SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM REPUBLICAN KETTLE; DEMOCRATIC POT. Duluth News-Tribune: The keep- ers of Goverhor Johnson’s conscience have found joy in charging that Mr. Jacobson is an ‘‘enemy ot Northern Minnesota” because he voted against senate file 211 in 1899, providing for the drainage of certain state lands. Mr. Jacobson did vote against it in the house. So did Governor (then Senator) Johnson in the senate. This same identical bill passed the senate by a vote of 36 to 8 and the journal of the senate on page 593 and the fol- lowing pages shows that Mr. John A. Johnson, now Democratic -candi- date for governor, was one of the eight who voted “no.” Itis a clear case of the pot calling the kettle black. Moreover, the Minneapolis Journal calls attention to the fact that Mr. Jacobson did support the only com- plete, adequate and comprehensive drainage measure that was proposed while he was in the legislature. Evi- dently the kettle changed its color. What became of the pot? CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] Twenty thousand dollars was paid yesterday for a collection of butterflies. Verily riches have wings. A Waukegan store has advertised for “girls who do not expect to marry soon.” Whatever can it want with babies? Since the time of Adam, we believe, no man has had so greata fall and escaped alive as those two American balloonists who dropped 4,000 feet in Berlin. Somehow “Li Sum” does not im- press us as a happy beginning for the name of even a Chinese news- paper editor. There’s one of that name in San Francisco. Let us hope that when all man- kind has learned to fly there will be no cutting across a neighbor’s grass plot simply because one is too lazy or indifferent to walk around. A Chicago woman declares that she loves the husband who beats her, but there never was a wife who could be happy with the husband that insists upon the last word. The New York Aero Club is about to teach women to fly. Prudent birds will at once shed the last of their gay plumage and save them- selves the trouble of being plucked in mid air The best one can wish for the Den- ver physician who inoculated himself with ten kinds of disease germs is that none of them will take any better than Mr. Bryan’s attempt to inoculate the people with his fifty-seven varieties of issues. CHICAGO CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD AGAIN Capture Fifth ame of Series With Detroit, Detroit, Oct.. 1;—It {is Chicago, champions of the world again, Chance’s Cubs clinched the greatest of all bage ball trophies by capturing the fifth game of the series at Bennett park 2 to 0. At that Detroit did better than last year, when they managed to tle one game but then lost four straight. This year they captured one game, also their total of runs was greater for the series. Chicago made 24 and Detroit 15 runs in the series. Detroit had no chance in the last game, for the Cubs hit Donovan and fielded perfectly, while Overall held the Tigers to three hits, one a scratch, He struck out ten men. Not more than 6,000 people paid to see the game despite perfect weather. FIRE IN PRUSSIAN MINE. Entombed Men Rescued, but Three Succumb Later. Koenigshuette, Prussia, Oct. 1.— Fire broke out in one of the galleries of the Koenigsbrube coal mine. One hundred men at the time were in one of the deep galleries and it was thought for a while that they would be lost. They managed, however, to make their escape through an adjoin- ing shaft. Twenty-three men in an- other gallery were brought out uncon- scious from suffocation. Twenty of these were revived, but three suc- cumbed. . TELEPOST NOW N OPERATION New Wire Service Begins Business in Boston. SPEED AND ECONOMY Thousand Words a Minute Transmit- ted by Delany System at Lowered Cost—Telegrams Delivered by Spe- Messengers and “Teleposts” Carried by Letter Carriers Features of Telepost Company’s Work, cial Boston, Oct. 1:.—The Telepost com- pany has inaugurated here its system of receiving and sending messages. The Delany method, controlled by the company, the newest and most rapid method of transmitting intelligence electrically, in conngction with the postoffice delivery sysfem, is now an actual fact in American life. With the transmission of the first Telepost message from Boston to Port- land, Me., handed to the Telepost op- erator here by Mayor Hibbard of this city, the Telepost was put into opera- tion between the two cities, the line including the following way stations: Lowell, Mass.; Lawrence, Mass.; Haverhill, Mass.; Exeter, N. H Portsmouth, N. H.; Dover, N. H.; Biddeford, Me.; Saco, Me., and Old Orchard, Me. In each of these cities there is now a Telepost office pre- pared to receive and transmit mes- sages. The Telepost transmits and receives messages at the rate of a thousand ‘words a minute, from twenty to forgy times as many as any other telegraph system now in operation. The Telepost utilizes tke full carrying capacity of the wire, while others get only 10 per cent. The Telepost company gathers mes- sages and sends them on its own lines. It delivers the message-itself by its own special delivery service, the messages then being called by the familiar name “telegram,” or it relies for delivery upon the well organized postoffice department run by Uncle Sam. In the latter case the message is known as a “Telepost.” The com- pany also receives messages through the postoffice department, for trans- mission to near or distant points— that is, 2 man lving in one of the cities named or within malling dis- tance of it may write out his telegram or his “Telepost,” drop it, addressed to his correspondent near or far, in care of the Telepost company. The latfer will attend to its prompt and. gpgedy transmission. The telephone may also be utilized by the Telepost patrons. In addition to telegrams of the new Btyle and Teleposts the innovation in the wire world includes the “tele- card,” which is to the telegram and the Telepost what the postal card Is to the letter. In other words, it is a shorter telegram transmitted at a lower rate. Uniform Rate of Transmission. The rates charged by the Telepost company are uniform whether the dis- tance traversed by the meesage is ten miles or a thousand—twenty-five words for 25 cents delivered by the Telepost messengers, or fifty words for 25 cents brought to your door by one of Uncle Sam’s gray coated men. The charge for the telecard is 10 cents for tem words semt to any place reached by the Telepost company’s lines. A speclal envelope of odd size and sttractive design makes it easler for the mail distributors to recognize and handle Teleposts. The telecard is also of special design in order to fa- cilitate postoffice handling. ‘While the service just inaugurated includes only the cities named above the Telepost company has already closed contracts to make rapid exten- sions from Boston in other directions. The scene in the Telepost offices at the opening of the new service was a most interesting one. The audience included, besides Mayor Hibbard, a large number of men prominent in the business and professional life of this city. The newspaper men who were present not only looked upon the put- ting to practical use of the invention of Patrick B. Delany as an interesting item of news, but as one that is ex- pected to affect vitally their own busi- ness of news gathering and publish- Ing. The Telepost company intends to establish at its offices in the vari- ous cities a bulletin service giving the most important news items of the day in skeleton form, referring the readers to the newspapers for details. The first message transmitted over the Telepost lines was that of Mayor Hib- bard to the mayor of Portland, Me., congratulating the latter upon the in- auguration of the neW system. The first Telepost message will be pre- served as an interesting memento of the oecasion. Among those present were Patrick B. Delany, the inventor of the system; H. Lee Sellers, the resident of the company; R.-H. Sel- ers, its secretary and treasurer, and J. W. Larish, its electrical engineer. The various operations of the Tele- post, such as the perfecting type, the transmission” of messages, handling the recelving tape, etc., were fully ex- plained and aroused the highest inter- ont. The Telepost system has won the highest commendations from expert guthorities in electricity. Thomas A. Bdison, with whom Mr. Delany worked years ago, said of it, “The system in {ts entirety is so simple that it is pex tectly ‘teol proof.’” WOMEN GO TO PRISON. Suffragists Prefer Jail " » Peace Bonds. London, Oct. 1!.—A great crowd surrounded the Bow street police eourt when the women suffragists and the men without work who were ar- rested during the disorders in front of the houses of parliament were ar- raigned. In the throng there wers to Signing many women wearing badges with the Wwords “Votes for women.” The three leaders of _the militant _guffragists, M8 Drumiiénd, hirs: Pankhurst &nd Miss_ CilsiaBel Pankhurst, démasfided a tri: ¥ jury.

Miss Pankhurst acted as attorney for Mrs. Drummond' and Mrs. Pank- hurst and her cross-examinatibn of Superintendent Wells furnished much amusement for the spectators. Most of the other prisoners were ordered -to give bonds for their good behavior, with the alternative of imprisonment for from one to two months. As on previous occasions the women elected to go to jail. When one of them was offered .her freedom on her personal recognizance she said to the presiding magistrate: “You won’t get any of my money. I will go to prison. Down with Asquith.” "Another declared that she had not obstructed the police, far obstructed her. DR. GILMAN DEAD. Former President of Johns Hopkins University.

She will be taken {o the Superior drydock. HOPES FOR PEACE WITH ALL NATIONS Imperial Rescript Outfines Ja- pan’s Policy. Tokio, Oct. 1.—The Official Gazette i publishes an imperial rescript, coun- tersigned by Premier which. the emperor says: “The East and the West are depend- ent upon one another for the promo- tion of their mutual welfare and on this account we should endeavor to cultivate the friendship of other na- tions. At the same time it is highly important in these postbellum days that we should be united with other ¢ountries in advancing the industries. In this we shall be acting in accord- ance with the sacred traditions of our forefathers and our glorious national history.” The imperial rescript, which was intended to be addressed to the for- elgn powers as well as to the people of Japan, became public property he- cause of an address made by Premier Katsura before the prefectural gov- ernors assembled in this city. The premier outlined the government’s economic policy and emphasized its determination to reduce unproductive expenditures. He roquested the as- sembled governors to co-operate by the practice of every possible econ- omy and by basing their plans for ex- penditures only upon actual receipts. The confidence which had been some- what shaken by unwise and reckless finance, he said, could easily be re- stored by practical illustrations of a determination in the future to follow the paths of peaceful developments and the cultivation of the friendliest relations with all countries. Speaking as premier Marquis Kat- sura spoke at some length upon the rescript, which, he said, must be con- tidered a d2finite command from the emperor for the people of Japan to demonstrate their intention of follow- Ing closely every form of economy and take a position before the world as a peaceful and conservative people.

BIG FOREIGN LOAN NEEDED Estimated That Independence, if Ap- proved by the Powers, Will Entail an Expenditure of Not Less Than $24,000,000—Germany and Austria Urging Settlement of Dispute Over the Eastern Roumelian Railway. Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 1,—The Ger- man and Austro-Hungarian diplomatic agents in Sofia have made oral rep- resentations to Foreign Minister Pop- rikoff asking Bulgaria to settle the dispute’ over the Oriental railroad in Vastern Roumelia and indemnify the stockholders of the railroad company before the question of the recognition of the independence of Bulgaria can be discussed. The government is will- ing to accede to this request in so far as the utilization of the line is con: cerned, but it will demur to the paying of parallel claims for property rights In this railroad to both Turkey and the stockholders. Diplomatists in Scfia are of the opinion that the troubles and embar- rassments of Bulgaria have only be- gun. Thay anticipate the government will be obliged to breast a strong re- ection on the part of the public when payment of the heavy expenses in- curred in securiog a crown and the title of emperor for Prince Ferdinand Is put up to the tight fisted Bulgarian pegsantry. It is costing a good deal of money to kecp the reserves with the colors and among the compensa- tions due Turkey is the funded Rou- melian debt, upon which Bulgaria in the past has paid $600,000 a year. It Is estimated that Bulgaria will need a foreign loan of not less than $24,000,- 000 to meet these demands. ANGLO-RUSSIAN AGREEMENT Outline of Programme for tional Conference.
