MACCABEES IN SESSION.
Read justment Of Rates Important Bus
mess OF Convention.

Detroit, July 2O.-Wlth the readJuSt-
ment of rates as the most important
business for consideration the trien-
NAL review of the supreme tent,
Knights of the Maccabees Of the
World, opened here during the day.
The membership of nearly 100000 was
represented by about 100 delegates.
Supreme Commander D. P. Markey
of Port Huron in his annual report
stated that the membership of the or
der at the close of the three-year term
Dec. 81, 1903, was 362 1885, net gain
during the three years of 124,709, as
compared with 99,Ol3 during the pre-.
vious three years.
The report of D. D. Aitkin, as SUI
preme record keeper, showed that
1,549 tents were organized during the
term, 1856 of which either became de-
funct or were merged with larger
tents. There have been paid since the
organization of the order, Mr.. Aitkin
reported, 1882 death claims, amount
ing to $17,119. 100, of which 5,15S were
paid during the past term, amounting
| to $7,337,431. Mr.. Aitkin, who is also
supreme counselor of the order, re-
viewed the proposed change in the
rates at length, concluding as fol-
lows:
IF we wish to be true to ourselves
and to the membership we represent
and hope to see this fraternal order
the pride of its membership and the
protector of their homes, we must
provide for collections equal to the
amount demonstrated to be necessary
! by the mortality table based on our
own experience. If we have conf
dence in the report of the rate COM
mission and faith in it's conclusions
(and there is no reason why we should
not have) the question of what in
crease of rates is necessary has al
ready been determined and the only
problem now to be solved is how and
by what method or plan the increase
shall be made"

cessble.
Mukden, July 20.-A letter received
here from Port Arthur shows that the
besieged have implicit confidence in
the ability of Lieutenant General
Stoessel to keep out the Japanese. The
writer says:
Lieutenant General Stoessel's GER
tainty of victory has impaired equal
confidence to all the troops and inhab'
itants. Major General Fock is now en-
gagged in resisting the pressure of the
Japanese at our advance positions and
the siege will drag on for long time.
General Kondratieff is adding to the
Notifications of Port Arthur, making
them stronger daily. On hills previ.
ouslya considered impossible to fortify
batteries and entertainments have now
been constructed and guns OF both
large and small caliber have been
mounted. The cooperation of the gen
erals has made Port Arthur an mac.

ments will be Increased daily.
Bread and ice are to be distributed
by the packers to the needy families
in the stock yards district. In this
way the packers are to help wives
and children of the strikers. The plan
was announced by Arthur F. Evans,
attorney for Swift & Co., in the follow
ing statement:
"It having come to the notice of the
packers that the families of their for
mer employees now on strike were suf-
fering for bread and ice Superinten-
dent Crosby of the stock yards station
of the Chicago bureau of charities was
! Immediately notified that a carload of
ice and 1000 loaves of bread were at
his disposal for distribution daily
among those in need of help, with the
understanding that further assistance
of the same kind would be rendered if
necessarv.'

and Peterson left nothing for the
middle and slope counties but to fall
in line for the modified slate.
The convention today is but a ratifi-
f1cation of last nights work. All
counties signed up for the combine ex-
cept Cass, Barnes, Steele and Stark
and the latter would have gone in if
McGillivray had not been in the minor
ity. Mack says this is the first time
that Stark has been a ''Tail ender."
The presidential electors are Russell
Of Stutsman, Richardson of Ward,
Schneider of Mercer and probably
Roger Allin of Walsh, although Ferris
of Billings may be substituted for the
latter. The balance of the ticket is
as forecast.
Most of the appointive officers have
been fixed. Brightbill who was can
didate for treasurer is to be state ex-
, aminer and Tom Poole deputy Heg-
ge, also a candidate for treasurer, will
take Laxdals place. Folconer will
probably take place in the treasurer
office Patterson of Emmons gets
game warden and an Eddy county man
gets Roth's place as the Stark county
delegation would not stand for his
being charged to them. DR.. Flaten of
, Grafton will succeed Healy as secre.
tary of the board of health.
Spalding was absolutely powerless
and it is we'll understood was killed in
the house of his supposed friends at
home Cass retains the oil inspector
but he will be Haggart man. Hanna
will probably continue as chairman of
the state committee. .
Selby of Trail will be chairman of
: the committee on resolutions, which
will declare for irrigation and some
sort of primary election law, an i'm
provement over the present caucus
law, continued enforcement of the
prohibition law the same as other
laws and endorse the state admins
tration.
Most of the delegates leave tonight.

WOULD CAUSE COMPLETE TiEUP.
Kansas City Threatened With sympa'
thetic Strike,

Kansas City, July 20.-In the face
of probable sympathetic strike of
their engineers, electricians and other
skilled employees, members of the al
lied trades unions, the local packers
placed additional forces at work and
in each instance, they asserted, in
creased their output.
A general strike of all trades allied
with the butchers and killers is .ex.
pected in labor circles unless a peace
agreement is reached at Chicago. In
this event it is believed 800 men will
go out and the clearinghouse. industry
here will be tied up completely.
A committee from the local railway
switchmen visited the packing trades
headquarters and notified the striking
butchers that if necessary the switch
men would refuse to handle coal and
meat for Kansas City packers and
stood ready to lend financial aid to the
strike. They were told that at pres.
ent such step was not necessary.

Iowa City, Ia, July 20.-The Parker
men are in complete control of the
state Democratic convention which
convened here during the day. There
was a feeble effort on the part of the
old silver crowd to rally around some
of their leaders, but this was dispelled
early in the day and only Parker and
anti-Hearst men are left to carry out
the work of the convention. At the
Eighth district caucus considerable
interest was aroused when the resig-
nation of ex-Chairman Maxwell, one
of the strong supporters Of Hearst, as
district committeeman was presented.
1t also included his resignation as

and northwestern reputation. The
suddenness Of his death came as a
shock to all who heard it. For num-
Der of years Judge Cochrane has suf-
fered with severe indigestion and
sympathetic heart trouble and it is
presumed this was the cause of his
death. He has been resident of the
state for many years and was elected
to the supreme bench two years ago.
AS a lawyer, he was the equal Of any
man in the state, and he has been
concerned in some Of the most impor.
tant litigation that has been UP in the
courts. He was comparatively
young man, being about forty years OF
age, and leaves wife, who was always
his close companion, and to whom his
death will come as an especially severe
bereavement.
