THE PRESIDENT ANGRY.
II Senator Burton Opposes Evani
Advancement, Roosevelt VIII
Retain Him in Pension Office.

Washington, April 5.-President
Roosevelt has taken cognizance of
the threat made by Senator Burton
that he will oppose the nomination
of Pension Commissioner Evans for
any other place in the public service
if his name is sent to the senate
The president expressed considerable
indignation during a discussion with
two members of congress at the
threat made by the senator from
Kansas, and his remarks on the sub
ject caused the Kansas contingent
some worry when they became
known. President Roosevelt is
quoted as saying that if Senator
Burton or any other senator OPP
poses Evans confirmation to another
place in the public service on which
an agreement may be reached he
will retain him in the pension Office.

MCPHERSON, Kan, April 5.-Rev.
Granville Louther, the minister re-
Gently convicted of heresy by the
Methodist church, has issued the fol-
lowing statement: 81 have been asked
if I were going to appeal from the
decision of the court. I think I viii
not. Should I appeal and the deci-
sion be reversed, there is still lack of
sufficient harmony between me and
the church in general to make it un-
pleasant for Inc and to make my sue
cess doubtful. We have grown to be
wealthy and are in the grasp of cap
italism. My heart and soul are with
the oppressed, and my church is so
much controlled by their oppressors
that fear / am an evolutionist, and
the majority of our ministers think
that is infidelity. I am an advocate
of holiness in this life, and our peo-
pie, immersed in the competitive
struggles of business, commercialism
and wars, think that is impracticable.
1 believe that no creed can compass
the whole range of truth, and that
men ought to be free to express their
convictions"

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.
American Farm Products Exported In 1901
to the Value of S952. O00. 0OO-Our Im-
ports Only $500, 100000.

Washington, April THE depart
ment of agriculture has issued a
statement of the foreign trade of the
United States in agricultural prod
ucts. It shows that during the fiscal
year 1901 foreign countries purchased
American farm products to the value
of 1852, 100000, representing the
largest agricultural exports in our
history. Compared with the record
for 1900 they show an increase of
over 500, 900.
Our agricultural imports, on the
other hand, disclose a considerable
falling off when contrasted with the
trade of the year preceding. The
various products of agriculture re-
ceived from foreign sources GU-;ng
1901 had an aggregate value OF onIy
$685., 100000, or $2S,OOO,OOO less than
in 1900.
In comparison with the value or
our agricultural imports our agricul
tural exports show the exceptionally
large excess of $56O,OOO,OOO.

POOR OLD ST. LOUIS.
Grand Jury Says Bribery and Corruption
Exists In City Affairs to APP
palling Degree.

st. Louis, April Most sensation
al charges are made by the February
grand jury which has been Investigate
ing bribery and official corruption in
the municipal assembly, in it's final
report to the criminal court Satur-
day. The report declares that the
people of ST. Louis have but vague
conception of the extent to which
corruption and venality have for the
past ten years existed among the
sworn officers and public servants. 1t
finds the true condition of affairs al
most too appalling for belief. The
persons against whom indictments
for bribe-giving and bribe-taking have
been returned are but a small per-
centage of those whom inquiry con-
vinces the jury deserve to wear the
garb Of convicts. These indictments,
already made public, were returned
by the grand jury: Bribery, Robert
N. Snyder; attempted bribery, Ed
ward Butler, John H. Becker; per-
jury, George J. Kobusch.

ceedings in the circuit court. A legal
technicahty was discovered. Judge
Perkins set aside the decree of di
vorce, leaving Potter with two wives,
yet he is not charged with bjgamy
The second wife lives in Oklahoma.

THE TRAIN HoLDUP.
A Telegram Concerning the Affair Sent to
Burlington Headquarters by Sc.
Joseph Omcials.

ST. Louis, April 5.-The following
telegram was received yesterday at
the headquarters of the Burlington
route in this city from ST. Joseph
officials of the system:
Burlington train No. Is, which
left St. Joseph for the west at 11:40
p. M, April 5, was stopped at 1855
p. m. one mile north of the water
works and just outside of the city of
st. Joseph, by four masked men, who
compelled the engineer and fireman
to attempt to cut off the baggage ear.
The attempt to uncouple the baggage
car was unsuccessful. Thereupon the
baggageman was ordered to open the
door. This was done. The interior
of the car was looked over, but no
valuables of any description were
discovered, whereupon the engineer
was ordered to go on with his train,
which had been delayed, all told, 80
minutes. There was no violence used.
No passengers were disturbed and
no railroad or express property was
taken.'

THE STAND COLLAPSED.
Twenty One Persons Killed and $50 In.
jured at Glasgow. Scotland, During the
International Football Match.

Glasgow, April THE casualty
lists of the Ibrox park disaster, when
number of persons were killed or
injured by the collapsing of specta-
tors stand during the international
football match Saturday between En-
gland and Scotland, have been COM
pleted. They eclipse all the reports
and estimates of the casualties
current Saturday night. The disas-
ter has resulted in the death of 21
persons and the injury of $50.
The action of the authorities at
Ibrox park in averting panic by
permitting the game to proceed,
while they encouraged the impress
sion of the crowd within the enclo-
cure that the accident was not so
direful is now generally commended.
The incongruity of the yells of ap-
plause mingling with the groans of
the struggling sufferers will never
be forgotten by those who witnessed
the scene at the rear of the terrace

FIRST MINISTER TO CUBA.
HI. G. Squiers. Secretary of the American
Legation at Pei<in. Selected for Inn
portant d plomatic Post.

Washington, April I'll. c. Squiers,
secretary of the American legation at
Pekin, has been selected to be United
States minister to Cuba. The selec-
ton fell to Mr.. Squiers on account
of his enviable record in the service
in China. His conduct during the
trouble in China, and particularly dur
ing the absence of Minister Conger,
was marked by conservatism and wis
dom that won the warm approval of
the state department. The president
believes Mr.. Squiers possesses just
the diplomatic experience and ability
required of the first United States
minister to the new republic of Cuba.

Minister C0nger Forwards Chinese Edicts
Recently Issued Which Indicate That
Customs Are Being Abrogated.

Washington, April 5.-The state de-
partment made public copies of two
Chinese edicts. which were sent by
United States Minister Conger at
Picking under date of February 5.
These edicts indicate the loosening
of the bonds of custom and the pres
emit trend toward a new order of
things. The first edict removes the
prohibition of inter-marriage between
Manchus and Chinese, and is of polit-
tcal significance, says Mr.. Conger, as
indicating a. desire to emphasize less
strongly the distinction between
rulers and ruled. 1t also bids Chi
aese officials and gentry to persuade
Chinese women to do away with the
old custom of foot-binding and let
their extremities grow as nature in
tended. The. practice, says the edict,
is "an0 injury to the good order of
creation" g
