D Bailey, an express messenger r ft h e Wells-Fargo company, was killed by an unknown persorPon Santa Fe train No 116, between Florence and Newton early Sunday morning. The murder was very brutal, with robbery as the object. Both the le a l and the through safer were ransacked and at least $1 000 in money and some jewelry taken The amount the robbers secured is not known. The dead body of Messenger Bailey was found at 4 o’clock Sunday morning when the train reached Newton. It was stretched on the floor of the car the head beaten to a pulp and lying in a pool of blood. The Istck of the skull was crushed and the end of the ca where it was lying was spattered with blood. The plood spatterB reached to the ceiling. There was no evidence of any strug. gle, the indications pointing to the commission of the murder while the messenger was asleep, before he could offer resistance. Bailey was seen alive at Strong City. At Peabody someone opened the car door just enough to throw out a package of waybills and then closed it quickly. The custom of the messenger has been to go to sleep soon after leaving Flor ence and it is possible that he did this Sunday night. After being struck while sleeping, and rendered uneon scions, his body rolled to the Door, and the robber, after beating him on the head, covered it with the dead man coat. One blow was struck at the man’s face with some sharp instrument apparently a hatchet, which broke the jaw bone. From the dead man’s pock eta the keys were removed and the Bates ransacked. Then the keys were put back into Bailey’s overcoat, the coat folded and put in his grip, where it was found later. ORDER R A TE8 C U T . Stanford students want to remove C om m ission Finds O .

These pamphlets weighed over 4 }» tens, filling 105 mail sacks, such are used for paper mail. The postage was $760.

The amount of huUer fat was 460.09 pounds, equivalent of 544 47 pounds of butter. At 30 cents per pound the gross value was |163.84.

Her diet was alfalfa, with a very light ration of bran and rolled oats during the anmmw, and 15 pounds of vetch and oats hay, 30 pounds of kale and eight pounds of bran and rolled barley during winter. The animal is 6 years old, and came from the farm of Mrs, Honeyman, of Portland. A 6-year old Holstein from the Frakes herd at Scappooee yielded over 13,000 pounds of milk during a similar period, which closed in December, making a butter product of over 520 pounds She has freshened, and is now giving 70 pounds cf milk per day.

Slayer Ban Francisco, March 27 — In. Whan Chang and Ming Wun Chun, the Co- rean petiiots who elected to kill Dur­ ham W. Stevens for what they believed to be treachery to the Hermit Kingdom, were this morning charged w ith mur­ der. They niUBt face trial fur theit deed in the coutta of thia city. Held in detention {tending the struggle fir life w hiih the courageous diplomat made, the two men were charged on the police blotter as soon ss news of the end was conveyed to police headquar­ ters. In Whan Chang, the Corean who fired the ahots which proved fatal to Btevena, when informed last night at the jail of his victim's death, re­ ceived the news without surprise and with manifest delight. Bince the day of the shooting Chang has been ex­ pressing the hope that Btevena’ wounds might prove fatal. Last night, when asked if he was sorry for what he had done, Chang said: “ No; I am glad. He was no friend of Corea, and he is better dead.’ ’ There is a movement on foot among the Japanese to ertot a monument to Btevena. Japanese commenced going about among their fellow countrymen thia morning broaching the idea and suggesting that subscriptions be forth­ coming. The proposition is still in the tentative stage, but, judging from the feeling the Japanse-e show toward the dead American, there will be no difficulty in bringing it to accomplish­ ment. Whether the monument shall be erected in this city, in Tokio or in Beoul, the theater of Stevens’ services to Japan, has not yet been decided. C IT Y R O B B E D W H O L E S A L E . Im m ense Frau d s D iscovered in C h i­ cago W a te r D ep artm e n t. Chicago, March 27.— An amazing system of robbery and graft, involving city employes and big business firms, and extending V>ack through several years, has been discovered in the water department. Two employee, including a division head, were removed, and 38 subordinate employee will be dis­ charged. Some of them may be in­ dicted. Through tampering with meters and the connivance of city employes, seve ral large corporations have defrauded the city of hundreds of thousands of dollars in water taxes. City employes have sold meters to junk dealers and bartered materials for drlnka in i loons. Supplies never used by the city were purchased ostensibly for the water de­ partment and then used by plumbere in private haeinesse. The payrolls were padded with idlers and incompetents. The force, which originally numbered 200 men, was re­ duced by Superintendent W. J. Mc- Court, of the water buretfu, to 50. TRO O PS ORDERED O U T. Striking Alaska Miners May D eitro) Property. Beattie, Wash., March 27.— Troops have been ordered from Fort Seward, at Haines, Alaska, to preserve order at the Treadwell mines, on Douglass island, where 800 miners have gone on a strike. The troops are due to arrive at Treadwell early tomorrow morning, and serious trouble ¡6 — anticipated. United States Marshal Bhoup, who has just returned from Washington, left for the scene of the trouble, on receipt of dispatches from his chief deputy. The miners have threatened to blow np the works if troops are landed on the island They stole 10 kegs of dy­ namite today from the mine stores. Colonel Green, in command of one company of the Tenth infantry, left Haines toi ight with a gatling gun, and should reach the mines at an early hour this morning. The other companies stationed at Fort Seward have been or derel to be in readiness to reinforce the first company if needed. Just before his departure for Juneau at 9 o’clock last night, Marshal Bhoup received a message from hia chief depu­ ty that no set ions disturbances have oc­ curred, but trouble of a serious nature is anticipated when the troops are land ed on the island in the morning.

Mexico, City, March 28.— Chilapa, a town of 16,04)0 inhabitants in the state of Guerrero, has been shaken by au earthquake and burned. The shocks, two in number, occurred early last evening and were followed by Ure, which originating in a dozen places among the tumbling buildings, joined in a conflagration that swept the town. Governor Damian Flores, chief exec­ utive of the state of Guerrero, who is at present in this city, had at 9 o’clock this evening just received the first offi­ cial advices from Cbilapa. The mes­ sage eaye that, although a number of the buildings of the town were leveled to the ground, no lives were lost. The police quarters and the mayor’s office were destroyed and the jail badly dam­ aged. Great fiatures were made in the streets and open fields. In the neighboring town of Ometepec the jail was destroyed and 30 prisoners made their escape. Troops are guard ing the public buildings that are stand­ ing in Chilapa, but perfect order pre vails. Later returns from Chilapa show, however, that the dispatch received by Governor Flores was ultra conservative. The town was practically destroyed, though no lives were lost. Most of the buildings that were leveled were resi­ dences. Thirty-four shocks have been record ed during the past 24 hours by the seis mograph at the national observatory at Tabuyaca. Most of these shocks, how­ ever, were imperceptible except to the delicat needle of the instrument. N O R T H P O L E IS S H IF T IN G . M a k in g A m erica W a rm e r and S iberia C o ld e r. Victoria, B. C., March 28.— That the north pole is shifting and the climate is changing, making the Northern teiri- tories of this continent warmer and Norther Asia colder, is the theory to support which Mose B. Cotworth, of York, England, has been gathering evi­ dence in Alaska, from where he has re­ turned on his way to England. A curious effect of this change, it is said, may be a number of boundary difficulties between Canada and the United States, especially in the Eastern port'on. This boundary is fixed by latitude, and if the north pole is really moving, the latitudes change also, ren­ dering it advisable that the boundary he speedily marked everywhere by permanent monuments, where it has not yet been so marked already. The movement, Cotworth says, is caused by the immense accumulations cf ice along the Canadian shore of the Arctic ocean, and especially in Baffin’s land and Greenland. M IN E R S H E L D IN C H E C K . Peace C o m m ittee R estra in * F ro m R ioting. S trik e rs Jnneau, Alaska,March 28.— Although there has been no violence as yet at the Treadwell mines, the 800 men on a strike are only prevented from making an ontbreak by the commission of 20 men from the union who have been called the peace committee. The tension is bo high that the least word will bring about trouble. The union leaders have asked the men to refrain from drinking, bnt idleness is irksome and the men are chafing nnder the delay of a settlement, especially in view of the fact that the company has declared that never again w ill there be any of the present leaders employed by the company. N aval O ffic e rs S u rp ris e d [at Efficiency. Paris, March 25.— Many French offl- wra frankly lay Hat the impressive demonstration given by the American battleship fleet in its journey to Magda- leua bay of its ability to keep at sea raises the American navy to an equali­ ty with that of Great Britain. I f the return journey is as su uetaful as the trip around Booth America hae been, they declare, the Amtrican navy will have no superior in the world. The French minister of marine, M. Thomson, is so Impressed with the re­ sult of this cruise that he is instructing Lieutenant Commander de Blanpre, the French naval attache at Washing­ ton, to procetd to Ban Francisco and send a full report of the condition of the ships and the lessons of the cruisr. The lack ol boiler accidents during the voyage already htts called out criti­ cism of the contrast furnished by the French navy, where trouble in ths en­ gine room is constant, and M. Thom­ son has been interp lated as to why the government does not use the Amer­ ican type of boiler, which is now being manufactured in France. A salient feature of the cruise which is attract! 1 g attention here is the suc­ cess obtained from the American sys­ tem of employing line officers in the en­ gine rooms. This procedure up to the present time has been regarded with much skepticism in Ktench naval circles. News of the decision to send the bat­ tleship fleet back to the Atlantio coast by way of Australia and the Suez canal is received here as a crowning revelation of the efficiency of the American navy. The statement that the cruise is to be extended in this manner has opened the eyes of the French publio, which has been led to believe that the Ametl- can navy was a good deal of a “ bluff,” and that the cruise around South Amer­ ica would demonstrate the incapacity of the vessels, and that if it was accom­ plished the ships would be ready for the scrap heap. Even in French naval circlea tiie belief was general that this long - o ago would develope structural weaknesses in the vessels themselves, or at least serious breakdowns in the engine rooms. In view, of theee opin­ ions, the anninncemei t that the fleet arrived at Magdalena bay ahead of it« schedule, ready for taiget practice and in better condition than when it sailed from Hampton roads in December, lias crested all the more astonishment. NEW ERA FO R R O A D S. State Regulation I * U tte rly L ast D eclaior a K illed by Washington, March 25.— It has re­ quired a second day’s consideration for men in public life in Washington to fully grasp the sweeping character of the decisions handed dow n by the Su­ preme court in the Minnesota and North Carolina railroad rate law cases and to realize their important effects in restoring confidence in railway securi­ ties and bringing back the prosperity of the nation, temporarily checked by the money stringency of last fall. Aa a re­ sult of these decisions, a brighter era for railroad property is dawning. The immediate resulte brought about b) these decisions are: 1. No state, through its officers or it« courts, can enforce a rate law paesed by its legislature pending the settle­ ment of the law’s constitutionality by the Federal courts, when direct appeal is made to the latter. 2. The rate laws of two stateB have been wiped out completely and every other state in the union that has enact­ ed rate legislation is in doubt sb to whether its law is valid. 3. The overwhelming power of a Federal injunction to restrain, not the action of state courts, bnt individuals from proceeding through mandamus in the state courts to enforce that which the Federal court seeks to stay, has been established by the highest tribu­ nal in the land. And thia is only an­ other way of declaring that the power of a state court ¡ b nugatory, cnce the Federal authority interferes. 4. Any rate law which charges a state, through its officers, with the duty of administering it is open to Fed­ eral inquiry the moment the Etate at­ tempts to force the law, and such inter- ferene is not a contravention of the constitutional provision giving a state immunity from proeecution.
