KING EDWARD VISITS CORK
The Royal Party Is Warmly Wei
coined by Enthusiastic Irishmen.
Ireland from Legislation on Which
Parliament Is Now Engaged.

Cork, Aug 3.-The firing of royal
salutes and enthusiastic cheering well
coined King Edward, Queen Alexandra
and the royal party on their arrival at
Cork Saturday morning on board the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert from
Berehaven. The port was bright with
bunting, the whole town was well
decorated, and the streets were filled
with jubilant sightseers. The lord
mayor and corporation of Cork well
coined the visitors when they landed.
Their majesties drove through the
decorated streets, which were lined with
troops and bluejackets, to the race
course, where the king presented colors
to two Irish regiments.
The Catholic bishop of Cork was in
vlted to assist at the ceremony of bless
ing the colors, most of the men being
Catholics, but he refused to be asso-
ciated with the Protestant chaplain.
During the afternoon their majesties
visited the exhibition. The royal pro-
cession to the grounds was greeted
everywhere with the same warmth
which marked the previous functions
during the kings tour. Addresses were
presented by several local bodies, to
which the king replied, saying that his
previous great interest in the welfare of
Ireland had been further deepened by his
present visit. He had gained clearer
insight into the conditions of Irish life
and hoped that the legislation on which
parliament was engaged would power
fully contribute to the prosperity and
contentment of the Irish people But,
good laws alone would not secure that
end. There was need of better indus
trial training for the young, a keener
spirit of cooperation among all classes
and the creation of new and varied
sources Of employment for the people,
Their majesties subsequently re-
turned to Queenstown where they re-
ceived further addresses. The king in
his farewell reply said that the people
could rest assured that he had the in
terest of Ireland at heart, which remark
elected vociferous cheering and much
waving of flags and hats. The royal visit
to Ireland was thus brought to sue
ceSSful close.

Washington, Aug. s. Postmaster
General Payne resumed his official du-
ties in the department Saturday. He
had long conference with his assist
ants during the morning, and for several
hours talked over the investigation with
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow. The latter reviewed every
thing that had been done during Mr..
Payne's absence. The postmaster gen.
eral shows that his trip has greatly bene-
flied him, and he says he feels very much
improved. Mr.. Payne said that the in
vestigation was not ended, although he
hoped the end was in sight. He said
it might be completed in four weeks, but
it was impossible to fix and exact date
He said the president, in common with
himself and Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General Bristow, will be glad when
the investigation is over, but that none
of them wants the inquiry closed until
every irregularity has been ferreted out
Mr.. Payne pointed out that inspectors
are working on the cases in various
parts of the country and developments
not now foreseen may occur at any time.
MIR. Payne declares that every one
against whom any evidence has been
found will be treated according to the
evidence, and that no one will be shield

Counsel for August w. Machen Satur-

Machen was an officer of the government
at the time the offenses alleged were
committed. Machen withdrew plea of
not guilty.
The demurrer to indictment for
bribery against Diller B. and Samuel A.
Croft, in connection with Machen, also
was filed. Like Machen, the Croft broth
ers withdrew their plea of not guilty, and
say every count of the indictment is de-
fective. The demurrer contends that the
indictment does not in legal manner
charge the defendants with the commits
sion of any offense against the United
States, and that it does not charge any
act or promise which is crime or mis-
demeanor under any law of the United
States.

Revising tho Laws.

The work of revising the statutes of
Minnesota is progressing steadily, and
the revision commissioners expect to
have the work done at the opening of
the next legislature.
The method employed is to take up a
chapter of the old statutes at time
and from this revision is made into
sections. Chapters are assigned to diff
ferent members of the board, and as
the work is completed the board as a
whole passes on it.
The scheme of the revision will be
different from that of most complia-
tions. The statutes will be divided in
to chapters, and the entire work will
be subdivided into sections, the num-
boring commencing at the beginning of
the book The distinctive feature is
that of making of the title instead of
the chapters the primary division.
When completed the revision will be
submitted to the legislature in the
form of bill.

County Exhibits.


One of the most valuable features OF
Minnesota State Fair has developed
from the offer of the management OF
special premiums for county exhibits.
Competition has been keen among the
counties in the last two or three fairs
and at the fair of 1903 it promises to be
still more attractive. More counties
than ever will participate in the dis
play, and building on the experience
of former years, the exhibits will GER
tainly be finer.
The fair management offers $1,000
for county exhibits to be divided pro
rata among the county exhibits scor-
ing seventy points or more, and in ad-
dition makes these offerings:
For the exhibit scoring highest in
this class an additional $500 will be
paid; for the exhibit scoring second
highest, $3.50; for the exhibit scoring
third highest, 500; for the exhibit
scoring fourth highest, SIS; for the ex-
hibit scoring the fifth highest; $50; for
the exhibit scoring sixth highest, SIS.
For taste and design in arrangement
of the exhibits in this class, the follow
ing premiums are offered: 1st-S6o. 90,
2d-$5O. 90, 3d-$4O.Oo, $4,000, 5th
$1,000 Entries in this class must be
