Those who are opposed to the com- mittee’s report will propose as a means of avoiding a rupture within the party an amendment to the draft striking out the paragraph in the Viborg mani- festo advocating the application of the principle of passive resistance, partic- ularly in regard to urging recruits not to join the colors and proposing the non-payment of taxes, which sugges- tions are declared to be i@practicable, while retaining the paragraphs en- dorsing the action of the members of the outlawed parliament who signed the Viborg manifesto, T'§f conserva- tives, headed by Peter Struve, editor of the Duma: Leov Petrajitski, Con- stitutionai Democratic leader in the late parliament, and M.

DOWIE HAS A Receives a Command to Abandon Plan for Mexican Colony. Chicago, Oct. 9.—John Alexander Dowie’s plan for a Mexican colony was abandoned in obedience to a com- mand received by Dowie in a vision that came to him last Friday night, according to an announcement made by Deacon Arrington, one of Dowie’s followers, who has remained loyal to the deposed prophet. The scheme, Deacon Arrington said, was relin- Quished in favor of another that con- templates the raising of $1,000,000 in Chicago for the purpose of restoring Dowie’s power and prestige. All preparations for Dowie's departure for Mexico had been completed when in a vision the “First Apostle” declared he saw the Master. He was commanded, he said, to give up the Mexican project and seek the glory of Zion elsewhere. TO ASSIST IN CAMPAIGN. DISARMAMENT OF REBEL AND VOLUNTEER FORCES PRAC- TICALLY COMPLETE. SLIGHT DISTURBANCES ARE REPORTED TROUBLE AT TWO POINTS DUE TQ EXUBERANCE OF THE LIBERAL FACTION. Havana, Oct. 9.—The reports re- celved by the provisional government show that the pacification of Cuba is praciically complete, with the excep- tion of the province of Santa Clara, where matters are rapidly nearing a settlement. The only trouble known to exist is at Alquizar, province of Havana, where the Liberals and Mod- erates are about equally divided, and irritation has been caused by the rein- statement of a Liberal mayor., The disquieting condition at Alquizar, how- ever, has been caused by the exuber- ance of the more reckless of the dis- ®anded insurgents and it is believed that the thirty rural guards there will be able to keep the peace. The dis- turbance at Guines has been sup- pressed. The disorderly former in- surgents left the town and the marines sent there report that the Liberals’ celebration of their victory passed off without any further disorder. None of the men cut with machetes was serfously injured. A closer examination of the rifies surrendered by the insurgents shows that very few of them are fit for any- thing but the scrap heap. Governor Taft and Assistant Secre- tary of State Bacon took up thefr resi- dence at the palace during the day. Mr. Taft was busily engaged with ex- amining the reports of the heads of departments on the first week's work under the provisional government. “VISION.” WANTS AMERICAN CONTROL. Good Government League of Cuba Is Organized. Havana, Oct. 9.—The prellm!nar{es of an organlz&tlon to be called the Good Government league of Cuba were begun at a meeting of Amer- icans, Cubans and others, at which resolutions were passed to the effect that the purpose of the association should be the “promoting by all legit- Imate means the establishment and maintenance of a permanent, stable and lawful government, competent to administer justice, insure domestic tranquillity, promote the general wel- fare and insure the blessings of lib- erty to all the inhabitants of the isl- and.” It was declared that the league in- tends to adopt whatever means to this end are deemed wisest by a majority of the membership, which is Intended to be representative of all nationali- ties and all sectlons and not to be committed to any line of action un- less it is decided what is most con- ducive to the objects named. While there was no expression to that effect the movement is generally regarded ,as pointing eventually to- ward some more definite degree of American control or oversight in Cu- ban affairs than is vouchsafed by the Platt amendment. Cabinet Members Scheduled for Num- ber of Speeches. ‘Washington, Oct. 9.—Secretary Root is to make a campaign speech in Car- negie hall, New York ecity, Oct. 22.

SITUATION CLEARED UP, Disarmament in Santa Clara Province Proceeding Quletly, Casilda, Province of Santa Clara, Cuba, Oct. 9.—The situation here, which was critical on account of the government volunteers within the town refusing to deliver up their rifies and also in view of the fact that insur- gents were numerous between Casilda and Trinidad, four miles from this town, has been cleared up by the vig- orous work and diplomacy of the dis- armament commissioners, assisted by General Jose Miguel Gomez. The dis- arming of the insurgents is now pro- ceeding quietly. VERY LITTLE DAMAGE DONE. Cuban Rebellion the Cheapest in West Indian History, New York, Oct. 9.—Advices received here from Havana state that amaz- ingly little damage occurred as a re- sult of the insurrection in Havana province, where much of the fighting was done.

Dowell, city editor of the Minneapolis Tribune, was shot and killed by John P. Quirk, a retired saloonkeeper, in front of whose home the shooting took place. The shooting was the result of a long standing quarrel between the two over the attentions paid by Dowell, who was forty-nine years of age, to Quirk's stepdaughter, Bessie Squires, press agent of the. Unique . theater, who is & comely young woman of twenty-three. Dowell, who had formerly been a boarder in the Quirk household, and Miss Squires, who has not been living at the Quirk home recently, called there to see the-girl’s mother. Quirk indignantly demanded by whose invitation Dowell visited the house, which he had been forbidden to enter, and Miss Squires answered that it was by her invitation and to prevent trouble persuaded Dowell to accompany her away, Quirk followed the couple to the street, still berating Dowell for his conduct, and in an altercation at the sidewalk fired a revolver at Dowell's head and burfed the bullet in his temple. Dowell fell to the sidewalk uncon- scious and died two hours later at the city hospital, where he was hurried after the crime. Quirk told Chief of Police Doyle -| and County Attorney Al J. Smith that he shot in self-defense, Dowell having drawn a knife on him, and it is re- ported by the hospital authorities that an open penknife was found in Dowell's overcoat pocket when his clothing was searched. PUBLIC' FEELING AROUSED. New Jersey Physician on Trial for Al- leged Wife Murder. Toms River, N. J, Oct. 9.—Dr. Frank Brouwer, who until his arrest several months ago on a charge of wife murder, was a prominent practic- ing physician here, was placed on trial during the day for his life.

It was an- nounced at the opening of the trial that each side will call about forty witnesses, Public feeling has been aroused to a marked degree by what has come to be known throughout a large part of the state as “the Brouwer case,” and in some places, particularly in this county, the line between Dr. Brou- wer’s accusers and defenders has been sharply drawn. One outgrowth of this is a fund of $2,500, which has been contributed by the accused man’s friends to aid in meeting the costs of the defense. WATCHING FOR SMUGGLERS.

Mrs. Myers was lying on a lounge in her cell, having just finished her_noonday meal, when the reporter entered. She arose quickly and listened quietly gs he told her of the action' of the court. Absolutely no show of emotion was displayed by the prisoner, whose remarkable fortitude has been the wonder of all the jail officials who have had charge of her. “I am not very much surprised,” sald Mrs, Myers when the reporter finished. “The three judges in the criminal branch of the state supreme court are prejudiced against me. I am still confident that my attorney will be successful in galning a hear- ing before the United States supreme court and that I shall finally be grant- ed a new trial and be acquitted.” TILLMAN'S BLOODY VISION. Foresees Race Wars to Which Atlanta Affair Will Seem Small. Augusta, Ga., Oct. 9.—In a charac- teristic speech to 4,000 persons in this city Senator Tillman of South .Caro- lina declared that the South is on the verge of a race war. He was heartily cheered by his hearers. “Thers &re-somte people; Who. gay that a race problem settles itself,” the senator said, “but. I make the pre- diction that in less than ten years, I fear less than five, there will be an immense number of bleody race riots, North and South, beside which the Atlanta riot will pale into insignif- icance.” _ After considering every conceivable plan for the protection of white women against negro assailants he concluded that the only. effective one would be the establishment of a European sys- tem of passports, coupled with a large increase in oflicers of the law. ‘He referred to the roving class of negroes who pose as. workers at saw mills, on railroads, ete., but who are always of the most depraved charac- ter. He declared the only place for such negroes is among Northerners, whose scheme of reconstruction pro- duced them. He declared if all were shot like wild beasts the country would be better off. That being un- lawful when they were unable to pro- duce passports they should be placed on chain gangs until reformed or be made to leave the country. He declared that the white men of the South should go ahead and do what they believed was right regard- less “of all the Yankees between Cape Cod and hell.” NEAR MOUTH OF COLUMBIA. James J.

It is a class of fuel ad- mirably adapted to the use of fron manufacture, “Lack of fuel is not the difficulty with Minnesota.

In Mesopotamia the wild bashi bazouk wears a belt; in Yucatan the Indian wears a girdle of shark’s teeth; in Senegambia the shameless cannibal sports a gunny sack; In Atlantic City some years back the dudes used to wear sashes. But find a man who when he throws off his coat to begin his daily toll lays bare a pair of heavy sky blue galluses and you'll find 2 man who pays his way in the world, loves his wife, rears his chil- dren in the fear of the Lord and votes the straight ticket. The “gallus” is useful, it is graceful, and properly adorned with hand painted flowers and brass buckles it is beautiful. To be ashamed of it, to conceal it or to aban- don it for a somber leather belt is to fail In an essential of true manhood and fly in the face of fate.—Baltimore Sun. The Tnicorn. The unicorn was one of the fabled monsters of antiquity. It was, ing to a summary of the opi severzal of the old time writers, a beast about the size of a common horse, but with very short legs. The people of the middle ages believed in the existence of three kinds of unicorns—the magnifi- cent white unicorn, which had a purple face and blue eyes and a single horn a yard In length; the eglisserion, which resembled a gigantic deer and had a very sharp horn growing from the mid- dle of the forehead, and the monoceros, or common unicorn. The white uni- corn’s horn was of three different col- ors—white at the lower part, black as ebony in the middle and red at the point. Common unicorns were said to have had horns about eighteen inches in length, but so strong that they could easily kill an elephant. Clock Inscriptions. In former times it was the custom of clockmakers to inscribe on the dial plates of their clocks quaint verses, one of the most common being the fol- lowing: . I serve thee here with all my might To tell the hours by day, by night. Therefore example take by me To serve thy God as I serve thee. Another - favorite Inscription was “Tempus Fugit,” or “Time Flies,” and thereby hangs a tale. A well known English clockmaker who flourished to- ward the close of the last century, un being asked by a customer whether a certain clock was of home manufacture, replied: “Oh, certainly. Don’t you see the name, sir—Tummas Fugit? I often have his clocks through my hands.” The Circle Counts. “The oddest shaped county among the thousands which go to make up the separate divisions of the various states I8 Warren county, Tenn.
