tions.
FIFTY TURKS KILLED.
OBJECT TO NEW CURRENCY.
Filipinos Do Not Take Kindly to Am©r.
i ican Pesos.
Manila, Aug. 7.—The effort of the
United States government to introduce
its new currency into the Philippine
islands has not met with the success
that was anticipated. Although a
large quantity of the coins minted at
San Francisco have reached the isl
ands there is considerable prejudice
against their use, especially in the
provinces. The bankers of Manila,
having become convinced of the neceS'
sity of action in the matter, held a
conference with Governor Taft, who,
after a full discussion, promised to
render all the aid in his power to se
cure the acceptance of the American
peso as the standard of value and the
general use of the new coins.
Fifty ladrones, who were implicated
in the recent raids near Surigao, in the
province of Mindanao, have been sen
tenced to long terms of imprisonment.

United States legation, has made an
extensive investigation into the execu
tion of Shen Chien, the reform journal
ist who was put to death by orders of
the empress dowager July 31, and has
handed Minister Conger a detailed re
port, proving that the executioners,
after beating Shen for three or four
hours, despaired of being able to fulfill
the dowager empress' orders and,
yielding to Shen's pleadings to end his
misery, strangled him with their
hands.
CONSPIRACY CHARGED.

Vienna, Aug. 7.—According to ad
vices received here a number of Ser

Seoul, Korea, Aug. 7.—An agreement
has practically been concluded be
tween Russia and Korea whereby Rus
sia acquires 200 acres of land at Yon
gampho, on the Yalu river, on a nine-J
ty-nine years' lease.
The application of M. PSvloff, the|
Russian minister, for permission to
erect a telegraph and telephone line
to Yongampho has been refused.
The extension to the northward of
the Seoul-Wiju railway is progressing.
•Previous dispatches said work on
the Russian telegraph line between
Autung and Yongampho had been
abandoned in consequence of Korean
remonstrances. Thereupon M. Pav
loff objected to the Japanese telegraph]
line from Seoul to Fusen, which was|
constructed prior to the Russian line.
The Korean government asked the I
Japanese minister to have the line re
moved, but the minister declined to
do so.

Seattle, Wash., Aug. 7.—At 4 a. m.
robbers removed the safe from the
bar of the Washington hotel (formerly
the Denny) and rolled it down the side
of the steep hill on which the hotel is
situated into Stewart street. Passers
by, including street car men going to
work, saw the men, but paid no atten
tion to them. The robbers drilled the
safe and planted dynamite and stepped
out of harm's way. Several persons
stopped within 100 yards to look at the
safe lying in the street and the possi
bility of safe cracking was suggested.
While thej were looking the safe ex
ploded. People came running from all
directions. The safe crackers made a
dash for the safe to get its contents,
but were frightened by people who
came running down from the Washing
ton hotel and left the $300 which it
contained.

GUESTS SURPRISED BY HIS COMMENTS
SHOWS WONDERFUL KNOWLEDGE
OF THE POLITICS OF VARI­
OUS COUNTRIES.
Rome, Aug. 7.—During
The members of the sacred college
gathered before the hour set for the
ceremony and held a kind of informal
reception, the conclave, short as it
was, having brought them cordially
together, A procession was then
formed. First came the Swiss guards,
then the Palatine guards, followed in
irregular ranks by the whole pontifical
court, the cardinals
In Ail the Gorgeousness
of their scarlet robes and the bishops
scarcely less striking in their purple.
The pope, in spotless white, his grey
hair in harmony with his whole at
tire, was surrounded by the noble
guard. The procession having gained
the hall of the throneroom where the
members of the diplomatic body were
gathered, Senor d'Antas, the Portu
guese ambassador and dean of the
corps, read in a clear voice the col
lective greeting of his colleagues, pre
senting their homage to the new pope
and assuring him of their fidelity.
Pius X. answered with great cordial
ity, thanking them heartily for their
good wishes. All then kissed his hand
aiiu tire pontiff took this opportunity
of spei ing personally to each, show
ing a knowledge of the politics of the
different countries which surprised
the diplomats, the new pontiff being
credited with taking small interest in
affairs outside Italy. It was another
surprise to them to hear him speak
French, if not fluently, at least with a
certain readiness. Altogether the
whole audience gave promise of a new
era of international cordiality at the
Vatican.
DENOUNCED BY LAFOLLiTTE.
Corporate Control Menaces Existence
of the Government.
Des Moines, Aug. 7.—Governor La
follette of Wisconsin addressed a large
crowd at the Colfax assembly near
here. Many Des Moines people at
tended. The governor, in a spirited
and decided manner, scored corporate
influences and declared that the Unit
ed States senate is a millionaires' club
and that there is even danger of the
Declaration of Independence being
nullified in practically every particu
lar as applied against public service
corporations. The governor said:
"The gravest danger menacing the
government today is the overbalancing
control of city, state and national leg
islative bodies by wealth and power
of public service corporations."
Governor Lafollette was more than
usually denunciatory and spared noth
ing in his generalization. He was fre
quently interrupted by applause.
MANY NEW ROUTES.
Postoffice Department Busy Extending
Rural Delivery.
Washington, Aug. 7.—During the
I first thirty days of the present fiscal
year the postoffice department estab
lished 2,455 rural free delivery routes.
The total number of routes established
for the entire fiscal year that ended
on June 30, 1903, was 5,644, conse
quently nearly one-half as many routes
have been established since July 1 as
were established during the previous
twelve months.
This is largely due, however, to the
[fact that the appropriation of 1902 was
exhausted several months before the
close of the fiscal year and, while the
work of mapping out the routes went
on as before, none was established
after the funds ran out.
WORK TO BE RESUMED.
Settlement of Building Trades Dispute
at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Aug. 7.—The building
trades council has called off the strike
at the A. & S. Wilson plant, the result
of a conference with the Builders' Ex
change league.
Council officers say they expect the
trouble to be settled at once and the
10,000 men out of employment to re-1
sume work.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 7.—Dr. Adolph

prominent young Cleveland physicians,
were drowned in Lake Erie off the
German-American clubhouse
swimming.
nORRIS, STEVENS COUNTY, MINNEgo|A, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8. ix3
one full hour
of the morning there seemed to be
nothing but vibrating sounds, so pene
trating were the strokes of the bells
of about 500 churches, which, all ring
ing together, absorbed all other noises
The ringing was in honor of the elec
tion of Pius X.—a welcome unique of
its kind—ordered by Cardinal Res
phigi, vicar of Rome, who issued spe
cial instructions therefor. All the
churches contemporaneously celebrat
ed masses for the event, the intoning
of the •'Oreinus" combining with the
harmony. The bells involuntarily
served another purpose, that of ring
ing in the great ceremony of the re
ception of the diplomatic body ac
credited to the holy see.
ROOT OYSTER BAY.
War Department Affairs Thoroughly!
Discussed.
Oyster Bay, L. I., Aug. 7.—Secretary
of War Root, after a lengthy confer
ence with the president, left for Wash
ington during the day. This probably
is the last visit of Secretary Root to
President Roosevelt before the secre
tary leaves for England to attend the
session of the Alaskan boundary com
mission. He will sail Saturday, Aug.
82.
The president and the secretary of
war discussed at some length some
points which have arisen regarding the
operation of the general staff of the
army. It is understood to have been
decided that Major General Corbin,
for a time at least, will continue to
perform the duties of adjutant general
of the army in addition to his work as
second in command to the chief of
staff, Major General Young.
While Secretary Root discussed I
thoroughly with the president the Lit
tauer-Lyon glove contract case no in
formation is obtainable as to the re-1
suit of the conference.
BRYAN APPROVES BOOKWALTER.
Says the Ohio Man Is Good Presiden
tial Timber.
Springfield, O., Aug. 7.—Colonel W.
J. Bryan, coining from Urbana, where
he lectured at the Chautauqua, was
the guest for two hours of John W.
Bookwalter. Bryan, following the con
ference, said:
"Mr. Bookwalter is one of the best
and most ardent Democrats in the
country. We had an enjoyable confer
ence, devoted wholly to a discussion I Telephone
of political policies. I am more con-1
vinced than ever that he is a dyed in
the wool Democrat.
"It is too early yet to talk definitely
about the presidential nominee. We
have the congressional elections to
take our time and attention next. It
seems to me that Mr. Bookwalter
would make a suitable candidate. He
is a, farmer and a business man. One
occupation ought to appeal to the East
and the other to the West."
FROM CHICAGO TO FOND DU LAC.|
Electric System With Madison 3S|
& Western Terminus.
Madison, Wis., Aug. 7.—Unless there
is a. failure in the plans already made,
Madison, during the next two years,
will be the Western terminus of an
electric railroad system reaching
from Chicago on the south to Fond du
Lac on the north. That portion of the
road from Chicago to Janesville has
&dy been constructed, with only
one intervening break in Illinois, be
tween Elgin and Belvidere, and work
is being clone upon ibis portion
of the route. Between Elgin and Chi
cago the line has been in operation
for some time. Between Janesville
and Madison the franchises and right
of way have already been secured,
and this is also true of nearly all of
that portion of the route between
Madison and Fond du Lac.

BOTH CLAIMING VICTORY.
Longino-Money Contest for Senator
From Mississippi.
Jackson, Miss., Aug. 7.—The contest
in the primary elections throughout
Mississippi for the United States sen
ate between Governor Longino and
Senator Money for the term beginning
March 4, 1905, is spirited and both
sides are claiming the victory.
The one receiving the majority will
be the Democratic nominee before the
legislature, which will elect a senator
next January, when two senators are
to be chosen.
For the term beginning March 4,
1907, Senator A. J. McLaurln has no
opposition. This is the first primary
©ver held in Mississippi for all offices,
state, county and local.
TOO MANY DEMOCRATS.
Objection Made to Jury Drawn to Try
Caleb Powers.
Georgetown, Ky., Aug. 7.—In the
trial of ex-Secretary of State Caleb
Powers for complicity in the Goebel
murder Judge Robbins overruled a
motion of the defense challenging the
jury panel which had been provision
ally accepted. An affidavit alleged
that of fifty-eight jurors only two were
Republicans and that deputies, direct
ed by several Democratic politicians,
discriminated in the selection.
The ground for overruling the mo*
tion was that "political affiliation" is
not a disqualification for jury service
at law.
ITALIAN WORKMEN KILLED.

New Hampton, la., Aug. 7.—Six or

Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 7.—Mary I

Henry Lowe, chief of the engineering
department of the United States Steel
corporation, who is speeding across
the continent on a special train, died
at a hotel here during the night. Mr.

GENERAL ADVANCE IN PRICES OF
SECURITIES ON NEW YORK
STOCK EXCHANGE.
I FURTHER FAILURES WERE EXPECiEI
OPENING WAS RATHER EXCITED
AND HEAVY SALES CAUSED
WIDE DECLINES.
New York, Aug. 7.—The stock mar
ket opened rather excited and there
were wide declines in a number of
securities, caused presumably by fears
of further failures. After the first few
minutes' trading it became apparent
that supporting orders in the market
leaders had been placed and the tone
became steadier. The selling was
especially strong in Missouri Pacific,
Baltimore and Ohio and Atchison,
while St. Paul, Southern Pacific, New
York Central and Pennsylvania showed
support.
Shortly after 11 o'clock the official
announcement was made that all
Sheets had gone through the Stock Ex
Change clearinghouse without diffi
culty, thus indicating that all brokers
had been able to meet their obliga
tions.
The market turned steady in the
afternoon and buying became as ani
mated as the selling had been in the
morning. The earlier losses of 1 to 2
points were generally transformed
into net gains of 1 to over 2 points.
New York Central, St. Paul, Missouri
Pacific, Southern Pacific, Wabash pre
ferred and Amalgamated were con
cpicuous features of the rally and
these stocks rose from 2 to 2% over
the previous night's level. The ab
ence of any failures and the cessa
tion of the selling out of collateral in
loans prompted the large short inter
ests to cover. There was occasional
selling to realize on the rally, but it
was without notable effect on prices.
Brokerage Firm Suspends.
New York, Aug. 7.—Laidlaw & Gar
