CAME AS A SURPRISE.

United States officials at Washing
 ton and San Francisco were given a
 surprise on Sunday last by the Rus sian curiser, Lena dropping anchor in
 San Francisco harbor unheralded and unexpected. While she steamed in through Golden Gate, if she had drop
 ped into San Francisco bay, from
 the clouds the surprise occasion
 ed by her arrival would scarcely
 have been greater. The cap
 tain of the'cruiseT announced that her
 boilers are in bad condition and he simply dropped in there to have them repaired at the Union Iron works. The Japanese colony in San Francisco was thrown into a great commotion by her presence there and protested against her being allowed to remain over the specified twenty-four hours, which vessels of belligeIent countries are permitted to remain in neutral ports. They claim that the mission of the cruiser is to intercept and capture or destroy large consignment of flour which is to be shipped soon from the above port to Japan.
 In the meantime an inspection of the boilers of the warshjp were made by United States officials to determine the vessel is sea worthy or not, and if she is not then interna- tional law would permit of her re- there long enough to be placed in condition rendering her capable of going to sea without dan per

Secretary Taft has been speaking his mind about President Roosevelt. He says: "In all my experience never have met a man in authority who has less pride of opinion in the judgments that he has formed in respect to situ- ations presented to him for action than has Theodore Roosevelt. I have never met man who was so amenable to reason, so anxious to reach just and so willing to sacrifice a previously formed opinion as the President of the United States. He is not tyrant, but he is leader. Does the American nation object to this?"

CLARK'S BIG INCOME.
Sufficient to Supply Funds to Build
 Railroad.

"Apropos of that news item in the
 Comercial the other day to the effect
 that Senator Clark and E. H. liar
 rimar are joint owners of the San
 Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
 railroad," said "Tom" McGilI, erst
 while of Butte, Mont, Git may be of
 interest as showing how enormous are
 the fortunes of our American multi
 millionaires to tell you people of the east fact that is we'll known in Mon tana, for Senator Clark himself is authority for the facts, and he told
 it to me, with others. Ever since work was begun on that road Senator Clark has drawn on the first of every month check for S9OO, 900 to be ap- piled to construction. There is noth- ing remarkable, of course, in that, but there is in the further fact that the s900, GOO was a draft on his income alone, not Sl of the sum having been drawn from his capital account. He told party of us one evening that when that road was completed it would have been finished without talk ing a single cent of his capital and that he had not started work on it until he had figured out that be could build it from his income accounts alone. The income from his mines and other enterprises will have paid for it in its entirety when he turns it over to the company that is to own and manage it.
 'It is pretty hard to say that this is without parallel in the railroad history of the world Other men may have been able to build short roads in this way, but so far as I know there is no record of such an achieve ment. But it is perfectly safe to say that there is no other road in the world of its length and actual cost the former about 800 miles and the latter unknown to me-that has been built by one man from a private in- come. As the Senator is the shrewd- est of business men you can bet your last penny that he knows to a cent just what that road has cost.-N. Y.

Members of the republican national committee at Chicago headquarters express the opinion that the socialist vote next November may exceed the populist vote, and that 75 per cent. of the socialist recruits will come from the dissatisfied Bryan and Hearst democrats. It is reported that, with in a month, uine labor unions have been pledged almost bodily to the Debs ticket, and that the socialistic propaganda is active in New York, Chicago and Indianapolis and other centers of population.

POLITICAL BOOMERANG.

The populists are laying for Bryan when he attempts to take the stump for Parker and propose to flood the city or town in which he appears with circulars containing some of his previous utterances in reference to MT. Parker. Among those tantalizing statements prepared for his reception is the following bunch:
 ''It would mean that those who at tempted to reach the white house, if Parker were elected, would have to wade through peanut shells knee deep.n
 ''The Albany platform ought to prevent Parker's nomination, unless the democrats decide to attempt a confidence game on the public.'' D
 "My objection to Parker is that he goes before the country on a coward ly and straddling platform, that can only appeal to towards and 'strad- dlers.' I object to loaded dice.''
 ''We are opposed to the burglarious methods which are now being employ ed to foist upon the party a speeches. candidate and a meaningless plat form"

The republic of Panama has made arrangements to have its silver money minted by the United States mint at Philadelphia, and the work will be commenced there as soon as the dies have been made, which will be some time in October. So far as the treas ury officials now know, the new re- public will have about S1, 300, 900 in silver money as a starter. The coins will be at the ratio of B to 1-about the present Japanese ratio-and will be convertable into United States dollars, halves, quarters, dimes and 5-cent pieces. In addition, there will be coin of the value of 215 cents, which, of course, will not be directly convertable into American money.

T The village of Thornton, Illinois, is one of the most fortunate places heard
 of in recent years. But for its good forum it would probably never have
 been heard of outside of a limited circle. Its board of trustees having accumulated a surplus sufficient to pay all ordinary expenses for a year or more has voted to abolish the town taxes for the coming year. The cIti- zens of this modern Arcadia have de- cided to set apart day to celebrate their good fortune and will devote portion of the surplus to the purchase of fireworks, and pyrotechnic dis llay will be mingled with oratory and other forms of joyous manifestations.

An effort will be made during the coming session of Congress for the establishment of a department of mining and metaIlurgy. By reason of It's great influence upon all other resources and industries and the ad- vancement of the country, many men of influence think mining should re- ceive equal consideration with agri- culture and other pursuits. Certain it is that if it is worth while to keep weather bureau running, the Gov ernment might recognize an important industry like mining.

LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.

President Roosevelt's letter of ac-
 ceptance, is one of the boldest docu-
 ments which ever emanated from a
 nominee. He deals in a forcible and fearless manner, and endeavors to
 draw out the opposition as to what
 the principles of that party is and
 what particular question they propose to make the leading issue of the campaign. The letter contains 12, 1000
 words and every sentence full of
 thought. The president does not
 mince matters in the least nor deal in
 platitudes, but makes his meaning
 perfectly plain on every subject. A
 few sample sentences will give an idea
 of the nature of the letter. He starts
 out by saying:
 "It is difficult to find out from the
 utterances of our opponents what are
 the real issues upon which they pro-
 pose to wage this campaign. It is not
 unfair to say that, having abandoned most of the principles upon which they have insisted during the last eight year, they now seem at loss, both as to what it is that they really believe, and as to how firmly they shall assert their belief in anything. In fact, it is doubtful if they venture resolutely to press a single issue; as soon as they raise one they shrink from it and seek to explain it away"
 Speaking of the republican party: and it's principles he says in no uncertain manner:
 "We do no have to guess at our own and then correct the guess if it seems unpopular. The principles which we profess are those in which we believe with heart and | soul and strength. Men may differ from us; but they cannot accuse us of shiftiness or insincerity. The | policies we have pursued are those which we earnestly hold as essential to the national welfare and repute. OOA dObAOho cpCoh Indd our words for the faith that is in us We base our appeal upon what we have done and are doing, upon our record of administration and legislation dur ing the last seven years, in which we have had complete control of the gov eInment. We intend in the future to carry on the government in the same way that we have carried it on in the past''
 He deals with the Panama question, the financial question, the trusts. tariff, alleged public extravagance, the Philippines all in the same manner, carrying conviction to every fair minded person and show ing up the waveriug changing policy of the democratic party, in such a manner as to show that the real policy of that party was tersely but forcibly by Senator Daniel of Vir- ginia, when he said, "We are tired of being forever in the minor Ity.''

The Exaimner publishes telegram which states the total sum which Grandpa Davis will contribute to the campaign fund is $50, ,OOO. His broth CT, Col. Thomas B. Davis, also a millionaire, of West Virginia, who was expected to put up large sum too, makes a similar donation. Henry G. Davis daughters, Mrs. EIkins, wife of Senator Elkins, who dislikes the fact that his aged father law has been burdened with campaign re- responsibilities, and Mrs. Arthur Lee, are opposed to their father putting large sums in the campaign and are known to have so expressed them selves. His only son, John T. Davis, now ill of typhoid fever, objects to his father making contributions such as it has been pusbIished that he would likely make. Four years ago John T. Davis spent large sums in four counties hoping to aid his Uncle Tom in his race for Congress, but DO results were obtained at all, Colonel Davis being defeated by large vote. Since then the Davises have had little faith in politicians judiciously spend ing money and they are very cautious about handing it out.

It is quite remarkable how the dem ocrats are scaling down all the SUD- posed to be issues between them and the republicans Thus far the cam paign has been conducted on negative lines with the single exception of the general assault upon President Roose- velt, and that has narrowed itself down to bis policy in the conduct of affairs. Senator Bailey recently said in Brooklyn, N. Y: "The dullest man knows perfectly we'll that free trade is an absolute impossibility in this republic.' Judge Parker agrees with the republicans on the queston of Philippine self government-"whe they are competent for it." Nobody thinks of re-opening the Panama canal question. The labor question will have to ork out its own solution. And the democrats have nothing bet ter to propose, regarding the trusts than the republicans. The only ques- tion remaining isis Roosevelt a good man?

in the Cooper Estate
UNIVERSITY GIVES UP $50, 600
Trustees Refuse to Go Into Litigation
to Secure the Big Gift offered by
the Former Kenosha Man.-Rea-
sons are Not Made Public.

will not share in the division of the
estate of the late Willis w. Cooper,
formerly of this city, as it. was an
nounced this morning that the attor-
neys representing the trustees of the
university have notified the attorneys
for the estate that they will waive all
rights to share in the estate.
This action of the university is
taken in keeping withsthe recent &C
ton of the American Missionary So
city and no reasons have been. made
public for the action of the trustees.
The attorneys for the gestate and the
widow had made arrangements to
contest this clause of sthe will in the
County court, and it is claimed that
there was little chance for the univer-
sity to make good it's claims to the
property on account Of the fact that it
would have been almost impossible
for the trusteeship to be arranged as
provided in the will.
The action of the university will go
a long ways toward allowing an i'm
mediate settlement Of the estate. 1t
will eliminate all the litigation that
had been expected in connection with
the settlement of the estate and it is
now probable that the estate will be
settled within few weeks.
The action of the university will
practically leave the estate to be di-
vided equally between the widow of
Mr.. Cooper and Mrs. Maude Cooper
Beache1, the surviving daughter
The papers in the matter have not
as yet been filed in the County court,
but it is understood they will be filed
within few days.
In this connection an order was
placed on record in the County court
this morning directing the executor
of the will to pay to Lawrence Uni
versity the sum of $1,000, which was
claimed by the university on account
of note given byiMr. Cooper several

THE last election has shown a good
many cities that they cannot get
along without voting machines, and
the orders are pouring in on the vot-
ing machine manufa cturers at great
rate. With enough business already
booked to test the capacity of the
plants, and more in sight that is
bound to come their way without any
special effort on their part, the man
ufacturers of the best makes of vot-
ing machines are not trying to induce
the cities which still hang back to
just now. Before the election the
manufacturers were eager to place
the machines. They were willing to
accept almost any kind of an offer to
get the machines on trial, but just at
present they are not looking for any
more business. Kenosha was about
two months too late in making up it's
mind to try the machines, and that is
the reason that no answers to the re-
quest of the city for bids and specifi-
cations on the machines have been re-
ceived. The manufacturers will be
in better position to handle this bus
mess later, and they are perfectly
willing to let it wait awhile.

collection of claims against the Black
Cat Garter company by fling claim
of SIS, 277.5 SO against the estate. This
claim is made on account of a note
made by the Black Cat Garter COM
pany and endorsed by Mr.. Cooper.
The executor of the will has filed a
petition asking that the claim be de-
clared invalid on account Of the fact
that the last day for fling claims
against the estate was the first Tues
day in September.
1t is said that this claim is simply a

of q. large number of other claims.
