Carballders Will Lay It Before the

Changed the Situation — Moulders
May Go on Strike Monday.
St. Louis, Jane 29.—The work of es
tablishing bos lines by the street car
strikers to compete with the St. Louis
Transit oompany in carrying passengers
is progressing. The oommittee that has
the matter in charge reports that (3,000
has been raised for that purpose and
that 22 vehicles are now regularly run
ning. It is the intention to divide the
city into districts and establish regular
lines that will give the public ample ser
vice to any part of the city. An appeal
will be made to th- public to assist in
establishing these lines.
There is considerable interest evinced
in the decision of the 1,600 employes of
the St Lcmis Gar company who have
been asked to ride on the cars of the
Transit company- The request was
made by President Charles Kobusch,
who explained that unless the men
agreed to ride on the Transit cars, the
chances were that the company would
be compelled to shut down the plant,
which secured its power from the Tran
sit company. The matter will be left to
a vote of the Corbuilders and Furnish
ers unions, to which the men belong.
President Kobusch said:
"We have a contract with the Transit
oompany involving upward of $700,000.
The request was made by us to our em
ployes because the Transit company is a
customer of ours for whom we ao a great
deal of work, and of every dollars'
worth of business that the company
does 40 per cent of it is distributed
among onr employes. I feel that if the
Transit company’s money is good enough
for them to earn here the Transit com
pany's cars are good enough for them to
ride in, whether there be a boycott or
no boycott. The request was not a com
pulsory one. We simply asked them to
tide in the cars if they had the interest
of the St. Louis Oar company at heart. ”

It Is Impossible to Deduce a Satisfac
tory Conoiuslon From Advices Re

at Peking—London Nor Berlin Have
Anything Definite.
London, June 29.—The fact that a
large international force is on its way to
Peking is taken in London.to mean that
the commanders at Taku and Tien Tsin
consider that "some one at the capital
stands in need -of relief,
oepted, supporting the hope that the le
gations have been kept in safety there.
But it is impossible to deduce a satisfac
tory conclusion from the absolutely
tagonistic telegrams, the most contra
dictory of which appear to emanate from
the same scarce, the viceroy of Nankin.
The viceroy’s strange report that the
ministers were turanging peace terms
remains unexplained.
The general tenor of the news is re
garded as showing that the foment may
do cooling, and the Chinese government
is preparing to disavow the promoters of
the outbreak.
Hong-Kong reports th*t; the viceroy of
Kwang-Si province has called out the

REMEY HURRYING TO TAKU.
Brooklyn Will Bo Ready For Service
When She Arrives.
■Washington, June 29. — Admiral
Kempff has acknowledged the error he
had made in reporting the presence of
the foreign ministers with Admiral Sey
mour’s column 8 miles out from Poking.
His cablegram admits that there is no
knowledge of their whereabouts, and it
is assumed tho error in the first report
arose from the admiral’s acceptance of
rumor that was generally current at the
time the cablegram was sent.
The fact that the admiral's message is
, dated at Che Foo warrants the supposl-
Uprising Is Feared at Canton—Many
Criminals Executed.
Canton, June 29.—While the general
situation hero is unchanged an uneasy
fooling prevails. An imperial mandate
from Peking directs Viceroy Li Hung
Chang to remain in Canton for the pres
ent. An uprising is foared in case of
his departure.
The numerous daily criminal execu
tions by order of the viceroy show his
realization of the serious condition of
affairs and his firm intention to prevent
trouble. He is threatened by the mob
with assassination if he should leave the
city,
FATAL FIRE IN
One Man Killed and. 11 Injured By

Pittsburg, June 29.—One . fireman

nearly $400,000 worth of property was
destroyed in a fire that broke out in the
machine shops of the Best Manufactur
ing company on Twenty-sixth street
shortly after 6 o’clock.
About 260 men will be thrown out of
employment by the fire. The insurance
will fully cover the loss. The origin of
the fire is a mystery.
Two Slaughter Houses Burned.
Chicago, June 29. — Two slaughter

P ,- r - rCD||Dr . | tion that telegraphic communication has
I 1 odUKU been restored between that point and
Taku, where the foreign fleet lies.
There is, however, a possibility that the
admiral could get a dispatch across from
Taku to Che Foo on the same date by
poshing the York town, which has been
used as a dispatch boat.
Admiral Kempff's news has added to
the depression In official quarters.
Admiral Rewey is pushing the Brook
lyn with all dispatoh toward Taku, and
he cables that he will soil from Hong-
Kong northward at once. His main care
will be to arrive at Taku with full ooal
bunkers, thus malting sure that the
Brooklyn will bo ready for any s&vice
required when she reaches that port.
Hence his announced arrival at Na

will be rowed in one day and in the last
race the varsity eight’s five osews will

Preparing to Meet Any Emergency.
W ismNGTON, June 29.—Some of the
members of the cabinet who were pres
ent at the meeting could not geo. the
least change for the better in tit Chi
nese situation. Members said that noth
ing had been heard of the ministers sta
tioned at Peking, and this fact was
causing the greatest alarm for their
safety. It was stated that matters were
being put in shape to meet any emer-
:y. While unwilling to admit that
„ j for Conger’s safety was fast fading
they felt that their gravest fears might
be realized at any time. In conclusion,
it is said that the most recent reports
which had reached the government
pointed to the legationers being still at
Peking.
No Tidings of the Ministers.

foreign office here has received no far
ther official information either

Berlin, June 29.—The German con

tween Taka and Tien Tsin is still threat
ened and the bombardment Of Tien Tsin
on the west continues, although the
Chinese shells explode badly.
Irregularities Disclosed Ii
Three Men.
Atlanta, June 29.—An investigation
of the state prison reoords has disclosed
the fact that there are three men serv
ing life terms whose sentences are ille
gal. The men were convicted of crim
inal assault with a recommendation to
mercy. Under the law such a sentence
is an impossibility, as in case of convic
tion the law provides the death penalty.
Where a recommendation to the mercy
of the court is made the statute provides
that the defendant shall be sentenced as -
for an assault with intent to outrage,
the penalty for which is from one to 90
years.
The victims of these judicial errors
are Gordon White, convicted in Olay
county in 1890; Albert Johnson, con
victed in Jasper county in 1893, and
Willis Greer, convicted in Early county
in 1897.
Kit Boston of Ooweta county and
Cooper Smith of Musoogee areuialso serv
ing Ilf e sentenoes for the same crimes
They were convicted and sentenced to
death, but their punishment was com
muted to life imprisonment by the gov
ernor. The question is raised in these
cases as to whether the governor has the
power to commute the death sentence.
Tho first three will, necessarily, have
to be resentenced.

It is added that the artilleryman who
