Sails with Much treasure

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 3d.
The Pacific Mail Steamship company's
new steamer Manchuria sailed today
for the Orient via Honolulu. She car
ried over 200 cabin passengers, includ-
ing the members of the Philippine COM
mission, who are returning from their
visit to the st. Louis exposition. There
are 240 Asiatics in the steerage. The
Manchuria's cargo consists of nearly
10000 tons of general merchandise,
most of it being consigned to Japan.
1t includes flour, provisions and ma
chinery, but no fear of seizure by the
Russians is now entertained. The
Manchuria's treasure room contained
$45, 900, 900 for Shanghai, besides silver
bullion and large shipment of coin
to the Yokohama specie bank. The
vessel draws thirty-four feet and
three inches, and she will not be able
to enter the harbor of Honolulu. Pas
sengers and freight will have to be
transferred to lighters while the big
ship lies out in the port.

BISHOP GEAY, OF
FRANCE, GOES TO ROME
Presents Resignation and the Govern.
ment Viii Suspend His Pay

ROME, Aug. 30.-The pope today re-
ceived in private audience Mgr. Geay,
bishop of Laval, France. who explained
that now that France has severed her
diplomatic relations with the Vatican,
he had no more reason to abide by
Premier Combes Instructions not to
obey the pope's summons to Rome and
had hurried to the Vatican, wishing to
demonstrate that he is a victim of
calumnies and that he can prove his
innocence of the charges brought
against him. The bishop was deeply
moved, tears flowing from his eyes.
The pope kindly consoled and encour-
aged him, saying that If the charges
are false he will have all the assist
ance necessary to prove himself inno
cent.
Bishop Geay is one of the French
bishops who were summoned to Rome
by the Vatican for trial or punishment,
against which the French cabinet
strongly protested, claiming that the
disciplining of bishops without first
consulting the wishes of the govern
ment was against the terms Of the
concordat. The Vatican's perseverance
in the stand it had taken led to the
severance of diplomatic relations be-
tween France and the Vatican.
The Giornale d'Italia asserts that
Mgr. Geay presented to the pope his
resignation as bishop of Laval.
PARIS, Aug. 30.-The action of the
bishop of Laval in going to Rome in
spite Of the counter orders of Premier
Combes has resulted in the determina-
tion of the government to suspend the
pay of the bishop.

SHERIFF SEEKS TO
REGAIN HIS OFFICE
Aftermath of the TroubIous Times in
Colorado Two Months Ago

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, Aug. 30.-
The first of the promised actions by
officers of Teller county who were de-
priyed of their offices was filed in the
district court today. Henry M. Rob
ertson, former sheriff, petitions the
court to oust Edward Ball from the
office of sheriff and assess $1,000 dam
ages against him for usurping the
office. In the complaint Robertson re-
cites the events that occurred on June
6 last, when he was compelled to re-
sign.
Soon after the Independence explo-
sion. he declares, he was induced 10

Der of mine owners were congregated.
The doors were Immediately locked and
a guard placed at them. Then he was
informed that unless he resigned as
sheriff he would be killed He de-
INJURED and rope with a moose was
shown him and he was Informed that
unless he resigned quickly the doors
of the hall would be opened and the
mob permitted to enter and lynch him.
He resigned to save his life.
Informations were filed before Dis
trict Judge Lewis today charging Rev.
T. S. Leland, L. b. jerks and Arthur
Parker with a conspiracy to murder
Sheriff Bell and Deputy Sheriff Under

shooting from Mr. Leland's house on
Sunday night, when Sheriff Bell de-
manded admittance. Bail was fixed at
$2,50O, and the arrested men are still
in Jail.

Women of Cuba Declare They viii No

CUBA, Kan, Aug. 30-One of the
keepers of the four joints or illicit sa-
looms that were raided on Saturday
last by women has been run out of
town by the crusaders after he had at
tempted to reopen his place Several
kegs of beer found buried in the cellar
Of the place were destroyed by the
women and formal notice served upon
the proprietor to leave town within
three hours and never to return. He
departed by the first train.
A delegation of the women has call

and has warned them that the women

the policy of allowing joints to run
would not again be tolerated.
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-08-31

There is no day in the year when one
may not walk the business streets of
st. Paul and find at some hour Of the
twenty -four that private premises have
the street to litter and annoy the whole
neighborhood. This it is true, is for
hidden, but the prohibition does not
work. Perhaps the enforcement of the
law is too difficult, but it ought to be
easy enough with the tangible evidence
right there before our eyes to make
such persons pay the expense of work
that their own act entails upon the
city.
In the confusion and hurry incident
to cleaning UP after the big storm this
probably could not be done. Th e
Clio suggests, however, as a line of
future conduct that would do much
for st. Paul, much for its comfort and
beauty. much for the welfare of its
business interests, that, wherever any
litter in the streets is directly due to
the Indifference or willful act of the
owners of abutting property, the city
should be authorized to charge up
against them the cost of doing the.
necessary work. 1t would bring bene
fits largely in excess of and in addition
to the certain decrease that it would
work in our annual allowance for the
street cleaning fund.

Contemporary Comment
Too Quiet at Rosemount

1t is unnecessary to say that Judge
Parker has not the knack of men like
Mr.. Blaine or Mr.. Bryan Of entertain
ing crowd. He is not an orator and
he is not magnetic. But he is good
looking and dignified, and is said to
make an excellent impression on
strangers. And he makes a fair
speech. Billed as he would be, there Is
no doubt that great throngs would
greet him and that his remarks, of
whatever nature would receive close
attention. As already stated. things
look dead for the Democracy in that
quarter. If anybody can breathe the
breath of life into them it is Judge
Parker, and his friends are urging him
to do SO. Campaigning on the lawn at
Rosemount is pretty and pleasant, but
If it is really necessary Judge Parker
should, at some sacrifice of comfort and
dignity, get out and hustle. Let him
give ear to Mr.. Taggart, who knows
the Washington Star.

MAKE THEM PAY

The city engineer voices a legitimate
complaint when he says that the street
force has been greatly embarrassed in
its work, and the expense to the city
of cleaning UP has been greatly en-
larged by the carelessness of citizens
who, after the streets had been put in
order from the late storm, cleaned up
their private premises and threw the
debris into the public thoroughfare in
a second time, and, as the city engineer
says, at is very close to imposition
That which Is true in an emergency
is true in lesser degree of the city's
ordinary experience There ought to
be an ordinance or a law, if necessary,
which would make such people pay the
penalty of their Indifference to public
right. If it is in order for the city to
repair a broken sidewalk in front of a
mans property and charge the cost up
to him, if it can order the paving of a
street in front of his property and as
sess proper portion of the cost upon
him, it ought to be in order for the
city to clean the street that has been
made impossible OF unsightly or dam
gerous to health and comfort by his
act and charge him for the work. If
this rule were set up and enforced. it
is amazing how quickly ST. Paul would
become one of the cleanest cities in the
country, and f1o-y rapidly its bills for
street cleaning work would decrease.

United States army, Gen. Corbin in
command, and Gen. Bell commanding
the Seventh cavalry, participated in
lne dedication of monument to the
memory of the Confederate dead on
OF the first battle of Bull Run at Grove

troops adjourned to a nearby grove
where speechmaking took place. Gov.
Montague reviewed the splendid fight
ing qualities of the Confederate troops
as displayed in the battles This devo-
ton to duty and splendid courage, he
SAD, was the only redeeming feature
OF war and this was the lesson which
the cultivation of the memory of the
dead of that day should teach. Gen.
Corbin identified himself as a Vir-
ginian, congratulated the state on it's
dead heroes and the living men
and the United States army for the
privilege of learning lessons of war
fare on the historic ground to the end
that the injunction of George Wash

of peace prepare for war" After the
exercises luncheon was served under

The practice march of Gen. Bells
troops from Thoroughfare was declar-
ed to be satisfactory. Five divisions
were dispatched this morning over as
many roads, and all reached their des-
tination at the proposed time, at 1890

A Chicago Discovery

Like great many other cities, New
York is a victim to its own seif-com-
placency. Its merchants have settled
back in their chairs with the calm
conviction that trade would come to
them without an effort. They have
disdained rivalry and while they have
been idle other eities-for Chicago is
not the only bidder for the wholesale
trade-haye taken their customers
away from them.1 1t will not help the
situation SO far as New York is con-
cerned to manifest spite and resent
1nent against Chicago. 1t will be
good deal better If New York takes
some lessons from this city in the mat
ter of building up trade.@Chicago

ONLY PROPER RELIEF

The people of st. Paul will heartily
lief committee in pledging the credit Of
the city for $4,000 to be used in re-
lieving sufferers from the recent storm.
1t goes without saying that all such
funds must be distributed with the ex-
tremest care. It has been found every
where after such an experience that
there is a host of undeserying appli
cants for assistance, and that even
those who deserve help swell their
claims to an absurd limit. Everything
has to be inquired into, and every
thing cut down to modest basis. This
we feel assured that the committee
will do. Their work will be closely
scrutinized, and if any item of it should
appear to reflect personal or political
interest instead Of the claim of pure
humanity the rebuke will be swift and
severe
We are inclined to think that the
sum named is none too large, and that
it can all be disposed of among the en-
tirely worthy. We have in mind, for
instance, the case of a poor man who
had invested all the savings together
with the labor of many years in n
small business way. The storm de-
he ic1 1oft
out means even to employ his ready
industry. He has not and cannot raise
funds enough even to restore the glass
broken, and in attempting to describe
his plight to friend broke into tears
| like a child. Now this Is type of
many cases from which it would be
inhuman to withhold public support,
and which are thousand times more
deserving than most of the appeals
| that come before charitable authori-
ties.
The people as whole owe to suffer-
ers of this description such modest aid
as will put them again upon a footing
of independence. Their misfortune Is
in no way due to their own fault, or to
anything that they could have fore
seen or avoided. To accept aid is for
such people not to endure charity,
but simply to clasp the hand of a
friend stretched out when irremediable
disaster falls from a clear sky. ST.
Paul will do credit to itself by giving
such relief, and the city will be far
better for it than for more pretentious
material outlays. No money will be
more heartily contributed by the tax
payer than that which it may be neces-
sary to include in the levy for such
purposes as this. Let us lay aside for
the time all other expenditures that
we have been contemplating for ex-
traordinary purposes, and devote all
our surplus resources to restoring to
happy industry and the means of self
support the worthy persons of limited
means who have been made actually
| helpless by this great misfortune

Politics in Indiana

We do not, of course, profess to be as
wise as Mr.. Taggart or Mr.. Cortelyou
but there are some facts about Indiana
which they would both do well to
note. We hear much of the recent de-
votion Of the state to the Republican
party, and the assumption Is that the
drift is SO strongly in it's direction that
1t will be difficult if not impossible to
overcome it. There is q good deal in
the theory, and we have several times
expressed the opinion that Republic
ans have the better Of the situation
here. Yet, Mr.. w Fl. H. Miller is right
when he says that the Republican par
ty will have to fight hard to make sure
of Victory.-Indianap polls News.

staged than ever before. The company
includes all the old favorites.
There will be a matinee today at 2:3O
of the new Swedish comedy drama
"Tilly Olson" at the Grand. This play
has been pleasing large audiences
nightly with its vaudeville features
and comedy situations. There are also
some stray dramatic clinaxes. Miss
