MADE RICH BY LUCKY FIND.
One Of Many Remarkable Gold Dis

One OF Many Remarkable Gold Dis
coveries in New Zealand.
One of the most remarkable gold
discoveries of which there Is any REQ
ord In New Zealand has been made in
the Mokihinui district by Albert Win
ter, the son of a blllposter in North
Shields, England.
The discovery was made in a re-
markable way. Mr.. Winter stopped
at the edge of a creek to pick up a
piece of stone to throw at a woodhen
and in doing so he noticed that the
stone was collaborating quartz.
Promptly he returned to the town,
took out his miners rights and with
his mate pegged off claims on the
ground, and subsequently sold out his
interest for G75,000.
Albert Winter, who is thirty years
OF age, left South Shields nearly four
years ago as a stoker on the steamer
IlfoTd. Some months later the ship
arrived at Melbourne and Winter left
her there.
For some time afterward his family
knew nothing of his whereabouts, hut
a short time ago they received letter
from him. The letter was written
from Grannity Creek, near West Port.
New Zealand, and at that time APP
parcntly he was working at the mines.
That presumably was before he made
his rare stroke of luck.
This is one Of the biggest gold finds
ever made in New Zealand. Mr.. Win
ter is now on his way home.

DETAILS BEING FIXED.
North Sea Incident Now In the Hands
Of the Diplomats.

Of the Diplomats.
According to the latest information
received at the foreign office in st.
Petersburg the details OF tho interna-
tional commission which are being
worked out in London have not been
completed.
1t is regarded. however, as practi.
cally certain that the commission to
meet at The Hague will be composed
of British and Russian naval officers,
with probably a president from one
OF the continental countries, although
the latter point has not been decided.
Russia has declined to send q repre-
sentative to the English inquiry at
Hull and has also decided not to hold
Russian inquiry at Vigo.
Four officers, one from each of the
four battleshlps which opened fire on
the North sea during the night of
october 21-22, are on their way to St
Petersburg, where they will make a
formal report and subsequently pro.
coed to The Hague and give testi.
mCny.
The admiralty formally states that
only seven torpedo boats, not eight as
reported, were with the Russian
SQUADRON and adds that they have all
been accounted for. Nothing is
known here of the report that the
Russian warships fired on and hit
each other.

The feeling prevails at the state de-

WAR THE CHOICE
OF The TlBETANS
They Ignore Letter Of Colonel
Younghusband and Prepare
for a Struggle.

New York, June GA dispatch
from the correspondent Of the Lon
don Times at Gyang-tse, Tibet, says
a letter from Colonel Younghusband
Of the British mission to the Tibetans,
demanding that the Amban come to
Gyang-tse with qualified Tibetan rep
resentatives to settle the outstanding
differences before, June 25, has been
returned unopened and without COM
ment. The Tibetans have, therefore,
the correspondent says, deliberately
chosen war.
The Tibetans are now concentrat-
ing In the monastery and the town Of
Gyang-tse. Another concentration Is
reported between Ralung and Khang-
ma.
The present intention Of the Tibe-
tans is to prevent Brigadier General
Macdonald from arriving at Gyang-
tse, and it is possible that recent ex-
periences have taught the enemy how
to make his advance a matter Of
greater difficulty than IL was the first
time.

Des Moines, Iowa, June 6.-Angered
because his wife walked with his
mother-in-law instead Of riding with
him, Albert Nelson, South Side bust
ness man, this afternoon fired five
shots at the two women, whom he met
on Fifth street. The shots lodged in
the folds Of the women's clothing, but
inflicted none but flesh wounds. One
bullet struck corset stay which prob
ably saved the life of Mrs. Nelson.
Nelson took to the woods and was
chased by the police. Seventeen
shots were fired at him as he lodged
behind trees, fences and other OBJ
stacles, but none took effect. When
Nelson was finally captured it was be-
cause he fell exhausted in the road

New York Sun Special Service.
London, June 6.-The Daily Mail
this morning leads off with a commune:
ication from Russian correspondent
who says:
From conversations had with sew
eral officials Of high rank I gather
that Russia will stand or fall by Port
Arthur, that Is, SO far as the prestige
of the government with the lower
classes is concerned. In the event Of
the capture Of the fortress internal
troubles in Russia are possible and
local complications and disturbances
are inevitable.
Count Lamsdorff, the foreign min
lister, has hitherto been protected by
the car, who now is displaying in an
unwonted manner a strong personal
ity, but it is expected that the minister
will be sacrificed as a scapegoat to
popular indignation at the way in
which the war has been conducted.
His position is at least precarious.
1T is freely suggested that General
Kuropatkin has lost favor at court.
but it is certain that no change in the
command Of the Russian army in the
far east is contemplated.
can officer of the general staff
states that no assault on Port Arthur
is practicable without siege batteries
throwing the heaviest metal, and that
to make adequate preparations for
their employment will alone require a
long time.

WHY ROOSEVELT
WANTS CORIELYOU.
AS Committee Chairman He
Would Keep Campaign on
High Level.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, June cit is very
important to note that the talk one
hears Of opposition to the selection
Of Secretary Cortelyou as chairman
of the republican national committee
comes from the practical politicians
in the republican party. President
Roosevelt has his own ideas regarding
the conduct of a national campaign.
He wants Cortelyou's selection to be
notice to the country that the repub-
licans can make their fight on a, high
plane.
In all probability either Taggart or
German will be chairman of the dem
ocratic national committee. The presf-
dent regards Cortelyou as the an
tithesis Of those gentlemen, and be-
Heves the country will look upon him
in the same way.
Cortelyou's selection, therefore, is a
direct appeal by the president to the
highest and best that there is in the
republican organization, and he con-
hdent1y believes that it will be re-
sponded to enthusiastically. This
statement is made with ample au-
thority.

DUNN TO MAKE
HEATWOLE BOSS
Plans to Put Him at Head of
State Republican Com
mittee.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Build

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, June 6.-Word from
members Of the Minnesota colony in
Washington to the effect that If Dunn
Is nominated for governor it is his
intention to appoint Heatwole chair
man of the state republican commit
tee, thus giving Heatwole his long
sought opportunity to build up a re-
publican machine for the control OF
state politics.
This, If true, is Of more Importance
to the party as whole than the nom
ination of either Dunn or Collins for
governor or the senatorship. Such
q machine as Heatwole would build
up would rival that of the former
times Of machine rule and put the
party Of Minnesota in bondage for at
least ten years.
AS a result Of such an organization,
Heatwole would probably be able to
come to the senate either as the sue
cessor of Clapp or Nelson. At least
this is what he Is said to think.
The Minnesota colony in Washing
ton is taking lively interest In the
state campaign, chiefly because Of the
situation here. Men in Washington
say that they have information that
Dunn has definitely agreed to make
Heatwoie state chairman and that
this Is all that IIeatwole has asked
for up to this time. Dunn knows
however, that Heatwole would use a
state machine to displace Clapp OF
Nelson. This has caused him to re-
frain from indorsing Clapp for re-
election this year. He knows toe
| well that Heatwole plans to run coun.
| ter to them by declaring himself or
| the senatorship matter.
It Is said that Representative Taw'
ney's opposition to the Dunn-Heatwole
| scheme Is founded on the belief thai
| Dunn will make Heatwole chairman
! Of the state committee, thus inter
fering with the governorship and the
senatorial plans which Tawney him
self may develop at some future time
