Peking (By Cable). At the Peking Railway Station, as a train carrying one of the four missions nrderej abroad to study foreign political methods was leav ing, a bomb was exploded inside a pri vate car, killing four minor officials and wounding over 20 other persons. The wounded include Prince Tsai Tchc, who heads the most important of the missions, and Wu Ting-fang, former Minister to the I'nited States, both of whom received slight injuries. The per petrator of the outmee. who was in the car, was blown to piccis. The affair has created a pr ifottnd sen sation and causes apprehension regard ing the safety of the members of the court and leading officials of the gov ernment. The government offices and the rail ways are now strongly euarded. The edict appointing the missions men tioned in the for'-going dispatch was is sued July f. A dispatch from Peking August 20 said that the niUsions were appointed to study foreign systems of government because the Dowager Em press intended to issue a decree at the New .Year f.r the e-tabii.-hment of a parliament 12 years hence. Nearly Six Years at Washington. Wu Ting-fang was relieved of his unctions as Chinese Minister to the United States in 1002 and left for home in November of that year. While in this country he acquired a reputation for asking question and avoiding answering them. He made speeches at public func tions, was occasionally seen in American dress and made himself a conspicuous figure at Washington. He seemed to be advanced in his views, and though not a Christian, accepted many of the Chris tian teachings. In April of the present year there were promulgated various re forms at Peking in response to his me morial. Lately he has been somewhat in the public eye by reason of various ut terances on the Chinese boycott of American goods. Wu Ting-fang remained at Washing ton nealy six years. His recall was said to be prompted by a desire at Peking to entrust him with the revision of China's commercial treaties to suit them to present-day conditions. He came to Washington in April, ir. and made many friends while he. was in this coun try, being in great request as a speaker during the latter part of his term of office. When he left, much regret was expressed at his departure, as he had proved himself a brilliant man of brond education, caiholic tastes and wide knowl edge. He probably knows more about the United States than any other China man living, and he certainly contributed in a great measure to establish excellent relations between China and America. On his return to Peking after leav ing the United States he was appointed to a post in the Chinese Foreign Office. It was reported that he was to be sent on a mission to Europe and to the United States, and that he had been appointed a commissioner of The Hague tribunal, but it is evident that the Peking govern ment has found full employment for his activities in codifying the European and American commercial laws for use by the Imperial government and in under taking the reform of rlie Chinese crim inal law. A son of Wu Ting-fang was educated at Atlantic City, graduatinz at the High School there with the highest honors. FORTY-SIX CASES OP YELLOW FEVER. Unexpected Hlga Rat For the Day la New Orleans. New Orleans (Special). The yellow fever report to 6 P. M. Sunday is as fol lows: New cases, 46; total to date. 2.808; deaths, 6; total, 365; new foci, 11; cases under treatment, 310; discharged, 3,133.

Bitter Politics In Cltnfurgoa Leads to Blood shed Chief of Police Killed by Liberals Tho Murder of Congresstnaa Vlllueodns, Supporter of Jos Gomti for Presidency, Follows. Havana (Speeiat). A serious politi cal riot occurred at Cienfuegos, resulting in the death of two prominent men, and the killing and injuring of several others. The official version of this affair is that the police, hearing that a quantity of arms were stored in a cafe, went to seize them. They were opposed by a party of Liberals, who shot and killed Chief of Police lllanre. The crowd outside, including a num ber of Moderates, upon bearing of the death of lllanre, entered the cafe and killed Enrique Villuendas, a member of Congress and a supporter of Jose Mi guel Gomez for tiie presidency. The rural guards then arrived at the scene and restored order. Friyre Andrade, secretary of govern ment, claims that the police and rural guards only act to maintain order, and do not take sides politically. The Lib erals claim that the whole Province of Santa Clara, of which Jose Miguel Go mez is governor, and especially the Cien fuegos district, is being ruled in the most despotic way, and that the police and rural guards behave with absolute oiKsidedness. Thev declare that the violence was only the natural consequence of the high handed measures of the government. The last act of Senor Villuendas was to send a telegram, which apneared in th; Lucha, protesting against the abuses of the police and rural guards in Cien fuegos, and claiming that among other outrages they had stripped women of their clothing. He added that President Palma was seeking to provoke the inter-' vention of the United States in the affairs of Cuba as a step towards the annexation of the island. The murdered chief of police is vari ously reported as having been a strong friend of law and order and as a brutal aggressor, according to the political lean ings of those wdio discuss his fate. Senor Villuendas represented Santa Clara in the Congress. It was reported that Chief of Police Illance entered the Correctional Court, at Cienfuegos, and threatened Senor Vil luendas with a revolver. This gives color to rumors that the police wished to get rid of Senor Villuendas. Jose Miguel Gomex, who is governor of Santa Clara province, is the Liberal candidate for the presidency against President Palma, renominated by the Moderates. The province has been the scene of political strife and disorder since the campaign opened. Some weeks ago there were charges of corruption against the officials at Vueltas. ., President Palma ordered an investiga tion of that and other municipalities. Governor Gomez openly defied the Pres ident, asserting that he was encroaching on the rights of the provincial govern or. Before an examination of the rec ords at Vueltas could be made the City Hall was burned and all the municipal books destroyed. Palma's Party Wins In Cuba. Havana (Special).

WANTS COUNTRIES COMBINED. President Roosevelt Thinks It Sales! for tat Panama Canal. Washington (Special). The visit of the Panama Ministers of Foreign Af fairs to Costa Rica to negotiate a treaty of annexation is regarded here as a sig nificant development of an idea which President Roosevelt has had in mind for combining the smaller countries in the territory lying near the canal zone into one large republic. It is believed that the President's efforts are at present be ing quietly exerted with Colombia in fur therance of this plan. He feels that it would be better for the success of the canal if the territory for a considerable distance to the north and south should be under one government. It is understood at the State Depart ment that the suggestion is meeting with approval in influential quarters in the countries concerned. flow tbe Mlkasa Sunk. Tokio (By Cable). Regarding the loss of the battleship Mikasa strong doubt is now expressed that the fire started at the base of the mainmast.

Indianapolis, Ind. (Special). George W. Ford, a farmer, living eight miles from Vcvay, Switzerland county, bound his wife, two sons and a daughter hand and foot in the house about 3 o'clock A. M. and then deliberately set the house on fire, burning the structure and its oc cupants. When neighbors were aroused bv the light from the blazing house Ford' told them what he bad done, but in the midst of the recital began to rave incoherently, and he is now confined in jail at Vevay, a hopeless maniac. Ford had frequently threatened the life of his wife, and it was thought that he was jealous of her. He had always hern a quiet, unoffending citizen, and his threats were not regarded, for his wife's character was above reproach. Recent ly, however, he became very despondent and seemed to think that his affairs were going wrong. To one neighbor he said that he would kill all the members of his family rather than leave them to suf fer. When the neighbors reached the house flames were coming from every part of it, and it had evidently been fired in a dozen places. When the fire had burned itself out the body of Mrs. Ford was found a charred mass at the foot of what was once a bed, only the castors and a few pieces of charred wood marking the spot. The bodies of the two sons, aged 12 and 14, and the daughter, aged 8, were found charred and blackened in another room.

It re quired a half dozen men to overcome Ford, as he fought like a demon when he discovered that he was to be placed under arrest. Ford is 50 years of age and his wife was 40.

Then she went to a friend with whom she ar-. ranged to provide bail, and the boy was released. Now it is war between the parents. & On his wife's fiftieth birthday, Charles Coubeaud, a wealthy real estate owner of 566 Washington avenue, Brooklyn, while carrying a bouquet of flowers to her, was killed by a Long Island ex press train on Atlantic avenue, at the Vandcrbilt avenue crossing, within 50 feet of the house in which he was born. Not to Transfer Corttlyou. Washington (Special). From a source close to the President it is said tHat Postmaster General Cortclyou will not be transferred to the Treasury in Feb ruary; that he has yet to complete the work which he was sent to the Post office Department to do, and that it is the intention of the President to appoint a successor to Secretary Shaw who has had more financial experience. FINANCIAL. It is said that American investors in the Canton-Hankow Railroad will get out $3 for each $1 they put into that Chinese enterprise. De Haven & Townsend's market let ter says: "The best indications point to Gates bullishness, Morgan bullishness and Rockefeller bullishness." The Alleghany Valley Railroad reports for July a gain of Si,Hj8 in net profits, and for the year a gain of $501,621.. Gross earnings in July increased $106, III. Fred Chandler purchased for $12,000 the Philadelphia Stock Exchange seat which belonged to the late Frank Dun dorc. The last seat sold fetched $15,000. In July eighty-five railroads, which have made reports, gained 10 per cent, in gross earnings anil 9 per cent, in net profits. In the first week of September twenty-seven roads show a gain of 5 per cent, in gross business.

"These companies have been organ ized to construct a tunnel under the North River from a terminus in Jersey City at Erie and Twelfth streets to a terminus under Chambers street between the Broadway and Brooklyn Bridge term inal, in the Borough of Manhattan, and to provide thereby better means of com munication between the business p;;ris of the city of New York and the terri tory served by the Public Service Cor poration, which operates all the surface lines in the counties of Hndson, Essex, Passaic, Union and Middlesex in New j Jerev, or about 550 miles of line. The Public Service Corporation pro poses to supplement its existing facili ties in Now Jersey by a new, direct, high-speed line from Newark with com munication without changes to the pro posed tunnel in Jersey City, thus afford ing direct transportation from its termi nus in Newark to the City Hall in New York in J5 minutes. Arrangements have been made for a joint passenger station at Jersey City which will enable the Erie Railroad Company to transfer its sub urban passengers to the proposed tunnel line. 1 The location of the proposed tunnel at the Manhattan end has been made with a special view to furnishing the best pos sible facilities for the distribution of the traffic, not only by means of the .Metro politan surface lines, but also by the proposed new rapid transit subways re rently laid out by the Board of Rapid Transit Commissioners. The engineers estimate that the time between Jersey City and tiie Manhattan terminal of the tunnel will not exceed five minutes on the trains. The Interstate Tunnel Railway Com pany will be controlled and financed tointly by the Metropolitan interests, by the Public Service Corporation and the other interests which will furnish the traffic at the New Jersey end. It is proposed that the construction of the tunnel shall begin as soon as the necessary rights have been granted by the public authorities. An application for the necessary rights will be made im mediately to the Rapid Transit Com mission. LIBRARY TURNS OUT AN ELEPHANT. Indiana Town Clerk's Appeal to Carnegie to Take It Back. Richmond, Ind. (Special). "Please, Andy, take back your library and the town lot with it." This is the gist of a letter written by the city clerk to Andrew Carnegie, fol lowing the closing of the handsome li brary recently erected here with Mr, Carnegie's gift of $15,000. Lack of funds is given as the reason for its closing. The public paid for the real estate on which it is built, and if the library is taken back 'hy Mr. -Carnegie . the . real estate will go with it, and the wealthy ironmaster is in the position of being offered a town lot as a gift instead of be ing a donor, as he expected to be when he furnished tbe funds with which to erect the library. What to do with the library has been worrying the town offi cials more titan the lack of literature before the gift was made, but the happy idea of the city clerk to ask Mr. Carnegie to take back his library has lolved the problem. It is believed Mr. Carnegie will refuse and possibly may idvance a small sum to keep the library open for a time. TAKAHIRA MAY RETIRE. Japaaes Minister doing. Home, Probably For Uood.
