The Safe Opening Case.

WASHINGTON, May. T.. The al- legged abstraction of papers from the safe of the office of the assistant attor- ney general by Mrs. James N. Tyner, wife of the then assistant attorney gen eral, is now regarded as practically a closed incident. The papers were re- ported taken on April 21, and the case was referred to the United States attor- ney for the District of Columbia week later. The matter has not progressed further. It has not been presented to the grand jury, and it is generally be- lieved that the grand jury would not be likely to take action because of lack of proof that the papers taken were gov ernment property

A TRIBUTE TO TIE ROUGH RIDERS
Reception to Members of old Regf- ment-A Fifteen Mile Horseback - Ride to a Miners Camp
 For Luncheon.

GRAND CANYON. Ariz., May 7.- Arizona welcomed President Roosevelt here yesterday, and the welcome it gave him was a warm one. A special train from Flagstaff brought large crowd. and people also came in from the surrounding country on horseback and in wagons. The presidents train arrived here at o'clock in the morn ing, and until it left, at o'clock in the evening. he was constantly on the go. Horses were in waiting at the station as the train pulled in. and after the president had greeted a number of members of his old regiment he mount ed and took a twelve mile ride. Then he returned to the hotel, where he made a brief address to the people and presented diplomas to the graduates of the Flagstaff school.
 Tt was from Arizona" said the pres ident in opening his address, "that so many gallant men came into the regi- ment that had the honor to command. Arizona sent men who won glory on hard fought fields and men to whom came a glorious and honorable death fighting for the flag of their country. As long as live it will be to me an in- spiration to have served with 'Bucky' O'Neil."
 The president also paid a compliment to Governor Brodie, who was a men- Der of his regiment and who intro duced him to the audience.
 Arizona" continued the president, Sis one of the regions for which an ttcipate the most benefit from the wise action of congress in passing the frri- gation law. look forward to the eff fects of irrigation, partly as applied by the government and still more as ap piled by individuals, proft1ng by the experience of the government and pos sibly with help from it, as being of greater consequence to this region of the country in the next fifty years than other material movement whatsoever"
 Speaking of the Grand canyon, the president said he believed 1t was abso- luteIy unparalleled in the world.
 ''I want to ask you to do one thing in connection with it," he said. 'In your own interest and the interest of all the country keep this great wonder of na- ture as 1t now it. hope you won't have building of any kind to mar the wonderful grandeur and sublimity of the canyon"
 At the conclusion of his remarks the president, with Governor Brodie, Presi- dent Butler of Columbia university and Dr. Rixey, rode out to miners camp about fifteen miles from here, where he had luncheon. He spent the remain der of the afternoon inspecting the can yon and at 5:30 o'clock received the members of his old regiment in his car. At o'clock his train left for Califor- mia. -.

 The Taft base ball team and the Gunnery team played an interesting game at the fair grounds yesterday af ternoon. Although neither team played exceptionally well in the field, the play ing of the Taft team was a great inn provement over Mondays work. The honors for Taft were carried off by Sanford, Cleveland and McGowan, the first allowing but three hits to be made off his delivery and the latter two dis tinguished themselves by their stick work. Cleveland out of four times at bat succeeded in swatting the ball safe ly each time. McGowan's batting was also a feature. For the Gunnery, Flower, Spencer and Finley played the best game. Finley, however, was not so steady as Sanford. as he was touched up for eleven safe drives. The following is the score and summary:

CLORIANIA WRECKED
Fishing Schooner Strikes 8
 Reef, and Crew Perish.
THREE SURVIVORS ON TIE CLIFFS.
Gloucester Fishermen Meet Death En an Angry Sea on a Notorious ly Dangerous Coast Near
 White Point LedGes.

CANSO, N. s., May 7.-The American fishing schooner Gloriania, Captain George Stoddart, of Gloucester ran ashore during thick fog on the cliffs at Whale cove, near White Point ledges, during the night, and fifteen of the crew, including the captain, were drowned out of total of eighteen.
 The Gloriania left the northeast bar of Sable island in the afternoon, bound for Canso. There was heavy easterly gale blowing, with thick fog. The yes sel was kept under short sail. and it is presumed that Captain Stoddart be- lieved he had plenty of sea room. When the Gloriania struck on the lodges she passed over the outer ones, but brought up on the inner reef, but ted against cliff of rocks and then fell off into the sea. When the vessel struck the cliff Richards, Leblanc and Kicker son, tke three men saved, were on deck, and they ran forward, rushed out on the bewsprit and climbed up the cliff of rocks to a place of safety before receding wave carried the vessel off again Others of the crew who were below rushed on deck half clad and started to lower the dories. AS soon as each boat touched the water it was smashed into pieces.
 The high seas were breaking clean over the vessel, and she swung broad side on the lodges and commenced pounding heavily. Lines were thrown ashore from the schooner several times, but they were either broken or torn from their fastenings on the rocks by the surging of the vessel. Four of the crew jumped overheard and attempted to swim ashore. but they were caught in the breakers, dashed against the rocks and killed in the attempt. The others who were on the vessel took to the rigging and chung there while their strength lasted, but the enormous seas were more than they could battle against, and one by one they were swept away. The three men on the rocks could see their comrades clingfng to the rigging and heard their shouts for help above the roar of the sea, but 1t was impossible to do anything to save them.
 The three survivors spent terrible night on the cliffs. When daylight dawned they saw one man still clin5%ng to the rigging and made their way to the mainland for assistance. The shore folk hurried to the scene of the wreck, and the man was taken from the rig ging, but he was dead.
 The place where the Gloriania was wrecked is one of the most dangerous on the Nova Scotia coast. It is less than a mile from where the steamer Blaa- manden was totally wrecked last year and only half mile from the scene of the wreck of the steamer Tiber in Feb ruary, 1902, when twenty-two lives were lost. The three survivors were brought here and are being cared for by the United States consul They say that the vessel is a total wreck. None of the bodies has been recovered.

and the county's part of the purchase
