N. Y. a fortune through the death OF
a relative in Virginia. This became
known yesterday by the visit to the Man
haitian Avenue Police Court, Williams

Richmond, Va, and was looking for
Mrs. Hayes.

was arrested on the charge of having
abandoned her two children, Florence
and Robert, 8 and years old. AT that
time the woman said her husband had

PROFESSOR GOODWIN SMITH, OF 10
ronto. formerly professor OF modern MS
,orv at Oxford, in an article for the Lon
don Monthly Review, predicts that the
American republic is staggering toward
IFS DOOM" He sees the signs In the
;mpotence of the federal government to
STAY strikes and lynching; the growing
mower of an oligarchal and plutocratlc
Senate, the perils of imperialism, and,
most of all, in the evils of party rule
and strife, which he calls the rawlings o.
a consuming fever. He says the quail
fication for the nomination is no Longer
eminence, but availability; that it is nc
longer question of which man is mos
worthy to be President, but OF whlcl
man can carry New York or Ohio. Owe
one hundred years ago Englishmen pre-
dicted that the United States would g
to pieces at the first presidential election
Some, it seems, still think the elements
of destruction are in elections for thu
chief magistrate.

Plot Planned in Geneva.

Geneva, Aug. 2.-The Russian police

NJ. PlehvA, Russian Minister of the In
terror, was planned at Geneva by the
committee Of a Dorjevaya organization.
Confederates of the assassin have been
traced to a villa close to the French from
tier on Lake Lehman, where the details
of the crime were arranged The leader
let it be supposed that he was a retired
French tradesman named Duval. The
members of the committee approached
the villa in a small boat, disguised as
fishermen, early in the morning. A high
wall about the place insured secrecy.

and Milanitch started for st. Petersburg
bearing death warrants for the Gar, M.

TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 2. 1904

THE LARGER destiny of the American
nation in the evolution Of the race is sug-
gested in the following passage from a
speech made by Justice Brewer, OF the
Supreme Court, at Milwaukee, last week
s.I think that the time will come when
the pcople of the United States will look
hack to the barbarous laws excluding
the Chinese as citizens of Massachusetts
look back to the hanging of the witches.
America is the great composite pho
tographer of nations, with duty to take
all the various races of the earth with
all the various elements of those nations
and put them on the canvas to make one
pjcture, one race" While many Will
dissent from the judge on this one race
proposition for the simple reason that ma
ture intended that there should be many
races nearly all sensible men will agree
with him concerning the Chinese exclu-
sion. There is room in this country on
the farm lands for thousands of Chinese
and their labor would make these lands
flourish and bring wealth to their owners
and to the nation.
