Thus each printer gets small portion only
of a story at a time. He does not get two
consecutive portions, and SO may work all

and the fact that he did not permit the

upon as protection against any possible pro-

as a mere matter of detail the adjus tment

wrestle with big tents They have touched
on flood and high water conditions here and
there and arranged to dodge i'll between the
rainy seasons in many belts. They have
laid out a new route over a stretch of 300
miles to avoid a country where they have
seen indications that there are going to be
labor troubles which will make the people
short of money.
Now they are getting down to the specific
dates from town to town.

AN ILLEGAL VOTER
SPIRITED AWAY
Some Interested and Unknown Per-
SON Furnished Bail.

New York, Nov. ia sensation was
created in Justice Davies branch OF
the supreme court this afternoon when
John Krup, indicted for illegal voting
in the recent municipal election, failed
to appear for pleading and his attor-
ney's expressed ignorance as to his
whereabouts. Earlier in the day Krup' &
release had been secured under in
creased bail, a $1,000 cash bond being
fled.
State Attorney General Mayer, who
was in court, was indignant at the turn
of affairs. Tonight the attorney gener-
al made public this statement: Every
effort will be made to ascertain who
put up the $4,000 bail and who en-
ployed counsel to defend Krup. The fail
ure of Krup to appear in court was as
fragrant a defiance of law as l ever
heard Of. The disappearance of Krup
is the best confirmation of the state
ment made by me in court urging that
his bail be increased. 1 believe there
were reasons apart from his own why
Krup did not appear"
Justice Davies declared the $4,000
forfeited.

In the course of the testimony of Mr..

ed whether he directly or indirectly had

Mr.. Odell was the first witness of

company says that an imperial mani
festo granting land concession to the
peasants was issued this morning. BY
these terms the land redemption tax,
payments from January IA, 1906, will
be reduced by one-half, and from Jan.
IA, 1907, the payments will be totally
abolished. AT the same time the capi-
tai of the Peasants bank is increased
and the bank is granted an additional
loan privileges with the object of ia
cilitating to the utmost the purchase of
lands by peasants.
1t is estimated that the amount of
taxation thus lifted from the peasants
by the manifesto will aggregate $40,-

of operations of the Peasants bank will
enable vast tracts of crown and private

The witness said he and Mr. Harri-
man were personal friends, but that
they had no business relations. He
wrote a letter in behalf of Mr.. Hyde's
candidacy for the post of ambassador
to France. This was at the request of
VIM. H. Mcintyre one of the vice pres
idents of the Equitable Assurance So
ciety. Mr.. Odell said he had never
solicited political contributions, but
possibly some monies might have come
to him through the national committee
or Senator T. c. Platt, as the latter had
always gathered together the funds
raised in New York state except in the
last year
Senator Depew was examined with
respect to his syndicate participation
and his duties as counsel to the Equit-
able society. Regarding the ambassa-
dorship TO Paris, Senator Depew said
Mr.. Hyde came to him and solicited

| Senator Depew brought the matter to
the attention of the president, although
he told Mr.. Hyde that he was too young
and the president said it was utterly

The senator advocated in the inter
ests of the public as limiting of risks
under insurance policies, and favored a
public audit of the accounts of COM
panies at stated periods by char =

would obviate many suits that are now
