viceroY's Word Is Law.

New York, Sept. 9. If the viceroy of Cheng Tu has asked the foreign residents to leave, Dr. H. L. Canright, who has been a medical missionary there for twenty-five years, said to- day they must comply, even though leaving means a long, difficult journey through a country infested with robbers.
 Dr. Canright is here on a visit The foreiqn colony in the province in western China num- bers barely 100 and the nearest foreign warships are at Chung King, 500 miles away.
 At the same time Dr. Can right does not believe foreigners lives are in danger, although an anti-foreign uprising might re suit in loss of their property. If the danger becomes acute, he said, the British, French and German gunboats at Chung
 King might send marines in small boats up the Yangtse Kiang to Kia Ting, within 100 miles of Cheng Tu to meet re fugees coming down the river

At the Pablo Hotel, where he stopped, the dead man had lived several months, having little to do with other guests.

 Some suspicious were aroused when it was seen he destroyed all records of his idenity and left the mere fact that he was Captain J. H. Pond on the hotel register.

 IN DANGER
FEAR FOR SAFETY OF ONE HUN DRIED FOREIGNERS IN RIOT SECTION OF CHINA.
Have Been Ordered by Vi ceroy to Leave and Start Through Most
 AntiForeign Section of ff China.

Picking, Sept. For three days no message has been re- ceived from the hundred for eigners who gathered at Chong Tu, capitol of Sze Chuen pro- vince, for safety from the mobs which have been running riot in the surrounding districts for sometime.
 The Chinese viceroy ordered the foreigners to leave the city and it is believed they are now making their way toward the Yangtse Kiang River, which is about 300 miles by cart or river through a country where anti foreigner placards have been posted for many weeks.
 It is understood the fugitives are under the escort of Chinese troops, but it is considered ques- tionable if these troops would oppose their oown people should an attack be made upon the foreigners
 The Americans among the refugees number thirty. With the exception of a representative of an American tobacco com pany, all are Methodist or Bap- tist missionaries. Placards, which have been posted in many places, state that some foreign bankers have been enriching themselves on the poverty stricken Chinese.
 The most influential Chinese newspapers in Picking give un- qualified support to the agita- tion in the provinces, and peti- tions have been presented to the throne asking that the railway program be recinded and that the provinces be permitted Ito construct the lines which have been projected by the govern ment, with the aid of foreign capital.
 The flood situation in China is the most serious in years. From Hankow comes reports that troops are driving the flood refugees from the cities. The English papers in Shanghai say
 We suppose. that half the population of the Yanktse Val ley must be supported through the coming winter or starve. Probably this is the most appal- inc disastrous in the history of China"

money it certainly is to the bene ficiaries of favor tariff. The The consumers of the country were entitled to at least partial immediate relief. This congress gave and the president took away. His tenderness was all for the few who profit by the present excessive rates.
 He hardened his heart to the multitude who are compelled to pay the exhorbitant prices which include ther::."
 Not content with calling the majority in congress unscienti- fic, incompetent and ignorant, " continued Governor Harmon. Though in his vetoes, he did so in parliamentary phrase, the president now in public speeches charges them with insincerity, employing the ruder language of the stump. He says they we're playing politics.
 'vrhis gives me a fellow-feel- ing for Messrs Clark and Under wood and their associates" said the governor. He declared the republican general assembly in Ohio endeavored to discredit his administration by smothering or defeating measures he advo- cated until finally he, too, was charged with playing politics.
 Governor Harmon arraigned the administration and it's ad- herents along this line and fin ally sent this message to the democratic legislators in the National capitol for their eff forts in behalf of tariff reform.
 Let our friends in congress take heart, for if what they have done is playing politics." the people will cry go on with the game"
 The speaker, ending his ad- dress with a reference to a de- hand from some quarters that he tariff be taken out of poli- ics declared that President Taft missed the best opportunity here ever was" by refusing to sign bills to reform the tariff which were passed by a demo- cratic house and republican senate, "obeying the command If enormous popular majorities Q which men of both parties contributed"
 But the tariff will never be aiken out of politics" said the speaker, "so long as it is to be prostituted for a private gain md those who get, or wish to get, the gain can control the or ganization of one of the great parties. For the voters will al ways use the other party for their defense and the conflict will go until it is settled whether privileged classes or the people shall rule, for those who rule a country in whose behalf taxing power is employed"

EVEN IN THE SHADOW OF THE
 ELECTRIC CHAIR HE RETAINS | HIS coMPosuRT.
Denounces Verdict as Unfair and as Trial of His Relations With Reulah Binford Rather
 Than Murder.

Chesterfield Courthouse, Va, Sept. 9. Thought of impending doom death in the electric chair on Nov. 24, did not break the steel bound composure of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., today, as he spent his first day in cell here convicted of the murder of his wife.
 In a matter of fact way he discussed the case with his friends who called to express sympathy, but to the newspaper men he bitterly denounced the verdict as unfair.
 Expecting that Judge Watson would not order his removal to the state penitentiary for seve- ral days, young Beattie began to make his cell more habitable. His window faces the country road and from it he can view all Chesterfield in it's simple still mess. Newspapers, particularly those which feature sports, were sent to him today and on these ne fingered as he did during chose 58 minutes yesterday after noon when twelve men were de- ciding his fate.
 Beulah Binford his relations with whom shocked the jurymen l was a frequent name on Beattie's lips today, but she probably never before received from him such a deep condem- nation.
 Time and again he complain. ed that the jury tried him for his relations with the girl of the underworld, rather than up- on the circumstantial testimony pertinent to the tragedy.
 A white haired man rode out to the jail today, jostled over three miles of rough road from he nearest interurban station. It was Henry Clay Beattie. Sr., father of the young man. As he entered the dim chamber where his convicted son stood, he pressed kiss on his fore head.
 It was at this moment, as in previous moments in sthe trial, that the fortitude of the boy crumbled and his face flushed, tears forced their way from his eyes down his pale cheeks.

Awful Death Rate.

New York, Sept. 9, Flood and famine in the Yang Tse Kiang Valley have claimed al least 5,000,O00 within the de cade, according to conservative computation of missionary societies and other authorities who have received authentic reports from the death ridden districts.
 In the famine of 1906-07 the most awful camp of which his tory has any record, was estab- lished out of the walls of an cient city of Tsing Kiang Pu, situated on the grand canal about 100 miles north of the Yang Tse River,
 There are 5,000,000 men, women and children herded into huts, made of mud. Despite the efforts made by well disposed foreigners thousands died every day and the death in that sec ton of the country nine months from October 1906 to July 1907, must have run to three quarters of million.
 Typhus and camp fever broke out there and at other camps and took it's toll of victims saved from starvation. Smallpox was always prevalent but became sort of matter of course.
 Vaccination always insisted on, prevented it's becoming an epidemic.
 A very large contingent of Chinese and influential foreign residents believe the greatest responsibility confronting them today is the solving of an en- gineering problem that will save the lives of the hundred and fifty millions, who inhabit the Yang Tse Valley and make pos +sible for continued human oc- cupation one of the richest ter ritories in the world.
 The constantly recurring floods are due partly to denu- dation of practically all tree life, as deforestation has been going on for hundreds of years. Huge dams hold the flood waters from reaching natural channels in many places and completely sub- merged millions of acres every time the Yang Tse, fed by the torrential rains in the noun tains gets on a rampage.
 The engineering problem re- ferred to are staggering. Here is territory 700 miles long and 200 wide that at periods recur- ring at least every three years is fully or partly flooded. Canals and reservoirs would seem to be the only remedy unless the great Yang Tse can be diked. At the time of the famine of 1906-O7, 2,000 miles to the southwest in the province of Yunnan, thou sands died of starvation because of drouth and for these there seemed no salvation except such as could be given by local authorities, as Yunnan is at present one of the most isolated and difficult countries of the globe to reach.

HARMON IS
 AFTER TAFT
oHlo's GOVERNOR ATTACKS 20. SETON OF PRESIDENT ON
 TARIFF QUESTION.
His Course in vetoing Bills Indicate That H@I Has Been Reached by Wrong Advisers"
 Says Harmon.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 9 Presi dent Taft's attitude toward tariff reform was attacked by Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio tonight in a speech before the gathering of democratic clubs. Governor Harmon said that the presidents course in vetoing tariff bills passed by the special session of congress indicated that he had been reached by wrong advisers. " Speaking of the presidents ob- jections to those bills he said:
 These and other marks of paternity suggest the question whether the vetoes may not have been adopted offspring, like the defense of Ballinger."
 "He needed no commission" said the speaker, "when he promised a general reduction be, fore his election, nor when he called the special session to keep the promise, nor when he signed the bill that broke the promise nor when he confessed that the woolen and cotton goods duties were too high, nor when he made the agreement with Can ada. His position is simply that those who by the trickery of tariff making have secured a license to impose exhorbitant prices on the American people shall go on doing it, in spite of the action of both houses of con- gress, until five men who are not responsible to the people, nor even experts, shall advise him how much these favor taxes ought to be reduced and how to do it scientifically. He ad- mits they are too high on these absolute and universal neeessi- ties of life, but he fears these bills may have cut them too much. All men, women and children in the land must con- tinue to suffer an admitted wrong which affects health and comfort rather than run any risk of causing too much shrink age in profits made excessive by law. The people must not even have the benefit of the doubt.
 'If the present tariff charges had been fixed merely without proper knowledge and skill it could we'll be said that an un- scientific remedy is good enough for an unscientific wrong, especially when those who apply the remedy have the advantage of dealing with actual results while those who did the wrong acted only on conjecture.
 But the Payne Aldrich- Shoot had far worse sire than ignorance. And it is a reflec tion on our plan of government to say that the fragrant iniqui- ties of that law shall go on defy ing good sense, common know ledge and honest purpose until a commission without legal res possibility or authority shall decide how the duly chosen law making body may deal with them.
 T believe in the veto power. But for the president to defeat the action of congress, especially when it follows the plain man date of the country, merely be cause he is not certain about it himself and wants to wait for somebody else to advise him, Is a new and perilous departure from wise design of the consti tuition.
 We have had tariff commis- sions before, but none of then ever accomplished anything buf delay. And if ever time i:
