Up a Sisters School.

Brest France. Aug. 7-Exciting
scenes occurred today at the expulsion
of number of sisters from their school
at Landerneau, near here A special
train conveyed detachments of soldiers
to Landerneau where body of gend
armes had been modified already. A
large crowd assembled at the school
and surrounded the soldiers in the
square in front of the school When the
commissary of police arrived. accom-
panied by a locksmith, the people pro-
tested vigorously, shouting Long live
the sisters of liberty!' Down with the
ministry Women threw themselves to
the ground in front of the horses of the
soldiers. The commissary ordered the
sisters to open the door OF the school,
They refused and the locksmith picked
the lock and broke the windows amid
the denunciations of the crowd.
The commissary ordered the sis
ters to leave the school which they
did, leaning on the arms of the towns
women and accompanied by the priests
and thousands of people they marched
to a church where theY sang a hymn.
A large crowd followed the gendarmes
to the railroad station, shouting Death
to the locksmith!" The man was pro-
tected by the military.
Similar scenes are expected in other
villages of Finnisterre, where the decree

MORGAN DEAL GOES.
Prevails That British Gov
ernment Has Accepted.

Icndon, Aug. 7.-Replying in the
house of commons today to request
of Lord Charles Beresford for assurance
that no binding agreement would be
concluded between the government and
the shipping combination without the
agreement being approved by parlia-
m eEt, the premier, A. J. Balfour, said:
Il don't think it possible to negotiate
on this or any other subject If the pro-
posed rms are to be publicly discussed
before the government has agreed 70
them. The government, however, is
most anxious to take the house into its
confidence at the earliest possible mo-
mn
Mr. Balfour's reply has particular in
terest as Belfast dispatches today an
nounce that the government accepted
J.. p. Morgan's offer to give the ad-
rniralty claim on all the combine'S s
ships AS evidence of the acceptance it
is stated that the government has char
tered the Corinthic, the first snip built
for the combine. which has Just been
completed at the Harland-Wof ship
yards.
Inquiries made by the Associated
Press show that belief is general that
J. Pierpont Morgan's offer practically
has been accepted by the -governn ent.
The Belfast dispatch may slightly an
ticipate the technicalities required to
for changes inserted since the offer was
originally made, but there appears to
be little doubt that the scheme is ac-
ceptable to the cabinet J. p. Morgan

ported agreement. adopted the same
noncommittal attitude as Premier Bal

He kept one revolver however in the

During the day the outlaw wanted

He sent Goldfinch after the weapons

During the day the outlaw remarked
that he needed a new holster, one of his
revolvers being unsupplied. Young
Goldfinch was instructed to find the

made holster.
Monday evening Tracy told Goldfinch
he might go. He was, however. eau

was this very display of nerve that had
heretofore made the outlaw apparently
safe that this time caused his ruin.

SO, 900 Perish From Famine

Vienna, Aug. 7.-After a special in
vestigation among the agricultural la
borers in eastern Galicia, the Neue Frefe
Presse draws a gloomy picture of the
miserable conditions which led to the ex-
listing strike. The average mortality
from famine for several years past, ac-
cOrding to the Neue Freie Presse aggre-
gated $4,000. Laborers' wages range
from to 16 cents a day, and women
earn from to cents 8 day. The
peasants rarely taste bread, and exist
chiefly on a soup, the principal ingre-
dients of which are water and herbs
A Vienna dispatch on June 80 said
that great strike of agricultural la
borers was in progress in Galicia, the
labOrers demanding an increase in the
wages of cents for men and cents
day for women to double that amount.
A Vienna dispatch on August re-
ported that there had been conflicts be-
tween the striking peasants and the
military. A dispatch to the London
Daily Express on August said that in
one encounter between the strikers and
the military, 13 persons were killed
and 118 wounded and that in another
case 200 persons were killed OF wounded.

Crane q Co. Litigation 1Genaced
American Book Co. Earnings.

Senator F. Dumont Smith believes
that Crane & Co. and their attorneys
will keep their hands OF as result of
the restraining order issued by. Judge
Hook in the federal court. and he left
this afternoon for his home at Kinsley
for a little vacation from fighting the
battles of the American Book company.
1T would have meant a loss OF $4,000
could have kept us enjoined 80 days
longer said Senator Smith before he
left. THE business which the company
will do in the next thirty days will be
years. The books for the first year will
all be sold within the next 80 days. The
life of the first, second and third read
ers will average about two years, the
fourth and fifth readers from three to
four years. the biographies two or three
years, and the physiologies about the
same. We are not afraid to meet them
in a fight where there is plenty of time
but we were afraid they would get US
tied up so that we could not supply the
books the coming fall That would take
away the cream of the whole contract
and would have meant a loss of $4,000
in addition to forfeiting our bond
They might have tied us up all right
If they had gone at it right. The proper
procedure for them would have been to
go into two three district courts
where there are Populist judges and en-
Joined the company under the antitrust
law. 1t would not have made any diff
ference whether the American Book
company is a trust or not, they could
have secured an Injunction from some
Populist judge on a simple affidavit that
1T is trust. That is what we were
afraid they would do. That would have
tied things up for awhile in the district
court, and no matter If we had got the
Injunction dissolved In the lower court,
they could have appealed. and it would
have been delayed so long in the su-
preme court that we could not have
supplied the books this year.
