tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. 1t corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing 1t,

up many times during the night. The
mild and the extraordinary effect Of
Swamp Root in soon realized. 1t stands

of the struggle and felt like leaving all
and fleeing to Darmstadt hence prob
ably the origin of the report that the
emperor was going abroad.
Count Witte, however. told the en-
peror that in his opinion not even re-
public could now save Russia from an
archy. 1t was the emperor's duty to
the people and the country to face the
situation by meeting the classes, name
ly, to abrogate the autocratic power
and grant a constitution by creating
a ministry responsible alike to the
crown and the representatives of the
nation.
The emperor finally accepted, request
ing Count Witte to draft project

last Sunday, when the count agreed to
accept the premiership on condition
that he could name the ministers, and
that they should report to his ma
jesty only through himself as the head

been there-he doesn't know himself
The man lay curled up beside a cask of
old Madeira wine, and the police believe
lie had been there since last Monday.
He had broken into the house just
to get a place to sleep JOY came into
his heart when he saw the cask Of
wine, and he drank from the spigot.
He thinks he awoke some time the next
day. and again filled himself with wine
and repeated the act daily.

in the house and who owned the wine,
found the man and notified the police,

LOUBET GOES TO LISBON
French President Concludes Visit to
Spain and Leaves for
Portugal
BY Associated Press.

By Associated EreSS
MADRID, Oct. 26.-President Loubet's
visit to Madrid was concluded this
evening without special incident. He
was accompanied to the station by
King Alfonso and left for Lisbon at
6:15 o'clock. He will reach the Portu-
guese frontier early tomorrow morning.
The ministerial crisis augments daily
owing to the peculiar attitude of the
friends of minister of Marine Villaneu-
va, who objected to President Loubet
bestowing the grand cross of the Le-
gion of Honor on him after comforting
a higher order on General Weyler, the
minister of war.
The question of Senior Villaneuva
created a serious incident, and is threat
ening a disruption of the cabinet. VIII
laneuva maintains that as supreme
head of the navy he should not re-
ceive a lower decoration than the head
of the army. French circles hold that
Villaneuva's action is the result of his
lnsympathetic sentiments toward
France and it is said that the incident
will result in his retirement from the
cabinet. The premier is seeking to pre-
vent the disruption going beyond the
minister of marine, but other retire
ments, including that of the minister of
finance, are considered to be imminent

MURDERER SEVEN YEARS OLD
The Boy Who Burned Children Alive

Whisky
Special to The Herald.

MARINETTE, Wis, Oct. 26.-Psy-
biologists all over the country are in
terested in the case of Leon Crambeau,
the seven-year- murderer, and there
is wide divergence of opinion as to his
nature.
Leon burned to death three little
children. Witnesses say he deliberately
saturated one cradle with kerosene and
set the clothing covering the sleeping
infant afre. The other children lost
their lives in the same blaze. and there
is one siX-year-old girl suffering from
burns, but it is believed she will re-
cover.
When examined in the Jail here the
boys head was found to be well formed
and he showed no decided signs of de-
generacy. He is clear-eyed, supple of
limb, though UNDER sized, being hardly
larger than a well-grown boy of five
years.
cell just before being taken away to
where he will be restrained, and on be-
ing questioned he said he would die
unless he was given some tobacco to
chew. He was given a package.
By his environment he has become
impregnated with criminal tendencies.
A near relative taught him to steal and
took him on thieving and barn-burning
expeditions.
The boy swears like a trooper and
can drink more whiskey than most men.
The home of the Crambeau family
is dilapidated log shanty, about two
miles from Waukesha. The mother can
speak little English and is simple
minded. Leon had her terrorized.

OMAHA, Oct. 26.-E NJ. Andreesen
has returned from Europe, where he
spent the last two months. For sew
eral weeks he was in his native land of
Germany and he travelled in Belgium,
Holland, England, Scotland and Ire
land. Mr.. Andreesen was impressed by
the American tourist invasion of Eu
rope. He said:
1T is estimated that 100000 Ameri-
cans, the largest number on record,
have visited Europe this season. Thou
sands are there now who cannot get
away because they did not engage re-
turn berths and are not now able to
obtain them. From the office of every
steamship company on the continent
they are turned away daily. One office
in Paris has refused tickets to more
than 800 people. They will have to stay
until travel is lighter and return when
they can"
Germany, according to Mr.. Andree-
sen, is developing about as rapidly as
America, and is fast getting ahead of
England. The German merchants are
going after the trade of the world and
are getting a large share of it. They
speak three or four languages and
send their clerks over the world to
learn foreign tongues. They are able
to converse with the South American,
African and Asiatic peoples in their
own tongues and have a great advan-
tage in this respect over the British
merchants, who, in their stiff-necked
pride in the English language, have
refused to learn other langua ges. Yet
an awakening is taking place among
the English, said Mr.. Andreesen.

RATE QUESTION
CAUSES SPLIT
INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW
CONVENTION DIVIDED
All Those Delegates Who Refuse to
Support the Presidents Policy
Excluded From Hall
In Chicago
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-Refusing to
stand by President Roosevelt's policy
for the regulation of railroad rates, a
large number of delegates to the Inter
state Commerce Law convention were
barred from the convention of that
organization today and thereupon held
a separate meeting to give expression
to their ideas on the subject. The
original convention was held in Stein
way hall, while the "anti'' convention
met in Music or Studebaker hall, sew
eral blocks away.
Aware of alleged attempts to thwart
the purpose of the convention, the dele
gates at Steinway hall refused to admit
delegates, although properly accredited,
unless they would agree to support the
presidents rate plan. These delegates
objected to the procedure, demanding
they be given the right of free speech,
while the opposition charged they were
sent by the railroads and other unfair
interests to pack the convention. A
number of exciting scenes followed be-
fore the meetings were called to order.
The number of delegates at each con-
vention was about equal, ranging be-
tween four hundred and five hundred.
Speeches, organization and resolutions,
including one which was presented in
the Studebaker hall convention, asking
the president to settle the dispute as
to which was the regular convention,
but upon which no action was taken,
occupied the time of the first meetings
of the convention.
The convention will continue in ses-
sion tomorrow, when resolutions will
be adopted by the Steinway hall con-
vention in favor of the presidents S

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Carrying a
heavy cane which was made in Jerusa-
lem, Simon Harris, residing at "a Nor
folk street entered the registration
booth at 1874 Grand street yesterday
afternoon, and in a loud voice said:
Gentlemen; I wish to register" The
place just at that time was filled with
politicians, election district captains
inspectors and a few detectives from
the Delaney street station.
After the old man had informed the
clerk that he lived in the Second Elec-
tion district of the Twelfth assembly
district, he was asked how old he was.
My age is 104,' he replied.
"How much did you say that your
age was?" the young clerk asked when
he was interrupted by Harris.
Sir 1 am in hurry to get away
My age is 104." Then the old man reg
istered and went away to attend a Jew
ish wedding on the east side.
Harris is known as the oldest man
on the east side. He has Travelled all

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.-On the
night of August 18th, when the whaling
bark Gayhead was cruising about rs
miles west of Pribyloff Island in Ber
ing sea, Mate Pease and the men on
deck were thunderstruck by the appear
ance of great city Immediately ahead.
There was the shore line, and rising
above it were thousands of electric
lights twinkling along a hundred
streets Here and there, apparently at
prominent corners, were larger lights,
and along the shore were the myriad of
lights showing at the wharves. But
the mate and his men knew that this
must be an imaginary city, and that for
hundreds of miles beyond where these
lights f1ared out was only an expanse of
desolate water. The mate called Cap
tain Fisher and he looked upon the
scene and was bewildered. There was
no accounting for the wonderful sight.
This city seemed as real as San Fran.
cisco seems to a vessel anchored in the
channel near Goat Island. When day
light came the spectacle faded away,
and in all directions was only the heav-
ing bosom of the cold sea, with no land
in sight and no great city within
thousands of miles.
