GUNBoAr MAKES TROUBLE.
Hish-danded Outrage Perpetrated at
Brazilian Port.

Washington.-The Brazilian embas-
sy in this city has received telegram
from Baron de Rio Branco, the minis
ter Of foreign affairs, stating that
few days ago several of the officers of
the German gunboat Panther went
ashore in civilian dress and visited
small fishing town called Itajahy in
he state of Santa Catalina, and there,
without arg form of process, seized
man by the name of Setinhoff, who
had left his native country, Germany,
as deserter from the army, and took
him with them as a prisoner on the
Panther Thereupon the gunboat left
ltajahy and went to another port in
the state Of Rio Grande Dosul. The
three Brazilian cruisers, Almirante
Barrao, Benz. Constant and Tamman-
dare, were sent to watch the Panther
and see that no similar occurrences
should again happen, while the Bra
lillian government made an official
protest against the action of those Of

Postmaster General Is Less Concerned
About Deficit Than the Efficiency
of the Postal pepartment-De.
ficit for the Year Is Near.
iy Fifteen Million

Neutrality-suspicious. General
Cortelyou, in his annual report for the
past fiscal year, says that, while a
self-sustaining condition of the post.
office department would be gratifying,
he is less concerned about the deficit
than the efficiency of administration.
For the fiscal year 1905 the total re-
ceipts from all sources were $152,.
S26,5S5 and the total expenditures
$167,399, ,169 leaving deficit of $14,'
572,5S4. In connection with these fig.
ures the postmaster general directs
attention to the increased amount of
free matter handled, which, he says,
averaged 1858 per cent of the entire
weight carried, or loss in revenue OF
$19,S22,000.
"Manifestly," he says, "had the mat
ter carried free been required to have
been prepaid, Notwithstanding the
large expenditures for the rural free
delivery service there would have been
no deficit"
Answering some of the criticisms
which, he says, have been directed
against the postal service, he says that
most of it overlooks the unusual con-
ditions existing in this country, its
great extent of territory and its wide
ly scattered population.
Governmental control of the pneu-
matte tube service and the mail wagon
service Is recommended.
An appropriation of $4,000 for send
ing three experienced postal officials
abroad to study foreign postal systems
is asked.

two rival parades, which were cele-

men pillaged and murdered. Work

peace party, while disguised police
usually led the hoodlums. After the

escaped from the city.
Two refugees from western Russia
said that there the Jew killing was

Whose Clothes Were in Tstters
and Feet Bleeding When
Captured.

South Norwalk, Conn.-Croucbed N
the bushes of swamp, her hair d.
heveled and full of burrs, her dress il,
tatters and her feet uncovered and
bleeding, a posse of men found Mrs
Edward Gustafson Sunday afternoon
a maniac.
Mrs. Gustafson is the young woman
who shot her husband in their home
Saturday and then chased him aroma
the house and upstairs, where the
pistol was taken from her after n
stubborn fight. She had fired three
shots at her husband during the pur.
suit and had threatened the lives OF
her two little daughters. She made
her escape to the woods, and large
posses of police and citizens scoure8
the country all through the night
using lanterns and dogs in their hunt
for the demented woman, fearing she
would return and kill the girls.
Mrs. Gustafson has not spoken since
she was captured. She made no re-
sistance, and her mind is apparently
blank. Gustafson is dead.

LAW MUST BE ENFORCED.
Attorney General Moody Sends Out
Orders to District Attorneys.

Washington, ID. C.-Attorney Gen
eral Moody on Tuesday sent circu-
lar letter to all the United States dis.
trict attorneys, eighty-five in number.
directing them vigilantly to enforce
the provisions of the Elkins act
against rebates and determinations
of all kinds by carriers. The method
of proceeding suggested is by way of
indictments. 1t is the expectation
that this letter will result in the
prompt investigation of all complaints
made of determinations by carriers,
followed by indictments where the
evidence warrants. The department
itself, 1t is said, has investigated
thoroughly all cases of discrimina-
tions brought to its attention, but it
has no facilities for prompt investi-
cation of discriminatory practices all
over the country, and it has been felt
that these cases were of a nature that
could mot be safely entrusted to the
discretion of the district attorneys.

always been regarded as docile until
Monday, when he made sudden dash
at Bisi as he entered the pen to lead
the animal to water. {
The animals horns caught him on
the hips. threw him high in the air,
and as he struck the earth the bull
was on him. He thrust one horn
through the old mans right side and
was goring him about when his grand
children jumped the fence and
dragged him to safety. Bisi's condi-

KOREAN EMPEROR FORCED
TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT
Emperor Was Kept Practically in
Confinement and Was Forced to
Submit to Demands Of Japan
at Point Of Sword.

Washington, d. C.--Homer b. HUI
bert, the special messenger from the
emperor of Korea, is in receipt of a
cablegram from Korea in which the
emperor declares that the agreement
between Korea and Japan Is null and
void because 1t was obtained by
force He also declares that he will
never sign this agreement in its pres
ent form and that the disturbances
which attended the outrage" of No
vember II are likely to occur again.
Concerning the cablegram from
the emperor of Korea Mr.. Hurlbert
said
This is the first genuine word that
has been received from Korea giving
the real attitude of that government
toward the treacherous act of the Jap
anese. For several weeks the en-
peror was practically in confinement
and Japan gave out the false state
ment that an amieable agreement had
been made. This is now proven to
be untrue. The agreement was made
under duress and at the point of the
sword, but the emperor has at last
succeeded in piercing the Gordon of
Japan and getting information into
the outer world"

The Representative American Drama
of the Age.


Salt Lake City, Utah.-Amons
Americans who are inspired
by patriotic sentiment there cannot
fail to be sense of qualification that
the most important play in the history
Of the stage world is the work of an
American. That play is Ben Hur''-
the author, General Lew Wallace.
Since its original production in New
York City, the closing year of the last
century, 1t has been presented in
many foreign countries and languages,
and all have acknowledged its supe
riority. The attention paid 1t by rep
resentative personages of the world,
from the Pope of Rome to the King Of
England and the President of the
United States, has worked healthy
influence among all classes, and today
to attend a performance of Ben Hur"
is considered a part of the education
of the rising generation.
The public of this vicinity will have
an opportunity to witness Ben Hur'
at the Salt Lake theatre, Salt Lake
City, Utah, Christmas week. 1t Is to
be enacted for six nights, starting
December 25th. Matinees are to be
given on Christmas day, Wednesday
