Ailniinistration I; Eager to With-
draw the Troops From China.
Washington', Aug. 29.—The cabinet
m"eri:ig today was devoted entirely to p
di-vas.-ioa of the diplomatic phases oi
th- situation in Cnina. No statemen
as to any of the questions discussed was
made public.
Washington, Aug. 29.—The calling
of a special cabinet meeting for this
morning to consider the latest develp-
meuts in the Chinese situation fallow
ing a midnight conference last nighi
and several similar conferences with
Secretary Root and Mr. Adee within the
last two days, emphasized the amount
of att'cition the president is devoting to
tins troublesome topic,
fearon Speck Von Sternberg, the Gor
man charge, saw Acting Secretary Adeo
this morning, and it is understood bis
purpose was to talk over the question of
the credentials of Li Huug Chang. The
efft-i-r of Germany’s refusal to accept Li
as plenipotentiary will be to delay peace
negotiations several weeks.
Hence this Tact is not contemplated
with equanimity [by gear government,
the president being desirous of termi
nating the present unsatisfactory state
of affairs in China as soon as this can be
done with honor and security, and pro
viding the objects laid down in bis vari
ous notes can be attained, he will con
sider that the United States has psr-
i'ermed its duty from a military point of
view.
Will Conclude an Agreement.
Therefore, if our government can find
some responsible person with whom to
conclude an agreement if such au agree
ment can be arranged on a basis that
will fully conserve the rights of the
United States without infringing upon
those of the other powers, a
speedy withdrawal of the United
States troops from China may ho
expected, and it is entirely possible that
Field Marshal Count Waldersee will not,
after all, exercise command over any
American troops in China.
lie vend a short message relative to
th-- munition at Amoy, which is still re
garded as threatening, the state depart
ment, had nothing to make public this
morning.
The diplomatic, rather than the mili
tary situation, is still regarded as of su
preme importance. Again Mr. Wu, tho
Gaines-' minister, was an early caller at
tiie state department. He was much
cisrurbed in mind over the reiterated
report that the foreign admirals aro
g ang to restrain Earl Li’s liberty of
o immuuication with his own govern
ment.
It is-stated at the war department
that preparations are being made for
wintering 5,000 troops in China. This
arrangement! is made in order ,to guard
against a failure of peace negotiations.

sembly district. Tammany Hall was
successful in holding control of the
Democratic organization in all districts.
Jelin C. Sheehan failed to recapture tho

Mob Avenges the Murder of a
Year-Old Girl.
Gilman, Ills., Aug. 27.—Two men
killed, three wounded—two of them per
haps fatally, one woman wounded aud
her residence burned are the results of
au all night battle between a mob aud
Mrs. Dr. O. W. Wright, who was ac
cused of the murder of Dessie Salter,
the 16-ycar-cid daughter of a citizen of
Gillmau.
Dead: Jo'lttn Myers, laborer employed
by Mrs. Dr. Wright.
Michael Ryan, citizen, serving as dep
uty constable.
Fatally wounded: Lawrence Ryan,
brother of the dead man, wounded in
the abdomen; George Willoughby, shoi
through the left lung; Mrs. Dr. C. W
Wright, shot through the right shoul
der, the bullet taking downward course.
Seriously wounded: Peter Laur, a
member of the citizens’ attacking party,
shot through the stomach.
Early in the evening the first act of
the tragedy was enacted when Consta
ble Nilstead went to the house in the
outskirts of the town, occupied by Mrs.
Wright, to serve on the occupant a war
rant sworn out after the coronor’s jury
had declared her guilty. A number of
deputies were with Constable Nilstead.
Mrs. Wright barred the door and iu
forcing au entrance the constab'es en
countered unexpected opposition.
Kyat! Shot Down.
They broke the outer door open and en
tered the darkened rooms. Michael
Ryan felt his way across the first room
and was about to enter the door of the
inner apartment when a shot rang out
aud he fell dead. The constables made
a hurried exit and formed a picket line
around the buildiug. At regular inter
vals they fired into the building in tho
hope that the occupants would sur
render, but without success. Finally it
was determined to set fire to the build
ing. The receut raiu had so dampened
its timbers that the fire would not catch,
and after burning some outbuildings
the posse gave up the attempt and fell
back to the. original plan of driving out
Mrs. Wright.
About 2 o’clock the family of Michael
Ryau arrived. The dead man had been
carried to the bushes near the house
where lie met his death. A mob of
probably 250 people had gathered, most
of whom were armed.
3Iob Applies the Torch.
They seized dozens of bundles oi
straw, saturated them with petroleum,
piled them against the front and sides
of the house aud applied the torch. Shot
after shot rang from the upper window
and George Willoughby, a local repre
sentative of the Standard Oil company,
fell with a bullet iu the left side.
The next victim was Peter Laur of the
attacking party. These casualties so
angered the crowd that they fired iuro
the house as fast as they could load their
firearms. Contrary to expectation no
screams followed the progress of the
flames and the mob began to think that
the inmates of the burning house had
been killed. Suddenly from a bunch of
timber in the rear several shots came iu
the direction of the mob. They were
answered 100 to one and the fire was
quickly sileuced. Members of the mob
rushed to the timber and found the body
of John Myers, a blacksmith, who had
been employed by Mrs. Wright. He
was shot in a dozeu places about the
head and shoulders, showing that he
had been lying on his face firing at his
enemies when he met death. Near by
lay Mrs. Wright, a ragged hole in her
right shoulder.
3Irs. Wright Wounded.
She had also been wounded while
lying down in the same position as John
Myers.
The mob carried her down town to the
council clumber and physicians set to
work in au endeavor to bring her to con
sciousness. It is probable that she will
not recover. The mob immediately dis
persed. It had been reported that there
were three women iu the house, besides
Urs. Wright, but no signs of them have
been found. The house was destroyed
with its contents.
Mrs. Dr. Wright was about 50 years
old. It is stated that she was formerly
au actress. For some time she has been
conducting a lying-in hospital on the
outskirts of Gilman. The death of Des-
sie Salter took place in the house last
Friday.
Attempted to Lynch Sirs. Wright.
Miss Salter’s body was taken to her
home under cover of darkness early Sat
urday morning. No coffin was pro
cured and she was wrapped in an old
blauket and piece of carpet aud buried.
After the jury had heard the evidence
of Clarence Salter, father of the girl,
the coroner came to the conclusion that
it was injudicious to wait louger for
Mrs. Wright’s arrest aud a warrant was
sworu out by the police magistrate for
her arrest.
When Madame Wright, was brought
to the city hali aud a strong guard was
placed over her, a crowd soon assembled
and threats of lynching were uttered.
Every effort was made to disperse the
mob, but the mob made another demon
stration, smashing in the windows with
stones aud clubs. This terminated in
the house being fired into through a win
dow by one of the mob, barely missing
-.he woman. The officer finally restored
aider, but it seemed probable that there
svould be further trouble.
Pile of Human Bones.
St. Augustine, Fla., Aug. 28.—Rather
a gruesome aud Interesting discovery
was recently made at Espanita. A little
bov went home with- a bone he. had
found. Upon investigation a pile of
bones and skulls was discovered a short
distance from tire surface of fclie ground.
From the heap 15 well preserved skulls
were taken. It is believed that they are
the bones of some of the Huguenots,
who were massacred somewhere in that
locality by the Spaniards. One of the
skulls was fractured, but the others
were in a good state of preservation.

They Arc Charged With Killing a

Canton, Ga., Aug. 27.—Mrs. Dolly ;
Pritchett and her sister, Nelia Peak, an ,
in jail charged with murdering au iu-;
faut of the former.
The Pritchett woman’s father lives iu >
Miltou county, aud Mrs. Peak’s husband j
is now iu Atlanta jail for blockading.!
The Peak woman probably had nothing |
to do with the infanticide, but is held iu i
jail as a witness. Mrs. Peak seems ill-
fated aud quite unfortunate in being
a witness to exciting occurrences. Shu
was on the roadside a few mouths ag i
when Herschel I.-owrey was shot from
ambush by some unknown party in this
county, and later when Jim Hubbard
fell dead iu his house uear Cherokee.
As this case develops other arrests
may be made aud charges of a very seri
ous nature be sustained against the
women and one or more men.

railroad is progressing rapidly. The
road will be 7 miles long, extending
from Hanceville to the properties of the
Stout Mountain Coal and Coke company.
The mines are being opened up and will
soon be in operation.
The completion of this road will mean
the development of a district rich in
minerals. There are rich coal lands in
the western part of this county and cap
italists are being interested in the mat
ter of building a road to them. Nearly
all of the coal consumed here is hauled
iu wagons from these mines. The pro
duct is of a superior quality and the
supply is abundant.

Senator Tillman’s Name Scratched.
Another Primary Necessary.
Columbia, S. O., Ang. 29.—The Dem
ocratic primary was attended by many
surprises. The general election is a
mere ratification of the primary, aud all
interest centers in the latter.
The issue has been dispensary or pro
hibition. Colonel James A. Hoyt of
Greenville was the prohibition nominee,
aud the dispensary was represented by
Governor M. B. McSweeuey; F. B.
Gary, speaker of the house of represen
tatives, A. Howard Patterson aud Rev.
Walt Whitman.
The prohibitionists assailed the dis
pensary, aud the champions of the dis
pensary fell out among themselves. Pat
terson viciously attacked Governor Mc-
Sweeney.
Senator Tillman, who claims pater
nity for the dispensary, came iuto the
campaign and fought Colonel Hoyt. As
a result of this interference- Tillman’s
| name was scratched by 18,000 voters,
although h.e has no opponent.
Colonel Hoyt will probably lead Hc-
Sweeney by 10,000 votes. There will be
a second primary in two weeks.
A surprise was the large vote received
by J. H. Tillman for - lieutenant gov
ernor. He is a nephew of the senator.
He will run it over with Colonel John
T. Sloan.
It will probably be several days before
complete returns are in.
