Minnesota Secures the Next Mining Congress
(By Associated Press.)
Cripple Creek, Colo. , July 18.—The
Trans-Mississippi congress has com
pleted the most important of its work,
adopting resolutions covering a multi
tude of subjects of interest to the great
west, and selecting the Twin Cities, St.
Paul and Minneapolis, Minn., as the next
place of meeting.
The only debate of the session that at
any time threatened to disturb the har
mony of the occasion came up over the
resolutions proposing the establishment
of government departments of mining
and of commerce and industry.
The friends of the former feared that
adoption of the latter would be inimical
to their hopes, the danger being that the
mining Industry might be relegated to a
bureau of other departments.
The debate was led by H. R. Whitmore
of St. Louis and F. I. Thurber of New

(By Associated Press.)
St. Petersburg, July 19.—It is well
known that women enjoy in few coun
tries more equality with men than in
Russia.
This fact is attested by the following
partial compilation of the public positions

LIBERALS PLAN
AGGRESSIVE POLICY
(By Associated Press.)
London, July 19.—Invitations to the
Asquith dinner, which began with a
select imperialist circle, have not been
extended to all the liberal members, but
only some 30 have signified their inten
tion of attending, most of the others
holding the opinion that the dinner fa
inopportune.
It is believed Mr. Asquith will not
confine himself entirely to the war or to
Lord Rosebery's manifesto, but will sug
gest an aggressive policy on which the
liberals can unite for the restoration of
influence of the party.
Interest is heightened by the fact that,
contrary to his original intention. Lord
Rosebery will speak contemporaneously
at the City Liberal club.
It is understood Sir Edward Gray's
criticisms are responsible for this change
of plans.
Whether Lord Rosebery intends en
larging upon or explaining his argu
ments in the manifesto, or placing him
self at the head of those radicals who
are anxious to acclaim him as leader, is
being eagerly discussed, though few be
lieve the latter course is probable.
Armored Cruisers Will
Be Flyers of First Water
XX1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX»X'***XXX*XXXXX'XXXXXXX
(By Assoolatd Press.)
Washington, July 19.—Plans l»ow under consideration for the new
armored cruisers authorized by congress contemplate such a new de
parture in steaming capacity that these ships will be able to make
voyages exceeding the long distance trips, of any naval warships
afloat.
Although the plans are not finally passed upon, the main fea
tures are pretty well worked out.. They provide for a combination of
three screws, so separated that anyone can work independently. By
using all three screws the ship cauhl develop great Speed, from 22 to 23
knots, so that she could be listed a* a 23 knot ship. But all three
screws would be used only in case .of emergency.
For the purpose of making long voyages only one screw would be
used at a time. It is.estimated that this would give a speed of 10
knots an hour. By alternating the screws, the big craft could make
a voyage of at least 10,000 miles wiihout a stop to re-coal, and at the
same time she would always have her three screws in readiness to
develop a 22 or 23 knot speed In case of necessity.

Fiendish Plots to Kill
Deer Lodge, July 19.—The trial of Clinton Dotson was continued
this morning by the state putting Dr. E. W. Dodds on the stand. He
gave expert testimony regarding the manner in which Oliver Dotson
died.
He was followed by S. E. Larabie and Joseph A. Hyde, who gave
expert testimony relating to the handwriting that has been introduced
at the trial.
Both said the purported will and confession, found by Dotson's
dead body, were not in the handwriting of Oliver Dotson, but were
similar to the writing admitted to be McArthur's.
Six prisoners from the penitentiary were called by the defense to
Impeach the testimony of Ellis Persinger, who said yesterday that Clin
ton Dotson had told him of the plot whereby McArthur was to mur
der Oliver.
Their testimony was to the effect that Persinger had said he
would willingly swear away the lives of both McArthur and Dotson
in order that he might get a pardon and secure his own liberty, even
going so far as to say that he cared not if innocent men were hanged,
so long as he could secure his liberty.
Dotson went on the witness stand on his own behalf late in the af
ternoon, and both sides will probably rest before court adjourns for
the day. As the instructions of ihi court and the arguments of the
counsel will take a long time it will probably be near noon tomorrow
when the case is finally given to the jury.

Helena, July 19.—There is a great scarcity of common labor in
this section. Not only is the East Helena smelter prevented from
starting another furnace by its inability to get men to run It, but the
sheep men cannot get help for the bay harvest. Henry Camion has
been looking for ten men in Helena the last few days to cut hay on
the Cannon brothers' sheep ranch, 12,000 acres near Adell, but cannot
find them. He has 1,000 tons of hay waiting to be cut. Every man con

RUSSIA IS SEEKING MORE FRIENDS
(By Associated Press.)
St. Petersburg, July 19.—"Sokot," or
Turner societies, play a leading political
role in the Polish provinces of Germany
and in Bohemia, being rally points for
Polish nationalists and pan-Slavic propa
ganda respectively.
Anti-Sokol meetings have just been
held in Prague. Their doings have been
telegraphed by the official Russian
agency with surprising fullness.
The Russian delegation was led by
Lieut. Gen. Ritticli of this city. It iq
not known whether he went there with
the sanction of the government and
armed with a mandate. Certain it is
his speeches and farwell letter with
which he honored the Bohemian turners
were telegraphed here in full and were
printed in the Official Messenger as the
leading news of the day.
The farewell letter and the telegram
about It are somewhat unusual docu

ments of the political programme of the
pan-Slavs. The Brouse Gazette, which
represents business fairly accurately,
says In a leader*.
"Thus can one speak only in moments
of real enthusiasm. The sentiments ex
pressed towards tlje Czechish people In
the leitter of Gen. Rittieh are shared by
the whole of thinking Russia.'

San Francisco, July 19.—-The work of

The amount inspected and weighed was
$47,140,000.
The currency was found intact to the
dollar and has now been checked up

men, so that there is no possibility of
error.
The completion of the count sets at rest
the theory that the shortage of $30,000

Nothing whatever has been dis

Developments at Duncansville are

At Vandergrift the situation is still

Father Cardella came from a prominent
Italian family. When 15 years old, in
1846, with his brother, who afterward
became famous in Rome, he entered the
Jesuit order. He spent several years la
study and after his ordination taught
ethics, scripture and moral theology.
When the order was expelled from
Italy Father Cardella went first to Spain,
where many of the expatriated priests
took refuge, and after becoming thor
oughly familiar with the language went
to South America, where his order was
just obtaining a foothold.
He took a leading part in establishing
many Jesuit institutions, a labor fraught
with much danger in revolutionary times.
Then he went to Mexico, where he con
