Washington, Nov. 28—The case against re Joseph Ralph Burton , Lake Superior Lashed Into Fury by will be carried to the highest court of a Prolonged 60 Mile Gale of the land, and will be prosecuted with Wind and Snow. all the vigor, force and effect of all the legal talent the government can muster. This is the word which has been passed out to St. Louis by the administration. Having definitely determined upen the second prosecution of Senator Burton, the administration, believing that it has been warranted in going thus far, is determined that the highest courts of the land shall be reached in the ef- fort to punish the Kansas senator for his alleged misdeeds. There is no effort to deny that the strongest sort of influence has been brought to bear both upon the presi- dent and department of justice, with a view to bringing the prosecution of the senator to an end and letting him suf- fer from the effect of what has already been his lot in connection with the case against him. The administration has even been importuned by some of his associates in the United States senate, who formerly believed that the case should be pushed to the utter- most, but who now take the view that he has been “punished enough.” The attorney general has gone over the case with the president. The con- clusion was that the ends of justice could only be served by the second trial in St. Louls, It was the conclu: sion that the senator would get a fair and impartial trial by 12 of his peers. The result could not be foreseen by the government any more than it could by the defense, It was held that Burton had every reasonable doubt in his fav- or and the best of legal talent to defend him. Now, that the jury has found him guilty, the administration believes that the case should go to the court of last resort and its mandate, what- ever that proves to be, should be bind. ing and final. SEVERAL STEAMERS REPORTED ASHORE and Business in Superior, Wis., at a Complete Standstili—Hlizzard Said to be the Worst Since 1872—Steel Freighter on the Rocks at Daluth—Lake Huron is Also Storm Swept. Superior, Wis., Nov. 28.—A furious wind and snow storm, starting Monday night, is battering this city Tuesday. There is no sign of abatement. A 60- mile gale, continuing for hours, has lashed Lake Superior into a fury and grave fears are felt for lake going craft and their crews. A damp snow accompanies the gale and drifts from four to six feet high. The street car lines are stalled, all but the sturdiest are confined within doors and business is at a standstill. Railroad trains are far behind their schedules and snow plows have been sent out from division points, The blizzard is said to be the worst since 1872, although the tempera. ture is only slightly below the freez- ing point. A sharp drop, however, is predicted for Tuesday night. The power house switch boards have burned out. The telephone system has ceased to operate, making it impossible at present to secure news of the lake districts from the tug and shipping of- fices. A report from Two Harbors is to the effect that a steamer in distress has been blowing signals since two o'clock Tuesday morning. Owing to the snow flurries on the lake it is im- possible to ascertain what craft it is, The steel freighter Crescent City of the Pittsburg Steamship company fleet is stranded on the north shore of Lake Superior, a total wreck, She was driven on the rocks within the limits of the city of Duluth at two o'clock Monday morning. All the members of the crew and captain are safe. The Crescent City was coming up the lake light, driven by a 70 mfle an hour gale from the northeast. At Lakewood, near the entrance to the Duluth Su- perior Harbor, it was seen that the en- gines were powerless to keep the gale_from—driving—lrer—on—the—roeks — Anchors were thrown, but they were of no available use and the ship went bow-on at a rocky point of the shore, The wind quickly drove the stern around so that the ship lay broadside to shore and the stern was so close that Capt. Frank Rice and his crew threw a ladder to the beach and walked off im safety, abandoning the ship to her fate. She will be a total Aoss. In the immediate vicinity of Superior and Duluth and for a distance of 25 miles up Lake Superior the disaster to the Crescent City now appears to have been the only such misfortune suffered by shipping so far as at pres- ent known as a result of Monday night and Tuesday's gale. Lake seamen, however, believe that there have been many wrecks at other pofnts, dlaiming that no ship could come un- harmed out of such a storm, SEIZED THE CUSTOM HOUSE Detachment from the Allied Fleet Land at Mitylene to Eoforce Their De- mands on Turkey. Constantinople, Nov. 28.—Detach- ments from the International fleet landed at Mitylene Sunday afernoon in accordance with the instructions of Rear Admiral Ritter von Jedina and occupied the customs postal buildings The governor protested but his repre- sentations were not availing. During the Bairam festival, beginning Tues- day and ending the evening of Novem ber 30 the fleet will take no further action, but if the sultan does not util- ize the interval to accede to the de- mandg of the powers the fleet will oc cupy the island of Tenedos, off the coast of Asia Minor. The Porte continues its efforts to ob tain a modification of the financial control scheme so as to make it more acceptable to Turkish views. The Grand Vizdéer, Ferid Pasha, the report of whose dismissal was unfounded, has informed M, Zinieoiff, the Russian am bassador, that the echeme in its pres- ent shape is too unpalatable. The Grand Vizier offered to agree to the establishment of four new civil agents of Austria and Russia but the ambas- sador declared that no alteration in the demands of the powers was possl- ble. Tewfik Pasha, the foreign minis ter, algo tried to enlist the sympathies of the German and Italian ambassadors but his efforts were equally futile. Tha unanimity of the powers including Ger many as to the necessity for compell ing a full acceptance of the demands appears to be complete and diplomatic circles are satisfied that the Porte be- fore long will realize that in face of this unanimity there is nothing to be done but bow to the will of Burope. : | , Detroit, Mich., Nov. 28—A Journal special from Alpena, Mich., says that a 48-mile-an-hour gale is sweeping over the upper end of Lake Huron and reports several accidents to shipping. The barge Harvey Bissell, which was { tied up to an outer dock has been broken to pieces by the storm. The barge j Vinland, coal-laden, broke away from y her tow barge and is aground off Al- pena.

Doenae directing him to give testi- mony-in-the-suit-brought by the state of Missouri against the Standard Oi! company. The testimony will be taken by commission in this city December 4. The subpoenae was served on Mr. Rogers while he was in an automo- bile cab, by a process-server who threw ‘the order through the cab window and with it the statutory wit- ness fee, Milwaukee, Nov. 28.—The steamer Appomattox which went ashore north of this city several weeks ago, was broken into three pieces by Monday nights storm on Lake Michigan. The waves are reported by local marine men to have been the highest in many years, The lighthouse at the end of the government breakwater wag dis- mantled by the heavy seas and the keeper nearly ‘ost his life, being res- cued only after two hours hard work by the life saving crew. A special from Port Washington. Wis., says: “A big steamer is ashore about four miles off this port. A heavy sea is running and the vessel appears to be im danger.” The life saving crew from Milwaukee and a tug have gone to asist the stranded vessel. Earthqaake at San Franciaco, San Francisco, Nov. 28.—At 11:25 o'clock Tuesday a slight but sharp earthquake shock was felt in this city, followed a moment later by another apparently coming from an opposite direction. This peculiar feature is said by Chief McAdie of the weather bureau to be an apparent indication of reflex action. a Goverament Balidings Warned.
