of identification is proceeding slowly,
as the bodies now being recovered are
in bad condition. Many mistakes are
(being made, in several cases the mat

Knar Met Death When Trains Came
Together.
Chicago, Aug. 9. —A mother and her

ber of other persons seriously injured
In a collision to-night between a
westbound Baltimore and Ohio local
passenger train, known as No. 17, and
a Chicago and Erie freight train at

FILIPINO CHIEFS PAID
PRESIDENT A VISIT.
Picturesquely, bat Unite Adequate
ly. They Were Garbed.
Washington, Aug. 9. —Picturesquely,
but quite adequately, garbed, a party
of eight Moro and Igorrote chiefs, con
stituting a part of the Philippine ex
hibit at the St. Louis Exposition, to
day paid their respects to President
Roosevelt at the White House.
The exchanges between the chiefs
and the President were informal, but
happy in their tone. Through Antero.
a bright 15-year-old Igorrote boy. who
acted as interpreter, the Moro Dattos
and the Igorrote chiefs expressed their
pleasure at being received by the Pres
ident, and told him he might depend
upon their loyalty to the American
government.
President Roosevelt, after shaking
hands with each one of his little brown
visitors, replied that he was glad of
the opportunity to greet them, to wel
come them to the national capital and
to assure them that the American gov
ernment desired to promote their wel
fare, prosperity and contentment. As
the President’s kindly expressions were
interpreted to thorn by Antero, the Dat
tos and chiefs nodded their heads in
approval and smiled their thanks.
The reception took place in the Pres
ident’s private office and adjoining the
Cabinet room. While it was in prog
ress, the members of the cabinet ar
rived to attend the regular semi-week
ly meeting. Each in turn was present
ed to the Filipinos, who paid them the
highest respect known to their people.
Before the conclusion of the recep
tion, the chiefs, through Antero, pre
sented to the President some handsome
native gifts, including two curiously
carved and beautifully embellished
spears and two shields, one
of closely woven native grass,
and the other of wood cov
ered with hide. After they left the
executive offices, the Filipinos were
shown through the White House. The
Moro chiefs were garbed in the native
costume of brilliantly embroidered
Japanese blouse and trousers, all elab
orately figured, and wore turbans of
the same material twisted loosely about
their heads. The Igorrotes wore com
plete suits of spotless white duck r.re
lieved by Oriental scarfs of brilliant
colors. The visitors were taken to the
War Department and driven in car
riages to all the public buildings.
TURKISH siTUATION
Dtscnssed at tlie NJeeting n t
the Cabinet.
■Washington, Aug. 9!—Secretary Hay
occupied considerable time at the cabi
net meeting to-day In a presentation
of the latest phases of the Turkish
situation. He explained the reasons
which had actuated him in requesting
that tjie American European squadron
should be sent to Smyrna. It is not
deemed wise by the Secretary that the
reasons for this action should be dis
closed entirely at this time.
Fresh negotiations with the Porte
have beeen instituted and in the event
of their failure, it may be that Minis
ter Leishman will leave his post and
go aboard the American flagship, thus
creating a situation of some serious
ness.
No Answer from the Porte.
Constantinople, Monday, Aug. S.—
The American legation has not yet re
ceived a reply from the Porte regard
ing the demand upon the Turkish gov
ernment for the same favored treat

Didn't Know It,
New York, Aug. 9. —In a statement
issued this afternoon, the detective
agency engaged in the search for $200,-
000 worth of jewels, the property of

ter part of July she reported her loss

BLOOD STREAMED
FROM SOLON’S NOSE
THE DIGNITY OF THE HOUSE
WAS OUTRAGED BY A FIST FIGHT
OF MEMBERS.
Franklin of Washington, Maples of
Mitchell and Doorkeeper Maples,
a Son of Mitchell’s Representative.
Were the Belligerents—The Elder
Maples’ Fist Brought the Blood
from Franklin's Nose—Committee
Will Investigate the Fight.
Atlanta, Aug. 9.—The session of the
House was enlivened to-day by a gen
uine fisticuff, in which the participants
were Hon. H. M. Franklin of Wash
ington and Doorkeeper Albert Maples
and his father, Hon. I. Maples of
Mitchell. As the result of the fracas,
Mr. Franklin's nose bled copiously,
while the other belligerents came out
of it apparently without a mark.
The trouble came about in this way;
The House was in the midst of a vote
on the bill to increase the judges’ sal
aries, and as it was an important
measure, Speaker Morris had instruct
ed the doorkeepers not to let any mem
ber leave the hall until the vote had
been completed. It seems Franklin
went to the door on the right and
started to go out into the room ad
joining the Speaker’s room, where
members frequently congregate to
smoke. Doorkeeper Maples refused to
let him go out.
Father Took a Hand.
There was a dispute about the mat
ter, which led to blows, and the fight
had gained considerable headway when
Representative Maples of Mitchell,
father of the young doorkeeper, rush
ed up and struck Mr. Franklin a heavy
blow- in the face, causing his nose to
bleed freely.
Mr. Franklin sought to strike back,
but iby that time some twenty mem
bers of the House, Avho were sitting
near toy, rushed into the breach and
soon separated the belligerents.
Speaker Morris was all the while
rapping for order, and as soon as it
had been restored, the Speaker, with
out prejudice to his part in the mat
ter, suspended Doorkeeper Maples un
til the matter could be investigated.
Mr. Evans of Washington stated that
his colleague, in the event it was con
sidered he had violated the dignity of
the House, said he was ready to make
public apology. Later, a resolution
was adopted, providing for the ap
pointment of a special committee of
five, “calm and collected,” members
to investigate the affair and report
what action the House should take in
the matter.
Says the Other Hit First.
Both Mr. Franklin and young
Maples claim the other struck the first
blow. Mr. Maples said he only went
to the aid of his son. who was attack
ed by a larger and older man, and he
wished he had struck him a still hard
er blow.
At the afternoon session, Speaker
Morris appointed the following com
mittee to investigate the matter:
Messrs. Mulherin of Richmond, chair
man, Stovall of Chatham, Knowles of
Floyd, Hixen of Sumter and Felder
of Bibb. The committee was called
together later in the afternoon for
the purpose of organization and the
usual preliminaries.

REPUBLICAN'S FIN DETAILS.
The Committee Forms Plans for the
I'ampnlau.
New York, Aug. 9.—The Republican
Executive Committee met to-day and
devoted most of its time to details re
lating to the headquarters, such as the
division of duties among different

SAVANNAH. GA.. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 10. 1901.
JAPANESE ARRANGING
TO MAKE AN ATTACK.
Mukden, Aug. 9.—The Japanese are
using the Shanhaikwang-Yinkow Rail
road for provisioning the army and
mobilizing troops for an attack on Sin
mintun, about thirty miles west of
Mukden.
Sinmintun is the northern terminus
of the Shanhaikwan Railway. From
Koupangtse, about seventy miles
southwest of Sinmintun, a branch line
connects with Yinkow, which is about
fifty-three miles southeast of Kou
pangtse.
A Russian correspondent of the As
sociated Press, in a dispatch from Ta
tchektao, about a month ago, said it
was believed that the Shankaikwan
Railway was then under control of the
Japanese, with the consent of China.
As early as March 29 last, the Shan
haikwan correspondent of the London
Daily Mail asserted that the Chinese
had received official authorization to
turn over the plant of the railway to
the Japanese. The Japanese are in
control of the Gulf of Liao Tung, and
should the statement in the dispatch
from Mukden prove to be correct. It
would indicate that they are landing
troops at Shanhaikwan, the southern
terminus of the railway, and transport
ing them to Sinmintun. The strategic
importance of the possession of the
railway, which was sought by the Rus
sians early in the war, was apparent.
FORMOSANFQRCES
WITH THE JAPANESE.
Liao Yang, Aug. 6.—(Delayed in
transmission.) —Gen. Kuropatkin is
ready to defeat the Japanese plan for
cutting off Liao Yang. The Japanese
forces are concentrated in three groups
—the first at Simoucheng, Haicheng
and New Chwang; the second threat
ening Liandiansian and Liao YAng,
and the third threatening Sikseyan,
Liao Yang and Mukden. According to
Chinese reports, the Japanese are
massing in the direction of Saimatsze,
evidently flanking Liao Yang, and a
strong column is ascending the Liao
valley from New Chwang, also for the
purpose of flanking Liao Yang.
A reliable Chinese merchant de
clares this column includes 10,000 Chin
ese. Japanese subjects from the island
of Formosa. This most unwelcome
development may induce other Chin
ese to join the Japanese. It is hard
to tell a Formosan from a Manchur
ian.
THINK JAPANESE ARE
RENEWING THE ATTACK.
Che Foo, Aug. 9, 8 p. m. —From a
source hitherto reliable it is said there
is good reason to believe the Japanese
are renewing their attack on the re
maining outer positions at Port Ar
thur.
The officers of the German cruiser
Fuerst Bismarck, lying at the outer
edge of this harbor, express the opin
ion that the firing heard last night was
an encounter between detachments of
the belligerent warships, approximate
ly twenty miles northwest of Che
Foo. From the cruiser’s advantageous
position the flushes preceding the de
tonations could be sden. However,
three steamers which entered the har
bor early this morning claim that they
did not hear any firing.
Two Junks also reached Che Foo to
day, but they had no Information of
importance.
RUSSIAN DETACHMENT
DROVE THE JAPANESE.
Sintsintin, Sixty-six Miles East of
Mukden, Manchuria, Monday, Aug. 9.
(Delayed In transmission).—A column
of Russian troops, consisting of two
companies of Cossacks, two companies
of sharpshooters, a company of infan
try and a couple of mountain guns, set
out Aug. 4 on the Sainratsze road, to
wards Tslanschan, thirty-six miles
southward, and drove in the Japanese
outposts.
A hundred men stubbornly resisted
at three oonsecutive passes, but were
routed by the Russian artillery, leav
ing ammunition and equipment behind
them. One Russian was killed and four
were wounded.
The Russians pursued the Japanese
as far as Tslansehan. According to
the Chinese, 2,000 Japanese are holding
that place.
BALTIC FLEET HAS~
SIXTY VESSELS IN IT.
Berlin, Aug. 10.—The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the I.okal Anzeiger
says that Rear Admiral Rpjestvensky,
commander of the Baltic fleet, has
hoisted his flag on the battleship Sou
varoff, and that the fleet, which con
sists of sixty vessels, including eight
battleships and nine cruisers, will
leave in the immediate future, prob
ably on Aug. 16.
The correspondent says it Is hoped
that the fleet will reach Its destina
tion within sixty days.
HEAVY RAINS A SIGN
OF HELP OF HEAVEN.
Liao Yang, Aug. 8 (Delayed in trans
mialson). Terrific rains yesterday
turned Liao Yang into a marsh
and almost destroyed the roada.
Later the sun shone brilliantly,
but the weather berime colder. The
soUders were drenched, but seemed
glad, and were heard to say: "It is the
help of heaven. The god of battles is
always with us.”
AROUND LIAO YANG
SITUATION THE SAME.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 9.—Lieut. Gen.
Sakbaroff telegraphs that there is no
change in the situation around Liao
Yang.
A Rusaian cavalry detachment has
made a successful raid toward New
Chwung, burning a village and alarm

STRIKERS WERE QUIET.
Cliit-ago Passed a Day Free from
Rioting.
Chicago, Aug. 9.—The stock yards
strike was more free of rioting to-day
than at, any time since the struggle
with the packers began four weeks
ago. With the exception of one small
disturbance in the downtown district
late in the afternoon, when friends of
the strikers discovered a wagon load of
meat being hauled through the streets
by a retail merchant because of the
strike of the teamsters, a crowd gath
ered and tried to overturn the vehicle,
butt they were dispersed before they
had accomplished much damage. The
day was practically free of violence.
The strike leaders spent the day in
seeing that the boycott against the
retail markets, which have been placed
under the ban of the unions was being
enforced. In some instances the strik
ers were successful in cutting off the
supply of ice. but in many of the places
the boycott did not work so well as
had been expected, the retailers being
able to haul what ice they required in
their own \yagons.
The packers claim that fully 80 per
cent, of the usual amount of work was
carried on ito-day. Between 600 and 700
new arrivals were added to the pack
ers’ force of employes to-day.
Night Brought Different Story.
An attempt to move meat from the
stock yards to the Fulton Market
on Randolph street, a distance of four
miles, caused a number of fights to
night between the police and a crowd
of strike sympathizers, who attempt
ed to prevent the passage through the
streets of the wagons bearing the
meat. Fully a hundred shots were
fired by the police and members of
the mob, but nobody was struck by
a bullet. Two of the officers, Stephen
Barry and Patrick O’Hara w f efe cut
on the head by stones thrown by riot
ers.
STRIKERS HELD UP A TRAIN.
They Drove Non-union Men Away
With Clubs.

strikers, and their sympathizers, stop
ped an incoming train carrying strike

drove the non-union men from the
train with clubs, threw, their baggage
into the Kaw river, and set fire to
the car.
The police put out the fire before
any damage had been done. No ar
rests were made.
The mob made a rush for the train
while it was running slowly over the
suburban belt line tracks towards the
Sehwarzehild & Sulzberg plants, the
destination of the strike breakers. As
the members of the mob clambered on
to the t/ain they subdued the trainmen
and set the brakes of the fifteen cars,
bringing them to a standstill. The
strike breakers fled in terror, some
of them being chased for blocks, but
all escaped injury.

Chandler, when nominated for Gov
ernor of Delaware by the “Regular"
Republican Convention to-day, created
a profound stir by taking the platform
and declaring that he accepted the
nomination under the sole condition
that he would enter the fisht to the
end and stay on the ticket until No
vember. “I would rather suffer hon
est defeat,” he declared, "than be pull
ed off the ticket, that somebody else
might ibe substituted.” .
This was received with deafening
cheers from the Dupont men, who had
won a victory over the Higgins firces
in nominating Chandler.
The "Regulars,” who composed to
day’s convention, are really outnum
bered by the Union, or Addicks, Re
publicans. and when In recent years
they have made out a ticket it has
always been with the understanding
that a truce would be patched up later,
and both Republican factions would
agree to trade and substitute the nom
inees, making one ticket to meet the
united Democrats.
It is not considered possible that
the Union Republicans will indorse the
nomination of Dr. Chandler for Gov
ernor.
