BOISE, Idado. Governor Goodin
Issued the following statement with
respect to the Slouncnburg nssassinn
tion case :
,4I state officially that Harry
Orchard has made a full confession as
to tho manner and motive of the,
assassination of ex-Governor Steun
burg, tolling of the plans made and
giving tho names of those making
them. The assassination of ex-Gov-lernor
Steunenburg, which occurred at
his own gate on tho evening of
December .'50, 1005, . was the third,
attempt that Orchard made against
bis life. This confession was made
to James MePartlnnd. It included a
history of his life from early boyhood
tip to the timo of his arrest. In that
confession Orchard implicated all
those now under arrest, and others.
Including J. L. Simpkins. He told 1
the story of twenty-sir murders, tho
results of conspiracies in which all'
the accused parties wer; interested.)
When this story is given to the public
I believe it will be the greatest
narrative of crime which the world
knows.
"There has never been any doubt
ns to the truth of Orchard's
confession, among those who are
familiar witth the crimes committed
to Idaho and Colorado and charged to
the inner circle of the western
federation of miners. I have seen
Orchard myself since this confession
was made. He told me that no
promises of clemency or reward had
been hold out to him by Mcl'artland
or others. Mr. MePartlnnd was aided
in his work by Orcliard's early
training. Tho impression of tho
early days came up and smote his
conscience wjien ho was brought face
to face with his God. IIo told mo
that he believed in a supreme being
tfS(h hereafter nnd that now his one
thought was to make his peace with
his maker. The finding of the bomb
at Judge Goddard's gate and many
fcther things which will bo made
known at the trial proved the truth
fulness of Orchard's confession
bt'yond all question to those familiar
with his story.
"The state desires to secure justice.
There is no thought of punishing the
Innocent or waging war on any iabor
organization. Tho assassination of
ex-Governor tfteunenberg, grave crimo
against the state of Idaho was com
mitted nnd as its executive 1 feel it
my duty to bend every energy toward
tho discovery of the guilty parties'
and their fitting punishment. I
wis"h to announce that I have with
drawn the offer of $5,000 reward mado,
by the state for the punishment of
the guilty parties and havo advised
that the parties who had ollered
rewards do likewise. They havo
agreed' to do so and now there is not
a single dollar of reward offered for
the conviction of the murderers of
Htcunenburg.
"A reward of $1,000 is now offered
by us for information leading to the
irrcst of J. L. Simpkins and this is
the only reward offered in connection
tvith tho Steunenburg assassination.
"My reason for withdrawing tho
rewards and advising others who havo
Dffered rewards to withdraw them,
was that I felt that no dotectivo
association or anyono else is entitled
lo the reward offered by the state.
Harry Orchard was arrested before
any detectives were on tho ground,
no information secured by a com
mittee of citizens of Oaldwell,
assisted by a few of us who loft Hoiso
on the special train a few minutes
after the assassination of ex-Governor
Steunenburg. Wo wore all friends
ttid neighbors of the ox-governor and
y am sure tho services will always
bo remembered with gratitude.
"There is no question about a fair
trial. No higher class of citizens can
fbo found than thoso who live in
Oanyon county. They have no pre
judice against any clasB of peoplo, bo
jthey laborers or capitalists. I am
n firm believer in organized labor,
but I feel there must he more of an
effort made by the members of such
.other organizations to select more
high oharnctora as their loaders.

CINCINNATI. An early prising
in China was pmlte'd by Mrs.
Lillie Mollaud, for tho past seventeen
years a missionary in that country
hut at present home, timo on furlough.
In an interview she said.
" I look for an uprising in China
very soon. Last week I thought it
was in five or six days. All the con
ditions in China are warnings and as
sue who went through tho boxer
aprisings I know of what I speak.
"Tho reform party which 19
igninst the government and opposed
to foreigners Is secretly very active.
China is honeycombed with secret
locieties and the feeling against tho
foreigner is stronger now than just
before tho boxer trouble. When
uhina rises this timo, it is going to
bo a mighty upheavel. The Japanese
ivar has had a great effect on the
rjhinese. They see that the Japanese
ire recognized among tho nations of
she world, and they feel sensibly
lhat they are not respected as are tho
Japanese. Slowly this has been
talked about all over the empire by
tho reformers, and one of tho very
tpparent things is tho hatred of tho
intsidcrs.
" For tho missionary, as such, tho
Dhinaman has not any great degree
f hatred,, but the missionary is a
foreigner and must bo put down with
the rest of tho Chinaman reasons.
He hates the idea of aliens develop
ing his wealth. "
SUA KG II A I . Somewhat confused
.eports havo reached here of a
nassacre of missionaries at Nnn
Ihang, a provinco of Kiant;si. Ab
learly as can ho ascertained six
Missionaries were killed, and one
ih i id of an English missionary was
vounded.
It is alleged that after long con
tinued disputes between the Catholii
priests and tho Chinese magistrates
)f Nanchang, the priests invited tho
nagistratc to a banquet, where the.y
iried to compel him to sign an
igreement for tho payment of a largo
indemnity for the destruction of
Datholio missionary property. Ao
lording to one report the magistrate
beanie vindignant and committed
luicide, but the Chinese assert that a
priest attacked and killed him. Tho
biTicials, fearing to arrest the priest,
tailed a public meeting, whereupon
the Catholics, according to tho
Dhinosc vorsion of tho trouble, sot
fire to their own premises. Tho
public meeting of the Chineso
leveloped into a riot, in which,
iceording to one story, six of tho
Catholics were killed, through n-
later account says the number of
Oatholics killed was four. IT. C.
Kingman, a protestant missionary
i ml his wife, also wero killed and
9no of their two children was
rounded, the other being rescued.
Tho only protestant mission buildings
iestroyed wero thoso o? tho Ply
mouth brethren.
Fourteen Americans escnped in a
Ooat. Tne Nanchang city gates aro
now looked.
WAS II fNGTON. Consul General
Rod ire rs. at Shanghai. cabled the
ftato (lepartmenht that the American
mission stations at Nanchang, in tno
province of Kiangel havo been
destroyed. The probable cause is
local. Telegrams received from
those points state that tho fourteen
American missionaries at those.placei
escaped, but tho Kingman family,
English, two adults and two children,
lire reported to havo been killed.
The American gunboat 15 1 Cano, al
Nankin, has been ordered to proceed
Immediately to Kinkiang, whero shfl
probably will arrive soon. Tho seen
of the trouble is about 400 miles uj
the Yangtsee river.
A still later dispatch trom M.
Hodges, received at the state depart

missions are reported to bo safe.
A cablogam from Commandoi

Mlnori,
INDIANA POMS. In a statement
issued to the Associated press. Vim'
President T. L. Lewis, or the United
Mine Workers of America declares
that thero will be no strike of the
mine workers April 1, saying tho
operators will restore the reduction
accepted by the miners two years ago
and perhaps more.
Tho statement is as follows:
"You may accept one proposition
as a fixed fact that there will ho no
Reneral strike, in the mining industry
April 1. The operators will restore
tho reduction accepted by the miners
two years ago and perhaps more. 1
L. Robbins of Pennsylvania, and Mr.
Taylor of Illinois, loaders of tho
operators, recognize their untenable
position at Indianapolis nnd havo
pracefu'.ly submitted to the inevitablo
and will pay an advance to tho
miners. A general striko will bo
averted. Business will not bo
paralyzed by industrial strife. An
era of peace will be established for a
period of years and the trade agree
ment method of settling labor dis
putes will win new lriends to its
Uandard.
"The anthracite operators must
now grant an advance in view of tho
mtion of the bituminous operators.
Tho details will be worked out later
and probably through a special
national convention of the mine
workers.
"For two yenrs it has boon my
determined purposo to have wago
agreements of' tho miners terininato
on the same date fo that unity of
let ion might be secured without
riolating existing agreements on
April 1, MOO. The first move in this
direction was made in Pittsburg,
Kansas, in t'ho summer of 1 00-1, when
tho expiration date of the contract
rxteuded from the end of August to
the end of March, this year. Practi
:ally all our agreements expiro
March 31 next. By virtue of tho
lountry are now in a position to
compel tho operators to deal with us
Justly.
"At the recent joint convention in
Indianapolis, I advocated an advanco
or the miners because T believe they
are entitled to it.
"Tho iron and steel industry and
the railroads of tho country very
largo consumers of coal were never
more prosperous than now. From
admissions made by those engaged
In tho production of coal and depen
dent largely upon the abovo named
Industries, it must have been ap
parent that a few cents per ton
advance to the miners was not lost
In tho way of the continued prosper
ous condition of the iron, stool and
railroad interests.
"Tho operators at the recent
Indianapolis convention showed tho
itrongest evidence of tho weakness of
their position when they ignored our
arguments that they could pay an
advance to tho mine workers at tho
present selling price of coal and still
make a large profit. Dcvelopements
will prove additional facts, namely:
"First, that some of the large cor
porations represented at tli' recent
Indianapolis joint convention wero
not in a position to make a success
ful resistance of tho minors demands.
"Second, that the great coal con
suming public will not materially
Buffer by reason of tho advanco which
will bo granted to tho miners.

DUBUQUE, Ta. Former Speaker
David B. Hendorson of the national

Mercy hospital of pare.-is which
attacked him nino months ago. Ho

into unconsciousness and failed
rapidly until tho ond came. All of
his family except a son in California
wore at the bedside.
Colonel Henderson had been unable
to recognize anyone but his wifo sinco
a week ago, except ono day when hu
partly regained his mental faculties.
Colonel Henderson was stricken with
paresis last May and his condition

SAN' FRANCISCO. Harry Tenny
who was knocked out by Frankio Neil
the bantam champion pugilist died.
Death undoubtedly was tho result
of the beating lie received in tho
ring. From tho time he was carried
from his comer limp and all but
lifeless Tenny sank rapidly.
Physicians who remained at his
bedside realized his desperate con
ditions and gave warning that death
might bo el pouted if the lighter
could not be resuscitated within a
short time.
Sonus uneasiness was felt by pro
moters seconds and others connected
with the contest when the condition
of Tenny after the knockout was
noted, llo went down before Neil's
battery or ripping left banders dur
ing the fourteenth round about tho
center of tho ring. Tho timekeeper
3ounted him out but in the noise of
shouting Referee Kuche dill not hear
the competition of the count and
when Tenny staggered to his feet
allowed the fight lo proceed.
A howl of derision greeted tho
referee's ruling but it was soon j
ended for Neil- wont at his opponent
like a madman and hammered him in
his weakened condition against tho
ropes. Helpless and without
strength to strike a blow in return
Tenny dropped against tho ropes.
His head sank on his chest and his
arms dropped to his sides. In this
position poor Tenny was literally
beaten to tho Moor by Neil and
counted out by the referee.
IIo was carried to his dressing room
and was not revived until an hour
later. When he did come to he com
plained of paiiis in his body, which
lie ascribed to the terrific blows which
Neil had rained upon his stomach.
Later the defeated man was removed
to the bathhouse, where he grew
worse until death ended his mffer
ingi. Mark Shaugnessy attended Tenny
at the bath. Tho beaten pugilist
complained of terrible pains in his
stomach and head. At o'clock in
the morning ho roll asleep nnd tho
physician left, saying all danger was
over.
At 7:fl0 o'clock S'uiughnessy was
awakened by a cry from Tenny. The
body was doubled up in agony and a
hurry call was sent in for tho
cenjtrai emergency ambulance. Be
fore it arrived Tenny was dead.
After he was taken to tho baths Dr.
McGinnity was summoned. Tenny's
heart action was very weaK and the
pulse dropped to 40. Strong stimu
lents were administered and at 1
o'clock in the morning Dr. McGin
nity pronoune'ed him out of danger.
"How do you teel, Hurry?"
Shaughnessy asked.
" I'm awful si"k. My stomach and
fighter.
Shortly afterward he dropped
asleep. No physician was in at
tendance . from that timo until h
died.
The news of Tenny's death quicklj
spread over the city. Orders wero at
once given at police headquarters t
arrest all concerned. Neil soon sur
rendered himself, as also did Jyinei
ColTroth, Eddio Grnney, Willis Britt,
Morris Levy and Mark Shaughnessy,
All were charged with mnnslnughtej
and promptly mado arrangements foj
release on bail.
Tt is said that two days before
Tenny had an epileptic fit. nnd ar
autopsy will tie held to determini
tho eauso of his death.
After making the autopsy coroner'i
fiurgeon Cusack announced that
Tenny's death was due to cerebral
hemorhage, caused probably, by i
blow. It was also learned thai
strychnine nnd other drugs wen
given Tenny during the night, so the
stomach was removed and sent to tin
city chemist, who will analyze tin
contents.
The mother of tho dead boy, Mrs.
Isreal Tennebaum, this being his rea
name, asserts that ho was poisoned
A brother James Tennebaum, charge
that tho little lighter was "doped'
before he entered tho ring. Thi
serious charge is denied by Neil nnt
others connected with the tragedy
Mark Shaughnessy of his seconds say
that ho foil in a fit on leaving tv
ring.

SPRINGFIELD, O.-Attor a day ol
quiet from tho mob which held sway
for two nights tho ovening was ush
rred in with indications that morn
3eprcdations against the colored
population of tho city has been
planned. Anticipating that an attack
if mado, would bo mado in thu
vicinity of Section street Oolonol
Ammo! sent a squad
that locality. Just
arrival a crowd of
of soldiers to
boforo tholi
rioters snranw
from tho houso
against which
of Pearl Howard,
threats had been
made. Tho houso had been set on
llro but tho troops sent in an alarm
and the structuro was only slightly
damaged. Tho rioters escaped.
As a precautionary measure Colonel
Ammol has posted two machine guns
and a company of troopa at tho couri
house and jnil.
Tho distribution of the guns and
troops over tho city has had a
depressing effect on the rioters, and
with tho exception of small atTrays,
which did not amount to much bun
littlo of tho ordinnry had happened
op to U o'olook. A houso at High
and Raco streets, recuntly occupied
by negroes, was fired by rioters but
t io llames were quenched boforo they
and made groat headway.
Arthur Anoil a member of the
Konia military company, was hit on
thu head with a bricic said to havo
Deen thrown by a rioter and fatally
hurt. His assailant made an im
provised filling shot of n picco of
jrick wrapped in a handkerchief.
Two more companies of state troop
from Piqua aro held in readiness for
icrvico here, but tho present outlook
loes not indicate that more will bo
needed, as tho backbone of tho riot
icons to have been broken effectively.
When tho sun rose in tho morning
ibis city was at peace and aside
from tho presence of the militiamen,
there was no visible evidenco of the
lisorderly scenes of the night.
After playing a gamo of tag with
rarious bands of youthful rowdies
A'ho, for four or five hours at night
mused most of the disorder, tlu.i
I militia at an early hour settled down
to rest in apparently com pie to eon
' irol of tho situation. It was not,'
nowever until Colonol Charles'
I Ammol commanding the eight com-
panics of soldiers issued orders to
irrest whole parties of men who wero
found congregated at ono place, and
ivho, in some instances, refused nt
first to disperse, that tho disorder
was brought into cheek. The plan
adopted by tho ' militin was to
liirround a group of men and youths
md, if thoy did not immediately
iisperso place thorn under arrest and
:onduct thorn to headquarters.
Tho first result of this plan was tho
trrest of a gang of fourteen rowdies
py a squal of police commanded by
5ergeant Johnson. Within naif an
dour Major Marshall of the Fourth
regiment commanding a detachment
&f troops, rounded up another party
jfnino nnd took g them to head
juarters. From this time forward
the crowds on tho streets began to
lisappear, and tho disorder ceased:
In tho meantimo thero was intenso
excitement which was augmented
every littlo while during tho night
by the news of a freh outbreak
lomewhero. Wildly exaggerated re
ports of burning and shooting wero
;irculated during tho earlier houn
of tho night.
Threo houses occupied by colored
families wero burned and several
Dthers were stoned.
Two persons wero injured during
tho night, Sarah Thornton (colored)
lustained a broken leg by Jumping
from a window, nnd a fifteen yeai
old whito boy, Orla Willis, received
a load ol buckshot in his leg while a
crowd wns stoning a house in the real
