Morton Proud of Middle West.

If any one wishes to arouse Secre-
tary Morton to enthusiasm all he
need do is to say something about the
middle west. People talk about the
riches of the Nile valley" says he.
"Why, it is as nothing compared with
the Mississippi valley, which you
must remember extends from the
Rockies to the Alleghanies. Its re-
sources are billions. and it has only
reached its beginnings. The corn
crop alone of the Mississippi valley Is
worth close to $1,000, 100000 year.
It's the greatest and richest valley on
earth"

Half a regiment of infantry stacked
arms and remained on duty on the
Morskaia, fashionable boulevard of
the city, and at noon troops were
again marched into the palace square,

who protest most earnestly that they
regret the situation compelled such
stern measures. They say order had
to be restored or the city would have
fallen into the hands of the mob.
One of Father Gopon's lieutenants
declared that the leaders of the strik-
ers had resolved to preach the gospel
of armed resistance and the over
carry with it threat of pillage or an
attack on property.
1t is reported that at one of the
meetings in the early hours this morn
ing some of the strike leaders dis
cussed the advisability of sending
delegations to the various embassies
to appeal to the foreign powers for
protection, but no action was taken
at least no Populations had appeared
at any of the embassies up to noon.
The situation continues critical.
The military have the upper hand in
st. Petersburg. and so long as the
troops remain true they can crush
any attempt at resistance in the cap
ital. But the eyes of all are turned
toward the interior for the effect
which the news will produce in the
big centers.

Monarchs Fond of Hunting.

Nearly all the crowned heads of Eu-
rope seem to be great hunters. Not
withstanding his age the Austrian EN-
peror still loves the chase, and King
Edward is as fond of it as Kaiser Will
helm. The king of Portugal is so
good marksman that he has been
called a modern William Tell. The
king of Italy spends much time hunt
ing and the queen is said to be an
even better shot with the revolver
than her spouse. She grew up in
wild, mountainous region and still
loves to roam the forests, gun In hand.
