the Chinese minister here,
last night, he expressed his horror
over the occurrence and said it was
doubly unfortunate that it should oc-
cur just at this time, when all things
seemed so auspicous for China and
her government. There is no doubt
about the perpetrators or, rather, as
to the party that is responsible for
the deed. Then the minister added:
There are two parties in China,
the new reform party, which is desir-
Gus of having the people and govern
ment profit by the adoption of what
ever is found good in occidental civil
ization and methods, and the party
that you call anarchists in this coun-
try. The leaders of the latter are
really devoid of any principles,
whether of government or anything
else; envy and jealousy are the main
springs that actuate their every move.
Like your president-killing anarchists,
they merely seek to destroy. The
late action in regard to the sending
abroad of missions has especially an
gered them"

ANOTHER BODY IS
FOUND IN RIVER

Des Moines, Sept. 2J.-The dead
body of Frank Callahan of Peosta
was found in the Des Moines river
eight miles below the city last night.
Evidence points to the belief that
he was the victim of murderers or
drowning.
The circumstances surrounding his
death are nearly parallel to those of
the Griswold case, and the connec-
ton between the two is so marked as
to shatter the suspicion that the mys-
teries might be but mere condolences.
Frank Callahan disappeared from
Des Moines last Tuesday night He
was last seen at the Rock Island de-
pot at $50 o'clock in the evening,
and since then all trace Of him has
been absolutely lost, although his
father, with the aid Of private detec-
tives, has been securing the state for
him. w
His body, taken from the river last
night, was a sickenng reminder of
the Griswold tragedy. 1t was so
bloated as to make Identification of
the features almost an impossiblty.
A post-mortem showed, according to
the report ofDr. Miller, city physician,
that the skull was not crushed and
that no traces of poison could be
found on the body.
The hands were not tied, but the
right trousers pocket had been cut
open with sharp knife in the same
manner as one of Griswold's vest
pockets were found. His money was
gone and his watch chain dangled
loose in his vest pocket, with the
watch gone The chain was the on
ly valuable found on his person, but
his minor personal effects, so far as
could be seen, were intact.
The body was found in the river
about mile below Levy, small
town on the Burlington road, about
seven miles southeast Of the city, and
was first discovered by Clarence Keel
ing and Harvey Keller, two small
boys, who were swimming in the
river between and o'clock in the
evening. The boys discovered the
body in a heap of drift about thirty
feet from the shore, where the water
was only knee deep.

PAY fine
FOR CONSPIRACY
-Four Officials Plead Guilty
in Chicago Federal
Court
ONES CONSCIENCE HURTS HIM
Worry Over Trial Endangers Life of
Samuel We'll - District Attorney
Morrison Pleased With Startling
Turn in Litigation.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-Four officials
of the Schwarzschild G. Sulzberger
Packing company of Chicago were
fined an aggregate of $4,000 by
Judge Humphrey in the United States
district court here yesterday. The
fines followed plea of guilty to in
dictments charging conspiracy to &C
cept railroad rebates. The defend.
ants were Samuel We'll Of New York,
vice president of the company; v. s.
Cussy, traffic manager; Vance ID. Skip
worth and Charles E. Todd, assistant
traffic managers. Mr. We'll was fined
$4,000, the other three $4,000 each.
With the entering of the plea, the
declaration was made that unless at
least one Of the cases is Immediately
settled, the life of Samuel We'll, who
is vice president of the company and
is one of the defendants, is in jeop-
ardy He is said to be a nervous
wreck and fears were entertained for
his life if he had been allowed to
continue under the stigma of an in
dictment. The plea was entered, it
Is declared, after complete under.
standing had been reached between
counsel for the defendants and At
torney General VIM. H. Moody. While
in Chicago, the attorney general was
apprised of the condition of Vice
President We'll and it is said, agreed
to the entry of a plea of guilty with
the understanding that the Jail pro-
vision of law under which the indict-
ment was returned should be waived
and merely a fine imposed. The
same concession was made in the
case of the other three defendants
The four defendants were charged
with unlawfully combining and agree.
ing to solicit rebates for the Schwarzs-
child & Sulzberger company from the
Michigan Central Railroad company,
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
Grand Trunk Western railroad, the
Lehigh Valley Railroad company, the
Boston & Maine Railroad company
and the Mobile G. Ohio railroad COM
pany.
Charges were made that the de.
PENDANTS conspired with each other
in supposed claims for damages
which were in reality claims for re
bates.
The plea made yesterday does not
in any way affect the case of inter.
ference with government witnesses
made in a previous indictment re.
turned against Cussy and other
Schwarzschild e. Sulzberger men.
The four defendants were in the fed.
eral court building and all but We'll
appeared before Judge Humphrey.
They were accompanied by Attorney
Weissenbach and Attorneys I. NJ.
Boyeson and j. J. Herrick.
United States District Attorney
Morrison yesterday filed a demurrer
to the plea of abatement made on
Wednesday by the packers defend.
ant in the beef trust case. The de-
murrer alleges insufflciency of allie
cations in the plea of the packers.
