Appeal Quashed by Death.
PoLECAT SKINS ON THE SIDE.
Obnoxious Avocation Of a Rural Mail
Carrier in Ohio

A man cannot sell polecat skins and de-
liver the United States mail from the same
wagon at the same time without getting IN
trouble with the Post Office Department.
This was established today when Mr.. De
Graw, the fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral. received a complaint from a farmer
living at Little Hooking, Washington coun-
ty, Ohio, who declares that the rural free
delivery carrier who brings his letters and
newspapers dispose of polecat skins as
a side line. The complainant further says
that his letters and newspapers eXude a
very dIsagreeable odor a result OF this
contact with the skins. and that he thinks
the department should make the carrier
cut out the side line or resign from the
government service.
The rules of the department allow a ru-
raj carrier to carry on other business, pro-
vided IL does not interfere with his mall
deliveries, and Mr.. De Graw Is trying to
figure out whether this Is sufficient in
reference"

TOLD A PATHETIC STORY.
Prince Min Complains Of Japan's Treat
ment Of Korea.

Prince Min. the Korean minister to
France, who has been In Washington for
several days past. called by appointment at
the State Department today and had a
conference with Secretary Root. lasting
nearly half an hour He told a pathetic
story Of the treatment OF Korea by the
japanese officials. who have assumed d.
rection OF affairs In the country to q large
extent. and while he made no direct re-
quest. his mission being in fact informal
as he explained, the prince made 1t evil
dent that his emperor would keenly appre-
ciate a continuance OF official recognition
by the United States Of Korean entity He
seemed to find some satisfaction in the ex-
PLANTATION which was given him that the
United States government had not termi-
mated diplomatic relations with Korea,
though 1t is true these relations are here
after to be conducted through Japan
It Is not probable that there viii be any
other outcome to this mission and the
prince expects to return soon to France.

resentatives Of the Two
Countries.

The State Department has received q
cablegram from Mr.. Richardson. U, s..
charge of embassy at Rio de Janeiro, Bra
I'll. relative to the incident at Itajahy.
Brazil. IN which Mr. Richardson, who ap-
pears to have little knowledge OF the de-
tails Of the affair. refers to 1t as a mistake
which will soon be rectif1ed.
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, the German
ambassador, called at the State Department
today to discuss some Samoan affairs with
Secretary Root. and also the seizure of the
German Steinhon by officers of the Pan
Their. Tn ambassador has had absolutely
no communication from his own govern
ment on the latter subject.
View at the Embassy.
1t was stated at the German embassy that
although under those circumstances no
opinion could be expressed on the case, it
was felt that, in view of the highly cordial
relations which exist between the govern
ments of Germany and Brazil. the matter
will be settled peaceably within a very
short time If the German naval officers
have really committed a breach Of inter-
national law, II was declared, they will be
punished without doubt, and the proper
amends made. But 1t was regarded as
highly improbable that this unfortunate in

ing between the two countries, especially
as the present minister of foreign affairs,
Baron de Rio Branco, who was formerly
Brazil's representative In Berlin, is highly
esteemed by the German emperor and has
in his political course always favored the
promotion of good feeling between the
two countries.
The matter is now In the hands Of the
diplomatic representatives OF the two coun-
tries, and the Brazilian embassy here has
received no additional information.
Regarded in Diplomatic Circles.
In diplomatic circles generally the trouble
Is regarded as one OF those unfortunate
events which happen sometimes, but not tho
slightest Importance is attached to the ru-
mors which declare that there is great
danger of a. hostile outbreak between the
two countries.
It Is generally believed that mutual ex-
plantations Of the facts will be made and
the prisoner released, and the matter will
end there. Although the deserters of the
German army have given considerable
amount of trouble to several countries and
their status for many years was point OF
dispute between the United States and Ger
many. there are no cases in international
law bearing upon just such a question as
this. all countries having been most careful
to prevent such an ENHANCEMENT.

 Milligan it seems, according to the story of Mir.

They proceeded to put as much distance between them and the post as possible before dark ness came on, but they only got out about eight miles from the :-sst when 1t became too dark to travel in the forest. and being wearied by the forced march they decided to rest un- til daylight
 The prisoners were soon asleep, one of them having the sentry's gun un- der his head. Milligan, however, only pretended to be asleep and dur

Attorneys Cass and Richardson. of Douglas, and several others inter- ested with the original owners of the Lucky Tigre. spent all of yesterday and until 12:10 this morning in front of the Miners & Merchants bank wait ing for a payment of $4S,O00 due them on the property. The payment, time limit on which expired at midnight, did not come.
 At 12:10 MT. Graham stepped up to Billy Robinson. outside the Antlers. and asked him the time. Mir. Robin son drew his watch and told him. whereupon Mr. Graham called on him Ito remember the incident. as he might later be wanted to testify as to 1t in court.
 With a portion of his party Mir. Graham then went to the Copper Queen Hotel and to the Postal Tele- graph office. After finishing mis- sions at each the gentlemen proceeded to join the balance of the party at the E. P. & s. w. depot, where a special train train was in waiting to go 10 Douglas. From there this morning a special train will take the party. with some additions. on a trip to the Lucky Tiger. The object of this trip is to regain possesson of the ground in the names of the original owners. the company in possession having. it is as serted. defaulted in it's payments
 In regaining possession it was said by one member of the party. who left here heavily armed. that it was ex- pected resistance would be met with. From Douglas last night word was re- ceived tha. a picked body of five men had been engaged to go to the mine this morning with those coming from Bisbee. and that arrangements had been mnde for the taking of arms across the line. When Mir Graham was told of the latter report he refused
Bisbee daily review., 1905-07-07

to either deny or confirm. pursuing the same policy when asked if it was true that a special train had been chartered to leave Bisbee after mid night Other members of the party were equally secretive as 10 inten- tiOns.
 The Review is able to state on the best Of authority that the purpose of the Lucky Tiger ground owners is to regain possession just as speedily as transportation facilities will permit them and their representative to reach the ground. It can also be stated that in anticipation of the fail- ure Of the company to make the pay ment of S4S.o00 due yesterday. Mir. Graham and Mir. Suits arranged for the organization of a new company, into the hands of which the property involved will be put as soon as it is taken from the company in the names of Mr. Suits and Mir. Graham through their legal representatives
 Both sides to the controversy rerus- ed last night to talk of the details of inc situation. All that is known or tbe causes underlying the immediate trouble is tRat there has lately been disaffection in the board of directors of the Lucky Tigre company and also disaffectiOn between the directors and the stockholders. AIr Graham has been practically out of the company as a stockholder for some time. Sever al days ago the money for the pay ment of S4S.00O was sent from Kansas City headquarters to the Miners & Merchants bank. Shortly after it's re- ceipt a telegram was received stop ping payment. This telegram was not revoked. The outcome. as now indicated. promises little else than much litigation and trouble. Beside the S4S.000 payment due yesterday payments aggregating over $240.0O0 are yet due to the original owners of the ground.
