Special Train for Stolypin Family. A special train was sent frcm here today to the Stolypin estate Kov- ppeared somewhat of Pre ring nep province to convey the premier's mily to Kiev Intense Hostility Against Him. The attempt te assassinate Premier Stolypin is the culmination of intense hostility directed against him for the establishment last march of the zemsve, or local governments in cer- tain provinces, and it is another chap- ter alfo in Russia's troublous course to maintain a constitutional form of government. Despotic Act of Stelypin. Tntll March last the law-making autherity was regarded as resting entirely with the newly orgenized du- ma. At that time, however, the up- per chamber of the duma rejected Premier Stolypins bill establishing the zewstvo in the six provinces of Minsk, ff. Vitebsk, Kiefr, Volhynia and i repection, Pre- mier Sto fared the bill ‘a law and ban Those members of the upper chamber who opposed it. The premier defended his cavrse in decree- ing the ‘aw despite the duma by a clause In the Russlan constitution pro- viding for executive action under “ex- traordinary - ircumstance: Would Disfranchice Peles and Jews. While an its face the zemstvo was urged as a heneficent measure of local telf-government, vet it was considered ia many quarters as an attempt to dis- chise the Poles and Jews living in § t&n Russia. This intensified the His | |feeling of those races against the | measure and against Premier Stolypin in person. It other quarters it was construed as a subtle measure to undo the constitution itself by making ex- ecutive action suverior to the huma. The hanished members of the upper chamber received the sympathy of such notable Russian figares as Prince 1 Troubetskoy, leager of the center, and of M. Witt Action Created Intense Feeling. Since M. Stolypin’s decisive action of last March, these two ourrents of intense opposition have been moving against him—one maintaining that he sought to undermine the constitution and restore autocratic power; the oth- r paintaining that the zemstvo bill was in fact aimed at curtailing, not completely destroying, the part pation of Poles and Jews in the polit- ical affairs of Russia. TRe mttempt at the life 6f the oremier is but the |latest phase of the intense feeling Igrowlng out of his action last March. United States Expresses Sorrow.

CHINESE REVOLT IS A FIGHT AGAINST PROGRESS. Reactionaries Desire to Keep the Country at a Standstill. Chicago. Sept. 15.—~William J. Cal- houn, United States minister to China, in an interview here today, discussed the present crisis in China and the reasons for the disturbanczs against the imperial Chinese government in the Sze-Chuen province, which are threatening Christian missionaries and threatening the peace of the empire. “Important changes and reforms, said Mr. Calhoun, “have been planned and are heing worked out by the Chi- nese government which, when com- pletsd, will awaken the dormant forces and resources of the great Chi- nese country. “The government is seeking to brinz about a closer relationship, greater solidarity and better intsrcourse be- tween the many millions of the various people of the vast empire, and it also is working out plans to adapt itself to the financial, commercial and business conditions of other ~-~t powers of the world with which sha has rela- tions, “The province of Sze-Chuen has a population of more than 70,000,000. 1t covers a large area of mountainous country of reported rich mineral wealth and of highly cultivated plains. Tts people are industrious. but with little or no identity with the rest of the empire at the present time. owing to difficultics in travel and communi- cation. The trouble there is being caused by reactionaries who ars seek- ing to check the pians of the govern- ment for development and progress and who desire to keep the coyntry at a standstill.” Mr. Calhoun left today for the cast. He will start for China by way of Europe and Siberia some time within the next two weeks. LION MANGLES CHILD AT SYRACUSE FAIR. One Eye Torn Out, Ear Torn Off and Face and Body Laceratsd. 1 Syracuse, N. Y. “Sept. and bitten by a huge lion in a show at the state fair this afterneon, Laura Burns, seven vears of age. of Morrisville, is hovering between _life and death tonight at a Syracuse hos- pital. The girl was frightfully man- gled and may not racover. Cages of lions were roped off with clothesline so that spectators were not supposed to get mnearer_ than four or five feet {rom the caze. 'Thea little girl climbed nnder the rope barrier. The lion reached out its paw and fastened its claws in her head. The animal drew tha child to the cage while he screams rang through the tent. With his other paw he clawed at the child's face and tried to draw her through the bars. Atfendants rushed to the child’s aid. but the animal had her fast in his srasp. When the littl> girl was freed it was found that the lion had torn out one of her eves, torn off an ear anad lacer- ated her face and the upper part of her body.

The Hague, Sept. 15.—At today’s ses- sion it was decided to hold the next international congress against alcohol- ism at Milan, Italy. Edwin C.

Viterbo, Italy, Sept. 15.—At the trial of the Camorrists today -Argenio, an engraver, identified the famous finger ring in evidence as having once be- longed to Cuocolo, for whose death the prisoners are held responsible.

Street fighting between troops and th strikers continued throughout tha d and the strikers blew up with dyna- mite the Amoralla railroad bridge. To add to the difficulties in the city, heavy storms bave caused floods in the lower regions and food is becoming scarce. London, Sept. ¥5.—A communication made public today by the national free church council explaining that the council is “not attacking generally the art of self defense,” but only a specific contest, is taken as confirmation of the suggestion that the intervention against the Johnson-Wells battle is largely due to opposition to a fight between a colored man and a whiie man, which may lead to racial bitter- ness. DR. WILE RESIGNATION WILL NOT BE CALLED FOR. President Taft Announced His De- cision in Case Yesterday. * Beverly, Mass., Sept. nation of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the United States bureau of chem- istry, will not be asked for by Presi- dent Taft despite the recommendation of the personnel board of the depart- ment of agriculture and endorsed by Attorney General Wickersham. This decision was announced herz today by President Taft. Washington, Sept. 15.—Few govern- ment departmental controversies have Wiley case. All officials hers received the president’s opinion with great in- terest, put the leading figures in the case today were away on vacation. Up in his Blue Ridge mountain retreat, a farm at Bluemont, where he spends his spare time supervising his crovs, Dr. Wiley read the full text of the president’s opinion upholding the chamisiry chief's course, but beyond saying it was a complete vindication for him, Dr. Wiley would make no comment. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, on his farm at Traer, la. made only comment, characterizing the president’s decision as wise. Solicitor McCabe of the department was in the west, and Attorney General Wicker- sham, who rendered the opinion rec- ommending Dr. Wiley's dismissal, was in New York Much speculation was caused by the president’s reference —to the possibie necessity of more drastic action after the house investigating committee made its"report next December on the Wiley case, forsshadowing an eventual shakeup in the personnel of the de- partment. The antagonism between the chem- istry bureau, of which Dr. Wiley is chief, and Selicifor McCabe's office is a crucial issue. During the congres- sional investigation last summer Sec- retary Wils®n declared Dr. Wiley had “talked through his hat,” character some of his acts as radical, said Wiley was oversensitivs regarding disagree- ments between Dr. Wiley and the pure food referee board, and declared that ‘he (Secretary Wilson) would prefer to Tesign than to go through another “bureau row.” eRfie fhat {he anta- onism between his bureau and the so- licitor's office apparently would pre- vent any well balanced hoard on purc food decisions from working without friction. He said he found it useless to appeal to Secretary Wilson, and that under existing circumstances he considered Dr. Dunlap, his associate chemist, as his superior officer, Dr. Dunlap and Solicitor McCabe o ruling him on_two-thirds of the pure food cases. The three constituted the puve food board. BANK ROBBERS GET AWAY WITH $315,000 Branch of Bank of Montreal at New Westminster Successfully Looted.
