TAKEN TO A NEUTRAL PORT
RUSSIANS CAPTURE TWO MORE

THE RED SEA.

London, July 25.-Count Bencken-
dOrff, the Russian ambassador, has re-
ceived official notification from ST. Pc
tersburg reporting the capture of two
more British ships in the Red sea
and instructions fom his government
to notify Great Britain that the same
procedure will be followed as in the
case OF the Malacca, namely. the yes.

examination by the consuls OF the two
nations concerned.
The effect of the additional seizures

NOT TO ARREST ANY MORE
MERCHANTMEN
GREAT BRITAIN NOTIFIED OF ACTION
STEAMERS STOPPED PEEDINo RE.
CEIPT OF ORDERS WILL BE
SET AT LIBERTY.

et. Petersburg. July 25.-The Asso-
ciated Press is able TO announce that
Russia has informally notified Great
Britain that orders have been issued
to the Russian cruisers in the Red
sea not to arrest any more merchant
men and it has been agreed between
the two powers that if, pending the
receipt Of these orders by the captains
of the St Petersburg and the Smol-
ensk, any other ships should be stop
ped and held as prizes these acts shall
be regarded as not having taken place
and the ships concerned at once re-
leased.
While not admitting the illegality
of the Russian action in converting
vessels of the volunteer fleet into war
ships after they had reached the Red
sea, II is probable, in view of the fact
that neutral ships did not receive pre-
vious notice, that Russia, in order To
remove the shadow of cloud upon
their right to fly the war flag, will
formally notify the powers OF their
conversion into warships, thus putting
all neutrals upon their guard.
In the meantime all the ships seized
will be released unless the captains
refuse to show their manifests, in
which event the procedure in the case
of the Malacca probably will be fol-
lowed.

ONE OF THE VICTIMS MAY DIE

Bonesteel, S. D., July pa serious
shooting affray took place here about
A a. m. Sylvester Harrison of Wichi-
ia, Kan, and man named Stan
drough, whose address cannot be learn
ed, two special policemen, were shot
by gang of thugs in front of saloon.
Harrison was shot in the forehead
and at first it was thought his wound
would prove fatal Later he was rest
ing easily and it is now hoped he will
recover. Stanbrough's wound was in
the leg and will not result seriously.
Harrison, who is about twenty-four
years of age, arrived here the previous
night with a friend, who claims that
the young man is in good financial
circumstances. Being a lover OF ex-
citement he at once joined the police
force and had been on duty but short
time when he was shot. The men who
did the shooting ran around back of
the saloon and made their escape in
the darkness and have not yet been
apprehended A vigilance committee
was at once formed and began round
ing up the obJectional characters of
the town The station house is full
and arrests are being made every few
minutes.
1t is reported that pitched battle
occurred at a roadhouse a mile east
of town, in which a dozen or fifteen
shots were exchanged, but the details
are not yet obtainable.
John McPhaul, in charge of the reg
iStry Office of the federal government,
sent a message to Governor Herried s
secretary telling of the lawlessness
and offering the opinion that troops
should be sent to that town to pre-
serve order until after the rush at
tending the entry period, which be-
gins Aug. 8.

BIG METEORITE FOUND.
10 Nearly Entirely Embedded Among
Timber Strips.

Kenyon, Mimi, July 25.-The mete-
orite noticed falling in various parts
of the state the early part OF the week
was found by searching party in the
heavy timber strips on the farm OF. j..
A. Tale, four and one-half miles north
east of Kenyon. 1t is of dark blue
color with highly ribboned black lines
and reddish brown spots. 1t appeared
solidly embedded with about five
sixths of its bulk in the ground. 1t is
estimated to weigh between 1000 and
5000 pounds.
Small trees We're ground into pulp
and limbs of large oaks were broken
like matches by its descent. The in
dications are that there was intense
heat for hours after its fall 1t was
cold when found, the earth being bak-
ed into the solidity of pottery from
eight to fifteen yards surrounding. A
test by Professor Ramos of the Kenyon
high school. one of the searching par
ty, discloses that there is metal in it..
The farmer owning the land refuses
a liberal offer.

that they must have a strong naval

BY HANNA'S BEDSIDE
The Senator Only Kept Alive by the Constant use Of
oxygen Absolutely no Hope for his Recovery

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. Is, Mo,
tionlcss as the dead, Senator Hanna has
been breathing out the last hours OF his
life The s a. m. bulletin said that since
O'Clock this morning Mr.. Hanna had lost
ground. He was no longer able to take
nourishment by his mouth His tempera-
ture was not so high, but his pulse was
more rapid and weaker, and his respira-
ton had increased.
Shortly after the bulletin was issued
DIR. Osler told Herrick that Hanna might
die at any time or possibly survive the
day, but that the end was near at hand.
At Q a. m. it was announced that the
patient was in the same condition. He
was barely kept alive, through the use OF
oxygen and injections
At 9;40 a. m. the battle for life was still
in progress. Secretary Dover announced
to the waiting correspondents that only
heroic measures were keeping the senator
alive.
DR.. Osler later said it was marvellous
that he still lived and that the end might
come at any time.

SOME GOOD IN 81
HEATHEN RELIGIONS

Rev. A. Fl. Barnhisel, pastor of the
First Presbyteria nchurch, delivered a
very interesting and instructive missionary
sermon yesterday morning. He spoke of
the various religions extant in the world
and stated that there was some good in
all beliefs.
He said: "It is not the proper thing
to condemn the so-called heather faiths as
completely bad The attitude of Christian
nations toward n-Christian people and
religions is increasingly that of sympathy
and Appreciation There is much common
ground in all religions There are noble
teachings in the Christian faiths To
classify Christianity with Confucianism or
Buddhism is to be utterly trivial in ones
estimate.
"The former opposition to missions can
no longer be maintained on reasonable
or intelligent grounds. Until recently
it has been common for those opposed to
missions to declare that the religions of
the various nations are as sacred to them
as ours is TO us and that it is violation
of all honor or justice or right to in
terfere with the faiths of other people.
1t has been urged that their sincerity even
in error is as good to them as truth. Such
shallow sentimentality has little weight
with any but shallow minds and super
fetal religious faith
The speaker closed with an earnest ap-
peal for a more aggressive missionary spir-
it, and said: "Miasions are the test of
church's faith in Christianity as suited to
all men, of the protesting Christians love
for those whom Christ came to save, and
of the believers obedience to the Mas
ter's last command"

reason for his sudden departure and he
