LONDON, June 3.—Sir Alfred Hickman, | former president of the British Trade As- sociation, has replied to the response of Lord George Hamlilton, Secretary of State for India, to his recent attack in the House of Commons upon American-built locomotives and bridges. He quotes from | the report of the Burmah Railway Com- | pany for the first half of 1900 to show that | American locomotives used on burned $5.5 per cent more fuel per train for each mile and 23.5 more per vehicle for cach mile than British-built locomotives, and he declares that the alterations al- luded to by Lord George Hamilton were made in the tenders only, so as to enable the carrying of more fuel. After inquir- ing why certain reports have not been published, he says: *“The Burmah Rail- | way officials seem resolved to screen the Amecricans at all cost.” tion is founded on supefior chemical research and technical education, British markers should be full of orders from Americans to deliver immediately at any price, he remarks: “Surely that is some ev ice that the world outside the Indian railway officials considers British engines and material better and in reality cheap- er. The official locomotive engineer re- ports to the Burman Railway that the engines show early signs of wear and want of strength, and cheapness in the first cost is not true economy.” Sir Alfred then cites Egyptian railway reports against Belgian engines and | quotes from an Assam railway report, ted April 16, 1801, as saying that Ameri- an locomotives take 24 per cent more coal and 2 _per cent more ofl than Brit- | ¥ This, Sir Alfred avers, conclusively | proves bad workmanship. He affirms that the great advantages which continental | and American manufacturers have over | Briish manufacturers is due to what | practically amounts to export bounties, adding: “The American engineer has a protected market which enables him to make enor- mous profit at home and even to sell at a loss abroad, still getting a satisfactory return on_ his capital. I venture to assert with confidence that but for the 37 per cent duty we would sell more engines in than the Americans send here.” ing the Gokties viaduct in Bur- h r Alfred sa; “Lord George Hzmilton refuses to e Mr. Constable an opportunity to prove his statements | about the bad American work, on the as- surance of gentlemen who have proved | their partiality to the American Bridge Building Company by showing them in advance the private estimates for the prejected bridge over the Irrawaddy, and who, by every shift and contrivance, have | endeavored to stave off the publication of the reports of their own engineers.” Sir Alfred’s long arraignmert concluded with a request for the appointment of a committee to investigate the subject. TETH ® 5 ACTRESS IS SLAIN BY MAN WHO LOVED HER After a Desperate Quarrel Edward Forshay Shoots Miss Edna Stokes. CHICAGO, June 3.—Edward Forshay of Kansas City, an actor and assistant man- | ager of theatrical companies, to-night | shot ang killed Miss Edna Stokes, an ac- { tress, whose home is at Sedalia, Mo., and with whom he was deeply in love. For- shay claims to have met Miss Stokes in St. Louis six years ago, when they were both playirg an engagement. The couple | played in different cities of the country until last fall, when they came to Chi- | cago and became members of the stock company playing at the Victoria Thea- t e | Forshay originally intended to take his e after killing the woman, for upon person when he was arrested were letters bidding farewell to his mother in Kansas City, and another to Chief of { Police O'Neill of this city. | The couple had engaged in a desperate | quarrel three days ago, and Forshay is |said to have beaten the actress badly, | cutting her head in two places. Miss | Stokes gave orders to the proprietor of | the Vernon Hotel, at which she was stop- | ping, 3 ould not be admit- | ted to her pr ce. and although he | called there twice during the early part of the evening, he was compelled to leave by the attendant. Later he called, and the proprietor told him that he could | wait in the parlor. where Miss Stokes | would see him. She came down from her | room and the couple talked for about ten | minutes, when Forshay suddenly drew a | revolver and fired two shots, one passing | through the right lung and the other | close to the heart. She died almost in- stantly. After killing the woman, For- | shay ran from the building, but was pur- | sued and captured, IMMIGRANT INSPECTORS BOUND FOR PORTO RICO Will Assist in Keeping Out Chinese ‘Who Are Trying to Reach United States. WASHINGTON, June 3.—Assistant Sec- | retary Taylor of the Treasury Depart- | ment and Commissioner General Powder- 1y have decided to send three immigrant { Inspectors to Porto Rico for permanent |duty. It is feared that the recent de- | cision of the Supreme Court in the insular | cases may stimulate Chinese immigration to Porto Rico, with the idea that once there they cannot be denied admission to | the United States. The Collectors of Cus- toms_hitherto have acted as inspectors and will continue to do so, but the need for additional help in keeping the Chinese jout is apparent to the officials. From | now on the exclusion laws will be more rigidly enforced. a I can cure that pain, nd you need not pay me till I do.

For the sake of peace, prosperity and Iuflpl- ness of the people of this State, I am willing to hold on to my commission as United States Senator and continue to serve the State as I have done in the past to the best of my ability.

The “yellow peril” was more dis- tant than the American peril, but the Chinese had given a warning which ought not to be neglected. M. Delcasse replied in a reassuring man- ner yegarding China. He said the French troops would leave at the earliest possible moment. The powers only insisted on measures of justice, having the character of reparation for the past and guarantees for the future. Regarding the indemnity, France thought the immediate Bayment of a lump sum was preferable. China accepted the principle of an indemnity some months ago, and she now consents to pay the in- demnity demanded. It is said she will pay with her customs dutles. But com- mercial relations will not be injured, as it is intimated that China herself will pay t?e indemnity, which was only just, and also the expenses incurred by the powers. M. de Tournelles de Constant suggested that the powers agree not to accept ex- grbitant private claims, to which M. Del- casse replied that the principle of these claims had already been accepted.

OMAHA, Nebr., June 3.—For the first time in the history of the Iowa State University a medal for hravery has been | officially presented by the. facuity, the re- ciplent being Miss Carolyn Jarvis. The golden token was in recognition of her rescue of R. M. Fagan, a fellow-student. Miss Jarvis owns a small sailboat, and, ride on the Des Moines River. A sudden gust of wind capsized the frail craft and both the occupants were thrown into the current. The accident occurred just above the Coral Ville dam, where the water is thirty feet deep. The young woman is an expert in the water and assisted her helpless companion to a firm hold on the rail. With the skill of a longshoreman she unshipped the mast and, swimming sturdily in the rear, was able to propel the boat into shallow water. The girl reached the shore totally exhausted by her exertions. She Is a member of the basket ball team and various other athletic organiz- ations, and is very popular among her fellow-students. Fagan is a freshman and, while wéll known in literary circles, | is not very muscular. It was necessary to carry him from the water when the boat reached the shore. The rescue was the sensation of Iowa City, and thel medal was awarded in chapel after a meeting of the faculty. The token was urchased by admiring members of the class of 02, of which Miss Jarvis is a member.

COMMITTEE IS PAYING ITS OWN EXPENSES Congressman Woods Receives a Tele- | gram Which Finally Settles | That Point. Congressman Woods has received a tel- egram from Congressman Burton, chalir- man of the Rivers and Harbors Commit- tee, relative to the visit of the committee to the coast. Congressman Woods says that it has been wrongly stated in a press dispatch that the committee is com- ing at the cost of the Government. M. Burton's dispatch corrects that and says that the Government bears no part of the expense, but that the committeemen Individually pay their own expenses. Con- gressman Woods belleves that much good to_the coast will result from the visit. The committee will see all the locali- ties for which improvements are desired and will therefore be able to judge accu- rately of the needs of the State. Con- gressman Woods is very much interested, for. it was largely through his represen- tations that the committee was persuad- ed to come here. The Chamber of Com- merce has arranged to entertain the vis- itors and to take them about the harbor on a steamer. Says Helen Gould Is His Wife. NEW YORK, June 3.—James H.

Says Evangelical Lutheran Denomination Lacks in Godliness. DES MOINES, Ia., June 3.—Prof. E. J. Wolfe of Gettysburg, Pa., created a sen- sation in the Evangelical Lutheran Gen- eral Synod to-Gay by his report on the condition of the church, saying there was a woeful lack of spirituality and Godit- ness in the denemination, and that the fire of piety burned low. He sald: “Our church has suffered very serious- iy from defective government and as'long as loud voices are heard for individual- ism and unbridled liberty; so long as the general good must be subordinated to the rights of private judgment, our progress must halt and our institutions languish. The love of many for the church has grown cold. There is no disguising the prevalent laxity and barrenness; the low state of piety among us. The scramisle for dollars leaves little time for the care of souls.” Dr. A. H. Studebaker of Brooklyn de- nounced the report as the most disgrace- ful jeremiad he had ever heard, saying it did not in any manner réflect the spirit or belief of the synod and after a hot debate it was referred back to the com- mittee for.rewriting, leaving out the of- fensive parts. ‘The' discussion of the foreign mission subject with the plan to change the fleld of work from the African coast to the in- terior is set as special business for Tues- day afternoon. The main business of the synod deals with this question. Factions are being formed and divided on the ad- ministration of the post. One faction claims that there is favoritism and par- tiality in the foreign mission board in the post, and asserts that unless a change is had at once the church will be shaken to its véry foundations and that serious trouble is imminent. The election of Dr. Freas as President, however, shows the old administration has a majority of the synod and nq change may be made. The Board of Home Missions nominated is as follows: Rev.!M. W. Hamma, Washing- ton, D. C.; Rev. George H. Reen, Colum- Rev. George W. Enders, York, I. M. Zimmerman, Baltimore; Rev. H. P. Hocker, Steelton, Pa.; Rev. John C. Parker, Washington, D. C.; Rev. John D.

REFORMED PRESBYTERIANS WARN THE YOUNG PEOFPLE Two Officers of the National Body of Christian Endeavorers Are Sharply Criticized. PITTSBURG, Pa.,eJune 3.—The report of the committee on Sunday schools and young people’s socleties brought about a lively debate at the convention of the Reformed Presbyterians to-day and re- sulted in the appointment of Drs. McAl- lister and George to reconsider the report in connection with the committee. The report warns the young people against the corrupting influence of several lead- ers and unsafe-teachers. During the dis- cussion of the report Rev. T. A. Robb said the national body of Christian En- deavorers had for a secretary a man who voted for the acquittal of Dr. Chandler- Briggs and that another officer was will- ing to give up the ehurch rather than his Masconic order. Mcderator Werin has received a' tele- gram from the “association of Chicago labor unions.” asking the synod to pray for an eight-hour work day, so the labor- ing men would not have to hold meetings on Sundays to devise means to secure ft. Mr. Werin said he thought the telegram was meant for a joke. RAILWAY DIRECTORS ELECT SUCCESSOR TO CALLAWAY William H. Newman of the Lak2 Shore Road Chosen to Fill the Vacancy.

New- man has not_yet resigned the presidency of the Lake Shore, so he is now president of both roads. General Superintendent Edgar Van Etten was made second vice president. It was rumored to-day_ that_ the .eleva~ tion of Superintendent Van HEiten may bring about (m}:ortant chan)ges in the ex- ecutive force of the road. Mr. Vaa Btten, it was said, might go to Boston to take charge of the Boston and Albany road. Such a change would necessitate the se- lection of another general superintendent. The directors, it is reported, considered the matter to-day, but reached no defi- nite conclusion. ——— Launching of a Cup Defender. DETROIT.
