TO THE WORLDS TRADE
TWO MANcHURIAN PORTS WILL
BE OPENED AS OUTCOME OF
RECENT NEGOTIATIONS.
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS GRA7IFIED
FEEL THEY HAVE SECURED =
VERY SUBSTANTIAL GAIN
IN CONCESSIONS MADE.

Washington, July 17.-The Manchu
factorily to this government. Assur
ances have been received from the
Chinese government that it will, in
the near future, open as treaty ports
several ports now closed to the worlds
trade: The Russian government has
United States government that it will
not in any way oppose such opening.
While the ports to be opened are
not yet specified it is gathered from
the communications received that they
are Moukden, the principal inland
the mouth of the Yalu river. The
state department is highly gratified at
this outcome, feeling that it has Sc
cured not only more American COM
merce, but for the commerce of the
world at large very substantial gain.
1t now develops that the meeting of
Russian Off cials at Port Arthur, just
concluded, was but one of the steps,
though an important one, which the
St. Petersburg government had planned
In Execution of Its Purpose
to place matters of internal admins
tration in Manchuria in such condition
that the ports desired by the United
States and Japan could be opened to
trade without causing disturbance or
involving undue sacrifice of proper
Russian interests. 1t already has been
represented that much of the friction
that had grown out of the Manchurian
question was caused by sort of triple
yet Independent administration of af-
fairs in Manchuria by representatives
of the different branches of the Rus
sian government. The result was that
one official would not feel bound by the
pledges made by another, so that for
eign nations complained of bad faith.
1t is understood that now, following
the Port Arthur conference, compact
and responsible direction of affairs has
been arraD Led for and orders issued
from ST. Petersburg are certain to
meet with speedy and exact compli
ance.
Although no set time is mentioned in
the promise to open the ports it is be-
ieved that this will follow soon after
the Russian evacuation in September.

KNAPP FOUND GUILTY
SELF CONFESSED STRANGLER OF
MANY WOMEN CONVICTED
AT HAMILTON, o.
NO RECOMMENDATION OF CLEkENCY
PENALTY FOR MURDER IN FIRST
DEGREE IS DEATH IN THE
ELECTRIC CHAIR.

Hamilton, o., July 17.-Alfred A.
Knapp has been convicted of murder
in the first degree for the murder of
his wife, Hannah Goddard Knapp, by
Judge Belden's jury here. The ver-
dict was reached at 1880 a. m., the
jury having been out since 5 o'clock
the previous evening. To the surprise
of everybody there was no recommen-
dation of mercy and the famous Grim
ina1 must go to the electric chair. 1t
was thought that the long delibera-
tion argued that the degree of the
crime would be reduced. The jury
stood ten for conviction without
mercy and two for conviction with
mercy, being unanimously for guilty.
Repeated ballots were taken and
shortly after o'clock it was found
that an agreement had been reached.
Judge Belden was sent for and ar
rived about 1880. Knapp was brought
into court by Sheriff Bisdorf. There
were but few spectators present and
there was no excitement. Knapp took
his seat quietly and did not appe r
esAcIA AuGO. w ACA CAC EOAOAOI 90 = OSSA
to him without recommendation for
mercy he did not show any sign of
emotion or make any comment. Fe
seemed to have prepared himself for
the ordeal. Knapp was taken back to
jail at once and Sheriff Bisdorf will
allow no outsiders to see him.
The result was received with great
satisfaction, as hope of convict I
became low when the jury remained
out so long. Knapp's mother and SIS
ter were much affected when thy
heard the verdict.
The case will be carried higher on
the usual appeals, but it is generally
believed that Knapp will now be cleo
trocuted.
List of Admitted Crimes.
The five cases to which Knapp con-
fessed Feb. 26 to officials here are as
follows:
Emma Littlemann, killed in lumber

Explosion of Firedamp in British Co.
Iumbia Mine.
Nanaimo, B. c., July 17.-Word has
reached here that by an explosion of
fredamp in No. 6 mine, Cumberland,
where fifty Cinnamon and four white
men were employed, twelve Chinese
were killeo and eight injured. Very
little property damage was done.
Since the strike the mine has been
worked entirely by Mongolians, with
a few white overmen. The mine was
very gaseous, safety lamps being used
always. The explosion occurred just
after lunch, when the mine was in t }
most dangerous condition, as the shots
had been fired just before lunch. Notn-
ing was known of the disaster at the
surface until two Cinnamon came up
in an excited condition, followed BY
others at short intervals, the eXpIosi l
having no effect beyond section Of
the original wall of the incline be-
ing broken. A rescue party headed
by Manager Mathews and composed Of
white overmen went down to the scene
of the disaster and proceeded to get
out the injured, but the deadly black
damp made this a slow and dangerous
process.
This IL the mine where an explosion
occurred two years ago in which fifty
men lost their lives.

has written them from Russian pris.

Although the letter was written and
mailed six weeks ago it has just

McCamish and two other Americans
sailed from Yokohama with permission
from the government of Japan to hunt
fur animals in the Kurrie islands.
They were caught in a gale and swept
toward the Russian islands, where they
eventually all went ashore to get wa
ter and other supplies.
The Russians suspected them of
sealing and threw them into jail
There they have since remained, half
starved and shut off from any appeal
to the representative of their govern
ment, doomed to long terms of i'm
prisonment An effort will be made
to have the authorities at Washington
act in the matter.

FOUR PERSONS PERIsHED.
Bonner Springs (Kan.) sanitarium De-

Bonner Springs, Kan, July IL
Four persons lost their lives in a fire
which destroyed Bonner Springs sani-
tarium here. The dead are: Captain
J. A. Mcclure, Junction City, Kan, a
former ATTIC cney for the Union Pacific
railroad; Miss jamie Campbell, pa.

tient, Lawrence, Kan; DR.. A. E. Rog-
ers, the steward.
The fire started in the laundry at
the west end of the main building and
reached the room of the main structure
before it was discovered. A light wind
drove the blaze into the halls and
rooms on every floor The entire
building was filled with smoke before
the inmates, about thirty in number,
were awakened. A nurse named Payne
went into the hall and heard DR.. Rog-
ers calling for help. Payne broke open
the door and led Rogers part way down
the hall, telling him to follow. 1t was
found, however, that DR.. Rogers hi
stopped to save woman patient and
was burned to death. All those who
were burned were evidently first suffo.

BECOMES MORE CRAVE
CONDITION OF POPE LEO AGAIN
ASSUMES A MORE DANGER.
Gus ASPECT.
ANOTHER OPERATION IS IMPERATIVE
PLEURITIc LIQUID GATHERS IN
LARGE QUANTITY AND MUST
BE REMOVED.
PASSES A DECIDEDLY BAD NIGHT
HAS GREAT DIFFICULTY BRENTH-
ING AND SUFFERS FROM
REsTLEssNESS

Rome, July 1.-THE pope's condi
pect Besides the continuance of the
pontiff's extreme weakness the doctors
faced the ominous prospect of another
operation for the removal of the pleu
ritic liquid.
The pope continued restless, but had
several periods of comparative ease
During one of these he gave another
evidence of his remarkable vitality by
taking holy communion during the eel
ebration of mass in honor of the Ma
donna of the Carmelites. The cere-
mony was held in the chapel adjoining
the sick room, the doors being open
1t was a pathetically solemn event, as
by the popes request those participat'
ing, besides DR.. Lapponi and Pho Cen
ira, included a number of his trusted
dCmestics, five sweepers and two por'
ters.
The doctors are unable to announce
definitely when the next operation will
be performed. They fear it may be-
come necessary within twelve hours,
but they are determined to defer it
until it is imperative, fearing that the
enfeebled condition of the patient may
be taxed beyond the final limit.
Toward noon the pontiff dropped off
into an uneasy sleep.
Passed a Very Bad Night.
When DR.. Mazzoni visited the pom
tiff in the morning the latter said the
past night had been one of the worst
he had experienced. He spoke of the
oppression on his chest; the difficulty
in breathing and the uncomfortable
restlessness, giving him, in fact, no
peace in any position. DR.. Lapponi
said the pope had called for him very
often during the night, taking frequent
Cestoratives, especially meat broth,
orangeade and tamarind water. He
felt better, however, after the celebra-
tion of mass, though the communion
had Gained him. In fact, the doctors
proceeded with a thorough eXaminar
tion of his thoraX without fatiguing
him too much. They found the liquid
in the pleura augmented, but not gath
cred in such quantities as to endanger
the patients life by producing pres
sure on the heart or through asphyxia,
which might occur if there were pres
sure on the lower part of the bronchial
tubes. On account of the extreme
weakness of the pontif no new opera
tion for extracting the liquid will be
performed until it is absolutely indis-
pensible.
The secretion of urine has slightly
augmented in the last twenty-four
hours, having reached forty cubic GEN.

Regarding the killing Of his wife,
Hannah Goddard Knapp, for whose
murder he has been convicted, he said
when he awoke the morning of the
crime he was seized with an impulse
to strangle his wife. After killing her
he secured a box and nailed her up.
He hauled the body two miles from
here and threw the corpse into the
Miami river The body was found

Knapp has spent two-thirds Of his
life in prison, but for the five murders
to which he confessed he had been un-
suspected until few unguarded words
caused his arrest.
For years he had been stranger,
he admitted, pouncing upon innocent
children and choking them to death.
He was twice in states prison for as
saults upon women.
