CHINA SEEKS REDRESS
China Will also Demand Apology for
Insult to Flag, Aid for Destitute
Families of Victims, that Guilty be
Punished and Guarantees of Future
Protection.
A dispatch from Mexico City says
an indemnity of $6,000,000 will be
a* demanded of Mexico by the Chinese
Government for the slaughter of Chinese
subjects in Torreon. The de
mand will be backed up by a cruiser,
which Is already on Its way to Mexican
west coast ports.
Three Investigators returned from
Torreon and placed In the hands of
Shung Hal Sun, charge d'affairs of
the Chinese legation at Mexico City,
a detailed report of the carnage. This
report shows 3 03 Chinese were killed,
many of them in a most inhuman
j* manner, and that, besides a bank and
a club house, eighty-nine places of
business were sacked
In addition to the indemnity, an
j apology for insult to the Chinese flag
' will be demanded; also that aid be
extended to destitute families of the
vlotims, that the guilty be punished,
and that the constitutional guarantees
of protection to Chinese lives
and property be made egective.
Of th#> Ifi 000 000 indfimnitv. $1.
000,000 is for property damage and
the remainder for the loss of lives.
Commenting upon the matter ?Mr.
Sliung declared that the Chinese
v. ere killed in a savage manner.
"I am friendly, as is my nation, to
the 'Mexican people and to the revolutionary
cause," said he, "I will first
7>re.sent my case to the Mexican Government
for consideration, which if
f vorable, will settle the matter ami<}
>ly If it is not acceptable, the detailed
reports of the killings will be.

"The report made by investigators
goes back to the anti-foreign excitement
starting on September 16, Mexico's
centennial anniversary, when at
i\ public meeting at Torreon the kllling
of the Spaniards first and the
Chinese was advocated by a speaker.
It continued in part:
"On May 10,1911, it was known in
Torreon that the revolutionary forces
would attack the city. A meeting ol
1l 9 Chinese Merchants' and Laborers'
Society was held and it was agreed
that should the rebels enter the city
.all the Chinese would close their
p Pi aces of business and board up then
windows, that no resistance should
be made.
"On May 12 the rebels began sacking
the houses of the market gardeners,
rob.bing them of their money and
killing some of them.
"On May 14 the rebels began the
attack on the city. Early the following
morning the Federal forces evacuated
the city of Torreon. As soon
as this was discovered the mob rose
an-1 rushed about the town, shouting
"Death to Chinese'' and exciting
the disorderly masses to pillage
News of the evacuation reached the
rebel forces and they at once entered
the town without any opposition.
"i VIany of the rebels joined the mob
In racking the Chinese stores."
After describing the sacking of a
restaurant and store, the report continues:
"It was at thl s time that
three Chinamen were tied to horses
and dragged along the streets to the
plaza, where two of them were killed
and the third, who was a boy, was
saved by an American lady who put
Vher arms around him and defied the
mob.
"After this they proceeded to Yee
Hop Nan's general store, which they
looted and from which they dragged
r<Mr%/>HA ftiit in the streets
Lllll I t.UU vyiiim/u*/ w?v ... .?.
and killed them with machetes and
V knives. The Shang-hai Company and
the Wha Yka Bans, were in the same
building. Several families of Chinese
lived in the upper floors, and the
whole of them, twenty-five n number
were killed.
"The Chinese Clu was next attacked
and fifteen or sixteen men killed
there A large number of Chinese
stores throughout the city were sacked
an4 their owners killed.
"This stale of affairs continued until
a committee of the principle business
men, headed by the American
consul, waited on the rebel commander
and demanded that such outrages
,be stopped.
"In all that slaughter there was a
most extraordinary display of barbar^
ism and savagery. Some of the un,
-A happy Chinese were shot first and
stabbed atterwards; in other words
they were first stabbed and then shot;
others were cut up into small pieces,
others beheaded, others tied to horses
by their queques and dragged along
the streets, while others had their
arms or legs tied to different horses
and were in this manner torn asunder
Others were stripped naked Inside the
city and each was given to a marksman
for a target.

SAID TO FAVOR CHAMP CLARK
FOR PRESIDENT.
Speaker Assured by Nebraskan In
Letter that No Scars Remain from
Defeat in Wool Fight.

Clark boom for 'President was boosted
to-day by assurances from William
J. Bryan and William Randolph
Hearst of friendly hopes for success.
Mr. Clark .received a letter from
Mr. Bryan protesting that the Neraskan's
turndown on the wool schedule
had not led to hard feelings, that
anyhow Mr. Bryan was in a forgiving
and even generous mood, and that
Mr. Clark still was his ideal of a
leader (granting of course, that Mr.
Bryan was not In the running.) Mr.
Bryan, it is understood, did not commit
himself to advocacy of the nominotion
of Mr. Clark, but indk\ted
clearly that if Mr. Clark could iget
away with the nomination Mr. Bryan
not only would not put rocks on
the track, but would help heave off
those that might e chucked by others.
I !
The Speaker later was assured by
Col. John Temple Graves that Mr.
Hearst has a kindly feeling for him
and ms canaiaacy. uoi. uruves ?mu
to the World correspondent:
"Mr. Hearst and M.r. Clark served
in Congress together. Mr. Clark,
with that faculty for making friends
which has become famous, made a
friend of Mr. Hearst, and the friendship
has continhed.
"Mr. Hearst, naturally. Is not unmindful
of claims that he himself
has on the Democratic party Th?
ideas that he has put forth and has
consistently defended not only defended
but advanced?In the last fifteen
years have becoue the principle
of the new or progressive Demo- <
crocy.
"As Mr. Bryan has admitted frank- ,
ly several times, and as Mr. Hearsi
has said himself, the presidential bee
is a persistent tempter and hard to
f?et rid of. But I think I can say ,
that of the present avowed or tentative
candidates, Mr. Hearst feels j
most kindly toward Speaker Champ
Clark." i
The IMissouri delegation in Songress
learned of this development i
with great interest, but was compell- 1
ed to keep silence for the present.
The compelling force was the fact
that at the Democratic Missouri plat- ,
form convention last fall former Gov.
Joseph W. Folk was indorsed for
president That was done at the j
time, it was said, to eliminate Mr. ,
Folk from the senatorial race, which <
finally was.won by the present Sen- <
ator Reed. ,
The Missouri delegation therefore '
had to content Itself with silence, ]
supplemented only by the statement
that if Missouri desires Clark rather t
than Folk the Democrats of Missouri (
will And a way to express that next j
spring, when delegates are selected to t

(BROKE UP BEER PEST.
Used Strong Argument to Emphasize
Her Sentiments.
With the use of a rifle and her
_
strong arm, Mrs. Tillie McGowan, a
temperance advocate, 'broke up a picnic
at which beer was being served
near Atchison, Kansas, Friday night.
Mrs. McGowan was passing the picnic
grounds when one of the keg par- 1
ty knowing her temperance senti- j
ments, chidipe.ly invited her to have '
a drink. She accepted a cup of the
beer, intending to take it away to
use as evidence against the merrymakers.
. ' 1
One of the men said she would '
have tp drink the beer or give it up.
She answered by picking irp a stone
and striking the man over the eye
with it. The man grappled with her
and in the struggle his face was 1
scratched and his shirt torn.
Mrs. McGowan then secured a rifle
and chased one of the party into :
the Missouri river, firing a shot at 1
him but missing him. Finally she '
let the man swim ashore and apologize
His companions had fled.

TALES OF REAL HEROES
?
The Pilot's Mistake Ran the Ship on
the Rock, Knocking a Huge Hole
in Her Rot torn?Cattle and Hogs
on Her Raises an Awful Noise as
the Vessel Sinks.
The steamer David has brought to
Colon eighty passengers and members
of the crew rescued from the
sinking steamship Taboga. They tell
a narrative of the sea with storieb
of heroism and unusual experiences.
The Taboga was wrecked off the
coast of Los Santos while upon a re
turn trip from Pedregal to Panama
City. Twenty-three persons are
known to have lost their lives The
captain, an Englishman, name Campbell,
who was the last man to leave
the ship and live, and the pilot, Matthews,
are under arrest and incommunicado
in Panama City.
To a mistake by Matthews is
ascried the disaster. One of the owners
of the vessel Prospero Pinel ojected
to a change of course, and said
there seemed to 'be breakers ahead.
"It is only a school of sardines,'? was
the reply of Matthews, and laughingly
kept on his course.
When the vessel hit the reef a
great hole was torn in the bow. The
women and children?there were an
unusually large number of the latter
aboard?were crowded into the main
dining saloon. The ship began to
fill rapidly, and hundreds of cattle
and hogs aboard set up a wild clamor.
A herd of steers stampeded and
struck a lifeboat which was just beimg
lowered. Nearly every person in
the boat was drowned, and many, as
they fell, were crushed under the
animals. Two passengers, however,
found the cattle a godsend and rode
ashore on the hacks of bullocks.
Four passengers refused to leave
the ship, one of them, a brother of
the French charge d'affairs here, beng
picked up after floating for twelve
nours upon a spar to wnicn ne cuing
when the vessel gave its final lurch
The second engineer, OPerivanchi,
and a Cuban manufacturer, Greig-orie,
unable to swim, declared that they
would not crowd the already heavily
taxed lifeboats. When there was not
a woman or child left on the ship
and another human being could be
carried in lifeboats, they calmly lighted
cdgarettes and smoked until the
Taboga settled. The body of neither
has been found.
According to statements made,
there were but three life preservers
on the craft. The story of indignation
in Panama resulted In the arrest of
;he two officers mentioned immediately
after they reached Panama City.
Most of the victims were members
of prominent families in the interior.

J. J. Str.anahan, superintendent
of the Cold Springs Station of the
United States Department of Fisheries
at Bullochville, Oa., has perfected,
he says, though experiments
carried on for the past four years,
a practically lintless cotton plant
The purpose of his experiments in
this line is to secure a larger plant
hearing bolls filled with larger seed
which will he much richer in oil than
the regular plant. In the course
of ten years Mr. Stranahan expects
to produce a cotton plant that will

GOES TO HER REST
CARRIE NATION PASSES AWAY
IN A HOSPITAL.
Her Hatchet Campaign Against Barrooms
in Kansas Regarded Partly
Responsible for Prohibition.
Carrie Nation, the Kansas saloon
smasher died at Leavenworth, Kansas,
Friday night, Paresis was the
cause of death. For several months
Mrs. Nation had been in poor health
and on January 22 she entered the
local sanitarium in which she diea,
hoping there to recover from a nervous
breakdown.
IMrs. Carrie Nation was born in
Kentucky in 1846. Her maiden
name was Carrie Moor, and as a girl
it is said she was absolutely fearless.
In her early life she married a man
addicted to the use of intoxicants,
which created in her an intense aver
mull lw nit; ntuuuu. vv iicii in; iiitju
she determined to devote her life to
the suppression of the liquor traffic
Later she moved to Kansas and married
David Nation, who sympathized
with her temperance principles.
Mrs. Nation's first saloon smashing
was done jn the barroom of the
Carey hotel dn Wichita Decemer 2'i,
1900. She was arrested and remain
ed in jail several days before she was
released on bond.
On January 21, 1901, armed with
her favorite weapon, a hatchet, Mrs.
(Nation made another raid in Wichita.
This time she smashed two saloons.
During the next three months Mrs.
Nation surprised the saloon keepers
in various towns, appearing unheralded
and leaving a trail of ruined
bar room fixtures wherever she went.
Remarkably few saloon men useu
violence in resisting 'Mrs. Nation although
she was attacked and badly
hurt while wrecking a bar at Enterprise,
Kas. By this time the State
of Kansas was in a ferment. Aroused
by the spirit of the dauntless woman
from Kentucky, the people 'began to
demand that all saloons be closed.
Smashing parties were organized
all over the state. As a result of the
agitation, bills were passed by the
legislature which strengthened the
State prohibitory bill. Erratic as
her life has been Mrs. Nation was responsible
for the greatest temperance
awakening in Kansas.
Mrs. Nation after her activities in
Kansas, .became a lecturer and the

The House Has Helped the Course of
Democracy West
The splendid record made by the
Democrats of the House during the
special session came very near electing
a Democrat from the Ninth Iowa
district, according to Judge Martin
Wade, the Democratic leader in Iowa,
who was in Washington.
"In the special election held this
| week to choose a successor to former
Representative Walter I. Smith, the
| Democratic candidate, W. S. Cleveland,
was defeated by only 700
votes," continued Judge Wade. "The
district has been the Gibraltar of Re*
publican strength in Iowa, and has
igiven as high as 1 8,000 majority for
the Republican congressional nominee.
"Last year Mr. Smith carried the
district by nearly 6.000 majority. In
less than a year this majority has
practically been wiped out, and if we
had had ten days more in which to
push the campaign the Democratic
nominee would have won. The splendid
record of the Democratic house
had more to do with the remarkable
change in votes than any other one
thing. The Republicans were simply
helpless when we pointed to what
Majority Leader Underwood and the
Democrats in the house were doing,
and contrasted it with the record of
the Republican congresses in recent
j ears.
"The election of Foss in Massachusetts
and Havens 'n New York to
congress in special elections prior
to the last campaign pressncred a
Democratic congressional victory

Another youngi woman of Bangor,
Maine, came near losing her life by
fooling with a Chinaman. A confession
that he had shot Miss Christine

was made Sunday, the police say, by

shots, one of which took effect, had

At the hospital in Bangor to which
she was taken, it was stated that
she would recover.
Linn is alleged to have told the
sheriff in the presence of several
newspaper men that he shot Miss
Shaw because she caused him "mental
torture."
He said he had known Miss Shaw
who is a graduate of the University
of i.VIaine, and a teacher in the Orono
Hd{?h school, for four years, and two
years ago asked her to marry him.
She refused, but they had been on
friendly terms since that time.
Miss Shaw had done much to assist
Linn in his work at the university

said, that he had misinterpreted her

RECALLS A LONG DROUGHT.
, *
Which Was Broken by Prayers Being
Offered for Rain.
The Spartanburg Journal says
"sixty-six years ago there was a
long continued dry spell in this State,*.
There was moisture enough in the
land to bring up corn and mature
wheat. But from the 1st of May until
some time in the fall there was
not enough rain to muddy the small
streams. Creeks the size of Cliincapin
and even lait?er ceased to run.
Many farmers did not pretend to
gather corn, for they made none to
gather. That fall and even in the
late summer hundred of wagons
were driven to coves and rivers of

corn and brought back to this state.
At first, if we are uot mistaken, it
was bought for 3 7 cents a bushel.
Then it began to rise by degrees and
soon reached fifty and perhaps seventy-five
cents.
"There were two small churches
or meeting houses in Spartanburg
then, having been built in 1839. The
people of the village and county united
in a. call for a prayer meeting for
rain Quite a number came n from
the country They met in the Methdist
church and they were much
humbled by the long drought. They
prayed long and earnestly for rain.
"Those who came in from the
country did not get home before
clouds, much larger than a man's
hand, rolled up and a bountiful
shower came down. There was no
more lack of rain that fall. Seed
time came and the ground was in
fine condition for sowing wheat,
which made a good yield the following
spring. Those attending that
meeting certainly believed that their
prayers wefre answered and never
did people take a wetting more joyfully
than they that one."

ANOTHER MONSTER
|
tales about serpents that
swim the sal/t seas.
Steward of the Celtic Tells of the
Strange Thing He Saw Skipping
Over the l>eck.
The White Star Liner Celtic, from
Liverpool to New York, lately passed
the very latest sea serpents. This
fact, it should be stated, is not entered
in the log. It was confided to the
ultramarine reporters hy a steward,
who was perfectly willdng to furnish
a description. Robert Hillard, the
actor, was willing under duress
provide corroboration.
This sea serpent?witnesses differ
as to its length?was sighted holding
a whiskered, calflike head 10 feet
above water. Behind, where the ear
ought to have been, were two wings
extending outward about ten feet,
thus giving the saurian monster the
appearance of an aeroplane skimming
over the sea. The steward, in fact,
described it as a monoplane sea serpent.
Anyway, it was seen off the Celtic's
starboard bow in the early morning,
and the early rising steward,
who spotted it, instead of carrying
the news forward to the ridge, ran
to the rooms under his care and begged
those within to come on deck and
see it He says he caught Mr. HI1liard,
who does not deny it, but ,begs
that it be not printed, because he dislikes
notoriety.
The serpent, according to both, was
either pursuing a school of whales or
keeping company with the school 10
keep from being lonesome. This last
theory is the steward's who said
moreover, that it turned a pair of
larigie mournful green eyes upon thoso
on the vessel's deck in a way to
"touch your heart, sir.' Then it
passed on its monoplanic way, dipping
up and down, just like that, but
otherwise holding its head erect. Behind
it appeared at intervals a darkgreen
body moving through the water
with a wiggly motion.
The report of the steward, with its
accompanying corroboration by Mr.
Milliard, moved the veteran, Samuel
A. Wood, dean of the ultramarines,
to some enthusiasm. Sea serpent
stories, said Mr. Wood, are rare at
this port nowadays, but in the old
days the men on sailing vessels saw
many of them.
"Forty years ago," began Mr.
Wood, "I wrote many of those stories
but as steam has replaced sail and
romance departed from the seas, the
sea serpents have evidently moved
away from the steamship tracks
"It is now, I think, ten years ago
since the Great Tabasco serpent was
reported in the Bay of Campeche by
the truthful mate of a schooner. This
one was dark brown, and made a
noise like a Cratling gun. It is about
the same length of time ago since
the captain of steamship American
coming from Antwerp, reported one
fifty feet long! tht swam like an eel
It had green whiskers.
"A strange looking monster ten
fathoms long was reported by the
skipper of the .blue nose bark Howard
D. Copp. The most authentic
sea serpent sighting was made by the
French liner Lorraine about three
years aj?o. Her skipper gave the
latitude and longitude where the
monster was sighted and the pursuer
wrote a description of for the French
newspapers. This one was a drab color,
and appeared to be accompanied
by a water spout. As the vessel approached
the spout was seen to be a
mass of water thrown up by the serpent's
fore fins.
IMr. Wood recalled that this last
serpent was seen early in the morning
Searching his memory still
further he remarked that from his experience,
sea serpents had usually
made their appearance early in the
forming; in fact, usually the morning
after, in which respect they had
something in common with the pink
elephant.
