Pekin, May 23.—Recently high Chinese officers here memorialized the court to return to Pekin. A re- has just been received in which the officers referred to are ordered not to make a request of this kind in until all the foreign treops have left Pekin. The reply adds that when the peace envoys notify the Emperor and Dow- ager Empress that the troops have , che court will immediately re- , but not before. _ This shows that there is a possibility of another deadlock in the future, as no satis- factory arrangements have been madefor guaranteeing security of lileand property here or in other districts when the transfer of au- thority takes place. In the districts where the transfer was attempted after the evacuation bythe French troops the disturb- ances increased at once. In one of these districts an armed band of} 5,000, which adopted another name | than “Boxers,” has arisen and is maseacreing many native converts and overpowering the Chinese troops. The central government is powerless, asit was a year ago, to suppress these disorders, and fanaticism and lawlessness are prevalent. ‘Count von Waldersee has not yet gent an expedition against these peo- | ple, but has sent out several small parties to suppress banditti. The British have also sent out small par- ties to other districts with the same object. All these troops will simply do police duty. Army Officers in Disgrace. Manila, May 22.—The correspond- ent of the associated press is inform- ed that the following approved sen- tences will soon be promulgated: Captain Frederick J. Barrows, thir- tieth volunteer infantry, late depot quartermaster of the department of southern Luzon, with embezzlement and selling gov- erment property, to be dishonorably discharged and to undergo five years’ imprisonment. ~ Lieutenant Frederick Boyer, thir- ty-ninth infantry, former depot com- missary at Calamaba, on Bay lake on similar charges, to be dishonora- | bly discharged and to undergo a year’s imprisonment. Both Barrows and will eventually be removed to Leaven- worth, Kansas Bid Good-Bye to Pekin. Boyer Pekin, May 23.—The last of the | American troops here with the excep- of the legation guard, left Pekin at 7 a.m. yesterday. The headquarters staff departed at 10 o'clock. Inspite of the early hour and-the long dis- tances they had to march, all the bands of the British troops escorted the ninth United States infantry from the temple of agriculture to the de- | pot where a Japanese band awaited the troops. All the British generals and their staffs and all the officers ~ on duty were present one of great enthusiasm. As the later train left a great crowd | was present to wish General Chafiee | farewell.

Pettis County Farmer Shoots Neighbor | Over Trifling Affair. Sedalia, Mo., May 21.—John Me- | Bride, aged 28, a prosperous Pettis | county farmer, was shot and instant- | ly killed this morning by John W. | Cookman, his nearest neighbor. The | killing took place on the McBride | farm, seven miles west of Sedalia. McBride had aroused Cookman’s en- mity by mocking his neighbor’s man- ner of yelling at his horses. While the men were plowing on ad- joining farms McBride gave one of Cookman’s peculiar yells. The latter picked up a Winchester, which he took to the field with him, and ask- ed McBride: “Are you ‘hollgring’ at me?” o,” answered McBride. *‘I | ‘hollering’ at my horses.” | Cookman pointed his gun toward | McBride, saying: “If you don't look | out, Il let her fly.”” was “Let her come,” was the answer, and the words had barely passed his lips when McBride fell dead with a bullet through his head. Coroner T. P. MecCluney and jury, after listening to the story told by Harley Templeton, a 15-year-old farm hand, returned a verdict that | McBride’s death caused by a | bullet fired by Cookman. After the killing Cookman fled into the woods, and Sheriff Joseph Dillard and posse have been unable to lecate him. was Young Lad Shot Himself. Everett, Wash., May 17.—John | Fay, employed by the Seattle Bridge Co., at LaConner, Wash., reprimand- \ed his 15-year-old son for some triv- j ial offense. This wounded the boy’s feelings so deeply that he stole out | of the room, secured a gun and shot himself in the head. Hearing the re- port, the father hastened to thescene /and seeing his son writhing in the agonies of death, he picked up the weapon and blew his own brains out. VIOLATED LAW. Insurance Companies Must Pay $1,000 | Each or Leave the State. Jefferson City, May 21.—At the re- | quest of attorney general Crow the | Missouri supreme court in bane this ‘afternoon ordered a judgment of $1,000 entered against each of six \foreign insurance companies as fol- | lows: American Fire Insurance Co., | of Baltimore. Broadway Insurance Co., of New York, Farragut Fire In- surance company of New York, Globe Fire Insurance company of New York, Manufacturers’ and Merchants’ In- surance company of Pittsburg and Merchants and Manufacturers’ Fire company of Baltimore.

Kansas City, May 22.—Robert M. | Rea, postmaster at Sugar Tree Mo., took a unique method of collecting a bill against one of his patrons and the act is likely to cost him consider- able more than the amount of the claim. The postmaster is charged with opening a letter addressed to the patron in question and removing a check for $3. He kept $1.50, the amount due him, and forwarded the balance to the man to whom the let- ter was addressed. will be given a hearing Friday before J.
