of the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse. It also will permite M. 1Vitte tC get the views of French finai4ciers in case the indemnity question llter requires a re course to the French market.
 Officials here say that M. Witte's se- lection as peace plenipotentiary is chiefly significant because he always maintained that Manchuria was field for Russian commercial development, but not a field for political expansion Therefore they fOresee that he will seek to save Russia's commercial rath- CT than her political status in the far east.
 The new commercial treaty between France and Russia is designed to meet Germany's efforts to secure a better access to the markets of Russia. Ger many denounced her commercial trea- ty with Russia at the same time she denounced that with the United States. This was followed by negotiations for the new Russo-German treaty, under which Germany gets notable alvan- tages. France, therefore, will send a delegation of leading officials to St. Petersburg to cooperate with M. Bompard. the French ambassador, in securing a treaty which will give French products rates and facilities
 
 Competition between these two coun- tries for the Russian trade is ex- tremeIy keen and the immense pur- chases of war supplies by Russia have given added importance 10 it. The shah of Persia arrived here this afternoon with an imposing party, in- cluding several of his sons and their instructors. The shah was received with military hoaors and escorted to his hotel, after which official visits were exchanged. The party will re- main here several days seeing the 1 sights and later will attend the naud- 1 cal festival at Havre.
 The American government has re- uuested the French authorities to de- tain Stefano Boracini who arrived al Havre on the steamship La Lorraine The charge on which he is held is not announced.

THE COTTON LEAK CASE
The President Takes up the Matter
 With His Usual VisOr.

Oyster Bay, July 15.-President Roosevelt has determined that the scandal growing out of the cotton re- port leaks in the department of agri- culture shall be prObed to the bottom. He holds that the man or men respon- sible for the leaks are even in a great CT degree culpable than they would have been had they stolen the money outright from the government. He proposes that Assistant Statistician Holmes, against whom serious allega- tions are made, shall be punished if it shall be found possible to secure his arrest and conviction under the pres ent laws.
 The president has followed the work of the investigation conducted by Sec retary Wilson with keen interest. The general results have been presented to him together with such recOmmenda- tions as Secretary Wilson had to make. The president took prompt and decisive action. He referred the mat ter to the department of justice, with instructions that it should be given immediate and careful attention. In accordance with that order Solicitor General Hoyt is now making tho rough inquiry into the case.
 To reinforce his formal order Pres 1dent Roosevelt wrote the tOllOWluS pointed letter to Attorney General Moody:
 My Dear MT. Moody:
 q earnestly hope that every effort will be made to bring Holmes to jus tice in connection with the cotton re- port scandal. Please go over the pa pers yourself. The man is, in my judgment, a far greater scoundrel than if he had stolen the money from the government, as he used the govern ment to deceive outsiders and to make money for himself and for oth- CTS. Sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT.'
 In response to the presidents letter Attorney General Moody replied:
 Dear MT. President: I have re- ceived your letter of July F, and note with care the anxiety you express that Holmes, the offending official in the cotton case, be brought to justice if possible. I have kept, through cores pondence with the solicitor general, in close touch with this investigation. It shall receive my most earnest per sonal consideration. 1 will not now express an opinion, as I think it bet ter to await the result of some in- department of justice. It the first reasonable moment I will Commun- icate to you the progress we have made and the prospect of an indict- Iment"

 On Every Point
NOW FOR THE APPEAL

Sen ator Mitchell was no. present in court. Judge DeHaven announced that he had been too busy to prepare a written re- ply to the motion, and gave a verbal decision.
 motion for an arrest of Judgment was the first point taken up. Judge DeHaven announced that he had care fully considered the opinion of the late Judge Bellinger and while he believed
 that the court had the jurisdiction to set aside the opinion in relation to the plea in abatement, he did not feel jus tified in taking such action and there fore OverrUled the motion to arrest judgment Judge DeHaven held that he did not consider himself in error in giving his instructions to the jury nor in the admission of legal testimony.
 In regard to the sixth count in the indictment concerning which it was conceded by the government that nc evidence had been submitted to justify the jury in returning a verdict of guilty, the court referred to a prece- dent which sustained the jury. As tc
 the claim of the defense that District Attorney Heney's explanation that ar 1 indictment which had been returned | for subornation of perjury had pre- | judiced Mitchelrs case with the jury | Judge DeHaven held that ihs instruc- i tions to the jury to take no cognizanct | of the statement had been sufficient 1 The motion for new trial was over | ruled at every point.
 Apparently Judge DeHaven was on
 the point of pronOuncing sentence or l the defendant when Senator Thurstor | for the defense requested time il
 which to prepare and submit a bil ] of exceptions and writ of errors. This
 he assured the court, he would have
 ready for submission to the distric | attorney early next week.

Paris. July 15.-The amnesty pro- claimed by President Loubet Friday, which permits the return of Paul De- roulede and others condemned to exile for sedition b&- the high court, has awakened somewhat of a seriO-cOmic agitation in which the whole country is interested. DerouIede and his com in the form of pardon. claiming that IL placed them in the came category as pardoned criminals and Deroulede has informed his friends of his inten- tion to go to Austria until his coun- try's peril urgently requires his pres ence here.
 Deroulede is sort of a Boulanger and has a large and popular following which seriously believes that he soon- CT or later will rescue France from her present condition. Therefore his pronunciamento haughtily refusing to return until the Opportune moment ar rives attracts widespread attention. Deroulede puts forth a program call culated to win the public. his main policy being resistance to the en- croachments of Germany and a con- OeIln2IlOn or the governments course in permitting Germany to force the re- tirement of Foreign Minister DeIcasse.
 Count De Lur Saluces and Andre Buffet, fellow exiles with Deroulede, have returned to Paris. Each, how ever, maintains the opera bOuffe aspect by addressing to President Loubet ali insulting telegram disdaining pardon and saying that they returned in spite of executive clemency. The govern ment thus far has Ignored the tactics of the former eXiles, apparently not con- sidering seriously their popular ap- peals or their intimations that they will arouse a new agitation against the existing regime.

FARFADFT GHASTLY GREW
The Final Raising Of the French
 Submarine.

Bizerta, Tunis. July 15.-The sub marine boat Farfadet which sank at the entrance of the Port of Sidi Ab- dallah. July 6. was towed into the dry dock today after ten days of incessant effort to raise her. The salvage Op- eratiOns which were conducted by Admiral Aubert assisted by 25O sail ors and a large staff of engineers, have been attended throughout with a long series of mishaps. The second day after the accident when the mem bers of the crew of the Farfadet were yet alive, the submarine was brought to the surface and the rescue of the men was thought to be a matter of a few minutes, but the cables snapped and the submarine sank again.
 Five successive efforts to raise the vessel likewise proved unsuccessful Today, however, under the supervision of Admirals FOurnier and Aubert, the Farfadet was raised and lowed into the Stdi Abadellah arsenal. The hull of the submarine was covered with slime, but was Undamaged.
 When the door of the Farfadet was opened there was a rush of nauseous gases from the decomposing bodies of the fourteen men who had perished in her, and great emotion prevailed among the naval officers and the men who had assisted in raising the yes sel. Powerful deodorants were imme- diately introduced into the vessel and the ventilatOrs were started.
 An inspection shows that her crew employed every imaginable device in their attempts to escape. The au- thOrities have decided to allow a com plete disinfection Of the submarine before taking out the bodies

The recent change in front Of Pres
ident Roosevelt in regard to a change
in the civil service rules meets with
our entire appreciation. There are too
many hangers-on down there at Wash
ington who are absolutely no good to
the departments where they draw their
pay and are an absolute detriment to
the heads of departments who have
had no in the past. These
employees have been so hedged about
by the civil service rules that it had
become an impossibility to get rid of
this kind of trash and deserving peo-
pie have been at a great disadvantage,
the heads of departments have been
placed in the same position and no
matter how ambitious they might be
to make a showing they have been
badly handicapped because there was
no way to rid themselves of these
leeches. Now an employee must be up
and coming just like ordinary every
day people Oh something is liable to
happen.

Shoot the town or the people who
want something for nothing. Give
me a town and people willing to live
and let live. Who are willing to pay
a fair rent for houses or stores; will
ing to pay a laboring man good wages;
willing to pay clerks fair salaries, will
ing to pay the merchant or dealer a
living percentage on the goods sold,
willing not to see how cheap they can
secure anything and everything.
Such a town, l want to tell you, will
enjoy prosperity and its inhabitants
will have money to spend every day
in the week, and some on Sunday.
This everlastingly laboring to see how
far a dollar will go, works the wrong
way most always. 1t puts a damper
on prosperity, hinders a town from
growing, and blocks the wheels. You
never were in a town where money
was spent freely, but what you saw
the majority of its people possessed of
money, and soon a number OF men
became wealthy. This p%inching a
cent every time one is spent is not
what it is cracked up to be.-Anoka

The only way to build up a town is
for everybody to patronize and stand
by ones home institutions. If you
buy a dollars worth of goods away
from home the percentage of profit
goes to build up those who do not pay
taxes in your town and who have not
the remotest interest in thecommunity.
This applies to the merchant who
deals in groceries and dry goods and
who sends away for his clothing as
we'll astothe privatecitizen who patron
ICES the mail order houses.
