Apoloqized for an Insult.

Washington, March 13.-It is stated
that the trouble growing out of the coll
lision between Russian soldiers and
American sailors of the United States
steamship Vicksburg a Niuchwang has
been settled satisfactorily thru d pre-
ference of apologies by the Russian
commandant at that port to Captain
Barry, the commander of the Nicks
burg. 1t appears that there We're two
separate and distinct affairs. In the
first the Russians accused one of the
Americans of brawling. and claimed to
be holding the guilty mans overcoat as
evidence against him. They We're un-
able. however. to produce the coat when
it was requested by the American au-
thorities. The second incident was the
raiding of the American sailors club
rooms by party of Russian soldiers.

brought to his attention by Captain

decked with flowers. Concerning this is
romance which for long years has
remained a secret in the doctors heart.
| A few days ago he celebrated the
birthday anniversary of this skull by
arranging about and upon it a wreath
of forget me-nots. This he has been
doing for long years, in memory of the
person whose flesh and blood once COW

belonged to a beautiful girl living in

The doctor was student at Ann Ar

ambitions. She was always encourag-

tho they expected some time to be mar

LIKE THE JESTER CASE.
II. II. Freeman Accused of Having
Murdered His Friend in Kansas

II. II. Freeman Accused of Having
Murdered His Friend in Kansas.
Wichita, Kas., March 13-Circum-
stances similar to those that surround
the famous Jester murder, which was
unearthed here about two years ago
are being developed in the case of Fl. H.
Freeman, who yesterday morning
pleaded guilty in the United States
court to the charge of having used the
mails for fraudulent purposes. This
charge. however, is admittedly only q
subterfuge to hold Freeman to answer
to the more serious charge of having
murdered his friend, Fren Kenney, in
August of 1900. while the two were
travelling overland thru Kansas.
The prosecution at this time, how
ever has not sufficient evidence to
cinch the charge, and, hence, the man
was given over to the federal authors
ties, so as to gain more time to procure
evidence. 1t is alleged that Freetnan's
arrest was brought about thru the de-
sire for revenge on the part of a dis
carded sweetheart, and that the woman
will prove an important witness for the
prosecution at the proper time. The
authorities, however, decline to discuss
this phase of the case.
Fren Kenney left his home at North
Branch on August /, 1900. He had two
teams, a camping outfit and some
money. His purpose was to travel ov-
erland to see the country. AT Burr Oak
he fell in with Freeman, who at one
time had been a neighbor and was well
acquainted with the young man. Since
then the latter has disappeared as COM
him.

PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS.
Significant Story Bearing on Roose

Significant Story Bearing on Roose-
velt's Chances in 1904.
Washington, March 13.-President
Roosevelt recently told story a din
ner party, at which Senator Hanna was
also one of the guests. which may have
an important bearing on the presiden-
tial campaign of 1904. Already it is ac-
copied as evidence that the president is
looking sharply after his own political
future and Incidentally raises the cues
ton whether Senator Hanna will be
one of his rivals. The story is that a
Washington asked Judson w. Lyons,
the register of the United States treas
ury, whether he favored the nomination
of Roosevelt in 1904. Lyons, who is a
colored man from Georgia possesses
great influence with men of his race
turnout the United States, after asking
Mr.. Washington whether he came to
him in the interest of President Roose-
Welt, said he would be happy indeed to
use his influence for President Roose-
Welt unless. he added. Senator Hanna
should be candidate.
IF Mr.. Hanna desires the nomina-
ton" he continued, II must and will
support him whether l retain my pres
ent office or not
This conversation was reported to the
president, who promptly said 'All
right. / admire a man who is loyal to
his friends. have nothing to fear from
u man like that. Mr.. Lyons statement
does not jar me a bit and he shall re-
tain his office" This story has caused
a great amount of gossip in Washington
as 1t has set the politicians and public
men to talking about the chances of
Roosevelt and E[anna and whether they
will be rival presidential candidates 1t
seems to be the general opinion that the
president has not injured his chances
of nomination any by his manly treat
ment of Register Lyons, but there are
also many public men who believe that
Senator Hanna may be candidate and
popular one at that
Those who are closest to the Ohio SEN
ator however, say that he has no idea
of seeking the nomination in 1904 and
that he will assist President Roosevelt
in every way in his power. The presi
dent and Senator Hanna are warm
friends and it is morally certain that If
the senator should decided to become a
candidate Mr.. Roosevelt would be the
first person to be made aware of his
intention and that he would get the in
formation from Mr.. Hanna's own lips.

that the political conditions in their
state make it absolutely certain that
Senator Hanna will not try to get the
nomination in 1904. They say that If he
did Senator Foraker would throw oil his
strength for Roosevelt. and that would
give him the Ohio vote. On the other
hand Senator Foraker is said to have
the presidential bee buzzing in his bon
net, but if he should attempt TO stand
as q candidate Senator Hanna's intiu-
ence would be sure to go to Roosevelt,
and that would defeat Foraker in his
