Chicago, July 22. Blazing fiercely from wheels to roof, a runaway motor car on the Metropolitan Eleclric elevated railroad whizzed by hundreds of waiting pasaengere and led a fire engine a chase of more than a mile and wae not stopped until it had reached tbe crowded loop in the down town region need by the four elevated roads of Chicago. The car waa brought to a top by tho temporary shutting off of the power at the power house, the engineer having been advised that a runaway car was speeding down town. When the car was first found to he on fire It waa detached and run pa the Abredeen Street elation so that neither the rest of the train nor the station might catch on fire. The car waa left alone and n fire engine was called. For some reason. Just as the fireman were making ready from below the elevated structure to send a stream of water to the blaze, the car suddenly started. With no me on board and leaving a trail of fire and smoke behind it. the runaway began the wild race down town. When the car stopped at the loop entrance the fire engine, distanced in the first part of the chase, came up and put out the fire, but not before the car wae a charred wreck. CHARGED WITH BRIBING A WITNESS Prominent St. Louis Politician Gave $15JX0 to Q t a Man Out of the Way Until Protected by Statute of Llmitationa. 8t. Louis, July 21 Colonel Edward Butler, a prominent polltican, was indicted today by the June Grand Jury on tbs charge of bribing a witness. The indictment grows out of the confession of Charles F. Kelley, former member of the House of Delegates, who ye that Butler gave him 115,000 for leaving the county and staying away until the bribe givers, against whom he had damaging evidence, were protected by the statute of .limitation. It la understood that Butler has already given bond to answer to the charge. The expected Indictment against n politician cVdm to Butler and against "the man higher up who also figured In the confessions of Kelly and former Delegate Gutke were not returned- The members of the. Jury came into court and asked Judge Taylor for further time to deliberate. They were given until August 25 to make a reply. London, July 23. The morning paper generally express satisfaction that the Malacca Incident has been settled in accordance with the demands of Great Britain, though there is an inclination to await the settlement of the broader question of the passing through the Dardanelles of the volunteer fleet steamers, believing that all danger haa been avoided. This feeling is heightened by Premier Balfour's announcement that he still had no official news to communicate dither In connection with the Malacca incident or with the volunter fleet steamers In general. Some papers are even Inclined to doubt the authenticity of the news that the Malacca Incident has been settled, but the Daily Telegraph explains the apparent contradiction existing between Mr. Balfour's statement! and the telegrams from SL PetTwo dispatches left the forersburg. eign office on July 21st, says the Daily Telegraph. "One has elicited a favorable reply, but the other baa not yet been answered. The promise that no similar Incident shall occur again Is very vague and elastic. It may mean that no British Teasel shall In the future be seized, the papers which are regular and the cargo carried by which belongs to hie British Majestys government This is not much of a concession, seeing that our fleet has Instructions to prevent another such outrage. The paper fears that the Russian government has not yet agreed to desist in converting the volunter fleet ateamere into cruisers after passing the Dardanelles.
