COLONIAL CONFERENCE.
Results Satisfactory, but Enforce
ment of Conditions Optional.

Results satisfactory, but Enforce
ment of Conditions Optional.
London, Aug 12.--While the results
of the colonial conference, which ended
yesterday, are generally considered
satisfactory as far as they go, it must
be understood that their enforcement
depends ultimately upon action by the
colonial legislatures and by the i'm
perial ministers whose departments
they concern. In addition to Austral-
asian naval arms, by which the Aus
tralasian contributions are to be large
ly increased on condition that certain
vessels be Differed and manned en-
tirely by Australasians, a general in
crease in colonial naval subsidies was
agreed to. The scheme also provides
that some colonies shall allot part of
their local military forces to imperial
defense in case of emergency, but Can
ada and Australia contented themselves
with agreeing to keep their local forces
in a state of efficiency, relying on vol
unteers in case of imperial need, as
was done in South Africa. The con-
tribution of Cape Colony to the inn
perial navy was fixed at $25O,00O an
nually and Natals at $1S5000.
The preferential tariff arrangement is
in a nebulous condition, depending en-
tirely on future arrangements between
the mother country and each individual
colony, the understanding being that
such arrangements would follow the
general lines of the Canadian tariff.
The foregoing arrangements do not
represent the unanimous opinion of the
conference, but each resolution was
adopted by a ma jority vote.

AFTER BARTHOLIN.
Rewards Stimulate Police to Instant
and Intense Activity.


and Intense Activity.
Chicago, Aug. 12.-Police officials
have been in consultation again to-day
trying to formulate new theories which
may tend to solve the mystery sur
rounding the murders of Minnie Mitch
ell and Mrs. Anne BarthoIin. Spurred
on by offers of reward for arrest of
William j. Bartholin, the son of one
of the murdered woman and the
fiancee of the other, the police in
neighboring towns to-day made
several arrests, but in each case the
the prisoners identity with that of the
suspected murderer could not be
proved.
Working on the hypothesis that the
murderer had a mania for killing, Of
f1cers to-day began systematically to
dig up every inch of the basement IN
the Bartholin house in Calumet ave-
nue.. The cement floor is being
broken up and the ground turned over
to the depth of one foot. Curious
crowds throng the neighborhood of the
now notorious death house, and Of
ficers have been compelled to keep
everybody off the premises save those
who have written permission from the
coroner.
At midnight the police declared that
they had not single reliable clew
to the whereabouts of William Bar
tholin, who is wanted for the killing of
his mother and of Minnie Mitchell.
During the day Bartholin was report
ed from the following places and in
nearly every instance the identification
was positive: st. Joseph. Mich, Elk
hart, Ind, Kenosha, Wis, Doris, Iowa,
Guthrie, Okla
The police are Of the opinion that
Bartholin is still in Chicago, and that
if he has left he has gone to Indian
Territory, where he has friends.

REFORM PAPER APPEARS.
Russian Political Exile Begins His
Crusade 10 Bring About Political
characterization.

Correspondence of the Associated
Press.
st. Petersburg. July 24.-Oswobozh-
denia, the Liberal newspaper establish
ed in Stuttgart by the exile Peter Won
Struve to bring about, the political
emancipation of Russia, has, appeared
in print.
BY far the most important article
is From the Russian Constitutional
lists" This is a carefully elaborated
programme of peaceful revolution and
is apparently the joint product of many
pens. It cites and adopts Minister Won
Plehve's speech on assuming office, in
which he said the situation demands
deeds, not words, and inquiries If he
will continue the ruinous policy of the
last thirty years. All thinking Rus
STA, these writer's proclaim, demand
serious political reforms. They then
proceed to map out a programme. This
programme provides that the first de-
mands must be for:
First. Personal freedom guaranteed
by independent courts, and consequent
ly abandonment of arbitrary arrests
and inquisitions, of administrative
Punishment, extraordinary courts, and
summary trials.
Second. Equality of all before the
law, and consequently abandonment Of
all class, racial, or religious discTimi-
ma tons.
These elementary tights, the pro-
gramme continues, require as guaran-
tees the freedom of the press. including
abolition of the censorship and the re-
sponsibility of the press to the courts
alone the freedom of assamblage and
association, and the right of petition.
The first step in the programme must
be a constituent assembly representing
all classes of the people to work out
an electoral scheme. Legal reforms
would remain to be discussed and
brought about by a representative cleo
tive assembly chosen in accordance
with the expressed determination OF
the constituent assembly. ALI Of this
seems borrowed directly from the
revolutionfsts in France over 10 years
ago. The writers presuppose that the
Car win concede the right of the peo-
pie to participate in legislation. and,
in calling the constituent assembly
will with a single stroke of the pen
do away once and for always with all
administrative abuses and abolish all
spurious forms OF law which masquer-
ade under the name Of Temporary
regulations. ministerial circulars, and
administrative decisions. and which

feet by huge breaker
and swept beyond his depth. Land

to aid his companions, but was buff
feted by the breakers to such an ex-

CROP CONDITIONS.

Progress OF the Cotton Crop as o.

Washington, Aug 1.-THE following
is the weather bureaus weekly sum-
mary of crop conditions:
Portions of Virginia. the Carolinas,
Georgia, Tennessee, Northern Ala
bama, Southeastern Missouri and the
lower Ohio Valley continue to need
rain, and drought conditions have de-
veloped to some extent in portions OF
Nebraska, South Dakota and North
ern Wisconsin.
The corn crop has experienced an
other very favorable week. and the
general outlook in the principal corn
states continues very promising.
With a general absence Of rain in
Texas and scattered showers over the
central portions of the middle and
eastern districts. the progress of the
cotton crop as a whole has been favor
able. Complaints of rust and she'd
ding. however. are quite generally re-
ported. and some premature opening
from portions of Georgia and South
Carolina. Early cotton is opening rap
idly and picking is progressing in
Texas, and in the Eastern districts
under favorable conditions Inter-
rupted sunshine and high tempera-
lures have checked the ravages OF the
bollworms and weeyil in Texas, but
these pests continue to cause consid-
cradle damage and in inundated sec
lions In that state the crop has been
severely damaged and in many sec
tons ruined.
The condition OF tobacco In Kentucky
Is only fair. but In Indiana Ohio, Wis
eonfin and New England the outlook
Is more favorable. In Maryland early
tobacco Is poor. but the late planted

to this city yesterday from Marble
