"Oh, the great man! Oh, the
~ great manv' murmured the
writer, fascinated.
The grandeur of the sacrifice had
struck them dumb. They did not un-
derstand the motives beneath it all, but
the fact was patent. Big Junko broke
down and sobbed.
After a time the stream of logs
through the gap slackened. In a mo-
ment more, save for the inevitably
stranded few, the booms were empty.
A deep sigh went up from the atten-
tdve multitude. 49,.

emphasis of novel discovery, and

Then the awe broke from about their
minds, and they spoke many opinions

and did not follow him.

Then they noticed group of men

on it some one talking Collins, the

Collins was little .hatchet faced

100000 LOSE VOTES.
Great Number Who Secured BOGUS
Citizenship Papers Lose Their
Erapcbtoa

Washington, Aug. 16.-The bureau of
immigration estimates as a result OF
Investigations carried on for some time
by it's agents IND secret service detect
ives, that 100, 900 immigrants have Sc
cured fraudulent naturalization papers
within the last yea These papers,
which entitle them to the full privileges
of American citizenship, it has been
discovered, were forged by a gang in
the neighborhood of New York. and
sold in he United States and abroad
TO immigrants. When they reached
New York they would merely show
their naturalization certificates and be
permitted to enter the country without
question.
Besides New York. frauds have beer
discovered in Boston. Indianapolis and
other cities. Most of the men with the
fraudulent papers are said to be
Italians, many thousands Of whom are
in New York. AS fast as discovered,
their papers have been conf1scated.
1t must necessarily follow that their
names will have to be stricken of the
registration books and they be not
permitted to vote at the November
election. This fact is causing New
York democratic politicians consider.
able anxiety, inasmuch as most of the
Italians there are understood to be
democrats
If all the bogus citizens names are
stricken from the registration books
1t probably will make a change Of sew
eral thousand votes in New York city
alone, 1t is said.

GERMAN BEER LEADS,
Figures Placing This Country Ahead
in Production Disputed in :.
Washinqton,

Washington, Aug. 16-Mr. Mason, the
consul general at Berlin, has advised
the state department that Germany
yields first place in beer production to
the United States. Mr.. Mason fur
nishes figures to support this state
ment, and the internal revenue officials
cannot understand where he has OBJ
tained them. Mr.. Mason says that, ac-
cording to the statistics Of the German
Brewers association, their product in,
1908 declined to 1,7S7, GLE, 900 gallons, or
1877, 0S5. 230 gallons less than the output
of the United States. Ny. Mason's con-
clusion is not justified by the official
figures, showing the output Of fer
mented liquors in this country.
The German statement, which is
doubtless correct, is for the calendar
year 1908; and when Mr.. Mason wrote
he had at hand a copy of the report
of the commissioner of internal revenue
of the United States for the year end
ing with June, 1908. According to that
report. there were produced in the
United States that year 49, $50. 100 bar
1.446,172.630 gallons. In addition. there
were exported 2,152,919 gallons on which
no tax was paid. This would make the
total output for the year LAS, 1886 $40
gallons. which is $3.50, 1913, 451 gallons be-
low the production of Germany, as re-
ported by Consul General Mason.
For the year ending June 80. 1904, the
production of fermented liquors in the
United States VS. 4S,2OS, 1873 barrels,
1872, S78 gallons below the output Of Ger
many for 1903. The quantity exported
during 1904 is not available, but esti-
mating it at $500, 900 gallons. the pro-
ductton in this country would be $780,
5000 0 gallons below that Of Germany.

DISEASE IN
The STOCK YARDS
Federal Authorities Concerned
About Live Stock Situation
in Chicago.
DoNNELLY WILL G
Says He l. Willing to Give Up on
Some Points, But Doesn't Expect
the Packers Will Do Any
Business for a While.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Presidcnt Michaer
]. Donnelly is admitting he is ready to
waive some of the demands that have
caused the deadlock in the stock yards
strike, but declared today that he does
not believe there is any prospect of
immediate settlement, as he does not
think the packers will accept the inter-
vention of a third party. A statement
to this effect came from Donnelly while
the committee of retail meat dealers
was preparing to call on Mayor Harri-
son to intervene and settle the strike.
Donnelly today received notification
that an agreement has been reached
with the Nebraska Packing company,
an independent concern of Nebraska
City, Neb., through which 500 u%nionfsts
returned to work after a months lock-
out. Union recognition and the other
points demanded by the union are said
to have been granted.
Fearing that stock yards fever would
develop to a serious extent among the
thousands of cattle held an unusually
long time at h yards since the strike
began, the department of agriculture
has introduced itself In the Chicago
situation by having a special investiga-
ton made, and q report on the situa-
ton has been prepared for the secre-
tary OF agriculture by S. F. Giles. who
has conducted his culture work with
fever germs.

Japanese Emperor Anxious for Most
Humane Regulations at the Crisis.
Toxic. Aug. 16.-Another sign that a
minent is found in the fact that the
emperor has notified Field Marshal
Yamagata Of his desire that non-com-
batants shall be allowed opportunity to
leave the fortress. Yamagata has CIV
en- instructions to the Japanese COM
mander at Port Dalny to that effect.
Further details of the naval engage
ment of the 10th indicate that Togo's
main attack was directed against the
Russian battleships and hat while this
was going on tie speedier Russian
cruisers succeeded in getting away.
Chefoo. Aug. 16.-A junk which has
arrived here, having left Port Arthur
on August 8, brings confirmation Of the
previous reports of severe fighting day
and night. One Japanese shell struck
the corner of a building in Port Arthur
and killed or wounded 200 people. Fiji
teen six-inch shells fell at one spot at
the water front In one day, but hurt no
one. 1t is roughly estimated that the
Japanese are from five to eight miles
from Port Arthur.
Tientsin. Aug. 13.-The japanese
transports which are now lying at New
chwang have been forbidden to depart,
presumably because Of the fear that
they might be subjected to danger at
sea.
1t is believed here that the japanese
are delaying the general engagement
at Lao Yang until after the fall Of
Port Arthur, where the assault is
thought now to be taking place.

ST. PETERSBURG VET HOPES.
But 1t Admits That the Naval Reverse
Is a Seuere Blow.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 16.-The news of
the death of Rear Admiral Without and
the failure of a majority of the larger
warships of the Port Arthur squadron
was not known his morning when a
brilliant array of officers and diplo-
inatists assembled in the magnificent
Kazan cathedral to attend a tie deum
in honor of the birth Of the heir aD-
parent, Alexis. The metropolitan read
to the congregation a manifesto an
%nouncing the birth. and Their the whole
assemblage Bonded the knee as the pre-
late invoked Gods blessing on the fu-
ture emperor. Veteran warriors were
shaken with emotion and many per-
sons wept and prayed audibly. Sim
liar services We're held throughout the
empire.
telegram from Using Chou announcing
the death of Rear Admiral Without
and the result of the sortie of the Rus
sian %warships, leaving no doubt of the
severe character OF the reverses sus-
tanned by the Port Arthur squadron.
The return Of a majority of the Rus
sian warships to Port Arthur has not
softened the blow. On the contrary it
is felt that their retreat toward the
b%eleagured fortress has dashed all
hopes of a juncture with the Vladivo-
stok squadron.
Naval men believe, however, that the
Japanese were badly battered and that
Togo will not be in a position to fol-
low up his success.
h Associated Press is able, on the
highest authority, to deny the reports
that Argentine warships have been
purchased by Russia and joined the
~Nladivostok squadron. The admiralty
strongly repudiates the allegation that
the battleship Czarevitch is being re-
paired with German assistance. No
such breach of neutrality is possible.

A N TARIFF REDUCED
j. j. Hill Predicts Greater Comforts for
the Average American as a
Result.

New York, Aug. 13.-James ]. Hill.
fnancier and railroad king, is optimis-
tic regarding the political and business
outlook. Returning to New York from
an extended western trip, he said that
the crop outlook was promising and
that business was bound to be good be-
u the farmer was never more pros
porous than this season.
Are you going to run for the gov
ernorship of Minnesota, as has been re-
ported?" Mr.. Hill was asked today.
Il never took an active interest in
politics but once, and that was in the
campaign of 1896. l do not intend to
get into politics again If l can help it,
and | do not see any reason why I
should"
What do you think of Judge Par
ker's chances?"
Well" said Mr.. Hill. Il have just
been reading Judge Parker's speech OF
acceptance and 1 like it. l believe he is
a sound man."
What is the business and crop sit
uation in the west?"
II see no reason to change my orig
inal estimate as to the wheat crop,
which was 540.0G0,00 bushels up in
my section of the country, and further
north reports indicate that the crop is
in excellent condition. Everything
po!nts to a great fall business for the
ldlliOduS. Inc dTedL NOrlNern IS doing
a much larger business than 1t did last
year. The farmers, very generally, are
prosperous. The only depression seems
to be in manufacturing districts. They
are having labor troubles and the do
nestle demand is not as great as the
supply.
II believe that we must come in
evitably to perhaps a reduction in the
general wage scale, but certainly to a
less e%xtravagant Of living. IL
wages are reduced the cost Of COM
modities Will fall with a reduction in
JOY greater comforts, I believe, than IL
the case at present."

FARMER is PROSPEROUS
Banks in the West Report That They
Have Plenty of Money to Handle
the Crops.

N LAL ~
Chicago, Aug. 16.-Reports received
by the Commercial National bank in
answer to questions sent to corre-
spondents in various cities in sixteen
western and southern states and terri
tons are in excellent condition for
handling the crops this fall. Replies
were received from 1892 bankers. They
reported less land speculation by farm
ers than a year and two years ago.. and
that in many sections farmers had
lands are reported as increasing in
value and the farmers generally are
said to be prosperous.
The condition of the interior banks
explains the hardness Of the call on
Chicago and New York institutions for
assistance In moving the crops. It IL
expected by local bankers hat the call
will come later this year than usual,
and that the amounts Of money re-
quired will be lighter. They are well
prepared, generally, to meet the de-
land when it comes.
The prevailing condition Of trade at
interior points was reported as salts
were d year ago. In the larger cities
business in most lines is dull. showing
a considerable falling off in volume Of
that of a year This is particulars
ly true OF h southern banks on ac-
count of the large cotton crop last year.
Reports as to new enterprises were
not satisfactory, many banks ignoring
1t altogether. It is estimated, how
ever, hat 500, 000, 900 has been invest
ed in new enterprises in the southern
states within the year. The bank con-
cludes that good crops are well as
sured and that If labor conditions were
more satisfactory there would be no
obstacle to general conditions of good:
business ard prosperity.

contested the American claims to be
granted certain privileges given to sim
