Boston, July 23.-Classic Boston is disturbed to the limits of its most dis tant suburb by the reign of terror which has been inaugurated by the perpetrators of the Jamaica Plains outrage Tuesday night, when bar room was ''shot up" by two strange men. Last night two men, who are believed to be the same ones who did the shooting on Tuesday, suddenly ap- peared rushing madly through thick ly settled district of Jamaica Plains, heavily armed and shooting right and left. Many people were sitting quiet- ly on their porches, and as the des- peradoes ran through. the street, the residents became targets for a mur- derous fire from the bandits. In the course of few blocks one man was killed and ten were wounded, two of them so severely that they will die. Herbert Knox was almost instantly killed, and Mrs. Bella Fallon who was standing in front of her home is dy- ng. The. .desperadoes disappeared in the Franklin Park woods, whither they were soon followed by frenzied crowd of citizens and officers who had hastily secured weapons The woods were searched, and it was ascerteined that the fug!tives were in hiding in Forest Hill cemetery. The cemetery is now surrounded by three hundred police who have orders to shoot on sight. It is believed that hunger drove the desperadoes from the hiding place they have occupied since Tues day night, and believing that they were recognized they started shooting, commencing in that way their mad flight through the residence district. The police are positive that there is no possibility of the escape of the men, but do not think that they will be taken alive. Jamaica Plains IS in state of panic and will remain so until the men are dead or in custody.
 
 Special cable to The Miner from
 the Fairbanks Times.
 Fairbanks Alaska, July 23.-The greatest political rally ever held in Fairbanks took place here last night when John Roman addressed an im- mense gathering of voters. The ad- herents of Judge Wickersham att tempted to stampede the meeting but the movement was flat failure. Romans reception is unprecedented in the entire Tanans valley, and his supporters are jubilant. They declare that he will carry the Tanana country by sweeping majority and now be- lieve his election is assured. In the course of his speech Roman intr oduced new campaign issue by attacking the freight tariffs now in force and declaring that one of his first acts if elected would be to secure | maximum freight rate for this country which would practically cut the present schedule in two. He claimed that the transportation companies exacted @ 'ery dollar the tariff would stand, and based their rates on what they could get instead of what was due. Romans unexpected stand on this question created sensation and brought down the house. He was wig orously applauded during his; speech, especially when he stated that he fav = ored an improvement in the lfe n law which would make laborer's claim the same as first class mortgage.

 Fairbanks, July 23.-Judge Wicke r. sham went to Fox City last night to address the miners and was greeted with most enthusiastic reception. Upon his arrival the signal was; given by steam whistle, which was taken up by every whistle along the gold stream, and in a short time so many persons had assembled that no build ing large enough to hold them could be found. Wickersham then address ed them in the open air, covering the ground on which he is making his fight for election very thoroughly. l supporting speech, ex-president Mcleod of the Western Federation of Miners arraignd both Corson and Gale bitterly, stating that Alaska had re- ceived enough experience in sending to Congress and that the next man should be both fighter and a legislator, one who would have suffi- cient ability to offset the present gov ernor's influence. He asserted that the Corson managers would find out when the campaign was over that the
