Gently signed Japanese treaty,
the statsmen of China privately do
not disguise their fear that the agree

They express the fear privately. how

closing of the door to that province
by the two signatory powers.
That the status quo, so far as China
Is concerned, will be further compli-
Gated at the first attempt of Russia
and Japan to bar Chinese merchants
from Manchuria, is the general opin-
ion. Such a step would unquestion-
ably be followed by serious rioting on
the part of the Chinese. The hope of
China in the present crisis Is that she
will be able to conclude an alliance
with England and the United States
on a concerted policy Of blocking the
designs Of Russia and Japan. China
also hopes Germany can be persuaded

lived. A short distance from the
house he sprang on Mrs. Gibson.
She fought desperately but the ne
gro stabbed her with a knife. Her
little brother heard the cries and
ran to help her. The negro drew a
razor and slashed the lad.
Walker left the woman dying and
the boy severely wounded and went
to the cottage of Jesse Brown, col,
ored. He opened the window and
fired at Brown, severely wounding
him. Then, at the point of his re-
volver, he forced Mrs. Brown to
leave the house and accompany
him, and fed toward a swamp.
A mob gathered when the story
of the attack became known and
followed Walker. He was found to-
day hiding in the swamp. The
Brown woman was not with him.
It is not likely there will be any
race trouble here.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 1t IS
rumored here today that Governor
Stubbs, of Kansas City, has formed
a coalition with the regulars and
has agreed to support them in to-
morrows primaries in return for
their support of the governor. The
report has caused great surprise
here, as Stubs was regarded as an
out and out insurgent. Stubbs has
aided the insurgent candidates for
congress. 1t is now reported that h.
has agreed to help Anthony and the
other regulars. Stubbs claims he
will carry the election by 10000.
Tom Wagstaff, who is opposing
Stubbs, claims the victory by 49,

It is believed here that at least
three of the regulars will be de-

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS

st. Louis Mo-, Aug. 1.-Republi-
cans and Democrats are preparing
for the primaries tomorrow in
which state and congressional nomi-
nations will be made. In only one
district-the 14th-is insurgency a
distinct issue. There Congressman
Grow, stand-patter, is opposed by
David w. Hill. In the fourth and
eighth districts the Republicans have
no candidates in the field. The
Democrats have candidates in every
district.
The Democrats are most interest
ed in the elections here. They pre-
diet that the vote will be unusually
heavy and they believe the Demo-
cratic vote will show a relative in
crease. In many of the districts it
is said the vote will approximate
the full vote of the party.
Interest in Missouri politics, the
Democratic leaders say, has been
keen since the tariff question came
up and they point to the unusually
heavy vote at the special election in
the sixth district, when Congressman
Dickinson was elected to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of David
A. Dearmond, to prove their asser-
ton that the Democrats are deeply
interested in the political situation
and are hopeful of victory.
