sTYNER NOT MURDERED.
American Suffering In Mexico City
from Self Inflicted Wound.

Mexico city: Word reached this city
that a story was in circulation In the
United states that the recent general
manager Of the Mexican Central rail-
road, +. L.. Styner, had been murder
ed by a member of the anti-American
society. The story is absolutely with
out foundation. No such society exists
here. Styner Is lying at che point OF
death in his home here as the result
of self-inflcted Wounds. On Satur-
day last Styner resigned his position
as general of the Mexican
Central railroad, and on Monday he
was found lying across a bed In his
room with blood flowing from a wound
in his throat which he had inhicted
with a razor. His condition today Is
such that the attending physicians re-
fuse to say that he will recover.
The murder story was perhaps due
to well intentioned friends of Styner
residing here. who wired his father in
indianapolis saying that he had been
attacked and badly wounded.
Styner is one of the best known rail-
road men in the republic.

.AOKI CALLS ON ROOT.
Plans for Negotiating New Japanese
Treaty Arc DISCUSSED.

Treaty Are Discussed.
Washington, ID. c.: Viscount Aokl
called at the state department Thurs
day to discuss with Secretary Root
the program to be followed in con-
Quoting negotiations for he prepara-
ton of Il treaty relative to the restric-
ton of Japanese coolie immigration
into the United States.
AS the ambassador had been fully
Informed of all the steps leading up
to the passage of the immigration act,
and, in fact, had already suggested the
adoption of measures to exclude Jap
anese without passports, he was not
disposed to criticise adversely what
had been done by congress. Therefore
the way to resume negotiations for the
projected restrictive treaty was re-
garded as open. and it is believed that
before the assembling of the next con-
gress the new convention would be
ready for consideration of the ques-
tiON.

The shortage of cars on the Armour

of belmont, Armour, Corsica and
Stickney could use 100 cars in a week

TZI-HSU is TO QUIT.
DOWAGER EMPRESS OF CHINA
WILL ABDlcATE.
Calls Grand Council Meeting, Mt
Which She VIII Transfer Empire
to Observation-Disclosures Woman
Prevents Railroad Wreck

The Empress Dowager of China, ac-
cording to dispatches from Shanghai, will
hand over the throne to her grandson at
the next Chinese new year. She has
secretly called meeting Of the Grand
Council to put the change into effect by
declaring that the nominal Emperor of
the land shall in the future be the real
ruler. The Dowager Empress, who is
now Y years old, has been supreme in
Chinese affairs for many years. Her
career is a remarkable one. The daughter
of Manchoo, sold in infancy by faith
er who ran into financial difficulties, she
became, at an early age, one of the sec
ondary wives of the Emperor Hien-Fupg.
She won his admiration and affection and
bore him son. This son she placed on
the throne, but his career was brief,
poison, it has been thought, causing his
death. As there was no other heir to
the throne the infant son of Prince
Chung, the son in question, became EN-
peror under the name of Kwang-Su and
under the regency of Tzi-Hsu, the Dow
ager Empress. In 1889 the Emperor
nominally assumed full control of the gov
eminent, but nine years later, when he
issued some reform decree, the regency
of the Dowager Empress was restored and
she has since vigorously kept him in the
back ground

tory-Records of Shipments Are
Broken,

There will be no coal famine in the
Northwest next winter if the roads enter
ing Superior, Wis, are able to handle the
business, and it is believed that they
will be- Coal receipts up to the present
time have broken all records, and there
lis actually on the docks about 100000
tons. Meanwhile shipments are good for
summer and the prospects are that before
ehe close of navigation more coal will be
sold from Superior and Duluth docks
than ever before during the same season.
For the three months previous to Aug. l,
this year, the Superior and Duluth docks
shipped into the Northwest more coal
than ever before in that same period and
nearly double the amount sent out in the
same three months of 1906. This year
from May 1 to Aug. / a total of 1894
cars have been shipped, as against 49,
b49 in that period a year ago. The roads
are rushing in new trackage and yard
facilities, and the Great Northern will
soon have in operation its big new freight
transfer shed in Superior, which, it is
calculated, will relieve that road of the
congestion Of general freight experienced
