FIVE BODIES ARE FOUND.
Removal of the Dead From the
Ruins at DunkirE.

DUNKIRK, N. Y, Dec 16.-Bodies of
five more victims of the normal school
fire were recovered today, making six
that have been taken from the ruins.
Those found today were charred beyond
recognition, as was the same one pre-
viously discovered.
Workmen, while removing the debris,
found the five bodies at the foot of a
fire escape. They were piled across each
other and burned beyond recognition.
A ring upon the finger of one of the
bodies gives a hope that it may be iden-
tilted, but there is nothing by which the
others can possibly be distinguished. 1t
is proposed that all be buried in one
grave and that it be marked by one mon
ument to be placed in the Fredonta ceme-
tary in memory of the victims
District Attorney Greene and Coroner
Blood will begin a rigid investigation at
once, which will inquire into all matters
connected with the structure of the build
ing and the fire.

SERIOUS HIGH 1t P[KIN
BRITISH MINISTER HAS DEMANDED
AN IMPORTANT CHANGE IN ~
POWERS JOINT NOTE
WASHINGTON IS MYsTIFIED
Officials There Can Not Figure
Out What the DIhi-
Guilty Can BE
with 1t.

PEKTN, Dec. 16.-Definite instructions
supplementing yesterdays communica-
ton from London have been received bv
Sir Ernest Mason SStoW, the British
minister, and he now demands a 1nodif-
cation of a point in the joint note, Which
the foreign ENJOYS genefally regard as
important. This means further delay as
all the ministers must communicate anew
with their respective governments. Just
what is the nature Of the objection raised
by Great Britain tine ministers decline to
say, but they admit that the new demand
will involve a good deal more diplomatic
procedure.
SEIZED SOME. CHINESE GUNS.
Yesterday; while private of the Ninth
United States infantry was searching for
two stray mules near Fo-Si- WI, he ar
rived at a town where he found rapid,
fire machine gun, with 5000 rounds of
ammunition, of which, he took charge.
IIe went back to the mail station for
the night, but on retu, ming in the morn
ing, he found two loaded Winchesters,
two other magazine rifles and / ,100 rounds
of ammunition. When leaving the town
he was fired upon, but he did not return
the fire. A village five miles southeast OF
lTo Si-Wu has been fired upon by Chinese
twice, within half a milo of the mail sta

paratory to its presenta ton to the Chi

formation on the subject as nothing has
been@heard from Mr. Conger on the mat
ter for some DAYS The Understanding
here has been that the joint note as
agreed upon by the envoys was in the
main satisfactory to the British govern
ment. It simply desired a slight
amendment, said to be in the nature of 4
more change in style of language to be
used rather than any amendment to the
scope of the agreement. This did not
conflict with any of the principles held
out for by this government. Such being
F; the case it was confidently expected the
signature Of the British minister would
be promptly affixed to the agreement and
the note pres 9nted to the Chinese at an
early day.

Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1900-07-13

The false step Of four years ago
has led to another that is worse,
and which, from the standpoint of
sober reason, must be regarded as
suicidal. As for the rest of the
platform the convention gave it
little attention, and it is worth
little. The talk about Imperialism
is can't. None exists, except in
the imagination of demogogues.
The plank on trusts is inferior to
that in the Republican platform,
and the latter means something
practical. Hundreds Of thousands
of Democratic voters will repudiate
the work Of the Kansas City con-
vention. Bryan turned a face Of
stone to their overtures, and they
will be as obdurate in November
as he in July.

T. S. Edison Dead.

just before midnight Wednes-
day T. S. Edison breathed his
last at the Deaconess hospital in
Grand Forks. The end was not
unsupported, as the physicians
had given up all hopes Of his re-
covery Sunday. Nevertheless,
when the sad news was whispered
around, it came as a. shock to
many. The deceased-was one of
the most prominent residents Of
Grand Forks county, and no one
in the county had a larger circle
of friends or fewer enemies, For
years he had been prominent in
business, political and social cir
cles, and his death leaves a vacan-
cy that cannot be filed. It is safe
to say that no man in the county
was more generally respected and
beloved, and this fact was .eviden-
ced by the crowds of friends that
lowered near his bedside since he
was taken to the hospital a few
short days ago. His family was
all at his bedside when he breathed
his last, as we'll as many of his
friends, all of whom had chung to
the vain hope that he would per
haps rally at the last and perhaps
recover. He belonged to several
prominent fraternal organizations,
under the auspices of which the
funeral services were held.

THE OLD FIGHT GAN

en- issue Ire adopted by the Dem
ocratic party for another trial,
says the St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat. Again 16 to l is to be the
battle cry, and an attempt to de-
base the currency the issue urged
upon the people. It is a fact ap-
parent to all that a majority of
delegates in the Democratic con-
vention were opposed to a distinct
declaration for the old ratio. But
the grip upon the party of Bryan
and Of Populism is too powerful
to be relaxed. The convention
dared not dispute anything that
Bryan demanded. 1t dared not
break with him. It put into the
platform every word that he want
ed there and some that it knew
would lead to another crushing
condemnation by the people. But
with merciless indifference to the
existence of the Democratic party
as a separate organization Bryan
bent it to his will. He held over
it his nomination by another party
and his purpose to run in any
event on a platform of his own
choosing. Knowing it's own
weakness, the Democratic party
shrank from an attempt to stand
alone on it's merits. Conquered
by Populistic principles in 1896 it
goes down before them again, and
its fall is far more humiliating
than before.
1t is vain to pretend that there
is any issue in the platform Of the
same significance as l6 to l
That plank alone kept the conven.
ton in a state Of high tension fol
two days and through an all-night
session of the committee on reso'
Iutions. Hundreds Of messages
went to Nebraska imploring the
master Of the party to yield or
this point. He refused, and Sc
the platform demands "the imme
diate restoration of the free ane

Is to l without waiting for the ait
or consent of any other nation.
But for the prolonged agony owe
that plank the convention woul
have moved through its work with
out a jar. There was no othe
point of contest. Bryan was aske
for no other concession. But h,
had the Democratic party, or sue
remnant of it as remains, at hi
feet, and he exacted from it the III
most subordination to his ow
political views and Populist af6lis

every state that rejected free coir

in November, and there are state
that supported it beforethat regar
it as a lost and d~eservedly beate

which it was urged four years az

standard is an accomplished fac
based upon a splendid ~prosperit!
