BLOODY BATTLE SUNDAY Italians Killed Two Officers and Wounded One Fatally. Bryan' Reception Involuntary Bal loon Ascension Experiments In Chicken Feeding Situation Darker In Cuba Review of the Atlantic Fleet Tribute to Emperor William. In a bloody buttle Sunday evening near Punxsutawney, Pa., between for eigners and the 21 members of Troop D. state constabulary, in which fully 500 shots were fired, two troopers were killed and one fatally wounded, while three other persons received bullet wounds. The trouble begun late In the day when Sergeant Logan went to Flor ence to search for Leopold Scarlat, who Is charged with having shot his brother-in-law. Logan was in a doc tor's office when Salvatore Waltsoch, who Is said to be one of the most des perate members of the "Black Hand," started a light with a countryman In front of the house where Waltsoch boards. When Logan placed Waltsoch under arrest the latter Invited him Into the boarding house to prove his good char acter. Logan had scarcely passed the door when one of three Italians In the house made an Ineffectual lunge at him with a stiletto. Logan retreated but an Italian opened fire upon hlra with a magazine shotgun. Logan returned the fire and the two men emptied their weapons at each other. Logan got a buckshot wound lu the foot and the Itulian was serm to fall back into the house, perhaps fa tally wounded. Logan, by Inquiring of tho residents, learned thnt he had a "black hand" man to deal with. He telephoned to the barracks and a detachment of five privates was detailed by Lieu tenant Eagle to assist him. When the detachment arrived at Florence Private John Henry Immedi ately started for the house, but when about 20 feet from It was shot down. Chambers and Mullen, in attemptlni, the rescue of Henry, were both shot before they reached him. A tele phone call was sent In for the entire force and 15 additional troopers were hurried to the scene. The second detachment arrived at dusk. While 12 of the constabulary kept firing Into the windows and f,-ont doors of the house six policemen niado a rush for, the side door, which they battered in. Three of the officers, Zehrlnger, Gross and Cummlngs, dash ed up the stairs but were confronted by three of the Italians who opened fire. Zehringer fell at the first volley hut the two other men escaped. The house where the Italians were barricaded was finally destroyed by dy namite and two Italians were arrested. One of the Inmates was dead and an other fatally wounded. Great Welcome to William J. Bryan. William Jennings Bryan, who arrived in New York harbor Wednesday after noon and spent the night with friends on a steam yacht down the bay, en tered New York city Thursday at 4 o'clock and was the recipient of a con tinuing ovation from that hour until late at night, when he had finished a notable 80-niluute address before 20, 000 persons gathered In Madison Square Garden. Mr. Bryan outlined clearly and vigorously the principles he thought should guide the Democrats In their next campaign. Greeted by nearly every prominent Democrat in tho country and accom panied by them, Mr. Bryan was driven from the yacht landing at the Battery to the Victoria hotel. He was con stantly cheered by those on the crowd ed sidewalks. Once at the hotel he was fairly mobbed by thousands of his admirers, was called upon for an Impromptu speech and then shook hands for more than an hour with an apparently never ending line of citizens. He dined with his family and friends and then was driven in an automobile to Madison Square Garden where his welcome home was made complete in a series of some of the most remarkable dem onstrations New York has ever known. The garden meeting was presided over by Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland. There were brief addresses by Governor Joseph W. Folk of Mis souri, Augustus Thomas, the play wright; Harry W. Walker of the Com mercial Travelers' Anti-Trust League, under whose auspices the reception was" given, and Mr. Johnson. Mr. Bryan also addressed an over flow meeting outside the garden. He was then driven to his hotel, where he was personally greeted by William R. Hearst, who had been loudly cheered as he sat In a box at the garden meet la S. Died Just Before Policy Expired. Dr. Shaw F. Neeloy of Kansas City, Kan., former United States marshal of Kansas and several times mayor of Leavenworth, died 15 min utes before the policy of $15,000 on his life would have expired. The filing of his will developed that fact. Dr. Neeley had a policy for $15,000 In the Mutual Life of New York. He had allowed payment to become over due and taken advantage of the "0 days' grace allowed by the po'ley. Ha died at 11:45 o'clock at night. Had he lived until midnight the 30 days would have been expired. F. N. Cheney, St. Louis manager for the company, says satisfactory proof of the time of Dr. Neeley's death has been furnished and the policy will be paid. An Involuntary Balloon Ascension. Caught by the anchor of a balloon and whirled 500 feet in the air over the heuds of 5,000 spectators, a Mrs. Roper of Brooklyn was seriously but not fatally hurt at the Ulster county fair at Ellenvillc. Maggie Dailey of Mlddletown, who has been making daily ascensions at the fair grounds in a hot air balloon, had Just entered the car and was about to glye the order to cast off when the balloon broke loose and sal ed upwards with the anchor trailing. Before the bystanders could scatter the anchor fluke caught in Mrs. Ro per's dress and she was whipped up Into the air screaming. The weight' on the anchor rope caused the balloon to tip over and Miss Dailey, looking out of the car to ascertain tho cause of trouble, caught sight of her involuntary fellow voyager swinging far below at the end of the rope, and at once pulled the safety cord. The balloon, which by that time had reached an altitude of 500 feet, quickly descended and reached ground a quar ter of a ""He from the point of as cension. Mrs. Roper struck the ground heavily and when picked up was found to be unconscious and to have sustained fractures of the should er, ankle and several fingers. She" had been summering at Walker Valley, Ul ster county. Experiments In Chicken feeding. The hen must do more work. This Is the idea of the agricultural depart ment. Robert R. Slocum, a poultry ex pert, has been employed to devise ways and means by which chicken raising can be rendered more profit able. Mr. Slocum will bo attached to the Bureau of Animal Industry. His first step will be to found a poultry-feeding establishment In connection with the bureau's quarantine station near Balti more, where experiments in hog feed ing have been carried on for some lime. There will be three pens constructed (or the accommodation of 25 hens each. The fowls will be fed on different plans. One of the pens will be fed with whole grain end cracked corn, together with a wet mash, and the oth er the same with a dry mash. The chickens In the third pen will be fed from self-feeding hoppers, and will have food available at all times, jo that they can eat as much as they want. The effect on egg production and fattening will be recorded. Situation Darker In Cuba. The war situation in Cuba Is far Jarker today than at any previous time since the Insurrection broke out. News of an uprising in Santiago prov ince Is causing the gravest concern. When Mr. Sleeper, the American charge d'affaires here, was told the contents of the Santiago dispatch he endeavored to verify It through the state department, but was told It was absolutely untrue. Subsequently the dispatch was verified from private sources and from newspaper sources. It is the opinion here that the worst calamity of all to the Palma govern ment would be an insurrection in Eastern Cuba. Two reliablle eye witnesses say that Cardenas, which hitherto has been considered a perfectly peaceful city, was the scene Thursday of desultory fighting between police and rural guards on one side and roving Insurg ents on the other. The only province remaining peace ful Is Puerto Principe. Tribute to Emperor William. Colonel Lambert of Chicago says France and Germany are more pros perous than Great Britain, and espec ially Germany, owing to Emperor Will lam's surpassing gifts as a ruler. The emperor, he said, had put Ger many in the way of becoming the richest nation In Europe, had perfected the finest army on the continent nnd was laying the foundations of one of the greatest lleets afloat. His consular service. Colonel Lam bert said, was Uii unmatched triumph, and behind it subsidized railways aud steamships, methodically fostered trusts and a tariff like a Chinese wall. "If we ure not careful," Colonel Lam bert added, "he will lick us out of our boots all over the world." Chicago and New York Electric Line.

Battling Nelson Lost the Fight by Fouling Joe Gans. Sans' Endurance Surprised Everyone. In the 33rd Round He Broke His Right Hand and Afterwards Did All His Work With the Left Hand. Fought a Clean Fight. Goldfleld, Nev., Sept. 4. Battling Nelson lost the fight by fouling Joe juns In the 42d round of the best and .ongest fight seen In many years. Both men were tired when the fight snded but Gans was apparently ; the stronger. He was away ahead on points and had smashed aud cut Nel Jon all through the fight without be ing severely hurt himself. Shortly after tho 42d round began :he men were In their usual clinch. Melson had his head on Gans' shoulder and his arm down. Several times he alt Gans below the belt, apparently feeling for a vital spot. At last he 3 lew back his right arm and hit Gans i vicious blow square into the groin. The colored boy sunk to his knees and rolled over on his back. Referee Siler without hesitation ordered Nelson to its corner and awurded tho fight to jims on a foul. Decision Had Unanimous Approval. Sller's declslou received almost unanimous approval. The foul was so bvlous that not even men who had bet on Nelson could say that It had not been committed. All through the long contest Nelson had employed rough luetics. He repeatedly butted Guns, and had to have his head hauled away by the referee. Referee Siler said that while he would not say that the foul was Inten tional, there was no doubt but it hud been committed. Nelson, he suid, hud employed his usual tactics all through the fight and while be kuew that Nel son was butting whenever he had an opportunity he did not disqualify for that because he saw that it was not Hurting Guns and because no other referee had ever disqualified Nelson ,'or doing the same thing. Besides, tho people were there to see the fight and he did not want to disappoint them. Slier was loudly cheered as he left the ring, as was Gans, who was car ried to his dressing room. Nelson and his seconds were hissed as they de parted. Billy Nolan, Nelson's man ager, made a disconnected statement in which he said that Gans had prom ised not to claim the decision ou a toul and yet he jumped at the first op portunity to make such a claim. All Nelson would say was that Gans was tired and quit. Gana Broke His Hand. Gans In many ways put up a remark able fight. His endurance surprised every one. His work was the more wonderful when it is known that in the 33rd round he broke his right hand. Never after that did he strike a blow with it with the exception of a few short arm jolts while clinching. He did all his work with the left hand. Gans' generalship was shown when he broke the hand. In the 33rd round he landed a hard right punch on the side of Nelson's face. A bone in the hand snapped and Gans stepped back with an expression of pain. He limped around as though he had hurt a foot and no one realized that he had in jured the right hand. Gans said after the fight that Nel son intentionally fouled. He said ho knew he could finish Nelson, as he was comparatively strong and Nelson was growing weaker all the time. "Larry" Sullivan announced for Gans that he would meet Nelson In two weeks in another fight, as he was sure he could whip him and did not want to take ad vantage of the foul. Gans explained that he did not want to box Nelson for fear of tiring him self. Ho found early that he could protect himself In clinches and real ized that the exertion in fighting that way was less than if lie stood back and did some showy boxing. He was hit ting Nelson all the time and malting the Dane do most of the work. The first 15 rounds of the fight were list. After that the men slowed up. Although Gans was far ahead of Nel son in points and most of tho time looked like a sure winner, Nelson put up a wonderful fight. Time and again Gans would jolt him on the jaw, send ing the Dane back. Ills knees would bend and his eyes become glazed, but ho always fell Into a clinch and held on and would then come back lighting as hard as ever. On occasions Nelson apparently had the udvantage. He would hit. Gans as they broke from n clinch and the col ored boy would hang on and wrestle. Gans Fought a Clean Fight. Gans fought a clean fight. Twice when he knocked Nelson down he picked him up. Once when one of Gans' punches knocked Nelson through the ropes Gans picked him up und helped him to his feet. As the col ored boy stood with his hands down waiting for Nelson to steady himself Nelson gave him a vicious blow in tho stomach. Nelson was roundly hissed for this by the crowd. Although Goldfleld is a mining camp there was no disturbance of any kind and i.o roiigh language used. Guns was the favorite. Ills behavior won the admiration of the Goldlleld peoplo and they showed It. The attendance was about 5,000. About 200 women were present. An nouncer Sullivan declared that one of the 801)8 of President Roosevelt was In the crowd. PEACE THROUCH COMPROMISE. Thought to Be the Only Way of Set tling Cuban Revolt. Havana, Sept. 4. Peace through po litical compromises Is the sole topic of conversation In all the best Inform ed circles, where it is recognized as the only .vay of bringing about a set tlement of the internal troubles. Therefore there is a general disposi tion not to agree with the stand taken by President Palma. that the govern ment should not treat with the Insurg ents upon the basis of arranging a compromise, and the president Is un derstood to have already modified his attitude to the extent that he has no objection to private negotiations on the subject. It is believed that an attempt to reach peace through some compro mise will now be made. Several bodies of insurgents have been seen with Increasing frequency between Plnar del Rio and Consola cion del Sur, in the province of Pinar del Rio.
