night installed Great Sachem. of the In
denendent Order of Red Men at the
Great State council held at Mansfield
A large delegation of Cantonians was
present to witness the ceremonies and
show honor to their fellow townsmen.
OF the newly installed sachem the
Mansfield News says:
-. a. Williams, who will be elevated
to Great Sachem on Wednesday, is a
busy man at the convention. He Is
comparative young and looks more
like boy than one of his age. From
the time he entered the ranks of the
brotherhood he has been popular and
he has filed his various offices with
credit to himself and his fraternity.
He is chief engineer for the Diebold
Safe and Lock company at Canton, and
draws a lucrative salary 1t will not
be out of place here, and 1t is hoped
1t will not be embarrassing Mr.. Will
liams, to remark he is one of the best
looking Indians in Ohio"

SASAK|
The Man Who Took Feng
Huang Cheng.

Toxic, May 11.-Uondon Times)
The capture of Feng Huang Cheng
was effected, not by the troops under
General Kurold which participated in
the battle of Kiuleng Chcng, but by
a fresh division under Major General
Sasaki, which starting eastward on
April 30, crossed the Yalu river at
Chang Seng and moved on the Rus
sian position at Feng Huang Cheng
by the mountain road which General
Kuropatkin had boasted was impassa.
BILE.
There was method in General Ku
ropatkin's hurried retreat. If he had
remained at Feng Huang Cheng and
ATTEMPTED to resist the Japanese, Gen.
eral Kuroki would have attacked him
in front while General Sassali woulu
have turned the Russian flank and
very likely have cut off their retreat

Anarchistlc Plot,

London, May 12,-The Vienna cor
respondent of the London Daily Lead
er states that the recent attempt to
destroy the arsenal at Kronsadt was
but one feaure of an anarchistic plot
which has been disclosed through the
cupidity of one of the conspirators
who. for a reward of 100000 made a
complete confession to the police.
The anarchists had planned TO blow
up the winter palace In st. Peters
burg; murder the czar and czarina and
blow up every arsenal in Russia. Be-
cause of the revelations made, the
guards at the palace and the arsenals
have been doubled and the secret police
are endeavoring to locate the princi-
pals In the conspiracy.

Some days ago this department gave
the Current Commentator of the
Youngstown Telegram a gentle call
for crediting one of its poems to
the Cincinnati Press Post, and suggest
ed than an apology was due to the
latter paper. To which the Commen-
tator replies:
"On the contrary the Commentator
will apologize to the Canton News poet
for the blunder. He Is guilty Of COM
plimenting the rress Post, which he
certainly had no intention of doing.
The editor of While Waiting for the
Commentators opinion, turns out some
of the best newspaper poetry In the
country. 1t is brief, pointed and me-
lodious and were the Commentator
governor of Ohio he would make the
Canton News singer the poet laureate
Of the Buckeye state. The Commenta-
tor again humbly apologies and ad-
mits that the soda is on him"
The apology of the Telegram is here
by accepted, but the soda is declined.
