Topeka Boy Abroad Describes Treas

In his last letter from Europe Ber-
nard Crosby says:
We left London Saturday, July Is,
and spent that afternoon and Sunday
in Canterbury. The old cathedral there
is beautiful and the history connected
with it is interesting. ST. Martins
church, built before the sixth century
and still complete with very little
restoration; and with a beautiful old
park with terraced lawns. Then the
old Roman road runs through the
city. Sunday afternoon we took a long
drive through Whitstable about ten
miles and along the coast. Left Mon
day noon for Paris by the way of
Dover and Calais. At the latter place
we turned our baggage over to the
porter and had them inspected in the
customs house. Very easy. They only
opened one grip out of the three. We
then took a train for Paris, reaching
there about 6 O'Clock in the evening

morning in the ancient sculpture rooms

SO little time to give such great and
grand pieces of work. Saw Venus of

RACE WAR IN MISSOURI.
Excitement at Fever Heat over Kill
ing Of Another Negro.

Springfield ,Mo.-Leslie Peters, 16
years old, shot and killed Ralph Burns,
a negro Of bad reputation, one of two
who attacked him in this city Mon
day night while he was escorting
young lady home from a party. The
negroes accosted him at the gate of
the young lady's home, and one OF the
negroes fired two shots from revolt
yer at him, but neither shot took eff
feet. Peters Immediately fired four
shots at the negroes, killing one of
them, and the other escaped. Peters
went to the police station and gave
himself up, but he was released
without bond.
The news of the killing OF another
negro spread like wildfire through the
city and hundreds of people left their
beds and FASTENED to the public
square. The militia on guard there
prevented any violent outbreak and
after time dispersed the crowds. 1t
is believed the killing will tend to in
crease the feeling against the negroes.
People who had been disposed to SYM
pathize with the negroes are incensed
at this latest negro assault.

PLY was not stained this year by anti
Jewish excuses. The measures taken
by the central government and the
orders sent to the provincial authori
ties to take every precaution, with the
added warning that they would be held
personally responsible for outbreaks
apparently were effective, though the
danger will not be over until the East

The high church feast was celebrat
ed in the usual fashion-with much
eating and drinking and the exchange
of the kiss of peace. Some slackenins
in the old religious fervor was notice
able, especially in st. Petersburg This
is attributed to the revolutionary pro
paganda. which, in striking at the
roots OF the state, touched also blind
devotion to the church. The streets
of the capital have been alive with the
cabs of government officials and clerks
making their congratulatory calls on
their superiors.
Minister of the Interior Durnovo
however, published notice to his sub
ordinates, stating that 1t was not nee
essary for them to call on him. and In
the midst of general surprise his re
tirement from office was announced
but this declination of congratulations
is regarded as another intimation that
his REIMBURSEMENT of Office is a matter
of a few days. Count Witte for the
moment seems to have downed his ri
val, the elections having strengthened
his position greatly and enabled hin
to lay the blame for repression on NJ

The majority of the worshipers in

escape from the supposed danger.
Many persons jumped through the
windows, but the greater portion
crowded to the center aisle.
A boys prank was responsible for
the accident. While Rev. NJ. Farnik
pastor of the church, was Offering the
evening prayer, one of a crowd of boys
who had been lettering outside the
church suddenly pushed open the front
door and shouted, Fire" Seeing the
serious effect his words had on the

RETIREMENT OF CASTRO
CAUSES MUCH COMMENT
Action OF the President Of Venezuela
in Giving Up His Office Has Puz-
zIed Everybody.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao
Passengers arriving here Monday
from Venezuela say that the action
of General Castro in retiring from the
presidency in favor of Vice President
Gomez Is not clearly understood in
Venezuela, but the general opinion
seems to be that his retirement Is only
temporary General Castro has gone
one way. as private citizen, unat.
tended and paying the regular fare
on the railroad. His wife has gone
another and the former presidents
sister arrived here Monday.
The resignation of the Venezuelan
cabinet is also causing speculation.
The ministers retiring when Castro
gave up the reins of power, but Go.
mez has not appointed new cabinet,
and therefore the old ministers have
retained their portfolios. On the
other hand, Castro's followers are
scattering, leaving the capital In diff
ferent ways.
The opinions expressed here, the
nearest point to Venezuela. are con.
ficting. The Venezuelans as a rule
are reticent when questioned on the
subject They generally say that
Castro is sick, and hesitate to give
their opinion Of his retirement from
the presidency.

years was president of the Ohio Yves.
leyan university. He is en- route to
Chicago to attend the semi-annual
meeting of the board of Episcopal
bishops. Concerning conditions in
China, Bishop Bashford said:
"The reports of disturbances in
China have been grossly exaggerated
in the United States. There have
been three riots in the empire since
the Inauguration of the American boy
colt year ago.
Each one of these riots was due to
local causes, and similar causes
would have produced at least two OF
them in the United States. The Chi

Mine Workers and Operators Reach
Parting Of the Ways.

New York.-At the meeting OF the
subcommittee OF the anthracite mine
workers and operators here Thursday
the representatives OF the employees
offered the mine owners the choice Of
two propositions in their endeavor to
come to an amicable agreement, and
the employers made an informal reply
in which they intimated that they are
not likely to accept either Of the wage
workers offers. The operators will
make an official answer to the miners
latest proposition by letter and there
will be no further meetings unless
something develops. The meeting did
not bring the contending parties closer
together. II the operators should de-
cline entertain either of the propo-
sitions submitted by the miners
Il is probable convention of miners
will be called at which the delegates
will declare that strike exists.
Briefly stated, the offer made by
President Mitchell was resubmission
of the miners original demands with
two amendments and In case they are
not accepted he proposes that the
whole controversy be placed before
the strike commission.
