railroad and express companies
operating from headquarters scat
tered throughout the Middle West.
Local officials of some of the roads
directly interested, through Incl
dents of this character which are of
recent origin, have been spurred to
drastic measures. The Davenport
robbery of the fast Chicago Rock
Island & Pacific train was the
straw that broke the came1s back.
The railroad companies, in connec-

New York. Nov. 26.-Today's
further decline in the prices of
silver fixed new low record in
the history of the world. It was
much commented on in banking
circles, causing much uneasiness
among exporters and merchants
Of this country doing business with
China and other points in the far
East. To the bankers, however,
the most significant news of the
day were the cable advices to the
effect that the Siamese government
had Instructed the mint to cease
Immediately the free coinage of
silver.
Coincident also with this devel-
opment was the decline today of
silver at Bombay to a level several
points below London. An interes-
ting feature in the drop in silver
was the advantage reaped by laun-
drymen and small merchants of
the Mott street district through be-
ing able to purchase silver bills at
so low rate. They focked down
town today, cash in hand, sending
heavy remittance to friends at home.
Most of them were surprised at the
large sums allowed for the amount
turned in.

Portland, Nov. 25.-State Veter.
marian William Nc Lean last week
condemned IS COWS owned by 10 hn
Thomas at Fairview, about IS miles
east of Portland. Four of the ami
mails were killed and the others
will be similarly disposed of. DR.
Mclean condemned them of tuber-
culosis, His examinations were
aided by F G Cutlip, Deputy Dairy
and Food Commissioner.
The herd contained 12o animals
two of them bulls. The latter had
the disease in its most advanced
form and are believed to have trans
mitted it to the other animals.
DR. Mclean says the conditions
discovered in the Fairview herd
are not unusual and that there is
no cause for a scare. Whether other
herds in the vicinity have the dis
ease cannot be determined without
futher tests, and as there is no
money for this, examinations will
not go much further. DIR Mclean
said that he would inspect two two
or three more herds in that vicin-
ity.
There's nothing sensational
about this" he said. 'The news
paper which claim to have unear-
thed these facts did not need to put
a scare head over them. There's
no scare at all. The same cendi-
tions exist all over Oregon and have

Paris, Nov 24-The Gore trad.
edy was presented in a dramatic
=, aspect today, when the French Off
cials took Rydzewski to the scene
tof the occurrence and compelled
him to re-enact every detail of the
affair, this being done uuder the
practice of the French law, which
requires the reconstruction of the
tragedy in the presence of the Off
cials under exactly the same con-
ditions as it was originally enact
ed.
The chamber was arranged as on
the night of the fatality, and the
same weapon was placed in Ryde-
wski hand to act out his version.
AS far as known, the prisoner went
through the ordeal without waver-
ing from his first story of the &C.
cidental fall of the revolver,
De Rydzewki renacted the final
scene, giving complete details as to
the position of Mrs Gore and him
self. He said that he was lying on
the bed fully dressed, while Mrs
Gore was sitting on the foot of the
bed, her feet hanging down on the
side nearest the wall and her head
thrown backward on the feather
quilt, which had been rolled to
form a cushion. Wishing to take
something from the night table
he said, he knocked off the revolver
which went off and struck Mrs
Gore in the face.
AS the bullet was found buried
in the hair of the victim, it is i'm
possible to verify the direction
taken by the missileotherwise than
by the wound. AS a result of to-
days examination, the examing
magistrate, has decided to set De
Rydzewki at liberty Professionally.
Before the party left the house
M Bertillion, the criminologist,
who is also investigating the case,
on behalf of the police, took several
photographs of the room after ask
ing De Rydzewki to place every
thing in exactly the same position
it occupied at the moment eff the
tragedy. 1t is reported that he did
this, Rydezwki evinced much
emotion. He afterward left in
cab, conducted by two policemen,
who escorted him to the prison,
where the necessary formalities
attending his discharge from GUS
tody we're completed.
At the time the case has as.
sumed an International aspect. Act

fact, it appears that the negotiat-

while no such thing as an ultima

ment that the Colombian Minister
here, Concha, has distinctly infor-
med the State Department that he
cannot, in behalf of his govern
ment, accept the last proposition of
the United States as basis for a
