JOHN T. CAMPBELL WRITES To the Indianapolis Star What May Be the Results Veteran Soldier Says Americans Must Appear to Foreigners as a Nation Of Hypocris An enemy It It is not easy to forecast the great movements of mankind. We have the recorded facts of the migration, invasions, expulsions and amalgamations of great masses of mankind, but the motives that prompted and inspired them are but little more certain than brale guesses. It is difficult to read the future. Judging the future by the past,—such of it as we understand—as there were great movements of men in the past, so will there be in the future. If we make a brave guess about future great movements, and by chance guess right, then we are profits but it is well to judge both past and future in the liget of tee present. How often we see a great present movement with a well-defined motive at the start end with the motive so greatly modified as to be an entirely different one. Take the great civil war in the United States. All along the great quarrel that led up to it, the chintention of the ultimate secessionists was for the eight to carry slavery into new territory. When they began to realize how difficult it would de to hold even the territory they then had, they gradually took up the contention for the right of a State to withdraw faom the Union. On the part of the United States Government, the contention at first was the mere maintenance of the Union; but how different at the conclusion. Now that the Union has been maintained so far as land boundaries are concerned and commercial relations have been knitted into a homogeneous whole, the North has abandoned all interest in the welfare of the Negro, a hundred and eighty thousand of whom helped to win the victory and the south has successfully cramPed him back into his 'sntebellum condition politically and socially, and still call themselves 'Confederates' and the North who a few years ago reffered to them as 'Rebels' now with reverent, uncovered head, refers to them as 'Confederates,' and the Negro as damned 'niggers.' On this basis I am going to make a brave guess, and possibly a prophesy. In the ex-slave States there are now abour nine millions of Negroes. They are so treated, and long have been by their white neighbors, that a hatred between the blacks and whites is constantly near the point of explosion. The whites are compactly organized and have carried their provocation to a point where they dare not relax teeir vigilance. The blacks too have learned much and are learning. They too have their secret organizations all through the "black belt." Each succeeding generation of Negroes is harder to whip than its, predecessor. Even during the Civil War the ignorant slavea had a surprising knowledge of the military situation. So far as I could see they knew it as well as did the whites who reed the papers. How they acquired that knowledge was a mystery to me, for their white masters did not inform. But they had it from some source. One day in early Helena, Montana, Friday, July 1907 August, 1862, at Baton Rouge, La., I was field officer one day. We were expecting an attack, and had five hundred Negroes cutting a hillside so as to form a precipice. They had cast the dirt up hill as far as they could with shovels, and were then casting it down. I came along above them, and was looking down on them. They were talking quite lively about "Massa Lincum" and "Massa Jeff Davis" and "Massa Lee" and "Massa McClellan." At last one looked up and saw me, and he gave three distinct raps on his shovel handle with his knuckles, and others took up the tapping, and I could hear it repeated along the line of Negroes for a hundred feet each way. After a few minutes I asked, "Boys, how would you like to be soldiers?" Nobody answered. I asked again, and directed my question to a large fellow who had been talking very lively a few minutes before. He answered, "I don't know, sah." I got enough of their talk to learn that McClellan was crowding Richmond pretty hard. The papers from the North had not yet reached us, as they came by a chance steamer from New York, and when they came they confirmed what I heard these Negroes saying to each other. McClellan was then the nearest he ever got to Richmond. They were working hard and talking as they worked. They were working to help the Yankees in whose cause they believed. There was not an idler among them. Later on, these ignorant Negroes made first-class soldiers when they ably commanded. The Negroes of today will make as much better soldiers than those of the Civil War in the proportion that their intelligence is greater. Their numbers have doubled since 1860. Of the present number, at least a million good hardy, brave soldiers can be enlisted in a cause that shall command their enthusiasm. Our people seem blind to the fact that they are developing a most formidable enemy in their own midst. Wars are precipitated very suddenly sometimes. During our Civil War, by the unauthorized act of Captain Wilkes in taking Mason and Slidell off the British merchant ship Trent, a course which Britain had long practiced and against which we had long protested, we were within forty-eight wars of war with Britain. When we took up the practice (apparently) Britain came down hard with a war-cry protest. Lincoln surrendered the men on condition that it should be a governing precedent for the future. Seward advocated accepting war, but Lincoln replied "One war at a time, gentlemen." President Cleveland put us very close to war with Britain about the Venezuelan boundary. Our war with Spain was precipitated suddenly. Who could have guessed the political changes that resulted from Napoleon sending his ambassador to Berlin to insult King William and provoke the Franco-Prussian War? When we forced, as it were, a treaty with Japan during Filmore's administration, San Francisco, Cal., was but a Spanish village Who in that day would have guessed that the Spanish village in ftfty five years would have grown to such magnitude that it would violate and defy the American--Japanese trenty? But here we are, and by the record we re wrong. Japan is not intensely pleased with the situation, and our people are not disposed to conciliate her. We have grown so rapidly and so wealthy that we have become a nation of droud flesh,--too rapidly grown to be solid. We are in- clined to thrust our bulk against all outside hostility. So was Russia in her contest with Japan. * * * Just now we are on good terms with Britain; both nations have some old scars healed by time, but they are easily bruised and liable to subsequent irritation. Britain once declared war against Spain about Jenkins' ear, which had been cut off by a Spanish captain thirty years before (Carlyle). Britain did not want a war with Spain when the ear was cut off, but thirty years later she did, and that ear was unrolled from its camphor and cotton, and furnished a cut and dried pretext. Who knows how soon some old dry ear may be unwrapped as a pretext to resettle many past grievances? Our steal of Oregon was fair, but it was a steal, sanctioned only by a majority of one, with many British votes within call, but not notified in time to prevent snap judgment? Neither nation was satisfied with the British-American (Canadian) boundary. Well, in brief, suppose the two nations find themselves at war? Britain twice armed the Indians against us. At those times it would cost more to arm and drill the Negroes than their services would be worth. Not so now. If the present-day Negroes should be offered a dependency government by Britain they would flock to that standard as iron filings to a magnet. The secession they helped to defeat of their masters they would help to win for themselves, and the Gulf States might successfully secede at last, as a Negro government. Suppose that a considerable number of our intelligent, courageous Negroes should go to Canada, Jamaica and England; and by legal process become British subjects as is contemplated by many of them, and should return on a visit to Charleston or Atlanta with British passports, and should be mobbed or lynched for refusing to give all the road or sidewalk to the "white trash" they chanced to meet. Britain and France gave General Butler much trouble at New Orleans by allowing rebels to take out British and French "papers." They then became the most insolent of rebels while claiming the rights of foreign neutrals. I have understood of late years that such papers were not regular nor legal, but Butler was a good lawyer and recognized them as legal, and Britain at that time was in a mood to unroll Jenkins' ear at us. What would she do in the case suggested? The United States has always given asylums to political offenders of European countries, and we cannot well object to being paid in our own coin when a like debt is due us. Suppose Japan should secretly employ the discharged and disgraced soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry to go through our Southern States and quietly organize the alienated Negroes to quietly meet at some place on our Pacific Coast to join a Japanese Army? Doubtless this could be forcibly prevented, and if not prevented it could be defeated. But it would be a troublesome problem. Could it not be much easier prevented by giving the Negroes cause to be patriotic rather than alien? Only those who have the confidence of the Negroes know how intensely bitter they feel about their treatment. As we have given the Japanese cause to feel the same way, it would not take long for them and our Negroes to fraternize. Our general treatment of the Negroes is so contradictory of our Declaration of Independence, and our theory of government that we must appear to foreigners as a nation of hypocrites. John T.

Henry Scutcheon, Living Near Munica, Michigan, Used the Ax With Horrible Results—Made an Attack on Neighbor and Was Shot to Death—Had Tried to Cut Throat. Nunica, Mich., July 22—Henry Scutcheon, a farmer about 50 years of age, living near this village, Sunday ran amuck with an ax, killing his invalid son, his wife and her foster father. ter Hobert. Scutecone was later shot by Henry McCielan, a neighbor, whom the crazed murderer had also attacked The dead: Henry. Scutecone. Henry Scutcheon. — Scutcheon, his 19 year old son. George Anning, Mrs. Scutcheon's faster father. The Scutcheon farmhouse had apparently always been a happy home, except for the cloud which the son's invalidism cast over the family. Sunday, with no warning, so far as is known. Scutcheon suddenly murderously attacked his son with an ax. He crushed the boy's head frightfully. When his wife interfered he turned on her and pursued the frightened screaming woman from the house to the road, where he knocked her down with his weapon. He then rushed back to the house and murdered his foster father in law. Next he tried to destroy himself. The maddened man gashed his throat and wrists with a razor and took some paris green. His wounds did not weaken him and the poison did not take immediate effect. Ax in hand, he returned to the road where he had felled his wife a few moments before. The first blow did not kill her and she had been carried into the house of Henry McClellan nearby. McClellan rushed to another neighbor's for help. When Seutcheon found that his wife was in the McClellan home alive he smashed a window with his ax, jumped through it and again attacked her. This time he crushed her skull. He then left the McClellan home and returned to his own house, but when Mr. McClellan returned from his search for help the crazed man came out and started toward him, saying: "I want you, too." "I will shoot if you come across the road," replied McClellan, who had armed himself with a shotgun. Despite the Warning, Seutcheon came across McClellan then shot him dead. BIG STEAMER KEELS OVER. Odd Disaster Befalls the Mammoth Kaiser Wilhelm II. Bremerhaven, Germany, July 23.—The North German Lloyd steamship Kaiser Wihelm II., while coaling suddenly listed. The water poured into her bunkers and boiler compartments through the open coal ports, and the vessel careened and lay on her side on the bottom. When the tide was low her bow rested on a bank, but with the rising of the tide she slipped from that position and keeled over. After some delay the steam pumps were set to work to free the vessel of the water. The cabins do not appear to be much damaged, as little water reached them, but the ship cannot be ready to sail, the company announces, for several days at the best LATE HEWS ITEMS. Three masked robbers held up North ern Pacific Agent H W. McGarrah monday night at Kamiah, Idaho, and compelled him to open the safe and give them $490, and then commanding him to remain quiet and make no outcry, they mounted their horses and rode away rapidly. James J. Hill has been asked to account for $100,000,000 which he, according to a complaint, "illegally acquired" as a personal profit out of the transaction by which the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railways secured control of the Barrington railroad, Arpil 20, 1901, says a suit filed in Ramsey county at St Paul. C. H. Venner, a stockholder, is the plainiff. Karl Han, a brilliant young lawprofessor of Washington, D. C., has been condemned to death at Karlshuhe, Germany, after five days' trial for the murder of his wife's mother, Frau Molitor, a wealthy resident of Baden Baden, in that city, November 6 last. The sentence is unpopular with the street crowds which have been demonstrating openly for several days in Han's favor and against the Molitor family. Dakota Cyclone Kills Three. Mitchell, S. D., July 22.—Reports have been received here of a very severe and destructive wind and rain storm which occurred at Woonsocket. The house belonging to a man named Atkinson, a carpenter, was caught by the heavy wind and blown over. Three persons who were in the house at the time were killed by the flying boards and being crushed beneath the building. Several other houses in Woonsocket were partially destroyed, but no other injuries are reported. A lot of men imagine that they know all about the financial question because they happen to know a man who lives next door to a bank. Roosevelt Grants Release—January Returns to Kansas City—Four-Year-Old Tot Thanks President for Papa. Fort Leavenworth, Kan.—William January, alias C. W. Anderson, for whose pardon a petition containing the signatures of 50,000 persons was presented to President Roosevelt three months ago, has been released from the federal prison here. Anderson will return to Kansas City, where he will engage in business. January was convicted 11 years ago of robbing an Oklahoma postoffice and sentenced to the penitentiary for three years. He escaped two years later and went to Kansas City, assuming the name of Anderson, and married In April this year an ex-convict who had known January in the penitentiary notified the warden of the man's whereabouts and he was rearrested and taken back to Leavenworth. Owing to the exemplary life Anderson had led in Kansas City his neighbors started a movement for his pardon. The newspapers took up the case with the result that a petition which is said to have contained the largest number of names ever appended to an appeal for a pardon was forwarded to Washington. President Roosevelt reviewed the case and upon request of Attorney General Bonaparte granted a pardon effective at the expiration of three months from the time of his arrest January will see restoration to citi zenship and will ask to have the name of Anderson legalized. Charles W. Anderson reached Kansas City a few hours after his release at Leavenworth and went directly to his home, where a family reunion was held. Later, when a newspaper man called, he found the little group radiant with happiness. With his 4-year-old child on his knee, Anderson talked of himself. "I have no plans for the future," he said, "save that I will remain in this city." "My wife and baby are so glad to see me back, and it's like getting acquainted again," said he to the reporter. Asked about the report that he would engage in the pool hall business, Anderson said it was without foundation. "I would not be so ungrateful to the many who signed for me," he said. During the day the following message signed by Anderson's little girl, was forwarded to Washington: "Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States: Papa has come home to stay with mama and me. I'm so glad, and papa says he is, too. He says he is a good papa now." s a good papa now. "LUCILE ANDERSON." RIOT AGAIN IN SAN FRANCISCO Carriage Overturned and Man Hurt Starts Trouble; Car Is Badly Wrecked. San Francisco, July 22.—The attacking and shooting of a conductor and motorman Saturday night by three unknown men and the riot which subsequently followed, was followed Sunday night with more turbulence in the Mison street district. The immediate cause was an accident. While driving to the Mission theater with his family, a car struck the carriage of Charles Davis on Mission street, between Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth. The carriage was wrecked and Davis sustained a broken leg and other injuries. A crowd immediately gathered, almost wrecked the car and attacked Motorman Charles Evans. Policemen Furman and Beisel came to his rescue, and stood off the mob until a sergeant and 10 officers came down from the Mission street police station in response to a riot call. The police dispersed the crowd with their clubs. BARS UP AGAINST WOMEN. Male Secretaries Only for Male Bureau Chiefs. The women clerks of the agricultural department cannot hereafter act as private secretaries for the male chiefs of divisions or bureaus. This dictum, harsh as it may seem, stands as the law in that department. Secretary Wilson has issued it and he says he means business. The order is the direct result of the Holmes cotton scandal case, in which Mrs. Bertha Burch figured so prominently, testifying two weeks ago in the trial of Holmes. On account of her position in the office of the chief statistician of the department she became an expert in crop figures and now she is conducting a statistical bureau of her own in New York City. Col. Avres Retired. A lifetime experience as aighter of Indians and Filipinos, of guerilla warfare, did not prevent Lieutenant Colonel Charles G. Ayres from falling into an ambushade. Although the military board's recommendation for his retirement will not be made public officially until it is passed on by the secretary of war, high officials of the department are unanimous in the opinion that the colonel will be placed upon the retired list with little loss of time. The penalty is to be a relegation to a pension at the prime of his official life, and with no prospects of increasing honor before him. Pittsburg Heat Kids Nine. Pittsburg, Pa., July 21.-Nine deaths, one person insane and many prostrations were reported Saturday from the oppressive heat and high humidity. The temperature still hovers between 85 and 90 degrees. NORTHWEST STATES WASHINGTON, IDAHO, OREGON AND MONTANA NEWS. A Few Interesting Items Gathered From Our Exchanges of the Surrounding Country—Numerous Accidents and Personal Events Take Place—Crop Outlook Is Good. WASHINGTON NOTES. Spokane was the second city in the United States in increase of building permits for June, as compared with the same month in 1906. The cutting and binding of grain in the section east of Colfax has begun. The Colfax band has been reorganized. Tekoa has let the contract for a $13,000 brick high school building, to be completed by the first of November. Announcement has been made to the effect that work will be started soon on the erection of a new building at the state penitentiary for use as a jute mill. Mildred Marshall, the 2-year-old daughter of Fred Marshall, living near Spokane, fell into a tub of hot water and soon died from her scalding. Rev. John LeCornu, chaplain at the state penitentiary, has started the organization of a brass band among the convicts at the prison. Walla Walla valley growers want around 75 cents for their wheat. Four thousand sacks of barley was the yield of N. B. Atkinson's 115 acres near Waltsburg. The work of installing the machinery in the new Walla Walla cannery will be fully completed this week. The Walla Walla election, held July 8, was legal, according to a decision made by Judge T. H. Brents of the superior court in granting a writ of mandamus asked for by Chief of Police-elect Mike Davis to compel a canvass of the votes cast. This decision was made when the city did not show that any one was deprived of voting because the polls were kept open from 9 to 7 o'clock instead of 8 to 8 o'clock Cutting grain has begun near Pulman and Binders are running in many of the fields. On account of the unusually warm weather that has prevailed the past few days, the grain is ripening very rapidly and harvest will be in progress in another week or 10 days. Search for Richard Berry and Peter Leslie, the two prisoners who escaped from the Yakima county jail still continues. The cutting of fall wheat commenced in the Hooper section this week, with fine prospects for a good harvest and good weather. Plans perfected by Collector of Customs F. C. Harper for the relief of overtaxed facilities at the subport of Seattle, announced recently, a call for the transfer of Inspector John Harbor from Danville, Wash., to act as night inspector in Seattle. The Danville vacancy is filled with the appointment of W. L. Nutter, Spokane, as customs inspector. Company E of North Yakima won the Governor's cup for crack shooting at the regimental shoot at American lake. Ishmael Thomas, among the oldest pioneer settlers of Columbia county, died recently at his cabin, 14 miles east on the Patit, of heart failure, at the age of 82 years. While swimming with four friends in the Spokane river near Davenport Sunday afternoon, Marlin Parr, a 17 year old boy, suddenly sank and was drowned before help could be summoned. Pullman suffered the worst fire since that of 1890 at an early hour Saturday morning, when $40,000 worth of property burned. The fire was most spectacular. The Pacific Coast Elevator company is the heaviest loser, its loss being $10,000 on building, $1,600 on sacks and $900 on grain. The Standard Oil company's loss is between $7,00 and $8,000. Steware-Clure Hardware company lost $6,000 on building, twine, implements and hardware and had $4,000 insurance. IDAHO NEWS. While at work on the Northern Pacific bridge across Lapwal canyon, above Culdesac, Neal Jones, a laborer, who recently came from Duluth, Minn., missed his footing and fell to the bottom of the gulch, thirty feet below, sustaining injuries from which he died eighteen hours afterward. The business men of the town of Ilo, in Idaho, are moving their business places to a new location adjoining the new town of Vollmer. It is stated that 14 business houses besties two churches and a lumber yard will be moved. The first annual horse shown at Nez Perce while successful in point of attendance and in the harmony and good feeling created, served to open the eyes of the people to the fact that many good horses are raised on the prairie, and it is this fact that proved the feature of the show. The adoption of a sidehill disk on the large farm owned by the Kettenbach company, near Rosetta, is revolutionizing the plowing of steep sidehills. The ground is so steep it can not be plowed with a common breaker. An unprecedented rainfall for the month of July has been experienced in the Meadows valley. The hall storm of July 3, while doing severe damage in spots, will not materially lessen the yield of grain and fruit in the Troy section. Murray Gunn, one of the victims of William Curry, who shot and killed E. A. Peterson in a brawl in a card room at Kippen, is in the Lewiston jail, where he will be held as a witness against Curry. J. K. Castle has been arrested in Boise on a charge of cashing a forged check for $600 at the New Wilson hotel, at Salt Lake, on June 25. He is a salesman for Mayer, Wise & Co., of Cincinnati, manufacturers of novelties. Senator W. B. Heyburn, who is now in Wallace, accompanied by Mrs. Heyburn, after an indirect journey from Washington, D. C., still shows the effect of his recent illness, but hopes that by complete relaxation he will soon be as strong as ever. The officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad have reached the St. Joe country. President Earling and others left Montana and followed the right of way of the railroad, coming on horseback. Saturday morning John Hulback made a dive into the river off the St. Maries bridge and was drowned. It is supposed he struck a log or some other obstacle and was killed by the shock. OREGON SQUIBS. Five of the Pendleton city jail prisoners make a break for liberty and succeeded in getting away from Jim Hutchinson recently. Conditions in Umatilla county and throughout eastern Washington will be exceptionally good this year as a result of the big grain crop now about to be harvested, as well as other products. The wool clip from approximately 250,000 sheep has been marketed at prices ranging from 18 to 22 cents, while mutton sheep have been turned off after shearing at $3.50 to $4 a head. From present indications the big wheat crop estimated in Umatilla county at over 5,000,000 bushels will bring from 75 to 80 cents a bushel, which will make money plentiful among all classes in this section of the country. MONTANA ITEMS Five prominent men, including Creighton Largey, the millionaire, were fined $10 apiece in police court in Butte for exceeding the speed limit in automobiles. They pleaded guilty. The cases are the first of a campaign instituted by the chief of police to stop automobile speeding. The will of Peter Larson, multi-millionaire railroad contractor, mining magnate, lumberman and flouring mill owner, has been filed in the district court. While the bulk of the estate is left to his wife and daughter, provision is made for practically every church, hospital and charitable institution in the city of Helena, as well as his brothers. The will contains a clause that if any legatee shall file a contest, he or she shall be dishonored. The estate is valued roughly at $15,000,000. A wreck occurred on the Northern Pacific between Garrison and Elliston, 60 miles west of Butte. Little damage was done. Harry Delaney of New York was shot and instantly killed recently in a brawl in a house in ... restricted district of Whitefish. The shooting was done by a woman named Matthews, who was drunk at the time of her arrest and will give no statement. C. M. Stubbs, a well-known resident of Stanford, recently kidnapped his 2-year-old child from its mother in the main business street of Great Falls in broad daylight and at a time when that thoroughfare was crowded. The greatest excitement resulted. Stubbs tore the child from its screaming mother an drapidly bore it away, pursued by a wrathy crowd bent on summarily punishing the kidnaper. Stubbs was arrested. While engaged in working on an electric light pole at one of the big transformers in the rear of the city fire station at Billings, Mont., Lewis C. Johnson, a line man employed by the Billings Water Power company, was electrocuted recently. The geological survey estimates the copper output of Montana in 1906 at 282,485,517 pounds, which is greater than the output of any other state. Arizona is second, with 262,566,103 pounds. Michigan is third, with 229,488,617 pounds. The body of Roscoe Denbley, who was drowned in the Clark's Fork recently, has not yet been recovered. Two heavy storms coming from opposite directions met each other near Cascade Saturday afternoon, resulting in a terrific wind and hail storm, during which hallstones fell measuring as much as one and a half inches in diameter. Crops were ruined in the storm zone. During the storm lightning killed a ranch hand, name unknown, several miles from Cascade. He was struck while driving a band of sheed to shelter. After representing Madison county in the legislature two years ago, Frank B. Linderman was appointed assistant secretary of state. He served until Saturday, when he resigned to engage in business in Helena. Secretary Yoder appointed David Pizer of Helena his successor. James R. Davis, aged 23, an actor in the Grand opera house stock company, while speaking his lines during Sunday's matinee at Butte was suddenly seized by what physicians pronounced heart failure, and toppled to the stage a corpse. The audience was at once dismissed. Davis came to Butte from Chicago about three months ago. He leaves a widow and a 3 year old child. KOREANS SUBDUED BY QUICK WORK OF THE JAPS. Koreans Aply the Torch, Use the Rifle—Hunt the Premier—Japanese Are Shooting Rioters and Have Posted Machine Guns—Tokio Hints at Future Action. Tokio, July 21.—Late advices from Seoul say that the rioting is growing in magnitude. Attempts to burn the railway station and police building were frustrated by the prompt action of the Japanese police and gendarmes. The powder magazine of the Korean government is strongly guarded by Japanese troops at the request of the minister of war. Rioters are reported to have been killed. Murderous assaults are frequent and the city is verging almost on a reign of terror. Business is completely suspended. Burn the Premier's House. Seoul, July 21.—Premier Yi Wang Wang's house was sacked and burned by a mob. The rioters were bent on killing the premier, who was fortunately from home when the trouble broke out, and the heavy doors were broken into to the palace. The minister's friends say he was away on a visit, but it is rumored that he fled barely in time to escape the crowd. Japanese troops reached the spot while the mob was still looting the house. Fearing a volley, the ring-leaders aplied the torch and fled. The followers quickly scattered. The soldiers found it impossible to check the flames and the house was destroyed. The premier was the cabinet spokesman when the request was submitted that the empercor abdicate and repeated threats were made against his life. His fellow ministers also fear assassination and, in view of the demonstration, the guards over them have been heavily reinforced. Vague reports are received of fierce rioting in interior towns and great anxiety is felt for Japanese residents too far away to seek protection under the banners of the Secul garrison. The crown prince, elevated to the throne by the emperor's retirement, is said to be in terror for his life and is only restrained by the Japanese from relinquishing the scepter in his turn. Many Koreans Killed. Many Koreans were killed and wounded by Japanese troops in an attack upon the mansion of the minister of war, following the burning of the premier's palace. Driven from the scene of the first demonstration, the rites were rallied by their leaders and started to make a clean sweep of the residences of all the cabinet members. The war minister's home was the first attacked. Warned by the destruction wrought during the earlier riot, Japanese soldiers were prepared to deal with the crowd and opened fire before a rush could be made. The number of casualties is uncertain, but must have been heavy. A concerted attempt was made earlier in the day to murder every member of the cabinet. The premier sought refuge in the imperial palace, which is under a strong guard of Japanese police. The other ministers fled to the Japan anese resident general. Machine Guns Are Posted. Machine guns have been placed by the Japanese at the Tal Ham gate and beyond breastworks in the street approaching the palace in anticipation of an attack by the Korean soldiers, who are in mutiny almost to a man. The Japanese are determined to restore order and have issued proclamations threatening instant death to roiters. Strong military patrols are patrolling the streets in the face of mobs inflamed almost to madness by students. The masses' anger seems to be directed less against the Japanese than the Korean ministers. United States Consul Sammons has replied to Marquis Ito's offer of protection to the foreign consulates that he prefers to leave the matter of guarding the Americans entirely to the discretion of the Japanese. The crown prince has been formally enthroned and will occupy the north palace. Tokio Gets After the Korean. Tokio, July 22.—It is reported from Seoul that the retired emperor refused to acknowledge his complete noninterference with the new administration, insisting that the new emperor was only his proxy. He was prevailed upon to withdraw from his position and to consent to the inauguration of a new epoch with a new name, in accordance with usage. Pak Yon Ho was reappointed household minister, and Yitao Choi, chief chamberlain, has been arrested, with the approval of the new emperor, on suspicion of inciting riot. May Be Japanese Trick. The Hague, July. —The Korean delegation left today for London. Many rumors are in circulation and according to one of them the Koreans have only been the Japanese instruments for creating such a situation as would justify the abduction of the emperor and the practical annexation of Korea by Japan. HERO SAVED THE TOWN. J. D. Adams at Hatton, Wash., Does a Daring Piece of Work-Grabbed Giant Powder From Fire. Hatton, Wash., July 22.—At the risk of his own life, J. D. Adams rushed among kegs and boxes of black and giant powder to extinguish burning hay which had ignited from sparks from a passing locomotive. During the morning hours a crew of teamsters from the railroad camps of the St. Paul road started in to unload a car of powder which had been "spotted" on the sliding next to the depot, and just down the hill from the town. The car stood on what is known as the rear house track, placing the depot between it and the main line, where it is also necessary for teams to come to unload, bringing them within a few feet of passing trains from either direction. Both teamster and helper had been carrying the giant powder from the car onto the wagon, and had almost the entire body of the wagon filled when a train was heard approaching, making it necessary that the driver get upon the seat to give attention to his team which was becoming frightened at the approaching cars. It was while in this position and during the time the helper was in the car shifting boxes for hauling that sparks from the passing locomotive fell among the hay, which was in the bottom of the wagon to lessen the jar of the load in hauling, igniting it among the boxes of dynamite which were piled high in front, causing a large blaze, which was discovered by Mr. Adams when he came out of the car carrying a keg of powder to complete the load. Having had experience in handling freight of this class, Mr. Adams at once recognized the danger in which himself and the whole town were placed should the explosion occur. Without saying a word to the driver, Adams threw the can he was carrying to the ground, and with bare hands dived into the fire, throwing boxes in every direction and scattering fire as best he could, but which by this time had broken out all over the wagon, with boxes and cans in its midst. The teamster, by this time being able to hear the commotion in the rear, realized, too, the importance of quick work and rendered what assistance was possible aside from caring for his team, which had by this time become almost uncontrollable, and which later broke into a run, scattering boxes and cans right and left. There is no doubt that had it not been for the prompt action of Mr. Adams the entire car of explosives would have gone off, completely demolishing the entire town. Mr. Adams is receiving congratulations from all sides for his heroic and timely efforts, but seems to take it as a matter of course, that what he did saving others was because he found it necessary to do so for his own protection. AUTO, TRAIN, FIRE, DEATH Collision Overturns Machine and the Oil Tank Explodes. New York, July 22.—Dr. Edward J. Gallagher, a New York physician, was burned to death in an automobile accident on Long Island late Sunday night, while his fiancee, who accompanied him, was perhaps fatally injured. Dr. Gallagher, accompanied by Miss Helen Madigan, was driving his machine over the Locust avenue crossing of the Long Island railroad in Jamaica, L. I., when the car was struck a glancing blow by a fast passenger train. The machine was thrown a considerable distance and turned over upon its occupants. A moment later the gasoline tank exploded and shot the burning oil over the half stunned autists. The physician was so badly burned as to be barely recognizable. He died in a few minutes. Miss Madigan was also frightfully burned. Her left lew was frightfully burned. Her left leg was broken, her jaw bone fractured and her teeth knocked out. She is not expected to live. Miss Madigan and Dr. Gallagher were to have been married in August. LATE NEWS ITEMS. There was a faal explosion recently in a colliery at Toyooka, Japan. It is reported that nearly all of the 470 miners in the pit at the time were killed. Walter Latham, a 17-year-old boy of Wenatchee, was drowned Monday in the eddy of the Columbia back of the Wagoner ranch, 10 miles up the river from Wenatchee. George T. Bennett, proprietor of the Bennett Electrical company in Los Angeles, was shot and killed Monday by Estelle Corwell, a young woman with whom he had lived for the past years. Bennett was killed near the home of Miss Marguerite Bennett, who, although of the same name, was no relation. The confession by Bennett's slayer that she was not married to him caused a sensation scarcely less pronounced than the news of the tragedy. Mexico to Build Railroad Authoritative information has been received that the Durango-Mazatlan railroad will be built by the Mexican government. It will be the first piece of construction undertaken after the national railroad merger was definitely effected. It is said work will be started by the end of this year. This line is 365 miles long and it is estimated will cost $25,00,000 Mexican currency. It will require several millions more to complete the line. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.

CATARRH BLOOD DISEASED Catarrh is not merely an inflammation of the tissues of the head and throat, as the symptoms of ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping back into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would seem to indicate; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater part of the system are involved. Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess of uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently become torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying off the refuse and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system. This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the catarhal poison affects all parts of the system. The head has a tight, full feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fever comes and goes, the stomach is unset and the entire system disordered and every symptom disappears, the constitution is built up and vigorous health restored. S. S. S. also tones up the stomach and digestion and acts as a fine tonic to the entire system. If you are suffering with Catarrh begin the use of S. S.

Krause of Spokane had a most narrow escape from death by lightning here while walking on Main street, and that her life was saved is due, in the belief of many, to the fact that her umbrella had an ivory handle. Mrs. Krouse was walking on Main street when lightning struck the umbrella she was carrying and immediately set fire to it. Strange to say, she was untouched, and falling rain soon quenched the flames. Mrs. Krause was saved from shock by the ivory handle of the umbrella, this being a nonconductor of electricity.

STEAMERS COLLIDE 100 LIVES LOST San Francisco, July 23.—In a collision between the passenger steamer Columbia and the steam schooner San Pedro off the Mendocino coast, one hundred passengers lost their lives Saturday night. The Columbia was sunk and lies sub merged in the deep waters of Shelter Cove. Captain Doran, master of the Columbia, stayed with his vessel and is among those lost. The collision occurred at midnight when all on board save the lookout and officers on the bridge were asleep in their berths. The Columbia was steaming north at an easy rate, having left here at noon Saturday. Suddenly out of the fog loomed the dark hulk of the schooner San Pedro, south bound, which was evidently out of her course. Whistles were blown and frantic efforts made by the helmsmen of each vessel to avert the collision, but they were of no avail The San Pedro struck the steamer on the port bow tearing an immense hole in her side, through which the water rushed in great volume. Alarms were sounded throughout the passenger ship and the terrified passengers scrambled from their staterooms in an effort to escape from the doomed vessel, but the time was too short to aid the life-savers. The vessel sank within five minutes of the time of the collision. A life raft was launched with a number of passengers on board, but only a few of the number aboard were saved. One hunderd lives were lost. The steamer Roanoke, carrying a number of the dead and some of the rescued, reached here at 6:15 Monday morning, bringing the fist news of the disaster. The dead were conveyed to the morgue. Shelter Cove, where the collision occurred, is 179 miles up the coast. A life raft bearing a number of the survivors is being towed to this port by the Daisy Mitchell. The San Pedro is being towed to Eureka by the steamer George W. Elder. The Columbia was a steel vessel of 1746 tons and was 309 feet long, 38 feet beam and 14.5 in depth. She carried a crew of 74 men under Captain P. A. Doran, who had been master of the vessel for the past five years. The ship was built at Chester, Pa., in 1880 and was owned by the San Francisco and Portland Steamship company. During the earthquake and fire the Columbia was lying at the drydock of the Union ironworks and the shock loosened some of her blocks with the result that the vessel captized. But she was entirely refitted and when she left here Saturday she carried a full list of passengers—about 300. The San Pedro was commanded by Captain Hansen and is a wooden vessel of 318 tone. She is 166 feet long, 31 feet beam and 12 feet deep. A later report from Portland estimates that between 70 and 80 persons lost their lives in the steamer wreck. That there was a blunder in navigation is the opinion of some of the survivors. The boiler of the Columbia blew up as she was sinking. She lies in deep water and is a total loss. The nearest place of any size is Eureka, Cal. The list of dead and unaccounted for is sent from that place. There is known to be a number unaccounted for who are possibly at Shelter Cove, having reached there in rafts and boats. Reports say there were 249 persons on the Columbia. The place of the disaster was off the Humbolt-Mendocino county line. The vessel which sank off Shelter Cove on the California coast was rated a summer home by many Portlanders, who annually made trips to San Francisco in this palatial floating hotel. The list of passengers on the sunken vessel is almost half comprised of Portland people or persons coming here to join relatives, which makes the blow all the harder on this city. As near as can be learned some 75 persons lost their lives in the wreck. The captain of the Columbia often made the statement that in the event of a serious disaster overtaking a vessel in his charge he would never be seen alive again unless every soul on board was saved, which would indicate that the heroic seaman went down with his vessel. The steamship Columbia has been on the run between Portland and San Francisco for 27 years, having left the Bay city on the first voyage to Portland on July 22 1880. This is the first mishap she has ever experienced while en route between the two ports. O. Swanson, a sailor of the San Pedro, was at the wheel Saturday night when the fatal collision occurred. In his report to Sailors' Agent John Erickson, the blame is laid upon the shoulders of the Columbia's officers. Other members of the San Pedro substantiate the story of Swanson. He says that the order was given to him when the lookout sighted the Columbia to put the wheel hard aport. Three points aport carried the San Pedro seaward, apparently out of the way of the approaching vessel. If all had gone well the San Pedro would have cleared the Columbia, but it is evident that an order, "Put the wheel hard astarboard," was given on the Columbia. This sent her directly across the bow of the steam schooner. Whether or not the speed of either vessel was slacked is immaterial, for the crash of the vessels was terrific. WRECK KILLS THIRTY TRAINS COLLIDE NEAR SALEM MICHIGAN. More Than 70 Are Injured—Excursion ...Train Smashed into Freight Train— Crew on Latter Train to Blame— Deplorable Scenes Follow the Disaster—Farmers Came to Rescue. .. Salem, Mich, July 21.—Thirty people are dead and more than 70 injured, many of them seriously, as the result of a headon collision Saturday between this village and Plymouth, when a Pere Marquette excursion train bound from Ionia to Detroit crashed into a westbound freight train in a cut located a mile east of Salem. Following is the list of dead: Homer Smith Ionia, a boy; Albert Trautwine, Ionia, whose body was cut in two; John Tofel, Ionia; Charles Hess, Ionia; Herman Hess, Ionia; Daniel Hess, Ionia; William Cornell, Ionia; Don Rogers, Lowell, Mich.; Dlek Jones, Ionia; Mrs. Abraham Eddy, Ionia; Edward Gallagher, aged 18 years; Ionia; Frank Douse, Ionia; L. K. Merrell, aged 58 years; Ionia; Henry Reynolds, Pere Marquette engineer, Ionia; Charles McCauley, Sr., Ionia; A. F. Herbert, Ionia; Edward Durling, Ionia; Charles Broad, aged 18, Ionia; James Vissard, Ionia; Willard Stager, Ionia; William Grams, a young schoolboy, Ionia; William Gott, Ionia; Mrs. August Richter, Ionia; Fred Fitzgerald, Ionia; Brakeman Ed Corwan, Fireman Knowles, William Evans, 20 years old, Ionia; Frank Latham, 18, Ionia; Benjamin Darling, 45 Ionia; Charles Ferton, fireman of the freight engine; Harry Williams, 17, Ionia, and E. J. Pixley, conductor passenger train, body ground to pieces and scarcely enough found to identify The passenger train of 11 cars, carrying the Pere Marquette shop employees of Ionia and their families to the Michigan metropolis for their annual excursion, was running at high speed, probably 50 miles an hour, down a steep grade. It struck the lighter locomotive of the freight train with such terrible force as to turn the freight engine completely around. The wrecked locomotives lay side by side, both headed eastward. Only a few of the freight train's cars were smashed, and it took only a few hours' work to remove all traces of them from the scene. But behind the two wrecked locomotives six cars of the passenger train lay piled in a hopeless wreck. Four of the passenger coaches remained on the track, undamaged, and were used to convey the dead and injured to Ionia. One coach was entire yl undamaged, with only its forward trucks off the rails. These were the rear five cars. The two coaches next ahead of these were telescoped. The next car forward stood almost on end after the wreck, its forward end resting on the roadbed. Responsibility is put squarly upon the crew of the freight train by officials of the road. Those who arrived at the scene of the wreck soon after the accident secured from the crew of the freight the orders under which it was running and which clearly showed the position of the passenger excursion train and that the freight had encroached upon the other train's running time. Every family had its lunch basket, and many of them were eating when the two trains crashed together. The impact was terrific and a number of passengers sitting near the windows in the rear end of the undamaged coaches were thrown through the windows to the ground. There was a panic among the uninjured coaches for a few moments. Then, as the uninjured people realized that they had not been hurt, they rushed from the cars to the rescue of their friends and relations who were pinioned among the wreckage ahead of them. Families were scattered among the different cars and there were frenzied searches for missing relatives. Mothers ran screaming up and down searching for their children, while many of the young people were as frantically calling for their parents. John Eddy, a 20-year-old young man from Ionla, had a horrifying experience. He was sitting in a seat with his mother, and when he regained his senses after the crash she lay dead beside him. They were in the first car. Engineer Looked at Watch. One of the passengers who jumped from a window of the rear coach after the collision alighted on Engineer Alvord of the passenger train, who leaped from his engine and sat down on the bank, watch in hand, trying to learn from it whether any blame for the mistake which had cost so heavily rested with him. The crash of the colliding trains was heard for a great distance up and down the tracks and many farmers working nearby, realizing that a tragedy had occurred, hurried from their homes with bedding, cloth for bandages and stimulants. They joined in the rescue work, while physicians hurried to the scene from all the neighboring towns. Numbers of the uninjured women passengers tore strips from their clothing to help bandage up the wounds of the suffering victims, before the physicians arrived on the relief trains.
