TOPEKA STATE JOUENAL, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1900, c RUSH 0FJR00PS. (Continued from First Page.) from Wei-Hai-Wei. This column, with the Russian and American contingent i over DoO men. must cut its way throush a superior Chinese force wh on is said to have sixty suns, although this ferns incredible. The foreigners at Tien Tsin are clearly in a desperate state, with the garrison surrounded by a Chinese horde and with ammunition and supplies running short. Somewhere beyond Tien Tain, either on the way to Pekin or at that city, is a mixed force of 2.300 men, with m adeuuate supplies. ammunition and food At trie ! -pat ions are probably from l,o00 to 2 000 Europeans, Japanese and Amer leans, refuses being added to the work ins otnckxl officer and the military and naval guards about 450 men. Every link in this chain of relief is weak and detached, and there is no ac curate information from any station ex- C i-en w1k live in China assert that the number of foreigners at Tien Tsin is large, since the city has a Chinese pop ulation of over a million and a com merce of over $45,000,000. Tien Tsin is the chitf distributing center for trade in nothern China and Manchuria, and the natural outlet for a half dozen of the most populous provinces. There are four foreign banks, a large body of English, German, Russian, Japanese and American merchants and several groups of missionary stations. The situuti. n of the foreigners at Tien Tsin is regarded by former British offi cials in China as deplorable, and doubts are expressed respecting- the adequacy of the relief force which is available at Taku, unless Russia takes decisive aneasures, as indicated last night in offi cial communications from the foreign office aj. St. Petersburg for the invasion of Chinese territory by a really formid able army. The Ameiiean and Euro iiran fleets may lie working harmon iously under the leadership of the senior nr rear admiral at Taku. but the sup pression of anarchy in China now re- quiries the presence of a larger army thnn a nv great power tSCept Russia fan put into the field without delay. IX PERFECT ACCORD. Eondon.June 25 The Associated Press learns Lord Salisbury is still hopeful that the Chinese crisi3 will be solved without war against that country as whole. In spite of the alarming report inclines to the bel ef that tne gov -rnment of Cl.ina in some satisfactory form will- shortly be able to reassert itself. He does not mean that he be littles the opposition of the various viceroys who have given notice of their willingness to cooperate wun ine unneu forces. Without committing himself to a delir.ite view of the future, he appears averse to any scheme of territorial in j, canity which, wh--n order is restored, might be suggested by the powers who liave suffered during the uprising. The interview of the United States ambassador, Mr. Joseph II. Choate with Eord Salisbury was due to-instructions received from Secretary Hay, in which the ambassador was notified of the' fiiendly positions of the various viceroys and was instructed to secure Lord Salisbury's views beyond casual conversation. Mr. Choate had not mentioned the crisis in the far east until he received Secretary Hay's cable message. The ambassador discovered the British pre mier's views were exactly as frequently represented in the dispatches. He maintained the belief that the diplo mats at i'ekin had not been massacred and did n;t believe they were likely to be. He is eminently satisfied with the action already taken by the United States and expressed the same views as the cable dispatches attribute to Secre tary Hay. in short the conference may be said to have not elicited a single point on which Eord Salisbury differed from the American attitude and while he ex pressed his determination to use every endeavor to restore order in the Pei Ho Valley and extricate the diplomats his estimate of the situation was tinged with a spirit of hopefulness that con trasted greatly with the general tone of the British press. The British ambassador did not dis cuss the evenvoal settlement, and the likelihood of a partition of China, etc.. End it may be reiterated that this phase f the situation has not yet been made the subject of an exchange of views be tween any of the nations. Judging from the account of what passed between Mr. Choate and Lord Salisbury and the statement recently made to the Associated Press by the ioreign otlice, that Great Britain and titi.er nations, so far as the foreign of jne tvoew, were confining all their ener gies and deliberations solely to the pres ent predicament, is a sincere statement of fact. If Russia, Japan or any other lower has an ulterior object in makin" capital out of the trouble in China, Lord Salisbury does not appear to be aware of its existence. A COLORED CHORUS.

Tha Kind Yea Have Always Bought MMI AC AT LA Kills One Person .Injures Others and Takes His Own Life. Cedar Rapids, la., June 25. Charles Mefford, maniac, at 5 o'clock this morn ing killed James Fitzsimmons, fatally injured Joseph Drake.seriously and pos sibly fatally injured Mrs. James Fitz simmons, slightly injured Miss Kate Fitzsimmons and then ended his own life. Mefford was 27 years old and has been insane for a number of years. Two years ago he was In ' the Independence asy lum for a short time, but escaped and was never returned. He was Dot gen-. erally considered dangerous. Last night about 10 o'clock, while clad in nothing but a shirt, he darted out of his home, a raving maniac. He was seen two or three times between then and midnight, but the police failed to f nd him. Shortly before 5 o'clock this morning Reginald Andrews, the janitor at. the Old Ladies' home, was awakened by crashing glass. The next moment Mef ford stood before him, stark naked, swinging a neckyoke. "l'our time has come," shouted Mef ford. "What time do you mean?' 'asked An drews with remarkable coolness. "I have murdered one whole family tonight and I am going to kill you next, and then everybody in the home," re plied Mefford. Mefford swung the neckyoke and tried to brain Andrews. The latter dodged, and grabbed the weapon, threw Mef ford on the bed and choked him until he begged for mercy. Then Andrews agreed to give him a bath, a suit of clothes and some breakfast which apparently satis fied him. Rushing through the house, Andrews locked the 12 or 14 old ladies in their rooms, notified the police by telephone and then ran across -the street to the home of Joseph Drake for assistance. Iirake dressed, picked up a revolver and they started out. As they did so Mefford. carrying an ax, was seen to plunge through a win dow in the home of James Fitzsimmons, about 150 yards away. As he entered the room Mrs. Fitzsimmons uttered a scream. Mefford swung the ax. and brought it down toward her head. Her uplifted arm saved her life; the arm was broken in two places and she sus tained a serious scalp wound. Mr. Fitzsimmons, hearing the scream, clashed into the room and grappled with the maniac. Mefford shook him off and sent the ax crushing into his skull. split ting his head wide open. Then, dashing up stairs, Mefford attacked Miss Kate Fitzsimmons. inflicting a number of se vere scalp wounds. When he came down stairs Drake had just entered the house. Drake dropped to his knee to shoot. Click, click, click, went the revolver. But there were four empty chambers and each time the hammer came down on one of them. Then Mefford struck him on the head with the ax. A second and third blow followed and Drake fell over. Andrews escaped the maniac again. Mefford took Drake's revolver and ran out of the house. After running several blocks he put at bullet into his left breast Just below the heart. Running on two or three blocks farther he sat down on the curbstone. Placing the re volver to the center of his forehead he fired again. He continued to wave the revolver above his head. But just as the first officer grabbed the revolver from behind Mefford fell over into the gutter dead. FIRST BLOCK BOUGHT. Santa Fe Committee Completes Deal For Shop Property. The finance committee of the Com mercial club, having the Santa Fe shop matter in charge, has completed ar rangements for the purchase of the property included in the first north block of land directly east of the car shops. This block extends from Se ward avenue to Crane street and from the car shops to Klein street, and the cost of the land to the Commercial club will be $11,700. The abstracts of the property are now being examined by the Santa Fe legal department, and as soon as this work is completed the money will be paid to the property owners by the committee and the property turned over to the Santa Fe company. Mr. - Jonathan Thomas, chairman of the finance com mittee, expects to leave Topeka July 12, and hopes to have the entire four acres purchased and at the disposal of the railway company by that time.

The picture shows the lancers in their final charge STRIKERS ENJOINED From Interfering With. Mail Cars on St Louis Transit Lines. St. Louis, June 25. Judge Elmer B. Adams of the United States district court today granted a temporary in junction in the case of W. D. Mahon and all the members of Division No. 131 of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employees of America, restraining them from' interfering in any way with the running of mail cars over the lines of the St. Louis Transit company. None of the defendants were pres ent. They were represented by "W. S. Anthony, while District Attorneys Hitchcock and Rosier acted for the government. In summing up the contents of the affidavits presented, Mr. Anthony de clared that it was not shown that any of the defendants had been guilty of lawlessness. "On the contrary," he added, "the strike leaders and all the members of the Street Railway Men's union have counseled law and order. The Transit company is not responsible perhaps for the unsettled conditions which existed. It is the union man who has been made to suffer and bear the brunt of all disturbances. The pres ident of the union, Sherman Patterson, row dying in the hospital as the re sult of being stabbed by an assassin." At the conclusion of the arguments Judge Adams rendered his decision sub stantially as follows: "It is conceded by the defendants that this court has jurisdiction over the question at issue. In the case of the United States against Debs it was held where it was shown there was unlawful interference -with the mails or inter state commerce the power of the court of chancery could be invoked. The authority of the government is binding upon all the people. No distinction is made for the young or the old, the rich or the poor. "The question here is whether the de fendants have been shown by the am davits to have been interfering with the instrumentalities and the agencies of the federal government. The court, in passing on the point, does not under take to punish if the affirmative posi tion is sustained. The injunction pro cess is intended as a deterrent, a pre ventive of lawlessness and is a dec laration and warning to all the peo ple. The issue as set forth here is not between the Transit company and the members of the street car union, but of the United States against the strikers and all persons who may in terfere with the operation of the mails. "Irrespective of whether this or that person has been guilty of an act of law lessness, a reasonable apprehension as to a violation of the laws of the United States is practically all that is neces sary to determine the issuance of an injunction. "Soon after the present strike here referred to was inaugurated there were scenes of lawlessness throughout the city. It is admitted that the mail cars have been interfered with and their prompt operations at times rendered impossib! e. "The defendants and those who have acted in concert with them ordered the strike. From this it follows that wheth er they are guilty of lawlessness or not as complained of. they must be held ac countable for the necessary conse quences of their acts. "If it is true, and I hope it is, that none of the defendants has been, guilty of interfering with the mail cars, then the injunction certainly can do no harm. However, my ruling is not based upon that conclusion. The motion for a tem porary injunction is accordingly granted." SHOES IN TOPEKA. "W. S. "Webber Would Build a Factory in This City. Mr. W. S. "Webber, one of the members of the Richardson Shoe company of Menominee, Mich., has written Secre tary Anderson of the Commercial club in reference to the establishment of a show factory in this city. Mr. Webber's idea is to organize a local company, and erect and equip a suitable plant, but he failed to speak of the details, of his scheme in his letter. Secretary Anderson will call on the shoe merchants of Topeka and see what the sentiment is in regard to the for mation of a local company. Mr. Web ber proposes to manufacture a staple "seamless" shoe and states that 600 pairs are now being turned out' daily at the factory in Menominee. 814.00 Chicago and Return via The Hock Island Route!"

How the British Lancers SOW FOR HORSE SHOW- The Amphitheater Will Comfortably Seat 3500 People. Final preparations for the Topeka horse show are being made. The am phitheater has been completed.. It is strongly built and has a seating capac ity of 3,500 persons. - The prospects for the coming show are flattering. The list of entries in the pro fessional classes are surprisingly good. The classes in which the entries are confined to Topeka, have not been filled as they should.Heretoforethe home peo ple have been rather timid in entering because of coming into competition with professional horses. Arrangement of classes ftas been made so that Topeka people so desiring may not have to compete with horses from out of town. Those desiring to make entries will have to do so before tomorrow at noon, at which time the books will be closed. A polo game will be one of the fea tures of the show. The sides will be captained by Dean R. Low and A. E. Ashbrook of Kansas City. This will be the first polo game ever witnessed in this city. The -players in this game are mounted on horses. The sides line up and a ball is placed between them. The players carry long slender sticks with which they strike the ball. The object of the game is to drive the ball to a goal at the end of the field. Any num ber may play the game. It is a very exciting game and sometimes becomes dangerous. The hunting tandem will be another feature of the show. Each of the con testants drive a tandem hitched to a cart. They drive around the arena sev eral times and at a signal all turn and drive as fast as possible to a given point where the drivers jump from the cart and unfasten the leader from the harness, mount and make a run before taking the hurdle. This is also interest ing and exciting. The judges secured for the coming show have no interests here and are professional men who have acted in thia capacity in shows in the larger cities. The judges are: Mortimer Levering, banker, of Layfayette, Indiana; Warren Galbreath, claim agent of the M. K. & T., Dallas, Texas: and John R. Gentry, manager of the St. Louis horse show. HORSE SHOW NOTES. Fifteen head of horses were shipped in to Topeka this morning. O. D. Woodward will exhibit "Lime Stone Bell," one of the greatest horses in the high school class. This horse is the one used by the Woodward Stock company on the stage in the production of "Quo Vadis." Seventy-six entries have been made from Kansas City. Joseph T. McLeavey of Dwight has entered a saddle horse. "The Arrow," the pure white horse which created a sensation when exhibi ted at the Philadelphia horse show, will be shown here. The arena of the horse show will be brilliantly lighted with electricity. Don't say high school gaits. They are movements. D. H. Carter, the Kansas horseman, has made entries in several classes. A great many swell turnouts will be seen at the show. Besides the ones from out of town a number have been bought by Topeka people especially for this oc casion. Dean Low recently received a w icker tandem cart and a ' wicker runabout. The runabout is equipped with an odometer which rings a bell at the end of each mile, both electric and gas lights, a clock and all the other ap pointments which go to make a run about complete. A. Watson Armour, son of the million aire packer, has made a number of en tries. CALL IN TRAVELING MEN. Uncertain Prices of "Wheat Frightens Topeka Millers. Owing to the uncertain prices of grain a number of the Topeka milling com panies have called in their traveling men. The elevators are ot filled to their capacity at this time of the year, and it is not thought advisable to fill them while the present uncertainty of prices lasts. The Shawnee Milling company has called in three of their traveling men. The Mid-Continent and the Inter-Ocean mills each have three or four men still on the road. The Topeka Milling com pany is now doing business without representatives on the road. It is thought, however, that the prices will soon become more stable. Attention Comrades. The members of Lincoln Post with all other old soldiers are invited to meet at Lincoln Post hall Monday evening at 7 o'clock to join in the parade to wel come Congressman Charles Curtis home. J. T. BARKLEY, Assistant Commander. J. M. MILLER. Adjutant. Ice Trust Hearing. New York. June 25. The grand jury today went into a consideration of the cases of conspiracy against the officers of the American Ice company. The hearing may be determined today or go on for several days. Opened the Way to Pretoria TO BRING TROOPS HOME. Withdrawal From Cuba to Be Begun Soon. Washington, June 25. As soon as Sec retary Root returns to this city early next week, final arrangements will be made for the withdrawal os as many troops as can be spared from further service in Cuba. According to reports received from Governor General Wood the elections passed off quietly and without serious dis order and affairs generally have become tranquil, with no indications of future trouble. In consequence of this encour aging state of affairs the officials of the war department are considering the ques tion of a large reduction of the military force in Cuba. It has been estimated that about one-half of the troops can be safely withdrawn in the next few months. Noth ing will be settled as to which regiments shall come until after Secretary Root re turns to the city. There is an impression, however, that the Fifth infantry, sta tioned principally in the department of Santiago, will be the first Cuban regiment to return to the United States, and that the Eighth infantry, stationed in the same department, will follow soon after. The return of these troops to the United States will enable the department to carry out its plan of sending regular troops from this country to the Philip pines to take the places of the volunteer army which must be brought home and discharged by June 30. 1901. Unless de velopments in China necessitate a change or programme tne nomeward movement of the volunteer troops from the Philip pines will begin in the earlv fall, and about 8.000 or 10.000 regular troops will be sent out gradually, from this country to taKe tneir places. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, June 25. WHEAT "Wheat be gan the new business "week nervous and active with a big trade. Julv at the orjen ing sold all the way from 86c to 88c, compared with Saturday's close at SSc The northwest was still without say and the weather was reported still engaged in scorching what remains of the spring wneat wreck. In Manitoba there was some moisture. Liverpool cables were comparatively weak, and world's ship ments heavy. Russian shipments were 2 000,000 bu. and attracted some attention. Harvesting of the Kansas "bumper" crop was reported progressing under the best of conditions. There was heavy profit taking in longs, but the demand was enual to' the occasion and gradually pulled July up to SSc at 11 o'clock. A decline to 87c followed. Northwest receipts were light. Chicago had 1S7 cars, 10 of contract grade, while Minneapolis and Duluth reported 474 cars, against 649 last week and 9S1 a year ago. Later in the session the market broke heavily. Southwest favorable conditions were compared with the northwest situ ation as balancing matters to a degree. July declined sharpiy to 83e. A reaction followed on covering, but the close was unsteady, July 2c under Saturday, at 86c. CORN The corn market was rather easy, but fairly active. July opened 1c to lc lower at 41c to 41c. rallied to 42fgc and then eased off to 41e, where the market steadied. Receipts here were 610 cars. Corn broke with wheat to 41c, but steadied and closed 13c under yesterday at 41c. OATS Oats were strong and active, supported by northwest buying on dam ages to the feed crops of that section.

Much may depend In the looal stock speculation this week on the the course of events in China. It is well to remember that much of the news coming from China is founded upon mere reports. In times of alarm any sit uation is - apt - to be magnified for the worst, and therefore considerable specu lation should be exercised in the way of crediting the most alarming dispatches on the subject. There can be no doubt, however, that- markets are likely to be called upon for some time to deal with the Chinese problem as an important factor in influencing quotations. The spring wheat crop promises to be materially reduced as compared with last year, but the street is disposed to ignore the fact that this cereal supolies only one-third of the total wheat crop of the country. The corn crop is apparently overlooked by the present bear operators in the stocks. A tremendous part of the country's wealth is derived from this grain, and according to the majority of advices com has started well. Some un certainty of course will attend the ma turing of the crop a month of two later, but there is future favorable agricultural conditions outside of the spring wheat crop. Cotton Mark at.
