Barron, Wis., Aug. 9.—While crazed over religion Christ Hanson, a wealthy farmer living near Cameron, cut the throats of his wife and two daugh- ters, aged eighteen and sixteen re- spectively, and then hanged himself in his barn. The quadruple crime was discov- ered by other children of Hanson when they returned from a berrying expedition. Hanson had lived near Barron for a number of years, but recently he moved to a farm near Cameron, after selling his farm near this place for $8,000 less than he had been offered. At that time comment was caused and some of his friends began to en- tertain doubts of his sanity, but noth- ing was done. Recently Hanson is said to have spent most of his time in reading on religious topics and he gradually con- ceived the idea that it was his duty to end his life and those of the other members of his family.

WEARIES OF NEGOTIATIONS Tokio ‘Government Issues Instructions to Proceed With the Work, for Which Preparations Had Been Made Some Months Ago—Relations Be- tween the Two Countries Consid- ered Seriously Strained. Peking, Aug. 9.—In defiance of the protestations of China Japan has be- gun the construction of the Antung- Mukden railroad. Simultaneously at each end of the line the work was started by Japanese engineers and constructors, who for several months have been awaiting the outcome of the negotiations. The action was the result of instructions from Tokio. The feeling of Japan In this matter, which is due to China’s objection to changing the existing narrow gauge of the line to the standard gauge of the connecting lines in both Korea and Manchuria, was reflected here by a Japanese official of high standing, who said that China-Japanese rela- tlons at the present moment bore a dangerous resemblance to those of 1904. That a vital difference exists be- tween China and Japan is shown by the respective statements made to England by the Japanese government and Sir Julian Jordan, the English minister at Peking. The Japanese contend Japan is entitled to recon- struct the railway under the treaty of 1905 and attribute China’s attitude to the reactionary tendency of Prince Ching, the regent. Minister Jordan sends word that the Chinese govern- ment has informed him that the An- tung-Mukden road will be commer- clally useless to Japan and is being built purely for military purposes and to be used as a club to extort conces- sions from China. JAPAN'S ACTION JUSTIFIED Britons Say No Other Course Was Possible. London, Aug. 9.—The decision reached by Japan regarding the con- struction of the Antung-Mukden rail- road, in spite of the objections of China, is generally considered here to be justified. Before taking the step Japan consulted Great Britain and the other powers with whom Japan's re- lations are close. Great Britain, while regretting that her ally found it nec- essary to defy China, agreed that Ja- pan had no alternative. There has been no endeavor to deny that this line is mainly of military importance, but as one diplomat put it: “Japan would be more than human £ she did not avail herself of her treaty rights, especlally as these are one of the few solld compensations for the heavy sacrifices of her war with Russia.” The BSouth Manchurfan Rallroad company, which, on account of the large subsidies it receives from the government has been compelled to re- build its line, i8 not altogether pleased with this decision, as the undertaking involves the company in large expen- ditures and will divert a part of the company’s traffic from Dalny to Fu- san. Robbers Fire Missouri Town. Gayco, Mo., Aug. 9.—The town of Auxvasse, twelve miles south of here, was set on fire by robbers. At one time it appeared as though the entire town would.burn.
