Pa ENTS EE 82 Has it occurred to you that that $40,000,000 is just about half a dollar apiece for each of us? If popular songs are a remedy for insanity, the theory that “like cures like” may be considered established. It is not true that Mr. Kipling is now writing another poem about Adam-Zad, the bear that runs like a deer. Brazil is so pleased with the sample battles put up by Peru that it is send- ing out troops to fight a few more of them. No word has ben heard from the perfect wife in Pennsylvania as to whether or not she has that kind of a husband. The New Jersey judge who has de tided that boys are worth twice as much as girls ought to see some of the girls we know. Boston reads that the Russians at Mukden are living entirely on beans, and believes that war is not so bad as it has been painted. “Smoke,” says the Scientific Ameri- tan, “means simply wasted fuel,” but he man enjoying the luxury of a good cigar knows better. It would be like the beef trust to explain that the worry and expense of being investigated will necessitate another increase of prices. London has a hospital’ where wom- en are trained as nurses for dogs. This is throwing physic to the dogs literally as well as figuratively. a I ae The supreme court has decided that a man has the right to keep his moth- er-in-law out of his house. But how many men will dare to exercise their right? If some enterprising man could get the monopoly of furnishing chewing gum to baseball players, it seems as if he would be right on the road to wealth. It looks as though the discovery and publication of Herbert Spencer’s letters were going to become quite as flourishing as the printing of letters of Carlyle. The noble marquis who recently became a father at the age of 81 is dead. He was probably unable to stand the strain put upon him by his heir at night. A farmer in Oregon township, Lu- cas county, returned for taxation every cent’s worth of property he had. He got enormous headlines in the Toledo papers. Miss Lottie Dodd is now woman golf champion of England. From Rhona Adair to Lottie Dod is quite a slump, euphonically; but here’s luck to Lottie, anyway! Clara Morris is talking a good deal now about the joys of old age as she finds them in her experience—a good deal more, we fancy, than she will when she is really old. Wedded sixty-seven years, an aged husband and wife of Bennington, Yt., died on the same day and were buried together. Not even Robert G, Inger- soll could see a mistake there. A crank journeyed to Miss Helen M. Gould’s home to marry her. He was arrested, not for his commenda- ble intentions, but for not realizing the obstacles that were to be over- come. King Peter of Servia is preparing to have himself crowned June 15. He will do well to have a high fence built around the place where the crowning is done, with a trusty man at the gate. The government experts say that the number of radio-active minerals is much larger than is generally sup- posed. There’s the silver dollar, for instance. It displays great activity in getting away. That Pennsylvania man who hunted two years before finding a woman who came up to his ideals might have hard work to show that he came up to the ideals of all the ladies whom he failed to approve. Susan B. Anthony recently testified in a will case that married women know nothing about handling money. Miss Anthony evidently doesn’t be- lieve all these stories about women and the trousers pockets. A London doctor has figured it out that tall homes, such as apartment houses, have caused a reduction in the size of the heads of children and made them less intelligent. This does not strike ope as a ground-floor opin- ion. Probably the young woman of Brad- dock, Pa., who dislocated her elbow trying to button her shirtwaists, suf- fers more from the notoriety than from the accident itself. The accounts agree that she was going to wear a shirtwaist to a reception. PORT ARTHUR DETERMINED EFFORT TO BAG BIG GAME IS REPORTED FROM CHEFU. ATTACK BY LAND AND BY SEA RUSSIAN WARSHIPS SAIL OUT TO GIVE BATTLE TO THE ENEMY. | ALEXIEFF 1S TURNED BOWN CZAR NICHOLAS PREFERS GE°). KUROPATKIN’S PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. Chefu, June 8.—Preceeing a sea at- ‘tack on Port Arthur last night the Japanese apparently made a deter- mined effort to advance on that stronghold by land. A Chinese junk which left a point three miles north of Port Dalny carly Monday morning reports having heard firing north of Port Arthur from 7 o'clock Monday morning until 2 o’clock that afternoon, by which time she passed out of hearing distance. It would appear that the Japanese planned a land and sea attack on Port Arthur yesterday. The Russians, on seeing this, sent their fleet out to give pattle. The result is not known. Naval Battle in Gulf of Pechili. An impression prevails here that a naval battle took place Monday night in the Gulf of Pechili. Passengers on steamers passing the Liaotieshan promontory at the time did not hear any firing, while reports come from Teng-chow of heavy firing being heard there from 11 o’clock Monday night until 2 o’clock yesterday morning. Vessels from the. Miao-tao islands confirm this report and so do the res- idents of hills in the vicinity of this city, who heard the firing and saw flashes out at sea during the night. The fact that the Russians were en- deavoring on June 4 to clear the road- steads off Port Arthur of mines indi- cates an intention upon their part to give battle outside the harbor upon the first favorable opportunity. A Japanese correspondent return- ing from Talienwan says there is a persistent rumor there that the Jap- anese battleship Yashima struck a mine off that port recently and was sunk. Chinese arrivals from Talien- wan are unable to confirm the story. Firing for Several Days. A fleet of junks which has arrived from Dalny for the purpose of buying stores for the Japanese, report having heard continuous firing between Dalny and Port Arthur for several days. Japanese warships are making Dalny headquarters, and are coming and going continuously. They take turns guarding the entrance to Port Arthur. The junks further report that Chinese are no longer allowed to leave Port Arthur, and that the Japanese are punishing the bandits who raided Dalny and Talienwan. Three bandits have been executed and sixty have been arrested. The junks saw nothing of the Japanese fleet off Port Arthur. Alexieff Is Turned Down. London, June 8.—The Daily News correspondent at St. Petersburg wires: “On the highest authority I learn that the attempt of Admiral Alexieff and the naval party to induce the czar to order Gen. Kuropatkin to march to the relief of Port Arthur has definitely failed. What has happened it that the ezar has definitely asserted his su- preme authority. “A special council of war was held to consider the matter and it was voted by a narrow margin that Kuro- patkin should be ordered to advance south. The czar, exercising his im- perial prerogative, confined himself to requesting the commanding chief To Essay the Attempt if he thought it practicable. Kuropat- kin replied that the thing at present is impossible. When this reply became known, every effort was made by the Alexieff party to induce the czar to substitute the word ‘order’ or ‘request,’ put the czar stood firm. He professed confidence in Kuropatkin and an- nounced his intention of giving him a free hand. “It is believed here that Kuropatkin has sent part‘of his forces east toward Vladivostok. Hands will be joined with Gen. Linievitch, who is advanc- ing west from Vladivostok, and the combined force, the advance guard of which is commanded by Gen. Rennen- kamy?t, will then move down to Korea to intercept communication between Gen. Kuroki and Gen. Oku.” Alexis Wants Fleet. St. Petersburg, June 8. — Grand Duke Alexis, commander-in-chief of the navy, according to an apparently reliable report, which, however, is not officially confirmed, has obtained the permission of the emperor to cre- ate a third Pacific squadron from the ships of the Black sea fleet and per- mission has already been obtained from Turkey to take the ships through the Dardanelles on the condition that they will not return. This squadron will be composed, according to the re- port, of the battleships Rostislay, Dvenadzat, Apostoloff and Triasviatel- ia, and will be accompanied by tor- pedo boats and torpedo boat destroy- , ers and will sail for the Far East si- hington. eee | has not ed any a Russia or Turkey to agree to the pass- age of the Russian Black sea fleet through the Dardanelles. It is pointed out that Turkey doubtless would be delighted to get rid of Russia’s Black sea fleet, but the passage of warships through the Dardanelles would be a distinct contravention of the treaty, permission for which has neither been asked nor is likely to be granted if asked for. Second Gunboat Lost. The correspondent of the Daily Tel- egraph at Tokio cables: ’ “The commander of the fourth Jap- anese flotilla, who has returned to the rendezvous of the fleet from a recon- naissance in the vicinity of Port Ar- thur, mentions the loss of the Russian gunboat Giliak and the blowing up of another Russian gunboat about the same time. The loss of a second Russian gun- boat alluded to is mentioned in other Tokio special telegrams, but is prob- ably due to mixing the names Giliak and Gremiashchi. STATE BUILDING DEDICATED. Reception Held for Gov. Van Sant Fol- lowed by Formal Program. St. Louis, June 8.—The Minnesota building at the world’s fair was dedi- cated yesterday. A reception was held from 9 to 10 with Gov. Van Sant and Mrs. Van Sant in the receiving line. At 10 the formal program of speeches began. The Minnesota Press associa- tion, 350 strong, who arrived Monday on their annual vacation trip took a prominent part in the dedication exer- cises. Gov. and Mrs. Van Sant and twenty members of the governor’s staff arrived Monday night. Gov. and Mrs. Van Sant are being entertained at the Minnesota building, while the rest of the party is at the Wayside inn. At the dedication Conde Hamlin of St. Paul presented the building to the state, and Gov. Van Sant accepted it. J. M. Underwood, Hon. J. A. Taw- ney, C. W. Stanton and Theodore Hays are other Minnesotans who made addresses. President Francis gave an address of welcome to the fair and Miss Ada Maloney of Minne- apolis sang two solos. DEATH CHEATED. After Being for Thirty-Six Hours in a Coffin Child Is Restored to Life. Custer, S. D., June 8. — After lying thirty-six hours in her coffin, Mabel Fearing, the five-year-old daughter of C. M. Fearing, has been revived. The child was saved through the interven- tion of Dr. E. S. Norton, a relative, who was at the house to attend her funeral. Dr. Norton noted the rosy cheeks and unchanged appearance of the child and refused to permit the coffin to be closed. He called othfr physicians and an effort was made jp, At last signs of fe-. revive the child. turning animation were noticed. Half an hour afterward the stethoscupe in- dicated a return of strong heart ac- tion. An hour later the child was sleeping in the arms of its mother. With proper care the child will soon be in an advanced convalescent stage. BANKER FOUND DEAD. Was to Have Been Married Next Week. Winnipeg, Man., June 8. — Charles A. Patterson, late manager of the Bank of Hamilton, was found dead in a room at the residence of Attorney General Campbell. The gas jet was turned on, presumably by accident. He was living with the mother of his affianced, Mrs. Farrell, and was to have gone South to-day to make prep- arations for his wedding tour. His marriage was fixed for next Wednes- day. The young lady with grief. JUDGE GRAY FOR PRESIDENT. Delaware Democrats Elect Delegates Instructed for Him. Dover, Del., June 8—Contrary to the expressed wish of Judge George Gray, the Delaware Democratic state con- vention by a unanimous vote yester- day instructed its delegates to the St. Louis convention to present the name of Judge Gray to the convention as the choice of the Delaware Democ- racy for president and to work for his nomination. This action was taken after one of the most stormy conven- tions ever held in the state. NUNCIO FOR WASHINGTON. Satolli’s Mission May Lead to Ireland’s Elevation. Baltimore, June 8.—Through a high ecclesiastical source it was learned here last night that Cardinal Satolli’s visit to this country is for the purpose of establishing a nunciature at Wash- Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul and Mgr. O’Connell of the Cath- olic university are to aid him in his efforts, Should he be successful Mgr. O'Connell is to be the first nuncio at the American capital and Archbishop Ireland is to be made a cardinal. Boy Dies of Kick. Dubuque, Iowa, June 8. — Clarence Tonner, aged 10, was kicked in the knee while playing at school with an- other youth. Paralysis followed and he died yesterday. Twenty Killed in Explosion.

ARE DEAD SIXTEEN PEOPLE THIRTEEN OF THEM KILLED BY THE EXPLOSION OF AN IN- FERNAL MACHINE. BLOODY RIOT AT MASS MEETING ARMED MEN THRONG STREETS | OF CRIPPLE CREEK—CON- FLICTS HOURLY. Denver, Colo., June 8. — A reign of terror brought on by a diabolical dyna- miting plot, followed by rioting and an assault upon the militia, exists in the Cripple Creek mining district. Armed men throng the streets and conflicts are of hourly occurrence. Militiamen are marching hither and thither, mak ing arrests by wholesale. A number of union miners have been placed in the military bullpen and others are be- ing gathered in at frequent intervals. City and county officials have been compelled to resign their offices be- cause of their reputed sympathy. As near as can be estimated fifteen are dead and a score or more injured as a result of the events leading up to the conditions above described. Begin- ning with yesterday morning when An Infernal Machine, set under the station platform at Findley, on the line of the Florence & Cripple Creek railroad, was touched off and a number of non-union men who were waiting for a train were killed and others horribly mangled, events followed thick and fast. They culminated in a riot at a mass meet- ing where bullets flew fast, and at least one was killed and a number in- jured. Later a company of militia was marching past union headquarters, pursuing their search for union miners, they were fired upon, accord- ing to reports, by armed men con- cealed in union hall. The soldiers stormed the building and four miners were wounded. There were about sixty miners in the hall. Soldiers stationed in the streets and on the roofs of buildings across the street fired volleys through the curtained windows of the union hall. After exhausting their ammuni- tion in return fire, the miners came down stair With Hands Uplifted and bearing a white flag. They were surrounded by soldiers and escorted to the bullpen.» From all accounts about 175 men are now held in the military prison. At the headquarters of Adjt. Gen. Bell in this city everything is in read- iness to promptly meet a call for ad- ditional troops in the gold camp. Yesterday’s outburst had its incep- tion in the strike of the members of the Western Federation of Miners something over a year ago, when 4,000 men quit work for the purpose, pri- marily of enforcing an eight-hour day. ers that they declared a war on union- ism and the breach has grown wider with the passage of time. Much law- lessness has prevailed in the strike- ridden districts and unionists have been brought to trial on numerous TO PUNISH BANDIT. United States Will Not Leave Settle- ment of Affair to France. Washington, June 8. — The fears which are entertained in the capitals of Europe that the United States in- tends to make the Perdicaris incident the means of forcing the sultan to cede a Moroccan port to this country are ridiculed at the state department. Secretary Hay said yesterday that such rumors are without the slightest foundation and at the same time he made the situation perfectly clear for the benefit of the foreign diplomats who are becoming concerned in it. The position of the administration, as indicated by Mr. Hay, is that the time has come to prove to Mohamme- ‘American citizens must cease. Thi proof is to be presented as forcibly a: necessary, without any regard to what the powers of Europe may think about it. The United States is interested in Morocco only as far as the lives of American citizens are’ concerned. Stay Till the End. There is not the slightest intention of leaving the settlement of the affair to France. Not until Mr. Perdicaris MAYOR HUDSON FOUND DEAD. Missing Negaunee Executive’s Re- mains Turn Up in River. Negaunee, Mich., June 8—The body of Dr. Hudson, mayor of Negaunee, was found in the Escanaba river yes- terday near Sands. Dr. Hudson and a friend went hunting about two weeks ago and became separated. The friend returned home and searching parties had been scouring the woods ever | since in hope of finding the doctor alive. Dr. Hudson was reputed to be : wealthy. ‘ “TERROR EXISTS This action so incensed the mine own- dan countries that the persecution of | quitted, however. y Blown Up by Dynamite. Cripple Creek, June 8. — Thirteen men were killed by the explosion of an infernal machine at the railroad sta- tion in Independence yesterday, and seven others were seriously injured. Eleven men were killed outright, and one died later from his wounds. All the killed and injured, with the excep- tion of two men from the Deadwood mine, were non-union miners em- ployed on the night shift of the Find- ley mine. The men had quit work at 2 a. m. and were waiting to board a suburban train on the Florence & Cripple Creek railroad and return to their homes in Cripple Creek and Victor. Just after the engineer of the approaching train blew his whistle as a signal to the miners, according to custom, A Terrific Explosion occurred underneath the station plat- \form, on and near which twenty-six men were gathered. The platform was blown into splinters, the station was wrecked and a hole twenty feet in cir- cumference and about as many feet in depth was torn in the ground. Frag- ments of bodies were hurled through space for several hundred feet and later were picked up still quivering. Some of the bodies dropped into the pit made by the explosion, but heads, hands, ears, legs, arms and trunks were strewn about on all sides. Pieces of fiesh were found on buildings 500 feet away and bloodstained everything within a radius of fifty feet. The force of the explosion was felt throughout the camp and the Crash Awakened Everybody. The approaching train was stopped and the train crew were thé first men to reach the scene of the disaster. They were joined in a few minutes by hundreds of persons and relief work was begun at once. A special train was sent from Cripple Creek carrying physicians, nurses, officers and many others, but when it reached Inde- pendence the injured had already been Placed on board the suburban train and removed to the hospital in Victor. The mangled bodies of the dead, pieced together as well as possible, were removed to the coroner’s Office. Amputation has been performed upon a number of wounded but it is almost certain that several of them will die. A majority of the dead and wounded were single men, but several had families in the district. How Diabolical Work Was Done. The infernal machine with which the diabolical work was done consist- ed of a quantity of dynamite, estima- ted at from 100 to 300 pounds, a loaded revolver and a long, slender steel wire attached to the trigger. The revolver was fastened so that the pull- ing of the trigger would not draw it away. The wire ran from under the station to the cribbing of the Delmon- ico property, about four hundred feet away, where its end was fastened to a rung of a chair. The dynamite was placed close to the muzzle of the re- volver, which was discharged by pull- ing the wire when the engineer blew his whistle. The ball from the re- volver exploded the dynamite. Bloodhounds on the Trail. A man was seen running down the hill from the Delmonico after the ex- plosion. The Victor troops, who were ordered out by Maj. French, were so stationed as to keep people from pass- ing over the path taken by this man and bloodhounds were sent frem Can- yon city and Trinidad for the purpose of trailing the assassin. Without explanation and with a suddenness that has caused great sur- prise, Sheriff Henry M. Robertson | yesterday afternoon resigned his po- sition and Edward Bell was named to | succeed him by the county commis- sioners. Bell is a member of the citizens’ alliance. City Marshal O’Connell of Victor was suspended by Mayor French and Maj. H. A. Naylor was appointed pro- visional marshal. O’Connell yielded, although he was. strongly urged by union miners to resist.

He ow insists\ upon the dismissal of the pasha at Tangier, his own nomination | as governor of the district, the pay- | ment of an indemnity of 870,000 for the recent attack upon his village by sherifeen troops and the imprisonment of the chief of Shard, who formerly held him a prisoner. The sultan’s representative is said to have de@ared that the only way to settle the affair is to use force to capture Raisuli. THEIR LAST KISS. Wife Kills Herself Because of an In- significant Quarrel. Foley, Minn., June 8. — Mrs. Frank De Bilson, aged twenty-eight, kilied herself by taking carbolic acid yester- day because she had had a little differ. ence with her husband. About the last words she said to him were: “Kiss me, Frank; it will be the last time.” She formerly lived in Minneapolis. Her parents reside at New Ulm, and the body will be taken there for burial, Paris, June 8. — A dispatch from | ARE DEPORTED TWENTY-FIVE MEN SENT OUT OF CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT UNDER GUARD. COMPARATIVELY PEACEFUL DAY SOLDIERS AND DEPUTIES SCOUR THE HILLS FOR UNION MINERS. OFFICIALS FORCED TO RESIGN CITIZENS’ ALLIANCE COMPELS THEM TO ACT UNDER PAIN OF VIOLENCE. _ Cripple Creek, Colo.; June 8.—Under the regime of hundreds of deputy sheriffs and about 150 militiamen, re- ceiving their orders from Edward Bell, a wealthy mine owner, who suc- ceeded Sheriff Robertson when he re- signed under threats of lynching Mon- day, this gold mining district passed a comparatively peaceful day. Throughout the day deputies and sol- diers searched the hills for union miners, and the sum total of the day’s arrests was nineteen. This swelled the number of men confined in the bullpen to considerably over 200, and last night twenty-four of them were placed aboard a special train and Deported From the District. A guard of deputies rode out of the district with them. The men were residents of the follewing towns of the district: Cripple Creek, 3; Victor. 3; Independence, 12; Geldfield, 3; An- aconda, 2; Altman, 1. They were all active unionists and served as leaders in the strike now pending. Three additional city officers were forced to resign their offices yester- day, namely, Chief of Police William Graham, Night Marshal Fred Hardey and Justice of the Peace Charles Har- rington. Their reputed sympathy for unionism led to this action. In each case a committee of the Citizens’ Al- liance waited upon them and com- pelled them to act immediately under pain of violence. Sixteen deputies armed with sawed-off shotguns vis- ited the union store and made @ thorough Search for Weapons. They were rewarded with finding a rifle and shotgun concealed behind a large icebox. Subsequently they went to union headquarters and overturned everything in an effort to find the union records. Their efforts were un- availing. All those injured in the explosion at Independence and the rioting in Victor are reported doing well. No définite clue, it is understood, has been ob- tained through the bloodhounds which were started on the trail of the per- sons who placed the infernal machine under the station at Independence. While the tension is tightly drawn and the whole district has taken sides in the bitter feeling existing between the mine owners’ association and the unionists, it is thought that a clash will be averted for the reason that most, if not all of the union leaders are in durance. The streets of this city are being constantly patrolled by deputies and soldiers. Marked for Slaughter. Victor, June 8. — Two hemp ropes knotted with a noose for hanging were lying on a table in the room where the Cripple Creek District Mine Owners’ association held a heated discussion yesterday behind closed doors. The members were greatly incensed by the discovery of what they regarded as evidence of the existence of a plot in the Victor miners’ union for whole- sale assassination of mine owners and miners. This evidence was a ‘| pundle of forty marked photographs found by Lieut. Keegan in the union hall. May Declare Martial Law. Denver, June 8-—Adjt. Gen. Sher- man Bell, accompanied by a detail of staff officers, is on his way to Cripple Creek bearing Acting Governor Hag- gott’s proclamation of martial law for , that district. He has instructions to use his judgment as to the need for issuing the proclamation, and, if he decides that conditions warrant it, to place the gold camp under the reign of the military for the second time since the strike began last August. Murphy Is Chosen. Washington, June 8. — Dominic J. Murphy, commissioner of pensions un- der Cleveland, has been elected by the Panama canal commission as sec- retary of that body.
