No Medals For Faklr.

An exposition sensation developed
in Charleston when 1t was announced
that the board Of directors had with
drawn the gold medals recently award
ed Arthur C. Jackson, claiming to De
commissioner from Alaska.
Jackson represented himself as pres
,dent Of the Alaska Geographical Asso-
citation, but when information regard
ing this organization was sought from
the Smithsonian institute it was stated
that no such society existed.
Three weeks ago Jackson applied to
the exposition company for permission
to remove his exhibit, saying that he
had to fill an engagement at the Crys'
tai Palace in London. He was not al
lowed to remove his display. After this
he suddenly disappeared, leaving an
assistant in charge.
A few nights ago the assistant Sc
cured small boats, which were moved
up the river, and while everything was
quiet at the Ivory City the exhibit was
taken away. No trace OF it has been
found. When this fact was reported to
the board prompt action was taken,
the result being that the medals were
revoked. Jackson's conduct was a
great surprise to everybody connected
with the exposition.

Guard Stapleton in an adjoining room
Without warning Tracy and Merrill

Ferrell, when Ingram, life prisoner,

Instantly Merrill shot Ingram and
Tracy shot Ferrell, the latter dying al
most instantly. Tracy and Merrill
scaled the wall near the northeast cor

side the wall Guard Jones was shot
twice and killed. Tiffany was also
shot and he dropped from the fence,
engaging the fugitives in fight. His
gun was soon empty. and he was taken

Thousands Take a Look at Glorious
Relic of 1776.
The Liberty bell arrived in Washing
ton Monday en- route to Philadelphia
from the Charleston exposition, where
it has been on exhibition. The arriva!
Of the bell was marked with brief pa
triotic exercises and thousands of peo-
pie passed before the car throughout
the day and viewed the bell. A num-
Der of children were lifted on to the
car, while little punches Of flowers
from other children placed on the car
were carefully laid on top of the bell.
The public schools closed at noon 10
permit the children to view the bell.
Many of them took advantage Of the
opportunity and carried flowers which
they placed on the bell. Reuresenta-
tives of the Daughters Of the Ameri-
can Revolution visited the train late
in the afternoon and carried floral
tributes. During the exercises the
minute men of the district, uniformed
in colonial uniform, took position in
front of the car, where they remained
through the day. The car remained in
Washington over night and proceeded
to Philadelphia at o'clock Tuesday
morning.

BRITISHER AND SPANIARD
Comes to Washington as Representa-
tfves In Diplomatic Service OF
Their Respective Governments.

Two important changes in the diplo-
matte representatives in Washington
were announced Thursday.
The Hon. Michael Herbert succeeds
the late Lord Pauncefote as British
ambassador and Senior de Ojeda sue
ceeds the Duke de ARGOS as Spanish
minister.
Notice of Mr.. Herbert's appointment
simply confirmed the judgment of off,
cials as to the succession and is well
coined by them. At present Mr.. Her.
bert is first secretary of the embassy
at Paris, but with the rank of minister
plenipotentiary. In very few instances
does the British government employ
an official Of such high rank in the Of
fee of secretary Of embassy.
The change In the Spanish legation
here came as distinct surprise to all
but the intimate friends Of the Duke
d'Arcos. He came to the United States
as the first minister after the war and
naturally his position was very deli
cate one, requiring the exhibition OF in
finite tact to. avoid unpleasant Incl
dents. He was very successful In his
mission, While socially his relations
have been very pleasant.
It is understood the change Is attri-
butable entirely to the retiring minis
ter's desire to secure the best possible
treatment for his impaired vision,
which has caused him much and grow
ing concern.
Therefore he has secured transfer
to the Spanish legation at Brussels.
There he will be as near as practicable
to an eye specialist who has already
undertaken his treatment at inconve-
nient intervals.
Senor de Ojeda, who succeeds the
Duke dArco, comes to Washington
with excellent credentials. He was Sec
retary of the Spanish peace commis-
sion at Paris and Is at present minis
Ter to Tangier.

MORGAN in EFFIGY

WiIkesbaTre, Pa.
RANKS OF STRIKERS SWELLED
With Virginia Coal Digsers Out the
Total Army of Idle Men. is In.
creased to Approximately
10000.

A special from Wilkesbarre, Pa,
says: The hanging In efigy of ].
rierpont Slorgan IN one of the streets
of South Wilkcsbarre by crowd of
meu and boys vas the only incident
to mar the Stiffness Of the Wyoming
Valley Saturday morning. After the
efTgy had EccL hanged the crowd
cheered aud peited the object sith
stones until the police came along and
dispersed the throng.
All the mining towns surrounding
the city are very quiet. The news
frob Washington that President
Roosevelt could not find his way clear
to effecting peace between the miners
and operators was received with gen.
usne disappointment. 1t had been
been strongly that the president
would be able to find some means Of
opening up way to peace.
Saturday marked the end of the
fourth week OF the total suspension of
cal mining and the miners and thei:
employers are farther apart than ever.
Virginia Miners Out.
The soft coal miners of the two Vir~
ginias. 10000 strong, struck Saturday
10 enforce their demands against the
operators. All business in the mine
region Is tied up, and in few days the
stagnation will be complete.
With approximately 100000 men out
in the Anthracite region, the strike in
the TWO Virginlas makes an army OF
10000 miners battling for better con-
ditions.
Roosevelt consers With Hanna.
A Washington special says: Sat
urday the president had long confer
ence at the white house with Sena-
Hanna on the coal strike. The presi-
dent conveyed to Mr.. Hanna the idea
that he would very much like to do
something toward setting the coal
strike. Nothing definite, however, was
decided upon. The president also sent
for Carroll D. Wright, the commission
er of labor, to get his views on the sit
uatiop, and also as to what might prop
erly be done by the government look
ing to a settlement Of the controversy.
It is probable that other conferences
will be held and the president kept ad-
vised Of the situation. He will be in
readir ess at any time to extend aid If
it Is found that he can be of service in
settling the differences that exist be-
tween the operators and the miners.
