Natit Se Thode eee COLE YOUNGER TELLS OF MANAGER’S WOES. Former Bandit Says Show Life is Harder Work Than Eluding Posses. TRUE STORY OF WHITE DUEL. Daring the Next Month He Will Tour Missouri Towns Which He Once Awed as a Desperado. St. Louis Republic, Cole Younger, the Missouri bandit of the sixties and the early seventies, who visited The Republic office last night, thinks the duties of a show- man, who is compelled to be up at all hours, to contend with penurious managers and to keep peace among the members of his show, is harder work than fighting duels, robbing trains .or eluding hosts of Deputy Sheriffs and tirelees posses. Younger is, with Frank James, joint proprietor of a show entitled “the Cole Younger and Frank James Wild West Exhibition.” The show gavea performance in East St. Louis last night. Younger spent the day here, the guest of his cousin, Mrs. Carrie L. Hayes of No, 31537 Lawton avenue, It was his first visit to St, Louissince 1867, when he was here immediately after fighting the famous duel with Captain White in Louisiana, ST LOUIS MUCH CHANGED Younger talked with interest of the change in “complexion,” as he ex- pressed it, In 1867 he stayed ata downtown hotel, and remembers go ing to a house numbered 2505 west, which was then in the extreme sub- urbs. His explanation of the White duel to The Republic, last night, was the first authentic account of the affair that has been given to a newspaper. Jn speaking of it Younger said: ‘In 1864 Price’s army was camped in Arkansas. I: happened to be there, and one afternoon heard an insulting remark made about a wo- man, whose name I do not care to mention. I gave the author of the remark ‘the lie,’ and announced tha: I would defend the woman's honor. It was then explained to me that the story had been first told by a Cap- tain White. I went after this Cap tain White; but found that hewas no longer in the vicinity, and lefta fetter for him saying that if I ever saw him the insult should be aveng ed. “Three years after that, in 1867, I was at a horse race near Monroe, La., and after the end of the contest, which was an unfair one, declared myself in favor of the man who had been wronged. While the argument was going on, aman stepped from the crowd, and applying an epithet to me, r- marked that I was only blutfing and would dare do nothing as I had not twe or turee huudred men at mj hack in the battle at that place, and was| Missouri Guard Officer Mysteriously hunted for months in that part of/| the State, there being a reward for his capture, dead or alive. His many experiences and the long term in the Stillwater prison seem to have had no evil effects on his health, for he appears to be as strong and healthy as any man of his age. CHINESE REVOLT BODES DISASTER Port Arthar Newspaper Urges Russia and England to Come to an Understanding. Berlin, Aug. 22.—A news agency dispatch received here from Port Arthur saye: “From the different Provinces of China come reports of a rising which threatens to Involve the whole coun- try. Thesemi-official Novkkral says: “ “The moment has come when, iu view of the antagonism of German and British interests, an Anglo-Rus- sian rapprochement is desirable as a counterpoise to the movement in Germany and America, which is crossing the interests of Russia and Great Britain, and to the activity of Japan, which wishes to make the Straits of Korea a yellow Bosphorue, “*At present Russian and British interests nowhere clash. An Anglo- Russian alliance is possible, and it is also necessary {n order to protect Europe against the yellow danger.’ “The Novkkrai proceeds tostrong- ly attack the Russian papers, which urge Russia to wind up her affairs in Manchuria and which describe her policy in the far East as a costly blunder.” A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette from St. Petersburg, dated yester- day, says: “The situation in the far East is becomingacute. Evenin Manchuria, the Chinese are assuming an insolent attitude toward the Russians, parti- cularly toward the troops, At one place stones were thrown at thecon - mander of the troops. While all Russians are the objects of insult, a spirit of opposition to the Chinese Government is also munifested.” Grand Army Has Elected General Black Commander.

A prominent merchant of Joplin was recently asked by a curious ac- quaitance, ‘Why do you have your advertising in the News-Herald every da)?” The answer was, “Just to have}- people talk about it and notice it as you have done.” The next question vas, “Does it pay you?” Promptly the merchant replied, “It it did not I would quit {t.” That is the proposition pure and simple. A merchant will notcarry an expensive account that is useless to him. He must “make both ends meet” any expense which is not justified is very soon discontinued. The succes: - tul merchant of to-day advertises for | efrors, an the same reason that he opens his business house every morning to do business.

RT Turkey Begs That Russian Warships Be Withdrawn. Constantinople, Aug, 22.—Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish Foreign Minister, yesterday visited the Russian Ambas- sador and notified him that the Turkish Government accepted all the Russian demands and begged that the Russian equadron be withdrawn from Turkish waters. The news of the arrival of the Rus- sian squadron is spreading, notwith- standing the continued suppression of all telegrams and announcements on the subject. The general opinion of the Euro- peans here is that the time has ar- rived for a vigorous intervention and the abandonment of all semi-meas- ures, which are regarded as the cause of the present rising. According to the Turkish official reports the strongest positions of the insurgents are at Krushevo, Merihoro and Florina. Contrary to previous reports, it is now stated officially that Krushevo is still occupied by the insurgents. The headquarters of the revolu- tionists are in the Peristeri Moun- | tains in the vicinity of Monastir.
