Joe Walter was up from Stafford
County Friday night. Speaking of A.
c. Jordan, the picture man who mys-
teriously disappeared near Hudson
last week, Mr.. Walter said that a
hundred men were securing the
county in search of the missing man.
Jordan's two brothers are there from
from Enid, Oklahoma, assisting in the
search. No clue has yet been found.
The creeks have been dragged with
no avail. Several Stafford county
citizens give little credence to the
idea of foul play, and doubt the blood
found on the buggy being human
blood. Some swho were acquainted
with Jordan say he was sportily in
cllned, and insinuate that he lost
heavily in card game. To escape
the consequences of exposure, they
suspect him of killing a rabbit and
spriukling its blood over the buggy
and then taking the train for parts
unknown.

HEARST RESUMES
TRUST FIGHT

New York, Oct. 25.-Congt essman
William Randolph Hearst has re-
sumed his suit against the alleged
Coal Trust again today. George
Merriweather, prominent Chicago
wholesale dealer, testified that the
prices on coal were fixed monthly by
himself and others. When any dealer
who sold below the price agreed upon
between themselves, the pressure was
bought to bear against him until the
dealer was compelled to raise to the
agreed upon the Schedule.

RUSSIA is
INUNDATED

London. Oct. 25.-The situation
growing out of the North Sea affair
is said to have been already adjusted
in principle, the government of Rus
STA having agreed to make every
possible amends, The official annouce-
ment of such reparation is delayed
presumably pending the full report
from Rear Admiral Rojestvensky.
The chief elementsof danger lies in the
possibility of the powers not realizing
the intensity of feeling among the
British press and people. The
officials have employed the customary
dilatory and evasive method in re-
gard to details. Premier Balfour held
a lengthy consultation with King
Edward today in regard to the
catastrophe, the issue of which is
said to have been eminently salts
factory. Balfour, Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne, and the Russian Ambas-
sador Count Beelaendorff will also
hold meeting today at Mr.. Lans-
downs home. The meeting will not
be held at the foreign Office in order
to avoid a hostile demonstration
against the Russians, whose embassy
is guarded by strong force of
mounted police. The queen today
sent five hundred dollars to the
widows of the unfortunate fishermen
who met death in the deplorable
blunder.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 25.-Guarded
accounts of the North Sea affair were
printed here today for the first time
and caused a general feeling of
humiliation among the citizens of this
city. The Novma Vreyma says in
an editorial that the occurrence was
entirely the fault of the Russians,
and that every means possible should
be taken at once to repair the injury.
The Russian officials are stung by
the adverse criticism of the entire
foreign press. It is understood that
the car has taken the adjustment of
the matter into his own hands and
has already decided on an indemnify
and humble and complete apology.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 25.-The
British ambassador here has present
ed instructions to foreign minister
Lamsdorf this afternoon. 1t is
understood that the British demand
an apology and compensation for
damages and an immediate inquiry
into the guilty officers and their pun
ishment. The report of Rear Admiral
Rojesvensky has not yet been received.
The British naval attache has warned
the admiralty today that British fish
ermen might be encountered off the
coast of Spain.

PANAMA TO HAVE
 CURRENCY SYSTEM
GOLD DOLLAR THE SAME VALUE AS THAT OF UNITED STATES WILL BE THE STANDARD OF VALUE.

Washington, June 20.-Secretary Taft and the commissioners for Panama to- day concluded arrangements for a cur rency system for Panama which is to be submitted to the Panama legislature for ratification.
 The following official statement was given out at the war department today:
 An agreement was reached today at the war department between Secretary Taft and the Panama commission, by which the gold currency of the United States shall be the legal tender in the Republic of Panama and the money of Panama shall be legal tender in the canal zone. This agreement will be transmit ted by the Panama commission to their government and If adopted by the con- stitution convention, will settle the ques- tion of the currency to be used in the construction of the canal.
 The substance of the agreement Is that gold dollar of the same value as that Of the United States shall be the stand ard of value in Panama and that the gold currency of the United States shall be legal tender there with provision for the issue of fractional silver currency of the Republic of Panama.
 It is provided that such silver cur rency shall be coined to amount in nom inal value of $l. 10000 In gold; the silver to be obtained by the recoinage of Co., lombian coins now in circulation on the isthmus, and that at the option of the canal commission of the construction of the canal. shall show such coinage to be necessary there shall be an additional coinage of fractional silver to the amount of $1,5O0,000. The parity of all the silver coined shall be maintained by the de- posit In some bank in the United States of 15 per cent of the nominal value of such fractional currency of the net seignorage on the amount coined at the request of the canal commission. In order to prevent the manipulation of ex- change at the expense of the public and canal works tine republic and the com mission agree to cooperate by the sale of drafts at reasonable rates to keep down the exchange on New York, and thus prevent a disturbance of the parity"

 Will Suit.

New Haven, Conn.,, June 2o.-William J Bryan came here today to attend a hearing in the probate court in connec- ton with his potitlon as executor of the estate of the late P. S. Bennett.

It was set forth in the application that the money ] was in the hands of MT. Sloat, MT Ben nett's former partner, and that he was ready to pay 1t under proper authority.
 The S75,Q00 bequest is not involved in the legal f.ght between MT. Bryan and Mrs. Bennett and when the proceedings opened Mir. Bryan said he was ready and willing to ray the money to the widow but that nc could not see the necessity for a court order, since he had given a bond in this state.

TEXAS IS FOR PARKER.
Democrats Will Probably Instruct for
 the New York Man.

San Antonio, Tex, June 2O.-Delegates to the state democratic convention, which meets here tomorrow to name delegates to the democratic national convention are thriving. National Committeeman R. M. Johnston is already here, and Senators Bailey and Culberson, former Governor Hogg and other prominent politicians are to arrive tonight.
 It is likely the convention will instruct for Judge Parkers nomination for the presidency as the county conventions named a large majority of the delegates for him.
 Clarence Owsley, of the Fort Worth Record, will probably be the temporary chairman of the convention Among those slated to be delegates-at-lar at St. Louis are United States Senators Joseph X. Bailey and Charles A. Culberson, Judge J. II. Reagan, the only surviving member of the Confederate cabinet: F. A. Bushick, editor of the San Antonio Ex- press, and Judge Clarence Martini of Blanco.
 The convention will probably adopt a platform dealing with state issues only.
