THE BEAR is SULKY.
Expresses No sympathy for King
Edward-DispIeased With the
Doe Peace Treaty.

St. Petersburg, June 30.-The fact
that no representative of the court
or of the ministry has called at the
British embassy here to offer the
sympathy of Russia in the matter OF
the illness of King Edward has occa-
stoned much comment and is general
ly attributed to Russian chagrin on
account of the conclusion of peace
in South Africa. 1t is said upon ex-
cellent authority that Count Lams-
dorf, the minister of foreign affairs,
admitted that this peace had upset
Russia's calculations, which were
based upon a much longer continu-
ance of Great Britain's difficulties in
South Africa. Count Lamsdorf is re-
ported to be particularly nettled be-
cause Great Britain did not consult
the Boer delegates in Europe in re-
gard to peace.

MUNICIPAL CORRUPTION.
The Latest Upheaval 10 at Minneapolis
Mayor Ames and Police Force
Involved

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 2S.-Dep
uty sheriffs have many members OF
the police department under surveil-
lance, with instructions not to allow
them to escape until the action Of
the grand jury on evidence now be-
fore it is known.
The evidence referred to is that
given by Christopher c. Norbeck,
former detective, who went before
the grand jury Thursday and told of
blackmail and compromising of
thefts into which members of the
police department entered. His testi-
mony involves many policemen, and
Is said to be corroborated by women
who have been compelled to pay trib-
ute to members of the department.
Three more members of the police
force have been indicted by the grand
jury and two Of them were arraigned
Friday.
Capt. John Fitchette is accused Of
receiving a gratuity of 800 for secur-
ing an applicant a place on the police
force. In court he declared that he
was too poor to hire an attorney, but
the court, calling attention to a dia-
mond-studded star and a gold watch
and chain which he wore, declined to
appoint counsel. His bail was fixed
at $1,000.
Inspector Fred Malone was ar
raigned for being an accessory after
the fact to a felony, to-wit, the crack
ing of a safe in the Pabst Brewing
Co.'s office. His bail was made $2,'
500.
The third man indicted is Inspector
Charles F. Bracket, and the offense
charged is the same as that against
Malone. Bracket is out of the city,
however, and his whereabouts are
not known.
1t was said Friday night that
Mayor Ames is going to resign, and
that a new mayor, with a recognized
police force and an entire change of
front so far as municipal conditions
under the control of the police de-
partment are concerned, is promised
for Minneapolis oon after Septem-
Der 1. According to present plans
Mayor Ames will at that time remove
permanently to West Baden, taking
his family with him and handing over
the reins of executive rule into the
hands of Alderman D. P. Jones, presi-
dent of the council. By the terms of
the charter, if a mayor resigns with
IN 60 days of the general election,
the office and duties of the position
devolve upon the president of the
council for the rest of the municipal
year.

RECENT STORM AT ST. LOUIS.
Neariy Six Inches of Winter Fell, Re-
suItIng in Much Damage 20 CitS>
and Worlds Fair Property.

St. Louis, July lit was a
gloomy Sunday that was inflicted up
on st. Louis. The rain, not satisfied
with having broken all records for
the past ten years on Saturday, con-
tined to fall during the greater por-
ton of the day and evening.
According to the local weather bu-
reau, the deluge which st. Louis has
just experienced, commenced about
two o'clock Saturday morning. Be-
tween that hour and seven o'clock
Saturday night the gauge registering
the rainfall recorded 40 inches.
Then there was a cessation, barring
a few drops which fell from time to
time, but not in sufficient quantities
to make any impression until 1858
o'clock Sunday morning. At that
time the clouds opened again and
the rain descended in torrents, con-
tinuing at intervals until two in the
afternoon. Shortly after six o'clock
in the evening there was another
storm. and it rained hard and steadi-
ly for an hour or more. At the
weather office after it was reported
that between 1858 a. m. and 2 p. m.
Sunday, the rainfall amounted to go
of an inch. The office YVES closed at
night, but it was estimated that the
fall during the evening storm would
easily reach 20 of an inch. These fig
ures show that in the AZ hours end
ing at eight o'clock Sunday night the
total rainfall in st. Louis amounted
to $50 inches, almost a half foot.
Considerable damage has been done
throughout the city by the blowing
down of shade trees and the unroof-
ing of a few buildings. The princi-
pal damage, however, was done at
the Worlds fair grounds, where a
portion of the framework of the
Varied Industries building was pros
trated.
