A DIPLOMAT BUSY
CHINESE MINISTER CONDUCTING
INVESTIGATION.
THINKS HIS BROTHER INSULTED
Immigration Inspectors Are Asked to
Explain the Ostention of Consul
After Facts Causing Clerk's Arrest
Consular Employe Who Killed Him
self May Cause Some Friction.
WASHINGTON. The Chinese min
ister is awaiting the return to Wash
ington of Secretary Hay, when he
will file an official protest against the
treatment accorded his brother, Lang
Hsun, consul general to the Philip
pines, and a party of women who ac
companied him by the immigration
inspector at San Francisco on their
arrival at that city recently.
Although the inspector was in
structed to facilitate their landing,
they were detained for some time,
finally being permitted to land after
the minister had made representa
tions to' the state department.
The immigration officials claim that
their action in the matter was en
tirely justified in view of the fact
that only two of the party had pass
ports which served as a means of
identification, as the law in such cases
requires. Further, they say there
were three members cf the party
whose names had not been previous
ly furnished as entitled to the cour
tesies of the port. These were Mrs.
Chang Choh Fan, wife of the Chinese
consul at Honolulu, her daughter and
a maid. The Chinese minister sub
sequently to giving advices concern
ig the intended arrival of his brother
and the two women at San Francisco,
asked the state department to facili
tate the landing of the others at
Honolulu. The immigration bureau of
ficials claim that inasmuch as other
Chinese arrived on the same steamer
it was necessary for the minister's
brother and his entire party to be
identified, and say that on this being
dene they immediately were shown
every courtesy and their landing facil
itated. The Chinese minister does not in
tend to drop the matter of the arrest
cf Tom Kim Yung, the Chinese con
sular clerk at San Francisco, which
Is said to have been the direct cause
cf the young man's suicide, until he
is fully satisfied that the whole af
fair has been probed to the bottom.
Should the investigation which the
.secretary of the Chinese legation
who was sent to San Francisco and
who will report in person to the min
'ister. is now making, confirm the in
formation already receive! here that
the arrest of Tcm Kim Yung by the
San Francisco policeman was unpro
voked, the minister will make a vigor
ous pretest to the state department
Relatives of Tom Kim Yung have
employed an attorney and he is as
sisting in the investigation.
SEVENTEEN YEARS IN PRISON
Defaulting Treasurer In the Philip
pines Given Severe Sentence.
MANILA. Dean Tompkins, the
defaulting treasurer at San Fernando,
convicted recently of forgery, has
been sentenced to seventeen years'
imprisonment. His trial on the other
charges filed against him has been
set for December 1.
A Filipino named Kalbaza. presi
dent of the nationalist party, was ar
rested upon a similar charge as that
which has just been preferred against
Dominador Gomez. He is accused of
being concerned with the latter in
fomenting the disturbances which
have lately taken place in the north
ern province of Luzon, where a guer
rilla warfare has been carried on for
some time past by the ladrones
against the authorities of the United
States.
Two prisoners named ' Rudd and
Black, escaped fugitives from United
States military prison on Malagi
island, in Laguna de Bay, Luzon,
have been killed by natives. In de
fense the later claim tnat the killing
took place during an attempt to cap
ture the fugitives to gain the reward
which was offered for their arrest and
return to the military authorities.

CATTLE DISEASE.
It fs Thoroughly Eradicated in New
England.
WASHINGTON. Secretary WIlsou
said on Tuesday that the receipt
through the state department of ma
official notice that Great Britain had
removed its embargo on cattle and
sheep from the New England porta
was the conclusion of the great work
in which the department had been
engaged in since December 1 for the
eradication of foot and mouth dis
ease from the New England states
and the restoration of the traffic to
the condition before this outbreak
occurred. The secretary regards this
as the most valuable piece of work
the department has done for Amer
ican agriculture.
"No country," he said, "before has
succeeded in stamping out such an
extensive outbreak of this disease in
so short a time. The, work was ac
complished under great difficulties.
The weather in New England last
December was very inclement and the
inspectors and their assistants were
obliged to work In the open country
with the thermometer four degrees
below zero. Some of the men had
their extremities frozen. Notwith
standing these obstacles, the work
went forward constantly and rapidly.
It is difficult even at this time to
understand how the pits were duj
in the frozen ground for burying the
carcasses, and how the disinfectants
were applied where everything of a
liquid nature became frozen in a
short time after it was exposed to
the atmosphere. But the work was
so thorough that in not a single case
where the disinfection was conduct
ed by the department's representa
tives, did the disease re-occur when
fresh cattle were introduced.
"During this work 3.9C0 cattle and
590 hogs and sheep were slaughter
ed and paid for, and over 200 prem
ises were disinfected. The total cost
of the work was less than $300,000.
Since the last diseased herd was
slaughtered all animals in the in
fected district have been carefully
examined three times 'without finding
any traces of the disease.
"Arrangements are now being mads
for forwarding cattle and sheep for
export through the ports of Boston
and Portland, and shipments will com
mence in a few days. The depart
ment has been working in conection
with the state department since the
first of July to secure favorable ac
tion from the British government and
is much gratified that the trade can
now be resumed."
Secretary Wilson gives much credit
to Dr. Salmon, chief of the bureau of
animal industry, and his assistants for
the effectiveness of the work done.
THREE DIE tU DEATH CHAIR.
Brothers Are Electrocuted for Murder
of Their Uncle.
DANNEMORA, N. Y. Without ona
unforeseen incident to mar the per
fect and dignified execution of the
death penalty imposed by the trial
court, sustained by the court of ap
peals, and not interfered with by Gov
ernor O'Dell, Willis, Frederick M. and
Burton Van Wormer were put to
death in fifteen and one-half minutes
at Clinton prison Thursday for tha
murder of their uncle, Peter A. Hal
lenbeck. at Greendale, on Christmas
eve. 1901. The motive for the mur
der was ill-feeling growing out of the
foreclosure of a mortgage on the Van
Wormer home by Hallenbeck.
The men walked from, the doors of
their cells in the care of their priest
and fianked on either side by prison
deputies, with calm demeanor but ex
treme pallor.
The entire proceeding from the
start of the first man from his cell to
the doctor's declaration of the death
of the last consumed but fifteen and
one-half minutes, and no untoward in
cident marred the execution of tho
law.

TWO TRAINS MET
DISASTROUS COLLISION ON THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
CONDUCTOR HARPER IS KILLED
Twenty or More Are Injured Dis
charged Soldiers Render Aid Many
Remarkable Escapes from Death
Told by the Passengers.
BEOWAWE. Nev. A disastrous
head-end collision occurred Thursday
night on the Salt Lake division of the
Southern Pacific at this station. The
' first section of train No. 6, the Atlan
tic express from San Francisco, col
lided with a freigfit train. One pas
senger was killed and twenty injured.
The dead:
AIIee-Harper, aged about 34 years,
Pocatello, Idaho a member of the Or
der of Railway Conductors and a
Knight Templar.
Relief trains were sent to the scene
of the wreck from Winnemucca and
Carlin, carrying doctors. Among the.
passengers on the train were a doctor
and a trained nurse and two discharg
ed soldiers. The latter had served
In the hospital corps. They rendered
great service to the injured before
the arrival of other medical assist
ance. The concussion was so great when
the trains collided that a passenger
coach telescoped the smoking car for
half its length. Three engines are
now locked together.
Mr. Harper was sitting in the rear
end of the smoker and wa3 pinned in
the wreckage, being horribly mangled.
Death was not instantaneous, but near
ly two hours were consumed in ex
tracting the body.
Many remarkable escapes from
death are told by passengers. The
second section of No. 219, the freight
train, came down the main line at
Beowawe to allow another freight to
pull out. Conductor Dorsey, in charge
of No. 219., saw what the engineer was
doing, and, as No. 6 was about due,
turned the air on the train, breaking
it in two. The head brakeman went
back to chain up, while the fireman
went to flag the first section of No. 6,
which was coming. It being on a
curve, the passenger engineer did not
see the flagman until the trains were
almost together and it was impossible
to prevent the crashing together of
the powerful engines. Both engine
crews jumped and both engines were
demolished.
The dead and injured were taken on
the second section of No. 6 to Ogden,
with the exception of Fireman Stone
and Grant Byle of San Francisco, who
were sent to that city.

Czar is Being Carefully Guarded.
VIENNA A dispatch from Muerz
steg. Syria, says the precantionary

traits and artists' material were de
stroyed. The loss will be total, as the
goods burned have no insurance.

WESTERN MEN MOT AFFECTED,
Packing House Employes East Not in
Same Organization.
DENVER, Colo. Replying to ru
mors that a strike was brewing; among
the packing house employes of the
we3t in sympathy with a possible
strike of Chicago packing house em
ployes, the representatives in Den
ver of the American labor union and
the Denver Butchers union gave out
a statement denying that the butch
ers west of the Missouri river con
template going on a strike. The
butchers west of the Missouri are af
filiated with the American labor
union, while the eastern butchers are
affiliated with the American Federa
tion of Labor. Western butchers
have no grievances.
Vatican at the Fair.
ROME. The negotiations for the
participation of tho Vatican in the
St. Louis exposition are proceeding
satisfactorily. It is considered pre
ferable that the Holy See shall send
as its representative an important
cardinal of the curia. The chief dif
ficulty is that the traditions and eti
quette of the Vatican are against
sending cardinals, except as dele
gates, to foreign countries and they
are never sent to expositions cr fairs.
The difficulty will probably be over
come by sending a cardinal to Amer
ica in connection with church affaire
and he will afterward proceed to St.
Louis, thus paying to the United
States the papacy's highest tribute.

BELIEVES GERMANY SEEKS WAR.
A Strong Undercurrent Against the
United States.
CHICAGO, 111. 'In plain English,
the attitude of the Germans toward
us, the United States, is, 'We like you
awfully, but we've got to fight you all
the same.' This does not mean trade
hammering with tariff regulations. It
means sooner or later shooting to
kill."
Prof. Albion W. Small, on arriving
at the University of Chicago Tuesday,
after a summer's tour through Europe,
uttered these words and gave as the
reason for this German intention ol
provoking war with the United States,
Germany's desire for trade expansion
in South America and the east.
" "The Germans are making extraor
dinary efforts to please the Americans
and if we want those efforts to con
tinue we haven't a minute to waste
till we have a navy a little stronger
than theirs," he said.
