CAIRO, ILL.,, Nov. 11.-William
James, a negro suspected of being
the murderer of Miss Annie Pelley,
was killed here tonight by a mob.
James was strung up to the public
arch, when the rope broke, and at
least 500 bullets were SRpured into
his body. He made a partial con-
fession, duplicating another negro
named Arthur Alexander, and the
mob has gone out to look for the
latter.
James was lynched in the most
prominent square in the city, being
hung to the arch at Eighth and
Commercial streets. Women who
were present were the first to pull
on the rope. When it broke the
fury of the mob was uncomfortable,
and they fired volley after volley
into the body, literally shooting it
to pieces. The mob then dragged
the body over the streets for more
than mile to the scene of the mur-
der, where it was buried.
AT least 10000 people witnessed
the lynching. James was found
with Sheriff Davis between Karnak
and Belnap by the crowd from
Cairo. The sheriff was overpowered
and thes negro captured, and after a
conference it was decided to bring
him to Cairo and lynch him here.
Fully 10000 people went in
search of the negro. When they re-
turned the mob was met by at least
10000 more. They marched direct
to the arch, sweeping everything be-
fore them. Many women assisted
| in the work
Sheriff Davis pleaded for the life
of the negro, but without avail. To
night the sheriff said that he de-
plored the lynching and that he had
made every resistance in his power
but he was met by the mob and re-
fused assistance wherever he went
Before the body was buried il
was burned in the presence of TO-
900 people, who danced in glee.

after that of Will James, the negro
earlier in the evening.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-THE
discovery was made today that two
of the three Chinese killed last
night met death through mistaken
identity, one of them not being a
member of the On Yick tong, as
supposed by his asailants, but a
member of of the Bing Kongs, the
most powerful and influential tong
on the coast, and one other, accord
ing to the police, apparently having
been killed by gun men employed by
their own clan. The issuance of
warrants charging Gee Kong Ong,
president of the On Yick tong, and
Tong King Chong, secretary of the
Chinese Free Masons, numerically
the strongest organization among
the Chinese in America, were among
the developments of the day.
Tong King Chong is the editor
of the Chinese Daily Free Press, the
organ of the Chinese revolutionists

influential member of the Chinese

standing reward of $4,000.
1t is not claimed that either Ong
or Chong fired any of the fatal shots
but members of the Yee family al
lege that they were instrumental in
the instigation of the murders.
Should the Bing Kongs join in
the fight from motives of revenge
in reprisal for the death of one of
their members last night, the coast
will be threatened with the greatest
tong war it has ever known.
Nearly half hundred uniformed
patrolmen, plain clothes men and
detectives are patrolling the streets
and alleys in the Chinese quarter
tonight in an effort to prevent
continuation of the tong war which
has cost five lives since the first of
the month. The stores and dwell
lings of the members of the Yee
family and of the On Yick tong men
are closed, and the diminished num-
Der of Chinese on the streets indi-
Gates that there is tension in the
quarter and it is the belief that the
gun men are simply biding their OPP
portunity to renew the blood feud.

In taking Salzner from the jail
the mob found considerable difficulty
in battering down the door of the
steel cage in which the prisoner was
confined, but after half an hour of
hammering with a sledge hammer,
the door gave way and Salzner was
taken out. When the prisoner was
being dragged through the streets he
begged piteously for his life, but
his appeals were met by cries and
blows from the mob.
When Salzner was asked for his
last statement, a stranger in the
crowd stepped forward and said he
believed Salzner was innocent, when
the mob fell upon him, struck and
kicked him and finally knocked him
down and it was only by hard work
that the cooler heads in the mob
saved his life. He was compelled to
beg for mercy, and to announce in
a loud voice that Salzner was guilty
and should be lynched, after which
he was driven from the mob.
After Salzner was hanged and
while the body was being riddled
with bullets, the rope broke and the

THE TARIFF bill
NEARING THE END
Its Consideration in Senate May Be
Finished This Week.
4 GENERAL CLEANING UP NOW
There Are Several important Pro.
visions TO Be Considered and
Time Of Final Vote ls
ProbIematical.

Washington, June A4.-Tae feeling
in all factions in the senate is thai
the tariff bill is approaching the last
days Of its consideration In TIE senate
Senator Aldrich Is hopeful that the
end may be reached by next Saturday
and many Of the conservative Rephb-
llcans, as well as many Of the Demo
Gratis are inclined to agree with this
prediction. The Progressive Repub-
licans" are not quite so optimistic,
but Senator Beveridge is Of opinion
that the Anal vote will not be post
poned beyond the end Of next week.
The income tax amendments to the
bill will be taken up for consideration
on Friday and vote may be reached
on the proposition the some day. 1t
is possible, however, that efforts may
be made to secure still further post
ponement of vote. The week will be
devoted to general cleaning up.
With the exception of one disputed
point In the silk schedule, the senate
last week concluded its second consid-
Grafton OF the bill and disposed OF all
paragraphs of the schedules on which
the committee had reported. Among
the questions not acted upon in COM
mittee were many disputed points, but
there will be an effort to clean them
up rapidly and 1t is believed that
comparatively little time will be taken
on any Of them. Among the more
important provisions still to be con-
sidered, are those pertaining to lum-
Der, wood pulp, print paper, hides,
coal, zinc, window glass, scrap iron,
cotton ties, cotton bagging, leather,
leather goods, binding Irvine and pc
troleum. i
Rough lumber remains on the duti-
able list, but the question of the
amount of duty and the differential
between the duty on rough lumber and
on the manufactured article remain to |
be settled. In the paper schedule, the |
principal items to beconsidered are
the duty on ground wood and print |
paper. 1t seems probable the |
ground wood, or pulp, will be left free,
but that the rate on paper will be
made "a per ton instead of 81 as fixed
BY the house, and So as in the pres
mt law. This provision will be left
Jpen as long as possible to permit
senator Hale, who has been absent
because Of illness, to be present when
ne subject comes up. He will stand
tut staunchly for stlf duty on all Of
hese articles. Hides, coal, and petrc-
cum are glnving the finance commit
zee no little concern, but the present
Indications are that the senate will
,lace a duty on all Of these articles.
