WILL BRING TREATY CLOSE.
Russia VIII Bring Commercial Treaty
 With Germany to Close.

St. Petersburg, August 30-An imperial rescript dated August 9, Is published. ap- pointing Minister of Finance Witte pres- ident of the committee of ministers. The rescript at he same time entrusts him with the work of bringing to a speedy and successful conclusion the negotiations for the Russo-German commercial treaty, and with the continued supreme direction of minister of finance in order that his clos acquaintance with the requirements of Russian commerce and industry may be fully utilized.
 The Official Messenger announces the appointment of M. Pleske, director of the Imperial State bank, as minister of finance.
 Although the resignation of M. Witte from the post of minister of finance was expected ever since his last budget state ment, which had a valedictory tone. the secret was we'll kept M Witte went to Peterhof after midnight and presented to the Czar his resignation and his recom- mendation of M. Pleslxe as his successor. simultaneously in order to forestall any intrigues in the interest of some follower of M. Plehve minister of the interior.
 M. Pleske has made a good reputation as director of the Imperial bank, but he never has exhibited any initiative, remain ing a loyal subordinate of M. Witte. and doubtless he will try to carry out his policy.
 The position of president of the com mittees of ministers Is one of great honor, but M. Wittes future influence is regard ed as problematical, and his promotion is considered a triumph for the Plehve interest. A special commission has been formed at the prefecture, composed of the factory inspectors and various function aries of the secret police, with orders from Minister Pleske to prevent strikes at all hazards.
 The commission is arresting and ban ishing workmen by hundreds, and has been authorized to employ both preven- tive and repressve measure.

THE GREAT PAGEANT IN ROME.
Seldom Does the World See Such a Spectacle as is Now in Progress.

From the New York World.
 The ceremonies in Rome attending the obsequies of the pope and the election of his successor from a series of the most splendid pageants the modern world may witness.
 The setting is worthy of the scene, which shifts between the greatest of pal aces and the vastest church. through halls glowing with masterpieces of art that are the despair of rivalry. From the throne-room of the vatican-this place of a thousand rooms. whose very cloist- CTS are frescoed by Raphael-tne body Of the dead pope is borne through the Sis tine, chapel, dignified by Michael Angelo with the greatest paintings of all time, to the dome of St. Peters. The cardinals and princes and prelates following, whose robes to the least detail are regulated by the accretion of generations of precedent the cavaliers, the knights and the Noble Guards, are like figures from the can vases of mediaeval artists.
 And St. Peter's-what scope for spec taclei Simpler in plan that many smaller churches, it's 600 feet or lofty length is all before one as he enters-a long block" as New Workers reckon, of walls and floors inlaid with colored marbles, of gigantic statues great pictures huge columns. FQur piers carry the huge dome, and each of these pillars alone is larger than not few whole churches in New York The "baldacchino" marking the tombof St. Peter and the high altar where only popes say mass, seems a light grace ful canopy, yet 1t towers hundred feet and its columns are like the trunks of great trees. The nave is twenty feet high

PHILIPPINE VETS
 HOLDING REUNION Large Delegations from South
 and West Arriving. GOVERNORS TO PARTICIPATE
Many Questions of Importance Will be scussed-Eligibiity of Contract Surgeons to Membership and
 the Ladies' Auxiliary.

St Paul, August 30.-Delegates are be- ginning to arrive for the annual reunion of the National Society of the Army of the Philippines which will begin its ses- sion tomorrow afternoon in the state capi- tol The east is sending a large delega- ton and the western and southern states will be we'll represented The reception committee expect that fully 2000 will at tend
 The St Louis delegation has already established itself and is making a vigor- ous campaign for the next reunion. The city that desires the next reunion will have to make a strenuous canvass to land 1t for Chicago. which has the second largest camp in the United States, is out to capture it. The following places also have made attractive offers for 1t: Chat tanooga. Put-In-Bay Island, O.; Buffalo and Cleveland.
 The encampment proper will open at o'clock with a business session In the senate chamber of the state capitol. Two questions of vital importance to the so- ciety will be discussed at it's business session. At present contract surgeons who served in the army of the Philippines are not eligible to the society. Many that have served in that capacity desire to become enrolled. It Is thought at this reunion that the bylaws will be so amended that the contract surgeons may become members. In addition to this question the society will consider the ad- visibility of forming a ladies' auxiliary, similar to the one in connection with the c. A. R.
 Wednesday wll be the greatest day of the encampment. At 10:3O in the morning the military parade will be held. Nearly 5000 will be in line.
 The governors of Minnesota, North Da- kota and Iowa will participate.
 General Kobbe and staff, Generals Wheaton ,Sommers, Merritt, Macarthur, Funston and Metcalf and Brig. Gen. Charles King are expected to be in line.

ANOTHER AUTO SEA RACE.
Great Pubic Interest in Contest from
 Paris to Sea.

Paris, August 3O.-Great public inter- est has been aroused in an automobile boat race, which started today from Paris to the sea. distance of 22O1s miles. Fifty-seven boats started representing the principal makers of automobiles. There will be six stages: Paris to Nantes, Elbeuf. Rouen.. Caudehec, Bavre and Deuville.
 The journey will take six days owing to the numerous locks on the Seine, the finish taking place next Friday.

 The boats carry motors of from 30 to 60 horse power and are capable of mak- ing 22 knots an hour. The Merceres ar rived first at Nantes at a 6.45 o'clock this evening and the Flora arrived sec. ond All the towns along the Seine are making preparations to enthusiastically greet the competing motor boats.

cHINAMAN LEAVES POETRY.
Famous Reformer Writes Farewell
 Verses on Eve of Execution.

Pekin, August 3O.-The Chinese Reform er Shen shien. like the Filipino patriot Rizal sent his farewell message to the world in the form of verses written in prison on the eve of his execution. The spirit of the two valedictories is much the same. Chinese poetry is difficult to translate accurately, but the following is a literal rendition: Loaded with clankling chain, am taken from prison.
 By the Chen Chi gate I shall lay down my life.
 On the execution ground there my old friends have shed their blood, Five loyal and six learned. all Hu Kwang men of fame.
 Japan and Russia are struggling for pos- session of Manchuria, Henceforth the cradle of the race Is lost to China. Partition comes apace; cannot bear to think of 1t.
 You rulers of the country, have you ever seen the plans of division? Let all the public papers over the wide world because of my buried wrongs pub fish the story of my death. For making public two harmless clauses of a secret treaty, Ching Chuan and Chung Lang have work ed me this woe
 The thirty-one years of my life now past, though I have,
 Conquered some name. are now all of no avail.
 Henceforth come prosperity or disaster, I shall heed it not; My spirit will find happiness chanting in heaven.
 Chien Shen had been particularly bold in denouncing the apathy of the govern ment toward Russian absorption of Man churia. A short time before his arrest he published two clauses of what pur- ported to be a secret treaty by which China conceded New Chwang to the con trol of Russia.
 The Chen Chi gate is the gate through which criminals are led from the board of punishments to the execution groind
 Five loyal and six learned, all Ku Wang were the reformers who were be- headed in 1898 by order of the Dowager Empress after the coup d'Etat depriving the emperor of power.

4 NEGRO PRISONER
 MAKES HIS ESCAPE
WILL JONES, WHO HAD BEEN AR RESTED FOR MURDERoUS AS sAULT ON WIFE GETS AWAY FROM WARDEN.

Will Jones, a negro, who had been ar- rested by Policeman Nix for assault with intent 10 murder on his wife with large knife, escaped from the office of the war den of the jail yesterday afternoon about dark. The negro had cut his wife badly at their residence in Fifth alley between Twenty third and Twenty-fourth streets.
 When Policeman Nix turned the negro over to the warden the latter told thel prisoner to walk over to the inner door, which leads to the cells. It was rather dark in the office and the negro instead of going to the cell slipped out. It was probably a minute before he was missed and he had plenty of time to get away.
 Warden Rittenberry states that in the long time he has dealt with prisoners this is the first one to escape from him. The negro will be recaptured within the next few days, as his haunts are we'll known by the police

Laughter as a Moral Power.

From the International Quarterly.
 Is laughter immoral? That is a very important objection urged against comedy from generation to generation. Il is not only not immoral, but it is the preserva- ton of morals to cultivate by use a facul- ty for all sorts of laughter. It is the hallueination of prevalent evil which drives men to despair. Now, evil always seems to be prevalent when you scrutinize it, for scrutiny involves confined attention to what lies immediately under the lens in the focused light Being wherever we see, we surmise. nay, affirm it, to be everywhere. But were it really every where you and I could not be, here to ex- press such an opinion. Clearly the thing to do, then. is to belittle the evd by fair means and foul, to undignify it and to rob it of its horrors that we shall not lose wits or heart. By laughing at evil we get rid of the false impression of its omnipo- tence; we get little courage. and our despair turns a somersault up into glory from the swinging trapeze of faith.

CHICAGO ROBBERS
 COMMIT MURDER
Hold Up Street Car EmpIoyeS
 and Kill Two
LARGE AMOUNT SECURED
Robbers Shoot Without Warning Three Men Working in Cashiers Office and Sleeping Motorman
 Were the Victims.

Chicago, August 30.-Two men were kill ed and two were wounded by hold-up men at the barns of the Chicago City Railway an early hour today.
 The shooting was done by three men who escaped after securing 5000. Three of the men who were shot were working in the cashiers office and the other was motorman asleep in the outer office. The men In the office were shot before they were aware of the presence of the robbers and the motorman was killed as he was rising from a bench where he had been asleep. The dead:
 Frank Stewart, assistant clerk in cash ier's office
 John B. Johnson, motorman.
 Injured:
 William B. Edmond. receiving clerk will recover.
 Henry Biehl, will recover
 The robbers took no chances but dis posed of all the opposition of the employ CTS before they entered the office. Choosing the time when the employers were busily engaged In balancing up the receipts of the night, just after the last conductor had turned in his moneys and left the barns, the robbers suddenly ap- peared at the receiving window and be- gan shooting. The first bullet fired struck Stewart and he fell to the floor without word. Biehl and Edmond who were sit- ting near Stewart turned to see what was the matter, but before they could leave their chairs they were rendered helpless by the well directed bullets of the robbers. Johnson, the motorman, who was asleep on bench in the outer office, hearing the noise started up to go to the assistance of his companions, but was shot and killed before he could get on his feet. Making sure that all opposition had been removed the robbers then broke open the door of the cashiers office with sledge hammer and secured S3OOO in bills, which was lying on the desk They then made their escape. Four men were arrested few hours after the robbery. but they have not as yet been identified.

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.
Appearance of General Inquiry Was
 Rather Encouraging.

Manchester, August 30.-The tone of the cloth market last week was steady and hardening. The appearance of a general inquiry was rather encouraging, though there was considerable difference of opin- ion regarding the progress of business. Some sellers reported more business, while others complained of continued slackness. There were fair sales in the lower grades of India shrtings, prices being often low CT. Some business was done in sheetings for China. Heavy goods found few buy CTS Trading on South American account was slightly more active.
 Yarns were stronger. Users of twist and weft cops from American cotton pur- chased more freely and the manufactur- CTS cleared up many stocks
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-08-31

CT than the span of Brooklyn bridge; the dome, low and massive as it looks from distance, rises far taller than any sky scraper." But all this great framework is forgotten in the pageant of robed chor- isters, in the procession of dignitaries of the church. and in the awed earnest ness of the thousands of ill-clad and slightly nourished Romans who wait and gaze so patiently.
 The election of the new pope is a matter for secret conclave. Of it the people see nothing and discuss with much gusto the curious details--the careful guarding of the doors the ceremonies of election. all prescribed by rigid cus- tom. But again the installation of the new pope and his first public appearances bring to the cathedral the pomp of great ocasion..
 The rarity of this pageant enhances its interest. Only once within the past fifty-seven years has 1t occurred And should the choice of the conclave fail upon a prelate as gentle and as wise as the dead Leo humanity will hope that it may not be soon repeated.

Letter Carriers Meet Today.

Syracuse N. Y, August 3o.-The four teenth annual convention of the national association of letter carriers will open in this city tomorrow and from present indi- cations 1t promises to be one of the largest in the history of the organization. At the last meeting of the association held at Denver 1t was voted to hold biennial sessions after the convention of 1903. and for this reason the strife for offices is keener than usual.
