WELCOME IS GIHEN
BY JUNIOR SENATOR

Senator Albert ]. Beverage delivered the
banqueters' formal welcome to the royal
guest, in whose honor they had gathered.
In part he said:
1t affords us great pleasure TO greet All
peoples who are DESTROYS of being with us
Tor pleasure or for intellectual profit and
advancement. and we are especially anxious
10 greet our neighbOrs from beyond the
great Pacific which in the future is to be
the great historic sea, the symbol of peace
ana prosperity, as its name implies
We arc peaceful, commercial people.
seeking happiness through channels of lib
erty and prosperity. The great Pacific has
MADE emma our natural customer, and
america China'S natural customer And for
the good OF both these mighty common
WSaIths IL is meet that-only the most ami
caple relations exist between us
This great ocean should and must be
uhVeXed by war. This is both our interest
ana our mood, n nation of workmen.
not OF warriors. The greatest merchant
men OF the seas are those bearing proudly
from their loftiest spars the American
nag, and though the body of Robert Full
ton the inventor of the steamboat. has
moldered in its grave for many years,
his spirit still sweeps the mighty deep
II may seem strange that the people
OF indiana ponder upon the relation the
great ocean has to the United States for
are they not inhabitants of an inland city
1t matters not, however. Our people are as
deeply interested in the welfare and con-
duct OF affairs on this great body of water
as are the inhabitants Of the coast of Cali
fornia, because we are a united people
and what is good for California is equally
good for us. So, it is my earnest hope that
the great Pacific shall be the ocean of the
future and the ocean of peace"

Six Gypsies Under Arrest On Sus-
pioion at Fhoenixvills, Fa
Thousands Of Ironworlers, threatening
Vengeance, Securing the Woods
Forthe Wanderers.

PhoenixvilIe, Ia. The niutilated
body Of four-year-old Michael Morski,
who was kidnapped from the sidewalk
near his home the other evening, was
found by party Of rabbit hunters,
hidden in the fireplace Of deserted
stone house, on the Christmas farm,
half mile from tie village Of Will
Jams Corner and three miles from the
murdered ehild's home.
There was a deep stab wound in the
throat, and the head had been
crushed by a blow from big thorn
club, which lay a short distance away.
Tightly clenched. in the boys left hand
was stone.
Six men belonging to two bands Of
gypsies encamped short distance
from the scene OF the tragedy were
placed under arrest as suspects. The
prisoners are Mike and Barney Dough-
erty, Samuel Rigler, George Wolver3
ton, Robert Wells, and his father
Henry, known ais the King Of the no.
MAIDS in this State.
Eighteen armed deputies guard the
little lookup in which the suspects are

men and women, and the greatest ex-
element prevailed. Thousands Of
stalwart iron workers began securing
the forest covered waste about Valley
Forge, near the home of Philander G.
Knox, while many began searching the
country surrounding the scene of the
murder, which is but mile from the
old home Of Governor Pennypacker-
Moore Manor.
Coroner Charles Howell, who is also
the Magistrate at this place. said that
so far no evidence Of tangible char
acter had been found by the officials,
nor could they establish a motive.
why the boy was murdered we can
not possibly guess" he said. There
was no motive unless the kidnapers,
fearing detection, decided to put the
boy to death to seal his lips
The child was picked up by party
of men who were driving through the
town in two covered wagons boy
saw them take the child, but before
he could attract any ones attention
the kidnapers had disappeared. All
day and the following night searching
parties were out trying to trace the
wagons, but without success.
The news of the arrest of the six
gypsies soon spread through Phoenix
vile and hundreds Of men and women
gathered along the streets. AS the
prisoners were brought in there were
cries Of Lynch themw Burn themw
The officers drew their revolvers and
kept the angry crowd back. AT the
lookup they had difficulty in getting
their prisoners through the threatening
mob into the jail
Deputies have been sworn in to keep
back the crowds during the hearing in
court. Although the county officials
openly scout the idea Of violence, they
nevertheless proceeded to take every
precaution to safeguard the prisoners.
1t is said that members of Company
X, Third Pennsylvania National
Guard, stationed here, together with
a light battery of militia, have been in
structed to hold themselves in readi-
ness for an emergency call.

'RUSSIA'S NEW REFORMS !
Prince Svlatopolk- MirskH New Min
lister Of Interior, Grants Privileges,
OBSOLETE LAWS NOW TOBE USED


Students OF Dorpat University to Resume
wearing Caps and Gowns-Deiegates
Of zemstvos Peasants to Meet to Dis
cuss New Laws and Regulations For
Their own Government.
St Petersburg, Russia. Prince Syia-
topolls AIirsky, following ont the prom.
Uses he made upon assuming the Min
istry Of the Interior regarding the i'm
periaI manifesto Of 1908, has invited
all classes, and especially the zemstvos
and peasants, to choose representatives
to sit with the committee which Is CON
sidering revision Of the peasant laws.
The manifesto contemplated the co.
operation Of all classes. including the
zemstyOs, in this important work, one
of the purposes Of which is TO secure
additional privileges for the peasants.
especially with the view to giving
them an opportunity of divorcing them
selves from the village communes.
NJ Plehye treated this portion of the
manifesto as a dead letter, imposing
the duty Of choosing representatives
upon the provincial governors, who
were practically his own appointees or
at least always under his immediate
control. Over eighty volumes repre-
sent the material recommendations OF
the local governments on this subject.
Permission has been accorded to the
students at Dorpat (Livonia) Univer-
sity to resume wearing caps OF the coll
ors which were forbidden to such corr
porations under Alexander III, in pur-
suance Of the policy Of the Russifaca-
ton Of the Baltic provinces This step
is considered to constitute another evil
dence Of the conciliatory policy Of the
whole Government which has marked
the Inauguration of the regime of
Prince Sviatpolk Mirsky, Minister Of
the Interior Dispatches from Dorpat
say the announcement was greeted
with the greatest rejoicing among the
students. They petitioned the univar-
sity to be allowed to organize torch
light procession in honor Of M. Glazoff,
the Minister of Education, but on ac-
count Of the war the regents overruled
them.
