Casement’s tour was to have lasted six months, but after the scenes he witnessed and the information he obtained in the first two months. the was unnecessary. The report which eign Office will show that the most hor- rible outrages are still being perpetra- ted under the “rubber regime,” and that most revolting forms still exist. The Casement party ' traveled over 1000 miles from the coast along the Congo and its tributaries, visiting the Abir and Lulonga rubber zones. Pend- |ing the delivery of the report to the Foreign Office the investigators refuse | to furnish any details, but a member | of the mission summed up the situa- tion by saying: “The most terrible slavery exists, the | administration 1s atrocious and If there is not speedy intervention it will be too late.” ——— e NEW LONDON, Conn., Dec. 5.—A success- fu. test of the new wireless telegraph plant installed by the United States Government at Fishers Isiand was made to-day.

In addition to the punishment to be pronounced by the court, each of those who pleaded guilty to accepting bribes will be forever disqualified | from holding a post of trust. This provision is included in the statute prescribing the punishment in ‘such cases, In the Police Court to-day ex-Al- derman Daniel E. Lozier, of the Elev- enth Ward waived examination.

Almanac for 1904 RUSSIA HOLDS CHILOREN'S FAIR International Exposi- tion Opens at St. Petersburg. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 5.—A Chil- dren’s World’s International Exposi- tion was opered to-day in the Tauride Palace with gréat ceremony by Eliza- beth Mavrickievna. The opening was a brilllant function and was attended by the state Ministers, members of the | }dlplomauc corps, including United | States Embassador McCormack and high Government functionaries, in full uniform. The ceremonies were fol- jlowed by a grand ball. This is the first international exposition devoted exclusively to the life of children ever held and it is unique in every respect. It owes its origin to a suggestion made | | by Dowager Empress Marie and is held { under her auspices. All the countries | | of the world were invited to partici- | pate and almost all of them accepted the invitation. Russia has the largest exhibit and France, Germany and Aus- tria follow in the order named. The- exhibit of the United States, which is under the direction of Commissioner Schadt of Philadelphia, is the small- est, consisting only of photographs of schools and school children, but it en- Joys the distinction of being displayed under the largest flag in the palace. ‘When the American colors were un- furled the incident attracted universal attention, the appearance of the Stars and Stripes being greeted with ap- plause and cheers. The most interesting features of the exposition are the exhibits relating to hygenie and the physical deeviopment of children, including the care of new- born infants, etc., and the section de- voted to scientific teachings. One sec- tion devoted to child life includes | Accused of Burglary. John Owens, a teamster, was booked | at the City Prison yesterday by De- tectives Regan and O'Connell on a charge of burglary. He is accused of breaking into the Oregon dock on Sun- day night and forcing open five trunks, from which he stole $200 worth of goods. The officers recovered most of the stolen property. Some years ago Owens was arrested for shooting at his wife. 3 His Pockets Are Emptied. Belle Martin wes arrested yesterday | afternoon by Policemen Wren and Mec- | Grayan and booked at the City Prison { on a charge of grand larceny.
