Ilct of Coroner's Jury in Tramp Homicide.1 Aiken, July L7.-The jury of inquest reconvened at the court house this af *oon at 3.30 o'clock and resumed taking of testimony upon the -g of Bud Madison McLeod, the ^Hfce tramp, who was shot by M. W. Hudgens near Eureka on Saturday last. Et. Hudgens came to Aiken this afternoon, accompanied bv his uncle I. F. Wharton. Mr.- Hudgens is a young man 25- yea.rs of age, bears an excellent reputation and conducts himself well. Sis evidence was given clearly and frank:". He regretted the tragedy ex? ceedingly, but seems convinced that acts were these of a man vrotect his life and his home. Ht; is a ve of Laurens, where his mother i family now live. He is a nephew of Col. Wharton of Water loo, wno is a member of the State railroad commission. His home situated ao?t 250 yards from his nearest neighbor, and on the evening the tramp came to his house Mrs. Hudgens was alone with her two little en, and this neighbor was away a home. His statement before the r's jury was practically the -?ame as was pubisbed, except that he not state what his wife told him ot -the actions of the tramp when he oame to the house. verdict of the jury of inquest was : "The deceased Bud Madison Mc? leod came to his death from gunshot : ads willfully inflicted by M. W. Hudgens.,' An effort was made to get : r Mr. Hudgens,. but ; Judge 'a being out of the city, this sras not possible and Mir. Hudegns was committed to jail. The body of the deceased McLeod ?was given a proper burial today by the county authorities. Coming Out For Parker. e Herald's striking editorial of this morning, in outspoken repudia? tion of Mr. Roosevelt, is another proof of th? dissatisfaction of the metropoli? tas press with the President. After three years' experence with him, the Herald, Sun, Ti^ee, Staats-Zeitung, World, Brooklyn Eagle and Evening Post have been compelled to oppose his reelection, though they all supported McKinley. It is unusual for the Herald to take up its positions so earl ly in the campaign. But there is nothing uncertain about its note this morning. Despite the mud-tbrowinjg of the republican organs, it finds that Judge Parker's telegram "has won the confidence of the people, and that sort of confideoace Mr. Roosevelt has not inspired." Acknowledging the latter to be irreproachable personally, the Herald declares that conservative people "doubt bis capacity for self oontrol, distrust his judgment and question his conception of Presiden? tial duties," which leads him to think himself "a sort of dictator." This change of feeling among the newspa? pers of this city shows very clearly that it is the Republican party upon which now rests the burden of proof that it is sufficiently sane and safe to be intrusted with the conduct of the Government-New York Evening Post. Reports on the Ants. Washington, July - 27.-Secretary Wilson today received the report of O. F. Cook, who reached Washington to? day from Texas, where he bas been conducting experiments with the Gua? temalan ant, the destroyer of the boll wee vi L Mr. Cook brought with bim several colonies of the ants, which will he kept here for experiment. His report details the habits of the ants, show? ing their ability to destroy the boll weevil and other insects. It remains to be determined whether they can withstand the winters of the southern climate, and whether they will propa? gate under existing conditions of soil and climate, but Mr. Cook believes there are no insurmountable difficul? ties along these lines. Bristol, Tenn., July 26.-In a freight wreck on the Southern rail? way at Patton's mill, four miles west of Jonesboro, Tenn., this morning, caused by the spreading of the rails, five person's were injured, two serious? ly, ten cars were wrecked and two engines belonging to the Central of Georgia railroad being transported from the Baldwin Locomotive Works were badly damaged.

Troubte Between England and Russia, and United States and Russia, Quiet at Present. Tokio, July 27.-In a daring night attack against a Russian force estimat? ed at five divisions with one hundred guns, Gen. Oku succeeded in driving the enemy from their strong line of defense south of Ta Tche Kiao. -Advancing on Sunday Gen. Oku found a superior force confronting him and that a heavy artillery fire from the enemy was checking his men. He thereupon decided to hold the positions he then held and to attempt a night surprise. This was successful, the Japanese troops hust? ling the Russians into retreat to Ta Tche Kiao. The Japanese had only 800 casualties. No estimates of the Russian losses are given. The Takushan artillery did not par? ticipate in this fight, it beiDg located to the east of Ta Tche Kiao. Moving to the northwest this Taku? shan force fought and won a separate action on Friday, July 22, at Panl ing, losing thirty-one men. Tne com? mander of the Takushan army charged that the Russians violated the Japa? nese flag, which they hoisted in an attepmt to deceive the Japanese, after which they fired a volley into the Japanese ranks. The Russians left fourteen dead at Panling. THE JAPS IN TA TCHE KIAO. St. Petresburg, July 27.-A tele? gram from Gen. Kuropatkin was re? ceived today confirming the occupa? tion of Ta Tche Kiao by the Japanese July 25, and adding that the Japanese division had moved on to Hai Cheng. A telegram from Gen. Kuropatkin, filed yesterday, refers to a suspension of the Japanese advance. A Japanese division was then holding Ta Tche Kiao with outposts several miles northward of the main body. Gen. Stektrifeerg-'s and ~Gen. ZaroubaieiPs corps were at Hai Cheng, but the rear guard of the Russian army was half way between Hai Cheng and Ta Tche Kiao. The Japanese, it was then be? lieved, were probably halting, as us? ual with them after each advance, to recuperate and intrench. Two Japa? nese divisions were nearing. Simou chen, which bears the same relation to Hai Cheng as Tang Chi does to Ta Tche Kiao. These forces were also stopping and throwing np earthworks eight miles east of Simouchen, which is \ strongly held by the Russians, uuisjgisbers from either side were within speaking distance. The Japanese continue to menace Liao Yang's communications by con? centrating troops at Sik Zyan, but no further advance had been made yesterday towards Liao Yang or Muk? den. The commander-in-chief reports that two Japanese battalions march? ing through the Khonago Valley to? wards Saran by way of Ta Pass, on July 25, were an bashed by Russian cavalry and the head of the Japanese column dispersed in disorder, losing fifty men. BATTLE OF AT CHE KIAO. St. Petersburg, July 27.-The re? port of Gen. Zaroubaieff, which was given out tonight, furnishes the first detailed account received here of the battle of July 24, and leading up to the evacuation of Ta Tche Kiao, the fruits of which are already apparent in the J?panes? occupation of New Ch wang. Gen. Zaroubaieff says that the at? tack followed a junction of the armies of Gens. Oku and Nodza, and that at least two divisions, greatly superior in number of guns, participated in the assault on the Russian position, which was held by only eighteen bat? talions over a front of nine miles. The determined nature of the as? sault and the defence is shown by the fact that there was a continuous fight of fifteen and or ? half hours, during which the Russians held all their po? sitions and retired the next day only in-face of the advance of the whole of the Japanese armies, consisting of over seven divisions. The Russian loss is estimated at 20 officers and 600 men, aud the Japanese losses, also estimated, as "greater than ours." Th is is probably correct, in V?PW of the fact that the Japanese occupied the attacking positions. Before the withdrawal of the Rus? sians, the report says, they captured considerable small arms and ammuni? tion during our successful bayonet charges, while the batteries, which were excellently served, several times silenced the Japanese artillery at va? rious points along the fighting line. BAD NEWS FOR THE RUSSIANS. London, July 28.-Cabling under date of July *J6. the New Ch wang cor? respondent of the Daily Mail says: "One hundred and fifty Japanese cavalry, who entered over niu'ht, bad orders to return to Ta Tche Kiao, Dut remained until morning at the urgent request of the British and American consuls. "The Japan?r-e have not pursued the fleeing enemy, as they desire to co-operate with the first army in a de? cisive hattie between il ai Cheng and Lian Yung, which, ev^n in the opinion of Russian officers, will result in a Rus>ian defeat and will terminate the campaign." THE MALACCA AT ALGIERS. 1 Algiers, July 27.-The Peninsular and Oriental steamship Company's steamer Malacca, which was seized in the Red Sea, July 16, by gtbe Russian volunteer fleet steamer St. Petersburg, has arrived here with a prize crew on board. At sunset the Russian flag was hauled down on the Malacca. The British flag will be rehoisted on the vessel tomorrow morning. FORMOSA AND HOLSATIA RE? LEASED. Sue;:, July 27.-The Peninsular and -Oriental Steamship Company's steam? er Formosa, which was captured in the Red Sea by the volunteer fleet steamar Smolensk, and which arrived here yesterday flying the Russian flag and with a prize crew on board, has been ieleased. The Hamburg-Ameri? can Line steamer Holsatia, which ar? rived aere this morning, also having on board a prize crew, has likewise been released. THREE DESTROYERS DESTROY? ED. Che Foo, July 27.-SP.

Tokio, July 29, 7 a. m.-The Amer? ica steamer Corea has arrived safe at Yokohoma barely escaping the Vla divostock squadron. London, July*29.-Special dispatches from ?Shanghai and Yokohoma report that a general attack upon Port Ar? thur has begun A report that Gen.

Tokio, Juiy 28-3 p. m.-'Bhe Rus? sians abandoned Ta Tche Kiao at noon on Monday, July 25, retiring hefore the advancing army under Gen. Ojku. They applied the torch to Ta TcbeJKiao and the surrounding towns, and when the Jc.panese arrived they found the flames, were still raging. The Japaense oursuit extended be? yond Ta Tche Kiao, and the Japanese left wing occupied Yin Kow. The positions held by the Russians last Sunday night south of Ta Tche Kiao ?.consisted of nine miles of trenches and fortifications. St. Peetrsburg, July 23.-6.30 p. m. -A telegram received from Gen. Kur opatk:.n today announced that the pos? ition nt the front had not changed. It is generally believed here that start? ling developments are imminent. All the war correspondents have been or? dered to Harbin.

London, July 28.-The tension in the Risso-British relations lias been re'axed and no rupture is now proba? ble. Count BenokendoprofJ the Rus? sian ambassador to Great Britain, inforned Lord Lansdown" *fcis morn? ing ttat if Russia bad committed a wrona, she was ready . nd willing to make full reparation, but hefore any action could be taken in the Knight Commander case, the Russian Govern? ment must have the opportunity of receiving the report of the commander of the Vladivostok squadron. Lord Lansdowne was noe disposed to undu? ly press the matter and promised to wait ii reasonable time. It developed today that the United States is depending on Great Britain to obtain compensation tor the loss of the Knight Commander's cargo It is the custom of ship owners to be re spons hie for cargoes, and therefore the American claim is to be made to j the owners of the Knight Command- j er, who of course ar? British, and who in turn will make a claim to the Bri? tish Government. THE SEIZURE OF THE ARABIA. Washington, July 28 -The State department has addressed itself to the Russian Government through. rSpencer Eddy, the American charge fat St. Petersburg, on the subject of fine seizure of the cargo of the Arabia by the Vladivostok squadron. The State department officials decline ab? solutely to make any public statement respecting the character of the repre? sentations made to the Russian Gov? ernment regarding the seizure. It is deemed highly desirable to take con? servative action and above all to avoid increasing the irritation aroused in shipping circles over the recent seiz? ure and sinking of vessels. Therefore, Mr. Eddy has been, it is understood, instructed to make some very moder? ate representation to the Russian Gov? ernment and these may be strengthened later on if the developments of addi? tional facts seem to make this expedi? ent. I ENGLAND DEMANDS APOLOGY FROM BOSSU. If the Fullest Reparation is not Made for Sinking Knight Com? mander She Will Resort to Force. London, July 27.-The British gov? ernment is sending instructions to Sir Charles Hardinge, the British ambassa? dor to Russia, today to energetically protest against the sinking of the British steamer Knight Commander by; the Russian Vladivostok squad? ron. Until the presentation of the note to the Russian government the greatest secrecy will be maintained re? garding its contents, but it is known that Premier Ballfour and his col-^ leagues have decided to demand that' the fullest reparation shall be made by Russia or measures will be taken to follow up the diplomatic demands. The British note, as Sir Charles Hardinge will submit it, will not mention the amount of indemnity Russia must pay the owners of the ship and British subjpcts having goods on board the vessel, but ali that will be sought will be the estab? lishment of the principle of indem? nity and apology. A salute of the British flag must also be conceded and the future protection of neutral shipping assured. The attitude of the British govern? ment is the result of the thorough con? sideration given to the reports receiv? ed from Sir Claude Macdonald, the British ambassador at Tokio, and the examination of international law au? thorities by legal experts. The dis? patches from Sir Claude Macdonald confirm the reports that the Knight Commander had no contraband of war on board for Japan. The government and all the British authorities, it is asserted, unit3 on the point that there was no justification for the sinking of the vessel. It is felt in government circles here that the Knight Com? mander incident overshadows the Red sea seizures, which practically have been adjusted, but which have failed to settle the question of the rights of neutral commerce. UNITED STATES REQUIRES ' SATISFACTION FROM RUSSIA. A Formal Protest has Been Filed Against Seizure of American Goods. Washington, Juily 27.-The state department has filed a report of formal protest against the action of the Rus? sian navy in seizing American goods and as the result of its preliminary stuy of the law and precedents govern? ing the subject it is prepared to act energetically and promptly. This pro? test relates to the seizure of an Amer? ican cargo on board the Hamburg American steamer Arabia, bound from Portland, Ore., for Hong Kong, China. Senator 'H. Mitchell cf Oregon telegraphed the state department a statement of the conditions" under which the Arabia carried out this cargo. Mr. Mitchell stated that he represented the Portland Milling com? pany, whin shipped on the Arabia for Hong Kong 99,000 sacks of flour, worth about $100,000. He declared that this flour was in no sense contraband for it was not destined for Japan, and it was part of the normal,trade of the company and was not a war order. Mr. Mitchell requested the state de? partment to take the necessary steps to secure indemnity and satisfaction for ; the owners of the flour and also to pro? tect legitimate neutral trade from such serious interference as these at? tacks by the Vladivostok squadron. The department officials positively decline to say what course they intend to pursue, save for a declaration that there will be no inconsiderate action, that the whole subject of interference with American trade by belligerents in the present war will be considered and that eacli protest that may be for? warded will he part of a uniform and consistent policy to be fellowed by the department. The case of the Knight Commander, a neutral ship laden with neutral goods and sunk bv the Vladivostok squadron which is regarded as a par? ticularly strong one against thc Rus? sian government, has not yet been made the subject of a formal protest. Undoubtedly, however, the dictum of j Hall, an English authority, which unqualifiedly bars the sinking of a neutral ship, will bo adopted here as it is m England as the only sound principle to follow in the Knight Com? mander case.

Only the Assassination of the Em? peror Could Have Created Greater Sensation, as he was, Next to Emperor, Most Important In Govern? ment. St. Petersburg, Joly 28.-M. yon Plehve, minister of the interior, was assassinated at 9.50 o'clock this morn? ing by a bomb thrown at his carriage while he was driving to the Baltic station to take a train for the palace at Peterhof, where he ' was to make his weekly report to the emperor. The assassination is believed to be the outcome of a widespread plot the existence of which has been suspected for several days. Numerous arrests have already been made, including that of the assassin, a young man who is believed to be a Finn named Leglo and who is now in a hospital severely and perhaps fatally injured by the ex? plosion of his own bomb. An accom? plice of Leglo, also apparently a Finn, but whose name is unknown, has been arrested. Ee had in his posses? sion a bomb which he tried to throw, but he was overpowered by the police just in time to prevent great loss of life. The assassin wore a brown overcoat and a railroad official's cap. He stood on the sidewalk just as Minister von Plehve's carriage was about to cross the canal bridge near the station. The minister was escorted by a number of detectives on bicycles and one of them .jostled the assassin who then rushed into the road and threw fche bomb after the carriage. The missie struck the hind wheel and exploded with fearful force, killing or wound? ing over a score of persons. Minister von Plehve and his coachman were killed outright and an officer of the guard was fatally injured. . One of the cyclist detectives arrest? ed the assassin who endeavored to escape, though wounded by splinters in the face, arm and abdomen. He I made no attempt at resistance, how? ever, when seized by the detective and confessed his crime but refused to give his name. The police immediately after the explosion arrested a suspicious indi? vidual who tock refuge in a hotel op? posite the scene of the tragedy. He carried a bomb similar to that thrown by Leglo. As soon as the police saw the bomb they scattered, but an em? ploye of the hotel rushed np behind the accomplice and pinned his arms. The wounded assassin was taken to the Alexander hospital so dazed as to be unable to speak. His condition was accounted for by the fact that he took poison immediately after throw? ing the bomb. The deceased minister's carriage was being followed by secret service men on bicycles, but by a miracle not one of them was injured. The explosive is believed to have j been composed of pyroxylin as it gave off little smoke. The force of the ex? plosion was so terriffic that it not only \ broke every window within a radius of half a mile, but reduced the heavy ? paving stones to powder, heaved up the pavement and flnng a heavy piece of thc iron work of the carriage across the canal, severing the thick mast of a barge, which fell, and stun? ning the captain of the barge. Every? body in the street was knocked down and more or less bruised. Capt. Tzvetskinsky of the geards, who was driving in a cab, sustained a fracture to the skull. It has been trepanned but the captain is not ex? pected to recover. Tho outrage is connected by thc police with an explosion at Kharkoff three days ago. It was supposed the bombs were manufactured there. The crime is believed to be the out? come of an international anarchist movement with which Gerschunin, the Russian revolutionary agitator, who was arrested at Kieff in June, 1903, was connected :. Gerschunin, it is asserted, was the organizer of the murder of M. Bogcliepoff, formerly Russian minis? ter of public instruction, and of M. Sipiaguine, who was minister of the interior before M. von Plehve. Von Plehve's assassination was offi? cially announced at about 1 o'clock and was followed immediately by the issuance of extra editions of the papers. Although they contained only a fwe lines referring to the tragedy, the newsboys were fairly mobbed by the people in the streets, so eager were all for the details of the crime. In? tense excitement reigned everywhere. Only the assassination cf the emperor could have created more of a sensa? tion, ns next to his majesty himself von Plehve was regarded as the most poowerful personality in the Russian go vernie nt.

STRIKERS ASD PACKERS STAND FIRM, Both Sides Claim the Advantage, But There is Practically no Change in the Situation. Chicago, July 28.-After issuing a geueral order that would have involv? ed all the Chicago railroads in the stock yards strike, Lawreace J. Curran, president of the Freight Hand? lers' union, tonight reconsidered his action and is now holding ?his order in abeyance pending a ccnferene tomor? row morning with leaders of the allied trades unions whose membes are ora strike. At the same time this step was be? ing taken by the frieght handlers' president, the first move in an effort to bring about another conference be twten the packers and the strikers was being made. Henry C. Wallace, the well known writer and lecturer cn agricultural topics, of Des Moines, Ia., and A. L. Ames of Buckingham, La, president of the Corn Belt Meat Producers' association, are the spon? sors of the new movement for peace. Mr. Donnelly and his associates were told by Mr. Wallace of the hard? ship the strike was imposing on the live stock raisers and they were asked if some concession besides those offer? ed at the last conference between the packers and the strike leaders could not be suggested. Mr. Donnelly said that the strikers were willing now to concede the time limit in which the men should be reinstated. Tonight both sides to the dispute at the stcok yards were claiming a vic? tory. According to the packers all the plants in Chicago are running at nearly their capacity. Cn the other hand the other leaders declare the packing industry in this city is .com? pletely demoralized and that business is almost at a standstill. That the statement of the labor leaders is not altogether true is evidenced by the fact that the packerstare slaughtering thousands of animals every 24 huors. There were several desertions in the ranks of the strikers today, but this loss was offset by an equal number of strike-breakers quitting their new positions. The packers today won an important incidental victory. Eight hundred live stock handlers threw aside their allegiance to the alliedftrades and this afternoon began to handle shipments indiscriminately both for the packers in the combine and for the independ? ent companies. Most of these 800 men went to work yesterday to handle the goods of the "independent" and they had worked on this basis. The change this afternoon on the part cf the handlers was regarded by the em? ployers as a sermons loss to the cause of the strikers. This afternoon. 133 men, all members of the union, de? serted the strikers and returned to work at Armour & Co.'s plant Every man was put to work at once. St. Petersburg, July 26.-Fire today destroyed the largest electric cable wire factory in St. Petersburg with the loss of about $16,250,000. A large quantity of cable and wires for the torpedoes and mines intended for the Baltic squadron was destroyed. Happy Results. Have Made Many Sumter Res . idents Enthusiastic.

For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re? peated attacks of indigestion inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus? ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the juices of natural digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach.
