is the latest Chinese version or the
sinking of the troop ship Kow Shung,
chartered by China from the China
Merchants' Trading and Steamship
company: When the Kow Shung was
overhauled by the Japanese cruiser,
the latter sent a boat alongside the
transport, with a prize crew, to convey
her to Japan. The Jspanese boarded
her and ordered her commander.
Captain Galsworthy, an Englishman,
to proceed to Japan. The captain re
fused to obey this order,' and the
Japanese withdrew to report to the
commander of their cruiser. The lat
ter then opened fire on the transport,
uslm? the machine cans mounted in
the top of the Japanese ship. This
fire waa so well directed, inai it soon
cleared the Kow Shuns-'a decks. The
cruiser then discharged two torpedoes
at the transport, sinking her and
drowning nearly all of the 2,000 souls
oo board.

and a number of other foreign officers
were among those killed by the fire
from the tope oi the cruiser before
the torpedoes were discharged.
. The effect of the explosion o2 the
torpedoes is said to have been terrific
Gaping holes large enough to pull a
boat through were torn In the steam-
era aide and through these apertures
the waters rushed, drowning between
decks those who did not leap over
board. A large Chinese army crossed the

No details have been received of the
battle which is said to have taken
place at Asan between the Chinese
an4 Japanese forces.
It Is reported that several Chinese
steamers hare been captured and a
number of others destroyed at Taku
by Japanese cruisers. Steamers often
wait a week at Taku before they are
able to cross the bar, and It is said
there was quite a fleet of Chinese
steamships off of Taku when they
were surprised by the Japanese war
ships and either captured or sunk.

The Japaaeso Version.
Yokohama, Aug. 1. The following
official statement of the difficulties
between China and Japan, which led
to the outbreak of hostilities between
those countries, has been Issued by
the Jspanese government; .
Japan and China were approaching
a settlement of their difficulties when
China suddenly requested Japan to
withdraw her fleet from Corca and to
give a formal compliance with the
Chinese demands by the 20th. other
wise the whole Chinese forces wcrb
to land, and a sea advance upon
the part of China was to bj
made. The Japanese regarded this
as an ultimatum, but, acting
under the advice of the friendly pow
ers, they s greed to proposals in prin
ciple. In amended form, at the same
time declaring that if threatened
Chinese advance was made on the SOth
it would be regarded as an overt act.
It Is conjectured that the Japanese
naval commanders were Instructed to
be on the watch for the Chinese war
ships and. seeing the latter advancing
on Jnly ST, thjy opened fire.
The Japanese do not believe that
the Kow Shung, the Chinese trans
port sunk by a Japanese cruiser, was
flying the British flag, but was using
the flag as a ruse. They indignantly
deny the charges of brutality brought
against the officers and crew of the
cruiser which sunk the Chinese trans
port Kow Shung. No official report
cas been received at
Yokohama of
this engagement

Guthrie, 01c. Aug. 1. The little
city of Chandler, forty miles east of
here, was Monday the scene of one of
the hottest bank robberies In the his
tory of the territory, the particulars
of which reached here at a late hour
last nlghL About 10 o'clock five men
rode Into the town dressed as cow
boys and armed to the teeth, and pro
ceeded at once to the alley In the rear
of the Lincoln county bank.
All of the men dismounted, one held
the horses, one entered the front door
of the bank and two the back door,
while one remained guard outside,
the first man to enter stepped up to
the teller a window and ahoving a
! Winchester Into the face of Harvey
Kee. president ox the bank, ordered
him "to shell out the cash and be
quick about IL too.
The second bandit took care of the
cashier. U. B. Kee, who was at work
on the books, while the third went
Into a back room and compelled IrB.
Hoy t, who was lying verv sick, to get
up and open the safe, lie attempted
to comply, but fell exhausted in front
of the safe door, and the robber then
snapped hia Winchester in his face,
but luckily It did not go off.
By this time firing was heard on the
outside and the men seized all the
currency on the counters, about $300,
and rsn. The first man to give the
alarm waa J. B. Mitchell, a barber.
He saw the men In the bank and cried
out: "The Dal ton gang la in town"
and started into his shop but fell dead
In the doorway, pel reed through the
heart by a bullet from the Winches
ter of the bandit on guard outside the
bank.
A moment later the robbers mount
ed their horses and rode away. A
ball from a citizen's rifle brought
down one horse.but the rider mounted
behind a pal, and just out of town, as
another horse waa shot, two farmers
were robbed of their horses and the
five rode on. In ten minutes Sheriff
Parker waa in hot pursuiL
About ten miles out the bandits
made a stand and a battle ensued, in
which several hundred shots were
fired, and one bandit shot through the
hips and captured, the rest of the
gang acattering in the timber. The
wounded robber ia but 20 years old
and gives his name as Elmer Lucas.
He sars the others were Bill and Tom
Cook. Jack Starr and Tulsa Jack, who
loined the gang in the Creek country
but a week ago.
They had been around Chandler
several daya getting the lay of the
land. The robbers are now in the
mountains of the Creek country and
there is but little hope of capturing
any more of them. The wounded rob
ber will live. Mitchell, the citizen
shot, was 53 years old, and leaves a
wife and two children in poor circum
stances. The Kansas Cora Crop.
Topxka, Kan., Aug. 1. The Kan
sas weekly weather bulletin shows
that no rain fell in Kansas last' week
except a few very light showers. The
corn crop has not been hurt in about

others it has been almost entirely de

they could get away. Great suffering

Mndge of Topeka, general superinten

denied the reports of a probable strike
on the Santa Fe because of new con
tracts with labor organizations. Mr.
Mndge said that no demand that the
men sign agreements denouncing labor
organizations had been made by the
company or will be made, and that
statements to the contrary are circu
lated by strikers to cause discontent
among the men. It was thought at
one time, he said, that the companny
would quit dealing with labor organ

by the company so well during the
labor troubles, that to make radical

DEBS MADE A SPEECH.
Be Addressed a Largo . Aadloaoo at
Terr Haate.
Txrsx Haute, Ind., Jnly 31. Packed
like sardines were the people who
listened to President Debs, of the A.
R. U., In the opera house Saturday
nighL The theater never held such a
crowd, and hundreds were turned
away. Many ladies were presenL
Debs was enthusiastically received.
He said: Thia waa a crisis brought
about first by the inhuman cruelty
and oppression of Pullman toward his
employes; secondly, by the railway
deciding to stand by Pullman In his
oppression; third, by an understand
ing among the railway managers that
it was necessary to crush the railway
union.
Debs then said that he had always
been in favor of arbitration and op
posed to strikes until the gauntlet
was thrown down and an effort made
to crush organized labor and there
was a time when not to strike meant
degradation and dishonor, and this
was that time. He made quite a
lengthy address and was vociferously
applauded.
The labor leader did not admit de
feat, but on the contrary he declared
that the war against Pullman would
be carried to the bitter end. He said
further that so far as he was con
cerned this was the last strike in
which he should engage and that
hereafter he would fight out the bat
tle along political lines, appealing to
the ballot for restitution of the la
borers rights.
THEY STAYED THEIR HANDS.
Ur. He Bride Explains Why There TV as
No General Strike.
Massillox, Ohio, Jnly 30. John Mc-
Bride, president of the United Mine
Workers, says that the Chicago trou
ble is over for the present at least,but
"simply because the heads of labor
organizations of this country refused
to call out their men.
"We knew," he said, 'that to caU
out 150,000 men in Chicago and 1,000,
000 elsewhere meant a terrific clash,
civil war and perhaps revolution. We
stayed our hands in the interests of
peace.
"I think we are nearlng a socialistic
condition, when the individual will be
the charge of the state.
'I would not be surprised to see be
fore the next year such a union be
tween the American Federation of
Labor and other organizations and the
People's party as would lead to politi
cal success.
44There never would have been any
strike outside of Pullman had it not
been for the action of the general
managers. .
"Debs' idea at the outset was to de
clare a boycott on Pullman cars and
urge the public to keep out of them.
The managers declared a war of ex
termination upon the American Rail
way Union, and the latter, to main
tain its own existence, was obliged to
resort to the strike.
For a National Arbitration Board.
WAsnntOTOX, July 3L Representa
tive Erdman of Pennsylvania has re
ported to the house from the
committee on labor the . Springer
bill for a national board of
arbitration. He says that the
committee believes a permanent
board will be more effective in the
settlement of disputes than would a
special board created in each case.
The bill does not assume to compel
arbitration where neither party to
the controversy is willing to submit
the case; no new penalties are im
posed by it, and no new rights or priv
ileges granted.
Deb Granted en Appeal.
Chicago, July 3a President Debs
and the American Railway union
leaders have been granted an appeal
to the United States court of appeals
in the chancery proceedings in the
United States circuit court. The ap-
Kal was granted by Judge Woods at
dlanapolis and the order was re
ceived by mail to-aay. The appeal
will stop proceedings in the circuit
court under the bill filed July 2 on be
half of the railroads, but it leaves the
injunction in force and does not inter
fere with the contempt proceedings
against Debs and his associates.
The Saata Fe aad Its Employee.
Topeka, Kan., July 31. General Su
perintendent Mudge, of the Santa Fe,
denies the report that a strike is con
templated by employes of that road
on account of a proposed abrogation
of existing contracts with engineer,
conductors and firemen. He says:
The statement is annoying, but it wTl
do us no harm, because all the chair
men of all the , orders in question un
derstand there is no truth in iL It is
simply the A. R. U. making a last ef
fort to stir up a row."
