tion Not Generally Known
to Outside World

London. Nov. 2o.-An Englishman
at present in this city who has a most
complete knowledge Of China and
Chinese conditions, expressed the
opinion today that the chances of
trouble resulting from the change Of
regime at Pekin were far more serious
than was generally thought.
Few people outside Of China ap-
preciate the relative position of the
Manchus and the Chinese" he said.
while the present dynasty is Manchu
and the Manchus hold about half the
high Offices everywhere, half the
smaller positions In the central gov
ernment as well as q vast preponder.

statesmanship and scholarship, the
population of the country IL Chinese.

their number 10 today the strongest
motive behind the revolutionary
movement. Az soon az the period Of

the Great Northern railroad, who ia in

streams were more desirable. but that
many consumers wanted the whitest
flour. He said that bleaching poor

binder War Among the
celestials

Denver, Nov. Chinatown here is
in the throes of its first highbinder
war, brought on by the fight between
the owners of the gambling houses
for the exclusive right to operate fan
tan tables and lotteries.
The death yesterday of Ye Long, a
gambler, is ascribed to the battle of

found in an alley In the Chinese quar-
ter. That he died Of poison was made
evident by his contorted face and
twisted limbs and note in Chinese

"A searching examination of the body
failed to reveal any marks of violence.
1t is believed that by the "dust of the
dragons tail" Yee referred to some
potent poison. II the crime can be
traced to any of the Cinnamon who

Branded as a Traitor to the
Democratic Party by the
Fargo Club
CHARGED WITH KNITTING The
PARTY IN LAST TWO ELECTIONS
Meeting at Which the Drastic Action
WasTaken Was Attended by the
Most Ernest and Influential Demo.
Gratis Of Fargo.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 20.-One of the
most sweeping condemnations that
ever rang the death knell of mans
aff1liation with a political party was
visited upon Edward E. Cole, Demo
cratic nominee for presidential elector
from North Dakota during the last
campaign, at the meeting of the
Burke club held last evening for the
purpose Of effecting a permanent or
ganization.
The single important action taken
by the club after it's reorganization
and the adoption Of the name "The
Democratic Club of Fargo" was to
read out of the party, to the extent
at least Of his local connection with
it, the subject of the following de-
cisively passed resolution:
Whereas, One E. E. Cole of
Fargo, claiming to be a Demo-
crat, openly knitted at least part
of the Democratic ticket during
the campaign and at the election
held November, 1906, and that the
said E. E. Cole was candidate
before the last state Democratic
convention for national commit
teeman, and at the same conven-
tion as an elector on the Demo-
cratic ticket, and that he knitted
at least a part of the Democratic
ticket during the campaign and at
the election held in November,
1908, be it
Resolved by the Democratic
club Of Fargo, that the said E. f.
Cole be and is hereby BANDED as
traitor to the Democratic party,
and is barred from membership in
this club.
AS the meeting was attended by
some of the most earnest and influ-
entail Democrats of Fargo, the reso-
luton is construed to mean that II
Mr.. Cole ever acquires further po-
litical influence, that it will have to
be through some other than the
Democratic party.

subordinates. This redistribution of
offices will have a vital bearing on
the peace Of the empire and unless
the Chinese are given greater repre-
sentation in the government than they
have at present, serious trouble may
be expected.
"The Chinese revolutlonists are
we'll organized, they have plenty of
arms and ammunition. The attitude
of foreign powers will exert a strong
influence on their actions. If the
Manchu dynasty commands The sup
port of the powers and particularly
armed support, a revolution is hardly
probable; but II the Chinese are as
sured that the powers would remain
neutral they might make short work
of the Manchu dynasty.
"Of the really eficient men in high
governmental positions, less than half
a dozen are Manchus: the great ma
jority are Chinese. Almost all of the
effective work of the government such
as diplomacy. the organization of rail-
roads and the development OF mines,
the reorganization of Manchuria and
the establishment Of a system of mod
ern education is being done by Yuan
Shi kai with the assistance of Ameri-
can educated Cantonese like Tank
Shao VI who is now on mission to
America and other countries of
Europe and his associates.
"This change of regime marks q
critical stage in the history of China.
The Chinese have for long demanded
more power and unless they get it
now there will be trouble trouble
that may take the form of a revolu-
tion."

J1LTED AT ALTAR
Bride Changed Her Mind and Married
Another.

New York, Nov. 2O.-Dan Cupid has
been pot hunting in New Rochelle
with the result th.,. the banns of
William Frederick. "a young electri-
cal engineer of this city and pretty
Annie Bogue were not published on
Sunday last, the reason being that
the fair maid, betimes had tripped off
to Jersey City with Douglas Daniels,
the Mamaroneck, and married him.
1t was Richard Bogue, the young
woman's father, fire commissioner
of New Rochelle, who stopped the
banns on Sunday.
He went to Father Mclaughlin, rec
tor of the Church of the Blessed Sac
rament in that city just before the
early mass and told him that the
names of his daughter and William
Frederick must not be read from the
altar because she was already wife.
Father Mclaughlin listened In sur
prise as Bogue told the story of the
preceding twenty-four hours. AS the
affianced of Frederick, who is in the
employ of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad company, she
left her fathers house in fashionable
Neptune Park on Saturday morning
early. She was to have met Frederick
at the Grand Central station upon the
arrival of the 9:45 o'clock train, and
they were to have spent the day pur-
chasing the furnishings for their hon
eymoon apartment in Harlem.
But the tickle Annie, contrary to
her fathers and mothers belief, evil
IDENTIFY had no intention of keeping the
sp&r tn1r
The 9:45 train arrived without her
and when the 10:45 came along and
she was not among its passengers
Frederick, who had grown tired Of
cooling his heels. telephoned to the
,Bogue home to find out the cause of
her non-appearance.
Parents Began to Suspect.
Neither Bogue nor Mrs. Bogue could
explain what had become of their
daughter. Frederick's inquiry aroused
their suspicious. Mrs. Bogue discov-
cred that her daughters dress suit
case was not in its accustomed place.
Then she found that other articles be-
longing to the young woman were
missing.
In the midst of the misery and mys-
terry which fell upon the house be-
cause of Annie's disappearance this
telegram, dated at Jersey City, was
delivered.
Il have married Duke. Letter will
follow"
There was no mystery as to the
identity Of Duke" for he is no other
than Douglas Daniels, who is employ
ed In the Port Chester offices of the
New York Telephone company, OF
which his father-in-law is the division
Daniels father is a.
well-to-do florist in Mamaroneck.
Frederick Is @Out of Town"
The letter which their eloping
daughter promised would follow her
telegram had not reached the .Bogue
home last night. Bogue said that he
had no comment to make on his
daughters action, and that when she
returned to New Rochelle she could
speak for herself.
Poor Frederick was said by his
friends to be 'tout of town.
The Bogue family had planned that
their daughter should marry Freder-
lick on Thanksgiving eve. 1t was to
have beeh = brilliant ceremony, fol-
lowed by q big reception. Bogue Is
well-to-do and for years has been q
captain In the famous Neptune Fire
company, which includes 80 many
wealthy men among its members.

IN CONTEMPT
Arkansas Railroad Commission Cross
ed COurt'S Wire

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 20-Judge
Trieber of the federal court today
held that the state railroad commits
sion had been guilty of contempt Of
court in issuing its order prohibiting
the application of the new railroad
rates and instructing Prosecuting At
torney Campbell to bring penalty
suits against the Iron Mountain and
Rock Island railroads.
Judge Trieber held that prohibiting
the new rates without making other
rates, served to re-establish the old
commission rates, at least temporarily
and was thus in violation of the fed
eral injunction.
The commissioners and Prosecuting
Attorney Campbell, who was also in
cluded in the citation for contempt
were given until Monday before final
action will be taken by the court. This
is to allow an appeal if desired.

by the overlooking of the cages.
