HIGHLANDER OUTBREAK.
Chinaman Killed and Four Wounded
at Oakland, Cal.

Chinaman Killed and Four Wounded
at Oakland, Cal.
Oakland, Cal, Jan. 14-One Chinese
was killed and four wounded in a
highlander outbreak in Chinatown dur
ing the night. The trouble opened
with the assassination of Lee Book
Dong, capitalist. Dong was shot
while he was seated at the supper
table in his home.
Two Chinese were admitted to the
room where Dong was eating and each
fired one shot from a revolver and dis
appeared. Both bullets struck Dong
and he died almost instantly. A short
time later the fusillade commenced in
the Chinese quarter. The killing of
Dong seemed to have been the signal
for general fight. Before the shoot
ing ceased four Chinese had been shot
and more or less seriously injured.
Hop Sings and Ping Hungs were in
volved in the outbreak, which, the po-
lice say, was due to a quarrel among
the Chinese over All Kee, a girl who
lives at Dong's home. Dong Is said to
have been heavily interested in gam
bling games in the Chinese quarter.
A number Of Chinese were placed
under arrest by the police.

YERkEs DIMES CHARGES.
Has Not Worked Against Interests Of
Small DistlIer.

Small Dtstitler.
Superior, Wis, Jan. 14.-The Tele-
gram prints a 4,O0O-word report by
commissioner Of Internal Revenue
ferkes made at the special request Of
President Roosevelt as the result Of
charges made against Yerkes' depart
ment. The paper had charged that his
department had been working against
the law permitting the distilling of de.
,natured alcohol and further charged
that the law was no good anyway be-
cause it compelled a distiller to pro-
duce at least 500 gallons day.
In his report to the president Mr..
Yerkes contradicts both these points
fatty. He declares there is absolutely
no limit, that still may produce five
gallons or 5000, that the small distil-
Ter is placed under no disadvantage
under the law. He declares that he
has never attempted to head off legis-
lat1on in this respect, but that, on the
other hand, he has been supporting
the movement for four years past.
Mr.. Yerkes says his department has
not hedged the law around with reg
ulations that are prohibitive to the
farmers and furthermore pledges the
support of the department for the OBJ
tanning of any further legislation that
experience may show to be necessary
In the interest of small distillers

MEANS WAR TO THE END.
Pope's Encyclical Discussed From
French Point of View.

French Point of View.
Paris, Jan. 14.-The encyclical is
sued by Pope Plus seemingly puts an
end to the hopes of the moderates of
all shades Of opinion that the church
eventually would accommodate itself
to the new conditions in France. There
is not the faintest suggestion that the
French bishops will not obey the or
ders from Rome. Although many Of
Il EN- unquestionably would prefer an
Intermediate solution Of the difficult
lies, confronted as they now are by
the choice between obedience or
schism, it is a foregone conclusion
that at the meeting of the episcopacy
here Jan. Is they will simply register
the pope's decision.
The consequences are likely to be
deplorable from every point of view.
The majority of the clergy and Cath
olics generally recognize that prac-
tically there is no chance of the
church emerging victorious from the
struggle. On the contrary, the lot of
the church will be only harder. If it
is the Vatican's purpose to "drive
France to Canossa" it must fail, as no
matter how desirable negotiations
might have been at the beginning the
mere suggestion now of negotiating
would mean the instant downfall Of
the cabinet If the object of the Vat
lean is to arouse the Catholics to seek
redress at the polls the first attempt
at organizing for that purpose will be
met by a measure authorizing the gov
eminent to regard all priests as be-
ing subjects of foreign power. This
step, however, as Premier Clemenceau
has announced, will only be taken as
a last resort.

MAY DEPosE WILLIAMS.
Champ Clark Slated for the Minority
Leader in the House.

Ondmp CLARK SIaIeQ TOT the minority
Leader in the House.
Washington, Jan. 14.-There is to
be a great revolution in the Demo
cratic political camp. Pledges have
been given which insure the selection
of Champ Clark of Missouri to be the
Democratic leader in the house of rep
resentatives and the party candidate
for speaker in place of John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi, the present
leader.
The campaign for the deposition of
Williams has been going on quietly
for long time, until pledges from old
members who have been reelected to
the Sixtieth congress and from new
ones who will come into the house at
the same time have reached number
sufficient to insure the control of the
Democratic caucus in behalf Of the
Missouri representative.
This change is of immense impor-
lance, because it involves a great deal
in the way of presidential politics, as
the Democratic candidate for speaker
will not be proposed until just before
the opening of the first session of the
next congress in December next From
that time on candidates for the presi-
dency and vice presidency will be bus
lily engaged in different states and the
influence of Democratic representa-
tives in congress will have a great
deal to do with debating the nomina-
ton. Mr.. Williams friends do not
give up the fight yet, but there is
every reason to believe the pledges
for Clark now constitute clear major
ity of the caucus.

RAILROAD TO vLADIvosToK.
Proposed Line Wholly in Russian
Territory.


st. Petersburg, Jan. 14.-The minis
try OF railroads has proposed to the
counsel of ministers the immediate
commencement of the construction of
the first section Of the Amur railroad,
designed to give Russia line to
Vladivostok entirely through Russian
territory. This section runs from
Stretinsk, where construction of the
Amur railroad was abandoned when
Russia occupied Manchuria, to Pok-
hoovskaya, at the confluence of the
Shilka and Argun rivers, head of navi-
cation on the Amur, a distance of 24O
miles. The purpose of the line at
present is purely strategical and was
evoked by the specter of a renewal Of
the Russo-Japanese war. 1t is admit
ted that the road can be profitable
commercially only after many years.
The need Of the immediate construc-
ton of the remaining section to Kha-
barovsk is obviated by the facility of
steamer navigation from Povrovskaya
to the sea.

GOD COMMANDED HIM TO ACT
Insane Farmer's Defense for Staying
His. Wife.

Uhrichsville, O., Jan. 14.-Simon
Sindlinger, aged sixty, a well-to-do
farmer three miles west of here, shot
and killed his wife as she lay sleeping
In bed. He has suffered from hal
lucination that enemies are trying to
drive him away from his home, but
was not considered dangerous.
Rising from his bed and securing
revolver he fired two bullets into his
wife's brain. A son heard the shots
and was just in time to prevent his
father from ending his own life
In probate court Sindlinger told the
judge the Lord had commanded him
to kill his wife, but that he did not
want to obey the command unless he
killed himself also. He was commit.
ted to Massillon asylum.

PRESIDENTIAL message on Break in Col
orado River.
Washington, Jan 1.-THE president
has sent to congress message urg-
ing some action by that body towards
remedying the situation caused by the
break in the Colorado river four miles
below the international boundary line
in Mexico and which threatens the
property interests in the Imperial val
ley of California The presidents
message contains long review of the
situation and says that prompt action
must be taken, otherwise conditions
will become SO extreme as to be i'm
practicable Of remedy. Probably with
an expenditure of $2000,0OO, he says,
the river can be restored to it's former
channel and held there indefinitely.
The question of what sum, if any,
should be paid to the Southern Pacific
Railroad company for work done
since the break of Nov. is one for
future consideration.

SECRETARY OF STATE WILL BE
GUEST OF DoMINIoN's GOV.
ERNoR GENERAL.
SAYS TRIP IS PURELY A SOCIAL ONE.
BRlToNs HOPE, HOWEVER, THAT
IMPORTANT TREATY MAY
BE THE RESULT.

London, jan 1.-THE Times pub
fishes cablegram from Washington
In which the announcement is made
that Secretary Root, with his wife and
daughter, will visit Earl Grey, gov
ernor general Of Canada, at Ottawa,
shortly.
Mr.. Root told the Times correspond
ent that his visit would be social, not
official, but the correspondent gives
reasons why he thinks that the visit
will assist to a settlement of the vari-
GUS questions outstanding between the
United States and Canada. He says
that if after the visit it is possible
for Mr.. Root and the Dominion to con-
struct a treaty broad enough to. with
stand assaults from the existing de-
terrent forces the trip may result in
forever removing the causes of i'll feel
ing between the two countries and
may, In Mr.. Roots words, "clear up
every pending controversy with Eng
land"
ELECTS Favorable Comment.
The coming visit of Secretary Of
State Root to Earl Grey, governor gen
eral of Canada, elicits favorable COM
ment by officials and in the British
press. The opinion expressed is that
the visit foreshadows better relations
between the United States and Can
ada, which were considerably i'm
proved as the result of the governor
generals tour of the United States
last year.
Great Britain is extremely anxious
for final settlement of all outstand-
ing questions with the United States,
most of which permit of an early
agreement, but the sealing and New
foundland fisheries questions stand in
the way While it is stated that Mr..
Roots visit is purely one of courtesy
the impression here is that 1t will
afford an opportunity to go over these
and other long standing controversies
between Canada and the United States
and perhaps smooth the way for a
general agreement.

BUILDING THE CANAL
COMMISSION OPENS BIDS FOR
COMPLETION or THE BIG
PANAMA DITCH.
offers SUBMITTED VARY WIDELY
LOWEST BIDDERS WELL KNOWN
AS LARGE CONTRACTORS IN
UNITED STATES.

Washington, Jan. 14.-The isthmiap
canal commission has opened bids
from private contractors for the COM
pletiOn of the Panama canal. In the
opinion of Chairman Shonts it is the
greatest task of modern times and is
in the highest degree exceptional in
magnitude and complexity. The basis
on which the contract is to be award
ed is percentage OF the cost of COM
pleting the work:
W. J.. Oliver of Knoxville, Tenn,
and Arson M. Bangs of New York,
associated together, were the lowest
bidders for the construction of the
canal. They propose to do the work
for 6.75 per cent upon the estimated
cost. -Four proposals only were re-
ceived
{. The other bidders were George
PIERCE & Co. of Frankfort, Me-, and
New York city, who offered to do the
work for 7.19 per centum upon the
estimated cost; the North American
Dredging company of Los Angeles.
Cal, who offered to do the work for
% per centum Of the estimated cost,
and the McArthur-G Gillespie company
of New Jersey, whose bid was 12.5
per centum.
w. ]. Oliver and Arson Bangs, the
lowest bidders, have had much expert
ence in contracting work. Mr., Oliver
is one Of the largest railroad contrac-
tors in America and is at present en-
gagged in tunneling Lookout mountain
and other extensive work. Mr.. Bangs
was the contractor for the 500 canal
locks.
More than 100 contractors and their
representatives attended the opening
of the bids. Before reading the pro-
posals Mr.. Shonts explained that no
bid would be accepted until after the
commission has thoroughly studied
and investigated it.
