aid will be extended to lessen the suffer-
ing, but the deplorable condition of af-
fairs cannot be wholly remedicd and it is
estimated that Il great proportion of the
400, 900 or 100000 persons now literally
starving will perish miserably before
the passing of winter.
\ discouraging crop failure, the worst
Finland has experienced III fifty years,
is responsible for the present suffering
The average grain crop of the country
is valued at 100000, 900, and the esti-
mated value of the crop OF 1902 is only
$2O,0O0000, the failure being almost total
in the northern third of the country.
Peas and beans have entirely failed and
the potato crop has not been gathered.
The hay rotted in the fields or was swept
away by floods. so it was a complete loss.
The only food now available to thou
sands of Finlanders is a bitter bread
made from unripe rye and barley which
hungry horses refuse to eat, or bread

fore Allowing Inquiry.
Arbitration of Venezuela's difficulties
with the powers of Europe seems farther
from achievement now than it has since
the first proposal for such settlement
was made. Dispatches from Berlin and
Caracas Indicate that both President Cas-
tro and Germany have imposed almost
insurmountable barriers in the way of
arbitration. Germany, it is said, takes
the position that Venezuela must pay the
Kaiser's government 100000 bollvars
before it will consent to submit its other
claims to The Hague Tribunal. Presi-
dent Castro conditions employment Of
arbitration on the return to Venezuela
Of the warships captured by the allies,
feat which is impossible, because the
prizes were sunk in the deep Caribbean
Sea. Whether these terms apply in case
President Roosevelt becomes arbitrator
cannot be learned. The press of Berlin
says that it is understood that President
Roosevelt's undertaking to arbitrate in
wolves an indirect guaranty for the pay
ment of the sum to be awarded.

and ended his sufferings.
A large number of negro men and
women from the various mining camps III
the vicinity, among them Mont and Joe
Cooley, brothers, were drinking and ca
rousins at ball. Hinkle requested them
to be quiet. The Cooley brothers an

he tried to arrest them. They resisted
and Hinkle began his whistle for help
Then he began to use his club in order
to protect himself from the onslaught
of the crowd. He was holding his own
against three of them when Mont Cooley
grabbed the revolver from the police
mans scabbard, and, placing the muzzle
behind the ear of his victim, pulled the
trigger. Other policemen pursued the
negroes, all of whom started to run.
The Cooley brothers were captured
and locked up in the city Jail. The news
of the murder spread and crowd gath

began to supplicate and beg the officers
to protect him, but they were oyerpow.

mob.
Cooley was dragged from the Jail into
the yard and given a few moments tc

away from the Jail. Procuring a rope
the mob hanged him to a telephone pole
| The rope broke and Cooley fell to the
ground. Some one in the crowd cut his
throat, severing the jugular vein. He

MAY Be DELAYED
Many Members Favor Forcing Governors Hand
for an Extra Session.. House Will Decide
at Once It's Attitude on Matter.
(From Thursdays dany.)

What will be done this session in regard the appropra
ton bills will be decided within the days. The bills
in the Senate have been laid
the House committee has not yet reported There will be
meeting this morning which will settle the disposition
lower body.
Some of the members of the lower house expressed
the opinion that would be unwise to make decided
with the appropriation bills this time They
organic act mandatory to the calling of extra session
by the Governor in the of there being appropriation
bills and they of opinion that they should along till
the end of the sixty days. regular matters and then the
extra session and the 5000 each.
Chairman Harris of the appropriations committee would
not discuss the matter last evening further than that
he thought action should be had at show that the
legislature appreciated the action of Congress making the
term sixty days in length and then it proved impossible
complete the business there might be action by the Governor
in the event he deemed the general legislation still hanging of
sufficient Importance call the session into extra being
extend it. He said there would be action by the appro
pations committee he had the bills ready for reporting
and he thought the best thing put them in the posses
sion of the House Owing to the fact that it has taken two
weeks to short report printed there little chance
that the will be printed and considered within the
coming eleven days.
though the outlook is that much of it will die natural death
if it is taken for regular consideration There will be hard
work done in the next few days it decided put the
appropriation that the extra session
for their consideration the members will pile up heavy
legislation possible that the Governor will have
his hands full to read and pass upon the measures.
