TWO VICTIMS OF
PIRATES RECOVER
Missionaries Refuse to Leave
Chinese Stations With the
British Relief Party

PEKING, March 2e.-Further news
has reached here Of the attack made
upon three Americans by Chinese
pirates near Fushan, province OF
Szechuen, on March %, when Bert
Hicks of Oshkosh, Wis, was killed and
Philip Hoffman of Ohio and A N Shell
don of California were wounded. The
American legation today received a dis
patch that Hoffman and Sheldon were
recovering.
A telegram from Sianfu, province of
Shensi, signed by Robertson, Young and
Shorrock, missionaries, says that they
refused to comply with the summons of
the British legation to depart from
Sianfu with the relief expedition that
left there recently. All other foreigners
accompanied the expedition. Young's
wife is an American. She and Mrs.
Shorrock remain with their husbands.
General Sheng Yum, who was march
ing on Peking with 10000 troops, has
refused to negotiate with President
Yuan Shi Kai's emissaries. He has been
compelled to retire, however, because
his Mohammedan allies have agreed to
peace. The situation at Sianfu is criti-
cal, the regiments that were dispatched
there from Peking having mutinied.
Two parties OF foreigners, for the
most part missionaries. of whom four
are Americans, are leaving Kansu. The
first party has started but the road
to Peking is extremely dangerous.

tional convention who were
opposed in II congressional districts
of New York state at today's pri-
maries by candidates named by
Roosevelt supporters was claimed an
hour after the polls had closed to-
night by state and county chairmen.
In the primary elections in this
city most of the contests were made
chaotic by one of the worst ballot
mixups known for many years, and
returns from the election were de-
layed
William Barnes Jr., chairman of the
republican state committee, claimed at
10 o'clock that the opposition "by the
highest possible estimate" would not
win more than seven out of the ninety
seats in the national convention to
which New York state is entitled.
No statement on the result had been
issued from the Roosevelt headquarters
two hours after the polls closed.
County Chairman Koenig claimed a
victory in his own district by a vote of
$50 to 10 and declared that the returns
from about 10 per cent of the election
districts indicated a ratio of voting Of
about eight to one against the. opposf-
ton He claimed the election of or
ganization delegates in every district.
The primaries opened at o'clock
amidst great confusion, owing to the
delay in delivering the ballots in many
voting districts.

ment Detachment

JIAENEZ Mex, March 26.-The final
phase of the five days battle between
government and revolutionary forces
terminated tonight, to all appearances,
in the defeat of the federals.
The main force of federals was de-
feated. at Corralitos yesterday. Today,
in spasmodic fight beginning in the
morning and terminating at dark, a
column of federals sent against the
rebel base at Jimenez( was defeated in
fight three miles outside the city
limits. The government column which
was repulsed was a detachment sent
out last night in an endeavor to out
flank the insurrectos and take the base
at this city.
The federals were led by General
Aubert, who apparently was ignorant of
the defeat of the main body of his army
at Vorralitos. They attacked Hacienda
Dolores, which was defended by 1000
liberals with three rapid f1rers and two
field pieces.
General Pasqual Orozco. the rebel
commander in chief, arrived at II
o'clock from Chihuahua with reinforce
inents.
The rebels were fully aware of the
federal movement, and without an
enemy in front formed in force here
and drove back the advancing Maderis-

and acting head of the secret service,
in the following terms:
Il do not understand why you do not
afford to secret service men all facil-

is a necessity. 1 hope that hereafter
there will be no cause for complaint
against your Office in this regard"

The opinion to Spaulding included the
following excerpt from an instruction
to jury delivered by Judge J. w Barr
of the United States district court OF
Kentucky:
IF the jury finds that defendants did
not use more force than was necessary
to procure the photographs they should
find for the defendants, and that the
defendants had right to take crimi-

mode known to art to take descrip-

CaIifornians Awake

The California members are aware of
this plan and have formed a combina-
tion in the fun committee which will at
least force that committee to consider
carefully the proposal to abolish the
San Francisco mint before risking de-
feat on the floor.
If the committee decides to support
the subcommittee on that item the
Californians will carry the fight to the

other states who are affected by the

and a battle royal will follow.
1t is significant that despite Speaker
