minister has transmitted to the depart
ment OF state letter from the govern
or of Sierra Leone enclosing a report
from Colonial Surgeon Ross, at Tree
town, regarding the case OF the Amer
lean missionaries. about whom various
stories have been told. The party con-
sisting of Mr.. Kingman and wife, Miss
Dick and Messrs. Helmeck, Jaderquist
Codding. Tryce, (colored) Gates and
Harris. arrived last February. They
began at once to live in native fashion,
hoping thus to gain the confidence OF
tho natives. In July Kingman in
formed Surgeon Ross that Gates and
Harris had died. No doctor had been
summoned because the whole party
were strong believers in faith cure.
DIR. Ross, on investigation. found that
their deaths were caused by tropical
fever, an extremely malignant disease.
Mrs. Kingman was found to be in the
last stages and she died despite his eff
forts to save her. He removed Tryce
to the hospital. where he eventually
recovered. Kiugman came down him

DUBLIN. Oct. 17.-United ireland
prints an account of the escape OF Dill
Ion and O'Brien, written by O'Brien
himself. He says: I'VE rowed from
Oakley Wednesday at midnight to o
yacht lying two miles off the shore.
The next morning found US ninety
miles away toward the Welsh coast.
Friday and Saturday we lay in dead
calm. On Sunday morning we landed
at Lands End, when the wind again
died away and we were forced to lie all
day in brilliant sunshine within two
miles of shore. A Trinity house cutter
passed quite close to us and the crew
OF the Royal Adelaide, off Falmouth,
actually exchanged greetings with our
sailors. The fog buried us from sight
on Sunday night, four steamers blow
ing fog horns around us during the
night. We cleared the Lizard in the
morning and darted across for the
French coast to out-trick British ship
ping. We were becalmed again on
Monday, and obliged to beat up the
channel. A brisk gale sprang up on
Monday. While passing Guernsey,
after midnight VIC were apparently
pursued by revenue cutter, which,
however, was unable to weather the
gale and abandoned the chase. In the
morning we were running FREQ before
the wind for Cherbourg, where we
landed at 1 o'clock.
We had reached our last days sup.
ply of water. All the arrangements
worked perfectly, thanks to u promi-
nent Dublin citizen who superintendent
them. and we had unparalleled good
luck"

OkInhoma'. Governor in Danger

cial from Oklahoma City says: Gov
ernor Steele, en- route to King Fisher
TO attend the Grand Army of the Re-
public reunion, received warning that
he would be assassinated if he passed
through here because of having vetoed
the bill locating the territorial capitol
at this place. At the solicitation OF
his family and friends he left the train
at small station before reaching Ok
lahoma City and continued his journey
by stage. The feeling against the gov
ernor is very bitter. and it is believed
that desperate men would have carried
out the threat had not the governor
changed his route.

the supreme court has already begun.
Senator Spooner Judge Gresham, Sena-
tor Henderson. Attorney General Mil
Ter. Senator Teller and Ex- Solicitor Gen.
eral Phillips of North Carolina are sug-
gested and discussed as likely to be

that Spooner, Gresham and Miller are
the most likely men for the place
Henderson, who lives in the circuit. is
spoken of as an excellent selection and
a young man who would be likely to
have long term of usefulness. Teller
also lives in the circuit and is spoken
OF as possible. but not probable. Sam
uel Nj. Phillips OF Rorlh Carolina, for
inerly solicitor general. is mentioned
as about the only southern man likely
to be considered. He is an able and
cultured man and fine lawyer and
would do honor to the position if the

Clever Safe Openfuy.


CHICAGO, H., Oct. 17.-Henry L.
Adams, a young man from Minneapo-
lis, came to Chicago some weeks ago
and took rooms at the Wayne hotel on
Michigan street. There he became
acquainted with young man about his
own age who was Il cousin to the hotel
proprietor, but this was not known by
Adams Within the past few days
Adams proposed to his new found
friend TO rob the safe in the hotel.
Adams was to get up at 4 o'clock this
morning and open the safe.
The hotel proprietor was told of the
plot by his cousin who pretended to
take the part of an accomplish in the
robbery, and little after midnight
two detectives were led into the hotel
and secreted behind the office counter.
Just as the clock struck the appointed
hour the safe robber tiptoed into the
hotel office and went to work. He had
pared the nail of the index finger on
his right hand until the blood vessels
were exposed and then by placing the
sensitive spot on the knob of the COM
bination lock, he could distinguish the
movements of the numbers as they
fell. For an hour he worked, while
the perspiration dropped in balls from
his brow At last there was sharp
click and as the first streaks of dawn
came in through the windows swung
back the door. With a sigh of re-
lief he reached into the safe and laid
his hand on package of bills.
The detectives then sprang forward
and the would-be robber was under ar
rest He was incarcerated and closely
guarded at headquarters.

Appointed Corn Caterer.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Colonei
Charles j. Murphy of New York has
been appointed special agent of the
department Of agriculture in Europe
for special duty in regard TO the use
among Europeans of corn and corr
products and to present to European:
the availability OF the cereal for hu.
man food purposes. Secretary Rusk
believes that proper understanding
of the edible value OF corn in It's many
attractive forms would greatly increase
its use among the people of Europe for
this purpose, whereas at present its
use is confined to cattle feeding pur-
poses, with the result that but very
small per cent of the crop was ex-
ported. Colonel Murphy labored earn
estly to secure an American corn ex-
hibit at the Paris exposition. and NOR.
recently has conducted "a similar ex-
hibit at the international exposition at
Edinburgh. His work has been quit
favorably commented upon by Euro.
pean journals.
