desire OF the administration TO have him in
Washington, where he will be able 10 ad-

the Eastern problem. He will leave Pekin
for the United States as soon as naviga-

In connection with Mr.. RockhilTs recall
the suggestion has been made that Mr.
Conger be ordered home In his stead and
Mr.. Rockhill be left to conduct the negotia-
tions to a conclusion. Much as the Ru-
thorfties would like TO have some one other
than Conger at Pekin, IT Is apparent that
the pressure of missionary influence and
congressional friends of the Minister will
cause his retention.

REAR STAKE CLAIM,
Suit Brought to Establish Title to the
Property.

properly.
The Rear Stake mining claim was made
the subject of a suit to determine own
ership under two locations filed in the
district court today, in which Samuel
Sunwalt sues Alexander J. Lewis and
others.
The complaint says that the plaintiff
has owned the claim in part since 1892,
when he claims to have located it with
B. w. Cordell and Tom Malone.
He alleges that he bought the inter-
ests Of his co-locators afterward. The
claim is in Summit Valley mining dis
.trict, and he says he has done repre-
sentation work upon it ever since it was
located, the work amounting to $1,000,
the sum of 500 having been expended
upon it every year.
The complaint says that the defend
ants claim to own the ground under
location made this year under the name
of the Lewis fraction lode, and that in
last September they made application for
a patent to the United States land Of
flee on the claim.
1t says further that the plaintiff has
filed his adverse claim in the land office,
and has begun the suit now filed within
the 80 days fixed by law.
Sunwalt asks that he be decreed the
owner of the ground and the defendants
be adjudged to be without right to it.

GOT A SLOW START
DIFFICULTY IN GETTING FELONY
TRIALS UNDER WAY.
LAWYERS AND OTHERS DELAY
Counsel for johnson, Charged With
Assault, in Uuress-Material Wit
ness in Howard Burglary
Case Not at Hand.

Two felony cases were set for trial in
Judge McClernan's court this morning,
but when they were called there was
difficulty in getting them started. one
was the case of II. O. Howard, charged
with burglary, and one the case of j.
b. Johnson, charged with assault in the
first degree.
The Howard case was called first. AS
sistant County Attorney Mackel an
nounced that he had prepared to try the
johnson case, but knew nothing about
the Howard case, anu he was the only
officer of the county attorneys office
in court.
Then it was suggested by the court
that Johnson's counsel, Ed Booth, would
not be able, in all probability, to be
in court. He was not present, and 1T
was understood that he was in con-
tempt of another court.
Attorney barrow, his partner, was
present, however, and Mr.. Mackel APP
pealed to the latter for information con-
corning Mr.. Booth.
What have you got to say, Mr.. OAR
row, about Mr.. Booths not being here?"
Mr.. Mackel inquired.
"Well, I don't know whether he will
be here or not" Mr. barrow said. 1.-THE
last thing I heard of MIN he was in
JAIL"
A smile followed this, and then Mr..
Mackel suggested that the court had the
power to order the sheriff to bring Mr..
Booth into court to defend his client,
regardless of the contempt matter.
Judge McClernan did not see fit to act
on the suggestion, but instructed the as
sistant county attorney to call up the
county attorneys office and prosecute
an inquiry as to whether it could not try
Howard. After short interval, Assistant
County Attorney Yancey appeared and
announced that he was ready to try
Howard.
The witnesses were called by name
then, and it developed that a witness
material to Howard had not answered
tn. summons, and Attorney Thresher,
Howard's counsel, was unwilling to pro-
coed without him. A bench warrant was
issued for the witness and deputy sher-
If sent after him.
well, Wen wait awhile" the court
said, and another delay followed.
The witness was presently brought in,
and then the flag was dropped and the
trial started down the quarter stretch.

The Brotherhood of Nations.

How much nearer to each other the
nations of the world seem to be today,
and really are today, than was the case
a few decades ago. When weeks and
months were required for communica-
ton between the United States and
Europe, the countries of the old world
appeared to be a long way off. Now the
circumference Of old earth is belted with
telegraph and cable lines in every pos
sible direction. What happens today in
Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia. South
America, and the great islands of the
sea, Is made known to us tomorrow by
great newspapers like The Chicago Rec
ord-Herald, whose foreign news cores
spondents are located in every important
city in the world outside of the United
States. In addition to it's own staff cor
respondents The Record-Herald enjoys
the foreign news service of The New
York Herald, famous for many years for
the reliability of Its foreign news. and
also of The New York Tribune. and of
that great cooperative newsgathering
organization, The Associated Press. No
other daily newspaper in America pos
sesses facilities SO varied and extensive
for covering the news Of all nations.

The plaintiff alleges that the tax deeds
referred to are void for the reason that
the county treasurer did not publish his
delinquent tax list as required by law
in 1893; also because he did not file
his delinquent tax list or affidavit OF
publication for the year of 1892.
Andrews asks that the defendants may
be required to set forth their claim to
the lots so that all adverse claims may
be determined by the court, and that
the court adjudge him the owner of the
lots and that the defendants be en-
Joined for ever asserting any claim to
them.
