A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER
Has Displayed Great Ability ns a
Military Man His Troops the
Best Drilled of Any in the King
domThe Death of Li Hung Chans
Due to a Quarrel with the Russian
Minister.
By Ev.lullic U'lrc tram The Awodated 1'n.ss.
"Washington, Nov. S. Yuan Shika
Knl. whii succeeds LI Hung Cluing as
viceroy of Chl-LI.'la the best, appoint
ment that could have neon made from
all China, according to Air. Rockwell,
the special commissioner of the United
States to J'ckin. He Is about !.". year.-?
of age and came originally from the
province of Hunan, where he begun bis
public career as a military ofllcer. He
was made minister to Korea and for
many years ably defended Chinese In
terests' In that troubled country. An
governor of Shan Tung he showed sur
prising ability in trantiullizlng that
dangerous province, while Ills gift for
diplomacy was exercised fully In pre
venting friction between this turbulent
population of the peninsula and the
irmans when the latter were steadily
.ncioaehlng from their original hold
ings at Kino Chow on the north coast.
As n military man. Yuan showed his
ability by the organization of what Is
undoubtedly the best military force in
China and they were his troops that
occupied I'ekin last September when
the foreign forces were withdrawn.
They are thoroughly disciplined and
well ofiicored, and considering Chinese
conservatism, they form a. magnificent
display of Yuan's ability.
"Wang "Won Shao. who is made depu
ty viceroy of Clii-Li, is also a man of
marked ability. Fortunately he always
has been friendly to foreign ideas and
Is not a reactionist. He was one of the
grand secretaries of state and is at
present one of the two ministers ap
pointed to form the new Chinese for
eign otllce which will replace the tsung
li yauien. "Wang is a. man of affairs
and was himself a member of the tsung
II yameu some years ago, besides hav
ing been director of mines and rail
oads. He has been with the imperial
ourt ever since it Mod from Pekiu.
The records show that lie always
has exerted ills influence in the direc
tion of reforms.
Cause of Li's Death.
iVkin, Nov. S. A violent dispute
with M. Paul Lessar, "Russian minister
to China over the Manchuriuu treaty,
appears to have been the Jnunedlaio
cause of the death of LI Hung Chang.
The diplomatic events preceding this
tragic climax have enabled Japan for
n moment to frustrate the designs of
Russia, A fortnight ago the Japanese
legation secured a reliable outline of
ihe terms of the treaty and, thereupon,
demanded that the Chinese plenipoten
tiaries ofiii'ially lay before them the
text, basing this demand upon the al
legation that Japanese interests were
involved In any change of the status
of Manchuria.
The Chinese plenipotentiaries refused
to comply with the demand. Thereupon
the Japanese government from Toklo
communicated with the southern vic
eroys and induced them to use their
influence with the empress dowager
against tlio treaty. In the meantime
the empress dowager Instructed 1.1
Hung Chang to communicate the
treaty after certain modllleatlons, to
the ministers of the powers and if they
did not object to sign the same.
LI Hung Chang visited M. Lessar and
explained to him the instructions. The
rtusslan minister strongly objected to
revealing the text of the treaty to tho
ministers of the other powers and a
stormy interview ensued, LI Hung
Chang wilt homo in u violent passion
and had a hemorrhage which the doe
tors attribute to the over-exertion of a
weakened system,
While these things were happening
In Pekin, the southern viceroys sent to
Hie empress dowager a memorial
against the treaty. On receiving It
she telegraphed to Li Iltiug Chang
eoiinterinaiidlng tho order to sign. This
Instruction cnnio after LI Hung fining
bad become unconscious, When M,
Lewir endeavored to have LI Hung
Chang's seal afllxed to tho treaty, Chou
Vu, provincial treasurer, had arrived
from l'ao Ting l'u and had taken
charge of the seals as Ihe temporary
successor of Marl LI, '
The ling of the United Slates legation
was the only one half-niasteil In i'okln
today. The mourners and the family or
LI Hung Chang will burn paper offer
lugs tomorrow, In accordance with cus
tom, for the uo of bis spirit In tho
other world. The street Is lumu with
mourning emblems. All the attornlanls
at the ynmon are richly attired and
many of them r-'.iiidlly dressed. Today
musicians beat drums about the house.
,L1 Hung Chaps's estate will remain
Intact for the use of his eldest son, who
will provide for the utlui members of
the family.
i'uau Shi Kal's successor In Uk guv
Hinorship of the province of Shan-Tung
Is un unknown man, who lias been
holding an unimportant, though luera
tlve, position as grain commissioner I it
one of the Inland towns of the province.
Tic will bo watched with the deepest
solicitude, ns the peace of China will
largely depend upon his course.
Wang "Wen Shao, w'.io is 71 years of
age uiid deaf, was never rated as u
statesman or a diplomat, ills appoint
ment Is probably temporary.
Telcgraphlo communication with
Prince Chlug was obtained today. lie
Is hastening lo meet the court. After
consultation he will return with Wang
Wen Shao, who Is accompanying the
court, which Is now five days' journey
from Kal Kong Kit.
Kmperor Kwang Su, report sayc is
asserting himself and leading the Im
perial cortege on horseback. Native
papers declare that lie proposes to In
nugttrato a revival of the military
spirit, assuming the honorary position
of commander In chief and wearing a
uniform. Tiny also assert that he will
compel the nobles to follow his example
to take military position and to study
military science.
A private letter from a European
now in Tnl Yuen Kit says that two
llrillsh olllcers with it par.ly of Indian
soldiers encountered the Imperial pro
cession, were suspected of unfriendly
motives and were detained as prisoners
by the emperor's bodyguard for a few
days. Apparently this was an explor
ing parly, commanded by Major .Mani
fold and Captain Hunter, which has
been operating In that region for some
time.
The name of the new governor of the
province of Khan-Tung Is Chang Yen
Chun, and the name of the town where
he has been grain commissioner Is
Tsing Kinng Fit.
The Manchurlnn Convention.
London, Nov. !, The Hankow corre
spondent of the Times supplies what
he alleges Is a correct translation of tho
authentic text of the Miinchurlnn con
vention proposed by Russia.
The convention stipulates for Ihe
gradual withdrawal of the Russian
forces within three years "provided no
other rebellion occurs and the powers
do not interfere."
London, Nov. S. The number anil
stations of (he Chinese garrisons must
be settled in concert with the Russian
military authorities; and Russian as
sent must be obtained for any rail
way construction in Southern Man
churia. "No mention is made In the text sent
by the grand council to the Southern
viceroys, of mining, commercial or
exclusive privileges." says tho corres
pondent, "and the viceroys believe the
convention contains other clauses
which the grand council Is not willing
lo disclose."

LAST ECHOES OP THE
CUDAHY KIDNAPPING
The Jury in the Case of James Calla
han, After a Session of 36 Hours,
Returns "Not Guilty" Verdict.
Dy Kv.luslvc Wire fromTiie Associated Pieu.
Omaha, Xeb., Nov. S. The jury in
the case of James Callahan, after be
ing out thirty-six hours, brought in a.
verdict tonight, finding the defendant
not guilty and the prisoner was dis
charged. This is tho last echo in the
Cudahy kidnapping case, nnd is prac
tically the second time Callahan has
been acquitted of tho kidnapping
charge.
Tho accused was arrested last Feb
ruary and charged with being an ac
cessory to tho kidnapping of Edward
A. Cudahy, jr.. sion of the millionaire
packer. Callahan was first tried on a
charge of robbery. A trial followed,
extending over two weeks, during
which 200 'witnesses were examined.
The jury returned a verdict of acquit
tal and was severely scored by Judge
Raker, who presided.
Callahan was thou held on a charge
of perjury in tlio robbery trial. Dur
ing tho present trial the prisoner gave
way to the nervous strain and col
lapsed in the court room. "When tho
clerk read the verdict and pronounced
the words. "Not guilty," the prisoner
gave a sigh of relief and his friends
crowded around to offer their congrat
ulations. The judge discharged the
prisoner.
It was remarked that there is now
little to prevent Put Crowe from coin
ing to Omaha. The evidence on which
Callahan has been tried would prob
ably prevail in case of Crowe being
tried on the sumo charges, nnd Coun
sel Shields gives as his opinion that
Crowe will now return.

By Ktcluilrc Wire fiom The Associated Ptm.
Leavenworth, Kan., Nov. 8. All tlin
police, deputy sdierlffs and farmers In
tho country adjacent to Leavenworth
wore on the lookout today for the
twenty-sis federal convicts who es
caped from the stockade yesterday. Am
a result three convicts have boon killed,
another wounded and IJvo captured un
hurt. Tlio casualties took place in 11.
llKht near Nortonvllle, Kansas, and
resulted in tlic death or capture of five
111011, three of whom are dead, .Tallies
Hoffman, aired "0. white; J. J. Poffcn
holn, apod 25. white, n soldier convict;
.John Green, used 21, white.
The fourth. AVIllard Drake, white,
nired 19, Is wounded and recaptured,
and the fifth, Fred Alooro. aged IG, 11
negro, is recaptured unhurt.
The flvo men were discovered In the
barn of Fay Welsliaar, near' Norton
vllle, Kansas, about !! o'clock this af
ternoon. Welsliaar went into the barn
and was ordered out at the point of
guns. Ife rushed to Nortonvllle and
gathered a posse of men who, with re
volvers, shotguns nnd a few Winches
ters, hastened lo tho scene. The con
victs saw the men coming and rushed
from the barn. They had two shot
guns and revolvers. The posse pursued
them and a running duel resulted. The
convicts were at a. disadvantage anil
their shots hail no effect while at ev
ery volley from the posse one of the
convicts fell. After two of them had
fallen two of the others gave them
selves up, one being wounded, the oth
er unhurt. The fifth was fully twu
hundred yards away when a. man with
a. Winchester drew a bead on him and
lived. He evidently had been bit, but
tried to go on. A volley was fired at
him and he fell dead. None of the
citizens was hurt.
Reports come from numerous points
today of ihe arrest of men supposed to
be fugitive convicts, but none, of th
suspects has been idontitled.
The oldest of the fugitives is aged .'$.
Quin 11 Kort. who was killed yester
day, was V.t years old. One of the
convicts still at largo is a military
prisoner and the remainder were serv
ing terms for robbery or assault. One
Is an Indian and two are negroes.
Nearly all came from Oklahoma and
Indian Territory and they are supposed
to be making for that country. . They
are hardy men, used to tire arms and
horses. Home have obtained both but
others are on foot and defenseless.
Warden MtClaughry snys ho will cap
ture every one of tlio men. In the
districts around tho city every road
and river crossing that the fugitives
might be expected to use. Is guarded
by armed men. the farmers having
turned out to earn the $(ii) reward Hint
will bo paid for tho return of each con
vict. Those of the men who are armed
are likely to be shot on sight.
Two unarmed convicts were found
hiding in a r.ivlne on a farm near Jar
halo, Kansas, nnd they .surrendered
without resistance. The sheriff of
Douglass county has captured" two
convicts nt Lawrence, Kansas.
