THE TWO MEN KNOWN
TO HAVE BEEN ENEMIES
Valentine Was Mrs. Weislee's
Son-in-LawWas Last Seen
with Brown.
Strong evidence now in the bands of
the police tends to show that the trag
edy in boutheast Minneapolis last
night when Charle3 Blown shot Mrs.
Pauline Weislee and then killed him
self was only the aftermath of another
tifijedy of much darker aspect.
^hdt did Charles Brown have to do
witu the disappearance of Howard Val
entine, son in law of Mrs. Weislee?
Tlu police declare that Brown alone
knous and he has with his own hand
scaled the nnsteiy forever. Only cir
cumstantial evidence remains. Valen
tine disappeared late in August and on
bept a bodv supposed to DO his, was
taken troni the ri\er in St Paul. His
home lite had been happy and no one
could ad\ ance a reason for suicide.
Last Seen With Brown.
Today the police learned that Valen
tino and Blown weie enemies, and that
"Valentine was last en in Brown's
company Tt is known the son law
obpited to Brown's boarding with Mrs.
A\tislte, and that they often quarreled
o\er the matter.
Shortly before Valentine disappeared,
tht two men are known to have quar
iokd in a public hall near Hennepin
avenue and Second stieet. It is &aid by
acquaintances of the men that a revolv
ei was drawn and that Valentine was
shot in the arm, altho this statement has
not yet been proved Bystanders sep
aiatecl them -ind they agreed to settle
the matter elstwhere.
They left the hall, and that was the
last seen of Valentine
^r wei gashes and wounds on the
bod\ found in the river, but these were
thought to be due to the fact that the
swift cuirent had carried it against logs
and rocks
Since that time Brown had been
drinking heavily and while intoxicated
had beaten Mrs Weislee and received
a workhouse sentence on a charge of as
sault and batteiy.
The authonties are positive that
Blown, if living, could tell why Howard
"Valentine disappeared and how his body
came to be in the river. The investiga
tion will be continued.
Last Night's Shooting.
The shocking affair that led to the
Timaveling of the Valentine mystery
occuried last evening at 11 o'clock in
frtmt of Mrs Weislee's home, 1620
Nc*. entoenth avenue SE Brown, en
raged because his offer of marriage had
been reacted, snatched a 22 caliber
revolver from his pocket and fired at
tlio woman, who fell as if dead. He
then turned the smoking revolver to his
own head and filed. Death came in
stantly to Brown, but the woman, tho,
Hitffeiing untold agony at tho city hos
pital, may win her bravo fight against
death
The woman had attended a meeting
of the Volunteers of America and had
gone, home a street car. Brown had
been there also and took the same car.
He followed her to her dooistep, where
the shooting occurred. The patrol
wagon was summoned by neighbors and
Mrs. Woisleo was hurried to the city
hospital Brown's body is at the
morgue awaiting burial by friends.
The bullet entered at tho back of
tho woman's neck and may not prove
fatal, altho she was suffering preatly
this morning. When questioned by the

Lawson's Sensation About "Fi-
nancing" by Morgan and Rocke
feller a Pipe Dream.
TGN PURSES ON
^OTH SIDES LEAN
Republicans and Democrats Alike
Have Slender Funds for
Their Work.
By W W. Jermane.
Chicago, Oct. 24.Thomas Lawson's
sensational story in yesterday's papers
to the effect that J. Pieipont Morgan
is financing the republican national
campaign, and that John D. Rocketel
ler is perfoimmg a similar service for
the democratic campaign is neit er sat
isfying nor convincing. The campaign
will close two weeks from today, and
if there has been thus far any heavy
financing on either side, tho managers,
both here and in New York, know
nothing about it. What Messrs. Mor
gan and Rockefeller may be planning
to do the next two weeks, time alone
can disclose. Thus far their contribu
tions have not been large enough to
keep either committee from having
some veiy perilous and protracted
financial difficulties.
It is noteworthy that on both sides
the campaign purses are very lean,
when compared with what was gener
ally expected early in the summer. In
fact, Chairman Cortelyou, whose funds
are so slender as to prevent any de
tailed work in the intermountam states,
notwithstanding there is great need for
it, has been for weeks running a gaunt
let of criticism and abuse from the
New Yoik democratic papers because
he has been endeavoring', according to
their story, to replenish his funds with
solicited contributions from the New
York and Philadelphia trusts.
As indicating something of the con
ditions of the republican exchequer
this year, I may say that Representa
tive James A. Tawney of Minnesota,
in chaige of the western speakers' bu
reau for the republican committee, is
fettmg along as best he can with i
und of $50,000, as compared with five
times that sum expended for similar
purposes in the same territory four
years ago. In all the other depart
ments of tho republican committee sim
ilar economy is being practiced from
dire necessity. Mr. Cortelyou has been
barely able, after doing all he could,
to get together 40 per cent of the
amount that Senator Hanna had in
1900.
In the democratic oommittee a simi
lar state of affairs prevails. Less than
a month ago, at national headquarters
New York, more than 150 clerks
were dismissed, solely because there
was no money with which to pay them.
At the beginning of the campaign
August Belmont advanced $250,000 to
the committee, taking its note. He has
since given a second check for that
amount. Meanwhile, the committee has
been trying, without success, to collect
enaough money to take up these notes.
What few thousands have been col
lected in cash have gone after the Bel
mont $500,000 into the general cam
paign pot. Tom Taggart, chairman of
tho national committee, delayed his
present trip to Indiana almost a week
mg to force a fund of $60,000, which
he said was necessary to make Indiana
safe for Parker. He finally got about
fifty thousand dollars, I am told, and
it was very grudgingly given.
Mr. Lawson will find nothing in the
financing of the campaign thus far, on
either side, that will tend to make his
latest story good. Not only that, but
it is now well nigh too late for even
large corruption funds in charge of re
sult. These funds are always used
in the great centers of population, and
the last registration day has passed in
New York, Chicago, Indianapolis and
all the other large cities. Tms regis
tration, as is generally known, has run
strongly in favor of the republicans.
It is to be hoped that Mr. Lawson has
a more convincing basis of probable
fact for his feverish articles on "Fren
zied Finance" than he seems to have
for his story in the Sunday newspapers.

"West Virginia," he said to me,
"does not care anything for Gassaway

CLUBBED TO DEATH
BY VIRGINIA MOB
Negro Who Struck Officer with
Lighted Lamp Is
Killed.
Norfolk, Va., Oct. 24.George W.
Blount, a negro proprietor of a nsh and
oyster shop in the suburbs of Berkley,
was taken eaily this morning from the
police station by a mob of fifty masked
men and lynched.
Blount had been arrested Saturday
night for striking T. D. Holloman, a
Berkley policeman, the face with
a lighted lamp, badly burning him. The
officer had gone to Blount's place to
arrest another negro and Blount re
fused the officer permission to enter.
The attack on the station was made
when but one officer was on duty and
he was compelled to give up the keys
at the point of a pistol. The mob seized
Blount and carried him into Hardy's
field, a short distance away, where he
was beaten to death with some blunt
instrument and then shot. The mob
dispersed and the authorities declare
they know none of the participants.
Blount had been for many years a
negro republican leader and at one time
held a position in the Norfolk navy
yard. DEATH FOR TWO

REPARA TION OR WAR, SA YS BRITON TO RUSS,
FOtf BALTIC FLEETS ATTACK ON FISHBOATS
CLAIMS MISS HAM
AS FORMER WIFE
Sensational Evidence Taken Here
Dnluthr Breach of
Promise Case.
James Wallace Swears He Mar
ried the Woman in Wis
consin in 1884.
Sarah Ham of Dubuquev Iowa, who
recently won the envy of all fortune
hunters by securing a verdict of $20,-
000 for breach of promise against
George Potter, a prominent Duluth
lumberman, who may yet be receiving
condolences, is a principal in a new sen
sation.
This morning James E, Wallace of
Minneapolis appeared before Judge C.
B. Elliott and gave some startling tes
timony in the noted suit upon which
the defendant is moving: for a new trial.
Mr. Wallace says, under oath, that in
1884 he married Sarah Ham in a little
town over in Wisconsin. For some
mysterious reason connected by infer
ence with Potter, the woman refused to
live with her husband from the first up
the time that they were divorced
Minneapolis, only about two years ago.
This testimony, which was perpetu
ated this morning for use in the Duluth
case, is considered of the most vital
importance to the defendant. In the
trial of the breach of promise suit, he
endeavored to show that the plaintiff
was a woman of loose character, but
this evidence was discredited.
Mr. Wallace's story will be used to
show that at the time Miss Ham was re
ceiving the attentions and listening to
the promises of Mr, Potter, if he made
any, she was really a married woman.
There is nothing definite in Mr. Wal
lace's testimony that connects Potter
with Wallace's marriage to Miss Ham.
But when the witness was asked if he
knew Mr. Potter he replied: "Yes, to
my sorrow." It was further men
tioned that Potter was in the Wisconsin
town at the time of the Wallace wed
ding.
Mystery still surrounds the real facts
of the case and the principals seem
now especially anxious to avoid further
notoriety.* Every effort was made this
morning to keep a knowledge of the
proceeding from the press. Two wom
en, heavily veiled, -were anxiously in
auiring heir way tC Judge Elliott's
courtroom this morning and they were
evidently vitally interested in the pro
ceedings there. It is understood that
one or them is the much advertised
Sarah Ham.

DYNAMITERS IN
NEW YORK HOTEL
Sample Explosion Furnished Pro
prietor After Death Threats
Were Ignored.
New York, Oct. 24.Three letters,
each containing a demand for $5,000
under penalty of death or iniury to him
self and family for refusal, are reported
to have been received by the proprietor
of a new hotel in upper Fifth avenue.
Guests of the hotel, one of the richest
in the country, were startled last
Wednesday morning by an explosion.
Inquiries were told that the noise was
caused by the bursting of an electric
light globe, but it now aevelops, accord
ing to the Herald, that the would-be
blackmailers having failed to carry out
their plan set off a light charge of some
explosive outside the proprietor's apart
ments on the fourteenth floor of the
hotel.
The present police theory points to
the attempt as the work of some em
ployee or helperB of the hotel. Half a
dozen city detectives have been at
work on the case for some days. When
the second letter was received they dis
guised a man to appear like the hotel
proprietor and had him follow the letter
writer's instructions, dropping a pack
age supposed to contain $5,000 at a
given place. The detectives were se
creted for several hours where they
could observe the neighborhood, but no
one appeared to take the lettor and- the
next day a fresh threat was received
stating that the ruse was known to the
writer. CENTENARIAN BURNED TO

BRITISH VESSELS SUNK
Story of Attack on Trawlers by the
Baltic Squadron.
New York Sun Special Service.
London, Oct. 24.The war in the far
cast has been brought home to English
doors with a startling and tragic sud
denness. The Russian Baltic fleet, which
left Danish waters on Friday, ran into
a fleet of English steam trawlers early
Saturday morning, and without any ap
parent cause, as far as has been ascer
tained, deliberately opened fire on them.
As a result of this extraordinary ac
tion, at least one vessel has been sunk
and several damaged. Two men were
killed outright, and many others
wounded.
These, however, are only trifling re
sults compared with what may follow
unless the Russian commanders are able
to offer an explanation for their conduct
which the British government can re
gard as satisfactorv.
At the time of the occurrence the
fishing fleet, including about fifty ves
sels^ was fishing about 220 miles east by
north of Spurn. About 1 o'clock Sat
urday morning the outlines of several
large vessels came into view. The
weather was fine, but slightly hazy.
Strange ships loomed up larger and
larger in the darkness, and proved to
be the Baltic fleet consisting of about
fifteen ships, the departure of which for
the far east has already been an
nounced. The warships advanced in a
line. Half the squadron passed the fish
ing vessels without any demonstration.
The glare of searchlights suddenly
was turned on the fishing boats from the
second half of the squadron.
Then the stillness waa shattered by
Rojestvensky's Warships of Baltic Fleet Bombard Peace*
ful British Flotilla of Trawlers in
the North Sea,
Urgent Note of Protest Sent to Cmr by British Govern
mentSt. Petersburg Dumbfounded
by Incident*
London, Oct. 24.England has taken the first step in exchanges which mea*
reparation or war with Russia. Inflamed by the bombardment of the Hull fish-
ing fleet by the Eussian Baltic squadron, the British government purposes to 1
see if the czar and his ministers are trying to embroil European nations in the
hope of general war, or whether Admiral Rojestvensky and the officers of the
Baltic squadron, trembling with nervousness over the remote possibility of
Japanese attack in the North sea, have committed a prodigious blunder fol-
lowed by wanton heedlessness.
The British government this afternoon sent urgent notes of protest to the
Russian government on the subject of the Russian attack on the British fishing
fleet in the North sea, thru both Ambassador Hardinge and the Russian ambas-
sador in London.
Special stress is laid on the callousness displayed by the Russians in not
going to the assistance of the fishermen. Lord Lansdowne asks that immedi-
ate redress shall be made.
Lord Lansdowne is expected, in addition to making the usual claim for
indemnity for the vessels sunk, compensation for the wounded and pensions for
the widows of those killed, to demand a most ample apology and assurances"
that other British shipping which may fall in with the Russian squadron shall
not be submitted to similar treatment. These demands, it is believed at the
Russian embassy here, will be speedily granted.
It is believed in government circles that the Russian government will
take the earliest opportunity to give satisfaction, and it appears to be expected
that Russia will explain the affair, adding that the Russian officials had reason
to believe that there were mines or ships with mines in the neighborhood where
the fishing fleet was attacked.
An interview between Lord Lansdowne and Count Benckendorff has been
arranged for tomorrow. In the absence of Count Beckendorff the Russian
charge called at the foreign office this afternoon to express deep regret at the
occurrence. rtu

CZAR ON BRINK OF
WAR WITH ENGLAND
Possible that in order to accelerate matters, Vice Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, who is with the Channel fleet at Gibraltar, almost in the
path of the Russian squadron, may be ordered to detach a cruiser and com-
municate with Admiral Rojestvensky, as was done in the case of the Russian
volunteer steamers Smolensk and St. Petersburg.
Unusual activity prevailed at the admiralty thruout the morning, but owing
to the absence of Lord Selbord, first lord of the admiralty, no action was taken.
A strong squadron of cruisers lies at Portsmouth ready to sail at a few hours'
notice. The Mediterranean fleet is off Venice and the home squadron is cruis-
ing off Scotland. Thus in the quite unlikely event of Great Britain making a
naval demonstration, her forces are in peculiarly good position.
RUSSIA IS DUMBFOUNDED B,Y
NEWS OF NORTKLSEA ATTACK
m: Petersburg, Oct: 24No official informatipn from Yice Admiral Rojest-
vensky, commander of the Second Pacific squadron, or from other Russian sources
had reached the authorities here, as this dispatch is written, in regard to the
hrmg by the squadron upon British fishing boats early Saturday morning in the
-Li orxn S6t
The authorities are dumbfounded by the press reports of the affair and can-
not credit the accounts as presented. For this reason the censor today declined
to allow the publication of the foreign accounts of the affair.
In the highest quarters, where the reports were circulated, the gravity of
the affair was fully realized and the incident was greatly deplored. That Rus-
sia will offer apologies and reparation and make honorable amends admits of
no doubt, but with the inflamed state of public opinion in Great Britain and
coming on the heels of the sinking by the Vladivostok squadron of the British
steamer Knight Commander and the Red Sea incidents, it is recognized that the
situation may become acute unless the cool heads among the British statesmen
proceed calmly.
Unfortunately, in meeting such a situation the Russian government machin-
ery is so cumbersome as to render the prompt action which such a situation
seems to demand almost impossible. Everything will depend on the character
of the British demands. Here, it is considered, lies the principal danger of a
possible rupture. If they go to the extent of demanding the punishment of Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky or even the recall of the squadron, as some of the Brit-
ish newspapers intimate, it is likely to create a situation here which would make
it hard if not impossible to humble Russian pride to such an extent.
At the foreign office the sinking of the British fishing vessels was de-
plored. The authorities manifested the greatest anxiety and expressed the hope
that the unfortunate affair will be adjusted speedily and amicably, while they
believe that some explanation which will throw a new light on the affair will
be forthcoming as soon as Admiral Rojestvensky can communicate with St.
Petersburg, the authorities here being unable to believe that his ships fired
upon the fishing boats without warning.
The press reports are so startling that M. Sazonoff, the Russian charge in
London in the temporary absence of Ambassador Benckendorff, was instructed
this afternoon to express to the British government the intense regret and grief
with which the reports had been received and the desire of Russia voluntarily
to make full reparation the event of the Russian squadron being responsible
for the unfortunate occurrence involving the loss of human life.
It was also decided during the day to prepare a semi-official note expressing
the regret of the Russian government and its willingness to make full repara-
tion as soon as the responsibility is fixed.
This step, showing the attitude of the government, will, it is hoped, mollify
the British government and public opinion in Great Britain and pave the way
for an honorable diplomatic adjustment.
There is good reason to believe that the emperor may personally eonvey to
King Edward not only his regret, if the report should prove true, but his de-
termination to institute a searching inquiry and fix the responsibility.
It is rumored that the emperor personally received Admiral Rojestvensky *s
report this afternoon at Kronstadt, but at 6 o'clock both the admiralty and the
foreign office declared the report had not yet reached them.
*&
the firing of heavy guns and the horri
fied fishermen found themselves sub
lected to a fierce bombardment.
Unable to protect themselves, most of
the crews sought shelter below. Sev
eral vessels were struck and panic seized
the entire fleet.
Attempts were made by burning a
green light to convey to the Russians
the harmless nature or the fishing fleet's
operations, but without avail.
The firing continued for twenty min
utes until the Russians had steamed out
of range. Then it was found that sev
eral of the trawlers had been severely
m-iured. The greatest havoc occurred
on board the Crane. The captain and
mate wer found decapitated and other
members of the crew severely injured.
The amazed and horrified fisherman
but half realized what had happened.
They drew in their nets and headed for
Hull, where most of them arrived Sun
dav afternopn. The precise spot of the
disaster is in latitude 55:15 north, and
longitude 5:6 east.
