ESCANABA, Mich.,, Nov. 16.—The peculiar coincidence of two men of the same name meeting their death in the same manner, at the same hour | on the same day has been brought to notice in connection with the death of | John Minnick, killed at the Stephen- sen Company's mill at Wells, near heére. On the same morning, a little after 9 o'clock, at Milwaukee, Wi John Minnick, a millwright, was | caught in a shaft and whirled to his death. The John Minnick at Wells, who {aiso was a millwright, was Kkilled | ! shortly after 9 o'clock, his clothing | | likewise having become caught in | shafting. No one saw the accident which re- | | sulted in John Minnick’s death at the Stephenson mill, and when the; | mangled body of John Minnick was | jfound In Cox Bros’' plant at Mil- { waukee it was the first inkling of that | fatality. Both men were working about re- volving shafts, and both, without a | thought of danger, approached too near.

The Chinese Government “six months ago gave no- tice that it would abrogate the treaty on December 8, in the hope of obtain- ing a convention more favorable to the admission of merchants, students and officers. President Roosevelt is favor- able to a mare liberal treaty, regard- ing the extension of such privileges to Chinese as a good way to wim com- mercial favor in return. The policy of the exclusion of coolies Wwill not be changed in any way. When China decided to conclude the existing treaty Senators and Represen- tatives from the Pacific Coast were ex- cited. The Pacific Coast legislators in- sisted that the abrogation of the treaty would cause the treaty relations of China and America regarding immigra- tion to revert to the Berlin treaty, en- acted several decades ago. It provided immigration between the two countries should “e “free and unre- stricted.” On the ground that reversion to this treaty would cause an inrush of coolies from Mexico and Canada between De- cember $ and the earliest day the Sen- ate could ratify a new treaty, the Pa- cific Coast Senators and Representa- tives sought prohibitive legislation by Congress. The leaders advocated giv- ing the President charge of the matter. The President asked for Attorney Gen- eral Knox's opinion as to whether the immigration law of 1803 would hold after the abrogation of the treaty. Knox advised that additional legisla- tion be enacted by Congress. The ef- fort of Congress to dodge responsibility was accordingly frustrated and in the | closing days of the session an act was ed re-enacting all previous execlu- sfon, without regard to treaties. Pan- ama was specifically excepted from the | exclusion policy, so that Chinese labor may be employed in digging the canal. It is understood that the new treaty to be proposed by the administration will seek to cultivate friendly trade re- lations with China, without throwing the doors wide open to the coolies.. ————————— May Send Wheat East by Water Route PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 16.—Port- land grain dealers are considering the foasibility of transporting wheat to Eastern markets by the water route. The plan is to secure if possible Amer- fcan sailing vessels for the purpose. There are about ten American vessels lying idle at San Francisco, which have a combined capacity of more than 25,000 tons, and it is probable | that some. of these may be engaged. — Death Summons an Artist.

SHERIDAN, Ore., Nov. 16.—John Dickins, proprietor of the Sheridan Hotel, shot and fatally wounded Har- ry Potter, a laborer, this afternoon. Jealousy is believed to have been the cause. Dickins is married and about 40 years of age. Potter is unmarried and about two years his senior. The men were seen' in close, ear- nest conversation early this afternoon in front of Noyes' general store. Sud- denly Dickins was seen to draw a re- volver from his hip pocket and fire at Potter at’'a distance of two or three feet. The bullet struck Potter in the mouth. The wounded man fell to the sidewalk and rolled over into the street. _Standing directly over the prostrate body, Dickins fired twé more shots into Potter’s back, either of which would prove fatal. Potter was conscious when picked up. He said he did not know why the hotel-keeper had -shot him. Dickins gave himself up to the officers and refused to make any statement. ——— NATIONAL GRANGE HEARS REPORTS OF ITS OFFICERS Many Matters of Interest Are to Be | Disposed of at Present Session of Organization.

The two police officers who were de- tailed to keep the peace at the Crocker- Clement football game yesterday met their Waterloo late in the afternoon. At least a hundred boys swarmed on the fiald throughout the game, but the police made no effort to clear the grid- | fron until the game was within ten minutes of completion. One of the po- licemen singled out a youth about 10 years old, and because the lad did not move as lively as the policeman wished he was struck in the face several times and hustled out of the grounds. The guardian of the peace who had lost his temper was followed back to the grounds by about fifty hooting school boys. The other policeman came to his com- rade’s aid and tried to disperse the crowd. One of the police, unfortunately for himself, shoved “Tat” Rlordan, the pugnacious tackle of Polytechnic High Schopl, and the real trouble began. Riordan’s fighting blood was immedi- ately aroused and he salled into the| policeman. The other bluecoat pulled his club and struck Riordan over the head. The latter forthwith turned his attentlon to his second assailant. In the melee that followed the policemen came off second best. When Rlordan's companions pulled him away each po- liceman nursed a beautiful black eye and a cut face. Riordan's face was also skinned. There were no arrests. —_——— Great Sums Pledged. The “straight” life insurance com- panies of the United States are pledged to pay about $12,000,000,000 to several million policy holders during the next half-century or so, and they are In- creasing this vast liability at the rate of $2.500,000,000 a year; and, in addi- tion, there are more than 800 fraternal orders, business associations and the like insuring the lives of their mem- bers and guaranteeing to pay out an- other $5,000,000,000. All these organiza- tions coilect, every year, some $500,000,- 000 from the policy holders, besides an- other $100,000,000 of interest and the like. In a word, their total income is a little larger than the income of ay the railroads in this country and their receipts for eighteen months would pay the United States national debt.— The World's Work. —_———— Rostand’s Experience With Officlaldom Edmond Rostand was the other day the hero of a little episode wich might a scene in a future play.
