Heretofore the Santa Fe Pa
cific railroad has held in force
to points in Arizona the trans
continental minimum freight
rate. That is, no package
however small would be handled
for less than about 81, says the
Coconino Sun. This gives all
the small business to the ex-
press companies. The Santa
F'e has now rescinded this rule
and has made a 25c minimum
to all points along it's lines in
Arizona and New Mexico. The
effect will be to allow shippers
to send by freight a good many
small packages of fruit, vege
tables and other merchandise
at much less cost of transpor-
tation. 1t will no doubt great
ly increase business along the
line from Los Angeles east.

Senator Henry M. Teller on

"The secretary of the interior
has no right to lease the forest
reserves nor any other land of
the United States. Any at
tempt to compel citizens to pay
rental for stock on the public
land, whether forest reserves or
other land, is a gross usurption
of power and not authorized by
any existing law, and no citizen
ought to allow himself imposed
on by such an attempt. The
sentiment of congress is against
leasing public lands, and no
bill of that character can be
passed through congress.

BRYAN WAS WARMLY
GREETED AT HOBOKEN
Democracy's Leader Given a
Grand Ovation In Jersey.
SPEAKS TO LARGE CROWDS

Addresses One Audience at the The
alter and Another at the Depot.
Army Menaces Liberty, He Says.
Makes Speech at Harrison.
HoBoKEN, N. j., Oct. 26. The second
day of Mr. Bryan's campaign tour of
New Jersey began here today with a
meeting in the Lyric theater. When
Mr. Bryan stepped upon the platform
he appeared somewhat fatigued as the
result of his arduous labors yesterday,
but as his speech progressed he soon re-
gained his wonted vivacity. He said he
believed that when the Democratic prin-
ciples as now presented were understood
they would be received as favorably in
the east as in the west. He then con-
trasted his reception in New Jersey at
this time with the reception of 1898.
Mr.. Bryan took strong ground on the
question of a large army. He said that
this country was less liable to dissensio1
than any other, on account of the char
acter of the population.
He predicted that if the recent in
crease of the army to 100000 was in
dorsed next November there would con-
tinue to be increases until the armed
force would be sufficient to completely
awe the people.
Taking up the question of the Philip
pines Mr.. Bryan gave what he said was
Republican speech in support of the
Republican policy. This presentation
was as follows:
"'We are very sorry we have got the
Philippine islands; we did not intend to
get them, but they were thrown into our
lap, and it is our duty to keep them.
God commands it, and it will pay. -
Mr. Bryan then related the Biblical
story of Naboth's vineyard and said;
II wish that on the Sunday before
election every preacher in the United
States would take as his text that story
of Naboth's vineyard, and l will tell
you how they would treat it. Every OPP
ponent of imperialism would condemn
Ahab for wanting the vineyard and
every imperialistic preacher would con-
denim Naboth for not letting Ahab have

sending of reinforcements was decided
on late last night, after the first detach-
ment of troops had come into collision
with the strikers, resulting In nine OF
their men being wounded. The Scots
were practically at the mercy OF the
strikers, as Colonel Ibbotson was unable
to find magistrate who was willing to

content themselves with firing their re-
volvers into the air. In the meantime
the men were the targets for fus1llade

PRINCE TuAN IS AN EXILE.
Kiang vi Dies of Illness, While Yu
Hsien Suicides.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The Chinese
minister has received a message stating
that Kiang vi, member of the cabinet
with Yung Lu and one of the intense
anti-foreign leaders, whose punishment
was demanded by the powers, died of
illness Oct. Is, and that Yu Hsien. the
late governor of Shan-Si, who is said to
have been responsible for the death of
many missionaries, has committed sui.
eide by swallowing gold leaf.
Mr.. WI regards this act as the result of
the disfavor with which the high officials
have been received by the throne. The
death of Kang vi Is an important event,
as he was one Of the ringleaders whose
punishment was demanded by the pow
ers. He held the position Of assistant
grand secretary and president Of the
civil board and was also one Of the six
Chinese statesmen making up the privy
council or cabinet, which Is the body
nearest the throne.
Following the demands Of the powers
for his punishment an edlct was issued
handing him over to the board of cen.
sors to consult and decide upon a
penalty for his misdoing. The same
edict ordered the punishment Of Prince
Tuan, but it was thought that Tuan g
influence secured lenienoy for Kiang VI
and others. The dispatch shows, how
ever, that Kang vi himself recognized
that there was no hope Of imperial favor.
Although the dispatch to Minister WI
says only that Kang VI ''died" Oct. 10,
it is thought that his death was the
natural disgrace which has overtaken
the anti-foreign and Boxer leader.
Governor Yu's method Of suicide, by
swallowing gold leaf, is peculiar to
China. It is a means by which high
personages take their life, the gold leaf
being representative Of their nigh STA
ton. The leaf forms q ball In the
canals of the throat and bringing death
from suffocation.
Minister Wu's advices show also that
Prince Tuan hos been visited with Sc
we're censure from the throne and to
such an extent that 1t would be no sur
prise If he followed the course Of Kang
VI and Yu. He has been prevented
from accompanying the imperial court
to Slang. Flu and remains at Shan-Si, cut
off from further influence on the throne.
It is expected he will be banished,
which, to q prince Of the blood, is worse
than decapitation, and under the Oil
nese idea of propriety suicide y likely
to be his end. Minister WI laid his
dispatches before Secretary Hay.

sURRENDERs HER PROPERTY
Mrs. Hart Effects Settlement With

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The Elizabeth

William Schrieber stole a little over
$780, 900 in two years, has made settle
ment with Mrs Annie Hart, upon whom
much of the money was spent. By the
terms of the settlement Mrs. Hart has
made a general assignment to the bank
of all of the property of which she was
possessed, except the household furni-
ture, her wearing apparel, as much of
her jewelry as she can prove was not
given to her by Schrieber. The prop
erty turned over is valued at $4,000.
In consideration of this assignment
the bank has executed to Mrs. Hart
general release of any and all claims it
has made against her.

SCRANTON. Pa, Oct. 26.-There is
great rejoicing today all through Scran-

calling off of the anthracite miners
strike. The order has had the effect of
stimulating the companies who had not
already posted notices agreeing to adj
vance wages 10 per cent to do so, and to-
day the Pennsylvania Coal company
sent out its official notice to its miners
at Dunmore, Avoca and Pittston. Like
action was also taken by the Moosic
Mountain Coal company.
Fifty-three thousand men and boys
between these points will resume work
on Monday. What the Susquehanna
Goal company, which is controlled by
the Pennsylvania, will do as to its Nam
ticoke mines is as yet unknown, but its
superintendent was full party to the
agreement made several days ago.
