Washington.—The arrest of Gen.

not requested by the Mexican govern
ment,” Haiti Secretary Knox. “The pol

I). S. SOLDIERS FOR CHINA
REGIMENT WILL LEAVE MANILA
FOR PORT IN STRIKING DIS
TANCE cTf PEKIN.
Line Between Pekin and the Sea
Will Be Kept Open by
U. S. Troops.
Washington.—The state department
has practicaly decided to send a reg
iment of troops from .Manila to Chin
wingtao, a seaport in China, about 250
miles from Pekin on the Gulf of Pe
chili. The purpose is to perform an
international duty under the Boxer
treaty in keeping open the line of
communication between Pekin and
the sea.
It was said at the state department
that request for the troops has not
yet been made on the war department,
but it was momentarily expected. The
officials were careful to make it ap
pear that the dispatct of these troops
to China would he absolutely without
any political meaning and the move
ment was not to be construed as in
tervention.
Under the treaty which terminated
the Boxer troubles the United States,
with other powers, was accorded the
privilege of maintaining a military
force along the line of railway be
tween Pekin and the sea in order to
guard against such an event as the
siege of the legations during the Box
er uprising. j
Beyond the maintenance of a ma
rine guard of one hundred men (ohiy
recently and temporarily increased’
to- two hundred), the United States
has never availed itself of this permia
Sion and it has fallen to the lot of
other' nations, principally Great Brit
ain,’ France and Japan, to maintain
sfnall (garrisons along the line of. the
.road frtjra Tien Tsin to Pekin. It is
felt (but'it ft now incumbent upon the
’United ’States' to perform Its part of
this duty, hence the decision-to em
ploy some troops to supplement the
marine guard.
JAIL FOR HEADS OF TRUST
Law Will Imprison B*g Industrial
Offenders.'
Washington.—"Felons' stripes" as a
punishment for "trust criminals'’ in
the United States, to end "commercial
piracy under benevolent ‘rules of rea
son,’ ” are proposed in a hill amend
ing the Sherman anti trust law draft
ed by Representative Henry of Tex
as, to be introduced in the house upon
the opening of congress next month.
Its introduction probably will mean
its passage in "the house.
The bill specifically defines just
what constitutes a trust, legislates
from the present statute the “rule of
reason” as interpreted by the Supreme
court in the Standard Oil and Tobacco
decisions and provides as punishment
for violation of the law imprisonment
from two to ten years. It will be re
ferred to the judiciary committee for
deliberation.
Representaive Henry, who has
been conferring with Representative
Clayton of Alabama, chairman of the
judiciary committee, and other Demo
cratic leaders, completed the draft of
the proposed changes in the much-dis
cussed statute.
“Aerial Somnipathy,” New Disease.
Pasadena, Cal—"Etherial asphyia,
or aerial somnipathy.’’ is what Gal
braith P. Rodgers, trans-continental av
iator, declares attacked him when be
fell near Compton, Cal., on the last
flight of his cross country trip. Fur
thermore. Rodgers asserts this is what
caused the deaths of many other avi
ators. “It lurks in the pockets of the
upper air strata," he said, “and creeps
irresistibly upon the sense of the avi
ator, lulling him into unconscious
ness."
Beattie's Last Hope Gone.
Richmond. Va. —With the frank and
emphatic statement that he believed
absolutely in the prisoner’s guilt, Gov
ernor Mann declined to grant a res
pite to Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., con
victed in Chesterfield county Septem
ber S of wife murder. The refusal
of the governor to interfere with the
sentence which the supreme court de
clared to be plainly right, means that
Beattie will die in the electric chair
at the state penitentiary on Friday,
November 24.

ADVISES PROBING COTTON
U. S Judge Charges Federal Grand
, budy to investigate.
Savannah. Ga. Judge Speer's
charge to the United States grand
jury was featured by his presenta
tion to that body of the present low
price of cotton and the probable
forces that are at work holding the
price down. During the course of
his charge he read an interview with
the attorney general of the United
States touching on the probable pros
ecution by the government of the cot
ton "bears’’ for holding the price of
cotton so low.
The judge charged that it would be
the duty of the grand jury to investi
gate such conditions, if any existed,
in the southern districts of Georgia,
and frame their bills accordingly.
He charged that it would not be
necessary for any instructions to be
received from the attorney general
before that body could proceed

GACERESJS KILLED
ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT
OF DOMINGO USHERS IN A
REVOLUTION.
CARERES KILLED HEREAUX
For Some Time There Has Been a
Movement Looking to Overthrow
Administration.
San Domingo.—The president of
the republic. General Ramon Caceres,
has been assassinated.
The president was set upon by a
small band and killed while riding in
his coach on a public road. So far,
nothing has developed to indicate a
rising. The country is quiet.
Washington.—President Caceres of
the Dominican republic was shot as
he left the house of Leonte Vasquez
in San Domingo City, where he had
made a call. He died half an hour
later in the American legation,
whither he was taken. The first
shots of his assailants, Luiz Tejera
and Jaime Mote, Jr., according to ad
vices received at the state depart
ment, were not effective.
The wounded president first sought
shelter in a stable adjoining the
American legation, but his assailants
pursued him thither and. in closing in
upon him. fired more shots. Friends
of President Caceres dragged him in
a dying condition to the American le
gation, where he died. The assassins
fled to San Cristobal. Charge Endicott
reports that the city is quiet, and is
patrolled by guards.
Minister Russell, who represents
the United States in the (Dominican
republic, is now at his home near the
city. He has arranged to leave for
Havana, ( whence he will cross Cuba
to Ouantanamao. If no commercial
steamer is at hand, he probably will
be transported to San Domingo by
one of the naval gunl>oats now at
Guantanamao.
President Caceres’ somewhat stormy
career is recalled by officials here,
who are familiar with the peculiar
Domniican temperament. It is rumor
ed that the president himself was
the slayer of the redoubtable old dic
tator, Hereaux, in 1899, as he alleged,
jn, self-defense. It is likewise known
lliat relatives of the former president
always cherished a desire that the
death of their kinsman be avenged.
It is pointed out that, irrespective
of the cause of the assassination, se
rious complications seize upon the
present disturbed condition of the
country to further their own ends.
These considerations lead to the be
lief that Dominica is about to enter
npjpn another troubled t cliapter in her
history. •’
MANY FOREIGNERS KILLED
Massacre of Missionaries and Others
Has Occurred in Sian-Fu, China.
Pekin. —Chinese officials confirm
the report that a massacre of for
eigners. as well as Manchusft lias oc
curred at Sian-Fu. The legations be
lieve that the report will prove true.
There were forty foreigners in Sian-
Fu, and many missioueries in the
smaller Shen-Si towns. Up to the
present only Chinese reports have
been received regarding the massa
cre. There has been no telegraphic or
postal communication with Sian-Fu
for inor than three weeks.
The Swedish missionaries, Messrs.
Sandberg and Erickson, arirved here
from Tien Tsin. They said a tele
gram had been received from south
ern Shen-Si, announcing the murder
of Mrs. Beckman, a school mistress,
ami five foreign children.
Many Chinese girls in Miss Beck
ingdaie's school who were mistaken
for Manchus because of their big
feet, were also reported to have been
murdered. A German. Philip Man
ners, who is in the Chinese postal
service, was among others killed.
Messrs. Sandberg and Erickson say
that a magistrate in their town offer
ed them S4OO each to leave the prov
ince. Shen-Si probably is the most
anti-foreign province in China proper,
not having received a lesson at the
hands of the foreign troops in 1900.
Nowhere else, apparently, have for
eigners been attacked, the rebels ev
erywher givn them protetion, but it
is fared that lawlessness must in
crease. The imperial government is
powerless beyond Ho-Nan and Chi-Li.
Fcr Square Deal Combine Pleads.
Jefferson City, Mo. —Quoting Colo
nel Roosevelt's recent declaration for
a “square deal" for both the corpora
tions and the public, the International
Harvester company filed in the su
preme court of Missouri a motion for
a rehearing in the recent case, in
which it was conditionally ousted
from the state and fined $50,000 on
charges of violating the state anti
trust law. The gist of the motion is
that the Harvester company ought
not to be punished for the mere pos
session of power.

MARRIED AND
UNMARRIED
LADIES
Will Find Some Useful Advice in
the Words of Mrs. Jay McGee
of Stephenville.
Stephenviiie, Tex. —“For nine years,”
says Mrs. Jay McGee, of this place, “I
suffered from womanly troubles. I
had terrible headaches and pains in
my back, etc.
My husband suggested Cardui to
me, but I did not think anything would
do me any good.
It seemed as if I would die, I suf
fered so! At last, I consented to try
Cardui, and it seemed to help me,
right away. I was interested, and con
tinued Its use.
The full treatment not only helped
me, but It cured me.
It will do the same for all sick and
suffering girls or women—both mar
ried and unmarried.
I will always praise Cardui highly,
for it has been the means of saving
my life and giving me good health.”
Half a century of success, with thou
sands of cures, similar to the one de
scribed above, amply prove Cardui’s
real, scientific, medicinal merit.
Being purely vegetable, Cardui can
be taken safely by young and old, and
can do nothing but good. Its action
is very gentle, and without any bad
after-effects.
Why not benefit by the experience
of others? Try it, today.
