A definite anno>uiczmeat of the closing up of the Avmstrong & Underwood restiurant which has been operated in this city for the past summer was made this morning by John Armstrong, who hasmanaged the establish- ment since it was located here. The doors of the cafe will be closed Saturday. Messrs. Arm- strong and Underwood have been very successful in the business in this city but have decided to remove to Northwest Territory, Canada, where Mr. Underwood has already been looking over the situation with a view of engag- ing in business. They have not as yet decided what they will en- gage in, but it is probable that they will conduct a restaurant. Many Bemidji people are sorry to learn that they will leave the city and wish them success in their new location. {Ty rooms tomorrow AFFAIRS IN VENEZUELA WASHINGTON QOFFICIALS DISSAT- ISFIED \WITH THE DELAY IN AGPHALT CASE. STATE DEPARTHENT TC TAKE ACTION GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE AND IT- ALY ALSO HAVING TROUBLE WITH CASTRO. ‘Washington, Dec. 5—Venezuela's attention will again be called in a very firm manner to the disappointment this government feels at the continued delay in the decision by the supreme court of Venezuela in the case of an American asphalt concern which has been pending for a long time. The dissatisfaction of this country with affairs in Venezuela is shared by the powers of Europe. Great Britain, France and Italy, perhaps more than the others, are having serious troubles with their claims, their commerce and their citizens. The European powers, realizing the delicacy of the situation which would be created by a forceful collection by them of their claims, hesitate to act. They would prefer that the American government bring Venezuela to a realization of her short- comings. ‘The policy of this government will not be aunounced for the present. The state department is acting with all the patience it can command and the American legation at Caracas will again endeavor to obtain at least an intimation 1egarding the probable date of a decision in the asphalt case. This decision may or may not leave the way clear for the consideration of grievances ormallv lmpmtanl REARRANGEMENT OF WAGES. Pay of Skilled Men Cut and That of Unskilled Increased. Chicago, Dec. 5—When the plate mill of the lllinois Steel company re- opens In a day or two an unusual re- arrangement of the wo. 5 will be put into eifect. highly paid men will be re the wages of the unskilled men will be raised. The equalizing process, it is expected, will be carried later all through the great plant in South Chi- cago. At the shutdown a year ago the pay of all classes of workers ‘was cut, but not in the same proportion. The men receiving large wages lost 30 ard 50 per cent and those getting small pay were cut a smaller percentage. Many of the laborers were, however, brought down to $1.40 and $1.50 a day. Now they have been informed they will get $1.85 and $2. Practically all the men whose wages run over $4 a day expect to suffer in the new arrangement. CARNEGIE’S NAMEe ON THE CHECKS Cleveland, Dec, 5—Government, officials to day practically admit- ted that two notes bearing the signature of Andrew Carne- gie were found among the assets of the Citizen’s Bank of Oberlin. One is said to be for $500,000 and the other for $250,000. The latter note bears date of Janu- ary 7, 1904. {(INDIANS SHOT BY SETTLER Trouble Over Payment For Whiskey Ends in Serious Shooting Fray. Rumors reached International Italls Monday from down river that Thomas McKinstry, a home- steader on the Rainy at the mouth of Little Fork, had shot and killed two Canadian Indians because they refused to pay for some whiskey he is alleged to have furnished them. Indian Agent Wright, who resides in Fort Frances, Ont.; made a trip down river to investigate and re- turned last evening. He states that there was trouble of some kind between McKinstry and the Indians, and that one was i shot twice through the body and is in a serious condition, while the other received a severe scalp wound, but will recover. It seems that the Indians have been in the habit of crossing the river and endeavoring tosecure whisky from the settlers, but this is the first serious arisen in consequence. Library Board Meeting. A regular meeting of the libra- ry board will be held at the libra- fternoon at 3 o’clock. All members are re- quested to be present.

Man ConvAsted of Robbery on the High Seas. Detroit, Dec. 65.—Joseph Korwin, aged twenty-six, who was indicted by the federal grand jury last week on a charge of piracy on the high seas for robbery of Mrs. M. B. Sweeting of Jackson, Mich., on the steamer West- ern States, Sept. 10, was arraigned and was sentenced by Judge Swan to life imprisonment in the Detroit house of correction. Korwin entered Mrs, Bweeting's stateroom, choked her and placed a handkerchief, soaked with chloroform, over her face. He then robbed her of $140 in cash and three diamond rings. Korwin was two years ago acquitted of the charge of murdering Maggie Snedeger in Cleve- land. He took his severe sentence with little emotion. ONLY A FEW SHOTS FIRED. | Situation at Zeigler, IIL., Comparatively Quiet. Dugquoin, Ill, Dec. 5—Comparative quiet reigned at Ziegler through the night, though there was some firing. The guard at the pumphouse was fired on, four shots coming from the brush. The militiamen and deputy marshals on guard there replied with about thirty shots. Shortly afterwards as General Bar- clay, who is in charge of the deputy marshals, and Lieutenant Kinnicott of Company C, from Carbondale, were near the Dyle blockhouse, two shots were fired at them from the dense woods, As they were between the shooters and the blockhouse the offi- cers did not return the shots, fearing they would draw the fire of the block- house. ONE IS SHOT AND KILLED PRETENDED CONSTABLES RAID SLOT MACHINES IN CHI- CAGO SUBURBS. Chicago, Dec. 4—Members of a posse of alleged pretended constables, who have been raiding slot machines in suburban saloons, encountered a severe check during the day at Blue Island. During a saloon affray in which two shots were fired one of the supposed constables was killed and another was wounded. Among the persons arrested for participation in the fight were two wearing stars bear- ing the words “Cook county con- stables.” THREE ROBBERS SHOT. Fourth Escapes Uninjured With Con- siderable Booty. Norfolk, Neb., Dec. 5.—Three rob- bers burgla: ce of the American any in the heart of the city were shot and wound- ed, two of them perhaps fatally, while a fourth, for whom the three wounded companions formed interferences like a well tralned football tcam, was hurled through a window with a quan- tity of valuable booty under his arm and escaped into the darkness. Dan Graves and Perry Wood will likely die from wounds, while George Hall is in a precarious condition. The shooting was done by F. P. Val- entine, an employe of the express com- pany, who was sleeping in the build- ing when the robbers entered, guard- ing a shipment which had just been received and which is said to have contained $25,000 in gold. This is sup- posed to have been the prize object of the robber: BEHAVED SATISFACTORILY. Initial Flight of the Airship, “Califor- nia Messenger.” Alameda, Cal, Dec. 5.—George E. Heaten’s airship, “California Messen- ger,” has been given its initial flight and bebaved in a satisfactory manner. Heaten’s airship is 76 feet long and 24 feet in diameter when fully expanded and is shaped like a cigar. The vessel is driven by a double cylinder gasoline engine, weighing sixty-eight pounds and, it is said, capable of developing fifteen horsepower. Attached to the engine are two fans, with a surface of eight square feet. These fans are screw shaped and not only do they propel the vessel, but the current they generate acts on the rudder and steers the ship. MONTANA MAN MURDERED. Young® Ranchman Shot Down While Reading in His Cabin. ‘White Sulphur Springs, Mont., Dec. 5.—Homer E. Ward, a ranchman, aged twenty-three, living about twenty-four miles north of here, was found dead in his cabin during the day. His body was partly burned and there was a bullet hole in the head. A hole through a window pane indicated that he had been shot from behind as he was seated at his table reading. The body had been laid upon the bed, cov- ered with bedclothing, saturated with kerosene oil and a match applied. The act of incendiarism, however, had failed. The crime was probably com- mitted several days ago. CONVICT KILLED BY A GUARD. Prisoner Made Desperate Attempt to Kill Prison Official. Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 5.—Robert White, who was serving ten years for murder, was shot and killed by a "guard during an attack he made on Deputy Warden Cooley, who entered his cell, accompanied by four guards and attempted to handcuff the prison- er. White made a murderous attack on the deputy with a table leg and a steel bar. One of the guards, Frank Hogan, drew a revolver and shot him in the hip, the ball glancing upward }n the abdomen. He died an hour i later. Black for United States Senator. New York, Dec. 5—Former Gov- ernor Frank S. Black’s law partner, Abraham Gouber, in the Fifth Avenue hotel during the day, made the an- i nouncement that Governor Odell and i the members of the legislature had de- cided to elect Mr. Black as United States senator.

PRESIDENT DRDERS AN INVESTIGATION REVELATIONS SO FAR TEND TO SUBSTANTIATE THE ACCU- SATIONS BROUGHT. ‘Washington, Dec. 5.—Several weeks 8go—in the heat of the presidential the president and to the postmaster general by several members of con- gress who were candidates for re-elec- tion that they were being made the victims of a systematic plan on the part of the Rural Letter Carriers’ as- sociation to defeat them unless they should accede to certain demands of the association. One of these de- mands was that the carriers should have an increase of pay. A special effort was made by members of the assuciation to embarrass Representa- tive Overstreet of Indiana, chairman of the postoffice and postroads commit- tee of the house, bécause, it is alleged, he had not dene for the rural carriers what they thought he ought to have done. President Cunningham of the association is/said to have been one of those who made demands upon can- didates for congress, of course, on be- half of the members of the association. The complaints filed with the presi- dent and the fostmaster general men- tioned Presi Cunningham as one of those respgnsible for the attempted “holdup,” as it \vas termed by the vic- tims. By direction of tne president an in- vestigation of the matter was insti- tui Ly the post: ' general. It has been in progress for two or thres weeks and the intimation is given that, thus far, it tends to substantiate the chnrges made by representatives in congress. What the resuit of the investi n may be is not disclosed, but the likelihood is that if the charges are maintained, as now is expected, there will be a general overhauling of the rural free delivery carrier service. ONE DEAD, FOUR INJURED MANY PERSONS NARROWLY ES- CAPE DEATH IN BURNING SANITARIUM. St. Louis, Dec. 5—One man was burned to death and four young women nurses were severely injured by jump- ing from windows and in running through the flames while escaping from the nurses’ home of the Missouri Baptist sanitarium, which was partially destroyed by fire. The man was Frank Roberts, a fireman employed in the sanitarfum, who lost his life in his at- tempts to save the nurses. Fifteen nurses, besides the matron, were sleeping in_the house when the campaign—complaints were made to. fire broke out. Nome but those men- tioned were injured, but all had nar- row escapes. The fire, which is be- lieved to have started from the fur- nace, spread so rapidly that when the firemen arrived the structure was in flames from top to bottom. Roberts, the sanitarium watchman, was at work in the basement of the hospital when the fire started. He immediately ran to the burning house and, putting a ladder to a second story window, en- tered the building. While arousing the inmates he is supposed to have been overcome by smoke and then burned. SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.: Terrific Explosion of Natural Gas at Columbus, O. Columbus, 0., Dec. 5—By an explo- sion of natural gas in the house of Charles Pearce the east and south sides of the house were completely wrecked and windows were broken in houses a block away. Mrs. Pearce was severely burned and injured by falling bricks. Mr. Pearce was blown from his bed and was badly bruised. Mrs. Mary Trainer, an aged woman who lives next door, was so stunned by the explosion and the shock that she is in a serious condition. Mrs. Pearce smelled gas in the kitchen and, lighting a match, went to investigate when the explosion occurred. COLLISION KILLS FOUR. Trains on the Pennsylvania Come Together. Columbus, Ind.,, Dec. 5,—While run- ning fifty miles an hour northhound passenger train No. 27 on the Penn- sylvania road ran into a construction train about two miles north of this city, instantly killing three men, fa- tally injuring at least one other who afterward died, and inflicting slight injuries upon a score of passengers. The passenger coaches did not leave the track and none of the passengers was badly injured. Road Wisconsin Man Killed. Salt Lake, Utah, Dec. 5—Through the blowing out of the arch flue in an Oregon Short Line engine at Varming- ton, near here, Fireman Daitleit, whose home is at Beloit, Wis,, has been killed. Engineer Burke, who was within two feet of the fireman, es- caped with slight injuries. Embezzler Gets Five Years. Lima, 0., Dec. 5—P. 0. Woods, sec- retary of the Lima Home and Savings association, who was found guilty of embezzling over $25,000 and who for- bade his attorneys to try for a mew trial, has been sentenced to five years in the peritentiary. CHILD WITH TWO HEADS. Medical Fraternity MucH Interested in Massachusetts Case. Somerville, Mass., Dec. 5.—A female child with two heads, born in Iast Somerville twelve weeks ago, is at- tracting much interest among the med- ical fraternity about Boston. The physician who had charge of the case, in discussing the matter with other doctors, said: “It is unprecedented in the annals of medical science. The child has two separate necks, each supporting a head, one facing to the front and the other to the rear. The latter head is not well formed. Its features ‘are ir- regular and imperfect, there being no eyes. “The baby i in the best of health and perfectly normal in every other respect. The mother is twenty years old.

St. Louis, Dec. 5—A further inves- tigation by the police and the Jefer- son guards strengthens their belief that the fire on the Pike, which totally destroyed the “Streets of Rome” and “Quo Vadis” and partly destroyed “Fair Japan,” “On the Bowery” and “Old St. Louis,” was of incendiary origin. » In addition to the loss of the build- ings, which is estimated to be about $5,000, a series of oil paintings, illus- trative of scenes from the novel, “Quo ‘Vadis,” which formed the principai at- traction in the concession known as “Quo Vadis,” valued at $75,000, were burned. The paintings were the work of Jans Styka, the Polish artist, and were brought to this country under $50,000 bond. It is believed that a waiter named Alexander Dickson, called “Scotty,” was burned, as the last seen of him was just previous to the discovery of the fire, when he was asleep within a few feet of where it originated. Two Japanese, Y. Muto and J. Ku- matsa, were painfully burned, having been rescued by Lieutenant Scheppe of the world’s fair police force from the building in which they were asleep. Three arrests were made by the po- Hce and Jefferson guards on suspicion that the persons taken in custody gnew something of the origin of the re. Aid for Starving Swedes.

GOMPLICATIONS GOHTINUE WRIT OF ATTACHMENT. AGAINST MRS. CHADWICK’'S EFFECTS IN NEW YORK CITY. New York, Dec. 5.—Complications continue to multiply in the strange case of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, the Cleveland woman whose tangled finan- cial affairs have brought her into note during the past week. From the mo- ment the light of publicity was turned in her direction by the suit of Herbert D. Newton, the Brookline (Mass.) man who sought to recover loans aggregat- ing nearly $200,000, every cday has added one or more new and se; onal features to the case. Now, wita her affairs practically taken oul o: hLer hands (hrough the appoirt: of a receiver in a cleveland court, it seems that a solution of the mystery in the affair cannot be long deferred. At the same time rumor continues to be per- sistently busy and all sorts of reports are rife. One of the stories vras Lant an at.a hment on whatever peisonal proge:ty aus. Chadwick ma, have in this city was threatened to secu:e a claim held by a tashionable dress- maker. A check on the Wade Park Banking company of Cleveland for $1,000, which had been given in part payment of the account, had gone to protest, it was said, and when this was learned the creditor at once began arrangements to secure the claim by filing an attachment. That the pa- pers were not served during the night was said to be due only to the fact that the creditor’s attorney was not successful in finding a magistrate who could issue the necessary writ. It is possible that the settlement of Herbert D. Newton's claim which, it was announced a few days ago, had been satisfactorily arranged, may en- counter an obstacle in the Cleveiand bankruptcy proceedings. The writ of attachment against Mrs. Chadwick’s personal property was served upon the clerk and manager of the Holland House during the after- noon. Lawyer Friend holds that this was sufficient to act as a service and would prevent Mrs. Chadwick from removing any of her personal property from the hotel. REFUSE TO DISCUSS MATTLCR. United States Officials Confer on the Chadwick Case. Cleveland, Dec. 5.—Receiver Lycas, in charge of the closed Citizens’ bank of Oberlin, and Judge Oldham of the office of the controller of the currency at Washington held a long conference here with United States District At- torney Sullivan extending over a period of nearly two hours. At its conclusion none of those attending the conference would discuss the mat- ter under consideration. Mr. Sallivan declared that he would make no state- ment whatever bearing on the matter. CONTINUED FOR A WEEK. Newton Suit Again Comes Up in Court at Cleveland. Cleveland, Dec. 5.—The suit brought by Herbert D. Newton of Brookline, Mass., against Mrs, vassie L. Chad- wick was again continued by Judge Babcock. The attorneys representing both Mr. Newton and Mrs. Chadwick were in court and requested that the hearing go over for a week. Mr. A. F. Stearns, of the legal firm of Carr, Stearns & Chamberlain, representing Mr. Newton, said the entire matter would be doubtless settled out of eourt. Youth Confesses to Murder: New York, Dec. 5.—Thomas J. Fur- long, the nineteen-year-old nephew of Mrs. Margaret Keeler, who was found murdered in her apartments in the Upper East Side last Monday, was ar- rested here and charged with the crime, which, the police say, he sub- sequently confessed having commit- ted. Furlong, according to the police, said he killed his aunt because she bad refused his demand for money. Steady Rainfall in Kentucky. Lexington, Ky., Dec. 5—A steady rain duriug the day broke the longest drought in Central Kentucky in half a century, though it was not heavy enough to be effective.

SORTIE OF RUSSIAN FLEET EXPECTED INDICATIONS +HAT AN ATTEMPT TO RUN THE JAP BLOCKADE WILL BE MADE. Tokio, Dec. 5—The first armistice between the combatants at Port Ar- thur was declare? on Dec. 2 for the purpose of burying the dead. It last- ed for a period of six hours. The Port Arthur besiegers report that bearers of flags of truce in the direction of the left wing arranged for a partial armistice to extend from 10 O'clock in the morning to 4 in the aft- ernoon for the removal of the dead and wounded. It is the general opinion here that the Port Arthur fleet will attempt to make a sortie when the harbor be comes untenable or when the Russian plans for escape mature. It is evident that most of the ships are badly dam- aged and unfit for service, but some have fighting power. The Russians continue mine clearing operations manifestly for the purpose of preserv- ing an avenue of escape. GERMAN ATTITUDE CHANGES. Convinced Russia Is Fighting Europe’s Battle. Berlin, Dec. 5—The conviction pre- vailing in the highest government quarters that Russia is fighting for all of Europe in the present war is in- creasing in strength and is affecting Germany'’s attitude towards the bellig- erents so that her friendliness towards Russia and her coolness toward Japan grows with every Russian reverse. The government, the Associated Press is informed, has correspondence from China showing that hundreds of Japa- nese agents are penetrating into every part of the Chinese empire distribut- ing tracts and disseminating the idea that Asia should be for the Asiatics, that no European power has rights in its territories or in the trade of the East and that Japan is fighting for all Asia in forcing Russia back. An opin- iou amounting to a certainty holds the minds of those directing Germany’s policy that the next Boxer uprising or similar popular movement against the foreigners in China will be led by the Japanese, who are laying the foamiu- tions for a vast Oriental empire thrt might ieach to the Urals. DAMAGED VESSELS REPAIRED. Japanese Preparing to Meet the Baltic Fleet. Chefoo, Dec. 5.—Japanese prepared- mess for an encounter with the Russian second Pacific squadron was evidenced by the officers of the French steamer Binp-Thuan, which left Japan Nov. 30 and arrived here during the day. Near Sasebo they saw the Japanese battle- ship Mikasa, unscarred and evidently fully repaired and painted. Forty miles south of the Shantung promon- tory the officers of the Binp-Thuan sighted the Japanese battleship Asahi, similarly rehabilitated. She was steaming north. The repair work ot the Japanese fleet has been progress- ing with great secrecy since August. The torpedo boat and torpedo boat destroyer flotilla is reported to have been: maintained in good shape. The boats arel mostly at the Japanese na- val‘base and at Port Dalny. PRIZE COURT REVERSED. Two Appeals From Viadivostok De- cisions Upheld. SL. Petersburg, Dec. 5—The su- preme prize court has upheld the ap- peal against the seizure of 5,000 sacks of flour on board the Portland and Asiatic line steamer Arabia, captured by the Vladivostok squadron July 22, and quashed the Vladivostok decision in the case. The court, in the appeal of the Ger- man steamer Thea, chartered by an English firm, which was sunk off the Japanese coast by the Vladivostok Bquadron, decided that her arrest was unjustified and the judgment of the Vladivostok prize court was set aside. As an appeal was not lodged regard- ing her cargo the Vladivostok judg- ment in that respect stands. IMPORTANCE OVERESTIMATED. Russian Official Discusses the Capture of Metre Hill. St. Petersburg, Dec. 5.—A high offi- cer of the general staff, who is inti- mately familiar with the fortifications at Port Arthur, insists that the im- portance of the capture of 203-Metre hill has been overestimated. He ex- plains that this hill, which the Rus- sians call Visokaia, is situated west of the railroad and belongs to the outer and not to the inner line of defenses RUSSIANS REPULSED.
