Chicago;
Governor James' H. Peabody, of
Colorado, was alone in his - room at
the Auditorium Annex dressing for ,
the dinner of the Illinois Manufac
turers' Association last night, three
men entered unannounced. -Questioned
as to their identity and pur-,
pose, the spokesman of the "party,
who gave his name as Emil Arnold,
and bis business as editor of a Chi
cago labor paper, stated that they:
bore a Bet of resolutions passed by
the board of business agents of the
Building Trades Council, professing
to represent 35,000 men,, and that,
they intended to stay until the gov
ernor had perused them. The gov
ernor read the document which ac
cused him of being a menace to the
peace and prosperity of his state,
and eaid: s . ? - ' . ,
"We mourn the fact that we are
unable to duplicate, .with regard to
ybu.'your acts of deportation', and,
bting thus situated, we order that
the charter of the organization be
draped in mourning during your
etay in the city. We deplore the
fact that that a.man of jour caliber
could be accorded a seat .in a gath
ering of representative citizens of
the country who have come togeth
er for the purpose of nominating
one of their number for the highest
position to which any- one can as
pire the chief executive of a free
be nnisbrd reading, v v-
To this interrogation Arnold,
h m the governor persisted in ad
dressing as "Benedict," replied:
"We are bere to siy that we re
gret our inability to deport . you,
but we suggest that you leave this
city and state as quickly as poesi
ble, if you place any value on your
health."
Audreseiog the committee, the
governor said: - , ;
"I suppose, you would like to see
me driven from this - city, but I
want to say to you that I came here
last Sunday, and made arrange
ments to stay until Friday. I will
stay until then; when .1 expect to
take the Burlington train for Den
ver. Wete it not for .the fact that
the condition of affairs in. Colorado
requires my presence, I would re
main in this city" Indefinitely. I
shall file your resolution with the
collection of . scurrilous literature
lately received by me. ,
"Your resolution represents noth
ing but lies. I have never opposed
honest labor unions in Colorado
but there have been labor men, so
called, in my state, who were and
are dynamiters, anarchists and mur
derers. : If you-indorse such meth
ods as have been employed in Colo
rado, I shall be compelled to place
you in the same class. On mv re
turn to Colorado, if . occasion re'
quires, I shall continue to deport
these disturbers of the peace.
The governor did not tell his
friends of the incident until a short
time before his departure from Chi
cago tODight.
Denver, Colo., June 24. William
D. Haywood, secretary of the Wes-
ern X ederation of Miners, who has
been absent from his office for the

rest and that none will be.
The federation officials are en
deavoring today to arrange so that
such goods in their Cripple Creek
and Victor Union stores as were not
ruined by the marauders, may be
distributed to the wives and chil
dren of the miners who have been
deported. Secretary Havwood says:
"The most , important work be
fore us now is the relief system
We must see that the wives and
children of the deported miners are
properly cared for. We will make
an effort to send some one out into
the district to take charge of affurs.
"Another important work before

deported men now in Denver. ForH
tbis reason we are figuring on rent

Tangier, June 25. Ion Perdica-
ris and Cromwell Varley, who were
captured by the bandit Raisuli,
have iust arrived, f erdicaris was
greatly pleased with the reception
accorded bim by the townsmen,
who met him in great numbers
Perdicans suffered many hard
ships while in the hands of Raisuli,
although he said he did not think
that these were the fault of the
bandit chief, and that he bsd every
comfort under the circumstances.
Varley appeared to be as cheer
ful and bright as if he bad j ust re
turned from a picnic.
PerdicariB was received at his
town house by the authorities, the
admirals of Mb fleet, and numerous
personal friends. His Moorish ser
vants made a great demonstration
of joy, kissing their master's hands
and clothes. Much credit is due to
the two sheriffs of Wazan, Mulai
Ali and Mulai Hamel, who have
devoted much time in efforts to se
cure the success of the negotiations.
Mulai Ah was - in communication
with RaiBuli constantly, thus insur
ing the safetv of the captive, while
Muli Hamel traveled between Tan
gier and Benairos.
Nothing unusual occurred during
the exchage of the prisoners, who
started immediately for their homes
The delay in turning over the pris
oners was apparently merely amis
take as to tne date set tor tneir re

Tokio, June 24. Admiral Togo
re ports an engagement at Port Ar
thur last Thursdaj in which a bat
tle snip ot the reresviet- type was
sunk and a battleship of the Sevas
topol type and a first class cruiser
of the Diana type . were damaged
The Japanese nleet was practically
undamaged
The report is general here that
the Port Arthur fleet came out of
the harbor Thursday and engaged
the Japanese fleet
Chicago, June 24. A special to
the Daily news from Chef 00 says
Another demonstration took
place off Port Arthur yesterday
Firing, began from the forts about
10 a. m. and continued until 10 p m.
The programme was about the same
as on the previous day. '
The destroyers and torpedo boats
pursued the same tactics, "and an
auxiliary cruiser lay oft the iBlands
until the firiiig had ceased, when
it proceeded eastward at full, speed
- . . n nn ' j l . - .
, At o:cv p. in. me same evening;
firing began heavily from the bluff,
with much activity of the search
lights, indicating the approach of
torpedo boats. A little later the
sound of more distant firing was
beard,, evidently from the land side
of Port Arthur, continuing until
:30 this morning
Dunne that period there was an
almost uninterrupted thunder as of

It is probable that what took
place is a general shore action
with a naval demonstration. It
seems as though.-' the Japanese in
tend to wear out the defenders by
continued night ' activity, before
making a fioal simultaneous sea
and laud attack.
Rome, June 24. Advices receiv
ed by the government late last
night from Tokio state that trans
ports with 10,000 men and 48 field
guns have left Sasebo to reinforce
the combined armies of Generals
Kuroki and Oku on the Liao Tung
peninsula. Tne transports are stat
ed to be under convoy of a Japan
ese squadron.
... Tokio, June 25, Admiral Togo,
reporting further on his success at
Port Arthur, says his patrol boat
discovered the battle ship Peresviet
and seven other vessels, accom
panied by nine torpedo-boat de
stroyers, near the entrance to Port
Arthur harbor. Xhe patrol boat
warned him wirelessly, and he im
mediately advanced his entire fleet,
except those engaged upon special
duty.
The admiral then discovered that
the Russian fleet consisted of six
battle ships, five cruisers and 14
destroyers, the commander haviDg
evidently planned a dash by sun
down. The Russians stopped outside the
entrance to the harbor, and after
nightfall a fleet of Japanese torpedo-boat
destroyers resolutely at
tacked the Russian ships, and suc
ceeded in torpedoing and sinking a
battle ship of the Peresviet type,
and disabled the battleship Sevas
topol. A cruiser of the Diana type was
observed, burning. It was towed
into the harbor Friday morning,
and it was evident she had sustain
ed serious damage. The torpedo
destroyer Shirakumo was bit by a
ehell, which fell in the cabin, kill
ing three-men and wounding three
others. Tbe Cbidori, a vessel of
the same class, was hit behind the
engine room, but no casualties re
sulted there from, lorpedo boats
64 and 66 were Blightly damaged.

100 Chinese bandits, excellently
armed and equipped and led by
Japanese officers, attempted to blow
up with dynamite the bridge over
the Koulan river, three miles south
of Kerson and 157 miles northeas
of Makden. The ; attack was re
pelled by border scouts. According
to the inhabitants of the vicinity
there have been numerous previous
attempts to destroy this bridge. The
bandits are said to figbt. splendidly
and to bs entirely different from the
m-organized brigands of 1900.

her little Bisters from disgrace. Do
it, and no one wil know anything
about it. If you' don't, I will.
"I tried to reason with him and
finally be agreed not to do as he in
tended. While attending the moth

fering, referring to poisoning. ; She
