 '.Besieged American missionaries, one and all of you, so providentially saved from certain massacre, I desire in this hour Of deliverance to express what I know to be the universal sentiment of our diplomatic corps sincere appreciation of and profound gratitude for inestimable help which the native Christians under you have rendered towards our preservation.

TEXAS AUTHORITIES
Determined to Bring Oil Magnates to
 Trial.

Waco, Texas, October 1.-The attention of County Attorney Cullen F. Thomas was called today on his return from St. Louis to the newspaper reports as to the Rocke- feller acquisition. He said:
 '"rhe statements have all come from the other side. The whole thing leaked out in some mysterious way. I notice that Lieu enant-Governor Woodruff claims that he declined to honor the requisition. That is certainly a mistake Early in September last Sheriff John w. Baker of McLennan County and myself went to New York with a requsition from Governor Savers for the Standard Oil trustees.
 "On reaching Albany we found Governor Roosevelt absent from the State. We called on Lieuteant Governor Woodruff and served him with the papers. He requested until the following day for investigation. The Lieutenant Governor then declined to honor the requisiton on the ground that the de- fendants were not in the State of Texas at the time of the commttal of the alleged offense. In reply, cited him the decision of the highest court in the State of New York holding that fugitive from justice meant a fugitive from justice of a State rather than from it's territory.
 Learning that the time of his return to New York was indefinite, I went to St. Louis to lay the matter before Governor Roosevelt I did this after a consultation with Governor Savers. Governor Roosevelt promised to take action later in the matt ter, but has not done so yet It is true that these cases have been long pending, but the antitrust law of Texas has been for six years under assault as unconstitutional. These cases have been once to the highest State courts and twice to the Supreme Court of the United States. The law was once held unconstitutional by a federal judge. It was only within the last few months that a decision was had upholding the law, We now propose to spare no efforts to bring these defendants "a trial"

QUEEN WILHELMINA A
Made Her Own Selection of Illus
 band

Berlin, October 17.-The announcement of Queen Wilhelminas betrothal has been sympathetically received by the whole German press. although nearly all the papers point out that the event is devoid Of political significance. Attention, how ever, is called to the fact that her choice cannot fail to strengthen the ties of friendship between the two countries. Men tion is made of the close relations of lan- guage, race and litera ture, and of the fact that the Queens mother was born in Ger many.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press learns from reliable source that her choice is her own, and against the wishes of the Dutch cabinet who desired her to wait for another year of two, until her judgment was more mature She took the matter into her own hands, When she visited Potsdam year ago everybody ex- pected that her choice would be Prince Joachim Albeccht of Prussia, who paid court to her assiduously, rescued her and the Queens mother from a serious acci- dent while they were driving in the San Souci Park. At that time she seemed to be seriously smitten, the prince being tall, good looking and amiable, but it is under stood that she yielded to the strong objec- tions of the Dutch cabinet, who urged that an alliance with a Prussian prince might bring political entanglements.
 The young Duke is in habits and manner, typical German officer. He has traveled in India and North Cape. Recently he has been much in evidence in Berlin and Pots- dam and in court, military and diplomatic society, where he is appreciated as an inde- fatigable dancer. He is also a fine eques- trian.

DOWIEITES DETERMINED
To Thwarr Efforts to Keep Them Out 1oi
 Mansfield.

Mansfield, O., October 17.-The Doweites are determined to thwart the effort to keep them out of this city and the results may be serious. About three have been deported every day since Sunday Three are known to be hiding here now and have been hold ing secret services. Elder Williams of Benton Harbor, Mich, who was sent out of town on Monday, rode in today on a bicycle and gave the police a lively chase before they captured him. They sent him away on a train, but he said he would return every day, as he had been ordered to do so.
 Deacon Homer nessler of Chicago, Dow ie's aavertising manager, came into town today and went into the court house to find his lawyers The police took him to the railroad depot, and there he was res cued by three deputy sheriffs with writ of habeas corpus. The deputies started for the jail with the elder and a crowd fol- lowed, throwing stones and clubs. Deputy Sheriff Bell and Kessler were struck by stones and severely injured. They reached the jail and Kessler was locked up and several deputies placed on guard. A crowd surrounded the jail, and other crowds secured the city for the hidden elders, equipped with the tar and feathers.

CAMPAIGN IN TIE
 FIFTH DISTRICT Exciting Debate at Rockford Col. Thompson Caught
 the Crowd.

Kellyton. October 17.-(Special)-A thous- and people, representing every beat in Coosa County, heard the most exciting debate of the Fifth District campaign at Rockford today. Col Sumpter Lea spoke in favor of Thompson, and Sam Brewer, solicitor of this district, for Wills Brewer. While Brewer was speaking Colonel Thompson arrived upon the field of battle. Butchers arrival and falling on Napoleon's flank at Waterloo was not more productive of rout than the effect of Thompson's ar rival and speech upon Brewers cohorts. Colonel Thompson has not claimed to be a great orator or anything of the kind but his cyclonic speech today in answer to Brewer has placed his stock as a joint de- bator away above par. The audience fairly went wild at his peroration The effect of his appeal to the Democrats to crush out such rules as have been swayed over the Democrats of this district was wildly ap- plauded
 Col Sumpter Lea congratulated Thomp- son and said his was the most masterful speech he had ever heard. It Is conceded that Thompson will carry Coosa by 300 majority next Saturday.

DEFENSE RESTS IN THE YOUTSEY CASE Some Strong Contradictory Tes-
 timony Introduced. COL. NELSON ON THE STAND The Famous Prisoner Took a Turn for the Worse Late in the Afternoon The Trial Nearing
 an End
COL. NELSON ON THE STAND

Georgetown, Ky, October 17.-The defense in the Youtsey trial closed it's case this aft ernoon and the commonwealth began its re- buttal testimony, which will likely be con- cluded tomorrow at noon. Youtseys condi- tion was materially improved during the day, though he still remained in a stupor most of the time. The feature of the day was the testimony of Colonel Nelson, one of Youtsey's attorneys, who denied that he had told Arthur Goebel and Colonel Camp bell that Youtsey knew enough to hang Governor Taylor but admitted that he did say his client. Youtsey. knew stalething that would be of benefit to the common wealth in it's prosecution of Taylor.
 The prosecution argued from this that if Youtsey thus admitted that he did know something damaging to Taylor, he must necessarily know other details of the trag- edy.
 The defense got in some strong testimony today, squarely contradicting the prosecu- tion's witnesses.

their heralds, carrying their staidards and shields. The crowd cheer loud and long their enthusiasm according to the popular- ty of greatne of the passing leader. But common soldiers do not go unwelcomed. A continuous din of joy Is kept up, swelling and softening like the roar of the ocean. Here a girl in the crowd recognizes a sweethart or husband, and rushes happily, crying, to his arms, marching away proudly by his side A less fortunate woman scrut- inizes the passing faces in vain.
 Another girl runs to greet her hero. but absence has killed his love, and he throws her off. She is carried away fanting. No heed is taken of her bitter sorrow on this day of national jubilaton. The sun shines as brightly, the flags wave as merriy, the crowd cheers as lustily. Finally the war riors have all passed, and trumpeters bray out a message of the Kings arrival. Loud- CT the cheers ring out, more gladsomely the bands play. Standard-bearerS line up be- fore the mob of citizens. Twenty white gowned girls dance before his majesty, waving laurel sprays. Twenty children throw roses in his path Choir boys of Westminster enter singing hymn of thanksgiving. Synbolcal figures of the Kings of England appear. And now the victorious monarch himself! The standards lift their burdens high in the air and wave them triumphantly The crowd fairly yell and jump in their enthusiasm. The flower bearers pelt their King with roses. And In the center sits his-majesty, mounted on his war horse, lowing to his subjects. It Is such scene in beauty and life as is seldom seen in a theater. It carried last nights spectators to such a point of enthusiasm that they cheered with the actors and af- terward applauded and waved their hand kerchiefs for three minutes, demanding speech, which MT. Mansfield refused to make until the plays end.
