The Convenient Death of the Em
peror Is Announced ,
IS OFFICIALLY MADE PUBLIC ,
Assassination Believed to Ilavo Been
Resorted To by the Dowager .Empress
How the Public Was Prepared A
minister's Banishment.
LOXDOX , Oct. 3. A dispatch from
Shanghai says telegrams furnished by
the Tao Tai , or local governor , to a
Chinese paper there , allege that the
emperor of China committed suicide
September 21 , after signing the de
crees which placed the dowager em
press at the head of affairs in China.
This , it is added , is understood to
mean that the emperor was assassin
ated.
All the English-speaking secretaries
and the principal members of the
Chinese foreign office , it is further an
nounced , have been seized and ban
ished.
At the tims the resignation of the
emperor Kuang Hsu was announced a
dispatch from Shanghai announced his
death. This report was denied from
Pekin , but as the emperor is rarely
seen except by a few immediate at
tendants , the matter has been in
doubt. It was announced in the decree
that in view of the complications of
the situation in the empire the dow
ager empress , the emperor's aunt , had ,
at his earnest request , assumed con
trol of the government. At the same
time guarded statements were given
out that the emperor was in poor
health and that he could not live long.
These , it was generally believed , were
to prepare the public for the news of
his sudden death.
Among the reforms advocated by
the emperor that led to his downfall
were his determination to allow a free
press and to introduce European dress.
He had ordered all newspapers brought
to him so that he might find as direct
ly as possible the condition of public
opinion. He had also appeared in
public in European costume. It was
suspected that he had designs against
the sacred queue.
Two or three days before the dow
ager empress came into power , it is
said the emperor informed Kang
Yuwei , one of his chief advisers , of the
plot , and urged him to escape , telling
him that he himself would be assassi
nated.
According to a dispatch to the Lon
don Times'from its Pekin correspond
ent , the imperial decree issued yester
day dismissing from office and banish
ing to Hi , Chinese Turkestan , Chang
.Yin Uouan , Li Hung Chang's oppo
nent in the foreign office , and former
minister at Washington , "acquits the
dismissed official of complicity with
Kang Yuwei , the Cantonese reformer ,
but convicts him vaguely as crafty
and treacherous. "
The true reason for his dismissal
and banishment , the Times' corre
spondent asserts , is that Chang Yin
Houan was a powerful supporter of
the emperor's party.
Kuang Hsu , the emperor , was born
twenty-seven years ago , and ascended
the throne in 18S7. His aunt , the
dowager empress , was regent until he
was proclaimed emperor. Since that
time she has been the power behind
the throne. The empress is G. > j'ears
old. She was sold as a slave by her
parents and was bought by a viceroy ,
who sent her to the emperor as a pres
ent. At that time she had the reputa
tion as the most beautiful woman in
the empire. The emperor fell in love
with her and made her queen of his
harem. Their son he proclaimed heir
to the throne.
As the emperor grew old he allowed
his young wife to control the affairs of
the empire. His ministers despised
her as only a woman , but when they
expressed their dislike they lost their
heads. It became unpopular to criti
cise. . After the emperor's death her
son came to the throne , but died in a
few years. For sixteen years she was
the real ruler of China.
The present emperor never succeeded
in escaping his aunts control. When
he selected his wives his aunt vetoed
his choice and made him marry an
ugly niece of her own. It is said she
feared the women of his choice would
deprive her of her influence.
The assumption of power by the
dowager empress is believed , in spite
of official Chinese denials , to mean the
restoration of the reactionary party to
the ascendancy and th.2 domination of
Russian instead of British influence.

MINERS HOUMJPAJRAiN ,
Pana , III. , Striker * Bcaort to Desperate
Methods Negroes Are Sent Home.
TOWEU HILT , , 111. , Oct. 3. Three
hundred striking union miners from
Pana held up a special Baltimore &
Ohio Southwestern train conveying
fifty-five Washington , Ind. , negro
miners to Pana to take the place of
union miners. The negroes were
taken from the cars and compelled to
walk back to Tower Hill , where they
were locked up in the depot until 10
o'clock last night. At that hour the
negroes were placed on board an eastbound -
bound train and taken back to Indi
ana , at the expense of the Miners'
union.
The holdup of the train was per
fectly executed and was a bold stroke
on the part of the union miners. En.-
gineer George Warshim 'of Pana was
in charge of the train , and on being
flagged brought the train to a stop.
The miners were armed and masked.
The engine was uncoupled from the
coaches and run a short distance , the
engineer being kept under guard of
guns. Masked men then entered the
front doors of the train , while their
associates surrounded the coaches.
The negroes were then marched out
back doors and walked down the track
to Tower Hill.
News of the capture of the blacks
having reached Sheriff Coburn at
Pana , he sent an armed posse of dep
uties , including negroes from Spring-
side camp , toward this town to inter
cept the miners on their return. Sher
iff Coburn's force had not arrived at a
late hour. In case they fail to appear
the miners will remain here over night
and take a roundabout way home. It
is believed that a battle will be pre
cipitated if the Coburn forces show up
in this vicinity. The sheriff of this
county refused to interfere with the
union men.
HUGE FOREST FIRE LOSS ,
The Flames Did Millions of Dollars
Damage In Wisconsin.
ST. PAUL , Minn. , Oct. 3. The forest
fires which have been burning in
various places throughout Western
Wisconsin for the past few days were
fanned into furious storms of flame "by
yesterday's winds , and did great dam
age through Chippewa , Barren , Dunn ,
St. Croix and Peak counties.
A very general destruction of tele
graph wires makes the reports very
incomplete , but it seems the villages
'of Clayton , Alemena and Poskin have
been wholly or partly destroyed ; that
Cumberland has suffered heavy losses ,
and that Glenwood , Barren , Prentice ,
Phillips and Turtle Lake were saved
only by great efforts. Reports of loss
of life are coming in , but have not
been verified , except in one instance.
A railroad bridge and trestle over
700 feet long , on the See line , west of
Barrbn , was burned last night , and
trains are running "by another route.
Fires have been cheeked in places by
rains , and the subsidence of the winds.
A rough estimate places the aggregate
loss at from 83,000,000 to 55,030,000.

W , W , Lowe , a Railroad Man , in
Custody at Kansas City ,
IS JESSE JAMES , JR. , IN IT ?
A Letter From the Famous Bandit's
Son and Another From John Kennedy
Fonnd on the Suspect police "Will
Not Divulge the Contents.
KANSAS CITV , Mo. , Oct 3. The po
lice have in custody William W. Lowe ,
a railroad switchman , who , they de
clare , is one of the , men who held up
and robbed the Missouri Pacific train
near Leeds the night of September 23.
The officers claim that between state
ments -made by Lowe and his wife
they have enough evidence to convict
him of the robbery and to warrant the
arrest of several other men.
Sensational developments will doubt
less follow the arrest of Lowe. The
police assert that he had letters in his
pocket from Jesse James , jr. , son of
the notorious bandit , and John Ken
nedy , the man who is believed to have
been implicated in half a dozen train
robberies around Kansas City.-
Lowe has been under the surveil
lance of the detectives sinca the time
Kennedy was arrested for the murder
of Miss Schumacher. He and young
James were almost constantfy at Ken
nedy's trial and are known to have
been on terms of friendship with him.
Young Jesse James has borne a good
reputation. Chief Hayes admits find
ing the letters from Jesse James , jr. ,
and John Kennedy in Lowe's posses
sion , but ho will not divulge their
contents. However , he acknowledges
that the letters will form very impor
tant evidence when the gang has all
been captured and brought to trial.
The police proceeded on the train
robber case on the theory that Ken
nedy's friends had planned and exe
cuted the job. Lowe was among the
number who testified for Kennedy at
his trial. He is a railroad man and
was reared in Cracker-Neck. So there
was no surprise among the police
when a woman who lives near the
Lowes in West Sixteenth street gave
information that Lowe had told his
wife that he had a hand in the last
Missouri Pacific robbery. Detectives
Harbaugh , Sanderson , Bryant and
Keshlear were at once sent to arrest
Lowe. He was taken to tha Savoy
hotel and "sweated. " Mrs. Lowe was
also examined by the police and she
gave sufficient evidence to warrant
holding her husband.
The officers tried to keep Lowe
under cover until they could forge a
solid chain of evidence about him , but
they decided this morning that it Avas
useless to keep the arrest a secret any
longer.
There are not fewer than twenty-
five detectives working on the train
robbery case now. This morning six
new detectives came in from St. Louis.
WELL EQUIPPED IN MANILA ,
The 10,000 SpanUh Troops Gave Up
35OOO New .Milusers.
ST. PAUL , Minn. , Oct. 3 Colonel
Samuel Sturgis , United States army ,
has arrived in St. Paul from Manila ,
which place he left in company with
General Babcock August 30. Colonel
Stui gis has been the assistant adju
tant general of the army corps at Ma
nila and the Department of Manila
under General Merritt.
Of the volunteer troops he says that
they endured constant hardships with
out a murmur or complaint of any
kind. Their patience and endurance
were remarkable and proved that they
were a high class of men. Speaking
of the land battle at Manila he said :
"Our first count of the Spanish made
out 1U,000 men of them , all well armed
and equipped , and all in good physical
condition. We were surprised at the
completeness of their equipment ,
which , as I noticed , was almost per
fect. The 25,000 Mausers surrendered
were new and in good condition. From
the condition of the Spaniards it was
apparent that they were by no means
starving , although food was scarce in
the city. Their ammunition was abun
dant and their service pieces were in
good order. Many of the Spaniards
had money and their entire force was
remarkably effective.
"The insurgents are rather decent
fellows , considering that all they
know of the world they have learned
from the Spaniards. They believe
that all other people are like the Span
iards , who have abused them , taxed
and retaxed them , kept them down
and oppressed them and have not al
lowed them to do anything for them
selves , They could not for a moment
comprehend our motives , our quiet
and orderly work of restoration. It
was not the Spanish method. They
are bright , anxious to learn and intel
ligent.
"Several of the leaders called on
General Merritt for a conference.
They were well mannered and intelli
gent , and when General Merritt ex
plained to them that he had not come
to interfere with their rights and ex
plained other features of the situation ,
they went away satisfied. The inter
view was entirely satisfactory.
"We had little sickness , and I think
our immunity was due mainly to the
fact the men did not sleep on the
ground , but on the beds of bamboo ,
raised above the ground. "

HOBSON'S CHOICE SPAIN'S ,
Senator Hanna Dlscussci Outlook 10
Peace Negotiations.
CLEVELAND , Ohio , Oct , 3. The Lead
er has from its Washington corre
spondent an interview with Senator
llanna concerning the Philippine ques
tion , which is believed to represent
the views of President McKinley.
"I do not know what the instruc
tions given to our peace commissioners
are , " said the senator , "but so far as
concerns the negotiations which wil
be instituted in Paris I can see no
other result than that Spain will have
to relinquish her sovereignty over ,
not only Luzon island , but the entire
Philippine archipelago. Spain has no
reason to expect to be able to- retain
any portion of the group. She wenl
into the war and lost , and now oughl
to be prepared to suffer all the consequences
quences which such a defeat implies.
"It is well understood that Spain
must abide by the verdict of our peace
commissioners , whatever that may
prove to be , for she is in no fit condi
tion to renew the conflict which has
resulted so disastrously to her. "
Regarding the reports which come
from Paris that one of Spain's propo
sitions to our commissioners will be
that the United States pay her 8400 ,
000,000 for the relinquishment of the
Philippines , Senator llanna said sig
nificantly :
"We are not paying money for or
buying territory which we now con
trol. "

Missouri Day at Omaha.
October 10 has been fixed as Missouri
day a the Trans-Mississippi exposi
tion. It is also the first day of the
Peace Jubilee week at Omaha , and.
with very low railroad rates , fixed on
the basis of one cent a mile from all
Missouri points , allowing a stopover of
several days , there will undoubtedly
be a large travel over the lines lead
ing to Omaha at that time. The round
trip rate from St. Louis is § 9.
The exposition management is pre
paring a special program for Missouri
day , which will include addresses of
welcome in the morning and a grand
display of fireworks at night. The live
stock shdw , one of the very finest that
has ever been presented in the coun
try , will be open at that time , and the
permanent features of the exposition
will be at their best. Nearly 1,000
Indian's , representing almost every
existing tribe in the country , are en
camped on the exposition grounds , and
they gave daily exhibitions of their na
tive dances and games which are of
great interest to the visitors. The
sham battles which take place two or
three times a week are a feature of the
Indian congress never to be forgotten
by those who are fortunate enough to
witness them.
The ascensions of the war balloons
which were at Santiago de Cuba , the
drill of the United States life savinpr
crew on the lagoon , and the -exhibit of
visual signaling by the United States
signal service corps take place daily
on the grounds. During October the
famous Innes band of New York City
will give two concerts daily on the
grand plaza , besides other musical
features.
Visitors to Omaha need have no fear
of finding comfortable lodging during
their stay in the city. It is advisable ,
however , to secure a room immedi
ately upon arrival. The Official In
formation Bureau , which is under con
tract to furnish information regarding-
rooms , board , baggage , etc. , entirely
without charge to visitors , has ac
commodations on its books for several ,
thousand persons in addition to the'
regular hotel accommodations. The
offices of the Information Bureau are
