It cost the city of-New York $3,000 to bury Hiram Cronk, last veteran of the war of 1812. But then, there are no more last survivors. It has been necessary to vaccinate the entire police force of Passaic, N. J. That town must have policemen who are in the habit of catching thugs.

We hear a lot of talk about “beautifying the canal zone.” A hole in the ground extending from ocean to ocean, would be about the prettiest ornament imaginable for the canal zone.

Commissioner of Pensions Warner received a contribution of $1,924 to the conscience fund of the treasury. It came from.a pensioner ,and the sum constituted the total of the pension money drawn by him since the Civil war.

HEAR NEWS OF VICTORY SOON COSSACKS REPULSED WITH VERY HEAVY LOSSES NEAR LIAN HUABAO, LULL IN THE PEACE TALK FRESIDENT EXPECTS BY FRIDAY DEFINITE NEWS FROM TWO NATIONS. London, June 21.—The correspond- ent of the Daily Telegraph at Tokio sends the following: “The Japanese are continuing their victorious advances in Manchuria. The Russians have been completely outflanked on both wings, and news of Japanese victories may be expected shortly. “The Japanese have considerably over half a million men in the field. Their preliminary operations began as far back as May 20. Two significant announcements have been made—the first that the Japanese consul general has informed the viceroy of Liang Kiang that Admiral Uriu’s squadron intends to cruise in the Yangtse river,; and the second that the British squad- ron at Hongkong will proceed to Wei- hai-wei and begin gun practice off Shaniung province on June 22. Cossacks Are Repulsed. “Your correspondent with the Jap- anese headquarters reports that Cos- sacks were repulsed with heavy losses near Lian Huabao June 16, but were considerably reinforced at Leikaton, and that another raid is expected. In the direction of Hailincheng the Rus- sians have been reinforced by three divisions. Gen. Madelaroff commands the advance lines and is trying to check the Japanese northward ad- vance. The Japanese expect good news shortly. “The Russians have constructed three strong bridges across the Tumen river.” Oyama the Master. London, June 21.—While undoubted- ly the people of England would like to see a genera] battle in Manchuria be- fore an armistice is declared, since it is felt certain that Field Marshal Oyama would score another victory, the Associated Press is assured that the British government has not given Japan any advice as to what course to pursue, as alleged by the Novoe Vremya of St. Petersburg. In fact the government has done nothing beyond supporting President Roosevelt's en- deavor to secure the earliest meeting of the peace plenipotentiaries and the submission by Japan of terms likely to be acceptable to Russia. With over- whelming forces at his command it is felt in military circles that Oyama is in a position to deal a most crushing defeat to Gen. Linevitch. President Leaves Capital. Washington, June 21. — The presi- dent left for New England last night and until Friday there will be a lull in the peace talk, though the exchanges between Russia and Japan will con- tinue through the state department and Ambassador Meyer. By the time he gets back to the White House, Mr. Roosevelt expects the two govern- ments will be ready to announce their plenipotentiaries and the date of their meeting, which probably will be Aug. 1. Japan has assured the president that her commissioners can be in Washington by that time and unof- ficial advices from St. Petersburg say the date is satisfactory to Russia. Little Hope for Armistice. St. Petersburg, June 21.—The only hope for an armistice pending the meeting of the peace plenipotentiaries seems to rest with President Roose- | velt, and even that is considered slen- der. So far as is known the president has not taken a positive step in this direction. The impression here continues strong that Japan, only with great re- juctance, would be induced to forego the advantages of her strategic posi- tion, which, despite the tone of the of- ficial advices from the front, is regard- ed as being altogether favorable to Field Marshal Oyama, and agree to a suspension of hostilities for at least six weeks, during which time thou- sands of reinforcements would reach Gen. Linevitch and Vladivostok would pe strengthened with munitions and supplies to withstand a siege. TALLEST ON EARTH. Highest Skyscraper in the World Will Be Erected in New York. New York, June 21.—The Metropol- itan Life Insurance company will erect on the site of Dr. Parkhurst’s church at Madison avenue and twenty-fourth street the tallest building in the world.

An invitation was received yesterday from the sultan of Morocco, sent through Consul General Gummere, for this government to take part in a con- ference of the powers upon the inter- nal affairs of that country. While no action by this government yet has been determined upon, it is practically certain that until the invitation is unanimously accepted by those gov- ernments to whom it has been ad- dressed, the United States will decline to participate.

IS SCATHINGLY ARRAIGNED PRESIDENT SAYS BOWEN’S CON- DUCT 1S ESPECIALLY REP- REHENSIBLE. MR. LOOMIS IS EXONERATED ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATE GUILTLESS OF BOWEN’S CHARGES. Washington, June 21—The dismissal of Herbert W. Bowen, for some years United States minister to Venezuela, and the exonerating of As it Sec- retary of State Francis A. Loomis from the allegations brought against him, are the outcome of the Bowen-Loomis controversy, which has attracted wide- months is let- spread attention for many past. This disposition of the ¢ made by President Roosevelt in @ ter addressed to Secretary Taft, n public last night, approving M findings and conclusions in The president scathingly arraigns Mr. Bowen, declaring that his conduct especially reprehensible; that Bowen asked one of his witnesses to enter the employ of one corporation for the purpose, “in plain words of Stealing Documents which he hoped might incriminate Mr and Mr. Bowen has for many s, indeed for the last two years” devoted himself “to hunting up scan- dal and gossip until it became a mono- mania and caused him to show dis- tinct disloyalty” to the country he rep- resented. The president says he had hoped to promote Mr. Bowen as during much of his service he had done good work, but that his usefulness in the diplom ic service is now at an end. The presi- dent adds that he would direct that Mr. Bowen's resignation be requested, but for his statement that he would consider a resignation as an admission of misconduct, and the dism is, therefore, ordered. The letter quotes correspondence and testimony. The president says it appears that Mr. Bowen while minister secured publica- tion of attacks upon Mr. Loomis and furnished the press documents pend- ing before the state department fo: p- proval, and that his explanation is in- excusable and shows His Entire “Unfitness” for the service. Even if Mr. Loomis had been guilty, said the president, Mr. Bowen's conduct would have been wn- pardonable. In his report Secretary Taft that there was nothing dishonorabie in the transactions in which Mr. Loomis figured, but that he was not discreet. The report says that Mr. Loomis was not justified in becoming personally in- terested in any of the schemes, either with a mere nominal interest or sub- stantial interest. He holds, however, that Mr. Loomis has been “most cruel- ly ,slandered,” commends him for the self-restraint with which he has met the charges, and points out that Mr. Loomis’ bitter experience in this case makes it unnecessary to point out the moral that a minister cannot afford in the country to which he is accredited to make personal investments. SHONTS SCOUTS FRICTION IDEA. Ridicules Rumors Stirred Up by Re turn of Wallace. Washington, June 21.—Officials here place no credence in dispatches from Colon indicating friction between Chief Engineer Wallace and the mian canal commission, and declaring that Mr. Wallace is en route home for the purpose of resigning.
