gers on the Manchuria were Major

ing. The inSubordinate natives are
being subdued and the entire country
soon will be peaceful He declares

his trip is for purely personal purposes
and has no political significance.

STRIKE WILL GO ON.
The Most Recent Effort at a Settle
ment Has Failed.

Chicago, June 26--By a practically
unanimous vote the teamsters refused
to accept the terms recently offered by
the employers and the latest peace
prospect in the strike has vanished.
The terms offered by the employers
were those which have been published
from time to time with the addition
that the question of wearing the union
button should be left for decision with
the individual employers. Only two
unions, the department store drivers
and the express drivers voted on the
question, the other union agreeing in
two unions.
President Shea has issued a call for
all the local teamsters' unions to be
held tonight He has announced that
the only question to come before the
meeting is Of financing the strike. Other
labor men declare, however, that the
chief topic of discussion will be the
spreading Of the strike.

THEY WANT TO FIGHT.
Russian Generals Think They Have a
Good Chance to Win.

Gunshau Pass, June 27.-Many dis
patches reaching here through the off
cial paper which is edited from the
army HEADQUARTERS make the conditions
under which the proposed peace is to be
reached very indiherently understood.
In consequence Of events at Washing
ton a military initiative for an armis-
tice had been expected but although
Generals Linevitch and Kuropatkin ex-
press the conviction that Russia is
drifting toward peace, no action looking
to an armistice has been taken. On the
contrary, the commanders appear to re-
gret that at the time when the army
has reached its maximum strength 1t
is likely to be deprived of victory.
Numerous small bodies of Japanese
scouts have appeared in the regions Of
either Russian flank, and it is feared
that they WSre intended to screen the
turning operations of the japanese as
before the battle of Mukden.
Chinese report that fanking move
ments have been already taken but the
Russian staff denies this. Traders com
ing from Bedoun say the japanese are
advancing in that direction.
Still Skirmishing.
st. Petersburg, June 27.-Two tele-
grams have been received by Emperor
Nicholas from Lieutenant General
Linevitch, dated June "a and June Is.
respectively, and referring to the
movement of June 81 and June p.
On the latter date a japanese attempt
to dislodge the Russian OutpOsts in
the valley of the Kao was repulsed,
while the Russians in the Hailunchen
district dislodged the Japanese out
posts at Nanschancheng and advanced
southwark of that place.
The Russians operating in the di-
rection of Ufangla retired after un-
masking a considerable force of Jap
anese. The latter pursued the Russians
and occupied Yulangtzu in the Hail
unchen district. The Japanese re-
sumed the offensive in the neighbor-
hood of Shimiaotse, continuing a
frontal attack and making an ener-
getic turning movement. The latter
threatened to cut off the Russians
who consequently retired.

new Rail Line.
Rock Island Engineer Drives
Over Route of Proposed Cutoff.
Construction viii Be From Fair
bury, Neb. to HeringtOn.

Clifton, Kan, June CIV. L. Dar-
ling, chief engineer of the Rock Island
system, stepped from the early morn
ing westbound passenger train here
today and Immediately entered a car
riage waiting for him and drove
northward from this city.
The utmost secrecy has been OBJ
served in his movements. and it is be-
lieved here that Mr.. Darling's visit at
this time is in connection with the
plans for the construction of the pro-
posed link or cutoff between Fairbury,
Neb., and Herington, Kan.
It is now pretty definitely under
stood. that the Rock Island intends
building this line as soon as possible.
1t is considered as hardly likely that
actual work will begin this summer.
although this is not positively denied.
Surveys have already been made, and
it Is barely possible that work will be
ordered begun soon, if not this sum-
mer, by next summer at the very
latest.
The proposed construction will be
from Fairbury to Clifton, using the
present main line south from Clifton
to Broughton, and the further con-
struction of the line from Broughton
to some point near Enterprise on the
Salina branch, and using this branch
running directly south the remainder
of the way to Herington.
Thus by the construction of about
40 miles of railroad track, a new
route will be opened up for freight
and passenger traffic to and from the
northern main line of the Rock Island
passing through Omaha, to the south
line of the Rock Island extending
through Wichita to Oklahoma and
Texas.
The most important feature in this
connection is that the construction of
this link will cut out more than a hun
dred miles of distance for traffic des-
tined to pass from northern points to
southern points or vice versa.
The construction of this link also
eliminates unnecessary delays to both
freight and passenger traffic.
The proposed line will traverse a
section of the country in need of rail-
way facilities.

HEAD ON THE PILOT.
GhastIy Find of santa Fe Train Crew
Last Night.

A ghastly find of a human head and
a portion of a bloody shirt upon the
pilot of the engine attached to Santa
Fe freight 119 was made in the railroad
yards in this city last night at II o'clock
by the trainmen. The head was wedged
tight upon the pilot. The freight is a
local which runs between this city and
St. Joseph, Mo.
This morning trainmen of the east
bound passenger discovered the body
lying close to the rails two miles west
of Nortonville and near a small flag
station called Nichols The authorities
at NortonvilIe were notified and identi-
fication of the body as that of Herbert
Kent, the 20 year old son of Thomas
Kent of Nortonville was made. The
authorities at Nortenville are at a. loss
to account for the manner of the young
mans fearful death though it is pre-
sumed that he must have been walking
down the center of the track when
struck The body was badly mutiIated
and one arm severed from the person
when found this morning.
A coroner's inquest viii be held late
this afternoon.

st. Petersburg, June 27.-There is

have arrived here from Warsaw indi-
cate that the strike is only partially
successful and that the authorities are
keeping the situation pretty well in

are being arrested by the wholesale,
over a thousand having been put be-

Hay IS BETTER.
The Secretary Is Likely to Be in Bed
for Some Time.

Newbury, n. H, June 27.-The an
nouncement today from the summer
home of Secretary Of State John Hay
was that the patient had passed a COM
Portable night and that the morning
found him resting quietly, much re-
freshed from the nights sleep. AL
though Mr. Hays sleep was but inter
mittent, his repose resulted. in the re-
gaining Of considerab Bile strength. It
was not believed, however, that the
secretary would be about as soon as
had been anticipated The arrival of a
nurse and a physician, DR.. Jackson,
from Boston during the night was a
result of the belief that the secretary
would undoubtedly need the most care
ful nursing and medical attention dur
ing the coming days. The family, how
ever, does not apprehend any danger
whatsoever from Mr.. Hays illness but
they realize that the attack of uraemia
of Saturday, following as it did, a per-
iod of illness for which Mr. Hay went
abroad for treatment, weakened the
secretary's physical power and necessi-
tated at least that he remain quietly in
bed for several days.
During the night and morning a num-
ber of telegraphic messages arrived
from friends inquiring as to the condf-
tion of the patient and expressing the
hope of immediate return to health.
At Il o'clock it was stated at the
Fells. Secretary Hays home, that the
secretary was decidedly better today
than he was yesterday.
Among the kilograms received was
the following from President Roose-
welt:
'White House, Washington.
''To Mrs. John Hay I cannot but
be concerned about your telegram,
but am entirely confident that the
trouble is but evanescent-

CIRCUS men ARRESTED

Grandmere. Quebec, June 27.-Fif-

were arrested here Monday by militia
from Quebec, charged with kidnapping
and illusing a young French Canadian

This is the circus formerly owned
principally by William Sells of Topeka.

his former partners. The name of the

paper is exhausted, Sells name will
disappear from the advertising matter.
The fifteen men who were arrested
are doubtless a portion of the hang
