SETTLING PARNELL'S ESTATE
Creditors of Dead Statesman May Be
Paid After Their Long
Wait.

LONDON, Aug 12-(Special Cablegram
to The Bee )--Fourteen years after the
death of Mr.. Charles Stewart Parnel there
is some prospect of his estate being settled
anl his creditors paid, This will be well
come news to the heirs of some Of the
original creditors. Others have died in
penury in the meantime.
The matter came up before Judge Ross
in Dublin this week and the solicitor who
had charge Of the sale of the estate an
nounced that It had all been disposed of
except one nominal farm rent of Is per
year.
Mr Henry Campbell. town clerk OF Dub
lin, and formerly Mr.. Parnells private sec
retary, prayed Judge Ross to do some
thing to expedite the settlement Of the
estate. All of the money, he said. had
been kept in Ireland, and all OF the efforts
of the administrators had been directed
toward proving the claims OF the Irish
creditors, while nothing had been done
about the English claims. No one, how
ever, has been paid in fun.
There was enough money. he said to
pay Mrs Parnell's dover I'm full and all
OF the creditors. Some OF the English
CREDITORS had died in poverty while others
had sold their claims at heavy discount.
He told of one man, a cattle dealer OF
Rathdrum. Ireland, who sold Mr.. Parnell
some cattle few days before his death.
The price $3.50. had never been paid, and
the man had died in poverty, his credit
having been destroyed, while his children
were still waiting for the money. Judge
Ross declared that there should be nc
more delay and ordered that the English
| claims should be at once ascertained Sc
| long drawn have been some affairs that

EIFEL TOWER STOPS WIRELESS
French structure Said TO Interfere
with Messages Between Eng
land and Italy.

PARIS, Aug. l2-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee.)-The Statute of Leberty in New
York harbor is not alone in it's condem-
nation on account of the interruption Of
Marconi wireless messages. Eiffel Tower
here is now being blamed for the stoppage
of messages between Poldhu, Cornwall
and Genoa
Eiffel Tower was not fixed upon until
Mont Blanc had come In for a share OF
severe denunciatons by the operators at
the wireless stations. Then came the re-
port that the huge bronze Statute of Lib
erty at New York had been denounced by
the experts for the interruption of the mes
sages, absorbing the Hertsan waves in
stead of allowing them to pass. EineI
Tower was remembered and experts have
now concluded that It is as great a sinner
in this respect as the Statute of Liberty.

Of the Island of Crete the chamber has
reduced the salaries of the officials and
abolished unnecessary posts and has also

ONE ITALIAN IN MANCHURIA
He is at Present in st. Petersburg
Asking Russia 20 Pay Him
Damages,

MILAN. Aug. 12-(special Cablegram to
The Bee. 1.-THE "Corriere della Sera,' pub
fishes a long and painful story OF the suf-
ferings of an Italian merchant named Fran
cesco Catalano, who was arrested by the
Russian police at Mukden in February last.
From Tien Tsin where he lived Catalano
had gone was his custom to Mukden
with a railway truck load of condensed
milk which he wished to sell. Arrested
as a suspected spy he was Obliged to sell
his goods at naf price, but the police
officials afterwards compelled him to hand
over ali of the money which he had taken.
Catalano asked for permission TO wire to
the Italian consulate at Tien Tsin but this
was refused He was then transferred to
Harbin like a common criminal, and finally
without having undergone any trial he was
added to a train of convicts going to Ir-
kutsk. He lost all of his luggage and ar
rived at lrkutsk, his health gone, the re-
suits of the hardships that he had been
compelled to face
The unfortunate merchant had been una
BILE to obtain either medical attendance
or an interpreter, and all Of his appeals to
the authorities asking for reasons as to the
grounds for his arrest were rejected on the
ground that they ought to have been writ
ten in Russian. Having obtained the
friendly assistance Of a convict Catalano
managed to get the latter to forward a tele-
gram to the Italian ambassador in St. Pc
tersburg relating the whole story. The am
| bassador has just obtained Catalano's re-
! lease, the police having declared that there
| is no charge against him. He is now in
I st. Petersburg where with the support of
the Italian ambassador he is bringing a
suit for heavy damages against the Russian
! government. The ambassador is also de-
manding the punishment Of the officials
! who are alleged to be guilty of this arbi-
| trary and inhuman treatment of perfectly

SUGAR RATE WAR is ENDED
Schedule of a. Cents Between New

Agreed Upon.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The Tribune today
says: The sugar rate war has been ter
minated and peace restored between the
eastern railroads and the gulf lines The
settlement is due to the efforts of the west
ern roads, which were instrumental In
bringing the representatives of the eastern
trunk lines and of the gulf roads together
for the consideration of the differences.
The conference was held at Niagara Falls
last Friday, agents of all the lines inter
ested being present. After thoroughly
considering the situation it was found
that concessions had to be made by both
sides. and finally the following compromise
tariff was agreed upon:

The war rates now in effect are 10 cents
from New Orleans to the Missouri river
and 10 cents from New York. These are the
lowest rates on sugar ever in effect and
far short of paying cost of transportat alton
The new differential in favor of the gulf
is 10 cents per 100 pounds. Heretofore the
gulf roads insisted on differential of Is
cents and the trunk lines were not willing
to allow more than cents

The Republican Legislature of
Colorado decided in favor Of the
Republican contestant for Gov
enor of that State, overturning a
majority of more than 10000
votes in favor of Mr.. Adams.
The contest in Kentucky where
he majority was nearly 5000, a
few years ago waswon by Mr..
Goebel, Democratic contestant,
and he was assassinated. The
Democrats of Colorado. led by
Mr.. Adams, submit to legal rob-
berry without riot or blood-shed.
The Democrats Of the entire
country submitted to a steal Of
the Presidency in 1876 and life
was safe, but Judging from Re,
publican protestations and the
ruthless striking down of VIM.
Goebel for winning his contest,
those not familiar with party re-
cords would believe that he was
the only political sinner that ever
lived and the assassination a
blessing. Democrats Of Colorado
are showing that legal decisions
though bad, are far better than
riot and assassination.

flee to forward the general inter-
est and watch with Jealous care
the counties resources, must be
measured by effort and results.
Since like begets like, we can not
consistently pass the many little
compliments hurled at us in his
writings without speaking of
his magnanimity and shrewd-
ness. There is no doubt in our
mind as to his close watch over
the financial interest of the coun-
ty. After the Court of Appeals
had decided that a County Judge
could not receive pay as Road
Commissioner he only asked and
received $13O for the use Of his
horse and buggy. Heis the only
County Judge in the history of
this county who ever demonstra-
ted such shrewdness and mani
tested such interest in taking
care of the public money collect
ed for making roads. That
guarding interests I! The Judge
poses as the friend of bridges,
but there are those who know his
position in regard to them and
who were thoroughly in touch
with his mastery efforts along
that line. Two bridges have
been built since his induction in
to office, one on the Somerset
road the other on the Stanford,
both within a mile of this town.
He opposed their building, but
managed to get finger in the
pie. The Magistrates elected
Mr.. James Garrett, Jr., Bridge
Commissioner each year. He
was responsible to the Court for
a strict compliance Of the con-
tract on the part of the builders.
He performed his duty and re-
ceived $50 for said services each
year. The County Judge pre-
sented a claim for $50 for his
watchful care in protecting the
county in this work in 1902 and
it was paid. The next year he
likewise claimed $50 for valuable
services and it was paid. The year
1903 seems to have been a good
one. Received from bridge fund
$50, for horse and buggy out Of
road fund, $3.50, for paying out
road fund, $124. Total, 1904. 1t
seems to us that the salary of
County Judge ought to be suffi-
cient to fully compensate without
having to Skirmish on the outside,
but since it does not measure up
to his desires we are convinced
that he knows how to make the
unexpected happen. Buy a
crusher and make roads, that is
our theory.

There was no thought or desire,
on our part, Of having to continue
the discussion of road making
when our first article was writ
ten, but it seems that The News
is held under a powerful focus
and must give a strict account
and defend it's position on every
question in which it takes a part
and which does not appeal to the
Judgment and pander to the am
billions and aspirations Of our
County Judge, the editor of The
Spectator. From our initiatory
effort in newspaper work to the
present, we have tried to deal fair
ly and honestly, both with men
and matters. Our efforts to aid
and encourage enterprise affect
ing this part Of the State, and our
active participation in the moves
that pointed to better conditions
in Columbia and Adair county are
too well-known to be doubted
even under the incesSant fire of a
County Judge, who doubtless
feels the elevating effects of Of
fetal position. From time to time
The News has been the medium
through which we have suggest
ed such changes and such action
as appeared to be for the public
good and no one, save the match
less County Judge, has question
ed our sincerity of purpose. We
advocate the making of roads,
not doing patch work, for that is
the duty of all able-bodied citi-
zens between the ages of Is and
80, and our law provides specifi-
cally for it. All along, before the
days of Judge Murrell's mighty
strokes against mud, the people
kept the roads in as good condi-
ton for general use as they have
been through the winters since
the Machine" was first used.
The way to make good, perma-
nent roads is so plain that argu-
ment is unnecessary, and if a tax
is levied for road purposes we
can not understand why any man
should not favor making roads
that will stand through cur Win
tiers and not disappear under
few heavy loaded wagons. Since
Judge Murrell took the oath Of
office several thousand dollars
have been collected and spent on
the roads. He has had full sway
to use the Machine" and demon
strate it's worth, and yet each
year brings more mud. In de-
tense Of it's use, and cheapness of
operation, he quotes another coun-
ty Judge, who states that it works
to good advantage in Hardin
county and that the average cost
per mile there for grading is
$500. 1t does not come so cheap
in Adair, and has evidently cost
from five to ten times that much.
The Judge knows full well that
we have not opposed the use Of
the grader where the people
would follow it with stone or
gravel. He knows that an agree
ment of this kind was made on
the part of those interested in
making a good road from the
town limits to the creek, and that
the editor of this paper was one
of the active participants in that
work. He undoubtedly remem-
bers that we stated to him that
we did not want the use of the
grader, on that road, until it's
completion with gravel could be
guaranteed, and it was not used
until that was done. His efforts
in his writings to show insinceri-
ty on our part, and to impress the
people that he has made a sacrir
