frequently during - the pan year and had caused much trouble in thin locality. Carey was thirty-five years of age. a son of Commissioner Lemuel Carey, and was well and favorably known. lie Wmm Frequently Arretted Hy the Poller fur Ills Adlon. The police here had no end of trouble with Johnson when he was preaching on the streets. He was arrested time after time for obstructing the streets and was several times fined In Police Court. There are now on the city clerk's dockets unpaid fines which were stayed. Johnson's - favorite place for holding his open air meetings was at the corner of Washington street and Kentucky avenue, where he would talk from a small pulpit on wheels. had quite a following among people who thought he was being persecuted by the police, who were charged In abusive circulars and from his wheeled pulpit with being rogues, thk?ves and the most wicked In the city. He also accused the mayor and city officials of dishonesty and use of their offices tor furtherance of crime. Johnson freely admitted In his talks that he had once been a gambler, and was guilty of shooting a man, but stated that he had reformed and was preaching the gospel as he understood It. He spared no one, and the ministers of the local churches were denounced., Ills followers, together with hlmsolf. were about the only ones he did not attack. He lived here off the money collected at the street meetings, having no other business. ' POSED AS A MARTYR. When arrested he posed as a martyr to the cause of Christ, and thus secured the sympathy of many who did not know him. The police were often censured for their acts, but they answered questioners by stating that they undoubtedly knew more about Johnson than most of those who believed in him. Last summer, after issuing a circular attacking nearly every class of people in the city and particularly the police, city officials and ministers, Josnson was refused permission to talk upon the streets, and for a few days a hall in the east end was u?ed. Then upon his promise that he would cease his attacks upon individuals and classes he was again permitted to hold his meetings upon the street corners. Failure to keep his promise led to his rearrest. A short time after this ne was about the city and county In the role of manager of a medicine show. Little was heard of him after that until he got Into trouble at Carmel. Johnson took his wife and four children to Carmel about Christmas and had since been preaching there. Recently he had been holding meetings In a tent and his manner of preaching aroused a bitter sentlmentr Last Saturday night the first trouble occurred at his tent. He demanded protection and deputy constables were sworn in to keep ordef during his services. There was no other outbreak until Thursday night, when he had the trouble. CAME TO THIS CITY. Yesterday morning he came to Indianapolis and met Albert Cross, & huckster, from Carmel, here on his weekly trip, who was one of his friends. Cross was one of the deputies who had been sworn In to keep order. Lae't night he said Johnson talked with him about the trouble and stated that any of his friends could arrest him, but a member of the "gang" never could. Cross says he showed him a small penknife and another knife of a dirk pattern, which, he said, were all the weapons he ever carried, but he was now better prepared for trouble. It Is stated by the men about Shover's livery stable, where many of the hucksters put up, that Johnson said he had a revolver and ammunition and this statement Cross corroborated. Cross said Johnson was determined in his manner and that he did not hesitate to say what would be done if trouble was renewed when he reached home. He left on the Monon about 4 o'clock, well prepared to carry out his threats. . Johnson first came to Indiana about ten years ago and preached in the vicinity of London, Brookneid and Moral, making his home at Moral. He was there about two years and then moved further south, near Boggstown, where he was arrested on a charge of stealing a horse, and sent to the penitentiary. It is also said that at Moral he treated his wife so cruelly and Incurred the displeasure - of . his neighbors by his preaching to such an extent that the sentimnt against him was responsible for his removal. After he rot out of the penitentiary he went to Covington. Ky. He came to Indianapolis about two years ago and began preaching in halls and on the street. His wife and family live at Carmel. The children range in age from four to ' ten years. His mother, Mrs. John Gibson, who recently left Kentucky, lives about a mile from London. Shelby county. FMB WEATHER TO-DAY.

Dr. Studt, the present German minister of education, has just instructed the statistical bureau to collect material regarding the disastrous efrects of alcoholism on the nation. The car strike at Hanover has caused numerous excesses. The police proved, unable to quell the riots, and military detachments were called upon to clear the streets. Many arrests were made. Crown' Prince Frederick William Is treated In his German Regiment precisely like an ordinary lieutenant. He has just marched on foot with his regiment the entire distance to Doeberltz, where the open air drills are held. M.

The expedition will have the active aid of the Sultan. Tewflk Pasha, the Ottoman minister of foreign affairs, has informed the Emperor that all needed aid will be rendered by the local authorities. BOXERS STRONG. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) government is really acting concurrently with the European governments respecting this Boxer agitation. Thus, at Taku, Admiral Kempff is acting in a similar manner to the commanding officers of the foreign navies there assembled, although his orders are subject to the approval of no one. At Tlen-Tsin, forty miles up the river, which the admiral expects to be attacked to-mor row, the foreign naval commands are acting together. It Is said that. In case of an emergency Involving Jeopardy to the lives of foreigners, the United States forces at Tien-Tsin might even be directed in their general movement by the senior naval officer ashore, even though that officer should happen to be a German, a Russian, a Frenchman or an Englishman. This tem porary subordination of authority mlfrht b brought about, and. In fact would exist solely through a military exigency. If Tien-Tsin Is to be attacked by a vast horde of Boxers It Is entirely conceivable, according to military practice, that a successful defense of the foreign lives and property in the city can be maintained only through the assumption of the com mand of the forelgu naval forces by one competent officer, as too many commanders may mean defeat. In view of this possibility the assumption of the command of the American forces ashore by Captiln McCalla may be significant. It Is an unusual course for a captain of a ship him self to take command of a landing partj as has been done by Captain McCalla. His rank would correspond with that of a colonel of marine?, and it may be that he would himself be the senior officer at TlenTsin. and thus be obliged to asstime com mand of the defense and direct, in a gen eral way, the operation of the European naval parties landed there. The naval officers here are confident that Tlen-TIn proper Is not In particular dan ger. The gunboat Helena will soon have the town under her guns, and there are believed to be three foreign warships In position to co-operate. WILL ACT WITH OTHER POWEn. Instruction (ilren the German Minister and Admiral Ilendemann. BERLIN, June 8. A German Foreign Office official made the following statement to a correspondent of the Associated Press: "The Foreign Office has had no official communication from China for two days. Of the two wires connecting with Peking one fcsj ttta dtstroydi It 1 ct tha utsoxf

importance to the powers to preserve the other.. It ought not to be difficult for the powers to keep open the railway to Peking. The Foreign Office does not know of any further plans by the powers to land mar rlnes. We have heard nothing to confirm the statement that the Empress dowager sides with the Boxers." From other sources it was ascertained the German gunboat litis has arrived at Tien-Tsin. and the large protected cruiser Hertha, bearing the commander of the far "Asiatic squadron. Rear Admiral Bendemann. has arrived at Che-Foo. It is officially announced that Admiral Bendemann has been instructed, jointy with the German minister In Peking. Baron Von Ketteler, to effect an understanding with the chiefs of the squadrons of the other powers regarding the further protection of the whites.

LOXDOX PRESS COMMENT. Sir Claude MncDonnld Crltlclaed-The . Spectator Vlrvrn. LONDON, June 9. The morning papers linger over the Chinese situation, publishing long editorial reviews and conjectures. Several journals complain that the British policy one of drift rather than of firm, clear-sighted action. The Dally Express contends that Sir Claude MacDonald Is charming personally, but lacks Initiative and strength of character sufficient for the difficult post of British minister at Peking. In Its news columns It tells how Sir Claude claimed a British diplomatic victory when the legation ladles, escorted by MacDonald, visited the dowager Empress, who afterwards, it is alleged, sent this telegram to all provinces: "As you are aware these foreign devils have been very troublesome lately. Their actions have been very offensive to me. Being a woman, I could not make the ministers come and explain, but to-daj- I sent and compelled their women to come and kow-tow." The Daily Express suggests that 20,0"i0 Indian troops be dispatched to China to restore order. The Daily Mail reasserts its position of yesterday that the United 8tates, as the friend of Russia and Great Britain would be able to impose order without alliances or jealousies. The Times in an editorial on the Chinese situation, says: "The United States government, already in the throes of a presidential election, seems rather inclined to sit on the fence as long as It can, and appears to be more anxious to define ls attitude In nicely balanced phrases, thm to act with vigor and promptitude. E t. whatever its hesitations may be. It can certainly have no desire to hamper the action of other powers less embarrassed by preoccupations at home, and it Is not likely to compromise its positions in the far East by holding aloof when decisive measures are taken." Advocating joint action by England and Russia, the Times says: "It is. in fact, to the effective and cordial co-operation of England and Russia that we must look for speedy relief from the present anxieties. It is evident that the other powers interested are quite prepared to take part in any common and concerted action, and, although some may be less eager than others, the spectacle of England and Russia agreeing to act together and resolved to act vigorously would do more than anything else to bring them all Into line." The Spectator, commenting on the Chinese difficulty, says it considers that if the situation becomes acute tne "only alternative-to a European concert, which will be effective only In theory, would be for England and Russia to act together in a definite agreement." The paper adds: "They alone possess physical power near enough to the scene to be of immediate use. England could In this case use her Indian troops." Continuing, the Spectator strongly opposes any partition of China, and thinks it unsafe to assume that the Chinese soldiers cannot fight. It adds: "The court of Peking is In action tne most Imbecile in the world, but it maj find a Wallenstein who will not steal his soldiers powder, and then Europe will have a new problem to solve." Sir Halllday MacArtney. English secretary of the Chinese legation in Ixmdon. says that the concerted action of the powers will save the situation In China-, adding that the end of the disturbance Is In sight and that soon all win be over. Call Them the Ufa; Knlvea. SAVANNAH. Ga., June 8.-Alfrrd F. King to-day received a letter from his brother, William D. King, a missionary in China, giving some account of the trouble with the Boxers. Missionary King la a member of the gospel mission movement. The letter received to-day was written April 19 at Tau-Au-Fee, 8han-Tung province, China, and says: "We have been passing through some very trying times here during the past eight months. Th Big Knife Society. or 'Boxers rose up to wipe out the Christians and drive out A Mr. Brooks. of the Church of England mission, was murdered by them only a little west of here. Our servants were all frightened and were leaving. Two thousand foreign drilled soldiers were posted here for our protection for several months. Things are quieter now, but there are still two hundred of them here and we are under Instructions not to travel without first getting a military guard. Rebellion In Southern China. VICTORIA, B. C, June 8. According to news from the Orient brought by the steamer Idsuma Maru, a rebellion has broken out in four southern provinces of China, Kwang-Tung. Kuang-Si, Kule-Chow and Hunan. The rebellion Is reported by the Shanghai papers to be under one leader, and an American is rumored to be one of the leading spirits. The Canton correspondent of the Shanghai paper says the rebels are busy smuggling arms, including large numbers of quick-firing guns. They are said to number 25.000 and more are dally Joining them. LI Hung Chang, the viceroy at Canton, is said to be alive to the danger and he Is Importing modern munitions of war to arm the Chinese troops. Five thousand Mausers have arrived at Canton out of a consignment of 15,000 ordered by him. Presbyterinn Safe. NEW YORK. June 8. The anxiety which has been felt in regard to the Presbyterian missionaries in the Peking district was partly allayed to-day by the receipt of a cablegram from Dr. John W. Henry, one of the board's oldest missionaries in China. The board cabled on Tuesday for information, and the reply, which came to-day, read: "Still danger." This is taken to indicate that no serious depredations have been made as yet by the Boxers. The Presbyterian board had fifty-eight missionaries in Shan-Tung province. The American board has also received a cablegram stating that all American missionaries are well, but that the government is demoralized, and advising that help be required from the State Department. Instruction to the French Admiral. PARIS. Jur.e 8. At a Cabinet council today, presided over by President Loubet. the minister of foreign affairs, M. Delcasse. communicated dispatches regarding the situation in China. The French minister at Peking, he said, was acting in unison with the other diplomats and Admiral CourreJolles, who was at Taku with his squadron, had been instructed to co-operate with the other admirals and take such measures for the protection of foreigners as the situation demands.

J I ST FROM IRK LAND. Six Little Children Make the Journey by Thenmclves. Kansas City Journal. U. S. IMMIGRATION BUREAU. Port of New York. OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER. THIS CHILD. Ellle Daley, and 3 sisters and 2 brothers IS GOING TO Catherine Daley. 224 W. lUh St.. Kansas City, Äfo. A little mother eleven and one-half yars of age timidly made her way from a Wa bash train yesterday afternoon, bearing this tag firmly tied to her dress. A sister clung to either hand. Around her. afraid for their lives to lose sight of her, were moving and dodging three others. The whole lot of them had come all the way from Ireland by themselves, the eleven-year-old having the sole responsibility. The long voynge and the railroad Journey had been made with the best of good fortune, and both terminated when half a minute later the little party of Immigrants got through the depot gates and caught sight of their real mother. It was a dead heat. The whole lot caught hold of the expectant woman at the same time, and there was the greatest mixup of mother and six bairns that ever the depot officials beheld. Nobody spoke, and then again everybody spoke. A roll call, according to the books of the Alton Railroad, which company booked the business, showed as follows: El lie Agnes, eleven and one-half years. Michael Patrick, ten and one-half years. Alice Bridget, nine years. Kathleen, four and one-half years. Edmond Joseph, three and one-half years. Elizabeth Anne, two and one-half years. Mrs. Daley, mother of this interesting family, is an uncommon women. She has a pious horror of publicity. Therefore, she planned that there should be no public demonstration when Ellle should bring the rest of the "childher" over. As soon as she was able to get away from the arms and six dust begrimed faces, which threatened to smother her on the spot, she hustled them to the toilet room and for half an hour kept them there. The change was great. Six little Irish lads and lassies had come into the depot half an hour before, the observed of oil. but nobody cast an eye at the six boys and girls who passed through the waiting room later and made their way to the street cars. Their thoughtful mother, knowing no doubt full well of the disaster to clothing of a steerage voyage and an overland trip with no towels, had a grocer's basket cached In which were shoes, stockings, a new cotton dress for every one of the girls and a cap for Paddy and little Joey. And Paddy needed that same cap. "By this and by that but there was not enough av a cap bechune the whull six av thlm to make a plaisther for the fut av a gnat, moind thot, .will yez. And the leg av thlm! Whirra, whirra, but the big gurrul had a pair of stockings and the rist av thlm had socks, and thlm same socks wuz made an inch thick by some old cratur at home." , So they all got their faces polished. The affable colored portress says "they were stripped to the buff and scrubbed with rosin soap till they shined." which is probably correct. If the little voyagers had not had a wash since they left Ireland they broke even when they got away from that yellow soap, for their rosy checks reflected the sunshlps and their noses glowed like small door knobs. The children look like any other children. Little Joseph Is just like most other little Irishmen. While his mother was counting her brood for the edification of the man at the wicket of the cable road at the depot, Joey got into a fight with Doorkeeper McNeill, beating him off with his chubby fist. He had grown since his mother saw him in Ireland a year and a half ago and the straw hat bought in anticipation of his arrival with only a wig lor covering stuck up on him like a doughnut of a fat man. In the melee the hat fell off. Ellle replaced it the mother ushered two of them through. Ellle got the rest of them in, and finally the party was loaded on the car. The devotion of Ellle to her younger brothers and sisters recalled that of the fond mother. It was a big job for a little -vornan, and barring the dust that made them like Cubans. Ellle brought her own little self and every chick and child safe through a trail of some 5.500 miles, which is something to be proud of. Matron Shull says the greatest voyagers she had ever 'had pass through her hand were two little children from Russia destined for a point In Colorado, "but It Is marvelous," ; she reflects, "the way this eleven-year-old child has brought these children across the water." Mrs. Daley's home is on Seventeenth and Virginia. The children's tag bore an old address. THE SAME SPIRIT. Incident Shtming IIott Slovrly the South Progrfiifi, New York Evening Sun. In his recollections of ante-bellum times Mr. E. L. Godkln tells of a journey which he made through the South to study society and the political signs of impending disunion. "One night In a respectable planter's house In Mississippi." he says, "some visitors from the neighborhood came itv for a chat. The talk turned upon the speak ing at a recent political meeting nearby, and particular mention was made of a very ferocious attack on some one by one of the orators. A young minister was among the visitors, and his remark was. on hearing the language in question: If any man talked that way about me, I should He in wait for him and kill him.' I should have been horrified by this, even If it had come from a layman, but by the rest of the company It was evidently considered a not unnatural obiter dictum, and passed without notice." William T. "Bellinger, a court stenographer, was killed on the streets of Bamberg, S. C, yesterday by the Rev. W. E. Johnson, a Baptist minister, who filled him with buckshot, Mr. Bellinger dying in a few seconds as he lay on the ground. The men had quarreled about repairs on the parsonage. High words passed, and Joseph Brown, a friend of the minister, was so troubled by the thought that the Rev. Mr. Johnson was living in the shadow of a tragedy that later in the day he armed himself and set out for the parsonage. His reflection seems to have been that the cloth deterred Mr. Johnson from using firearms in a personal altercation, and that u layroan should fight his battles for him. Mr. Brown need not have concerned himself about the minister's peril. As Brown approached the parsonage the Rev. Mr. Johnson appeared on his piazza with a shotgun. At the same time Mr. Bellinger issued from his house with a revolver and advanced on the minister. The stenographer fired first and missed. As he was pressing the trigger a second time the report of the minl?ter's leveled shotgun was heard, and Bellinger fell. Lying on the ground he fired twice at the minister, but the shots went wide. The Rev. Mr. Johnson gave himself up. Mr. E. L. Godkln visited the South in ISoR. Some people say we are In the twentieth century. Facta Are Jfeeded. Washington Post. It is not advisable to "pack the cranium of the child with useless facts." but there are useful, indispensable facts which must be learned by close study of textbooks. There are. for instance, twenty-six facts in the alphabet, and they are combinable Into many thousands of facts called words. And the latter class of facta constitute our lan;uee and literature.

BIG FOUR ROUTE . . . FAST TRAINS NO in the woods or fields can pack these facts Into a cranium. And the reason why so many children leave the schools without much knowledge of orthography, etymology, syntax, and prosody is that the .school management lays too little "stress upon mere book learning." The same criticism holds as regards arithmetic and geography, both of which are grand reservoirs of facts. Indispensable to a good common school education. RICH MR. KRIGCn. The Sabfttantfal Fortune Oom Pan! Will Retire On. . London Mail. Those who are in the habit of thinking ot Mr. Kruger as a mere farmer may be surprised to hear that he is a millionaire at least once. How many times over that nice round sum has accumulated In his savings it is impossible to say. To begin with, he has - the handsome salary as president of seven thousand a year, together with a coffee allowance, which is three hundred a year. Being of a frugal turn of mind. Mr. Kruger has for many years past lived on his coffee money, while out of his presidential salary and "perquisites" he Is believed to have succeeded in saving about thirty thousand a year. Over and above this Mr, ' Kruger has mans indirect sources of income. It has been shown that he has a very large interest in the Netherlands Railway, while he Is also directly concerned In the consumption of dynamite, as well as several other flourishing monopolies. Mr. Kruger owns over one hundred farms in different parts of the Transvaal. Some are productive, others are not. For Instance, in the Rustenburg district many of the best tobacco-growing farm are his, and the lessees pay him very handsome rents. His gold mining farms have also brought him in a goodly amount; a few he has sold to the hatfd ultlander capitalist, others he retains, or hopes to retain. Comtaratlvely recently a farm he had held for some years was floated Into a gold-mining company, and although his name does not appear in t;ie list of shareholders he received almost the whole of the purchase price in cash. It is said that many of the Transvaal President's safest investments have been made in Holland and Germany He is likewise reported to be a heavy holder of German consols and French rentes. Personally Mr. Kruger Is not a generous individual, despite his great wealth. At the time of the dreadful dynamite explosion. In Johannesberg a few years ago the Ultlander firms subscribed a magnificent total not far short of 80.000 to alleviate the distress of the families whose .bread-winners were killed. All the victims were either Boers, natives, or Chinamen: literally not one Englishman suffered. Mr. Kruger was asked for a subscription, and promised JC25. His name was put down on the subscription list for that sum. but, despite continual dunning on the part of the secretary, the subscription was never forthcoming. Ohio Valley Poet. Rising Sun Local.

Glasscock, of Cleveland, twenty miles east of Indianapolis, took the examination for service In Uncle Sam's army at the recruiting station at 10:30 yesterday morning and by 2 o'clock In the afternoon they had been sworn In as regular soldiers and dressed in military clothing from head to toe. Ssreral days ago Walter Glasscock, scarcely twenty years old, applied at the recruiting station for enlistment. lie said his father had driven him away from home, but he carried recommendations as to his' character from T. C. Collins, postmaster at Cleveland, and a census enumerator named Thomas. Notwithstanding thl. he was required to get his father's consent, and it came by roturn mail. Yesterday his older, brother, Gilbert, twenty-two ears old. came to the recruiting station, and said his father had driven his brother away, but he Intended to enlist and tay with him. He had walked all the way from Cleveland here. His devotion to his brother attracted the soldiers at the office and Major Noble was called In to see the recruits. Walter was dressed in a rough-looking coat, calico shirt and overalls. Ills shoes were broken. Gilbert was better clad and showed that he had been around some, while bis younger brother had never been out of the county. The general appearance did not strike the major, but he told them to proceed with the examination. The examinations passed were two of the best on record In the recruiting office. Major Noble's attitude had changed and he was enthusiastic over he two recruits. He lost no time In swearing them In and was in a hurry to have them don the blue to see what fine specimens he had captured. The bojs quiet demeanor als won over all the soldiers at the office. UNION CARPENTERS Will ot Work for One of the LeadIns: Contractors. The Carpenters' Union last night pawed resolutions declaring unfair the contractor who has been standing out against them and refusing to pay union wages. It fa aiovr v vtu mal UVJ JlldJl all UIllUIl will work for him and the same matter will be considered by the German union to-night. Then it will be taken to Central Labor Union Monday night and boycotts may be established on some of the men for whom he Is working unless he Is made to recede. Harry Travis, business agent of the carpenters, says this contractor has been on the unfair list for some time and at his own request his name was lifted from the list on the agreement that he would treat with the men and pay the union scale. The statement the contractor makes that he cannot employ union men, Mr. Travis says. Is because he will not ray union wages. He says while the contractor's name was off of the unfair list he secured a large number of the choicest Jobs In Indianapolis, on specified contracts, and then went back to employing nonunion men.
