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.

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.

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. POLICEMAN KILLS A NEGRO.

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.

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.
