 President Lake
FURTHER DETAILS OF THE INDIo- NATION MEETING HELD IN THE OFFICE OF THOMAS GILLERAN. NONE OF THE FORMER OPEL GERS WERE PRESENT.

Superintendent Louis Ezekials, wh
 came in Monday from the Cupritt camp, accompanied by his wife, found awaiting him a bunch of New Yorl papers which contained further detail; of the indignation meeting of the
 stockholders held in the offices O Thomas Gilleran. These stockholders were citizens of Yonkers and towns
 apiacent None of the former officers of the Golden Rule Copper company of Yonkers-Tucson were present al this meeting. Of these William H Lake was the president and he made his headquarters in Tucson during f901-2. Thereafter he vanished, but strange to say, left very few bills un- paid.
 Lake was a prominent church mem. Der of Yonkers- He did not exhibit a tendency to attend church here and few persons would have dream ed of his being a devout member of any church. He was inclined to show his importance. At Vails he usually took the train for Tucson after leav- the Cuprite camp in the Santa Rtas. One day he had a lot of letters 10 open and read and while he was thus engaged he told the conductor to hold the train until he could finish reading the letters. The conductor was mad and said, If you want to go to Tucson you will have to run for the train" and the engineer opened her up wide.
 Lake managed to raise S15U,0O0 on misrepresentation made to his people h New York regarding mining prop critics in the Catalinas and what he was doing and intended to do at the Cuprite Lake failed to make the last payment and the Cuprite reverted to E. N. Fisk, Ezekials and Walsh. MT Ezekials said that a new deal was pending and that the prospect of a sale was good. Lake dropped two payments on the fixed price of s40.U00 for the Cuprite group Altogether, between the mines in the Catalinas and in the Santa Ritas, Lake did not drop half the $150. 900 claimed to have been paid to him for stock. He in- terested several persons in Tucson in his Cuprite mine scheme. Lake did not get any money from them, but he aimed to secure good standing for himself. It did not stand him long. He made it a point to maintain a good reputation in Tucson. There was method in this. He did not want bad reports to go to Yonkers.

 BOSS.

Pittsburg, Thursday.-The appoint ment of Attorney General Knox as a Senator has raised storm in Western Pennsylvania. The charge is made that the Standard Oil Company, the United States Steel Corporation and the Pennsylvania Railroad dictated the appointment. Bank officials declare the appointment was dictated by Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 The Republican leaders in Western Pennsylvania are angry over the ap' pointment Ex-Senator Flynn was ironclad, and said, with a grim smile:
 This is a great and growing com munity, and I doubt if any other com munity in the country will be so a5's represented in Congress. with P. C Krox in the sente and John Dalzell in the House. People anxious for the permanenc of Republican policies anL the welfare of the nation ought to fee >~atified and proud that the county will have two such admirable repre- sentatives."
 Tommy Bigelow. the boss of Allie gheny county, said: T am satisfied It is a closed incident A good sol dier always goes along with the pro cession."
 Do you believe. as you have beer quoted as saying. that the United States Steel and othet corporation! procured the selection of Mir. Knox?'
 T can not discusss that. You ough to be able to form judgment of youl own. when you know that MT. Prick ob tained the selection of Mir. Knox"
 Murray A. Werner. county chairman of the Bigelow ring organization, said Our man did not get it, but I am a. well satisfied as anybody else"
 The opinion prevails among politi clans that Knox is to be simply re cess incumbent, or until the party fences are repaired. It is stated that Elkins has been promised the Senator ship at the end of the present term

FASCINATING WIDOW SAID TO BE CAUSE OF DEATH OF CAP TAIN WILD - HAD cRAv-
 ING FOR MONEY.

San Francisco, Thursday.-The sui. c.de of Capt. Frederick $. Wild. com missary office of the Thirteenth Unit ed States Infantry. at Angel Island, has caused a sensation in army circles. A woman was the cause of his death. When Capt. Wild came home from the Philippines two years ago he brought with him s4,00Q. Shortly af- ter his arrival here he became ac- quainted with Mrs. Evelyn Pittman. from that time until now she nas re- sided in luxurious flat at No 100i McAlister street. Every accessory that elegance and refinement could suggest was there.
 Several months ago the Captain commenced to feel that he could not keep up the strain, and often in the presence of his friends in the Do- hemian Club he was wont to assert that without money man should not live. While he assumed a joyial air at the club. it was apparent to all his friends that he was laboring under a mental strain.
 Capt. WilG was a native of New York State, forty-one years of age, and unmarried. He entered the army as private soldier in 1887 and ten years later he was appointed to the position of first lieutenant. In 1889 he was made a Captain and was sent to the Philippines with the Thirteenth h. fantry. He returned here about two years ago. and later was assigned to duty as regimental commissary at An gel Island. Among the army folk he was a popular officer.

New York. Thursday.-General business throughout the country good, but not booming; the railroads doing well. though not quite as well as last year; no disturbance of business by the presidential election; easy money and fe wfailures, but with Wall street dull almost to flatness, and with no probability of any marked increase of activity or advance in prices for many months to come. is the outlook for the remainder of the year 1904, as gather it from financiers and business men with whom I have talked during the past few days
 These men admit that there has been something of slump in business during the last six months. They say the depression has not been great, though noticeable, It has shown it. self in the decreased earnings of the railways and in diminished bank clear ings. But they agree that it was. on the whole, a wholesome reaction from the extraordinary boom of the preced- ing two or three years, and they con gratulate themselves and the country that the inevitable reaction was ex- perienced with so little trouble and such a small number of embarrass- ments or failures.
 They believe, moreover, that from now on the trend will be an ascending one, and that the bottom of the down grade has been reached. They do not look for another boom. and do not want one. But they are of one mind in predicting a good year. They say it can not be otherwise with the crop outlook that is now before us. The wheat crop promises to be of at least an average size. The corn crop prom ises to go much above the average. The cotton yield probably will equal the highest record in the history of the country There are no financial trou- bles. except the trouble the banks and trust companies are experiencing in keeping their money in profitable use. With plenty of idle money and big crops to be disposed of at fair prices, the pessimist and disaster predicter may as well go off into the woods and bury himself.

Russ;o,a Enormous ARMY.

Though it is not possible to suppose
that the Russians will put half or even
third OF their effective war strength
into the field and though it has been an
nounced that no troops will be with
drawn from the Austrian or Bessarabian
frontiers, it may be interesting to state
what the actual war strength Of the Rus
sian army is. 1t should be remembered
that every year 100000 young men are
liable to CONSUMPTION, of whom 220,OOO
are employed, the remainder passing into
the reserve. The total war strength or
the active army is twenty four army
corps, with ffty-one infantry and TWEEN
tv-three cavalry divisions, one rifle divis-
ion, two rifle brigades. The reserve con-
ssts of twenty divisions of the first and
fifteen divisions of the second class, 400
Cossack squadrons and seventeen horse
artillery batteries of six ffteen-pounders
each. The active army consists of 9S9
battaions of infantry, 730 squadrons of
cavalry, 3,7S2 guns, 161 engineer com
panics, 10000 officers and LOG, 700 men.
The reserves, including local and fortress
troops, bring the strength to 2,S1G bat
talions, 1,G00 squadrons, 6,500 guas, TO-
600 officers and 100000 men. These
figures are in round numbers.

Diplomatic relations between Japan
and Russia were broken off Sunday The
Russian government announces that the
rupture was the act of Japan, which did
not even await the Russian answer to
its late note before withdrawing it's min
sister from St Petersburg On Monday
the Russo-Japanese war was declared
practically on.
Official confirmation of the report that
Japan had broken off diplomatic negotia-
tions was furnished by the Russian gov
eminent Sunday. The Japanese minis
ter and all the legation staff hurried
from st. Petersburg on the way out of
Russia The Russian diplomats in Japan
were ordered by the Cars government
to hasten out of Japan. Russia places
the entire onus OH Japan.
Although the fear was general in st.
Petersburg that the presentation of the
Russian note to Japan might be followed
by an act on the part of the Japanese
government which would plunge the two
countries into war. the startling action
of Japan in severing diplomatic rela-
tions with Russia before the actual deliv-
cry of the Russian note came like 4
thunderbolt. 1t was believed that the
receipt or the note might unmaSk an
ultimatum, but that Japan should sever
diplomatic relations, a step little short
of declaration of war, was almost like
blow in the face.

News Received in Europe.

Naval men in London regard the
result Of Japans first attack with torpedo
boats on the Russian fleet off Port Ar
thur as being a staggering one. In Paris
the news created CONSERVATION. The Off
cials of the foreign office were among the
first to receive the information and their
advices were similar to those of The st.
Petersburg Official Gazette. In Berlin
Japan's initial success produced a deep
impression both on the people and mill
tary and naval critics. Groups gathered
around the distributors of the extras"
in the streets and read the news almost
with ordinations of gladness.
1t would appear that the torpedoing Of
the enemy's vessels lying under powerful
land batteries must have been carried out
daringly and skiHfully. As Niceroy
Alexieff did not mention any Japanese
losses in his first dispatch the common
talk of naval officers was that the Jap
anese have shown that they can handle
their ships better than the Russians.

JAPAN WELL PREPARED FOR WAR.
Financial Condition Especially Favor
able for Meeting Big Outlay.


Comparisons of the financial and naval
strength of Japan and Russia are being
closely scanned. Ii it possessed the
command of the sea- with sufficient mon
etary resources, Japan could easily place.
on the Asiatic continent an army which
Russia would be perpeXed to crush. 1t,
has been repeatedly alleged in ill-nform-i
ed circles that the present state of
Japan's finances handicaps her heavily
for fighting purposes. Precisely the same
estimate found general credence at thel
outset of the war in 1894. But in truth
Japan's position to-day is incomparablyi
better than it was then. She has IN the
vaults of he Central Bank specie aggre-l
eating 113,O0O,0OO ven G11, 800, OO0), an
altogether unprecedented amount There
also remains to the bank Il legal marglnl
of 35,000000 of note-issuing power.
which will probably be expanded to at
least 50,000,9e0 when the invariable
year send drain is succeeded by the
spring deposits.
Japan's actual OUTLAWS during her war
with Clint in 1S94-95 were 165, 22o,O 900
yen on account of the army and 3o,OO0,-
600 yen on account Of the navy i'll which
figures there were included large sums.
for the purchase Of transports, men-of-
war and ammunition, none of which ex-
penses would now have to be incurred
AS for the hard money side of the ae-
count, the aggregate OUTLAWS did NOT
reach 100000 yen 1t may be said
that the financial situation is now Eota'
bly, favorable for Japan.

A Russian officer who lately returned
from the far east is quoted by the Mos

Provisions from Trees.

There is a tree which grows in Algeria and China which is known as the vegetable tallow tree. From it's fruit large quanti. ties of oil and tallow are extract. ed, and the fruit is gathered in November or December, when all the leaves have fallen. Excellent candles are made from the berries of a tree which grows in some parts of South Africa and the Azores. At Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is very agreeable in taste. In Ceylon there is the breadfruit tree, from which a food is made in the same way that we make bread. ltis said to be equally good and nu- tritious. In South America we find the milk tree.-Phjladelphi8 Ledger.

Curious Incident.

A man on Twenty-third street furnished much amusement to number of people on recent windy afternoon by a predicament he fell into, or rather that fell onto him. A large gunny sack dropped from the roof of one of the buildings, and, as it descend ed, filled with air, coming down with mouth wide open, like bal loon. It struck the unfortunate man squarely over the head, GOV ering him completely down be- low the shoulders, and pinioning his arms so that he had difficulty in extricating himself. He strug- gled as if he thought he was being Kidnapped until he managed to get the sack of his head.-N. Y Post.
