ANOTHER INTERNAL MACHINE.
Gun Cotton Hidden in Cigar Box Sem
 Police Captatn.

Gun C0tton Hi00en m CtBMF DVA Sens
 Police Captain.
 New York. Aug. 21.-Gun cotton enough to kill a man arranged in an internal machine and disguised as gift cigar box was received today by precinct police captain Miles O'Reilly.
 This is the third deadly explosive in- strument of similar construction sent through New York mails in the last four days. the other two having been received last Friday by Jacob H. Schin, the banker. and M Guggenheims Sons.
 Captain O'Reilly received cigar box which in weight and every other de- tail mislead him into taking 1t for a genuine present. Unusually heavy and tenacious nails fastening down the cover, however. caused suspicion. When the box had been carefully open ed at the ends, matches were found glued to it's inner surface in such a manner that they would be ignited on emery paper by the friction necessary to raise the lid. The police found that the flare of one of the half dozen matches would have caused the death of Captain o'Reilly. A detective car- ried a tiny portion of the gun cotton and powder which nearly filed the box into the cellar and then touched a match to it. The resulting explosion was heard on the upper floors of the police station.

NEW YORK CROWDED.

Every Hotel and Apartment House
 ThronEed With Visitors.
 New York, Aug. 21.--A glance at the hotel registers, thronged restaurants and cafes. streams of theater-goers and countless sightseeing vehicles, show that there are more visitors in New York at the present time than at any corresponding period in years.
 Nearly every one of the ninety large hotels devoted to the accommodation of transient visitors, in which there is a total of more than 21,0oo rooms. Is filled to its capacity. and so are the eighty apartment hotels for the same class, where there are about 10000 rooms, It Is estimated that these in ITO caravan saries alone something like 100000 per- sons have been received in the last week and the extent to which this kind of travel Is growing is indicated by the fact that south of One Hundredth Street, about 5000 more rooms are be- ing made ready in hotels yet in course of construction. Many of the hotel patrons are foreigners. but the great majority are Americans who have come to ''see New York"
 All the railroad lines having termi- nals in New York have been doing an extraordinarily large business this sum- mer and the officials say the volume has been growing year after year.
 When the homeward rush from sea- shore, country and mountains begins about the first week in September, they will all put extra trains in operation.

 No one was injured, but the five oe- cupants were greatly alarmed. Police in an automobile were following the party and at once made an investiga- tion, resulting in the discovery that the barricade without doubt had been placed there to bring about a fatal &C., cident to the Queen. Two arrests were made on suspicion.

ROOSEVELT STILL HOPES.
Presideut Had Long Secret Conference
 With Baron KanekO.

oyster Bay, Aug. 21.-President Roosevelt has not abandoned hope of a successful issue of the Washington neace conference. Neither has he re- faxed his efforts to prevent rupture betwen the conferees when they recon vene tomorrow afternoon at Ports mouth.
 events of importance succeeded each other rapidly here today On an early morning train Baron Kaneko. a conf dential representative in this country of the Japanese Government, arrived in oyster Bay quite unexpectedly. He has general invitation to visit the President at any time and was received as soon as he arrived at Sagamore Hlll. That he was the bearer of important Information Is known. but the nature of his message Is not disclosed. He re- mained with President three-quarters of an hour. At the conclusion of the conference the Baron declined even to discuss his mission. although he polite ly expressed regret at his inability to enlighten his interrogators.
 Surrounded by half dozen newspa- per men, he talked with apparent frankness. but his words were not luminous with information. He ex- pressed the opinion which he was care ful to note was simply his own, that Japan had made every concession in the conference that a victorious power could eexpected to make and that the Japanese people would resent any serf- ous recession by the envoys from the position they had taken.
 Following Baron Kaneko's visit President Roosevelt had his acting sec retary, MT. Barnes, with him for two hours. In addition to the matter which the Baron had presented to him, the President received and considered an accumulation of dispatches and lettSrs. Late in the day important mess;Sses were received from Portsmouth, the responses to which occupied the Presi- dents attention for a considerable time.
 Not the slightest indication of the character of the correspondence was permitted to become public. The Pres ident acting as an intermediary be- tween the two warring Governments feels that secrecy Is even more incum- bent upon him than as though the mat ter related wholly to him personally or to the United States.
 The President declines either to con- firm or to deny any of the statements made about the proposition which he | submitted to the Russian envoys l through Baron Rosen. There is strong raaaon for the statement, however

Russian Envoy In Possession of Ems
 peror's Ideas of Terms.
 St. Petersburg, Aug. 22.-The Russian Governments final communications to M. Witte, outlining the course that he shall pursue at the re-opening of the peace conference at Portsmouth, are still in process of being put into cipher, prior to being forwarded to America With the receipt of St. Petersburg s last message, the brief breathing spell will have ended. St. Petersburg leaves the final word with her representatives at Portsmouth.
 The Associated Press is in a position to state that when the nature of these communications becomes generally known. it will be seen that in sin cere desire to effect a satisfactory set clement, the Government has gone so far as its extremely vital state of in terests will permit. It can further be said that for this reason the Govern ment is firmly convinced that in case of failure of the negotiations the responsi- bility will not rest with Russia, which has conceded much already.
 While it is impossible to learn the actual contents of the Government s communication to NJ. Witte, 1t can be declared that the requirements of state make concessions on the questions of indemnity and Sakhalins as these ques- tions were originally presented by the Japanese, impossible
 It Is certain that in the matter of con- cession the four points now in dispute have been considered and studied here in the light of concessions Russia al ready has granted on the other eight articles.
 The foregoing is a brief but accurate outline of the platform upon which M Witte will meet the Japanese pjlenipo' tentiaries today. Baron de Rosen's re- ports regarding the interview with President Roosevelt have been received here and their perusal by the Govern ment has only increased the feelings Of gratitude and appreciation for Presi- dent RooseveIt's continued efforts. Ba' ron de Rosen's communications to tho Emperor are such as do not require 8 special answer.
 A hopeful feeling was noticeable here yesterday that peace was still possible and 1t is believed by some that Russfa's answer will give material evidence oi such a sincere desire to reach settle ment that Japan will practically b' I forced to accept 1t or appear before the world as utterly unreasonable anf unsuitable.
 ii is believed that the questions ot | the surrender of the interned ships and the limitations of Russia's naval power in the Far East will be satisfactorily settled. There remains. then, the ques, | tions of the payment of Indemnity ane l the cession of Sakhalin by Russia The first may be overcome by Russia following Japan's lead in avoiding the use of the word Indemnity" but con senting to make certain payments tC | Japan on other scores, the chief of then being Japan's bill for keeping 1OO'0O' prisoners, which Is expected to be very | heavy.

Fourth Glass Rate Ordered Last Sum-

The independent oil companies have
scored another point in their campaign
for better freight rates on oil in barrel
shipments, putting them on more even

The Great Northern, 500 and North
ern Pacific have reduced barrel oil from
the third to the fourth class in all
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
make the reduction apply to their sta
lions in Wisconsin also.
This action is the sequel to the order
made last summer by the Minnesota
railroad commission. After a hearing
in which the railroad officials opposed
the change, oil in barrels was reduced
on all Minnesota roads from third to
fourth class. making q 25 per cent re-
joys a ffthclass rate on it's shipments
in tank cars, but the independents, at
fourth-class rates, are able to compete
on much more even basis. Since Aug.
l, when the order took effect, the indie
pendents have made a big increase in
their Minnesota business. In Novem-
Der they made showing to the rail
for the first three months under the
new rate with the same three months
last year. The Bartles Oil company re-
ported 70 per cent increase. The
comparison opened the eyes Of traffic
men to the possibilities of this bust
ness. and the concession made by the
northern lines is result. Lines domi-
mated by the Rockefeller interests are

OilSoaked Rubbish at Door Of Oilhouse
Fired by Unknown Incendiary--
Flames Got Good Start, but Firemen
Averted Danger of Spread to the OIL
tanks '-aE. -. -sr

Another determined attempt to wipe
out the plant of the Diamond Iron
Works, Eighteenth avenue N and First
street, was made last night by an I'M
known incendiary, who applied the
torch to a pile of oil-soaked waste at
the entrance of the oilhouse.
The oilhouse, well stocked with gaso,,
lene and lubricating oils, is, situated
several feet from the main plant, and
workmen found it ablaze:, One whole
side of the building was in flames be-
fore the fire was discovered. The de-
partment was summoned, but while they
we're making the run the workmen
fought the flames and kept them away
from the oiltanks. When the depart
ment arrived it took but few min
utes to extinguish the fire.
An examination showed that some
one had carried shavings and waste. to
the oilhouse door. and after saturatlng
them with oil and grease, had set them
afre.
No one was seen in the vicinity at
the time to arouse suspicion, but the
matter has been reported to the police
and thoro investigation will be made.
Three hours later another fire broke
out in the main plant. 1t was caused
by the friction of belt and was quick
ly extinguished. The loss for the two
fires was about 5000.
This is the. fifth attempt that has
been made this veal, to destroy the
heavy damage. The Diamond sawmill
but few feet away, was destroyed
April II by an incendiary fire, and the
police think that the same person is
trying to wreak his vengeance on the
other concern. - E-r' s. ..

UNUSUAL FISHING AT
LAKE MINNET0NKA

Floyd st: John, the gentleman of the
",sun kissed hair" who presides over
the fortunes of the Oliver Typewriter
company, is the happiest man in Excel
sior today. Mr.. st. John is the owner
of the "Red Dragon,'' a fast iceboat
on Lake Minnetonka. Yesterday he was
out sailing in good stiff breeze-his
boat fairly flying, making as good as
two miles a minute-when he ran over
an airhole in the ice. An instant later
a big pickerel weighing twenty one
pounds was Topping beside him in the
cockpit. He could hardly believe his
own eyes and senses so he brought it up
to the Sampson house, where it was
served to a party of twenty-seven
guests last night.
st. John declares that the fish had
come up in the airhole to breathe and
that the suction caused by the speed of
the boat literally "sucked the sucker
in.' 1t is known among st. John s
friends that he is unlike George Wash
ington in this-that George could not
tell a lie, while st. John could, but
wouldn It.
