POSTOFFIGE RULINGS THAT SHOULD BE READ Written Messages in Packages of Mer- chandise Forbidden By a Recent Ruling. Relative to some postal regulations which the public should know, Postmaster Carson says: ““The postal laws prohibit placing written messages in merchandise packages or letters on which less than 2 cents an ounce has been paid, and the provisions of this statute admit of no waiver of the penalty provided. “During the last fiscal year, post- office inspectors Ccollected $59,065 for such violations. In thousands of cases a short note or memorandum was placed inside a package of merchandise on which postage was paid at 1 cent an ounce, while the written matter made it neces- sary that 2 cents an ounce should have been paid. “Finding that in a great number of cases the offense was due to ignorance of the law, and that the collection of the fine usually works a hardship to the very poor,especially where written messages are made in returning coupons, tags and certifi- cates for premiums. Postmaster General Meyer has directed that proper notices be placed in post- offices warning the public against the practice.” A new ruling, whereby ten cents’ worth of common two-cent stamps are sufficient for a special delivery, Mr. Carson quotes the most recent rulings as follows: “That from and after July first, nineteen hundred and seven, when in addition to the stamps required to transact any letter or package of mail matter through the mails there shall be attached to the envelope or covering ten cents’worth of ordinary stamps of any denomination, with the words ‘special delivery’ or their equivalent written or printed on the envelope or covering, under such regulations as the Postmaster Gen- eral may prescribe, the said package shall be handled, transmitted and delivered in all respects as though it bore a regulation ‘special delivery’ stamp.” Two Committed From Koochiching. Thomas Bailey,deputy sheriff of Koochiching county, came down this morning from International Falls. He had in custody two pris- oners, who had been committed to the Beltrami county jail, the official prison for Koochiching county. Ed. Douglass,one of the prisoners, had been sentenced to serve thirty days, for having robbed a party who was bathing at Internc} tional Falls, Douglass going through the bather’s clothes and securing the money. ‘The other prisoner was Andrew Fors, who was held to await the action of the grand jury on the charge of having stolen a watch from a drunken man, while the latter was lying asleep at International Falls last Sunday morning.

The amount of business being done in the Bemidji yards of the M. & 1. railway has increased very materially of late. So large is the amount of business at the present time that it has been necessary to puton a day switching crew, in addition to the regular crew that is working in the yards at night. Work on the yards in South Be- midji has been increased consider- ably, also, by the building of 1,000 feet of new sidetracks adjoining the property of the Bemidji Lumber company, for use in handling the shipping when the company starts to manufacture lumber. W. H. Roberts Buried. The funeral services of the late W. H. Roberts were held at the Roberts home, 609 Lake Boulevard, this afternoon, at 2 o’clock, and were attended by a large number of the relatives and friends of the family and citizens generally. The services were held under the auspices of Bemidji Lodge, No. 233, A.F. & A. M., and the beautiful service of that order was read. The body was interred in Green- wood cemetery, and the cortege that followed the remains to their last resting place was a large one. A fuller account of the funeral will be given tomorrow.

FEARS TROUBLE ON RANGES Sheriff Bates Sends One Hundred Dep- uties to Hibbing to Be Held in Read- iness to Answer Calls From Any of the Affected Towns. Duluth, Aug. 2.—Quiet reigns in both the range towns and Duluth and work has been resumed, but in the background there lurks the black shadow of possible trouble from the inore desperate strikers. At the ore docks in Oneota 246 men were at work loading nine big lake freighters with ore. The Duluth, Mis- sabe and Northern road has between 200,000 and 250,000 tons of ore in cars st the Head of the Lakes. Some of this is at Proctor and some was al- ready on the docks ready to dump into the vessels. This is sufficlent to last the company two or three days and the supplies are being constantly add- ed to by shipments from the range. All is quiet and peaceable in Duluth and there i3 mo hint or prospect of any violence. But on the range things are different. Sheriff Bates hurried up to Hibbing on a special and later he stated that he regarded the situa- tion as critical. He was unable to get any citizen deputies and sent for 100 deputies from Proctor, who were in readiness for use on the docks at Duluth. They were rushed up on & special and arrived at Hibbing at 11 o'clock. They were taken to the Mun- roe Tenner mine, where headquarters will be established. They will be kept there in readiness and can be sent out on a special train at any moment to any point on the range. The sheriff will have charge of them and will dis- tribute them where he thinks they are most needed. Thomas F. Cole, president of the Oliver Mining company, and Pente- cost Mitchell, superintendent of the company, have arrived at Hibbing. The company is operating heavily in both the Hibbing and Eveleth dis- tricts. At Eveleth more than 800 men are working at shafts 2, 4 and 6 of the Adams and Spruce mine and at the Fayal open pit ore 1s belng taken out. The Drake & Btratton company is also atripf!ns there. In the Hibbing district the follow- ing mines are being operated: Hull- Rust, Glen, Clark, Chisholm, Munroe Tenner, Myers and McKinley. Strip- ping is also being done at the Hartley, Bellers, Hull-Rust and Morris, The ore from these mines {8 being shipped to Duluth and Two Harbors. T. D. O'Brien, former state insur- ance commissioner, and Harvey Grim- mer, Governor Johnson's executive olerk, are at Hibbing. They were sent by the governor as his personal rep- resentatives to watch developments. IN SPITE OF THE STRIKE Ore Shipments From Head of Lakes Ahead of Last Year, Duluth, Aug. 2.—Notwithstanding the fact that over a half month’s time was lost on account of the ore han- dlers’ strike on the Missabe docks and nearly as much on the docks at Two Harbors and Allouez the ore ship- ments from the Head of the Lakes are still considerably ahead of those last year. Up to<date the total for the year at the Missabe dock is 5,151,365, as against 4,082,331 tons for 1906, At Two Harbors the total is 8,481,923, as against 8,859,044 for last year at this time, a slight decrease. At the Al- louez the total is 8,069,827, as com- pared with 2,641,686 tons last year. An attempt will be made by the officlals of all docks to break all records dur- ing August to make up for lost time. It is sald, however; that the steel officials are not particularly anxious that the mines should be worked to a record capacity and if they keep run- ning with moderate crews they will be satisfled. The cause of thig is sald to be a falling off in future business. AWAITS OFFICIAL REPORT. Governor Johnson Will Not Order Troops to the Range. 8t. Paul, Aug. 2.—Pending the re- ceipt of reports from a commission of three men sent North hurriedly troops will not be sent to the strike infected districts on the iron range by Gov- ernor Johnson unless something serl- ous warrants such actlon immediately. Following a lengthy conference in the executlve chambers, at which Frank B. Kellogg, attorney for the United States Steel corporation, was present; former Insurance Commis- sloner O’Brien, Harvey Grimmer, ex- ecutive clerk, and C. H. Day, a nephew of Frank A. Day, Governor Johnson’s private secretary, were ordered to pro- ceed to the range and report on condl- tions without delay. In addition they were Instructed to confer with the strike leaders and the peace officers in the strike infected districts and tounsel moderation if possible. Work Resumed at Allouez Docks. Superfor, Wis.,, Aug. 2.—The Al- louez ore docks resumed work with sufficient crews to begin loading boats. As a result the road is putting its traln crews on again. Two thou- sand cars of ore are standing in the yards back of Allouez and these will be moved down as fast as the docks nre cleared. SENATOR FROM ALABAMA. wil Johnston Succeed Pettus. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 2.—Joseph F. Johnston was nominated in joint raucus of the Democrats of the two houses, composing all but two of the entire membership of the legislature, doseph F. JOBEPH F. JOHNSTON. to succeed Senator Pettus in the Unit- ed States senate, his time to run to 1915, There was no opposition. Mr. Johnston was twice governor of the state and ran against the late Senator Morgan for the senate one time. FIGHT OCCURS AT SEOUL Precipitated by Japanese Dis- arming Korean Troops. Waghington, Aug. 2.—A dispatch recelyed at the state department from Consul Geperal Thomas Sammons at Seoul says that forty Koreans were killed or wounded in a fight precipi- tated by the disarmament of the Ko- rean army. The casualties on the Japanese side, the dispatch adds, were slight. . No details of the disarmament of the Koreans and of the trouble which resulted from it have been recelved at the Japanese embassy in this city. Affairs in Korea, not haylng a direct bearing on the United States, the for- eign office is not keeping the embassy here informed of what is going on there every day. Seoul, Korea, Aug. 2.—Japanese troops surrounded the Korean bar- racks after an imperial proclamation had been issued disbanding the Ko- rean army composed of 7,000 men. Several hundred Koreans gathered at the Great Bell during a thunder storm and were dispersed by a com- pany of Japanese soldiers. The out- lets from the Korean army barracks are guarded by machine guns. The proclamation disbanding the troops says that the disbanded sol- diers will be granted one year’s pay. The emperor's bodyguard will not be disbanded. SAYS KOREANS WILL FIGHT Prince Tyjong Oul Yi Arrives at New York From The Hague. “New York, Aug, 3—Prince Tyjong Out Yi, who, with Y1 Sang Sul, reached here during the day from The Hague, where they, as Korea's delegates, sought vainly to lay before the na- tions the plight of Korea, was deeply affected when shown a dispatch from Washington that forty Korean sol- dlers had been killed or wounded while resisting an attempt of the Japa- nese to disarm the Korean army. “The death of those soldiers,” de- clared Prince Yi, feelingly, *“marks the baptism in blood of Korea's final efforts to throw off Japan's domina- tion. The Korean army will resist Japan’s disarmament steps to the last and Koreans, responding to a great national sentiment, will rise up and fight for her liberty,” Fighting in New Hebrides. Victorla, B. C., Aug. 2.—The steamer Manuka, which has reached here from Australia, brought news-of fighting in the New Hebrides. In an encounter between the Hebrides blacks and a punitive expedition landed from the British crulser Cambrian to avenge the murder of a European trader the blacks killed one bluejacket of the landing party and one was wounded. JLL BUSINESS CEASES SERIOUS DISORDERS OCCUR Troops and Workmen Clash and Thirty Persons Are Killed or Wounded in One Encounter _Alone—Numerous “Arrests Cause of Outbreak. Lodz, Russian Poland, Aug. 2.—This clty s again the scene of a strike movement accompanied by violence, disorders and death. The troops have encountered the strikers in the center of the town and some thirty men have been killed or wounded in this fight alone. Business is at a standstill. The strike would appear to be the beginning of a big labor war and the workmen’s unions are prepared for a long struggle. The immediate cause of the outbreak was the course pur- sued by the police during the past eight days in haking a large number of arrests in attempts to break up the unions. A general strike has been declared and the Social-Democrats and the Polish socialists have called out 32,000 men. The Nationalists have been forced to join the committee of the amalgamated unions. The committee has ordered that all business in Lodz ceasé. Stores have been told to close and the powerhouse of the electric traction system has been shut down. The committee Is enforeing its orders with armed men and several shop- keepers who refused to shut up have been shot. Bands of laborers were sent out in the city to wreck the street cars. This they did in a number of cases and later they used the cars as barricades from which to stone the police. Dur- Ing the calling out of the strikers one factory foreman and two shopkeepers were killed and two laborers were mortally wounded. PATIENTS REMOVED SAFELY Fire Threatens Destruction of Pitts. burg’s Insane Asylum. Pittsburg, Aug. 2.—Fire at Marshal- sea, Pittsburg’s city poor farm, for several hours threatened destruction to all the buildings on the grounds; but was confined to the buildings used as the laundry, bakeshop, inmates’ kitchen and chapel. These structures were nearly destroyed with a loss of $50,000. ‘While the fire was in progress six of the employes who were fighting the flames were caught under a falling wall. Samuel Means was crushed to death and W. H. Larkin was so seri- ously- injured that his recovery is doubtful. The others were not dan- gerously hurt. The fire was caused by the explosion of a water heater. Nearly 500 insane inmates were housed. in the main building which adjoined the laundry, but they were all removed to the cottages on the out- skirts of the grounds without trouble, DIES IN SWIMMING POOL. Philadelphia Bank President dentally Killed. _Philadelphia, Aug. 2—Edmund R. Watson, president of the Northern National bank and treasurer of the Henry Hess Brewing company of this city, met death in the swimming pool of the Columbia club, one of the lead- ing social organizations of the city. Mr. Watson’s death was accidental. He was standing on the springboard and was about to dive Into the pool when he slipped and fell. His head struck the concrete coping of the pool and he sank to the bottom. The jan- ftor was summoned and with the aid of a long pole Mr. Watson was taken from the water in an unconscious con- dition. He was hurrledly taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead by the physicians. Mr. Watson was about fifty years of age. Acci- ACTION WAS NECESSARY. - Secretary Birrell Defends Sending of Troops to Belfast, London, Aug. 2.—Defending the ac- tion of the government in rushing 7,000 troops to Belfast for strike duty Chief Secretary for Ireland Birrell de- clared in the house of commons that the mutinous action of a portion of the constabulary and the continuation of the strike necessitated prompt and broad measures. The soldiers had been sent in response to the require- ments of the civil authorities, who re- main in command of the situation, so that it was quite incorrect to suggest that Belfast was under military rule. Mr. Birrell added there was good rea- son to believe that the strike would soon come to an end. CARS ROLL INTO DITCH. Soo Traln Jumps Track but sengers Are Hurt. Minot, N, D., Aug. 2.—So00 train No. 101 jumped the track four miles east of here, caused by the tender break- ing the connection.. The engine re- mained upright, but the combination baggage, express and mail cars and the smoker lcit the track and rolled into the ¢’ The baggageman was slightly hurt, hut none of the passen- gers were even bruised. The track was torn up for a considerable dis- tance and it was necessary to build a spur around the sceme. This is the new fast train recently put on. MINERS MAY GO ON STRIKE Accuse Coal Company of Repeatedly Violating Agreement, Pittsburg, Aug. 2—The situation be- tween 14,000 miners In the Pittsburg district and the Pittsburg Coal com- pany has reached a critical stage and within twenty-four hours, it {s thought, # big strike will be in progress. _According to the statements {ssued by the miners’ officials and the gen- eral manager of the Pittsburg Coal company the trouble has arrived at a o Pas. point where one side will be compelled = EREt LS to make overtures within a few hours to prevent a strike, President Francls Feehan of the Miners' union has announced that the miners are tired of the attitude as- sumed by the Pittsburg Coal company regarding the eomplaints of the men that the wage agreement is being re- peatedly violated by the company. In the event that some proposition is not recelved by the union at once it fs said an order for a general strike will be issued. On the other hand the coal company gays that complaints said to exist by the miners are not known to them. They allege that the union officials have made no efforts to show themn where they have violated the agree- ment. It has been intimated that the min- ers will strike a serious blow to the stability of thelr own organization by declaring a strike and this intimation is taken to mean that both sides are preparing to fight the matter to a fin- ish.

Secretary Taft will not complete his speaking tour until Sept. 10, when he will sail from Seattle on the steamer Minnesota for Manila. Strauss in Honolulu, Honolulu, Aug. 2.—Oscar -Strauss, secretary of commerce and labor, ar- rived here from San Francsico on the steamer Siberia.
