The duke started across the floor,
and for some moments he continued
pacing to and fro. When he stop

with an energetic movement, and.
looking the priest sternly in the
face, he said:

then.
Olga bowed low as he clutched the
order, and, having once more prom
ised obedience, he hurried from the
imperial presence. As he passed
out through the wide court he walk
ed slowly and thoughtfully and with
his head bowed. But soon he start
ed up, his hands came together with
an emphatic movement, and he NOV
ed on more quickly. He had gained
the street and approached small
court within which stood a house
of entertainment, where he stopped.
In few moments more a man came
out from the inn. and as soon as he
had satisfied himself that the new
conner was the duke he spoke.
"Olga, is't you?"
''Yes."
Ii needed but a single glance in
the dim starlight to recognize the
form Of the humpbacked priest. He
walked quickly to where the duke
stood, and the two moved off to-

"Aye, and a dangerous one, too,

duke, with a dubious shake of his
head.
"Ah! What has he done:"
"Why, he has been engaged in va
rious robberies to my certain knowl-
edge, and only few evenings since
he knocked down one of our holy
priests and robbed him of all he
had. He is at the head of a numer-
ous band OF des2eradoes."

LEGGED TO HAVE TAKEN DOWN
THE DANGER SIGNAL.
PLACED BY THE PIT BOSS.
ONE MORE DEATH AMONG THE
VICTIMS RAISES THE NUMBER
TO EIGHTEEN.

WEST NEWTON, Pa, June 1.-THE
death Of Harvey Beveridge at the Nc
Keesport hospital last night brings the
total number of fatalities of the Port
Royal mine disaster up to eighteen.
The last rescuing party entered the
Inflated mine shortly before midnight
and explored it for a distance of about
5000 feet The body of David James
was found this morning between Nos.
10 and II entries.
The body was taken into the black
smith shop, where it was identified by
a rag tied around the little toe of the
left foot. The flesh was burned from
the face in several places and the body
looked as though it had met nearly the
full force of the second explosion.
Another explosion took place at 4
O'Clock in No. 2 shaft 1t sent up a
whirlwind of oil, dust and smoke and
proved conclusively that the gas was
still active.
Coroner Wynne commenced an in
quiry this afternoon. Only two wit
nessss were examined when adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow.
Tom Gleason, pit boss, In his testi-
mony, said the man responsible for the
explosion is still in the mine. He tes-
tilted that he had put up a danger sig
nal which Assistant Pit Boss Hadley
tore down later, and told the men all
was safe. The explosion followed a
short time afterward Gleason prom
ised to have at the inquest tomorrow
two witnesses to corroborate his state
ment.
Rev. Father Carroll. of Smithton, in
sists that some of the men in the burn
ing mine are yet alive and asked to-
night that he be permitted to lead
relief party
Il have four experienced miners
from the coke regions he said, who
will go into the shaft with me. / will
go one hundred yards ahead and will
bring out the men alive or dead
Father Carroll has offered reward
of $4,000 to any one that will recover
the bodies and rescue the entombed,
The authorities have advised Father
Carroll against going into the mine.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 12.-
Representative Dayton, of West Vir-
ginia, saw the President to-day to de-
liver a message from Senator Elkins
regarding the judgeship of the new
Federal district
Senator Elkins and Senator Scott,
who are out of the city, will be here by
the end of this week or the first of next
and will present a candidate to the
President for the judgeship.
1t is believed that the contest will be
settled early next week
In well informed circles the ap-
pointment is said to be almost sure to
go to one Of three, Elliott Northcott,
Malcolm Jackson or Taylor Vinson
Representative Dayton himself has
been spoken of but the trouble is that
he does not reside in the new district
and the many able lawyers of the dis
trict would object to an outside man
being appointed, considering it re-
Fiction.
Mr.. Dayton would have powerful
backing for Judge Jacksons seat in
case of the retirement of the latter who
was eligible to retire a number OF
years ago.

OVER THE CHARGE AND WIG
OROUsLY DENYING.

Special to the Register
CHARLESTON, W. Va, June 12.-
Politicians throughout the State are
much exercised over card published
in the current issue of the West Vir-
ginia Bar, just out, over the signature
of Hon. c. D. Merrick, a prominent at
torney of Parkersburg, in which he al
leges that unfair means have been re-
sorted to by ex-governor Atkinsons
friends to secure the endorsement of the
bar of the State in behalf of his candi-
dacy for the federal judgeship of the
new southern district.
Merrick states that letters purporting
to have been signed by him, as presi-
dent of the West Virginia Bar Associa-
ton, were sent broadcast ever the State
to prominent Republicans asking them
to secure signatures to an enclosed petit
ton to President Mckinley, endorsing
Atkinson for the judgeship of the south
ern federal district of West Virginia.
He also states that fraudulent letter
heads were used so as to give the letters
an official appearance. He then denies
having signed or sent such letters, and
in the strongest terms pronounces them
forgeries.
Governor Atkinson is out of the city
and cannot be seen, but his former pri-
vate secretary, General Boggs, says that
no such letters were sent out by the
ex-Governor's friends or were ever sent
with his knowledge.
Atkinson has the support of more
than three-fourths of the entire bar OF
the State, Gen. Boggs says, but all en-
dorsements were voluntarily given
His friends say the card has been is
sued to injure his candidacy, which has
been given new impetus the last two
days by a statement that he will be
named next Monday for the position in
question.

BATILESH|P ILLINOIS
an EASY WORLD 3EATER.
DEMONSTRATES THAT SHE IS THE
FASTEST VESSEL OF HER
CLASS AFLOAT.
MADE 1871 KNOTS AN HOUR
FOR FOUR CONSECUTIVE HOURS,
TURNED IN TWICE HER
LENGTH

BOSTON, June 12.-With the proud
distinction of being the fastest battle
ship In America and the speediest of
her class in the world the new sea
fighter Illinois lies at anchor in Presi-
dents Roads tonight, after a most sue
cessful trial. Over the government
course from Cape Ann to Cape Por-
poise and return, distance of Sc nauti-
cal miles, she raced to-day under the
watchful eyes of United States naval
representatives, and established a new
record by maintaining an average speed
of 1871 knots for four consecutive
hours. Not only did she demonstrate
that she was faster than any warship of
her size afloat, but she proved her abil-
lty to turn upon an enemy with extra
ordinary quickness. by describing a
complete circle within 300 yards, or
little more than twice her length, in
three minutes and ten seconds. While
ploughing through the sea at full speed.
Steadiness and reserve power charac-
terized the performance of the ship
throughout the severe test. The work
of her engines was smooth and even.
and the records of the day showed but
one-tenth of knot difference in speed
between the northern run and the re-
turn. The machinery easily met every
requirement and not an accident of any
kind niarred the success of the day.
Rear Admiral Sampson was aboard
unofficially, and Rear Admiral Evans.
who acted as president of the trial
board, as well as the other naval Off
GERS who participated in the trial, were
thoroughly pleased with the new cham
pion as she steamed back to her an
chorage with broom at her masthead.
The officials of the Newport News Ship
building Company. whose three years
of labor had reached such a happy. eli
max. were enthusiastically congratu-
lated.

JACKSONVILLE FIRE

Made Losses That Caused the Pacific
Insurance Company to Suspend.
NEW YORK, June 12.-As a result
of losses sustained in the Jacksonville
fire, one New York fire insurance COM
pany which has been operating since
1851, retired to-day from active bust
ness. When the Florida loss was re-
ported it was said that the Pacific Fire
Insurance Company, of New York, had
been hit hard, although the exact
amount was not known. 1t developed
to-day, however, that the company's
claims as result of that one fire ag-
gregated $4,000 and that late last
night the companys risks were rein
sured with the West Chester Fire In
surance Company, of New York.
