IN A STATE Of SIEGE.
Residents of Bolivian Town are As
tonished by the Sudden Placard-
ing of Town.
Report of Bolivian Defeat at Acre
and Of Presence of Peruvians
on the Frontier.
Intense Excitement is Caused by the
Unexpectedness of the
Announcement.

New York, Nov. 12.-Citizens of this
city were astonished Saturday even
ing, says a Herald dispatch from La
Paz, Bolivia, via Tacna, Chilli, when
government officials posted throughout
the town placards which declared the
whole republic Of Bolivia in state of
siege owing to the country being
threatened.
The decree caused intense excite
ment because of the unexpectedness
of the announcement and ignorance
of the reason for the government
adopting such step.
Two rumors were heard. One was
that the Bolivians had been completely
defeated in Acre. The other report
was that 1000 Peruvians were on the
frontier, near the Madre - Dios river
"The exact seriousness the news
from Acre is unknown" - Fl Com
ercio, in commenting en- t. situation
"but the government must be in pos
session of grave news to take such
measures and to declare a state o1
siege which appears unnecessary as
the entire country, without distinc
tion Of party or class, will stand by the
government.
Some persons attribute the govern
| ment's action to desire to obtain pop
ularity and to put an end to the sen
| ate's opposition to concluding ar
| rangements with Chilli.
These charges we regard as 'un
founded and we recommend that thu
| government make Duh1ic all news from
Acre Immediately after being re
ceived."
Dispatches received at Lima, Peru
from La Paz, Bolivia, confirm the re
port that the government of that re
public on Saturday declared Bolivia t,
be in state of siege. 1t is rumoret
this step was due to the Bolivians hav
ing been defeated by the revolut onist!

ALL ACCOUNTED FOR.
Men Supposed to Have Pershed in
Bridge Fire Are Safe.

New York. Nov 12.--All the men
who it was feared had perished in the
fire which swept the great tower of the
new East river bridge have been ac-
counted for.
Careful estimates of the damage are
being made. This is difficult to ap-
proximate from monetary stand
point until experts have ascertained
the condition of the great cables, at
least three of which may have to be
replaced. If this must be done loss
of at least 100000 will fall upor the
contractors and there will be much &c
lay in the completion of the bridge.
The fire was caused, Engineer Hill
debrand said, by a workman carelessly
throwing lighted match among some
oily rags.

STORY, OF CRIME.
Two Minneapolis Young Men Confess

'IopLnW o.
Minneapolis, Nov. 12.-Ignorant OF
their victims death, two footpads
made confessions solving the Prospect

which had baff1ed the authorities for
nearly a month. The culprits recited
story of criminal deeds, the boldness
and enormity of which are unpar-
alleled in the police annals of Mime.
apolis.
Andrew Haakenson and Levi N.Y.
stedt, who admit completely in a Sc
ries of brutal highway robberies, are
mere boys. Nystedt, twenty-three
years old, is five years the senior of his
accomplice. Yet these beardless
crimes the daring of which is ex.
planned only by the culprits' seeming
ignorance of their enormity.
The blind consciencelessnes with
which the twain prosecuted their Grim
inal career is best evidenced by the
fact that they did not even watch the
newspaper accounts of their deeds,
and through the same negligence failed
to learn that one of the men they had
robbed and beaten died from the in
juries they inflicted.
The two tighwaymen, when shown
the picture of the murdered man,
identified him as one of the victims
whom they led to the Prospect Park
district. They pounded him into in
sensibility, robbed him of a small
| amount of money, searched him for
more and then, believing he had hid
his savings in his shoes, took one of his
shoes off and, not finding the money
left him lying where he was later found
by school children, cold in death.
The young men confessed to the rob.
bing of four men, including the viz
tim who died, and who, they say, told
them he was a plumber

In MemUriam.

Lucy Beal Cannon, the subject OF
this sketch, was born May 8th, 1897,
and died March 9th, 1902. She was a
very stout, bright and cheerful child,
and always seemed to love very dearly
her parents and sisters, and always
wanted them to share her joys, and she
was ever willing to share their sor-
rows:
Our darling little Lucy has gone
To heaven, her bright and happy
home;
No sickness, sorrow, pain or care
Can ever reach our darling there.
But, oh! how hard to give her up.
She was to US so dear
Our dear precious little one;
No more to see her sweet face here.
Oh Lord! afford US grace divine
Ard make US willing to resign
Our darling one unto thy care
Oh, grant that we may meet her there.
Yes, met her in that happy home
Where no sad partings ever come,
And join with our sweet child TO sing
The praise of God, our heavenly King.
There was an angel band in heaven
That was not quite complete,
So God took our darling Lucy
To fill the vacant seat.
Oh, our darling! how we loved thee,
Oh! how hard to give thee up;
But an angel came down for thee
And removed thee from our flock.

A. V. s. w. EXTENSION.
The Engineering Corps Begins Work OF

1.-THE engineering corps of the At

from this city to Albany. The corps
consists of about twenty men.
"The corps is in charge or Cnlet

for the party to work as far as

Very little is known, however, as
to the plans for the extension, and
those who wish to know much about it
will have to watch the movements
that are made in the next few weeks. "
1t has been rumored for some time
that the A. V. & w. road will handle
Seaboard Air Line trains from the

much quicker route to Florida from

GRIGGS HELMSMAN
IN COMING CAMPAIGN.
GEORGIAN SURE TO BE CHOSEN To
STEER CRAFT OF DEMOCRATS.
All indications Point to His Unanimous
Election. Committee Will Have
Funds TO Conduct the Fight.

There seems to be no longer any
doubt that Judge Griggs, the immedl-
ate represe NATIVE of this district in
congress, will be elected chairman OF
the democratic congressional cam
paign committee.
The Atlanta Constitution prints
the following special from its Wash
ington correspondent
sat the next meeting of the demo-
cratic congressional campaign COM
mittee Judge Griggs, OF Georgia, Will
be elected chairman of that body.
probably by the unanimous vote OF the
membership. This was assured, when
some of the men who have talked OF
other candidates announced to Judge
Griggs' friends their purpose to sup
port the Georgian. From present in
dications he will have no opposition
whatsoever.
Judge Griggs has had majority of
the committee fayora Die to his candi-
dacy from the start, but some elements
have endeavored to bring about the
election of some man from the north
solely on the ground that it would be
better politics to select as chairman
man from some one of the close states.
Judge Griggs has at no time been ad-
verse to this if some man of wide po-
litical experience like Senator German
could be induced to undertake the
rather thankless job of steering the
party craft through the troubled sea
OF congressional campaign, but a
great many of the younger members
have insisted upon the judge being a
candidate, while one after another of
those who have been selected to make
the race against him have declined to
do so and have themselves declared for
Judge Griggs.
"The last effort of the men who
sought another candidate was to bring
out former Congressman Ben Cable,
of Illinois. Mr.. Gable is a gentleman
of wealth and wide experience in po-
litical management, but he declined to
become a candidate for chairman,
saving that he would prefer to have
Judge Griggs.
'In view of the great Importance of
this contest and the chances the demo
Gratis have, from present indications,
TO carry the next house, the committee
is to become much more of national
organization than it has been in the
past. Several democratic leaders out
side of congress have been approach
ed with view to securing their active
cooperation, and most of those who
have been so approached have signi-
fed a willingness to assist in every
way possible.
.iIt is understood that the committee
already has assurance of campaign
fund sufficient to carry on an agrees
i've fight, which is considerably more
than can be said for some of the COM
nittees in the past, which have been
sadly handicapped from lack of money
even for expenses incident to the
keeping up of cam paign headquar-
ters."
