HISTORIC RELIC At THE FAIR
Cut Glass Chandelier, Gift of Marie

st. Louis, July 30.-Among the
collection of beautiful and his
toric articles that adorn the Rhode

toric relics. and they we're consigned
to an old bushel basket and placed In
one of the store rooms of the armory.
Here they lay for years. their spangled
prisms detached, and the condition al
together dilapidated.
The Rhode Island commission. hear
ing of the neglect of these valuable
chandeliers, arranged for their recov-
cry, and men were set to work to rem.
ovate and restore them to their former
splendor. Although the ornaments
had been neglected, 1t was found that
but few of the many prisms of cut
glass were missing, and it was sim.
pie matter to restore them to their
places.
These chandeliers were first made
for candles, afterwards for gas, and
now they glow with electricity. They
originally hung in the little Tianon,
where Marie Antoinette, wearied by
the exactions of the court. fled for
recreation, and where in the dress OF
shepherdess she rolled hoop,
jumped rope, and otherwise deportd
herself as a child.
Lafayette, who withstood the troub-
ulous times of the French revolution,
retaining the favor of Napoleon, and
at the same time his democratic ideas,
was a favorite of Marie Antsinette,
and these chandeliers were presented
to him as mark of this favor

NAVIGATION BUREAU CHIEF
Secretary Morton Discusses with
the President the appointment Of
Admiral TayIor's Successor.

Washington, July 30.-Secretary
Morton took up briefly with the presi-
dent at the cabinet meeting Friday
the subject of the appointment of a
chief of the bureau of navigation OF
the navy department to succeed Rear
Admiral Taylor.
The appointment may go to either
Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans or
Capt Davis, although other officers
are mentioned faYorably.
Conditions of the treasury, as re-
CARDS the working balance in the de-
partment we're considered with the
president by Secretary Shaw. Thus
far, during July, the expenditures of
the government have exceeded the re-
ceipts by about 20,000 600. As a re-
suit, the working balance Of the treas
ury has fallen below s30,000,000. This
fact has suggested the possibility of
making call on national bank deposit
tories for a part of the deposits of the
government in their vaults. Secretary
Shaw is convinced, however that no
call will be necessary, perhaps for a
considerable time, and so informed
the president.

TERRIFIC FIGHTING.
IL Has Been Going On Both on Land
and Sen at Port Arthur.


Che Foo, July al p. ma junk
which left Port Arthur last Thursday
midnight reports terrific fighting on
land and sea, which had then been go
ing on for three days. The highest
Japanese authority here says that the
army and naval commanders of the be-
sieging forces had planned TO begin
their final assault on Tuesday last, and
expected 10 effect the capture by July
20, but that no official reports were ex-
pected from the army or from Admiral
Togo until the present attack results
in success OF a failure.
Japanese correspondents here are
row sending junks to the Mao Tao
islands, ready to enter the harbor at
Port Arthur Immediately upon the fall
of the fortress.
II is learned from reliable authority
that the movements of the Russian
Vladivostok squadron hastened the
present attack upon Port Arthur, the
japanese authorities realizing that ii
these vessels were allowed to proceed

MINERS RENOUNCE UNION
over -Four Thousand Have Now TAX
Out Cards In the Mine
Owners Association.


Cripple Creek, Col. July S0.-Four
thousand. three hundred and nineteen
cards have been issued to miners of
the Cripple Creek district by the Mine
Owners association, and 300 applica-
tions are still on file. OF the total
number issued to date, more than two
thousand one hundred have been in
exchange for cards surrendered by
former members of Western Fedora
tion of Miners, who have renounced
allegiance To the Organization. Never
have more than $500 miners been en-
ployed in the Cripple Creek mines at
one time, and then only when all the
larger mines were working a night
shift, and 81 no time has the fedora
tion membership been much in excess
of 5000.

st. Petersburg, Aug. Although
public attention has been distracted
from the events of the war during the
past week. first because of the fear of
international complications, and, sec
ond. because of the assassination of
Minister of the Interior Won Plehye,
the situation at the front Is regarded
as critical.
The enveloping movement of the
three Japanese armies of Generals ku-
roki, Nodzu and Oku around Gen. ku-
ropatkins position appears to be al
most complete, and the extended line
of the Japanese seems to be the only
drawback to concerted action. II Is
realized here that the Russian general
must now either fight or withdraw the
whole army northward. He is being
closely pressed at Haicheng. At that
place Gen. Kuroki's northern column
makes Il extremely dangerous to re
main there, because. while holding the
position to give battle against the Jap
anese, whose advance is notoriously
always slow and careful, Gen. Kuroki
might push through and cut his rail-
way communications to Lao Yang.
While nothing is definitely known,
there are some unofficial indications
that matters are rapidly maturing for
either battle or a retreat. For in
stance, the refusal to accept further
press kilograms at Haicheng Is shown
by the fact that one of the correspon-
dents had to ride through to Mukden
to file an account of the Ta-Tche-kiao
fight This might be construed either
that preparations are making for re.
tirement, or that the wirez are very
| crowded, incident to a concentration
at Kai Cheng or Liao Yang.
There is no inclination here to doubt
that there may have been pretty Sc
we're fighting at the outer position Of
Port Arthur, possibly accompanied by
ombardment from the sea, but 1t Is
not believed that the Japanese are yet
ready to storm the fortress. Rear-Ad-
mira without. in command of the ma
val forces at Port Arthur, is relied up
on to put to sea If the condition of the
fortress becomes desperate. While no
definite information is obtainable. the
report that the fortress is short of am
munition is considered by the public
as the most disquieting feature of the
situation
The indications are that the Baltic
squadron IL on the eve of an important
movement Nothing regarding this
can be ascertained officially. but many
of the officers already have said fare.
well to friends and families. and are
holding themselves ready for instant
service. The emperor had arranged
20 inspect the squadron. but his plan
was given up, owing to the assassina-
tion of Minister Won P1ehye.

Pike County Preachers Organize.

Mississippi is becoming a we'll
organized State; farmers are organ
izing, business men are organizing
for mutual help. Now comes a move
ment to organize the preachers for
the moral improvement of the peo-
pie under their charge. The minis
ters of the different denominations
living in Pike county have organized
themselves into a Ministers Union.
They propose to have at least four
meetings a year, the first one TO be
held at Magnolia on the 10Th of Sep
tember, and all are cordially invited
TO attend this mass meeting, which
will be addressed by two ministers,
two lawyers and two laymen, all dis
eussing the moral situation in the
county. The union urges each min
ister in the county on some suitable
occasion 10 preach to his, people a
sermon on true citizenship.

A Political Prophecy.

A political prophet down at Ray
mond, in Kinds county, has put
forth very weird prediction. In
one sense his view is rather hope
full, but he mixes up entirely too
much with death in the arrange
ment. The Raymond seer says that
the Parker and Davis ticket will be
elected, but Vice President Davis
will die of exhaustion during the in
augural ceremonies, and that on the
morning of June II, 1906, at 1882
o'clock, President Parker will be at
his home at Esopus and will dive
into the Hudson river and never
come up again. John Sharp Will
liams, who is slated for secretary OF
state, will then succeed to the presi-
dency. This arrangement is somc-
what like Sarah Bernhardt's COM
ment on the Chicago slaughter
house, bloody, but beautiful"

THE RUPTURE IS COMPLETE
The Differences Between France and
the Vatican Are Unreconcilable.
The French charge ~ the vatican
Ordered to Leave and the PnpaI
Nuncio In Paris VIII Follow.

Paris. July 31.-Although no official
announcement has yet been made, II
can be positively affirmed that the rup-
tnre between France and the vatican
is complete, The holy sees lengthy
reply to the French note. though most
eourteously worded, merely amounts TO
polite statement that the pope does
not intend 10 infringe the stipulations
of the eoncordat and will not with
draw the letters calling the bishops
of Dillon and Laval to Rome.
Diplomatic courtesy forbds the pub
llcation of the French answer until the
pope is notified, but French Minister
Deleasse has sent M. DeCourcel, the
French charge d'affaires at the vatican,
two notes. one for the papal secretary
of state announcing the rupture. and
the second a personal note instructing
the charge daffaires and the others
of the staff of the embassy to return
to Paris Immediately after his mission
is accomplished When NJ. DeCourcels
adyiees reach French Minister Delcasse
the latter will Immediately request the
papal nuncio here to leave France.
Ii is not expected that the rupture
will have any immediate consequences
beyond the mutual withdrawal of the
representatives of France and the vat
lean. and the suppression of the en-
bassy and nnnciature, as the denuncla-
ton of the coneordat requires parlia-
mentary sanction. Consequently, fresh
dnVplnnmnnts are imnrobable until the
up. Well-nformed persons do not be-
lieye that the vatican will retalate
