yards outside the city.
A number of teams were backed
into the river this morning with drays
and the wood thrown from the barges
into the wagons. The cargo was a
valuable one, wood coming high these
days and selling at the regular price
per cord would bring the consigners
aSpretty figure.
The Gardie Eastman arrived at
about 3: 80 and returned down stream

Rheumatic
Pains
My mother is great suf-
terer from rheumatism, and DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her"
MRS. 6. DAVENPORT,

The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
Dr.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence OF
pain, which SO frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do rotsderange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

NEW YORK Aug. 15.-The develop

While there was some momentary
disappointment over the sharp dete-

maturer consideration, served to clinch
the argument that agricultural pros

CRv Assoclated Press.N


NEW YORK, Aug 15.-Chinatown
was excited today on discovery of the
murder Of the most beautiful of the
few Chinese women in New York, Bow
Kim, q years old, who came here from
san Francisco few years ago with
an Americanized Chinese, Chin Len, 81
years old.
Just as the usual Saturday night
revelry was queting down, Chin Len
dashed out of a tenement house at II
Mott street crying:
My woman has been murdered"
The street, filled with lettering Chi
nese and parties of American sight
seers." all of whom quickly recalled
the sensational murder of Elsie Sigel,
was thrown into excitement.
A policeman and detective hurried
into the house under Lens direction.
In a bedroom the murdered woman lay
on the floor, stabbed in half dozen
places. Her slender neck was ringed
with bloody marks, indicating a strug
gle with her assailant. and beside her
lay a hunting knife, covered with blood
stains.
1t was evident the woman had been
dead for two or three hours. On the
stairs We're found traces of blood and
also on the door leading to the store
of Yuen Chin & Co. on the ground floor.
Three Chinese were arrested, al
though they denied any knowledge of
the murder. Six American women who
declared themselves to be wives of
Chinese were found in the house and
arrested, but none would admit any
knowledge of Bow Kims death.
Lens account of himself was that
returning at o'clock in the morning
he found the body on the floor. No
formal charge has been preferred
against Len, but he is held in $4,000
bail as a material witness"

WIFE SEES HUSBAND
KILLED IN ACCIDENT
List of Dead Now Reaches Ten, but
It Is Not Believed Any of
the Many Injured
Will Die

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug
15.-With the death of c. NJ. McCreary
of Dallas, Tex, at the St Francis hos
pital this morning, the number of ia
talities run resulting from the Hustled
wreck on the Denver & Rio Grande yes
terday morning was increased to ten.
None of the injured, numbering close
10 two now in hospitals, is believed 10
believed to be i'm a critical condition.
Engineer Lessig, driver of the lead
engine on the northbound train, whose
passengers alone suffered death or seri-
Gus injury, disappeared Immediately
after the wreck, and it was feared for
a time that he had committed suicide.
He was found at his home in Denver
today. He appeared greatly worried
and offered no reply to questions re-
garding the cause of the accident
John Gossage, fireman for Lessig, was
the only one among the six engnemen
TO meet death. The wreck occurred
within sight of his home, and his wife,
who was standing in the doorway
watching the train go by, witnessed the
accident. She was among the first to
reach the scene.
OF the many features of the accident,
which served to prevent even greater
loss of life under the most agonizing
circumstances, none was more fOrtu-
nate. as it turned out, than that the
collision occurred on a curve.
This served to throw the engines to
each side of the track and the forward
coaches of the two trains, which were
the only cars derailed, were thrown to
the inner side of the curve.
The clouds of steam escaping from
the three engines as they lay in the
deep ditch east Of the track and the
heat of the unquenched fires in the en-
gine boxes wasted their destructive
force on the grass and weeds.

lures today in the work of the army

The original plans for a strenuous

the postponement of hostilities last
night. Every regimental headquarters,
however. tonight received marching or
ders and the indications pointed TO a
general advance before morning.
The first real move of the blue
army was taken early in the day when
two battalions of the Eighth infantry,

ment returned at 3 o'clock this after

The red army when it advances will

CUNARD VESSEL
FLAMES ORIGINATE IN KITCHEN
OF LUCANIA
STEAMER FLOODED TO CHECK

Comparatively Little Injury Is Done
to Exterior of Ship, Although
Interior Is Considerably
Damaged
[By Associated Prcss.l

LIVERPOOL, Aug. 15-The Cunard
line steamer Lucania lies submerged
tonight at the Husklsson dock, serious
ly damaged from fire that broke out
on board Saturday evening. The flames
are supposed to have originated in the
saloon kitchen.
The flames gradually worked forward
until they reached the steerage, con-
suming every particle of the woodwork,
and then played havoc with the fore
hold The heat was tremendous and
the flames, shooting high from the ves-
sci, attracted thousands of persons to
the river, where they remained
throughout the night.
At 3 o'clock this morning II was de-
cided to flood the vessel by admitting
water from the deck. Soon she heeled
over and her tunnels came i'm contact
with the Cranes dock and were badly
damaged. A half dozen firemen who
were on the gangway at this time
were thrown into the water, but all
were rescued. A fleet of tugs pulled
the liner upright and held her until
she settled finally on the mud bottom.
1t was 10 o'clock this morning before
the fire was under control.
The second class quarters and the
whole after part of the boat, including
the engine room, escaped injury, and
comparatively little damage was done
to the exterior of the vessel.
Her upper part is considerably above
water. The first saloon skylghts were
destroyed and the decks forward badly
buckled. Some of the hull plates were
warped by the heat.
Late tonight the Lucania was re-
f1oated with the aid of salvage tugs and.
powerful pumps. She will be dry
docked and towed to Glasgow for re-
pairs.

CHINA DECIDES
TO BUILD ROAD
WILL CONSTRUCT RIVAL LINE
TO AN TUNG RAILWAY
MILITARY ACTIVITY SEEN IN
JAPAN AND MANCHURIA
Vigorous Measures Undoubtedly Will
Follow Determination of Nippon
ese to Reconstruct Railroad
from Korea to Chen Tao
LEY Associated Press.l

VICTORIA, r. c., Aug. 15.-There
was much military activity both in
Japan and Manchuria when the En-
press of India, which arrived yester-
day, left Japan, all in consequence of
Japan's determination to rebuild the
An Tung- Mukden railroad. Meanwhile
a further cause of trouble has deVel-
oped as a result of China's determina-
ton to build a rival line through Man
Churia to connect Korea via Chen Tao,
the Island Tumen, regarding whose
ownership China and Japan are still
involved, with KILN on the Chinese
section of the Manchurian railroad.
Japan some time ago offered to con-
cede China's right to Chen Tao ii
the Chinese government would agree
to the building of this road by Japan,
but China herself is determined on
building it. The Chinese terminal of
the line will be Hunchun, on the north
side. of the Tumen, near the Russian
frontier.
From this point the road will bs
carried to Chen Tao and branches
built thence in two directions, one
leading to Niguta, the other northwest
to KILN via Omoso, giving more con-
venient access to KILN and Mukden
than that furnished by the An Tung-
Mukden road over which the two coun-
tries are in dispute. The reconstruc-
ton of the An Tung- -Mukden railroad.
begun by Japan, will require two and
a half years and cost SIS, 100000. Rails
made in Japan will be used exclusively.
Further Trouble Arises
Further trouble has arisen in Chen
Tao between the Chinese and Japan
ese. due to alleged arbitrary actions
by Japanese officials. Advices We're
received in Japan of the dispatch Of
Chinese troops to Chen Tao and there
was clamor that Japanese troops be
sent The movement followed the
killing of Chang, Chinese official, by
q Japanese military officer in yamen
at CHEN Tao, which has greatly in
censed the Chinese. The Japanese, it
is said, was forcing his way into the
yamen, and a Chinese demanded to
know his business.
The officer drew his sword and, in
furiated, struck at the Chinese, cutting
his ear off other Chinese sprang up
and tried to force the door shut and
bar it. one of them, Chang, being shot
and killed by the Japanese.
