NEWS OF THE CITY
STEALS PALS PANTS
CoopeT's Friend Resents and
Swears Out Warrant


Because. being as old as Romeo,
Harry Cooper loved a maiden older
and more beauteous, as he dreamed,
than Juliet-for this reason Harry
Cooper pleaded guilty yesterday morn
ing in the police court to stealing i
pair of pants.
That is, to-wit and more precisely,
as barristers declare before Judge CAL
lick. Harry loved and still loves the
cashier of his rooming house.. j. Dan
ehy loved and still loves the same
cashier. Cooper and ]. Danehy have
dwelt together upon equal terms in the
lodging house, if not in the young
maiden's heart. But Danehy owned the
better trousers. They were an extra
pair and they fitted Cooper.
They also became Cooper, doubtless.
For when, wearing them. he stood talk
ing to the cashier the other afternoon,
she scarcely looked at Danehy as he
entered r.
They're minei" exclaimed Danehy
when he found speech. He pointed to-
wards the pants and the cashiers desk.
well, 1 should say noti" answered
Harry Cooper, misunderstanding the
brutal allusion. She's no more yours
than mine. Fade away!"
"Tll see if they amt" retorted Dam
ehy, continuing the confusion after
the best dramatic method. Then he
faded away.
Yesterday, therefore, young Cooper
told frankly that he had fjust taken"
the trousers. But he wasn't going to
keep them. Danehy had often worn
his things" his ties, etc. The two
men We're roommates. But I guess
he got something green in his eye"
added the budding poet. IF borrowin'
pants is petit larceny, / s'pose I'm
guilty.
A friend of the young man suggest
ed that the plea would probably be
withdrawn if time could be granted
for securing witnesses. The case was
continued until Oct. 25.

BURKE SENT UP FOR
STEALING CLOTHES
Drunk Escapes Charge of Highway Rob-
berry, but Goes to the Workhouse

John Burke into the municipal court yes
terday and charge of assault and bat
terry took him out of the court as far as
Lake Como. He will find no further mo-
tives for travel during the next three
months.
Burke was accused of attacking Ed
McGue on Rondo street Friday night Nc
Cue thought at the time that he was go
ing to be robbed But he wasn't robbed,
and yesterday he felt less sure of the as
sailant's intention, although Burke ran
away with most of McGue's clothing. Nc
Cue had no doubts, however, that he had
been beaten. His fact supported his tes-
timony.
AS Burke had been drinking when he
offended, and his motives not clear, he
was permitted to plead guilty to assault
and battery.

ASKS CHANGE OF VENUE
FOR ECONOMY'S SAKE
East Grand Forks Wants Paving Case
Tried at Home

Arguments in support of an application
for change of venue were heard yes
terday by Judge Orr, of the district court.
in the suit of w. F. Peet against The
City of East Grand Forks Mr.. Peet is
the assignee of Patrick Thornton, a con-
tractor who secured judgment of S16,-
600 against the city of East Grand Forks
for paving its streets. But the judgment,
obtained by default. was reopened, and
new trial was ordered. preparatory to
which the application was made yester-
day.
The defense explained that it would de-
sire to introduce many witnesses at the
trial. If they had to come down from
Grand Forks the expenses of each wit
ness would not be less than $40 But
like expense would not be incurred by
Mr.. Peet If the trial took place in East
Grand Forks.
The application was taken under ad-
yisement.

WON'T BE FOR HEARST.
Delegates Opposed TO Him VIII Rule
in Ohio.

Columbus, O., May 22.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention will be held
here next Tuesday and Wednesday.
There have been contests in most of
the eighty-eight counties for Hearst
delegates. All who are opposed to
Hearst are classed as Conservatives,
and as they have majority of the
uncontested delegates they no doubt
will decide the contests against the
Hearst contestants and control the
convention.
The Conservatives, however, are di-
vided in their presidential preferences
among Col. James Kilbourne of Co
lumbus, who was the Democratic cam
didate for Governor three years ago;
Judge Judson Harmon of Cincinnati,
who was Attorney General under
President Cleveland, and Joseph w.
Folk of Missouri Mayor Tom L.
Johnson of Cleveland is heading the
boom in Ohio for Folk.
There is now no doubt that the Con-
servatives will name the delegates and
the state ticket, as well as dictate the
resolutions. No instructions for any
candidate are expected, but either Kill
bourne or Harmon will be indorsed as
"the Ohio favorite," and the delegates
will be instructed "to vote as a unit
whenever a majority of the delegation
so elects" .te-.

WHY JOHNSON THINKS
1T SHOULD BE FOLK.
Says the Missouri Man Would Har-
mOnize Factions.

Cleveland, o., May 22.-Mayor Tom
l.. Johnson OF this city in an inter-
view tonight told why Re would like
to see Joseph w. Folk of Missouri the
Democratic nominee for the presi-
dency Mr.. Johnson said that accord
ing to his view of the present situation
Mr.. Folk would be a harmony candi-
date; that is. he would unite the fac
tions that now adhere to either the
Parker or Hearst interests or the prin-
ciples represented by these men.
Folk was said to be a free man as
regarded any entangling alliances in
factionallsm. He would be agreeable
to Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Cleveland. ami
would be Endorsed by Mr.. Bryan.
Mayor johnson believes. The Mayor
said that his good opinion of Mr.. Folk
did not necessarily mean that he faV-
ored his nomination. there are other
men, he said. who more nearly repre-
sent his ideas. and stand for what he
does, but these men would be sure
to meet with opposition from factionTl
interests in the party and would be
weak as candidates.
Mayor Johnson said he did not be-
lieve Mr. Folk was seeking the presi-
Dental nomination: that he was as
| good as elected governor of Missouri,
| but no man has ever turned aside the
! nomination to the presidency and de-
/ c,ined to be the leader of a great party

RUSSIAN MINES DRIFT
OUT UPON HIGH SEAS

London, May 23.-The correspondent
of the Times, on board that papers
steamer Haimun, which is still exclud-
ed from the real theater of war, gives
a review of the present position of af-
fairs and says:
Reserves from Japan are being
brought to reinforce Gen. Kuroki's
lines of communication. which are be-
ing harrassed by Cossacks. Gen. Kuro-
XII appears to be waiting for the land
ing and cooperation of a third army.
1t was while holding the Miao-Tao
straits against torpedo attacks from
Port Arthur for the passage of trans
ports with the third army that the
Hatsuse met with disaster. Realizing
that they were effectively isolated, the
Fort Arthur Russians made their des-
peration an excuse for sowing the
Whole Gulg of Pe-Chi-Li with floating
blockade mines. It is reported that
they sent launches and junks to drop
mines in the paths of the Japanese
Warships and transports. The mines
orlfted to the high seas and to Chi
nese waters, constituting the gravest
oanger to neutral shipping.
Yesterday the Haimun passed two
noating mines within six miles of Wei
Hal Wei.
Even as the act of a desperate gar
rlson this must be in violation OF the
law Of nations"

Plant Destroyed.
Findlay. O., May PAS a result of
an explosion in the two drying rooms
of the Lake Shore Novelty Company's
plant here to-day, seven persons are
known to be dead; five are so seri-
ously hurt that recovery is believed to
be impossible and twelve or fifteen
are injured badly.
From reports of the physicians ten
of the less seriously injured may die
as a result of blood poisoning from
the potash that was driven into their
bodies. Two employees are missing
ana are supposed to have been blown
4 to atoms.
The Lake Shore Novelty Works
plant covered nearly ten acres of
ground in the southwest part of the
city and employed nearly 200 men,
women and children. Railroad torpe-
! does and Fourth of July explosives
were manufactured.
Owing to the large rush of orders
the officials of the plant requested
the employees to report for duty to-
day. About thirty complied with the
request.
This morning the residents of Find
lay were startled by two explosions
that shattered windows throughout the
city. The concussion was felt for
miles around. Two magazines. in sep
arate rooms at the novelty works.

reports.
The exact cause of the explosion
is not definitely known. 1t is SUR
missed that one Of the Sherwood broth
ers, who were the only persons in
the drying rooms, dropped large box
of torpedoes, but this theory cannot
be confirmed.
The explosion occurred shortly be-
fore the employees assembled for duty
At least twenty persons were on their
way to the factory when the explo-
sion occurred.
Human forms were strewn consid-
erable distances apart on the factory
site. The body of one woman in the
factory was picked up 200 yards from
where the explosion occurred. The
large plant is shattered into frag-
ments, not one single wall remaining.
Bricks and timber can be found for a
half mile around.
The property loss is 100000. The
plant, it is said, will not be rebuilt.
Most of the funerals will occur to-
morrow, and business generally will be
suspended.
Three bodies were found at a dis
tance of 300 feet from the scene of the
explosion.

BATTLESHIP 0REL WAS
PUMPED OUT AND RAISED.

Cronstadt. May 22.-The battleship
Orel, which was brought here some
days ago to receive her main battery
and to be given the finishing touches
before going into commission, sudden
ly sank at her anchorage on the night
of May 20. Vice Admiral Rojestvensl<y,
corlmander-in-ch of the Baltic
squadron, was instantly called from
st. Petersburg and under his superW-
Son the work of pumping out and
raising the Orel was begun.
The ship was raised this morning and
found to be undamaged. An examina-
ton showed that her Kingston valves
had been opened, permitting the water
to rush in II is suggested that the
carelessness of workman might have
been responsible for the opening Of
the valves, but an investigation into
the affair is progressing.

WAR IN THE EAST.

Admiral Skrydloff, who left st.
pe+ersburg with Port Arthur as his
destination, has reached Vladivos-
tok the other port being now be-
sieged by the Japanese. He Is to
have command of the Russian ma
val forces that yet remain in the
Far East, and his flag flies upon the
cruiser Rossia.
II is said that Viceroy Alexieff
rendered his resignation to the
Car, but that Nicholas prevailed
upon him to retain his position.
Correspondent reports that, while
at sea, he saw many Japanese
transports, none of them under con-
voy. They travel the seas seeming
ly without fear of any Russian
ships of war.
The battleship Orel which sank
at Cronstadt. has been pumped out,
raised and found unchanged. Her
sinking is ascribed to the careless
ness of some workman, who left
valves open.
Toxic reports that during the re-
connaissance off Port Arthur by
Admiral Togo a Russian shell
struck the torpedo boat destroyer
Akatsuki, killing one officer and
twenty-four men.

PAPAL NUNCl0 WILL
REMAIN IN PARIS,

Paris, May 22-The recall of M Mis-
ard, the French ambassador to the
Vatican, continues to be the absorbing
topic. The ambassador is expected to
arrive here tomorrow morning, when
he will confer with Foreign Minister
Delcasse and go over the details of
the rupture between France and the
Vatican preliminary to the meeting of
the council of ministers on Tuesday,
when a further line of action will be
determined upon.
Contrary to general expectation Mgr.
Larenzelli, the Papal Nuncio at Paris,
will not leave his post. The nunciature
has given out the following state
ment:
up to the present the nuncio has
received no orders to take his leave,
although the state of his health might
make it desirable. AS Rome has no
taste for replying to proyocations, but
is sorely conscious of her rights and
duties, Monsgnor Larenzelli does not
regard the eventuality of his leave
approximate"
The tone of the Socialist papers in
dicates that that powerful element has
urged the government to take more ex-
treme measures.
The more moderate elements appear
to be satisfied with the course of the
government, while the reactionary cler-
ical papers, express regret with the ex-
ception of LAutorite, in which the
Bonapartist, Paul DeCassagnac, ex-
presses satisfaction that the church
declares open war against the republic.
Little is heard directly of the SEN
timents of the clergy. who are practi-
cally muzzled by their official positions
under the concordat.
The Rome correspondent of the
lamps says that Vatican Official cir
cles lay great stress on The fact that
the Pope alone directs tile policy OF
the Holy See. When Cardinals Van
nutelli. Gotti, Agliardi, and Vivesy
Tuto saw the Pope on Thursday and
Friday, according to the correspondent
his holiness foreshadowed the first
stage of the conflict, namely. the re-
call of Ambassador Nisard. but he de-
clared so energetically that he was re-
sponsible to God alone for his actions
and was acting thus for the greatest
good of the church that the cardinals
did not dare to remonstrate.
