The long heralded Shore Line Limited
train of the Southern Pacific company
made its initial trip between San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles yesterday, arriv-
ing here on scheduled time last night at
$3.50 o'clock with III passengers aboard.
The entire trip of AIS miles that sepa-
rate the metropolis of Northern Cali
fornia from that of Southern California

hours and thirty minutes or two hours
and fifteen minues faster than any
other Southern Pacific train.
Only Six Stops

San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara
The train is an exclusive parlor car
train. 1t carries mail car, baggage
car, diner, through parlor and obser-
walton cars and parlor car from Los
Angeles to Del Monte.
The train is in the full sense of the
word limited. No passes or tickets
are taken. 1t is absolutely cash fare
train and is intended to- cater to the
highest class of tourists. Its purpose
is primarily for the tourists and to form
connecting link between the famous
resorts on the Pacific coast.
Finest Equipment
The equipment of the Shore Line
Limited is of the highest order. The
crews are the highest paid in the SER
vice of the Southern Pacific company.
The Pullman conductors in charge of
the several cars are required to have
been in the service for not less than ten
years. The conductors and brakemen
are the most skillful employed by the
company.
The Shore Line Limited which left
San Francisco yesterday morning at 8
o'clock, was in the personal charge of
James Horsburgh. jr., assistant general
passenger agent of the Southern Pacific
company at San Francisco. He said
that these trains would leave the ter
minals at 8 o'clock each morning and
are scheduled to arrive at the other
point at $3.50 o'clock at night.
Bouquets for Women
"All along the road yesterday hun
dreds of citizens representing the Of
fetal bodies of the cities at which we
stopped greeted us in the most
elegant style" said Mr.. Horsburgh.
"At San Jose the representative bodies
of the city, the newspapers and the
students at Stanford gave the train a
hearty welcome. The women passen-
gers were handed huge bouquets of
flowers and the gentlemen a lone bios
som. 1t was the most touching well
come that has ever been rendered
new train in the history of the Southern
Pacific company.
This train was gotten up for the
purpose of bringing out the wealth into
California. The company has expended
100000 in advertising the train and
California in general, and the predic-
tions for the future influx of persons
of wealth and affiuence are most po-
tent"

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The
house today passed the army appro-
priation bill and also the Foraker bill,
providing for the marking of the
graves of Confederate dead buried in

unanimous sentiment in favor of

by the military committee it was
brought in by Mr.. Prince and passed
unanimously amid applause on both
sides of the house.
Points of order made to the pro-
visions for a cable ship for the At
lantic coast and to a ship for mine
planting on the Pacific coast, elimin-
ated these provisions from the appro-
priation bill.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-w. S.
Allen, Canton agent for the Sperry
Flour company, who arrived on the
Kongkong Maru today, having been
recalled on account of the paralysis
of the firms Chinese business since the
boycott, stated that the situation in
the orient is very serious. He said:
"The principal element in the agita-
tion over there is the newspaper cor.
respondents. The Chinese newspapers
have progressed wonderfully. They
are at last alive to the general situa-
tion of affairs throughout the world,
and they are becoming a powerful
weapon.
1T has heen charged that they are
being controlled by the Japanese, but
have seen no evidence of it. The
whole movement seems to me a Chi
nese national upheaval, and those who
know most about it are most impressed
with the gravity of the situation. 1t is
foolish to say the boycott or the re-
form movement in general is weaken
ing. 1t would be more correct to say
it is just beginning.
II think the whole trouble could be
compromised by allowing the coolies
access to the Philippines and Hawaii"

STORY OF NANcHANe RIOTS
Trouble Said to Have Been Due to
Quarrel Over Property
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SHANGHAI. March 1.-The follow
ing account of the recent attack on
foreign missionaries at Nanchang, a
city of 100000 inhabitants, has been
received:
Fifteen Methodists, twelve English
Protestants and fourteen French Cath
olic missionaries were in this city last
Thursday night, when the French
Catholic missionaries had a quarrel
with an official over a suit for possess
sion of property. Great excitement pre-
vailed Friday A mass meeting was
held Saturday and was followed Sun
day by riot. during which the prop
erty of the Catholics was burned. The
priests took refuge in the adjoining
house of Mr.. Kingman. The house was
burned and six priests and two Of the
Kingman family were killed.
THE Chinese governor attempted to
check the riot and rescue the mis-
sionaries. The members of the Methp-
dist mission, aided by Chinese soldiers,
took their schcol girls TO Chinese homes
in the city and brought Misses Howe
and Kahn from a hospital. All took
refuge in midriver in launch fur
nished by Chinese officials.
"The launch waited until Chinese SOL
diers brought the remaining missionar-
les at daylight Monday, and the launch
reached Kiukiang Tuesday. The
wounded Kingman girl died on the
way. Chinese could have blocked the
passage of the launch during the
twelve hours journey down the mar
row, shallow river, but they were
friendly.
"a Methodist named eQuirmback re-
mained at Nanchang to care for prop
erty. He is under the protection of the
governor and probably is safe. Lewis
wired Consul General Rogers at Shang-
hai Sunday, telling him of the disaster,
and also wired the facts to Bishop
Bashford Monday.
Capt. Fletcher, commanding the
United States ships, has the location of
every American missionary in the
Yang TIE valley. After consultation
Monday Capt. Fletcher ordered the
gunboat El Cano from Marking to meet
the fugitives at Kiuking.
"The cause OF the riot was local.
Serious blame attaches to the French
Catholics. Chinese friendly to the mis-
sionaries object to priests exercising
civil functions. There is much discus
sion throughout China, but there is no
indication of general uprising against
foreigners"

BY Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, o.. March 1.--When
the sun rose this morning this city
was at peace and aside from the pres
ence of the militiamen there was no
visible evidence of the disorderly scenes
of last night
After playing a game of tag with
various bands of youthful rowdies, who
for four or five hours last night caused
most of the disorder, the militia at a
late hour settled down to rest in ap-
parent complete control of the situa-
ti0n.
Disorder Checked
1t was not, however, until Charles
Ammel, commanding the eight COM
panies of soldiers, issued orders to ar
rest whole parties of men who were
found congregated at one place, and
who in some instances refused at first
to disperse, that the disorder was
brought into check.
The plan adopted by the militia was
to surround group of men and youths
and If they did not Immediately dis
perse, place them under arrest and
conduct them to headquarters.
Police Arrest Rowdies
The first result of this plan was the
arrest of a gang of fourteen rowdies
by a squad Of police commanded by
Sergeant Johnson. Within half an hour
Major Marshall of the Fourth regi
ment rounded up another party of nine
and took them to headquarters. From
this time forward the crowds on the
streets began to disappear and the dis
order ceased.
In the meantime there was great ex-
citement, augmented every little while
during the night by the news Of a
fresh outbreak somewhere.
Reports Are Exaggerated
Wildly exaggerated reports of burn
ing and shooting were circulated dur
ing the early hours of the night.
Three houses occupied by colored
families We're burned and several
others were stoned.
Two persons were injured during the
night. Sarah Boynton, colored. sus-
tained broken leg by jumping from
a window, and a 15-year-old white hoy,
Orla Willis, received a load of buck
shot in his leg, while a crowd was
stoning a house in the rear of st.
Joseph's church.

Nagasaki that the famine situation
in the northern provinces of Japan is
steadily growing graver. A second ap-
peal has been issued by w. f. Lampe

We're on the verge of starvation. Since
then members of our committee have

timating those affected by the famine
are too weak to describe the actual
sufferings."

of suffering and death, among them the
