BY ASSOCIATEDI PESS.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 29.-An oflicial dis
patch from Mukden, Manchuria, says:
"A detachment of Russian troops en
tered the town yesterday and reoccupied
the guard houses. This action was In
consequence of the weakness displayed by
the Ch:nese authorities who do not ful
fill their promises and owing to general
ferment prevailing here."
The rumor coming front Japanese
sources relative to the erection of Russian
forts on the Yalu river, Korea, are de
clared to be exaggerated. It is explained
that only a rampart has been built for the
protection of the Russian settlements
against the COunchus.
The reports of the entry of Japanese
troops into Korea are also unconfirmed
and the anti- Russian demonstrations in
Japan are now stated to be less frequent.

DISASTER.
COLONEL HOLLAND AND 20
OTHERS ALSO INJURED
Pullman In Which Holland and Mrs.
Booth-Tucker Were Riding Was De
molished When Express Dashed
Into an Open Switch and
Was Wrecked.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
'Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 29.-Mrs. Emma
Booth-Tucker, consul in America of the
Salvation Army, wife of Commander
Booth-Tucker and second daughter of
William Booth, founder of the army, was
killed in the wreck of the eastbound
California train No. a, near Dean Lake,
Mo., 85 miles east of Kansas City at to
o'clock last night.
Col. Thomas C. Holland, in charge of
the Salvation Army at Amity, Colo., was
fatally injured. Twenty others were in
jured. The dead and injured were taken
to Fort Madison, Ia.
Mrs. Booth-Tucker was rendered uncon
scious and died within half an hour after
being injured. Her skull was fractured
and she was injured internally.
The first details of the wreck were ob
tained this morning by the Associated
Press over the long distance telephone
from Marceline, through Dr. D. B. Put
nam, who had been at the scene.
Into Open Switch.
The wrecked train left Kansas City last
evening. It ran into an open switch Just
outside of Dean Lake. Only the three
last cars, two Pullmans and a diner were
wrecked. The Pullmans were completely
demolished, while the diner was badly
damaged.
In the forward Tullman, Mrs. Booth
Tucker and Colonel Holland, who were
the sole occupants of that car, had just
gone to the forward end for a consulta
tion. Two of the Pullmans struck a steel
water tank with such force as to move it
five feet. When the crew reached the
scene both Mrs. Booth-Tucker and Colonel
Holland were found unconscious.
They with the other injured, after much
delay, were taken to the depot platform
a few blocks distant, where everything
possible was done for them.
Neither regained consciousness, and
within 'half an hour the noted Salvation
Army leader succumbed to her injuries.
For a time it was believed that the un
conscious man at her side was Commander
Booth-Tucker and in the confusion this
report was spread.
Wrecking trains were sent from Mar
celine and other points and the dead and
injured started for Fort Madison, Iowa.
The train broke down after going a short
distance and Marceline, the next station,
was not reached until a o'clock in the
morning. Physicians were taken on at
'Marceline and the train proceeded north.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Portland, Ore., Oct. a9.-In the hopes
of clearing up the mystery which sur
rounds the assault on Frank M. McBride,
which occurred last Sunday night at the
corner of Second and Hall streets, the
woman known as Mrs. McBride No. a,
and McBride were summoned to the office
of the chief of police yesterday afternoon.
Detective Weiner, preliminary to the in
vestigation, told Mrs. McBride that he
intended to search her.
Although she rebelled the search was
made, but without result. Hardly had the
detective concluded than Mrs. McBride
drew a revolver from the bosom of her
dress and pointing it at McBride, cried:
"I'll kill you now."
The detective snatched the gun from the
woman, thus preventing the threatened
tragedy.
The interview was conducted behind
closed doors, but it is stated that an un
derstanding was reached and the two left
the station together. The police, however,
fear that the woman will yet carry out
her threat to kill McBride.

Parks was not looking well when he en
tered court today and in response to Mr.
Osborne's greeting he said that he had
not slept well.
Assistant District Attorney Rand said
that the prosecution would rest today, and
the general impression is that the case
will go to the jury not later than tomor

application for the discharge of the pris
oner because of defective ltlictnttnt. The

you, that this charge of extortion is ah.
surd. Parks and the Tiifany Itet e paid
an initiation fee of $500 for being putt on
