Strike Leaders Executed.

Los ANGELES. Cab June IA dis
patch to the Herald fkom Douglas. Ariz.,
reports the execution Of eight leaders OF
the Cananea riots yesterday by Colonel
Kosterltski, The rioters were lined up
in front of stone wall a, few blocks over
the hills from Ronaullo and killed by
volley from the rifles of the rurales un-
der the command of Kosterlitski who, It
is reported cried out as the shots were
fred Viva lie Mexico; so perish all
traitors" without fear the doomed men
replied one MANI ITO HI with the
government; away, with MexicoI''s
The dispatch further states that the ar
rival of Kosterlitskf with his troops had
more to do with the quelling of the riot
than the presence of American soldiers on
the scene. 1t also states that Cananea did
not burn. and is not burning. The -peeu-
MARY loss Of the Cananea Consolidated
Mining company is estimated at $780, COO and
work will be resumed within a week
A dispatch to the Times from FL Paso,
Tex, says that renewed trouble broke out
at Canapea last night between the striking
Mexicans Of Colonel w. c. Greenes mines
and the rlrales under Colonel KostPrlitski.
Five rioters were killed and thirteen tn
Jured. One of the -rurales was shot, but
not seriously injured.
The trouble broke out shortly before the
arrival of POO Mexican soldiers from Her
mosillo, All of the American women in
the town and many women of the higher
class Of Mexicans are quartered in Che
home of Colonel Greene. which is under
guard. ,...
Execution OF Leaders Denied.
DOUGLAS, Ariz,. June IA telephone
message direct from the office of Colonel
Greene in Cananea denies the reports that
the ringleaders in the riot were executed
by Colonel Kosterinski and that Governor
Ysabel had been placed under arrest for
having brought American volunteers across
the boundary. 80
So far as known only three Americans
and sixteen Mexicans were killed during
the disturbance. In addition TO the Met
eaifes Burt Bush of Bisbee was killed.
Fifteen soldiers are on the way to Can
anea from the City of Mexico. There was
no disorder yesterday or last night and the
situation today is peaceful. Colonel Greene
walked to his Office without a guard this
morning. He says he expects to resume
work at the mines and smelter today Cap
tain Rynning and his rangers returned to
Douglas last night.
II is apparent that all kilograms and tele-
phone messages from Cananea have been
strictly censored and it is now believed
here that more persons were killed in the
riots Of Friday and Saturday than has been
officially acknowledged Persons who ar
rived today from Cananea said that at
least ten Americans were killed, but no
veHfcation Of this statement is possible at
present.

RATE
re BILL MAY 60 b.

RATE BILL MAY GO BACK
Conference Committee May He Asked
to strike Out New destination.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-It is expected
that the conference report on the railroad
rate bill will be sent back to conference ms
a result OF injection of new matter in the
bill. Efforts to induce the senate conferees
to ask for the re-committment of the bill
have been unavaiting, however.
They met with the house conferees today
and considered the criticisms. Leaders of
both bodies decided 10 stand pat" and
not to reconsider the report unless 1t is
sent back on points of order.
1t is conceded that there are four changes
in the bill to which points of order might
be sustained. The first is the incorpora-
ton ofothe words Transportation or facili-
ties in the provision requiring every COM
mon carrier to file with the commission
copies of all contracts with other common
carriers In relation 10 any tranfc, ''trans-
portation or facilities" affected by this act
O. In section. A. the words Tor Transports
ton were added to the provision authoriz-
ing the commission to pass upon the rea-
sonableness and business of amy regula-
tons or practices whatsoever OF such
carrier or carriers affecting such rates {"
Another amendment of the same character
was made to this section.
The fourth amendment subject to a point
Of order is that declaring that the act
shall take effect sixty days after its
passage.
The conferees have held that the pro-
visions in relation to lateral or branch lines
fixing the salaries. of the secretary and
assistant secretary of the commission and
number Of others to which objection has
been. raised, are not subject TO points Of
order for the reason that while they are
new matter they were inserted in amend
ments under dispute and are germane to
such amendments.
The pass amendment was considered and
the indications are that 1t will be amneded
| to exempt railroad employees and their fam
flies If the bill is sent back to the con-
ference.
| A campaign has already begun to defeat
| the ant-pass amendment. Many kilograms
have been received by. members OF the
house, signed by officers Of organizations of
railway employees reading:
/ Please use all means within your power
to stop passage Of bill prohibiting the issue

strongly favors King Edward IS accept
ance Of the invitation to visit Canada.
The Daily Telegraph thinks such a
visit would be likely to involve a visit
to Washington and perhaps New ork.
The newspaper realizes that possibly
there are state reasons in the way Of
such a visit, but urges that "Canada is
a living link between the American re-
public and the British empire, and that
if it can be accomplished, it would be
not merely historic but memorable past
all example in the record of royal prog
resses.
The editorial concludes:
"The alliance with Japan, the entente
with France, the better understanding
with Russia, followed by a visit to
Washington and meeting with Presi
dent Roosevelt, which would be dra.
matte moment, Instincts with signif
canoe, sealing the Anglo.Saxon races fol
