There was something quite like
Harry Tracy's end In the manner of
the death OF Bartholin, the Chicago
murderer, who killed himself In
lonely flax field In Iowa. True, he
was not so closely pursued as was the
Oregon outlaw, nor was he so daring,
but the same fear OF capture was
upon him and he chose death as the
solution of his difficulties, 1t is not
improbable that Tracy's example was
IN Bartholln's mind as he determined
TO cut short his unhappy career. 1t
is an example which petty criminals
are none too prone to follow, but one
which men of the Tracy -Bartholin
class are now the more apt to emu
late, quite to the satisfaction of the
public in general.

When some newspaper men asked me if the fair would be postponed and made neg ative reply, I was asked if we could not prepare better fair in 1904 than in 19O3 replied, Yes. and so can we prepare better fair for 2004 than for 1904.'
 T cannot say why this statement should be construed as an admission that the Louisiana Purchase exposi- ton would be postponed from the date fixed by congress and announced by the president in his proclamation in- viting foreign countries to participate. Some of the European governments have sent replies declining, and one ob- ject of my visit to Washington is to ask the state department and the ad- ministration to bring additional pres sure upon such governments to recon sider their conclusion. If, however, they should refuse to do so, it would not mean that St. Louis would not have exhibits from those countries, as our commissioners would make direct appeals to manufacturers and other ex- hibitorS therein

SOLDIER DEGRADED
Had Threatened to Assasinate
 President Roosevelt.
ALSO GOT 10 YEARS IN PRISON

He Made Boast in Saloon That Me-
 Kinley Got What He Deserved--He
 Was a Member of Captain Cloke's
 Company and Hailed from Chicago.
 Portland, Ore, Jan 1S.-A special to the Oregonian from Astoria, Ore. says: Frank Ranowski, a soldier in the United States army, was to-day de- graded at Fort Canby and sentenced to ten years imprisonment ill the mil itary prison on Alcatraz Island, Cali fornia. Ranowski had threatened to assassinate President Roosevelt.
 Ranowski was a member of Captain Cloke's company, stationed at Fort Stevens. He was on detached duty at Fort Columbia, Washington, when he voiced the anarchist sentiment, and after arrest by the civil authorities was turned over to the military offic- ials at Fort Canby. He was tried be- fore a general courtmartial.
 A few days before Christmas Ran- owski became intoxicated at Chinook, and while in a saloon there made the following statement: President Me Kinley got what he deserved. My time of enlistment in the army will soon expire and when it does I'll see that President Roosevelt gets the same dose that Czolgosz gave Mckinley"
 Ranowski's sentence is dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and al- lowances and confinement in the mili- tary prison on Alcatraz Island for a period of ten years.

He Tells a Straight Story In Cuban
 Frauds Trial.
 HAVANA, Jam 1S--The cross exam ination of Estes G. Rathbone, ex-di- rector general of posts of Cuba, at yes terday's session of the court which is trying the charges growing out of the Cuban postoffice fraud brought out no new facts. Counsel for w. H. Reeves, ex-deputy auditor for Cuba, who is al- so on trial, endeavored to put the re- sponsibility on Rathbone for the neg lect on the part of Cuban postmaSters to render monthly statements. Rath- bone insisted that it was Reeves duty to report irregularities of this kind.
 c. F. W. Nicely was called and exam ined by the fiscal. Nicely said that he received his appointment from Wash ington and that Rathbone had made him chief for the. finance bureau of the Cuban postoffice department after the organization of the Cuban postal sery ice. He said that when the stamps were burned certain amount was re- served for collectors, but that he did not know how many, and that after the sales to collectors fell off he gave the surcharged stamps to Senor Moya, Cuban stamp clerk in the Havana postofice, instructing MoEa to sell them. He asserted he took the money resulting from these sales and put it in these stamps, nor did Moya make out acquisitions for them.
 In answer to the fiscaps question as to why he had made no such record Nicely explained that in so far as the new issue of stamps was concerned records were kept in his office of the denominations sold in order that he ! might be in a position to know what denominations to order from Washing ton to replete the stock. As for the matter of balancing the account, the stamps he turned over to Moya had no bearing thereon.
 l Nicely said he was charged with the whole amount of the value of the stamps delivered and that these he must account for either in stamps or money when called upon to do so. For this reason, he said, it made no differ ence whether these NIoya sales were recorded. Instead of the stamps, he said. he had put the money in the vault
 1 Nicely was confronted with Reeves, who reiterated his statement that Nee 1 ly gave him $4,600 before leaving to make the books tally. Neely answered that this was not so and said he was with an employee of the postoffice at the hour named by Reeves in his state ment. At the request of Neely's coun- sel this employee will be summoned to 1 testify.
