 The woods where the shooting took place are a part of the woods owned by Edward B. George, clerk of courts for Essex county, by whom Cahill was employed. Warden Rauseh came upon Cahill and companion carrying rib- bit and squirrel, which had been shot, and with guns in their hands. The warden demanded that the men submit to arrest and the shooting followed.

Violent Public Demonstration at the
 LOngchnmps Race Course.

Paris. Oct 14.-There were violent public demonstrations at the Long champs race course this afternoon in consequence of an. unsatisfactory start in the Free handicap. The trouble cul- minated In riots, pillages and incendi- arism. Many persons were arrested.
 The racing programme comprised six contests, and the first two passed off with the ordinary calm, Then the flag fell for the Free handicap. There were nine starters in this race and four, in- cluding the fayorite, remained at the post owing to a misunderstanding. Amid terrific uproar a complete out sider won. The public immediately be- came enraged, broke down the barriers and invaded the track Crowds de- manded the return of their bets. They surrounded the bookmakers' booths, chased out the cashiers and seized the money Attempts to restore order were in vain. The crowds anger increased and men began breaking chairs and throwing them on the track. Then a rougher element raided some automo- piles stationed near the grandstands, seized supplies of petroleum, with which they sprinkled the booths and other woodwork and set them on fire. The squad of firemen on duty were helpless, as the hose had been cut. The authorities telephoned for assistance to Mont Valerien, and strong body of troops was at once started out on the double quick
 The soldiers succeeded eventually in clearing the enclosure by charging, but in the meantime the betting structures burned to the ground. A large wooden building belonging to the bookmakers also was set on fire.
 The last three races were postponed Sixty arrests were made and a large number of policemen and rioters were injured.
 A large force of troops will remain on duty throughout the night at both the Longchamps and Auteuil courses.

FOR GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION
Folk, of Missouri, Comes Out Plain
 Footed on Railroad Subject.

Pennington, Mo, Oct. Ex-Governor Folk, who has given public expression of his opposition to government owner ship of railroads, came out yesterday in advocacy of policy of government supervision.
 The governor favors a government control similar to the present control of national banks by the federal govern ment. Gov. Folk travelled with MT. Bryan and spoke from the same plat form. They held conferences on the is- sues of the day, and discussed MT Bryan's advocacy of government own ership.
 Governor Foyk said yesterday: "If there were comptroller of railroads appointed by the president, subject to removal at pleasure, with absolute pow CT to suspend directors or officials of interstate railroads violating the law, and appoint receivers to take charge of the road until it's operators could fur nish sufficient guarantee of more re- sponsible management, the result should be to remedy evils now existing in railroad affairs.
 Tn other words give the comptroller of railroads the power over railroads that the federal government now exer- cises through the comptroller of the currency over national banks'

 Hong Kong, oct. 14.-The steamer Hangkow, with 2,OOO Chinese passen- gers, men, women and children, and seven Europeans and cargo including 300 bales of mating, 560 bales of raw silk and 400 bales waste silk, arrived from Canton at 3 o'clock this morning and was shortly afterward moored at the wharf
 lire chief officer reported to Captain Branch that the ship was afire. The captain then directed the chief engineer to turn on the water through the fire hose. This was impossible for the req son that within five minutes after the alarm was given the HangkoW was ablaze fore and aft Captain Branch then awakened the European passen- gers, who rushed down the gangWay, the ladies in their night clothes.
 The crew was compelled to leave the ship which by this time was a Yeritable furnace. The Chinese. steerage passen- gers were thrown into frightful pan ic. Horrifying shrieks and cries to save their lives were heard, but it was inl- possible owing to the inflammable mat ter of the cargo. Hundreds were burn ed to death and other jumped into the harbor and were drowned

AMERICANS THE CHAMPIONS

 Game--Score Eight to Three-Presi-
 dent Murphy of the Losing Club
 Makes Speech Saying the Best Team
 Won--Cheer After Cheer Follows His
 Words.
 Chicago, Oct. 14.-The Chicago club of the American Baseball league is the champion of the world. By winning to-day's game, to 8, against the local club of the National league the Ameri- cans earned the right to float the worlds championship pennant as well as the pennant of the American league, to ride to the grounds next season in. carriages and to have Worlds Cham pions" lettered on the blankets worn by their horses. To-day's game was the sixth of the series and the fourth vic- tory for the Americans.
 When the last National batsman had gone out crowd surged around the box wherein sat Charles w. Murphy, president of the losing club He smiled at requests for speech and said:
 The best team won. Too much praise cannot be given to President Comiskey and Captain Jones and the team, which by unprecedented pluck climed in mid season from seventh place to the top of their own league and then topped off that great accomplishment by winning the worlds championship from the team that made a runaway race of the National league contest. I call for three cheers for Comiskey and his great team"
 Cheer after cheer followed this speech, but they were lost to the hearing of most of the crowd, which was busily cheering other things-the individual players, the players collectively, and humping said players on the backs with such enthusiasm that every one of them had to fight a way out to the waiting carriages And cheers for the losers were not lacking. They had lost | the greatest distinction which baseball offers, but are still a great team, and the crowd which followed their car riages through crowded blocks did not spare their throats in saying so.
 Comiskeys rotund, rosy face was wreathed in smiles long before the game was over for the Americans put the victory in storage in the first two innings. When Schulte went out at first after a rally, and the great series was over, Comiskey shook hands with such of his players as he could reach. | The others were fighting to save them selves from their friends and had no time for congratulations, save pound ing each other on the back.
 The crowd seemed loathe to leave the grounds when the game was over Thousands poured out of the bleachers and circus seats onto the grounds while those in the stands stood up and watched the spectacle. The yells and screechings of noise-making devices which had been rending the air all during the game apparently to the linn it, were redoubled. It was pandemoni- um let loose. The players tried to cling together for mutual protection, but il was useless.
 The wives of such of the Americans as are married were waiting for thell spouses in the carriages to carry then away safely from the -worshipping mob. A crowd of small boys tore the wire screen from a ticket window after

The adjacent fields were covered with thousands of auto mobiles and carriages, and fully 100000 persons had assembled to see the race. The starters were officers of the army balloon corps.

The balloons were carried off by south west wind and probably will land in Silesia or beyond. The victory will go to the cleverest handler of ballast.
