SEES THE DIVING HORSES Fair view Park's. Attraction Great ly Interests His Highness, to Judge by His Attitude. X-RAY FOR- HIS KNEE Dr. Gundelfingen Will To-Day Minister to the Prince Spends a Rather Quiet Day. Prince Tu Lun paid a touching tribute to the memory of the late Benjamin Harrison yesterday afternoon, when thejsrrave of the great son of Indiana was visited In Crown 11111 Cemetery. It had been the Intention of the royal visitor's entertainers merely to drive hi3 Highness through the beautiful city of silence and allow him to view the grounds from his auto, but when the prince ( was notified of his presence at me grivc of General Harrison he Insisted upon alighting, and then, in the solemn, impres sive manner of hi3 country, he did honor to the great man's undying fame. Those Xtfio were present were much touched by Ois voluntary token of respect to the dead. His Highness spent a comparatively quiet day yesterday, taking a late luncheon in hla apartments at the Claypool, making a short call on Wong Kai Kah afterward, and then visiting Fairview Park, Crown 1I11I and the Country Club. Though the prince was not a guest at Mr. Wong's for a very long time, a great deal was done by way of entertaining him. The musical numbers which were rendered during the afternoon greatly pleased his Highness, and he became so enthusiastic that he tried to render a Mute solo himself. While the flute, in appearance. Is similar to a Chinese Instrument, upon which the prince is an expert performer, his efforts on the former instrument were not a de cided success, though they were greatly enjoyed by the guests. Dr. Edward Bak, of Chicago, played a piano solo; Mrs. Dr. Gundelflnger rendered a solo on the flute, and Miss Julia Kantrowitz sang. The final number was a violin solo by Dr. Gundel flnger. . The guests, besides the prince and his secretaries, were Mr. and Mrs. John W. Hoi Lzrr.au. Dr. and Mrs. B. M. Gundel fingen Mr. and Mrs. Alford Potts, Mrs. Stephens, Miss Julia Kantrowitz, Dr. Ed ward Bak of Chicago and William Fortune and Mis. Newby. ' THE DIVING HORSES. In accordance with his expressed wish to see the diving horses at Fairview Park, Frince Pu Lun was taken there late in the afternoon. Fully S.Ou people greeted him. ani whn the beautiful -white horses, "Klnir" and "Queen" mounted the chute from which they make their exciting plur. tYe ptople fcs.ztrd at the prince, while he, standing on a bench, gave his undivided at- tenHon to the ' horses. The things the Americans do to entertain themselves are very wonderful to the Prince, and it is Just hiated that It was a case of "having to show him" before he would be satisfied "about tne great white horses that make hißh dive?." There is Just one expression that ade quately describes the impression the prince Is making on Indianapolis people. It is "a hit." When his Highness was brought to the private car Losantlville, in which he was taken to Crown Hill from the park, a great crowd stood around the end of the car clamoring to see the prince. "Show us the prince! Show us the prince!" they cried. When Hugh J. McGowan made the wishes of the people known to his Highness the latter smilingly appeared on the rear plat form, and the people shouted their ap proval. The prince's reception at Fairview Park was as cordial as any he has received yet. Some of the crowd perhaps were not as dignified as they should have been, when they said "Hello, Prince," but then they were not accustomed to royalty, and the royal visitor's broad smile seemed to court that much liberty, anyway. His Highness greatly enjoyed the ride to the Country Club, which, with the excep tion of a little dinner party given at the home of William Fortune, concluded the day's entertainment. His Highness will spend to-day In visiting the different schools of the city, and he will also make a visit to the veneer works. At the close of the visits to the different schools Wong Kai Kah will deliver a short address to the teachers of the city schools, by request of the committee on education. EXCURSION TO LAFAYETTE. Wide Interest is being taken In the pro posed automobile excursion to Lafayette, which will leave Indianapolis to-morrow, returning Wednesday. The excursion is to be in charge of the Automobile Club of Indiana, and there will be between thirty .nd thirty-five motor cars in the train. This is the first time any American auto mobile club has had the opportunity of en tertaining a member of royalty, and repre sentatives of the leading automobile clubs of the country are to take part. Among the most notable of the latter are August Fost, of New York, whose machine re cently won a prize for durability in a con teat given in New- York; K. K. Thomas, president of the E. K. Thomas Motor Com pany of P.f.Talo. and I. P. Van Vleet, an auto enthusiast from Memphis. Mr. Gordon Varney, secretary of the Automobile Club of Indiana, and Carl Fisher, the well-known automoblllst of this city, will drive the pilot car. The prince, in company with Mr. Wong and William Fortune, will ride in the latter's machine, which will be second in the train. X-RAY OX THE ROYAL KNEE. During all of the many entertainments provided for Prince Pu Lun and the many places he has been It has not been known until to-day that his Highness some months igo met with an accident, which will to night receive attention from Dr. B. M. Gundelflnger and his X-ray apparatus. Six months ago, while ascending a stairway, the prince slipped, and In the effort to catch himself and prevent a fall severely sprained his royal right knee. The injury has given him some pain at times, and when it was suggested that Dr. Gundel flnger. who Is physician to Mr. Wong, should demonstrate the workings and the use of the X-ray and the static machines it was decided that it might be of benefit to the prince to use the healing rays upon the injured limb. He acquiesced, and to right at the doctor's office. 30 North Meridian street, the heir to the throne of China will receive the benefit of one of the modern wonders, the X-ray. , PRINCE PU LUN SHOWS INTEREST IN CHILDREN A good illustration of the interest Prince Pu Lun shows in children was witnessed the other day while he was making the rounds of one of the big factories. The little daughter of one of the owners had expressed the wish to present his Highness with a sample of the work done in the fac tory. Her wish was complied with, and the prince was informed by Mr. Wong that the gift had come from a lutle girl. The TCONTINUED ON' PAGE 10, COL. 2.) WEEKLY ESTABLISHED 1S23. DAILY EfeTAULIiülIED WA.

JOHNSON IS FOR FOLK Will Co-Operate with Harmon and Kilbourne Men to Down Hearst Will Convene To-Morrow. COLUMBUS, O., May 22. There are more early visitors here than usual, for the Democratic convention, next Tuesday and Wednesday. This is due to contests in many county delegations and the1 desires of con testants "to be heard" as soon as they can meet delegates and leaders. There have been fights in most of the eighty-eight counties for Hearst delegates. All who are opposed to Hearst are called conserv atives. As the latter have a majority of the uncontested 'delegates,' they will no doubt decide the contests against the Heurst contestants and control the con vention. The conservatives,' however, are divided in their presidential preferences between Coloriel'James Kilbourne. of Columbus, who was the Democratic candidate for Govern or three years ago; Judge Judson Harmon. who win attorney general under President Cleveland, and Joseph Folk, of Missouri. Previous to his defeat for Governor, last year, and his los of control of the state committee this year,' Mayor Tom L. John eon, of Cleveland, was considered a candi date for the Democratic nomination for President, but he is now heading the boom in Ohio for Folk. Johnson, who was the candidate for Gov ernor last year, and John II. Clarke, who was then the Democratic candidate for senator against Ilanna. are delegates from the Twenty-nrst Ohio district to the St. Louis convention and neither has been mentioned for delegate at large. There was a proposition to make the last four Democratic . candidates for Governor Horace Chapman, John McLean, James Kilbourne and Tom L. Johnson-the dele gates at large, but all declined. Chapman, McLean and Kilbourne also declined to serve as district delegates.. This has left an open held with the names of former Congressman John A. McMahon, of Day ton; Mayor Edward H. Moore, of Youngs town; General E. B. Finley, . of Bucyrus; Walter B. Richie, of. Lima; Judge J. F. Lindemann, of Lima;, Melville E. Ingalls, of Cincinnati; William S. Thomas, of Springfield; John L. Zimmerman, of Spring field; Congressman Cassingham. of Coshoc ton; Abraham L. Patrick, of New Phila delphia; General A. J. Warner, of Marietta; John C. Welty, of Canton; former Con gressman John J. Lentz, of Columbus; Judge Rockwell, of Ravenna, and others mentioned for delegates-at-large. There is now no doubt that the Conserva tives will name the "b!g four" and the State ticket, as well as dictate the resolu tions. No Instructions for any candidate are expected, but either Kilbourne or Har mon will be indorsed as "the Ohio favorite and th8 delegate will be instructed "to vote as a unit whenever a majority of the delegation so elects." It Is claimed by the conservatives .that under such a modified "unit rule" Hearst would not get a vote from Ohio, although his friends have carried several districts. While no attempt will be made to instruct for Parker, or even to command him. it is believed that he is the second choice of both the Kilbourne and the Harmon men. who expect to control the convention. Mayor Johnson is expected to co-operate with the conservatives in organizaing the conven tion, as there are contesting delegations from . Cleveland, and the conservatives, in turn, will seat the Johnson delegation. But when it comes to indorsing any one for President the conservative organization will be so divided that it is doubtful whether even "a state favorite" can be commended by name in the resolutions. Mayor Johnson controlled the last two Democratic state conventions as absolutely as John R. McLean had those of previous years, but there is no one in control at this convention, and there is no indication of developments that may bring another cne to the front as a recognized leader. JOHXSOX TELLS WHY HE LIKES MR. FOLK CLEVELAND. May . 22.-Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of this city. In an interview to night, told why he would like to see Joseph W. Folk, of Missouri, the Democratic nom inee for the presidency. Mr. Johnson said that according to his view of the present political situation Mr. Folk would be a harmony candidate; that he would unite the factions that now ad here to either the Parker or Hearst Inter ests, or the principles represented by these men. Folk is said to be a free man as re gards any tangling alliances in factional-l- woul,d hJ agreeable to Mr. Hill and Mr. Cleveland and would be Indorsed by Mr. Bryan. Mayor Johnson believes.

NAVIGATION MENACED BY FLOATING MINES LONDON, May 23. The correspondent of the Times, on board that paper's steamer llaimun, which is yet excluded from the real theater of war, gives a review of the present position of affairs and says: "Reserves from Japan are beir : brought to reinforce General Kuroki's lines of com munications, where thty are belui harassed by Cossacks. "General Kurokl appears to be waiting for the landing and co-operation of a third army. It was while holding the Miao-Tao straits against torpedo attacks from Port Arthur for the passage of transports with the third army that the llatsuse met with disaster. Realizing that they were effectively Isolated, the Port Arthur Russians made their desperation an excuse for sowing the whole Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li with floating- blockade mines. "It is reported that they sent launches and junks to drop mines in the paths of the Japanese warships and transports. The mines drifted to the high seas and to Chi nese waters, constituting the gravest dan ger to neutral shipping. "Yesterday the Jlaimon passed two float ins mines within six miles of Wei-Hai-Wei. "Even as the act of a desperate garrison this must be in violation of the law of na tions." ine Standard's correspondent at Tokio, telegraphing under date of May 21, saj-s: "Addressing a meeting of financiers to day on the importance of securing the sym pathy of the civilized world in the present momentous crisis, Marquis Ito strongly urged the importance of Japan being con tented to enforce her legitimate clajms, never for a moment wavering In frank and broad-minded recognition of the legitimate claims and interests of other nations. "The speech is considered significant as foreshadowing Japan's future policy with regard to Manchuria and Korea." The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says: "I am Informed on good authority that Viceroy Alexieff tendered his resignation to tue Emperor, giving poor health as the reason for his desire to be relieved, but that the Emperor persuaded him. In a gra cious telegram, to remain at his post."

SNOW, COLD, STARVATION HALIFAX, N. S., May 22. On board the steamer Sylvia, which arrived here to-day from St. John, N. F., was the body of Leonidas Hubbard, jr., who perished iu the interior of Labrador last October. The steamer will sail for New York with the body to-morrow: Dillon Wallace and George Elson, two of the survivors of the expedi tion of which Hubbard was the leader, are accompanying the remains. Another party, which followed that of Hubbard by only a few months, was rescued recently after sufferings scarcely second to those which caused that explorer's death. It was an English party, headed by a Mr. Knowling. They traveled for weeks through deep mow. The dogs gave out fre quently, and food ran short after the first ten days, there being seldom anything to shoot to sustain the hungry men and ani mals. Owing to the continuous snowstorms the guides were unable to get their beartngs, and frequently asked to be allowed to re trace their steps. Mr. Knowling, however, refused to turn back. Then came ominous signs of approaching starvation. Driven to desperation, the In dian guides killed the dogs and ravenously ate the flesh. After three weeks' terrible privations Mr. McWhirter. who accompanied Mr. .Know ling, discovered that they were at the head of Gander river. By that time the members of the party were so famished that, leaving their outfits, they made a dash for Glen wood, but, fortunately, before arriving there they were met by some woodsmen. who gave them assistance and food. SECOND TRIAL OF Mil WILL BE OPEIIED TO-DAY Man Once Sentenced for Murder of Alice Cothrell to Have Rehearing. ONE WITNESS IS DEAD Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE. Ind.. May 22. The sec ond trial of Charles Dunn for the murder of Alice Cothrell. at Wallen, on July 2, 1901. will begin to-morrow in Circuit Court, Judge Smith, of Portland, presiding. Dunn, who is now sixty-five years old, was convicted on his first trial of murder in the first degree and sentenced to prison for life. The Supreme Court first affirmed the sentence and then, on an appeal for re hearing, the court reversed the case. Dunn hid the body in a barn, according to the state, until night, and then dropped it in the cistern under his kitchen, where it was found five days later by an- indignant crowd of citizens. Dunn had an insane wife and a servant girl of bad reputation, and much mystery attached to the case. Dunn's neighbors by the score gave him a bad reputation for chastity, but he has persisted that he is in nocent. The servant girl who swore Dunn was the father of her unborn child, died six months later, soon after the child was born. Dunn's brother, a wealthy railroad man of Chicago, has supplied the money for his defense. S. R. Monis and Henry Cole rick are his attorneys and S. R. Hench and E. V.

GREGORY DYNAMITES FISH IS BLOW TO PIECES Martinsville Man, Deaf to Wife's Pleadings, Goes to an Aw ful Death. KILLED ÖN WHITE RIVER Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARTINSVILLE. Ind.. May 22. Ignoring with a good-natured laugh the pleadings of his wife. Scott Gregory, a skilled employe at the Davis ooperage factory in this city, went fishing this morning, and a few hours later was instantly killed while dynamiting fish in White river, near Paragon. He was literally blown to pieces, both hands and parts of both (legs and a portion of his head being blown away. The-unfortunate man and John Suter, a near neighbor, arose early and were seen driving to the river together. The next heard from them was about 11 o'clock, when the news was, telephoned that Gregory was dead from a premature explosion of dyna mite. Suter had gone down the river a few hundred yards to gather up the fish, it Is thought,' as he says he was that dis tance away, when he heard the explosion and heard tlw death cry of Gregory. It is supposed fronj the nature of the dead man's injuries that he was stooping and perhaps placing the cap. Just before throwing the dynamite into the river. He was a son of Mr. end Mrsu M. W. Gregory, of South Main street, tills city, and had been a resi dent here all:hls life. He leaves a widow and three-year-old boy. The young wife of Gregory, having knowledge of the intended use of dynamite, btgged. him not V 50 to the river. ' i'c PRICE 2 A CHINESE REFORM Harry R. Campbell, of This City, Receives Letters from Gen. En glish at Yankton, S. D. WILL PROBABLY ACCEPT Conforming to the plan to provide Amer ican officers for the imperial reform army of China, recently given publicity through the Journal, Harry R. Campbell, 2017 North Illinois street, who served as first lieuten ant during the Spanish-American war, has be,en offered a high commission by General English, the American member of the gen eral staff of the Oriental forces. From his headquarters In Yankton, S. D., General English is sending to officers of the Spanish-American war throughout the United States' offers of commissions in the Chinese reform army, and, it is understood, is meet ing with much success. Since the 12th of May Mr. Campbell has received two com munications from General English, and ex pects to hear again from him within a few days. , The first letter came unexpectedly and in the form of an announcement stating that Mr. Campbell had been placed upon the roster of the proposed reform army as a major of Infantry, adding that subsequent ly the position offered might be even of a higher rank. Soon afterward another let ter came offering a commission which Mr. Campbell feels he will accept. "I do not feel that I care to state Just what the position offered me is at this time," said Mr. Campbell to a Journal re porter, "but I may say that it is of suf ficient importance to Justify me in accept ing it. 1 do not know General English, but I am convinced that he is acting in good faith, and that the offer is bona. fide. I will confess that it looks good to me, and that should it all turn out as I anticipate. I will probably accept. During the next few years China will offer many induce ments for Americans, both in a military and commercial way. I look upon it aa a fine opportunity to gain valuable experi ence, and to benefit In many other ways." It is understood that the commissions are being offered only to officers of the Spanish-American war. since the United States authorities would not permit offers to be made to members of the regulur army. General English is conducting his correspondence in a very business-like way, and Inspires confidence by the tone of his communications. It is stated that telegrams to this city will already aggre gate from $15 to 20. This fact is signifi cant, and is an evidence that a large amount of money is being expended in communiction with the many other cities throughout the United States. The fact that denials have been entered regarding the proposed infusion of American Fpirit does not mean much In Mr. Campbell's opinion. "If it Is not true." he said, "it would be an easy matter for the Chlr.ere minister to put a stop to it. It is known to him, and if the offers which are btlng made were anything but what they purport to be, his protest would soon end the matter."

The Lake Shore novelty works plant cevtred nearly ten acres of ground In the southwest part of the city and employed nearly 300 men, women and children. Rail road torpedoes and Fourth of July explo sives were manufactured. Owing to the large rush of orders, the officials of the plant requested the employes to report for duty to-day. About thirty complied with the request. This morning the residents of Findlay were startled by two ' explosions, which shattered windows throughout the city. The concussion was felt for miles around. Two magazines in separate rooms at the novelty works exploded simultaneously with terrible report. The exact cause of the explosion is not definitely known. It is surmised that one of the Sherwood brothers, who were the only persons In, the drying rooms, dropped a latge lox of torpedoes, but this theory cannot be con firmed. The explosion occurred Just before the employes assembled for duty. At lea.ct twenty persons were on their way to the factory when the explosion occurred. Human forms were strewn considerable distances apart on the factory site. The remains of the Sherwood brothers wer found In drying room No. 1, mangled and almost unrecognizable. Their clothing was blown from their bodies, save a ttocklutf on the right foot of Jay Sherwood. The body of Edith Dillon was picked up 200 yards from where the explosion oc curred.
