Edward Everett Hale wrote, in the
Christian Register:
"The performance of miracle play
by an English company in our different
cities suggests a great deal to those
interested in religious education. The
performance is dignifed, serious and
fits the real purpose of those leaders
of the people who contrived such per-
formances in the "dark ages. Like
the recent revivals of Ben Johnson, for
instance, the miracle play of "Every-
man" might now be studied to adj
vantage by one who was only a virtu'
oso or dilettante, to learn how they
did things FIVE centuries ago. But l
doubt if any person who attends with
that poor virtuoso notion does not
come away with the serious question
whether the play can not teach us all
what is good for us, and whether it
can not show us how we can teach
those who are in our charge. The at
tendants at these performances are bet

T IKE A DEMON grip has crossed our
- country. leaving behind scores OF
physical wrecks.
Victims of catarrh of the head, catarrh
Of the throat, catarrh of the lungs,
catalrh of the stomach, catarrh of the
kidneys, catarrh of the pelvic organs,
are to be counted by hundreds Of thou
sands. Grip is epidemic catarrh, and
sows the seed of chronic catarrh within
the system.
This is SO true that few grip sufferers
are able to make a complete recovery
until they have used Peruna.
Never in the history of medicine has
n remedy received such unqualified and
universal eulogies as Peruna.

St. Petersburg Reports.

st. Petersburg. April 24.-Some-
thing of sensation was caused here
this afternoon by report spread far
and wide that the Chinese minister,
Hoo Wei Teh, was packing up prepar-
atory to departing from st. Petersburg
and visions OF immediate war were
conjured up.
The Associated Press Investigated
the rumor and ascertained that the
only foundation for it was the fact
that the minister has taken a sum-
mer cottage at Gatschina, thirty miles
from st. Petersburg, for which place
ne will shortly leave the capital.
The Russians have placed guns in
positions covering the crossings Of the
Yalu river. While General Kuropatkin
desires that the Japanese shall enter
Manchuria he purposes that they shall
pay as dearly as possible for the priv
ilege, but without precipitating q gen.
eral engagement.
Major General Kashtalinsky is anx-
ious to engage the enemy and begged
General Kuropatkin for permission to
do so, but the commander in chief
strictly forbade even small skirmishes
where it was possible to avoid them.
1t is understood that General Kuro-
patkin intends to deliver the decisive
battle himself. Meantime the cavalry
and artillery at the front are engaged
in constant drill and "Reminiscences
In spite Of the reports from Seoul
and Toxic that the Russians are mass
ing $4,000 men to resist the Japanese
crossing of the Yalu river. it can be
asserted with great positiveness that
an obstinate obstruction of the en-
emy's crossing is no part Of General
Kuropatkin's tactics. The Russians
intend that the Japanese shall have
the river behind them before giving
battle in force.

President Meyer himself expressed
regret over the occurrence of yester-
day, but did not care to express an
opinion as to whom the blame should
attach.

CANAL IS BOUGHT
BILL OF SALE TO UNCLE SAM.
Title to Panama Canal Now Vested in
the United States.-company
Will Ratify Contract

Paris. April 23.-The contract by
which the ownership of the Panama
canal passes to the United States is
signed, sealed. delivered and complet-
ed. The title to the canal route is now
vested in the government of the Unit
ed States.
The document by which this trans
action is consummated bears the sigma
lures of President Bo and Director
Richman of the Panama Canal Com
pany. who signed for the company as
its responsible officers.
The transfer is complete and with
out reservation and the United States
secures perfect title.
The result has been quietly accom-
plished and unexpectedly, as the public
had been given to understand that the
contract would not be executed until
after the meeting of the stockholders of
the Panama Canal Company to-day, at
which the question of ratification
would be presented.
When w. A. Day and Charles w.
Russell United States assistant attor-
ney general, who are in Paris to assist
in the transfer CT the property, were
seen last night they reluctantly admit
ted that the transfer had been consum-
mated and furnished the following Of
fetal statement in writing:
THE papers transferring the rights
and property of the New Panama Ca
nal Company to the United States have
already been executed and delieverd.
They will be ratified tomorrow after
noon by the stockholders meeting.
THE arrangement includes general
conveyance and provisions for deeds
and resignation of control in the Re-
public of Panama and in the canal zone
now under the jurisdiction of the Unit
ed States, in which zone the civil law
continues in force by reason of the
cession of the zone from a civil law
sovereignty. All formalities of the 10
cal law on the isthmus have been ar
ranged for and secured in the United
States.
THE property will shortly be deliv-
cred on the isthmus, and upon that be-
ing done, the purchase price will be i'm
mediately paid.
THE full extent of the principal
documents will be made public to-mor-
row night.

bered title"

PoPEJoY AGAIN
SUES THE sTRATToN ESTATE
Man Who Claims That He Grubstaked
w. S. Stratton Asks for Eight Mil
lion Dollars.-Suit Was Once Set
tied for Fifty Thousand Dollars
Another Man Wants Half a Million.

Colorado Springs. Colo, April "a
Two claims against the Stratton es-
tate, aggregating $s.500000. were filed
with the clerk of the County Court yes
terday. Leslie w. Popejoy, contract
or of this city, instituted suit for S.
100000. and Wesley Gourley. presum-
ably of Denver, filed suit for $780,
600.
Yesterday was the last day upon
which claims against the estate could
be filed. Gourleys papers were filed
about noon. Popejoy's demand for S.
00000 was taken into court only
few minutes before the closing hour
The latter demand is based on the
assertion that the claimant grub
staked" Stratton during the early days
of Cripple Creek and brings to mind
the suit brought by Popejoy against
Stratton on May 16, 1896. for onehalf
the value of the defendants possess
sions. This suit was compromised a
year later, Stratton, it is said. having
given Popejoy $4,000. The latter now
claims to have recently discovered
that Stratton had bribed certain wit
nesses and otherwise fraudulently
gained the compromise.
In conclusion is a statement by
Popejoy, claiming that to his best
knowledge one-half the value of the
estate was $S,000,000. 1t was sworn
to before Daniel w. Thompson, notary
public.
Wesley Gourley's claim was made
out in similar form and is for "one-
equal one-half of the proceeds of the
sale OF the Independence and Wash
ington lodes, according to- the terms
of ,ttpp ut Iat1 n1tr
100000"
The executors Of the estate deny all
knowledge Of both Gourley and his al
legged claim. 1t has always been pre-
sumed that the Independence alone
sold for $10,000.000, in which case
Gourley's one-half share would amount
to $5,O00.00O.
DR.. Rice said: II have never heard
of the contract which Wesley Gourley
claims to hold, and do not know who
he is"

Strong Case Against Brennan.

Cheyenne, Wyo.. April 23.-The gov
eminent authorities say they have a
strong case against Harry Brennan,
tie range rough rider who is under ar
rest here charged with attempting to
rob the postmaster at Clearmont. Post
master Laing has already identified
Brennan and says there is not the pos
sibility of a chance that he is mistak-
en-. When the three men held him up
he recognized Brennan OF once, and
last week when Brennan was taken
before the postmaster he at once said
he was the right man.
1t was thought that Brennan would
be bailed out by his friends but none
have appeared to ask for his liberty.
His case will come up for trial at the

London, April 24.-The foreign Of
fee has now come to definite agree
ment with the Zionists as to the situa-
ton and extent of the colony 1t Is
ready to give them in East Africa.
This is to consist of 5000 square miles
of land northeast of Victoria, Nyanza.
1t includes the Nandi plateau and is
very fertile, well watered and well for
ested, while as the native population
in this part of the country is not large,
a positive source of trouble will be
avoided. An important point in the
concession is that the land is only Ave
miles distant from the Uganda rail-
road, and thirty hours railway journey
from the coast.
A committee will start In June to
examine the site and decide as to Its
suitability.

presented resolution ratifying their

Russian View Of the War.

st. Petersburg. April 24.-Apparent-
:ly reliable information in the posses
sion OF the general staff leads to the
belief that the objective of the Japa-
.nese campaign does not involve the am
bilious invasion of the interior of Man
churia with the purpose Of reaching and
overwhelming the main Russian army.
II the Japanese ever entertained the
{ hope OF accomplishing task similar
that which Napoleon set himself,
present advices indicate that they have
abandoned it, and have adopted a much
more cautious and less hazardous pro-
gram.
If this Information is correct there
will be no advance upon the army con-
centrated at Lao Yank and Mukden,
with its attendant constant frightening
and weakening of the Japanese line OF
communications. Instead, there seems
to be a determination to stick as close
as Ia possible to the sea, where lies ia
pans natural base of communication,
she having established herself in
Korea.
The general staff reports say that
the Japanese will have three other OBJ
jectives-the occupation of line across
the Lao Tung peninsula for the pur-
pose of cutting of Port Arthur, the
isolation of Vladivostok, and the estab-
]ishment of a junction between the
army of Korea and the force at the
head of the Lao Tung peninsula.
The last mentioned movement might
be accomplished by landing near the
mouth of Ia Yang river. which. by
threatening the flank of the Russian
position at Feng Huan Cheng, might
render it untenable and make the ad-
vance of column from Korea compar-
atively easy.
Y these plans should succeed the life
both Russian squadrons in the Pa
cific would be menaced. and with the
sea and fleet back of her at every
point Japan could fortify the positions
thus gained and with the tables turned,
compel General Kuropatkin to come
forward and attack.
General Kuropatkin. however. is in
possession of the latest advices received
by the general staff and it is safe to as
ame that If the Japanese campaign
de>alops along the lines indicated he
will be ready to make such disposition
of his forces as will meet and check

CALLS CAPTAIN A COWARD.
Letter of Pueblo Man Incenses
Adiutant General Bell.

Pueblo, April 23.-Adjutant General
Bell and a squad of soldiers, while
stopping for half an hour in the city
to-day en- route for Telluride, searched
eagerly for Henry o. Morris. local in
surance man, but failed to find him be-
fore the train left. The cause of the
search was telegram sent by Morris
to Captain Wells this morning. The
telegram was as follows:
ALLOW me to name you as the great
est coward in Colorado, save Sherman
Bell, the tinhorn."
AS soon as the train reached the
city a detail of twenty-four men under
Captain Wells got off at the platform
and began inquiring the whereabouts
of Mr. Morris. Inquiries about the
depot failed to reveal his presence
in the vicinity. General Bell was high
ly indignant. and stated in substance
that he considered Mr. Morris the
greatest coward in the world. He said:
81 have exercised every endeavor
to interview him on this telegram.
l have offered reward for informa-
ton leading to his presence before me
and am not through with him yet"
Mr.. Morris was seen this afternoon
relative to the search instituted for
him. He stated that he had sent the
telegram in question and was prepared
to stand by every word of it. Mr.. Nor
ris has been in the limelight prevf
ously under quite similar circum-
stances. He is a Socialist and has

Rumor of Japanese Defeat.

New York, April 24.-St. Petersburg
heard an unconfirmed report yesterday
which emanated in Port Arthur, that
1000 Japanese has been slain in bat
tie along the Yalu. Paris, too, received
hint that there had been a great
Russian victory, but in neither city
was there any information to add to
the report.
The st. Petersburg dispatch said:
A rumor is current in this city that
the Japanese sustained heavy loss
while attempting landing near the
mouth of the Yalu river.
According to the report, which is
said to be based upon private tele-
gram from Port Arthur, the Japanese
lost 1000 men.
The story is not conflrmahle and is
discredited in official quarters, the As
ISOLATED Press being authoritatively
informed that the government has no
advices supporting the rumor.
