ALL QUIET AT CORONA
FUNERALS or MARSHAL NELSON
 AND HIS SLAYER.
Coroner's Jury Fails to Obtain Evil dence as to Membership of Mob Which Lynched Ed
 Avery.

Jasper, August 21.-The little town of Cordova was crowded today with persons from all parts of the county viewing the scene of the murder and lynching which occurred there last night. City Marshal Nelson was bur jed this afternoon as was the negro murderer who was lynched. While the coffin containing the remains of of the dead officer was being lowered the grave. the procession following the remains of his slayer passed and as. sembled around grave in the colored portion of the cemetery. about two hundred feet from that of MT. Nelson and before the crowd left the cemetery the body of the negro was being depos- tied in its last resting place.
 The negroes seemed to look upon tho lynching of the murderer as the natu- ral outcome of such offenses. From the best information obtainable as to the causes leading up to the murder and lynching 1t was brought about through a difficulty between the negro Ed Avery and a man named Bush over a trivial matter. the negro becoming boisterous. Bush went to Nelson and preferred charge against the negro. Nelson went to the house of the negro to arrest him. When he knocked on tho door. the negro opened 1t and thrust a pistol in his face. firing, the ball striking Nelson just over the left eye.
 The negro then ran into the dwell ing house of Mir. Konkle. merchant. where his wife was employed as a SOP want. Mrs. Konkle hearing the shot and knowing that the negro had com mitted some offense, secured the ne- gro's pistol and with it held him at bay until the arrival of officers.
 The negro was taken by Deputy Sheriffs Walker and Nations and lock- ed up in the town calaboose, the ofi- cers returning to look after Marshal Nelson. The murder SO enraged tho people that within a very few minutes mob of two hundred men assembled and battered down the door of the calaboose with bricks. clubs. stones and pieces of iron. the negro was beat en to death.
 The mob immediately dispersed and no further demonstration took place. coroners jury was empanelled by Justice of the Peace Roberts to inquire into the death of the negro and after searching investigation which con- sumed the greater part of last night and today. no evidence could be obtain ed as to the names of anyone in the mob and the jury accordingly redered verdi't to the effect that he came to his death at the hands of persons to the jury unknown.
 J. M. Nelson Is the second city mar shal of Cordova to be murdered with in the past two years. Marshal Ben Camak being killed by a drunken man two years ago. His slayer Is now in the penitenuary under life sentence.

STRIKERS NEED AID WILL MAKE AN APPEAL TO THE
 PUBLIC. President GOmpers of the Federation of Labor Also is Asked to Assist
 In Devislng Plans for
 SuccOr.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-At a regular meet ing of the Chicago Federation of Labor. which was held this afternoon. 1t was decided to ask the general public for aid for the men now out on strike in the stock yards.
 The Secretary of the Federal .on was also instructed to request President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor to call special meeting of the Executive Council of that body for the purpose of devising ways and means of sustaining the strikers
 The resolution passed today commences by a narration of the conditions at the stock yards viewed from the standpoint of the strikers. It asserts that the wages of the laborers in the packing houses were IS cents an hour. but the employment was so irregular that their total weekly earn ings did not amount to more than $7.
 It Is then declared that the packers at tempted to lower the wages of the labor- CTS and the skilled workmen, believing that this would be followed by a reduction in their rate of pay, decided to go out on strike in support of the unskilled men.
 The attitude of the packers in refusing to confer with the men Is criticised. and the resolution closes with the statement that

MORE RIGHTS FOR JEWS.
Russia seems netter Disposed Thsn
 Ever Before.

hussla seems Hetter Disposed Thsn |, Ever Before.
 St. Petersburg. August zL-Ine United States Government has aeain formally proposed to Russia the open Ing of negotiations for the unrestrict- ed recognition of the of American pass ports
 In accordance. with the law of the Empire, only foreign Jews of specin- ed ciasses--merchants having business connection in the country. etc,-are allowed to enter Russia, but quite liberal policy has been pursued In making exceptions to this rule where legitimate reasons ttCrefor are given.
 The exceptions. however. are seldom made in the cases of Russian Jews. who have been naturaliZed abroad. The inhibition Is not against the Unit Cd States alone, but extends to tho Jews of every country.
 The United States government on several occasions. especially while James c. Blaine was Secretary of State sought to open negotiations re- garding tins question. but the Russian government always declined to begin such negotiations on the ground that the question involved the entire read 5ustmeut of the international policy of the empire toward the Jews.
 The basis of the proposition in the joint resolution of the United States Congress passed April 23 last, which lends 1t additional weight as being the expression of the united wishes of the representatives of the American peo- pie. both verbally and by note. the sub 5ect has beeu presented to Foreign Minister Lamsdorff by Ambassador Mo. Cormick.
 While under ordinary circumstances 1t Is not probab ble that Russia wouli even yield to the extent of discussing an affair of the international policy of the Empire. and while a compliance with the American wish would possi- ply entail a change in Russian laws, the more liberal policy recently mani fested toward the Jews of Russia seems to create at least the room for hope that Ambassador Mccormick may now succeed where his predecessors failed. It Is understood that while the earnest wish of the United States Government in this matter has been made quite plain to Russia. the American note is couched in such terms as not to render refusal on the part of Russia in any sense rebun.

DEPORTED
MINE OWNERS AND CITIZENS ALLI- LANCE ACT.
Store of the IntermOuntain Mercan- tile Company Is LoOted and Goods Worth Thousands of Dollars
 Are Destroyed.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Aug. 21.-No se- cret is made here of the fact that the deportation of Attorneys Eugene Eng ley. Frank J. Hangs and J. c. Cole, and twelve other men from Broadstreet last night was planned by members of the Mine Owners Association and the Citi- xens' Alliance, and was carried out un- der their direction.
 The Fl Paso. Vindicator. Findley and other large mines were closed down when the day shifts stopped work and the miners of both day and night shifts were requested to assemble in Cripple Creek. as trouble was brewing. A report had been circulated that several hundred deported union men were re turning to the camp in body. and it had been determined to drive them away again should they come.
 This report proved to be groundless, but other work had been laid out for the the 1000 or more miners who swarmed into town. and, acting under orders given by leading citizens, they proceeded to round up the federation attorneys. employees of the 1ntermoun- tain Mercantile Company's store. and others who have openly expressed sym pathy with the Western Federation of Miners and escorted them beyond the city limits.
 During the entire proceedings the gheriff of Teller County and the May or and City Marshal of Cripple Creep we're out of town. Under Sheriff Par son and Deputy Thomas Underwood, attempts were made to control the mob, but they were easily overpowered. Many of the deputies who have been employed in the districts since the riots early in June, 1t is alleged, were active leaders of the mob.
 City Marshal Crowder arrived from Victor while the footing or the Inter- mountain Mercantile Company's store was progressing and essayed in vain to stop the destruction of property The store is completely wrecked and the en- tire stock. valued at several thousand dollars was destroyed or stolen.
 Sheriff Bell arrived from Denver af- ter the mob had finished its work and took measure for the protection of the prisoners in jail. He said today that he had no intention of asking the Gov ernor to send troops to the district. He had advised President Mover and Sec retary Haywood of the Western Feder- ation of Miners. he said. not to carry out their announced purpose of send ing the deported miners back to this camp, as he would be powerless to pro- tect them.

martial law and also to annul consular
Jurisdiction. and that the same already
was annulled.
The British consul interpreted the
order as not declaring martial law. The
other consuls were unable yesterday TO
comprehend Russia's intention.
The administrator agrees with the
consuls to suspend rigid enforcement
of the order until the foreign govern
ments act, in order to lessen the COM
plications.
The Americans here call attention to
the apparent defeat of American aims
regarding placing consuls in Manchuria
by the execution of Russia's order.
American and British flags were to-
day removed by the Russian military
from the property of citizens of Amer

THE RELIGIOUS ORDERS
CANNOT TEACH IN FRANCE.
So Declared Bill the Chamber or
Deputies Passed.

So Declared Bill the Chamber OF
Deputies Passed.
Paris, March 2S.-By the decisive ma
jority of 316 to 269 the Chamber of
Deputies tonight passed the govern
mCpt bill for the suppression of all
forms of teaching by the religious or
ders. This supplements and completes
the work begun by the former premier,
NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau, in 1901,
The first law suppressed the unau-
thorized teaching orders which had for
a long time carried on their vocation
despite the lack of legal sanction. The
new law does not make any distinction
between authorized and unauthorized
congregations. but sweeps away the
whole fabric of teaching by religious
orders. thus in effect substituting the
system of state schools for those here
tofore conducted by the orders.
Besides affecting the educational sys-
tenn, the passage of the bill is the
achievement of the principal work UNI
dertaken by Premier Combes, and 1t is
believed that the premier will now vol
unfairly retire.
The bill. which still has to pass the
Senate, though no very serious opposi-
ton to it is anticipated there, forbids
all teaching by the religious orders in
the territory of France proper, and pro-
vides for the suppression within ten
years Of all orders actually holding an
authorization to teach.

AS THEY READ REPORTS.

crowds gathered before the bulletin
boards to-day to read the official ac-
counts of the second unsuccessful at
tempt of the Japanese to bottle up the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur.

enemy's fire ships. and torpedo boats

ficers in boarding the burning steam
ers, extinguishing the flames and cut
ting the wires connecting with the in

while the almost universal exclamation
applied to Vice Admiral Makaroff, as
the people turned away, was "Molo-

lated: Hes a dandy"
The action of the Japanese in max
ing use of Internal machines has
aroused indignation. No further de-
tails have been received except that
the injury to the torpedo boat destroy

that it can easily be repaired.
