Mrs. Emma Winstanley, wife of Ches-

PUT PRESIDENT IN PERIL.
Letter TO Paterson N. j., Police Indi-
Gated Plot to Blow Up Train.

Letter to Paterson N. j., Police 1ndi-
Gated Plot to Blow UP Train.
That Erie railroad officials were alarm
ed for the safety of President Roosevelt
on his way from Chautauqua to Jersey
Clty on Saturday is shown by the fact
that the Presidents car did not go in
to New York over the main line. In
stead, the Chautauqua special was brok-
en- in two at Suffern, n. Y, and the pres
idential party was brought in by round
about way over two small branch roads.
President Roosevelt is said to have OBJ
Jected to the unusual precautions taken,
but acquiesced when positive orders from
President Underwood of the Erie were
shown him. These orders were issued as
result of a letter received by the Pat
erson police, which said there was plot
to blow up the Presidents train near
Ridgewood, n. j. The Chautauqua spe-
clal was stopped at Suffern early Satur-
day morning. There was a talk over the
telephone, followed by a consultation OF
railroad men, at which it was decided
to send the, President to Sparkill,
small town on the Hudson, three miles
below Nyack, by a little single-track
road, known as the Plermont branch,
and thence into Jersey City on the North
ern railroad. a branch having its ter
minus in Nyack.

Chicago the Chicago d district are
summarized nv the week.

~ review issued by r. G. Dun a. Co.
as follows:
Ofhcial crop estimates exceeding
those of the banner year 1902, to-
gether with weather conditions which
nave advanced corn growth, gave an
excellent tone to commercial affairs
and business generally was heavy, the
prevailing tendency being better.
Iraffic movement, both by rail and
lake, reached a greater tonnage, and
more pressure for additional cars to
move crops is felt by Western roads.
The quantity of grain handled rose to
lo,40o,o45 bushels, against 9,523.7t5
bushels last week, and S,343.317 BUSH
els a year ago. Other farm and dairy
products We're literally marketed.
Commitments in iron and steel rep
resent a fair tonnage. although 1e-
mand has ceased slightly in rails and
furnace product. The capacity in this
district, however, is fully employed.
and there is hesitancy in undertaking
orders for structural shapes involving
delivery before 1906.

CURelNG CORRUPTION.

Connecticut Has a New Political Re-
form Law of Sweeping Power.
The Connecticut State Legislature
which has just adjourned has placed
upon the statute books one of the most
sweeping political reform bills in the
history of any American commonwealth.
The new corrupt practices act, as it is
called will have an immense influence
on future political conditions in Connec-
ticut. Hereafter any successful candi-
date for office who is found guilty of cor
rupt practices is to forfeit his seat to his
defeated rival. Any citizen who has
proof that an election has been secured
by fraud can take his information to a
States Attorney, who is then to ask
a Superior Court judge for a hearing.
"If,'' says the law, ''such judge shall be
of the opinion that the interest of public
justice requires such proceeding" he is
to notify the chief justice of the Supreme
Court, who shall then name a second
Judge to preside with the first on the
case, the trial to be without jury. In
case the defendant candidate is found to
be guilty he shall then forfeit his Office
to his defeated rival, and be ineligible for
any office for four years afterward."
In case a State officer, executive or
legislative, is found guilty the court can
only decide as to the facts of the trial,
and is then to put the case before the
Governor, who has power to declare the
place vacant. In case a national officer
is found guilty, such as a United States
Senator, the court is to send its finding
to the Governor, who is then to place it
before the judiciary committee of Con-
gress. In this way there can be no dis
pute as to the method of furnishing of
tenders who would otherwise be protect
ed by the constitution. In case it is
found by the court that a trial has
been asked out of spite and without
sufficient evidence to convict, the court
is to have the power to quadruple the
costs of the trial, which will have the
effect of eliminating many possible unfair
attacks on successful candidates.

CHARGED WITH LooTING CARS.
Nine Lake Shore Trainmen, Many of
Them Conductors, Arrested.

Charged with Systematically robbing
Lake Shore freight ears for the last five
years of merchandise amounting in value
to tens of thousands of dollars, nine OF

were arrested in Nottingham, near Cleve-
land. All are trainmen, many of them
conductors. Other arrests will be made

at the least When the news became
known more than a dozen other employees
suddenly made pleas of sickness that
they might go to their homes TO carry
away, it is said, plumber hidden there.
Numerous rObberies have been commit
ted for years, and the Lake Shore de-
tectives and officials have attributed them
to the Lake Shore gang composed of pro-
fessional thieves Women are said to
have aided the men. The plumber for the
most part had been sold to peddlers. The
detectives found much stolen property
in the homes of the men arrested.

ALARMED FOR LA TOILETTE.
Wisconsin Officials Will Try to Arrest
Men for Meuacing His Life.

Madison, Wis, officials were startled
the other day by the report of the find
ing of an Internal machine intended for
Gov. La Toilette. Although there seems
no clew to work from, the police will
make an effort to fathom the mystery
and ascertain who fashioned the machine,
Grin Steinhoff, farmer, who lives near
Muskegon, Mich, found the internal ma
chine and exploded it. The death-dealing
affair consisted of a pipe foot long
filed with guncotton and having a fuse
attached. 1t was packed in a pine box
that drifted on the beach near Silver
Lake, Mich. When it was exploded a
great hole was torn in the ground. The
pine box bore a label addressed to Gov.
La Toilette.

Three Disputed Points.

~ Sakhalin Island.
(2) Indemnity.
81 Limitation of Russian sea power
in the Pacific.
These points are refused by The Rus
slams. Japan holds SakhaIin Island.
Russia will buy it back at big price.
Russia will pay no direct indemnity,
but will give enough for the island to
permit Japan to regard it as an indem-
nifty. These two things will solve the
difficulty.
1t is said Russia will never consent
to limit her sea power in the Pacific.
Such a thing would be humiliating.
Japan will hardly insist on this, for
Togo has already limited Russias sea
power by his guns, and Russia cannot
recover it under twenty years.
When it was suggested tnat in ex-
change for other great concessions by
the Car the Mikado would consent to
forego the requirement of "humiliating
reimbursement" the unofficial state
ment was given out at Toxic that the
payment by Russia of an immense in
demnity to Japan will not be waived
under any circumstances.
Russia's chief plenipotentiary at the
peace conference has shown himself
to be a great man by the great things
which he has accomplished as the
Cars minister of finance and in other
ways. His greatness is attested by
his imperial master, who has sent him
to the United States with plenary pow
ers to treat for peace with Japan. At
Portsmouth he has had the good sense
to discern that publicity will help his
cause and he protests against the
Japanese ENJOYS insistence upon nego-
tiating in secret. 1t is apparent that
the views of Russia's envoy on certain
features of the negotiations are to be
made known to the world very fully
as the discussion of peace terms pro-
ceeds For the clever White intends
to make the most Of his contentious
that what Japan is now doing is of
enormous Importance TO Great Brit
ain, the United States and other ma
tons as we'll as to Russia.
Japan asks that Russia concede ia
pans preponderating influence in
Korea Witte says to Komura: every
good. Russia is willing. But be frank.
Say what you mean. Admit that ia
pan intends to make Korea japanese,
to absorb it wholly" Komura protests
that this is a dreadful overstatement
of the beneficent designs of Japan,
whereupon White smiles and winks
knowingly at Uncle Sam and John
Bull. He sees that those two worthless
already are getting interested in re-
marks of this kind.
Witte is doing his best. By making
large concessions in regard to Korea,
for example he hopes to white down
Japan's demands in other quarters
Furthermore, he is trying to impress
the world at large with the value and
significance of each item in the Jap
anese program. He hopes that before |
they get to such matters as war ex-
penses and the cession Of Russian te1-
ritory Japan will be almost ready to |
drop off surfeited or will be choked off |
by pressure from Great Britain and
the United States.
