D.; Helena, Mont.; Boise, Ida.; Spokane, Wash.; Seattle, ‘Wash,, and Portland, Ore., to investi- gate the facts as to the interruption of telegraph service on the Great Northern and Northern Pacific rail- roads in view of the government’s duty to keep unobstructed the ave- nues of interstate commerce. The Western Union Telegraph company, in connection with the inquiry, an- nounces that that company “and its employes are in no way involved in the strike of the railroad telegraph- ers.” The following is the telegram of the attorney general to the district attor- neys: “I am informed that for several | days the transmission of interstate, foreign and government messages over the Western Union lines, which follow the Great Northern and North- ern Pacific railroads, has been seri- ously interrupted. In such a situa- tion, if it exists, the government, whose duty it is, by all means at its command, to leep open and unob- structed the avenues of interstate commerce and to protect its own com- munications, has grave concern. “You will immediately investigate with all possible speed the facts and if you find the interruption exists en- deavor to ascertain the reason, re- porting to me fully by wire.” Burglars Make Rich Haul.

Priceless Collection of Antiquities Cel. lected by Mystic. San Francisco, Aug. 7—The Ex.am- iner says: e Thomas Wilton Stantord ot Mel- bourne, brother of the late Senator Stanford, has offered to donate to Stanford university an almost price- less collection of antiques which he says was collected for him from Egyp- tian tombs by the astral body of a blacksmith mystic, who took but twen- ty seconds for the round trip from Egypt to Australia. The name of the blacksmith medium or mahatma is C. Bailey and it is said that some of the leading scientists of the world believe in his work as a communer with the inhabitants of the astral world and his ability to perform seeming mira- Dr. Jordan, however, has made it clear that this collection, the Hst of which includes many articles of great value as antiquities, will not be accepted, basing his objection on the openly avowed method of its collect- ing. PAVE STREETS WITH COPPER. Superior’s Macadam Found to Contain Rich Ore. Superior, Wis., Aug. 7—The streets of Superior are being paved with cop- per. It is said to be doubtful if any city in the world has put as valuable paving material into its streets as is being put in here this year and.has been put in on some of the streets during the last few years. Samples of the rock now being used in the streets show that it carried as much copper as the Calumet and Hecla rock and is ahead of the average rock taken from the Douglas county mines that have been partially developed here. It comes from the rock crusher located near Rockmont, on the Doug- las range, and those that have fol- lowed the copper situation in this county believe that in years to come it will be found that exceedingly val- uable rock has gone into the streets of Superior, hundreds of tons being used in the work.

LUNCHEON ON BOARD THE MAYFLOWER Bl CHIEF EXECUTIVE EXPRESSES HOPE THAT LASTING PEACE MAY BE CONCLUDED. Oyster Bay, L. 1, Aug. 7.—Repre- sentatives of Japan and Russia, who have come to this country to enter into conferences looking to the nego- tiation of a treaty of peace, were for- mally introduced to each other during the day by President Roosevelt on board the Mayflower. When both peace commissions had been received and formally presented to each other they were entertained at luncheon on the Mayflower. At luncheon the president proposed the following toast: “‘Gentlemen—I propose a toast to which there will be no answer and to which I ask you in silence standing. I drink to the welfare and prosperity of the sovereigns and peoples of the two great pations whose representa- tives have met on this ship, It is my most earnest hope and prayer in the interest of not only these two powers but of all mankind that a just and lasting peace may speedily be con- cluded between them.” President Roosevelt left the May- flower at 2:40 to return to Sagamore Hill. Ten minutes later the Japanese envoys went on board the Dolphin for the trip to Portsmouth. MORE ‘HOPEFUL OF PEACE. Decided Change ‘of Tone in the Rus. sian Press. St. Petersburg, Aug. 7.—The tone of the press is more hopeful of peace than any time heretofore, M. Wit- te’s welcome, coupled with other re- ports from the United States tending to partially remove some of the Rus- sian ill feeling arising from the belief prevailing here that American sym- pathies are with Japan. There is noticeable more or less talk of a possible Russo-Japanese alli- ance as the outcome of the peace ne- gotiations. The questions of an indemnity and of the control of the island of Sak- halin are still considered to be stum- bling blocks in the way of an under- standing, though the argument is hopefully reiterated in certain peace quarters that President Roosevelt would not have risked his prestige by a second tender of good offices with- out having learned the minimum Jap-: anese demands and the maximum Rus- sian concessions and without pretty clearly seeing his way, by his per- sonal influence, to the putting aside of whatever differences may bar the ‘way to the bringing about of peace. The Slovoe says that Russia needs a lasting peace and that such a peace can only come through an alliance with Japan. It hopes that the special powers with which M. Witte is in- vested will permit him to deal with the question of a possible alliance, but deprecates the possibility masked by an indemnity in connection with such an alliance. Another Russian Internal Loan. St. Petersburg, Aug. 7.—The gov- ernment has decided on the issuance of another internal loan to the amount of $100,000,000, of which, however, only $75,000,000 may be issued at first. The loan will be practically of the same nature and under the same con- ditions as that of March last and will probably be issued in about a fort- night. COLONIAL TROUBLES INCREASE. Outbreak Among Natives of German East Africa. Berlin, Aug. 7.—The governor of Gerivan East Africa has telegraphed to the colonial bureau of the foreign office that the natives in the Maturbi mountains north of Kilwa have risen; also that there has been an outbreak on the coast at Samanga during which several warehouses were burned.

COMMUNICATION WITH RAILROAD MAGNATE. flfiHFLIGTIHE REPORTS IN CIRCULATION NO CHANGE APPARENT IN SITU. ATION ALONG THE LINES OF THE ROADS AFFECTED. St. Paul, Aug. 7.—The telegraphers’ strike on ‘the Northern Pacific and Great Northern may yet be settled by James J. Hill, to whom President Per- ham appealed at the beginning of the week. Mr. Hill, “as the representa- tive of the owners of both roads,” was asked to review the action of tse gen- He sent a message in reply, the nature of which has not been published. Mr. Perham an- nounced recently that he was still in telegraphic communication with Mr. Hill and made this statement: “Mr. Hill has been requested to in- tervene and that request still holds good. No doubt he gets frequent re- ports of the expenses charged to ‘strike account’ and, of course, he re- -eeives his usual reports of daily earn- ings on both roads. He will draw his own conclusions by making a compari- son. “The only questions really at the bottom of the lockouts on both roads were our requests that 25 cents an hour be paid for Sunday work and that about $5,000 a year be added to the/ payrolls of each road to increase the minimum salary of the operators. By that I mean $5,000 in addition to the total payroll as fixed by each road and made effective Aug. 1.” Strike Situation Unchanged. The situation along the lines of the roads aftected by the strike shows lit- tle change. Reports received by Pres- ident Perham of the Order of Railway ~| Telegraphers say thé men are firm and he is confident there will be very few desertions, *‘as the men know they have control of the situation.” The railroad managers claim many offices have been reopened, but this is denied by recent arrivals on coast trains. “I don’t think ‘that there was an operator working all along the line,” said a passenger on the Northern Pa- cific morning coast train which arrived nine hours and thirty minutes late. “The stations, except at big points and division places, were closed and there was no one about. We seemed to have no trouble except the delays.” Grand Chief Clark of the Order of Railway Conductors and Grand Chief Stone of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers have issued instruc- tions to conductors and engineers to perform only the duties which belong to them in their regular capacities exactly as before the strike began. These instructions are in response to telegrams from President Perham of the striking telegraphers protesting against conductors and trainmen tak- ing train orders by telephone direct from dispatchers, which, it ‘was claimed, was being required by the roads. TAFT PARTY AT "MANILA. / Greeted on Arrival by Gergeous Water Pageant. Manila, Aug. 7.—Upon their arrival here Secretary Taft and his party were greeted by a gorgeous- water pageant. . Governor General Wright, Major General Corbin' and Rear Ad- miral Train, with their staffs and the official reception committee, met the party when the Manchuria anchored. The battleship Qhio, the forts and craft in the harbor fired the regula- tion salute for the secretary of war. After the party left the steamship they proceeded to the governor gen- eral’s residence, where the official wel- come was made and where the golden keys of the city were presented to Secretary Taft. Thousands lined the streets, which were elaborately decorated. DIED IN SAVING OTHERS. Young Woman Perishes in Philadel- phia Tenement Fire. Philadelphia, Aug. 7.—Mrs. Rebecca Brownstein, a young woman, lost her Monroe street during a fire early in the day. The fire started in the lower floors. Mrs, Brownstein rushed to the front of the building with her baby, which she placed in the hands of a neighbor. Returning to the third floor of the burning building she endeav- ored to assist the others in the house to escape. While hastening through a hallway she was overcome by smoke and “died ‘before the firemen arrived. “The, other gccupants were rescued. [ train reached Barboursville. PLAGUE IS SPREADING: YELLOW FEVER GRADUALLY EX¢ “TENDING ITS GRASP ON THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS, SITUATION BY NO MEANS HOPELESS TURNING OVER CONTROL TO FEDv ERAL OFFICIALS INSPIRES RENEWED COURAGE.- New Orleans, Aug. 7.—Yellow fever is gradually extending its grasp om New Orleans, but as this is the third day in which no new cases have been reported outside of ? Louisiana the spread of the disease to adjoining states is believed to have been effecs tively checked. In New Orleans the situation is admittedly serious, but by no means hopeless and the turning over of the fight to the federal gove ernment has inspired the local health authorities with renewed courage and setermination. Hearty co-operation of the state and city health authorities with the federal bureau is assured beyond a doubt and with a largely augmented corps of fever experts at work in New Orleans and competent persons in the employ of the United States government secking to modify/ the rigidity of quarantines, where such action can be safely taken, will, . it is thouggg, soon produce a splendid effect on the disturbed region, restore’ confidence generally and soon show & decrease in the number of new cases, Fourteen cases in New Orleans of persons other than-Italians were com- tained in the day’s official reporty skowing that other nationalities are. coming to be infected. An Irishmam was among those who died in ‘the Emergency hospital. The bulk of the" cases continue to come from the Itals ian quarter, but the maps on file in the health office begin to show infecs tion in ‘many other districts in- the city, though there has-béen no actual spread as yet from outlying infection, all cases being traceable to the orige' inal infection. . The total cases to date number 483 and 93 deaths have occurred. as & re¢ sult of the outbreak,... IS' GENERALLY APPROVED. Request for Federal Authorities té Assume Control. New Orleans, Aug. T7.—The ane nouncement through the Associated Press that President Roosevelt had acted with characteristic promptness on the request of Governor Blanchard | to have the Marine hospital service take charge of the yellow fever situa~ tion here created general satisfaction, though in some quarters there is dis~ sent from the action of the meeting making request for federal aid on the ground that Louisiana ought not to surrender her sovereignty and come fess her inability to handle the situa- tion. Opinion generally is, however, that confidence outside of Louisiana was so completely lacking in the local health authorities that unless the in- terposition of the government was asked there could be no expectation of a relaxation of severe quarantines until the coming of frost. Moreover, it is believed that the power, dis- cipline, etficiency and resources of the government are necessary to handle the fever-itself, which is still strongly intrenched in the down town section of the‘city. The Southern Pacific has notified Dr. Guiteras, in charge of the local oftfice of the Marine hospital service, that Iberia parish was refusing to let passengers go through there. An ef- fort will be made to bave the regula- tion modified. Confined to a Limited Area. . Washington, Aug. 7.—The postoffice department announces that the inter- ruption to the mail service in the states of Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas on account of the enforcement of quarantine regulations in the fever districts is mainly confined to limited areas or districts and to points reached by local railway trains. TRAIN LEAVES DEATH TRAIL. Three Men Killed in a Day at Various - Points on Road. Huntington, W.
