THE COTTON SCANDAL
Will Be Probed to the Bottom

Will Be Probed to the Bottom -
Once.
President Roosevelt has determin-
ed that the scandal growing out of
the cotton report leaks n-the depart
ment of agriculture shaiisbe probed to
the bottom. He holds that the man
or men responsible for the leaks are
in greater degree culpable than they
would have been had they stolen the
money outright from the government.
He proposes that Assistant Statistf-
clan Holmes, against whom serious al
legations are made, shall be punished
If it shall be found possible to secure
his arrest and conviction under pres
ent laws.
The president has followed the work
of investigation conducted by Secre-
tary Wilson with keen interest. The
general results have been reported to
him, together with such recommends
tons as Secretary Wilson had to
make.
The president took prompt and de-
cisive action. He referred the matter
to the department of justice, with in
structions that 1t should be given inn
mediate and careful attention. In ac-
cordance with that order Solicitor
General Hoyt is now making a thor
ough inquiry into the case.

SANG IN HOUR OF DOOM.
Men of Japanese Cruiser Went Down
to Death With Mined Vessel.

to Death With Mined Vessel.
The story of the loss of the Japanese
cruiser Takasago in December last,
only published since the destruction
of Rojestvensky's feet, is a military
classic.
After the Takasago struck a mine
and. began to sink, the crew assembled
in perfect order on the upper deck,
there to await the battle with stormy
sea and death. Captain Ishibashi or
dered every man to use a life belt.
and directed that no one jump over
board until the ship actually sank. The
crew then joined in singing the ma
tional anthem, cheering the emperor,
and lastly they sang Gallant Sailors, 4"
their voices ringing out above the
storm.
After that, as a relaxation, the men
were allowed to smoke, and thus they
went calmly to their deaths. OF 500
men who went down with the Takas-
ago only 1873 were rescued.

Boiler Explosion.

Port Angeles, Wash, July Is -
Word has been received here that the
United States lightship No.67 was be-
ing towed up the straits in a helpless
condition with several mangled cOrpses
and several scalded men aboard, the re-
suit of a boiler explosion. She was
taken from her anchorage off Flattery
rocks by the steamer Tricolor, inward
bound from San Francisco to Nanaimo
and thorugh TO Neah bay, where sh
was turned over TO the tug Pioneer,
which is now coming up the straits
with the disabled vessel as fast as
steam can bring her. 1t is surmised
that as she was to be released Monday
on account of necessary repairs the extra
steam pressure for travel had some
thing to DO with the accident.

Passion Play.

Last Friday night DR.. G. r. Mente
entertained a crowded house with his
lecture and stereoptican views Of the
"Passion Play The first scene at
the opening was that of the American
flag and eagle, a battle and prominent
men, who made America grand
nation. These scenes were shown while
all present sang that soul thrilling
song: my Country 'Tis of Thee. "
We have not the space to give
anything like affair description of this
wonderful scenery, and had we the
whole face of the world to describe it
on, we confess our inability to per-
form the task. TO describe our feel
ings as the different scenes appeared
would be as numerous and changable
as bits of glass in kaleidoscope.
One minute we were all sympathy,
the next the embodiment of hatred.
The whole, in our way of expressing
it, was an hour or so in a moment OF
sorrow then one of happiness, the
next of sympathy and the next OF
hatred, and continuing this way
through the entire evening, ending
with feeling of regret when the last
scene was placed on the canvass.
We do not know of any time in our
life that we ever before realized the
great debt we owe our Master, the
Lord Jesus Christ. for his untold
suffering in the cause of saving man.
kind. 1t was so plain to us and an
explanation of the pictures was alto
gether unnecessary. The Dr's lecture
was all that one could wish for. His
explanations of each scene were made
in eloquent language and an impress
sive manner, leaving upon our minds
lesson learned that we will not soon
forget.
We consider the entertainment the
best produced in Welsh in the past
two years, and we would only be toe
glad to embrace the opportunity ca
attending the same entertainment sc

good fruit by giving his members "a
