Evening Herald: Some papers
we're filed Saturday in the office of
the register of deeds by which the
Stevenson Iron Mining company
acquire the neH ST the SEA- of Sec
ton 7, 1921, known as the Commo-
dore mine. A peculiar feature of
the deal is that the property is
leased from different interest, and
the terms in each of the two leases
are different. Both leases run to
Corrigan, Mckinney & Co., of Cleve-
land, and they are assigned by them
to the Stevenson Iron Mining COM
pany. One lease, covering a half
interest, is from r. NJ. Bennett, of
Minneapolis, and John NJ. Longyear
of Marquette, and it provides that
they are to get 1272 cents for each
ton mined, which is at the rate of
% cents per ton. A minimum of
$1,000 per year is to be paid. If ore
is mined the rental of $1,000 per year
is to be forthcoming in the shape
of rental. It is provided that the
lessees are to mine out all the ore
that is reached that assays over 81
per cent metallic iron, regardless Of
the amount of phosphorus, in other
words, the lessees are not to dis
criminate against one class of ore.
The other half interest is leased
from the West Missabe Land COM
pany, with the provision that the
ore is to be hauled owe the Eastern
Minnesota railroad. The royalty is
to be 20 cents per ton on a mimi
mum output of 100000 ton per an
mum. If more than that is mined
the royalty is to be 171@ cents per
ton up to 100000 tons. Over that
and up to 10000 tons it is to be Is
cents per ton, and over 10000 tons
it is to be 12% cents per ton. 1t is
expressly provided that the con-
tract is based on the present ore
freight rate of 80 cents to the dock,
and that if the rate is ever lowered,
any reduction below 60 cents per
ton is to be added to the royalty.

London, Sept. 18.-There is no addi-
tional news from China. The Daily
Graphic asserts that all powers have
accepted Ii Hung Chang and Will prob
ably accept him and Prince Ching as
negotiatOrs. 1t says also the powers
have agreed to insist that a central
government satisfactory to the powec6
shall be established in China, and that
full reparatiOn shall be eXaCted for at
tacks upon the legations. No cOmmun-
icatiOns, however, have yet passed be
tween the powers concerning indemIi-
ties; and Berlin dispatch says it is
believed there that DR.. Mumm Won
Schwartzenstein, German minister,
will purposely delay negotiations until
Marshal Won WaIdersee has arrived.
Ii Has Full Power.
Washington, Sept. 18.-The Chinese
minister has received uIspatch from
Prince Ching, dated Pekin, Sept. 8,
stating that he has been clothed with
full authority, together with Ii Hung
Chang, to negotiate peace and request
ing Minister Wa to ask the secretary Of
state to instruct Minister COnger to
open negotiations at once.
1t is probable that no immediate re-
spouse to the request for instructions
to Mr. COnger can be given, as Prince
Chings request will have to be laid be-
fore the president and sufficient time
given to consider the question Of his
credentials, as well as the desirability
of proceeding at once. Moreover, it is
likely that Minister Conger's judgment
as to when the actual negotiations
should open will govern to a consider
able extent.
The war department has received the
following message from Gen. Chaffee
who is still at Pekin:
Russian commander assures me he
has ordered repair material from Port
Arthur, ViadivOstock and United
States, and that he feels assured rail
ways will be repaired in two months.
Need fifty storm flags and 5000 more
small flags; latter required for Chinese
houses to show our protection"
Ii at Tientsin
London, Sept. 18.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai says that Ii Hung
Chang has arrived at Tientsin.
The Pel1in correspondent Of The Dai-
ly News says that the assassin of Baron
Won Ketteler has been shot.
The Morning POSTS representative
there says that the question is being
discussed of sending relief to a few
British, French and American engi-
neers who are besieged in a city 200
miles north of Pekin. Shanghai ad-
vices say that a house has been en-
gagged there for Count Won Waldersee,
who is expected to arrive next Satur-
day. Chinese officials estimate that
10000 disbanded Chinese soldiers, by
the simple eXpedient of turning their
coats, managed to remain behind in
Pekin.
LII Hung Chang has been notified
from Berlin that he must submit his
credentials to the German minister at
Shanghai who will then communicate
with Emperor William and await the
result.

NEWS IN BRIEF.

The census bureau announces the
population Of Oshkosh at g. 64 against
22,830 in 1890, an increase of 1886 pei
cent.
The New York bank statement:
Surplus reserve, decreased S5,220,075;
loans, increased s7,O22,6OO; deposits
decreased, 1903, 500. The banks hold
S2O836.175 in excess of legal require
ments.
At Shanghai the news of the contem-
plated withdrawal of the allies from
Pekin caused a sensation and is re-
garded as a great mistake which is
likely to eventuate in disturbances in
other parts of China where the people
are certain to attribute the evacuation
to defeat of the European forces.
Lord Roberts reports to the British
war Office from MachadodOrp that
French has occupied Barberton with
slight opposition, the enemy being
completely surprised. Eightytwo off,
GERS and men who were prisoners were
released. A hundred beers with
mausers, a quantity Of ammunition,
three locomotives and other rolling
stock were captured.
The prairies around Hitchcock, Tex
as, are dotted with bodies of the dead.
Scores are unburied as the bodies are
TOO badly decomposed to handle and
The water too deep to admit Of burial
PestiIence is feared here too. The
stencil is something awful. Dispatches
announce the finding Of the bodies Of
Ed. Jalonick and one Of his children.

ON THE RAIL

There is q prevailing opinion in local
railway circles that the Northwestern
and Milwaukee and St. Paul roads have
entered into an agreement to refrain
from building into one another's terri
tory. During the past year these two
companies have been very active in in
vading each others fields with new
lines. The Northwestern has been par
ticuIarly aggressive in it's attempts to
get the better of the Milwaukee and st.
Paul. Officers Of neither company will
affirm the report that an agreement has
been entered into not to build any more
track in competition. Up to a year
ago, it is said these two companies
were parties to such a compact. Not
Withstanding the reports that these
two roads, together with other systems
operating in Minnesota, have cOmprO-
missed with the railroad commission OF
that state on the demand of that body
for rate reductions in grain and mer-
chandise, official denial is made by
officers of both systems. The repre-
sentatives of these companies say the
demands Of the commission are arbi-
trary and may not be accepted without
i'll affects on the earnings. The COM
mission demands a % per cent. reduc-
ton in rates.

M'KINLEYS AT WEDDING.
President and Wife at Marriage of
FavOrite Niece.

Somerset, Pa, Sept 13.-The Nc
Kinley-Baer wedding, which last even
ing united the lives of Miss Mabel
Mckinley, only child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Abner Mckinley, and DR.. Hermaneus
L. Baer, was perhaps the most elegant
from many points Of veiW ever wit
messed in this state. The presence of
the president and Mrs. William Nc
KinIey, uncle and aunt of the bride,
together with prominent people from
various parts of the United States,
gave dignity and tone to the affair.
The appointments were superb and the
gowns Of the ladies remarkable for
their beauty. The gown of the bride,
of which so much has already been
written, was a masterpiece of the
dressmaker's art. Col w. c. Brown
of New York was master Of ceremo-
MES. The ceremony began promptly
at o'clock in the drawing room of
the Mckinley residence. The bride,
leaning on the arm of her father, was
met by the groom between the draw
ing room door and the marriage bell
in the bay window under which DR..
Morgan performed the ceremony.
Abner Mckinley gave the bride away.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the
groom kissed the bride and the first to
extend their congratulations were
President and Mrs. Mckinley. They
were followed by Mr.. and Mrs. ADner
Mckinley, parents of the bride. The
only official recognition in connection
with the wedding transpired in the
president and wife embracing their
favorite niece and husband before the
parents of the bride had done so. The
wedding dinner was served in tent
on the lawn. The wedding trip viii

be any contention in a political sense

leaders feel, and they want their men
to feel, and they want the public to
think this is a fight for human liberty.
It would be nonsensical, it would be
cruel for anyone to inject politics.
Father Phillips and President Mitch

Says Strike Cannot Last.
New York, Sept. 1S.-Robert NJ Oily
plant, president Of the Delaware and
Hudson Cana company, said:
I DO no. believe that the strike can
last or that it will permanently affect
the price OF coal in this city. There
are 10000 men who go down to work
N the mines OF the anthracite coal re-
gions. In their recent statement
the labor agitators declared that they
had but $1,000 in their treasury. This
would mean that they can pay off our
men who go out at their order the
sum Of so cents for one day. This will
not support a great strike very long. -
Wyoming Valley Idle.
Wilkesbarre, Sept. 1S.-Every mine
in the Wyoming valley, with the ex-
ceDtion of one was closed yesterday by
the miners strike. The exception was
the colliery operated by the West Enc
Coal company at Mocanaqua. The mel
there refused to go out, saying they
were satisfied with the present condi-
ton Of things. The total number OF
men idle in this valley is a little over

WORST IN YEARS.
Storm Works Great Havoc to Shipping
on Lakes.

Cleveland, Sept 13.-The tail-end Of
the West Indian hurricane, which
swept over Lake Erie, proved the most
disastrous storm of recent years. AT
least two vessels We're sunk, carrying
down with them several persons, and
a number of other vessels reached port
in badly damaged condition. The
steamer John B. Lyon, valued at $780,
900, fOundered off Conneaut, Ohio, and
all but two of her crew of sixteen were
lost. The schooner Dundee sank Of
this port and one was drowned. The
steamer City of Erie with 800 passen-
gers aboard, left Buffalo and when of
the port of Conneaut encountered a
tidal wave which did considerable
damage. She arrived here ten hours
late but with all her passengers safe.
The steamer Northland left Buffalo and
reached Detroit being unable to make
the port at Cleveland.
