BADLY DISTANCED.
The Poor Old Review Still in the
Rear.

Our space is too valuable to take
much of it to refer to the endeavor Of
the Rerieao to explain those ''fake' in
terviews, which have become 50 fire.
quent as to render it's columns noto-
riously unreliable. Without attempt
ing to deny the self-evident truth, it
plumes itself upon having secured
four news items during space cover
ing the last four months, which it
claims did not appear in these col
umns. At least one of them appeared
in this paper fully month before it
did in our slow-going evening contem-
porary, and as to the others we have
not time to refer to our files, but if
they were not "faEes" we probably
had them. But cOnceding that our
neighbOr is correct, the fact that it
found only four fOurth-class news
items, and one of these Of no local in
terest, in the past four months,
which we did not have is the very
best recommendation which the FREE
PRESS could have as the leading news
gathering agency in Mankato, and
our steadily increasing circulation
shows that the public thoroughly ap-
preciates this. If it could find more
it would be no discredit to us.
While only four scoops" in four
months are cited, the FREE PRESS
averages that many every day over it's
neighbOr, and it does not brag about
it, either.
While on the subject of scoops"
we might modestly refer it the fact
that the FREE PRESS sCOOped all the
papers on the two great items OF
news of the year-the w. @. Wilson
bigamy case, and the Sunday base
bail agitation. These two matters
caused more local discussion than any
other for years, and the ReUieec learned
of both of them from the columns of
the FREE PRESS, where it finds the
most important news every day.

ton, the principal charges against ed.
eral courts being the undue protection
of corporations and oppression Of ia
power Of organized labor. A rapid n.
crease in corporations and their frea.
dom, in some cases, from moral re.
straints, resulted at times in the use
Of money for corrupt purposes and var
ious other acts which justly gave rise
to popular distrust Of their methods.
In spite Of these we'll known evils
nothing is clearer to a calm, intelligent
thinker than that under the conditions
of modern society, corporations are in
dispensable both to the material pro.
gress of this country and to the main
tenance Of that we have.
He referred to the. relation of the fed.
eral courts to organized labor especial
ly the action in issuing the injunction
in the American Railway Union strike
and strongly criticized the attitude Of
Governor Altgeld in maintaining that
the conspiracy described in the Debs
case was not unlawful. He said: "A
public nuisance more complete than
that in which Debs ct al were engaged
in furthering, cannot be imagined"
! Judge Taft's address was heartily
applauded throughout. At it's close, on
recommendation Of the general council,
A new members were elected, 13 Of
whom are from Michigan. After re-
ceiving reports from the committee on
J judicial administration and remedial
procedure, and the committee on legal
education, the convention adjourned
until the evening. This afternoon the
delegates gladly escaped from the heat
of the convention hall and enjoyed an
excursion on the river.

Former Employe Of the Hotel Yakima

North Yakima, Aug. 27.-Some time
ago the safe of the Hotel Yakima was
robbed Of upwards Of $500, and although
every effort was made to trace the loss
no material step was taken until to-
night, when Louis A. Boyd, former
employe. was arrested upon his return
from camping expedition in the noun
tains. A surplus Of cash whi"'- could
not be accounted for and regarding
which improbable stories were told, was
the main ground for the arrest. Boyd
has wealthy relatives in Pennsylvania
and Missouri, who were disposed to pro-
vide for him literally, but his conduct
after generous remittances was such
that moneyed supplies were finally shut
on. The warrant was issued at the in

Minister DENLY Cables That the Inquiry
Will Be Thorough.

Washington, Aug. 28.-The depart
ment has received cable advices from
Minister DENLY dated August q, that
Hixon, consul at Foo Chow, started for
Kut Elm under orders from him to in
vestigate the recent riots in the early
part Of this month. Hixson went with
the consent of the Chinese government
and under protection Of an escort furn-
ished by the provincial authorities. He
was accompanied by Commander New
ell of the Detroit. The Ku Cheng COM
mission will begin work as soon as the
British consul at Chung King can leave
his post.
The late viceroy of, Szu Chuan, Liu
Ping Ching, has not been appointed by
the Picking government it's commission
er for Investigating either the June or
August riots, but has received orders
from the emperor to remain at Cheng
Tu until his conduct prior to and dur
ing the riots has been thoroughly in
vestigated. The first paragraph of the
above statement completely disposes of
the story sent out from Washington by
the United Press few days ago to the
effect that Consul Hixson had proceed
ed hastily and without authority. The
whole statement also disposes Of an
other baseless story that Minister Den
by's course was unsatisfactory and he
would likely be recalled. It is stated
at the department that matters are
progressing in China in an entirely
satisfactory manner.
CHINESE ARE ASSISTING.
Hongkong. Aug. est is reported
here that the Chinese officials are as
sisting the Ku Cheng commission ac-
lively and are making thorough in
vestigation into the recent massacre Of
missionaries. Ten vegetarians have al
ready been convicted. The trial of
others is proceeding. There is no
danger of fresh disturbances in that
district during the sitting Of the COM
mission.

MURDER WAS DONE FOR GAIN
Strangers Fnticed There During the
Worlds Fair Who Never saw
the Light Again.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 2S.-J. G. AL
Ian, alias caldwell" the convict serv-
ing a 1O-years sentence here for horse
stealing, has made statement to
Warden Moore of H. H. Holmes and
his operations. The warden believes
the man knows a great deal more than
he has told, but he has had the state
ment put in writing, read to Allen and
verified in every particular. In the
statement Allen says:
1.-THE building in Chicago known as
the "castle'' was erected especially for
a death trap. and during my association
with Holmes was IN it often, and in
fact occupied a room there. A stranger
to the city during the worlds fair was
decoyed into that castle and murdered
much money as Holmes thought, only
$1,000.
A bright little boy was enticed into
the castle during the fair and held in a
room for five days for a reward for his
recovery. No reward being offered,
they were afraid to turn him out and
the gas was turned on in his room at
night and he was suffocated.
IT could mention other such cases of
crime committed in the castle and dis
cussed in my presence, but these are
sufficient, except one, and that was of
Annie Williams. The cause Of her kill
ing, as explained by Holmes, was that
one of the girls must be put out Of the
way and that he could manage Minnie
easier than he could Annie. Minnie
Williams was crazy in love with
Holmes and she was jealous of her sis
ter, as Holmes was paying her some at
tention too, and he took particular
pains to increase her jealousy to work
her up to the point of doing the deed
to get Annie Williams out of the Way.''
Allen concluded by saying that every
word IN his statement was true and
that he did not make it to secure a par
don; that he knew Governor Clark toe
we'll to believe that he would issue q
pardon unless the evidence would break
Holmes neck.

Known as the "Boston Bamboo" and
 Has Certain Welcome Tonic Effects.
 Anything in the shape of a before dinner appetizer that will ameliorate the deleterious effects of the insidious cocktail must certainly be welcomed as a most desirable newcomer. The drink known as the Boston bamboo can perhaps claim all these advantages
 It is a certain stomachic, unquestion- able in its tonic effects, and, so far as can be discovered, harmless as a beyer- age. The Boston bamboo is an equal mixture of sherry and Italian yer mouth. The vermouth detracts from the softness of the wine, while the sher- ry counteracts the acridness of the bit ters. It might be claimed that yer mouth itself is but a partially dis guised form of absinthe, but this is not the case. All the poisonous qualities of absinthe are absent in well-decocted vermouth, although they are both man. ufactured from the same mother worm wood. There is almost the same pro- portion of alcohol in vermouth as there is in absinthe. but any thinker of the latter will tell you that he fails to get the old familiar sought after effect from the yellow wine of Turin that he

 ket Yesterday. New York, Jan. 91.-The stock market was governed entirely to-day by the rumors current about the conference be. tween the assistant secretary of the treasury and the local and foreign bankers. The conference lasted nearly all day, and at it's conclusion it was understood on the street that a call for public subscriptions for $10O,0O0,0OO per cent. bonds will be issued shortly and that the foreign bankers will take all of the bonds not subscribed for by home investors. The reports had a weak ening effect on the sterling exchanges, and actual rates were reduced about 1-3201-16. Government bonds were also lower at the board. The withdrawals of gold from the sub-treasury were smaller than for some days past.
 Taken altogether more confident feeling prevailed on the belef that the negotiations now going on between the treasury officials and bankers will tend to relieve the financial tension. The greatest improvement was in Manhat- tan, which rose 2M per cent. to 1O9A It was said in the board that the last of big short interest had been covered up to-day.

Lead was also in demand and advanced 1ss to s2A. Missouri Pacific, the grangers, Western Union, Lake Shore, Union Pacific, Northern Pacific preferred Big Four and the coalers scored gains ranging from E to 1A per cent. Tn regard to the coalers it was stated that the subcommittee of sales agents recently appointed to compile statistics for the presidents win com plete their work next week, and that the latter will then be ready to take up the tonnage basis plan. General Electric after an early rise to 31A fell to 29@A.
