more "on this earth''
He will have hard time to get a
bondsman, no doubt.

Foster Has watch Presented.

Herbert Thompson, the son of Surro-
gate J. R. @. Thompson, continues to
improve and yesterday, his first day
home, he remembered the young man
who had taken him from the water in
time to save his life.
When Herbert fell in the water,
senseless, unconscious by reason of the
terrible blow on the back of the head,
he sank like stone to the bottom of
the lake.
Promptly Adam Foster, a young
man, dived beneath the surface, raised
the boy to the surface and dragged
him ashore.
When Herbert came from PhiIadel-
phia Tuesday night he brought with
him handsome gold watch and chain.
Upon the outside of the case was en-
graved Fosters monogram GA. f."
and upon the inside case was this in
scription:
Presented to Adam Foster
BY
ID. Herbert Thompson for a noble act
July IL, 1905.
Yesterday afternoon in response to
an urgent invitation Foster visited
the home of Herbert, and while there
he was presented by the boy with the
handsome present. Foster was greatly
touched by the thoughtfulness of the
little fellow.

contention for a conference receives the final adherence of France but Presi- dent Rouvier has secured the safe guards which he insisted at the pre- liminary conference with Prince Won Radolin were indispensable. The most important of these safeguards is that the conference shall not convey any prejudice to the Anglo-French or Franco Spanish ententes. While Ger many does not specifically assent to these agreements she formally with holds dissent. This is considered an important gain for France and as both the cntentes referred to recognize Frances privileged position in Morocco France emerges from the negotiations with this privileged position intact.
 Both countries agree as to the soV- ereignty of the sultan, the independ ence Of Morocco and the "open door, without inequality. This has always been the policy of both governments, so neither can claim a victory in this respect At the same time it gives a new lease of existence to Morocco and appears to put an end to the prOspec- tive breakup of the sultan's tottering monarchy and it's subdivision among European powers. On the other hand, the agreement recognizes Frances spe- Cial interest in the country, due to the geographical proximity of Algiers, and its right there to police the frontier and maintain peace and order. It still remains for the sultan to arrange the program for the conference. Officials anticipate that this will not be an easy task Sts the Franco. German agreement so fully circumscribes the conference that it will be difficult to find questions remaining open for determination.
 It is pointed out that the sultan of MoroccO's position is weakened by the negotiations, as he will no longer have representatives of the various powers pleading for favor. since the entire question of regulating Morocco is now practically taken out of his hands for determination elsewhere.
 Following Premier Rouvier's presen- tation of the notes to the chamber of deputies efforts were made to inter pellate him in the premises. These were not pressed. the feeling being in favor of supporting the premier's ad- justment of the matter.
 The newspapers with a few excep- tiOns, express satisfaction that the controversy has terminated and con- slider that Premier Rouvier secured an admirable result when the difficulty of the negotiations is considered.

The Russians were dis lodged and are now being pursued. The Japanese captured four guns and suffered no loss.
 Admiral Kataoka reports under date of July as follows: Our squadron landed marines on July '. There was no resistance as a portion of our army had already landed. One of our de- stroyers reported on the afternoon of July that Karsakorsk was burning. The forts previously shelled were then silent The army reported on July 8 that Karsakorsk had been taken. Our flags are visible at several points. We were apprehensive on account of the weather, but the work of the fleet was successfully accomplished. Early on Saturday three warships. two destroy CTS were dispatched to Yenzuma Cape. Later a destroyer entered Rolisei and was vigorously shelled by field pieces. We returned the fire and silenced the enemys guns"

be something quite outside the nation al life, and no thought was bestowed upon it by the population except as d part of a political and partisan plat form. He appealed to the country to awake to it's danger and to take hold of the army as a great national issue on which the existence of Great Brit ain depended. He said the whole em- pire must rise to the occasion and that every one must personally bear a share in the defense or. enable those to whom the responsibility was delegated to be- come in all respects efficient.
 The discussion of the motion con tinued for some time, the speakers complimenting Lord Roberts for the stand he had taken. Lord Lansdowne, the foreign minister, defended Premier Balfour. He said that MT. Balfour had never maintained that the defense Of the country depended solely on the navy. The committee on defense had taken every possible phase into con- sideration and would, he hoped, be able to work out the problem to the satisfaction of every one.
 The government decided not to op- pose the motion of the Earl of Wem- yss and March, which was passed with out a division.

The Man who "Leaked" Cannot Be

Washington, July 1O.-In view of the discussion that had taken place regard ing the circumstance attending refer ence by Secretary Wilson to the United States. attorney of the cotton leak re- port for advice as to whether or not criminal action against Assistant Sta tistican Holmes would lie.
 Solicitor McCabe of the department of agriculture today gave out the fol- lowing statement: About 10 a. m. Friday, July ', under instructions from the secretary of agriculture, called on MT. Beach. United States attorney for the District of Columbia taking with me the secret service operative who had made the investigation of the re- ported leakage on the cotton crop re- port. The secretary instructed me to place all the evidence in the possession of the department of the original re- port of the secret service operative in the hands of MT. Beach and to request that official to advise the secretary whether in his opinion, criminal ac- tion would lie against any of the part ies named in the evidence or in the re- port. I carried out the instructions of the secretary and further told him that

the secretary desired to have his opin- ion on the matter as soon as possible, and asked whether it would handicap him in his efforts to maintain a prose- cution if the secretary gave a report of the investigation to the newspapers pending MT. Beach's determination of the matter. MT. Beach replied that he did not want one word to be made pub lie until he had time to go over the matter and satisfy himself as to wheth- CT or not an offense had been commit ted and a prosecution could be main tained.
 Upon my suggestion Mir. Beach called up the secretary of agriculture by telephone and advised him of the fact that he did not want publicity at that time and that he would commun- icate with the secretary as soon as possible. On Friday afternoon be- tween 2 and o'clock MT. Beach call ed upon the secretary in person and returned all papers and stated that a prosecution would not lie. The whole question was presented to MT. Beach i whether an offense against the law had been committed and whether in his opinion a criminal prosecution would be made"
 The United States attorney when shown the statement of MT. McCabe declined to add anything to the state ment heretofore given out by him.

 Gates

Denver, July 1O.-The supreme court today denied the petitions for rehear- ing in the cases of the democratic county officials busted by a recent de- cision of the court and modified it's original order in the cases so as to allow Judgment to issue from the su- preme court at once in all the cases. Later. Bailif F. W. Watson, accOmpa- nied by the successful republican cor testants for county offices, appeared at the court house and demanded that the democrats Vacate.
 All compiled without protest with the exception of City and County Treasurer Elder, who declared he could not, in justice to lis bondsmen, surrender his office and the possession of the books and funds until some or der was made by the supreme court separating the city funds from the county funds. as he maintains that he is still city treasurer.

A NEW AMERICAN EXPLOSIVE.
Dunnite Believed to Be the Most Pow erfuI in the World.

New York, July 1O.-That a twelve inch shell, loaded with dunnite, anew explosive. will break in the side of a heavy armor-clad vessel, although the shell fall short of it's mark by twenty feet, was discovered yesterday at the beginning of a. series of tests at the government proving grounds at Sandy Hook. The great value of this explo- sive lies in the fact that the shell will pierce armor plate and explode iE the interior of a vessel. The explosive substance is named after its inventor. Major Beverly w. Dunn. United States army. and is a closely guarded gov. ernment secret. Foreign nations have sought in vain to learn of its compost ton. It is believed to be the most powerful explosive in the world.

TO CONTROL TERRITORY COTTON
Another Compress Bought by the AL legged Combine in South McAlester.

Muskogee, l. T., July 1O.-It is re- ported from a reliable source that the Gulf Compress company has secured control of the cotton compress at South McAlester. This is the same company that bought the MuskOgee compress as we'll as nearly all the cotton gins in this part of the territory. There is an apparent effort to control the cotton business of the territory. The compress at South NcAlester is to be closed this fall and all the cotton will be handled through the Muskogee compress be- cause the company can get a water rate from their compress here and can ship most of their output to the gulf by boat.

Severe Criticism of MiIi-
 tdry Preparedness
ITS INADEQUATE DEFENSE
England Has Forgotten What She Learned in South Africa-The Life of the Empire Is Dependent Upon an Efficient Army.

London, July 10.-Ffeld Marshal Lord Roberts created a sensation in the house of lords this evening when in a lengthy and we'll considered speech he deliberately expressed his opinion as a practical soldier that the military force of Great Britain was inadequate, irnperfectly trained and totally unfit to uphold Great Britain as first class power. Lord Roberts did not blame the government, which he said was actuat- ed by a national feeling. but he scath- ingly attacked the people of England who, he said, showed no national feel ing toward the military until danger rose. Then, said Lord Roberts, the soldier was the pet of the people, but this was only an evanescent enthusiasm which did not entail self sacrifice and passed away as soon as the danger disappeared.
 The speech was delivered in con- nectiOn with a motion introduced by the Earl of Wemyss and March Ccon- servative) traversing Premier Balfour's statement regarding the impossibility of the invasion of Great Britain and urging the necessity of keeping up suf- ficient land forces to repel any possible invasion.
 
 South African war had been forgot ten. He had no hesitation in saying that tho armed forces of Great Britain as body were now as absolutely un- fitted and unprepared for war as they were when the South African trouble broke out He declared emphatically that the choice lay between conscrip- tiOn or some practical system of uni Versal training. and that only by such means would it be possible for Great Britain to possess armed forces or ganized and trained to meet the de- mands of the empire in the event of war.
 Lord Roberts, continuing asserted that any discussion of Great Britain's military position within the limits of the motion proposed by the Earl of Wemyss and March would be entirely unavailing. The country had to deal with a question of infinitely -great-im- Portance, the question of the life or the death of the empire. the issue of which depended upon Great Britain being ready to defend her eastern pos sessions and at the same time take part in any affair nearer home, either of which necessitated the placing in the field of an army as large and ef- ficient as that of any of the European countries, all of which might be re- garded as nations in arms

A FIGHT OVER POWERS
The hAyOrOr Newport, Ky. Whipr cd
 by JatlOF.

Cincinnati, July 10.-In custody of the United States marshal under or ders of United States Judge Cochran, who last week assumed jurisdiction in his case, Caleb Powers, charged with complicity in the murder of Vim. Goebel at Frankfort in the winter of 1900, was tonight lodged in the New port jail, across the river from this city, where he will be held pending d decision of the various legal points arising out of his transfer from state to federal jurisdiction.
 When Powers arrived at the New port jail at 7:5O o'clock tonight a con troversy arose between Jailer Ploeger and Mayor Hembold as to what cell the prisoner should occupy. The may or insisted that the cell that has been prepared for Powers is not the proper place. Ploeger and Mayor HembOld finally came to blows, and the latter was knocked down. During the fight between the mayor and the jailer the furniture in the cell prepared for Pow CTS was confiscated by unknown per sons. Subsequently Powers was plac- ed in another cell with the other pris- Oners, where he will remain until the jailer can secure other quarters for him.
 For five years Powers has been in prison. He has been tried four times and sentenced to death three times, but as he walked into the jail tonight he expressed a hope of his ultimate ac- quittal of the charge entered against him. He was the only one of those charged with conspiracy to murder Wm. Goebel to be convicted and sen fenced to death. His fight for life has been remarkable, and the attorneys to- day expressed the belief that three more years may pass before the end of the present legal complications will make possible the trial in the federal courts for which he applied five weeks ago at London, Ky.
