Pekin. Nov. 8.—A violent dispute
with Paul Lessar, Russian minister
to China, over the Manchurian treaty
appears to have been tire immediate
cause of the death of Li Hung Chang.
Diplomatic events preceding this
tragic climax have enabled Japan for
the moment to frustrate the designs
of Russia. A fortnight ago the Jap-
anese legation secured a reliable out-
line of the terms of the treaty, and
thereupon demanded that the Chinese
plenipotentiaries officially lay before
them the text, basing this demand
upon the allegation that Japanese in-
terests involved any change of the
status of Manchuria. The Chinese re-
fused to comply witli the demand.
Thereupon the Japanese government
from Tokio communicated with the
southern viceroys and induced them
to use their influence with the empress
dowager against the treaty. In the
meantime the empress dowager in-
structed Li Hung Chang to communi-
cate the treaty, after certain modifi-
cations, to (he 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 Russian minister strongly ob-
jected to revealing the text of the
treaty to the ministers of the other
powers, and a stormp interview en-
sued. Li Hung Chang went home in
a violent passion and had a hemor-
rhage. which the doctors attribute to
the overexertion of a weakened sys-
tem.
While tilings were happening in Pe-
kin, the southern viceroys sent to the
empress dowager a memorial against
the treaty. On receiving it she tele-
graphed to Li Hung Chang, counter-
manding the order to sign. This in-
struction came after Li Hung Chang
had become unconscious. When M.
Lessar endeavored to have Li Hung
Chang’s seal affixed to the treaty. Chou
Fu. privincial treasurer, had arrived
from Pao Ting Fu and had taken
charge of the seals as temporary suc-
cessor of Karl Li.
Yuan Shi Kai's successor in the gov-
ernorship of Shan Tung is an un-
known man, who has been holding an
unimportant though lucrative posi-
tion as grain commissioner in one of
the inland towns of the province. He
will be watched with the deepest so-
licitude, as the peace of China will
largely depend upon his course.
Wang \\ eng Shoa. who is 71 years
of age, and deaf, was never rated as
a statesman or diplomat. His appint
ment is probably temporary.
Telegraphic communication with
Prince Ching was obtained today. He
is hastening to meet the court. After
consultation he will return with Wang
Weng Shoa, who is accompaniing the
court, which is now five days' journey
from Kai Fong Fu.
Emperor Kwang Su, report says, is
asserting himself and leading the im-
perial cortege on horseback. Native
papers declare he purposes to inaugu-
rate a revival of the military spirit,
assuming the honorary position of
commander-in-chief, and wearing the
uniform. They also assert that he
will compel the nobles to follow his ex-
ample, to take military positions and
study military science. A private let-
ter from a European now in Tai Yuen
Fu says two British officers, with a
party of Indian soldiers, encountered
the imperial procession, and were sus-
pected of unfriendly motives, and were
detained as prisoners by the emperor’s
body guard for a few days. Apparent-
ly this was an exploring party, com-
manded by Major Manifold and Cap-
tain Hunter, who have been operating
in that region for some time.
Successor Named.
Washington, Nov. 8.—Minister Con-
ger at Pekin has informed the state
department that Y uan Shi Kai has
been appointed to succeed Li Hung
Chang a.; viceroy of Chi Li, and Wang
Wen Shao has been appointed deputy

is the present viceroy of Shan Tung
province.
Pekin, Nov. 8.—A special edict ar-
rived here appointing Yuan Shi Kai
(governor of Shan Tung province) as
governor of the province of Chi Li,
i and appointing Wang Wen Shao, vice
j president. of the foreign office and
| member of the cabinet, to succeed Li
j Hung Chang as plenipotentiary. They
! are both ordered to Pekin forthwith.
! Another edict creates Li Hung Chang
! a marquis, and bestows on him the
I new name of Li Wen Chung, by which
he will be known in history.

CONVICTS
ARE HOTLY
PURSUED
Leavenworth. Kan., Nov. 8.—Five of
the convicts who escaped from the
new federal prison yesterday were dis-
covered today hid in the barn of a
farmer named Fay Weishaar, residing
near Nortonville. YVeishaar immedi-
ately went to town and reported his
find and organized a posse of citizens
to go out to capture the men.
The hastily organized posse went
out to the barn. Weishaar then en-
tered the barn and requested them to
leave. The convicts threatened to
shoot the citizens if they did not with-
draw at once from the vicinity.
As the citizens were talking the mat-
ter over the five convicts emerged
from the barn door to make a sudden
dash for liberty, firing at the citizens
as they came out.
Weishaar and the citizens returned
the fire of the convicts, killing three
instantly and wounding the other two.
The whole country is aroused and
search is being made for the convicts.
was the result of an attempt by three
masked robbers to hold up a gambling
house last night at Naco, a small but
tough town on the Arizona border.
The dead bandit has been identified
as Will Cravens of Dog Springs, N.
M. He was a cowpunclier, with a fair
record, and a member of a wealthy
and respectable New Mexico family.
A group of gamblers and loungers
pointed their hands toward the sky
when the desperadoes entered the sa-
loon at a late hour and abruptly de-
manded “Hands up!" Cravens ap-
proached the roulette table and pro-
ceeded to fill a hag wfth the bank
roll, amounting to several Hundred
dollars. E. P. Ellis whipped out a
revolver before the movement was
detected by the robbers and Cravens
fell dead when he shot. The other
bandits were demoralized and fled in
disorder. One of them was wounded
by another bullet from Ellis' revolver.
They reached their horses, which
were hitched in the brush, and rode
for the mountains, closely followed
by a posse, which had been hastily
organized. The chase was exciting,
tiie pursuers coming so close to the
robbers several times that siiots were
exchanged.
The robbers have a fair chance of
making their way into the moun-
tains.

Special to The Times.
Bishee. Ariz.. Nov. 8.—It developed
tonight that the man who was
wounded in attempting to "take in"
a roulette game’s hank roll in Naco,
fourteen miles from this place Thurs-
day night, was Ed. Muse, formerly of
Sherman, Tex. Muse was one of the
confederates of Cravens. the man
killed by Deputy Sheriff Ellis, who
was conducting the hold-up. He has
lived in Arizona for some time, hav-
ing been employed as a cowboy.
Muse is said to he related to a prom-
I inent and wealthy north Texas jurist
[ by that name. At last accounts he was

Posse Kills Two.
Topeka. Kan., Nov. 8.—It is learned
only two escaping prisoners were
killed at Nortonville by the citizens
posse. Convicts J. J. Poffenholz and
James Huffman. John Green and Wil-
lard Drake were wounded, the latter
slightly, and Fred. Moore captured
