AMBASSADOR WHITE RESIGNS.
Our Representative to Germany to
Quit His Post Early in
November

Berlin, Aug. 6.--Ambassador White
mailed his resignation to the United
States several days ago. 1t is to take
effect early in November.
Mr.. Whites resignation may now be
in the hands of President Roosevelt.
The date set by the ambassador for
his resignation to go into efssst was
November Z. He is now al Homburg,
where he is taking the waters and
where he probably will remain till the
end of the month. There is much Cos
sip at Berlin concerning Mr.. Whites
probable successor, and one circum-
stantial story is that the president in
tends to transfer Ambassador Tower
from St. Petersburg to Berlin, Minis
ter Storer from Spain to be ambas-
sador TO Russia, and to appoint Henry
White, now secretary of embassy at
London, as minister to Spain Mr..
Tower, who has been dissatisfied with
ST. Petersburg, expressed months ago
a wish to be transferred to some other
equally desirable post, preferab bly, Ber-
lin.
Washington, Aug. 6.-No informa-
ton has been received at the state
department indicating that Ambassa-
dor White had resigned, but the an
pouncement was not unexpected, as

report was current some time ago
that he would retire from public life
upon reaching his SEVENTEEN birth
day. Several gentlemen in the diplo-
matte service had been mentioned in
connection with the Berlin embassy
should Ambassador White retire, the
most prominent being DR.. David
Jayne Hill, now first assistant secre-
tary of state, and Hon. Bellamy
Storer, at present minister to Spain.
Ithaca, N. Y, Aug. 6.-The resig-
nation of Ambassador White has
been expected by his friends in this
city for many months, particularly
since the death of his son, Frederick
D. White, of Syracuse, in July, 1901.
DIR. White will be 70 years old in No
vember and the reason assigned here
for his withdrawal from the honor.
able post which he occupied at Ber-
lin is that he is ready now to devote
himself to writing. He has COM
pleted work on his experiences and
"reminiscences as diplomat at Ber-
lin and ST. Petersburg, and is con-
stantly engaged in literary work.
He has maintained his home on the
campus since he left Cornell univer-
sity, and it is considered proba Bile
that he will return here to live.

ARMED PEACE.
Quiet Prevails Mt Shenandoah, Pa,
Owing to Presence of Troops,
Who Are Vigilnnt.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. g. The
peace OF this troop-protected town
remains unbroken. The unsettled
feeling which has been apparent for
the last few days, however, continues.
1t was lively day at brigade head
quarters, where all the staff officers
were kept busy in connection with
the movements of the troops and in
keeping in touch with the situation
in the entire county. There were
many rumors of trouble, but except
ing at Girardville, where a workman
was shot and slightly injured, moth
ing of a serious nature occurred any,
where. Brig. Gen. Goblin was unu-
sually alert, however, and kept SOL
diers in readiness for instant use all
day long. Many stories of threat
ened trouble reached him, but he
was able in every instance to run
them down without sending out a
detail of men. Officers around head
quarters feel that the tension is in
creasing and would not be surprised
if some of the troops now in camp
here were sent into the surrounding
region. The brigadier general says
he will not send for additional men
until there is need for them. 1t is
not unlikely, however, that a battery
and another troop of cavalry will be
in the field by the end of the week.

SECURE A LARGE SUM
Limited Train on Burlington Road
Is Held Up.
Stopped by Masked Bandits Near sa-
wanna, Hl.-Express Car Cut
Loose, Safe Blown Open and
and $4,000 Taken.

Savanna, Ill, Aug. 6.-The Chicago
Minneapolis limited express train on
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road was held up, the express car dy-
namited and $4,000 in the custody of
the Adams Express company made
away with at 1880 o'clock Tuesday
night. The scene of the robbery was
Marcus, small flag station eight miles
from here. The engine and express car
We're detached from the train and run
down the road a short distance, where
the robbers completed their work. 1t
is known that at least two men par
ticipated in the robbery. Both were
heavily masked and armed. 1t is not
known whether any of the train crew
or express messengers were injured.
The information was brought to the
Burlington railroad yards by the flag
man of the limited, who ran and
walked the eight miles from the lonely
spot where the train was held up by
the bandits.
A general alarm was given and all
the police officers and the sheriff and
his deputies located here. together
with all of the men in the railroad
left at once on a special train for Mar
Gus. No word has been received from
them.
Dynamite Used.
The train was nearly eight miles out
of Savanna, in the lonely river bot
toms, when the engineer ran over
number of torpedoes, such as are used
by track walkers to stop train when
there is break in the track. The en-
gineer Immediately applied the brakes
and brought the train to a stop. Ashe
did so two masked men clambered up
on the engine. One of them covered
the engineer and fireman with revolv-
ers, ordering them to cut the express
car Loose from the coaches. The en-
CINE and express car were then run
up the track a short distance, where
the bandits blew open the car with
dynamite. The safes were also blown
and everything of portable value was
piled into sacks and carried into the
woods by one of the robbers. the other
guarding the train men.
$4,000 TnkeI-.
1t is known that the money pack
ages on the express car usually con-
tain many thousands of dollars, and
the booty is consequently estimated
at $4,000.
The place where the robbery oc-
Cured is an ideal spot for train rob-
bers. At that point the tracks of the
Burlington and the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul road are but mile
apart. There are several avenues of
escape leading from the flag station
at Marcus to the right of way of the
st. Paul company.

Raise Price of Bread.

Mexico City, Aug. 4.-There is
much popular indignation here over
the formation of pool among the
bakers of this city to raise the price
of bread. This trade is in the hands
of half dozen rich Spaniards from
old Spain who have signed an agree
ment to charge prices mutually
agreed on and not in any way to en-
ter into competition, as they have
done hitherto. The agreement is for
two years. The daily papers point
out that this agreement is wholly
unjustifed, as the price of wheat
has not altered in two years, while
the taxes are the same. The cost of
living for poor people and the lower
middle class has been increasing
steadily and meat has been rising
two wears past.

FINE CROP OF CORN.
Makes Excellent Progress During the
Past Week in the Principal
Corn States.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows:
A drought prevailing in the previous week
from Virginia and the Carolinas westward
to Arkansas, has been largely broken, the
rains being excessively heavy over the
western part of the region named. Drought
however, continues in portions of the lower
ONO valley, the Carolinas and northern
Georgia. The central and northern por-
lions of Texas have again received very
heavy rains, and the lake region and the
northern portion of the middle Atlantic
states have also suffered to some extent
from excessive moisture. The protracted
drought in the central and southern Rocky
mountain districts continues with in
creased severity, and portions of Kansas
Nebraska and the North Pacific coast re-
gion are in need of rain. Generally the
temperature conditions have been highly
favorable.
As whole, corn has made excellent prog
ress in the principal producing states
and an unusually fine crop is promised. In
small part of the lower Ohio valley and in
southeastern Missouri, central and west
ern Kansas, Tennessee and Virginia a
part of the crop is, however, suffering
from drought.
Spring wheat harvest has been some
what delayed by showers in Minnesota,
where harvesting is in progress as far
north as the middle portion of the state.
In North Dakota high winds and hail have
lodged and damaged spring wheat slightly
and rust is appearing on the late sown.
The crop is rpening very rapidly in the
Dakotas, somewhat too rapidly in South
Dakota. In Oregon and Washington spring
wheat has made favorable advancement.
Oat harvest in the northern districts has
progressed under more favorable condi-
tons than in the previous week, and Is
nearing completion, except in the more
easterly sections

Philadelphia, Aug. 6.-Archbishop
Ryan, who returned Tuesday from his
visit to President Roosevelt at Oys-

in regard to his attitude on the ques-
ton of the retention of the friars in
the Philippines. He said:
My position in regard to the friars in
the Philippines is not that they should be
expelled which We have no right to do, but
they should be left to the pope and their
generals to be exchanged for members Of
their orders of other nationalities, especial
ly Americans when this can be effected.

The Vatican ana France.

Rome, Aug. 5.-The vatican regards
the present situation in France, arising
from the closing of unauthorized con-
gregationist schools, as most grave.
1t is reported that Cardinal Rampolli,
papal secretary of state, is still in ia
vor of temporizing with France, fear
ing that the hostile attitude of the
vatican toward that country would
lead to graver complications. Some Of
the cardinals advocate an entire rup-
ture with France, thus anticipating
that republic and prevent the passage
there of further anti-clerical laws.

MINIS Influence.

The only responsibility that a man
cannot evade in this life is the one he
thinks Of least. his personal influence.
Mans conscious influence when he Is
on dress parade, when he is posing to
impress those around him, is woefully
small, but his unconscious influence,
the silent, subtle radiation of his per-
sonality, the effect of his words and
acts, the trifes he never considers, is
tremendous. Every moment Of life he
is changing to q degree the life of the
whole world. Every man has an at
mosphere which is affecting every 9th
er. So silently and unconsciously is
this influence working that man may
forget that it exists.-W. G. Jordan.
