RUSSIANS AND JAPS CLASP HANDS

Oyster Bay Saturday was a great
day in Oyster Bay Russians and Jap
anese clasped hands and greeted one
another with all outward evidences of
cordially and for the first time since
nations began to have relations one
with another, an executive of a great
power received the ENJOYS of two bel
ligerent countries on mission of
peace
President Roosevelt, on behalf of
the United States and its people, ex-
tended formal greetings to the repre-
sentatives of Russia and Japan, intro
duced the plenipotentiaries to one an
other and entertained them at an elab-
crate luncheon, al which Russians and
Japanese fraternized with one another

as comrades rather than as enemies
During the luncheon President
Roosevelt proposed a notable toast, in
which he expressed the earliest hope
and prayer in the interest not only of
these two great powers, but of all civ
ilized mankind, that just and lasting
peace may speedily be concluded be-
tween them"
The occasion was impressive. It
was attended not only by pomp and
ceremony, but by a simplicity and
frankness characteristic of the presi-
dent and people of America.
Due honor was paid the distin-
guished guests of the president and
of the country, and they received all
dignity to which their exalted rank
entitled them.

DUG UP CORPSE AND SAVED A LIFE

The case is one of the most sensa.
tional that has ever occurred in Mon
tana, and only the daring of Howell's
attorney, w. f. Cort, now of Los An
geles, saved him from the scaffold. At
the trial the state showed by num-
Der of witnesses that Rolling was
shot from behind, and it was wholly
upon this showing that the verdict of
first degree murder was returned.
Howell was sentenced in 1900 to be
hanged, and later Attorney Cort went
alone to the place where Rozling's
body was inferred, dug it up. took the
head to Helena and showed the gov
ernor that the deceased was not shot
from behind. Upon this the executive
committed the sentence to life inn
prisonment and the effort to obtain
further clemency has been making
ever since. The petition is one of the
largest ever secured in Montana in a
case of this kind.

New swede Ministry.

Stockholm, Sweden.-A coalition
ministry was formed on Wednesday.
In the new cabinet the liberals are
well represented and the ministry can
be depended upon to seek peaceful
solution of the difficulties between
Sweden and Norway. The new pre-
mier, Herr Lundeberg, is one of the
pillars of the conservative majority in
the upper house. He was largely re-
sponsible for the conditions framed
by the special committee of the riks4

and King Oscar selected him for the
premiership as he considered it desir-
able that the same influence which
dominated the work of the committee
should prevail during the negotiations

a national strike against the Ameri-

be called more than $4,000 men will
