GERMANS PAID
FOR VANDALISM

Berlin, Jan. 10.-A correspondent
in Samoa writes to the Cologne Ga
zette giving a hitherto unknown expla-
nation of the killing Of DIR. Menke,
leader of the German scientific expe-
ditiOn in the South sea islands. and
his party by natives on ST. Matthews
island, Bismarck archipelago. The
correspondent says that Menke ruth
lessly destroyed a number of palm
trees of which there were but a few
on the island and the natives acted in
defense of their property. A German
punitive expedition, sent to avenge the
killing of Menke and his party, landed
from the German cruiser CormoraR
and killed 81 islanders.
Such is the civilization" says Ver-
Waerts, that our colonial politicians
are spreading"

London, Nov. 4.-The British shoe and
leather merchants have seized the oppor-

exhibition, which opens here to-day, to
seek to demonstrate that the American in
vasion Of that trade Is not as important
as has been claimed. The promoters
quoted statistics showing that the imports
Of American shoes in 1901 were about
half million pairs. Alderman Boyce Of
Leicester, one of the centers of trade, in
his presidential address, admitted that
British manufacturers had for some time
depended on American machines, but
British machinery is now coming to the
fore. American competition had taught
them something, and the British marufac-
turer, workman and machine maker had
all awakened to. the needs of the times
Among other things the Americans had
taught them was that there are a limited
number of British consumers who prefer
lightness, fexibtlity and comfort to dura-
bility. The British aim had been dura-
bility, but. said Mr." Boyce: :'If you prefer
because the soles and uppers have parted.
we can now oblige you with those also"

then wearing a pair of American shoes
that were very comfortable, but he did not
know what would happen II he went out in

M. Bertillon, the expert criminolo-
gist, will tomorrow photograph and

studying the case with a view to the
coming trial. because, even though
the magistrate may adopt the theory
of accident, it may be necessary to
try DeRydZewski on the charge of
committing homicide by imprudence,
and he is liable to be mulcted in dam
ages for the benefit of Miss Cores
heirs, should any put in an appear
ance Meanwhile, it is evident that
strong efforts are being made to in

The legislature that her voters
have chosen will unquestionahly
prove itself a force for the best inter-
ests of the state. Apart wholly from
the possibilities that it embraces in
the way of placing in the United
States senate man to succeed Glib
son-and, more remotely, a successor
of Clark-this body is of a character
that marks an immediate end of the
populistic, freak legislation which
has scared capital out of the state
heretofore and thus materially re-
tarded its development. 1t cannot be
depended upon, either, to carry out
one of the reported purposes of the
defeated party-to pass law empow-

Butte, Nov. 24.-ln the preliminary
hearing today of the bribery election
case in which George H. Casey is
efendant, was taken up in the morn
ing, after Justice Nelson's announce
ment of the postponement of his ses-
sion in the Alsop case. 1t was long
hearing, during which the various
witnesses, among whom were many
prominent campaigners, described the
nature of their election work in de-

them had spent several hours near
the booths of the famous precinct

them We're there when the Heinze
tallyho arrived with it's speech max

cabin and imbibed the good liquor on
tap there. Two witnesses testified
to having accepted bribes from
Casey, and one swore that he had
three times worked upon Charles w
Clark's sympathy to the extent of

was denied by the defendant, and
testimony presented to prove an alibi
for Mr.. Casey. Charles w. Clark was
not defendant at this examination.
and accordingly that part of the tes-
tlmony referring to him was stricken

THE MONTANA ELECTION.
An Eastern Newspaper Expects Much
Good to Follow.

It is reported on excellent authori-
ty that the Montana campaign
against F. Augustus Heinze cost him
personally a sum of money consider
ably in excess of $350,000. To re-
gard the thing from a purely mater
ial and sporting standpoint of view,
the stakes that he was playing for
were obviously worth it. He lost, in
the main, and the deficit may have
cost him in other ways something
that amounts to good deal more
than $350,000 in cash. OF that, how
ever, it is not necessary to speak.
Montana will no doubt be distinct
gamer as the result of this election.
By it she places on the bench of the
supreme court an associate justice
who has been and is district judge
with most excellent record-one
above reproach in his judicial purity
and fairness-and Montana needs al
she wants and can get of that sort
