cORRIGAN is DEAD.
Noted Archbishop Passes Peacefully Away ia
New York City.

New York, May r. Archbishop
Michael Augustin Corrigan died: at
11:05 last night, aged SO years. The
death of the archbishop came as q great
surprise and shock to those in the
archepiscopal residence. It was more
SO to the general public, for the last
bulletin of the day was that SO GER
tain were the physicians OF an inn
provement of the patient that there
would be no more bulletins that night.
Up to 1880 there was no evidence of
collapse; in fact, the archbishop talked
with his secretary. About IL o'clock
however, the trained nurse at the bed
side noticed change. Acting on in
structions, the physicians were tele-
phoned for: At the same time, the
archbishop's two brothers were sum-
moned to the room, as we'll as num-
ber of priests. 1t was quickly seen by
the physicians that the end was at
hand, and in less than a quarter of an
hour the prelate was dead. His last
moments were peaceful and without
evidence of suffering. Besides the two
brothers of the archbishop, there were
present in the room a dozen priests,
among them being some of the most
prominent in Amreica.

FAVOR OLEOMARGARlNE.
Live Stock Association Makes Representations
to the President on Pending Bills.

Washington, May 8.-William M.
Springer, representing the National
Livestock association, called ON Presi-
dent Roosevelt and presented to him a
telegram from the president of the as
sociation, stating that the passage of
the oleomargarine bill, the effort to
enact the Grosvenor anti-shoddy bill.
and the governments action against
the beef trust, all are producing heavy
losses to livestock producers of the
United States. The president is urged
to give immediate consideration to
these matters. Mr.. Springer explained
that he did not know how the livestock
association stood with reference to the
governments suit against the beef
trust, but he was confident that what
it most desired was prompt action that
the cattle raisers of the country may be
relieved from the uncertainty of the
present situation. Mr.. Springer, on
behalf of the association, made an ar
gument to the president to show that
the oleomargarine bill should not re-
ceive executive approval.

Against American Vessels.

Vancouver, B. c., May S.-The
boards of trade of the various cities of
British Columbia are petitioning the
Dominion government to revoke an Or
der in council which permits American
bottoms to carry Canadian bonded
freight from this port to the north.
In its unamended form the Canadian
law does not permit foreign bottoms to
carry Canadian bonded freight, but
three or four years ago, during the rush
days, when there were few British bot
toms plying between this port and
Skagway, the boards of trade of VAN
couver and Victoria petitioned the gov
ernment to allow bonded freight to go
north on American bottoms. As a re-
suit of that petition an order in council
was passed permitting such. That Or
der has been renewed year by year ever
since, but local business men now de-
sire that it should be revoked.

AMERICANS KILLED.
Officers and Men Fall in Gallant Fight With
the Moros.

/ Washington, 6.-The war depart
ment has received cablegram from
General Chaffee, which says:
Following is the substance of Brig
adler General George W.. Davis mes
sage from Bayan:
i "Eighty-four survivors Bayan sur
rendered Internationally this morning
at o'colck. Sultan Bayan, Rajs
Munda Bayan, Sultan Randapatan and
all leading Dattos dead and many o.
their followers. Assault on the princi.
pal fort, which surrendered last night
one of the most gallant performances o1
American arms. Colonel Frank D.
Baldwin and his regiment deserve all
praise for hand-to-hand struggle in
four lines of bitches under walls oil
fort. These trenches are lined with
Moro dead from rifle fire. Have never
seen or heard of any performance ex-
ceiling this gallant fight.
st is my painful duty to report
that the overthrow of Moro power
was not accomplished without severe
loss. One officer and seven enlisted
men killed; four officers and thirty
enlisted men wounded. Will telegraph
list later.
"After 84 survivors marched out this
morning as prisoners and was under
stood they were all, eight others, who
had concealed themselves in rubbish
inside the fort, made break for lib
erty, but did not succeed. Some Moro
woHnded tried to stab soldiers trying to
help them. 1t is impossible to state
number of Moros killed, many lying in
tall grass. The surrender saves us from
siege and starving out. Intend to re-
tain prisoners until two or three small
adjacent forts occupied, then will con-
sent to their release, holding as host
ages eight or ten of the principals, and
release the others.
''The force in line of advance consist
ed of four mountain guns, 40 rifles.
This fully sufficient. Could not have
used more men advantageously. Had
we sent strong column it would only
have swelled casualty list. One neigh
boring Datto has already represent d
himself as friend, and / expect a
general coming in shortly, when the
weight of the blow is known. The
dead sent to Malabang for burial.
''In light of present knowledge could
have besieged the principal fort, and
in time forced the surrender, but that
would probably have resulted in a sortie
for freedom, and escape for many. By
attacking them they have been COM
pletely crushed-the only kind of. les
son these wild Moros seem to be able
to profit by. Shall invite Sultan Tar
lae to pay me friendly visit; if he
does not tell us of his initiative. Has
fort further east in plain sight, and of
same strength as Bayan, on beautiful
table land, 1000 acres, fine upland
rice, and urging people to return to its
cultivation. The result to follow this
action very important, namely, it &C.
cures respect for United States author
ity in the center of Moro savagery.

STORM AT ST. LOUIS.
Machine Shops and Section Of a Foundry
Destroyed by Fire from Lightning.


Destroyed by Fire from Lightning.
St. Louis, May For a short time
in the afternoon a terrific storm of
wind and rain prevailed in this city
and vicinity, causing much damage.
Lightning resulted in several fires, one
of which destroyed the machine shops
and section of the foundry Of William
and Phillip Medarts' patent pulley
plant in South St. Louis. The loss is
estimated at $500, 900. In all parts of
the city trees, fences, signs, awnings,
ETC., were blown down and other dam
age done by the wind, which came in
terrific gusts. As far as learned, no.
body was killed or injured. For one
minute this afternoon the wind reached
q velocity Off miles an hour, and for
the five succeeding minutes it blew at
the rate of So miles an hour, after
which it moderated.
In the down town district the wind
carried away immense signs, throwing
them into the streets and breaking
plate glass windows in several of the
large stores. OF the crowds on the
streets at the time many had narrow
escapes from death and injury.

OREGON MAIL ROUTES.
Statement by the Postoffice Department of
- the Number Now in Operation.

Washington, May 7.-Representative
Tongue has received from the postoffice
department statement showing the
number of rural free delivery routes
now in operation in Oregon, together
with the applications on file for the es-
tablishment of additional routes. He
is advised that there are now 28 rural
carriers performing actual service on

in the Fist congressional district and
five in the second. There are pending
in the depal tment files applications for
the establishment of IS additional
routes, 50o the applications coming

made, and on his recommendation SUBJ
sequent departmental action will be

Record in the Civil War.

Washington, May S.-Rear Admira
William T. Sampson, retired, died a
his home in this city at O'Clock il
the afternoon. The immediate cause O
death was severe cerebral hemor.
rhage. He had been in a semi-con.
scious state for several days. At the
bedside when the admiral breathed his
last were Mrs. Sampson, Mrs. Lieuten.
ant C1uverius, the admiral's married
| daughter; Admiral SIMPSONS two
young sons, Ralph and Harold Samp-
son; DIR. Dixon. the attending physi.
clan, and nurses and attendants. Mrs.
Sampson had broken down under the
the day. But for the critical condi-
tion of the Admiral, she would have
been confined to her bed.
1t has been suggested to Mrs. Samp-
son that the naval academy at Annap-
oils would be the proper place for the
last resting place, while other friends
have represented to her that he should
be buried in Arlington Cemetery, near
this city.
Admiral Sampson resided in Annap-
oils eight years, during four years of
which he was superintendent of the
academy there.
William T. Sampson was born in
Palmyra, Wayne county, February g,
1910. He was four months younger to
the day than Admiral Schley. Unlike
Schley, Sampson did not come of dis
tinguished naval lineage, nor, in fact,
of prominent family. He was the
first of his line to attain distinction.
George Sampson, his father, was a day
laborer up in Wayne county, and the
early life of his son William was not
the pleasantest and easiest.
Graduating from Annapolis at the
head of his class just before the Civil
war he took an active and prominent
part in that conflict for one SO young,
and exhibited rare courage and presence
of mind under fire.
Sampson, with Lieutenant Joseph
Strauss, devised and perfected the SUI
perimposed or double deck turrets ON
the battleships Kearsarge and Ken
lucky.
At the beginning Of the war with
Spain, Sampson was in command of
the Iowa at Key West, and when Ad-
miral Sicard was invalided home,
Sampson was placed in command of the
Atlantic feet and perfected the block
ade of the Cuban coast. He was at a
conference with General Shafter at
Guantanamo when the naval battle of
Santiago was fought. After the close
of the war, Sampson was promoted to
the grade of commodore, and in the
following year he became rear adj
miral.

HAS AUTHORITY.
Treasury Department May Prevent Landing
of Chinese i'm Transit.

Washington, May 8. The chief jus
tice of the United States supreme eourt
has rendered opinions in two test case.
affecting the transit of Chinamer
through the United States to Other
countries, sustaining the governments,
amuthorities having them detained al
San Francisco. There are said to bt
40 or so Cinnamon who have been thus
detained in San Francicso for the past
four or five months, and who have been
very restless under the restraint. The
result of the decision will be the de-
portation to China of the Chinese de-
tanned.
Two Cinnamon were ON their way to
Mexico and claimed the right under
the treaty of 1894 to transit, one desir-
ing to go by rail, and the other merely
to trans-ship. They were denied this
right under the provision of the treaty
giving the treasury department author
ity to make regulations for control in
such matters The federal authorities
discovered evidence in both cases, as in
those of their detained countrymen,
that the passengers did not intend to
remain in Mexico. The prisoners
sought release by habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. their petitions being denied
by the district court for the Northern
District of California. In his opinion,
the chief justice said:
Congressional action has placed
the final determination of the right of
admission of Chinese in executive Off
cials without judicial Intervention, and
this has been for many years the recog-
nized and declared policy of the coun-
try. The regulations to prevent the
abuse of the privilege of transit have
been and are intended to effectuate the
same policy and recourse to the courts
by habeas corpus to determine the ex-
istence of such abuse. The record does
not present case of regulation or ac-
tion in contravention with the Consti-
tuition, and we think that upon the adj
mission of facts the orders of the coll
lector cannot be held to have been in
valid"
