Muskegon, Mich, Aug. 15.-Orin
Steinhoff. an Oceana county farmer.
yesterday morning found a long, white
box on the beach near Silver Lake.
Painted across the top was this ad-
dress:
Governor LaFollette, Madison, WIS,

Steinhoff pried off the cover and
found, packed in sawdust and gun cot
ton, a lead pipe about a foot long with
holes in both ends stopped by metal
caps. Protruding from one end OF the
pipe was two foot fuse.
Steinhoff lighted brush pile fire and
threw the device in the flames. When

ic explosion occurred and a great hole
was blown In the ground. Pieces or
dirt and stones flew several hundred
feet.
Steinhoff says that if crowd OF

very fact that ultimately the world will
be able to fix the responsibility for the
rupture, that in, the final analysis
the two countries are on trial before
the public opinion of the world, consti-
tutes the main hope Of a successful
outcome of the negotiations.
Article Four AGREED Upon.
Article of the peace conditions has
been agreed upon. While covering
the surrender of the lease Of Lao
tung peninsula and Blonde and Elliott
islands, which are included in ,the
leasehold, "article four" does not touch
Port Arthur and Dalny, which are COW
cred in separate articles. Japan. it is
understood, insists, at least for the
present upon occupation Of these two
points.
Article Three.
Article 3, which was agreed to yes
terday, it developed today, was incor-
rectly stated to be cession of Chinese
eastern railroad. That article comes
later. The third article pertains to
restoration of Chinese administration
in the province of Manchuria and was
a necessary and natural sequence to
article 2, providing for mutual evac-
uation and mutual cognition of Chi
nese territorial integrity and the open
door" policy for which American diplo-
macy has fought.
The mistake was due to the fact
that the railroad question, involved
generally in the question of restoration

The Associated Press Is now able to
state authoritatively from both sides
that the twelve Articles now before

the wording is subject to revision, and
it does not, as accepted, necessarily
establish a final text. The question OF
Russian government and private prop

procity conference in Chicago Thurs
day. The governor wrote consider
able part OF his address Monday. It
will be given to afternoon papers and
will undoubtedly be printed In full by
practically every important daily paper
in the west.
Sooner or later It is felt by Des
Moines business men there will be a
test Of the franchise Of the Des Moines
city railway. It is claimed by many
that the street railway has no fran
cl1ise at all and by many others that 1t
has no franchise on many OF the
streets that it occupies. Every law
suit that has come up against the
street railway company has contested
it's franchise and every one that has
contested its franchise has been set
tied out of court, 1t is claimed, because
the street railway people are afraid to
allow the matter to come to test in
the courts. Recently, however, the
business men who were anxious for
the test have changed their mind and
are first deciding what they will do In
case they are successful in proving In
court that there is no franchise. A
move is now on foot to get the matter
before the public in such shape as to
get the public in favor Of a franchise
favorable to the city in the matter OF
the payment of per cent OF the gross
earnings after which at the first OPP
portunity it is proposed to test the
franchise question in the courts.
