has received the following telegram
from East Pepperell,s Mass, which is
is in itself explanatory of the high

That we express our heartfelt SYM
patty and perfect faith in the inlO-
cence of Rev. R. H. Kennedy, VINO

led in his daily life the teachings OF
our Lord and Master. Evangelical
Congregational church"
This church, Rev. Kennedy states,
is one of the Oldest in the state OF
Massachusetts, and he is very much
elated over the message Of sympathy
and expressions of faith in his limo
cence and belives that he will have
60 difficulty in proving his where
abouts on the night of the robbery.
Under the advice of his counsel, he re-
trains from discussing his case, but
his defense, it is thought, will be
along the line of an alibi.

arriving at Rila monestary after fast
ing for days and sleeping in the open
airwith the thermometer at 81 degrees,
and their gratitude to the monks. who
shared with them their black bread
and salt and exhausted all their re-
sources to succOr the hungry fugitives.
The correspondent adds:

it imposed on the monks. was but as Il

BOUNDARY DECISION
REPORT is UNTRUE
London Advertisers Story is
Without Founda-
ton.

London, Oct 16.-The Associated
Press has the highest authority for
saying that the announcement made
by the London Morning Advertiser to-
day, that the decision of the Alaskan
boundary commission virtually con
cedes the American case, is entirely
untrue. The commission thus far has
reached no decision and no vote has
been taken, even i'm private sessions,
which would indicate that Chief JUS
tice Alverstone's &position is quite
true. The general trend of opinion
among those conIe ected with the tri-
bunal. aside from he commissioners,
is that the ultimate decision will be
i'm favor of America
The Alaskan commission adjourned
today until tomorrow without max
ing any announcement.

than to receive the highest honor that
the people could bestow upon him"
Before visiting the Armour school

quaintances. y luncheon was given to

killed yesterday by Paul Schmidt,

be prominently connected.
The tragedy took place at Miss
Meade's lodgings. On leaving the
house she was met by Schmidt. who
had been waiting in the neighborhood

nearby doorway. where they stood
for few minutes, Schmidt talking
earnestly and with many gestures.
Miss Meade suddenly stepped away
from him and approached a passerby,

Leaders Will Not Let
Congress Do Anything

of the administratio with respect to
the work of the coming congress is
to have as little legislation as posi-
BILE outside of supplying the necessar-
les of life to the government. In-oth-
eF words, please omit frills and flow
ers'' The record of the congress will
be taken for review before the court
of last resort-the vOteTs-a year
hence, and it is intended that the
electorate shall have little to criticise
in 1904.
Some objections are being made
against carrying out this policy, par
ticularly by new members of con
gress, who rely upon the pork" they
receive to strengthen their candidacy
for reelection next year. Mr.. Cannon
recognizes this situation and there
fore will be very careful in making
up the committees. Nobody but men
upon whom he can rely absolutely
viii be placed at the head of the inn
portant committees.
The election of a republican house
of representatives and the carrying
of the presidential election Will be the
aim of the republican leaders at the
coming session, and that object will
be kept in view all the time, it is said,
and be paramount to all other con-
siderations.
