ton Of the national banks of the United

large purchases have been made for
Philippine coinage, have caused much
interest at the treasury department.

A ROYAL SCANDAL.
Spanish Dowaser Drives Princess
EuIaIia Out of Spain in Disgrace
for DESERVING Her Hu-oand.

Madrid. May 21.-The queen mother,
angry at the Princess Eulalia for de-
serting her husband, has ordered her
out of Spain. =
The situation is painful, for the prin-
cess is popular with the people and an
international favorite. Moreover she is
understood to have the best possible
reasons for leaving a disreputable hus-
band. But the Spanish royal family is
proud, and it's strict Catholic principles
not only frown on such things, but en-
join on royalty the necessity Of setting
a good example. The unfortunate prin-
cess visited Chicago in 1893 and be-
came a great favorite in America

COTTON STILL SCARS.
New High Points Reached on an En-
thusiastic Market Today.

New York, May 21.-The enormous gains
OF yesterday effected no appreciable de-
crease in the bullish excitement and en-
thusiasm at the opening Of the cotton
market today. First prices were to 8
points higher and on covering by the
shorts a new high level for the season
was reached. July selling at 11.S6. August
at I.02 and September at 9.73.
At the best point of the morning
profit taking, became more general, and
before midday prices had declined to
% points. With many in the trade
continually feeling for the top, this had
naturally brought in a considerable
volume of scalping orders on the short
side These shorts were completely
routed upon publication Of the regular
weekly report Of the weather bureau,
which reflected much less favorable
conditions than had been expected.
Violent Efforts to cover caused another
sharp advance within ten minutes,
and prices advanced to s points.

The Labor Troubles Threaten to Drive
Out Industries.
Chicago, May 21-The business inter-
ests Of the city have become alarmed
at the constant strikes and labor con-
troversies that have marked the last
three months, and are refusing to en-
large local plaEts as planned. The
Frazer Chalmers Company has aband-
oned a proposed million dollar improve
ment to its local plant. Business men
express confidence that organized labor
will ultimately adjust itself to economic
conditions, and declare the desired
change will probably be brought about
by the organization Of employers.
Provincial cities of Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Indiana and Ohio are constantly
making efforts to take industrial con-
Germs away from Chicago, and they oc-
casionally make a striking achieve
ment. On the other hand far more
concerns are attracted to the great
center by the irresistible tendency of
business to concentrae than are driven
out by the disadvantages Of the city.

Lexington, KY, May 21.-Curtis Jetr
charged with the murder Of J. B. Mar
cum, was brought into circuit court to-
day at Winchester on a motion to dis
miss the habeas corpus proceedings.
The county attorney was not present,
out Jailer Boone, against whom the re-
lief measure was directed. conducted
his own case. The court decided to hold
Jett and made statement that to re-
turn him to jackson. KY, would be to
instantly turn him loose. He will await
the action Of the Breathitt grand jury.
It is said there was some trick in to-
days proceedings in the case, which
Judge Benton turned down. The
habeas corpus motion had been over,
ruled, and the case set for hearing
June to ascertain the facts as to the
killing and to satisfy the court whether
he should hold Jett at all.
Jett's attorney came into court and
made a motion to dismiss his own mo-
ton. The judge believed this prepar-i
tory step to demanding an examining
trial, as the low provides. In this case
he could not get Breathitt witnesses
and Jett could ask for a dismissal in
their absence.

PRESIDENT INTERESTED.
Demands to Know If This Country Can
Help the Jews.

sa H6lp the Jews. s
/ Washington, May 21.-President
Roosevelt has manifested a deep and
painful interest in the reports Of OUT
RACES upon Jews in Russia. Mr.. Roose-
velt was SO much stirred that he wired
the state department for information,
and the tenor Of his dispatch indicated
the wish on his part that If it be pos
sible, without too violent a wrench of
diplomatic proprieties, the United
States government take some action
in regard to the affair. The president
has not given instructions that our
government shall make representations
to Russia, but he has asked If there is
anything the government may proper
ly do. 1t is not impossible the presi-
dent may yet conclude he wants some
sort OF a dispatch sent from this gov
ernment to st. Petersburg. The adj
vice of the department, following prec-
edents, is against such action, and the
probabilities are nothing will be done
in the way Of official expression. But
it cannot as yet be said that the mat
ter is settled and it will not be settled
until the president has been finally
heard from.
p = Inc state department learns that
since the Kishenefff massacre, Count
Casslni. the Russian ambassador, has
received many anonymous letters
threatening his life. He processes no
concern over them, but it is said he is
taking unusual precautions.
A Bucharest cable says: A reliable
person who visited Kisheneff two days
after the massacre, says 175 Jews were
killed outright and 1858 wounded. Six

juries, making total Of 235 dead.

There was a slamming of doors and

Dombarie thought it was occasioned by
haste in the wedding preparations, but
Mrs. Edgar and her two daughters.
Miss Julia and Miss Caroline, were bar

Mr.. Edgar that there was crank in

like to have him held for disorderly

When Dombarie Kurrain realized that
he was under arrest and suspected of

A Uniform Course of Study for South
Dakota High School Is Adopt
ed at Canton Meetino

adjourned Saturday after one OF the.
most successful sessions ever held. The

the questions decided was that districts
in which school is not maintained for

4erning their election was declared to be
constitutional. 1t was also decided
that where teachers were compelled to
close schools on order of the board on
account of epidemics, they could COLI
lect their salaries the same as if school
was being taught. 1t was decided tha-
pupils should be excused from certain
studies where the. objection Of the par
ents to studies in question was reason
able. 1t was the sense of the meeting
that alien women whose husbands were
naturalized, but they We're not, could
not vote at school elections.

Referring to the responsibility Of
subordinates in official matters, the
postmaster general said that the sub
officials will be responsible for their
own acts, and should not obey an order
that was not lawful; that an unlawful
order is no order at all, so far as the
is concerned.
Tulloch Says He Doesn't Know.
Ex-Cashier Tulloch was in Washing
ton yesterday, and in an interview said:
Il notice Mr.. Payne observes that
could know nothing more about the
postal service in Porto Rico than about
the postal service in Chicago. Perhaps
Mr.. Payne is not aware that as cashier
of the Washington city postof1ce no
postmaster in Porto Rico could secure
even a box of matches that I did not
pay for. Not only was I the cashier
for every postoffice in Porto Rico, but
was also auditor Of the accounts, which
had to watch carefully lest some en-
ployes might double up on me-
Touching the question of expenses for
individuals which auditing officers re-
fused to pass, Mr.. Tulloch said:
II know that in some cases where
these men came in with expenses which
the accounting officers of the treasury
would not pass a very ingenious scheme
was devised to help them out. By di-
rection of First Assistant Heath the
names of these employees would be or
dered kept on the pay rolls for a long
time, long enough to make sufficient
money in salary to equal the tabooed
accounts. I know in one case a favor
ite had come back to Washington and
his name had been dropped from the
rolls. He had been drawing pay at the
rate of $1,000 a year, but it was
found that some of his expenses
would not pass the auditing
officers. Forthwith an order
came to me to put him on the rolls at
$1,400. He performed no additional
work, but was paid a salary till the
deficiency was made up. In other
words the government was made to pay
itself"
