daunted by the action of the democrats
OF the house rules committee in voting
against reporting rule to provide for
congressional investigation of the

Representative Keating of Colorado,
today circulated petition for demo

as a matter Of party policy. Mr..
keating represents the district in
which the strike is being carried on
and has urged action for weeks.
He declared today that the matter was
too vital to rest with individual men,
.bers of the committee.
Supporting this attitude, Represen-
tative Hill Of Illinois, has introduced a
resolution directing the speaker Of the
house to appoint committee Of five
members to investigate conditions in
Colorado to ascertain whether there
has been any interference with the
rIafls or with the immigration laws
and whether the mining operators have
coerced the employees and combined in

Mayville, N. Y, Jan. 19-The siege

RAvAGING PROVINCE Or
HONAN-SoLDlERs AID.

Hankow, China, Jan. 19.-Dr. Lille
gard, a missionary of the American
Lutheran mission, was wounded in
one arm on January 16 in the course
of fighting at Kwang Chow in the pro-
vince of Honan. An army of bandits
under the white Wolf" who have
been devasting that district on that
date captured and looted Kwang
Chow.
During the fighting Mrs. Mason and
Mrs. Smith, escorted by Mr.. Mason,
another missionary, abandoned the
mission house and took refuge in a
farm house belonging to native
Chinese Christians.
The brigands are now ravaging the
southeastern portion of Honan pro-
vince in the same way as they have
done the southwestern district for
some time past.
The regular troops do not appear to
offer any serious resistance to the
bandits. In fact, the troops sent out to
pursue them and to recapture Kwang
Chow, sent messengers in advance to
warn the bandits, deliberately per-
mitting them to escape.

not expressed any opinion, as had
been reported, on the propriety of in
creasing freight rates.
He said, however, that while he held
distinctive views on the question he
did not feel that he could express
them while the subject was being de-
termined by semi-judicial body.
With reference to the tariff, the
presidents letters led him to believe
that business actually has been stimu-
lated by it and that the average small
merchant is in better condition now
than formerly.
