BARKER WAS CONVICTED. Jury Took One Ballot and Found Him Guilty. NEW YORK, June 21. The jury before which Thomas G. Barker, of Arlington, N. J., was tried for shooting with Intent to kill Rev. John Keller, of the same town, took one ballot this afternoon, then returned a verdict of guilty. The Jurors were told that they must set 'aside all else and decide only If Barker, with intent to kill, fired at Keller. That was the law and they must obey It. Notice of appeal was given by Barker's counsel. Barker tonight found himself once more an In mate of the County JalL He must re main there until $10,000 bail is furnished. Before him stands a possible seven years' Imprisonment and a fine of as .much as $2000. Mr. Keller was absent and showed no emotion when told of the verdict. Barker had expected an acquittal He based his string hopes upon the plea of his counsel -when he dwelt upon the un written law that a man has a right to kill where the sanctity of his horne is as sailed. Whatever the effect of this line of pleading upon the jury, it was swept away by the cold charge of the court that the story of the alleged outrage, or the outrage itself, if true, was not Justi fication of the defendant's assault. The court explained that he had admitted evi dence that Barker had been told of an alleged assault, not because It had any thing to do with the case, but because it was for the jury to determine if the story had anything to do with making the de fendant criminally irresponsible. If they believed the defendant was sane at the time of the shooting, they must convict. In his closing speech, Prosecutor Irwin asked the Jury If the woman's course was the natural one. He said her story was Improbable, because Mrs. Barker would, in the natural course, have told her hus band of the assault at once, and falling that, would have made a confidant of a woman and not of another man. The jury's only ballot was unanimous for guilty and a unit for the highest degree charged. Body Found in a Well. MENA. Ark., June 21.

Burlington Opens a Nevr Bond in Montana and Wyoming, But With draws Surveyors Elsewhere. NEW YORK, June 21. The directorates of several of- the Vanderbllt railroads met at the Grand Central depot today. The most Important action taken at any of the meetrngs was the re-election of Wil liam H. Newman as president of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway Com pany, and thfe election of W. C. Brown, late general manager of the Chicago, Bur lington & Qulncy, as additional vice-president and general manager for both the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern and the Lake Erie & Western Railroads. It had been anticipated that In view of Mr. Newman's elevation to the presidency of the New York Central, a successor to him on the Lake Shore would be chosen and several names were suggested In con nection" with the succession. The, action finally taken Is regarded as an indication that the policy of the Vanderbllts In the future will be to have but one president for their entire system, with a vice-president In charge of each of the several properties composing It. E. D. Worcester was' re-elected vice president of the Lake Shore road. The directors of the latter also declared the usual semi-annual dividend of 3& per cent and made It payable July 29. The treas urer's statement for" the first half of 1901 showed gross earnings of $13,485,508, an Increase of 5.95 per cent, and net earn ings of $4,462,028, a decrease of 4.7 per cent, , The Lake Erie directors declared a divi dend of 2 per cent on the preferred stock, payable June 15. The gross earnings for the first half of the year were $2,153,732, and the net earnings $511,520. The election of Mr. Brown as a director, additional vice-president and general manager, fills the place In the board made vacant by the death of John W. Doane. The directorate of the Michigan Cen tral declared a dividend of 2 per cent on the preferred stock, and the board of the Canada Southern a. dividend of 1 per cent on the capital stock. A joint state ment of the two roads showed feross earnings for six months of 1901 of $8,700,000. JEW YORK JOBBERS COMPLAIN. Unable to Profit by Travel to the Buffalo Exposition. NEW YORK, June 21. The Journal of Commerce says: Some of the leading wholesale firms in this city who are Interested In Southern trade are receiving complaints from mer, chants at Southern ports that they can not secure as favorable rates to the Pan American Exposition via New York as are being offered over other routes. Most of the merchants desire to stop over here. If possible, to make purchases in this market, and firms here are naturally inter ested In the matter because it Is a ques tion of business with them. One of the largest jobbers In a certain line has re ceived the following from his represen tative: "A Southern correspondent, who, with others, contemplates coming North this Fall, writes me that all tickets, straight and excursion, which are offered at South ern points to the Buffalo Exposition, are sold only via Washington and via Phila delphia, not through New York in either direction." N George H. Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Central, said when this" matter .was, caned to Tils attention: "We cannot help It The natural route to Buffalo from Southern points say in Virginia and the Carollnas. Is Tla Wash ington'. It is a much more roundabout" trip via New York City. We certainly cannot change the topography of the country so as to make the distance via New York the same as over the direct line via Washington. We are now offering rates from New York to the Pan-American at Buffalo lower than ever before, and if merchants in the South or in other sec tions desire to come here they can reach New York by steamboat or otherwise and then avail themselves of the low rates to Buffalo from this city. As to the fact that most of these Southern parties are prospective buyers, I may say that we have had a great many protests from all sections Rochester, Utlca, Syracuse and other trade centers against the 'buyers' ' excursion. Jobbers of those places com plain bitterly against the diversion to New York of the trade that they naturally re gard as their own. "As to this Immediate proposition we have done all we could do by giving low rates from New York. We could not be expected to grant as low a fare on a longer trip as Is given on the shorter and direct route. Merchants In Cincinnati would not go to the Pan-American via New York City; the natural and direct route Is via Cleveland. No more could we be expected to take traffic of South ern ports from the direct route via Wash ington. Of course there Is no Intentional discrimination against New York. All I can say Is that conditions are such that we cannot do more than we have done In the matter of reduced rates." NEW PRESIDENT OF "WABASH. Joseph Ramsey, Jr., Succeeds the Venerable O. D. Ashley, Resigned. Joseph Ramsey, Jr., who yesterday suc ceeded President Ashley as chief execu tive of the Wabash Railroad system, has forged his way to the front In a com paratively few years, until now he occu pies a most prominent rank among West- em railroad officials. Mr. Ramsey was born In a suburb of Pittsburg, Pa., April 17, 1S50. He U a graduate of the West ern University. When 19 years old' he ac soclated himself with the engineering de partment of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago. & St. Louis. (Pan Handle) road. In 1873 he was appointed chief engineer of the Bell's Gap railroad, a wOnderf ul piece of engineering work, now a part" of the Pittsburg & Western. Later he was made chief" engineer of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, and subsequently became as sistant to President Ingalls of the Big Four. From this position he was pro moted In 1891 to general manager, and held that position until December 1, 1S95, when he was made general manager of the Wabash Railroad, and about the same time was elevated to the vice-presidency, from which position he Is now advanced. LARGER INTEREST IN PORTLAND. Union Pacific Has Most to Gain From Traffic Through This Port. T. M. Schumacher, general agent of the freight department of the Union P&clflc i 1 -Joseph Ramsey, Jr. system In San Francisco, was In Port'and yesterday on his way back home from n trip to New York. When asked his opin ion of the relative importance of Port land and San Francisco to the Union Pa cific, he said there could be no doubt' that Portland was away ahead of the Bay City. He made the distinction that wjille the Harriman syndicate might be more heavily Interested In San Francisco, the Union Pacific had and must continue to have an Identity of Ita own, and this separate Union Pacific interest has more to gain from Portland than from San Francisco. He thought Union Pacific pol icy would be to cohtlnue to promote Portland. MILLER IS NONCOMMITTAL. Will Not Say He Has Been Appoint ed Director of Traffic. ST. PAUL, June 21. Much Interest was attached to the return to St. Paul today of Vice-President Darius Miller, of thn Great Northern, who Is reported to have been selected as director of traffic for the Hill-Morgan group of railroads, compris ing the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Burlington. It was expected that, Inasmuch as Traffic Manager Stubbs, of the Southern Pacific, had confirmed his appointment as director of the Southern group, Mr. Miller would do the same con cerning his appointment, but such Is not the case. Mr. Miller says that up to the present time he has no Information' as to what really Is to be done. "I say author itatively that nothing has been decided as yet regarding the actual details of management of the Northern group." "Have you been selected?" "I have, of course, heard my name mentioned, but nowhere as often as In the press reports. I do not think this matter will be settled until after the re turn of Mr. Hill." "Do you think the Northern group will carry "out the harmony programme on ex actly the same lines as the Harriman group?" "Not necessarily." There Is no agree ment whatever to that effect. Merely be cause Mr. Harriman has selected a direc tor of traffic for the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and the other lines In the group, It does not fOllow that the North ern lines will do the same. Mr. Harri man seems to have settled the question for his group by appointing Mr. Stubbs. Mr. Hill and Mr. Morgan may settle the Northern group case In another way." Opening: of a Burlington Branch.

Names Suggested for Democratic Presidential Nomination. NEW YORK, June 21. A special to the Tribune from Washington says: Congressman John Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee, In an interview, favors the nomination of a Southern man for Presi dent in 1&04. He says: "My proposition for the nomination of a Southern man for President In 1904 Is taking like wildfire. Since I made It a week ago I have received stacks of let ters from all parts of the country com mending me. For more than 50 years this country was ruled by the South, and I am satisfied we can regain control If we go about It In the right way. The first step In this direction should be the nomination of a straight, old-fashioned Southern Democrat for President In 1904. The man who says that the South does not now possess an abundance of Presi dential material Is a fool. I can name a dozen men or more, any one of whom would make us a winning candidate." Then Mr. Gaines mentioned these names: Senator Morgan, of Alabama; Senator Cockrell, of Missouri; Senator Carmack and ex-Senator Turley, of Tennessee; Senators Culberson and Bailey, of Texas; Senator Bacon and Clark Howell, of Georgia; Associate Justice White, of Louisiana. "And," said Mr. Gaines, "you might add to this list the name of John Marshall Harlan, of Kentucky, who though ap pointed to the United States Supreme Court as a Republican, has enunciated fine old Democratic doctrine from the bench more than once. "The war Is over, and the South Is an In tegral part of the Union, and not an in sular possession or a Porto Rico; and be sides have not numerous ex-Confed-eratcs served on the bench of the Supreme Court and in other positions of the Fed eral judiciary by appointment of both Democratic and Republican Presidents? Also, have not several ex-Confederates served In the Cabinets of both Re publican and Democratic Presidents? Congress has been full of ex-Confederates for 20 years. Surely, If ex-Confederates can be trusted to make and In terpret laws, they can be trusted to exe cute them. Therefore, my voice from this time on shall be for a Southern man for President."

The cologne Volks Zeltung contains a special from a German missionary In Shan Tung, In which It Is asserted that the Boxer trouble Is by no means over; that the rebels are quietly enjoying their plunder from the missions; that the phllo-foreign edicts are only a blind, and that another and worse rising is expected soon. At the Foreign Office a gentleman on Chancellor von Bulow's authority told a representative of the Associated Press that this news was In no wise corrobor ated by official news from China. On the contrary, every bit of news from there for months has shown that nothing like general tfoUble is expected. This is espe cially true of Shan Tung, where every thing remains quiet ahd order Is main tained with the active aid of Yuan Shi Kal, the Governor. There Is absolutely nothing to substantiate this alarmist news. Regarding Prince Tuan, the latest offi cial reports Indicate that he Is not where he can communicate easily with the court, and he certainly now has no Influence on the court. Pay of Legation Guards. WASHINGTON, June 21. Pending the settlement of the Chinese Indemnity, an other question has arisen In reference to who shall pay for the maintenance of the legation guards after the several coun tries have withdrawn their main forces. The legation guards are to be stationed at Pekln for the protection of the several foreign establishments there, and their presence has been Insisted upon against the protest of China. It has been sup posed that each government would pay for Its own guard, but the point Is now made that these guards are maintained owing to the Inability of China to insure adequate protection, and that China, therefore, should bear the expense. Germany Increnscs Her Claim. BERLIN, June 21. It is officially ad mitted that Germany desires to Increase her claim of indemnity against China from 12,000.000 to 14,000,000, because the first figure does not include expenses borne by Germany in China from May to July. This demand about tallies with Germany's actual outlay during the two months in question. It Is understood here that Great Britain backs up Germany in this Increased claim. Rumored Massacre of Belgians. PEKIN, June 21. The Belgian Minister, M. Maurice Joostens, today dispatched a messenger to Slam Kal with Instructions to verify the report of the massacre there of four Belgian missionaries. The mis sion Is strongly fortified, but it is re ported that some of Tung Fuhs maraud ers surprised and killed the native con vert garrison in April. CAPTAIN MANNEY'S RISK. He Savr No Danger in Navigating Hell Gate With the Massachusetts. NEW YORK. June 21. The order of the Navy Department to the effect that hereafter no battle-ship shall pass through Hell Gate except under conditions of exceptional emergency and the success ful passage of this channel by the Massa chusetts has attracted unusual attention In marine and naval circles here. Just before starting Captain Manney, In com mand of the Massachusetts, said: "I do not know what all this hulla baloo Is about. I do not see where there Is any danger. They talk about no bat-tlc-shlp ever going through. The Maine went through. Of course, she. was not a battle-ship of the first class. I do not think there Is any danger. If I did I would not attempt the passage." No special pilot was taken by the Mas sachusetts. Captain Bell, the veteran navy-yard pilot, proffered his services, but Captain Manney said: "I have been In these waters a great many times before. I never took a pilot yet, and I do not see why I should now." Captain Bell also made little of the danger of taking the Massachusetts through Hell Gate. In his opinion. It was not specially hazardous, and required only careful work by the men at the steering apparatus. He said: "Why, there Is a vessel three times as big as the Massachusetts which goes through Hell Gate twice every day. That is the Prlscllla, of the Fall River line. She comes in In the morning and goes out in the afternoon." Rear-Admirai Barker, the Commandant at the navy-yard, denies that he has ever termed Captain Manney's venture "foolhardv." He did rv this Jinww "Considering , .the .risk ,pf; property, i would nnt tnkR n. visaI hf ior ).. through a narrow passage, especially when there Is no need for It. I went through there on the Philadelphia my self, but they made a great time about It because they thought I did not have a pilot. I did have a pilot, though. Of course. If the battle-ship gets through It Is all right; but if anything happens, the Captain would be responsible for It." SOONERS ARE DESTITUTE. Rufllnns on Oklahoma Border Have Already Picked Out Claims. KANSAS CITY, June 21. Thousands of people, camping on the border of the Kiowa-Comanche-Apache reservation In Oklahoma, awaiting the opening of that land to settlement, are in destitute cir cumstances, according to D. J. McKenna, Who has Just returned from the scene. "Only last Monday." said Dr. McKenna, "two friends and myself drove over to the border from Oklahoma City, and the sight that greeted us was one of terrible destitution. Twenty thousand men. wo men and children are massed on the bor der, and half of them are utterly desti tute. Only a small percentage have even tents to sleep In, but huddle under the wagons and such sheltering places as they can find. At least 5000 of them have been fhere a year and a half. They went with possibly $200 or $300, and have made noth ing since they arrived. Simply waiting waiting. The really pitiable thing about it all Is that there arc hundreds of des peradoes on the border, who have picked out claims and will not scruple to kill the successful ones In the drawing in case t'ney have a lottery. A reliable merchant told me a few days ago about a band of 100 such desperadoes who have scoured the reservation for choice claims and are determined to have them at any cost." AFTER THE LABOR VOTE. Chicago Strikes Used by Both Parties for Political Capital. WASHINGTON, June 21. The Industrial Commission has Issued the eighth volume of Its report of testimony. This , volume comprises 612 pages and deals exclusive ly with the labor disputes In Chicago In 1SO0. The commission makes no recom mendation, but prints a summary of the testimony, In the course of which It says: "It was claimed also by several of the witnesses, not only that policemen them selves were prejudiced In favor of the strikers, but that the higher city authori ties leaned the same way. They assert ed that the police had their Instructions not to Interfere except In case of abso lute necessity, and several specific In stances were cited to show that this was the case. It was claimed that this at titude of the authorities, which showed It self also In the actions of the Police Jus tices and other Inferior courts, was due to political Influence, especially to the desire of the party In power to cater to the large vote of the laboring classes at the coming election. These witnesses held that strikes In Chicago have been especial ly numerous just before elections, and that both parties have been disposed to make political capital out of labor troubles."
