London, Aug. IA strange story of
impersonation, with a tragic sequel,
has just been unfolded in the law
courts of Rome. Count Adriance Ben
iculli. an eccentric nobleman, charges
his valet, Antonoro PaolO, with having
caused the death of Countess Benz
culli. Taking advantage of the extra
ordinary resemblance between him
self and the valet, the count employed
his valet to impersonate him at vari-
Gus social functions in Rome and else
where, while he himself devoted his
time to his hobby of collecting and re-
pairing ancient locks.
Paolo, provided with money and
good clothes, moved in the best soci-
ETY. and was everywhere received as
the count. Meeting the Countess Ben
iculli at ball the valet paid her as
siduous attention. The countess was
pleased, but greatly surprised, as her
husband, for whom she mistook Paolo.

CHINESE GOT ENOUGH.
Shanghai Merchants Would Willingly
Quell Agitation.

Consul General Rodgers, at Shang-
hal, cables the state department that
the Chinese chamber of commerce at
that place deprecates the continuance
Of the boycott in China against Amer
lean goods, which, the merchants say,
is attributable in large part to the stu
dents. Business is being seriously af'
fected. THIS dispatch is regarded here
as very significant. The boycott was
first instituted at Shanghai, and, sim
gularly enough, by the chamber OF
commerce which is now so anxious to
terminate it. According to reports to
the state department the agitation ex.
tended as far south as the Straits Set
Elements, where the important bust.
ness is largely controlled by the Chi
nese merchants. Consul General Will
bur stated that the Shanghai boycott
as proclaimed by the chamber of COM
merce has been adopted by the cham
Der at Singapore.
From Mr.. Rodgers report it is in
ferred that the merchants who started
the boycott have found they suffered
heavy losses in trade and are DESTROYS
of removing it. The department has
been also informed that Minister
Rockhill has secured the aid OF the
Chinese government in stopping the
anti American movement.

Delivers a Sermon Sunday Afternoon
at Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 7.-President
Roosevelt, late Sunday afternoon, de-
livered a lay sermon to the Christian
Brotherhood of Oyster Bay. He en-
phasized especially the necessity Of
sound character building, holding that
high moral character was the real es-
sence of Christian life. The organiZa-
ton before which the president spoke
is a non-sectarian body. composed
principally of the male members Of
the several local churches.
The meeting was held in the Sun
day school room of the Methodist
Episcopal church. Several weeks ago
an invitation was extended to the
president to address the Christian
Brotherhood and he promised to &C
cept the invitation at some later time.
He notified the committee Saturday
night that he would make the prom
ised address Sunday, STIMULATING that
no previous announcement should be
made Of his intention to speak.
About 200 persons attended the
meeting this afternoon. Nearly all OF
them were surprised when President
Roosevelt appeared on the floor. The
president carried his Bible and in be-
ginning his address read selections
from the sixth chapter of Matthew, the
Epistle to the Corinthians and the
Epistle to James.

School Land Law Suit.

State Land Commissioner E. w.
Ross is a party to bitterly COM
tested case now pending in the SUI
prere court of this state which in
wolves an exceedingly important if
not to say interesting question con-
corning the state school lands. For
five year lease upon a piece of school
land upon which no lease has yet been
signed or issued the state land COM
missioner has two bids-one for $500,
a price agreed upon with the commits
sioner, and the other for $4,000, put
in before the deal had been closed up.
He insists upon accepting the smaller
bid, and has been temporarily en-
joined. The defense which the COM
missioner presents to the supreme
court, is that the matter is one solely
between the state and the chosen bid
der, and that the larger bidder has no
legal rights in the matter and that
the acceptance of the one bid over an
other is entirely optional with the COM
ulSSlOuCI. uC LARGEST UluUtl AIoAA
tains that he has a right to interpose,
and that the discretion which the COM
missioner has must be exercised by
the same rules as would guide a man
in the management of his own busi-
ness, or such as would be required OF
a trustee or receiver by a court in the
administration of the affairs of any
other trust estate. Of course, II the
commissioner is right and he has
right to thus let the school lands III
private and without competition, II
could result in an immense loss an
nually to the school fund. In this one
case alone it amounts to over nVe
thousand dollars. Hon. E. B. Palmer
state senator and chairman OF the re-
publican state central committee, man
aged the case before the commissioner
and argued the case in the supreme
court for the $500 bidder; Mr.. E. Y.
Hughes of Seattle, and Hon. Thos NJ
Vance, ex-assistant attorney genera,
argued the case in the supreme court
for the opposite side.

PRESIDENT WAS PROMPT.
New Orleans Citizens Appreciate Or
ders on Yellow Fever Situation.

The announcement that President
Roosevelt had acted with Characters
tic prOmptness on request of Governor
Blanchard to have the marine hospital
service take charge of the yellow fever
situation at New Orleans created
great satisfaction, though in some sec
tons there is some disappointment at
the confession of the states inability
to handle the situation. Opinion gen.
orally is, however, that confidence out
side of Louisiana was so completely
lacking in the local health authorities
that unless the interpOsitiOn of the
government was asked there could be
no expectation of relaxation of Sc
we're quarantine until the coming of
frost. Moreover, it is believed the
powers, discipline, efficiency and re-
sources of the government are neces-
sary to handle the fever itself, which
is still strongly intrenched in the
down town section of the city.

SITUATION STRIKE
TELEGRAPHERS and RAILROADS
BOTH CLAIM VICTORY.
Road Officials Claim That Strike Is
Practically at an End-President of
Union States the Situation Is More
Encouraging for His Men Than at
Any Previous Time.

st. Paul, Aug. There continues
to be wide variance between the Of
fetal statements given out by the con-
tending sides in the strike of the Or
der of Railway Telegraphers against
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern roads. Officials Of the roads claim
that the strike is practically at an end,
and that II hours more will see it's
finish; that strikers are applying for
their old positions and that new men
are being constantly employed; that
regular trains are on schedule time,
and freight is being moved promptly.
On the other hand President H. B.
Perham said to the Associated Press
that the situation as reported to him
is more encouraging to the operators
than it has Deen at any stage of the
strike, and that he is confident of vic
tory. He admitted the companies were
sending strike breakers west,> but not
in such large numbers as the COM
panies claimed. The men, he averred,
were being hired under false pretenses
and that as soon as they became cog
infant of the true state of affairs, the
majority of them would quit work
and join the strikers.
Yarus Blocked.
Mr.. Perham exhibited reports from
various chairmen on the western d.
visions showing that perishable
freight was being refused, and in many
cases the yards were blocked and lit
tie or no freight was being moved.
One report stated that the Aneta
line of the Great Northern in North
Dakota, was locked up and that only
one freight train had been run since
the strike began. Only one night Of
fee was said to be open between Mi
not and Williston, N. D., on the Great
Northern.
Later Report.
st. Paul, Aug {. -Persistent rumors
rae current that a move had been in
augurated by the Northwestern Far.
mers' Exchange and mercantile as
sooiations along the line Of the Great
Northern and Northen Pacific to secure
arbitration OF the telegrapkers' strike.
So far as could be ascertained, no off,
cial action in this direction has yet
been taken. President Perham of the
telegraphers stated that the matter had
not come before him officially although
he reports that such movement was
on foot.
