however, did not become O matter Of
public notoriety until the past spring
when he was compelled to abandon al
series Of joint debates arranged with
ex-Secretary Hoke Smith by reason OF
the advice of his physician that It'll
would imperil his life for him to CON-
tinue the debate, which had attracted
great state as we'll as national interest!
by reason Of the fact that it involved
the position of the Democratic party Of;
the state on the silver question as we'll
as the senatorship from Georgia, for
which the ex-speaker was an active
candidate. The silver men won their
fight and Mr.. Crisp would have been
the next senator from Georgia. He
was forceful speaker, q man of great
tact and possessed of other qualities
that fitted him for leadership in q
parliamentary assemblage. His first
prominence in national affairs came
from the skill with which he led his
party in several warm election con-
tests. The prestige led to his election
to the speakership after q memorable
canvass. His chief opponent was Rog-
er Q. Mills of Texas.
AS speaker Mr.. Crisp was fair but
firm. His rulings have been upheld;
and though sometimes they were the
subject of considerable criticism from
his political opponents he always COM
manded their respect. He was pro-
nounced advocate of free silver and
on one occasion his casting vote as
speaker saved the defeat Of free
coinage bill. On the other hand it
was largely due to his firmness in
ruling that passed the Sherman silver
repeal law through the house, his rul-
ing defeating formidable filibuster-
ing movement led by Mr.. Bland of
Missouri. Mr.. Crisp had been in a san
itarium for five weeks with malarial
fever.
He was born in England Jan. Is,
1916, while his parents were there on
q visit.

SUN VAT SEN RELEASED.
Lord Salisbury Calls Down the Chi
neac Minister

Lord Salisbury Calls Down the Chi
nesc Minister.
London, Oct. 25.-Sun Vat Sen, the
Chinese physician who was kidnapped
and kept prisoner in the Chinese le-
cation on the charge of having been
engaged in conspiracy to overthrow
the Manchu dynasty, was liberated to-
day after Lord Salisbury had sent the
Chinese minister note demanding
the release of the prisoner.
The marquis of Salisbury, after read
ing number of affidavits in the case.
sent strongly worded letter to the
Chinese envoy, pointing out that the
method adopted by the legation in ar
resting Sun Vat Sen was distinctly not
needed, as the courts were open to the
Chinese officials to obtain any criminal
for legal purposes. The premier said
he could not fail to point out that the
act savored of unfriendliness. as a
seeming violation of the right Of asyl-
UNI to which England was committed
by every tradition and belief, and he
asked the envoy to Immediately re-
lease the imprisoned Chinaman, and
SO avoid further unpleasantness.
Sun Vat Sens friend, DR.. Camille,
who first raised the question Of the
Chinaman's imprisonment, went to the
Chinese legation with letter from
the foreign office and not long after
ward he, emerged from side door
with Sun Vat Zen. They entered a
cab and drove to the foreign office.
where Sun Vat Sen made formal
statement of his case. His release was
witnessed by large crowd of people.
A representative Of the Associated
Press was informed that in official
circles the detention of Sun Vat Sen Is
regarded "as nonstrous abuse of the
privilege of legation which could not
be tolerated for q moment"
1t appears that Sir Halliday Mac
Cartney, on receiving the marquis Of
Salisbury's note, went to the bedside
of the Chinese minister, who is in i'll
health. and explained to him that the
marquis of Salisbury insisted upon the
release of Sun Vat Sen. The Chinese
minister thereupon cabled to Pekin for
Instructions, and on the receipt of IN
answer Sun Vat Sen was released.

Section 30 Case Again.

Washington, Oct. 25. = Secretary
Francis to-day rendered another de-
cision in the case of Minnesota against
William Craig, involving q forty-acre
tract of land embraced in the 'Section
3O'' case. The decision to-day was on
a motion filed by the state for a review
of the departmental decision, in which
Secretary Smith affirmed the commits
sioners decision denying the states
application for hearing to determine
whether the land was swamp at the
date Of the grant in 1860. The present
secretary denies the motion:ver brief
". He says there is no specification
Of errors set forth, clearly and con-
cisely," as required by the rules of
practice, and further, that the argu-
ment presented does not raise any new
point Of law or fact presented by the
state which would warrant a review
Of the previous decision. This prob.
ably disposes of the contest over one
of the most valuable tracts of land In
Minnesota which has been before the
interior department in one way and
another fer the past ten years.

Once Robbed aTFain.
Kansas City, Oct. OLA passenger
and express train on the Chicago b
Alton railroad, due here from Chicago
and st. Louis at z O'Clock, was held
up and robbed by four masked men at
Blue Springs cut, between Independ.
ence and Glendale, Mo- The scene Of
the robbery is less than twenty miles
distant from Kansas City. The train
was tagged Mt the entrance to the
cut. While two Of the robbers stood
guard over the passenger coaches the
other two covered the conductor, en-
gineer and fireman with their pistols
and compelled them to 60 to the ex-
press CIR. There the robbers COM
manded the messenger to open the
door of the cur threatening to break In
the door should he refuse. The ex-
press messenger, however, had sur
missed what the trouble was. While
the bandits had been demanding adj
mission he quickly opened the safe,
took out the money packages and
tossed them into chicken coop. When
he finally admitted the robbers to the
car and opened the safe for them the
strong box contained but two or three
packets Of jewelry. Even ut the point
Of the robbers pistols and Winchester
the messenger insisted that he had
carried no currency.
Taking up the very little booty at
hand the outlaws uncoupled the ex-
press car from the coach following It
and then marched their prisoners for
ward to the locomotive, where they
compelled them to sit down on the
bank alongside the track. The leader
climbed into the cab, tried the mir and
the steam and then called to the men
who were back guarding the passenger
coaches to come forward. The outlaws
pulled out, having held UP the train
without firing shot. They ran the
locomotive several miles, to within q
mile of Independence, where they
abandoned it.. 1t was two hours be-
fore the robbery became known. The
passengers on the train did not know
what had caused the delay until nearly
two hours afterward, and amused
themselves during the long stop by
taking straw presidential ballot. AS
soon as party of trainmen could walk
to Independence the alarm was sent
out. A deputy sheriff and posse left
Independence at once, and about the
same time squad Of policemen was
detailed from here and left for the
scene Of the robbery on special train.
1t is thought, however, that the out
laws are now safely out Of the way.
