the novel spectacle of Canadian

American colors. He was sending up
his second rocket when the conductor
rushed back.
"You-you impudent scoundrel!
What do you mean by-by that?" and,
words failing. he waved his hand
toward the station.
"Me?" said Flicker. "Oh. I don't
mean nothing by that; I'm just havin'

"You do. do you? Well. young man,

London, June 16.-The practical certainty now that peace negotiations cannot be begun for another month leads to the conviction that another battle will be fought in the interval.

VERY SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR
The Hanging of Two HurdeFerS in
 the Colorado Penitentiary.

Canon City, Colo, June 16.-Freder- ick Arnold, aged twenty, and Newton Andrews. aged twenty-one, were hang ed in the state penitentiary here to- night for the murder of Mrs. Amanda YOUngblood in Denver, two years ago.
 The execution was successful in eV- cry detail Andrews made a statement in which he admitted firing shot during the struggle at the Youngblood home but that the bullet went into the ceiling without ipjTrina any one. He said he was very drunk at the time and did nos realize what was being done.
 Andrews neck was broken, but the body was left suspended in the air two and a half minutes before being cut down. When the Arnold lad was led out ten minutes later he walked with a firm thread to the platform. The manner of his death was similar to that of his partner
 Both bodies will be inferred in the prison cemetery. It is thought by the penitentiary physician that Peters. tie third man convicted of the murder Oi Mrs. YoungblOod, who recently was placed in the hospital ward for treat ment. cannot live until November, the time set for his execution.

PRESIDENTS CONTRIBUTION
Generous Donation to Rough Rider
 Monument Fund

Judge R. E. Sloan of Prescott as secretary of the Captain O'Neill Rough Rider Monument commission, has received from President RoOse- welt a check for the further swelling of that fund. The amount of the check was not made public but it is stated that it was generous. The let ter enclosing the check was the re- sponse to a letter written by Judge Sloan to the president concerning the erection of the monument.
 In order to increase the fund of S10,- 900 at its disposal, the commission has decided to issue a personal appeal to the people of Yavapai and later to the entire territory. This will be done in the form of a public letter which Judge Sloan now has in the course of preparation. The legislative act contemplated only a monument. The commissioners have since discussed the proprlety of surmounting it with statue. A rough estima te of the cost of the whole structure is $40,OO0 and that sum no doubt can be easily raised.

M. WITTE CAN'T SERVE.
He Was Taunht to Believe that the
 Japanese Were Inferior.

St. Petersburg, June 16.- Although in the absence of official advices the Russian government is not yet able to announce a definite concluSio of the arrangements for the meeting of the Russian and Japanese plenipOtentiaries the foreign office last night authoriz- ed the statement that negotiations to that end were progressing rapidly and issued a communication for publication in this mornings newspapers acquaint- ing the public with the speedy progress toward tn" opening of the conference.
 Count Cassini's report of the selec- tion of Washington and of the cities favored by Russia has not yet arrived but it is thought the ambassador is waiting for the fixing of the date of the meeting, which again will depend on the travelling arrangements Mar quis Ito, president of the Japanese privy council and M. Nelidoff, the Rus sian ambassador to Paris, will be able to make and on the time necessary to perform tie journey.
 After final arrangements have been made the foreign offica. it is expected, will issue another official note an nouncing the successful completion of steps preliminary to the conference and the naming of Russia's representative or representatives.
 ! The communication of the foreign of i flee is as follows: According to ad- vices from Washington, immediately after the receipt of the Russian note trasoonding to the proposition of Pres ident Roosevelt negotiations as to the place and time of meeting commenced. These negotiations are proceeding
 speedily, but are not yet actually fin isEed"
 Pessinistic chauvinists are building | mountains out of the wording of the
 Associated Press dispatches from Washington announcing that Great Britain was unwilling to use her influ- ] ence with Japan to moderate her ally's terms. declaring that if it meant that | Great Britain has sounded Japan and found her in a mood to insist on a hea- l " indemnity and other humiliatine demands it also meant an indefinite prclongation of the war. The genera disposition however, is to suspend judg-
 ment until Japan reveals her terms and in diplomatic circles there is 2
 hopeful feeling that these terms wil form the basis of a possible agree
