ONLY AN ICE FREE PORT
For Which Russia Has Been Distur-
ing the World.

London, Nov. IA correspondent OF
the Times at st. Petersburg says it is
admitted in official circle that the
policy which led to the occupation of
Port Arthur and Manchuria was not
worth the expenditure of the money
and blood it had entailed, and that the
attempt to secure an ice free port in
the Pacific has so far proved a fail
ure.
The construction of a huge break
water at Dalny as a protection against
high seas only resulted in making the
harbor ice bound in winter, the lack

HORNS LAST HOPE GONE
The Prosecution 0vercame the Afiida-
Wits in His Favor.

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Nov. 12.-The prose-
cution in the famous Tom Horn case
today, seems to have swept away ever
chance Horn has had for a commuta-
ton of his sentence to life impTison-
ment.
The defense was vigorously attacKcd
at every point.
Victor Miller swore in an affidavit
presented to Governor Chatterton that
he never confessed the killing of Willis
Nickel to Miss KiInmell and tn.
bloody sweater" alleged to have been
worn by Horn on the day OF the muir
der was identified.
Prof. Hayne of Chicago, a famous
expert, declared the spots human
blood.
An affidavit was presented in which
Chas. Fletcher swore he saw Horn
shoot Willie Nickel. About forty n
fidavits were presented in rebutta;
which seem to entirely destroy the ef-
tect of the numerous affidavits offered
oy Horns attorneys two weeks ago.

DOG ATTACKS A BABY.

Last Thursday morning Genevieve,
the baby daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs j.
A. Bollinger, while alone on the porch
with their coach dog, was set upon by
the beast, and before she could be res
cued was bitten under the eye, in
side the lip and on the left arm. The
baby's first scream drew her mother's
attention and when she looked through
the doorway and saw the dog worrying
at her baby's throat she was chained to
the spot with horror. Mrs. Collins.
who was present, started toward the
brute but fell in a faint. Mrs. Bollin-
ger then drove the dog off. The baby
was bleeding profusely, but none of
the wounds were very deep. Had the
animal fastened upon the little one s
throat it is likely she would have
been killed. Dan Mckenzie, brother
travelling man of Mr.. Bollinger, who
was their guest, pumped seven shots
from a revolver into the dogs body
and ended his career. New Hampton
