The Persian Minister'S Remarks.
The Persian minister in presenting his
credentials said:
Mr.. President: have the honor to de-
liver into your exeellencys lands the let
tiers by which his imperial majesty, the
shah, my august sovereign. as appointed
me his envoy, extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary to the President of the
United States. III
His imperial majesty has observed
with the keenest satisfaction how the re-
lations between Persia and the United
States have developed in recent times,
when my predecessor had the honor to rep
resent his majesty here.
''The instructions which his majesty has
degned to give me have for their object to
draw still closer the bonds which SO happily
exist between the two countries and to
render these relations still more intimate.
II highly appreciate the honor of being
charged with such a mission. and indulge
the hope that your excellency's bengnity
will facilitate for me its fulfillment.
Il also have the honor to deliver to your
decessor. Gen. Isaac Khan"
The Presidents Response.
The President replied as follows:
mir. Minister: 1t affords me much pleas
ure to welcome you as envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary of his imperial
majesty, the shah, and to receive from your
hands the letters by which his majesty &C
credits you In that capacity. While in ac-
cepting those by which he recalls your hon.
ored predecessor, Gen. Isaac Khan, it is
equally gratifying to express my appre-
citation of his distinguished services and
my wishes for his welfare in the new mis-
sion to which he has been called.
'Widely separated as are the two coun-
tries and peoples by space, language and
traditions, I voice the sentiment of my
countrymen in assuring you of the keen
sympathy this younger commonwealth of
the west feels for the older and historically
renowned empire of the east. 1t is their
wish and mine, as it is that of his majesty,
to develop and make more intimate the
good relations which have been fostered of
late years by your predecessors. That you
will merit the personal esteem they en-
joyed and attain like success in your mis-
sion is my hope and WISH

Senator Brioe, Of York County, tho
author Of the aos under which the
.dispensary elections have been held,
gives some sound advice in ssgard to
the enforcement of the laws against
the sale Of liquor in .oounties that
have eeted out che dispensary. He
says that the county officials, whose
sworn duty it is TO enforce the law,
must see that the illicit traffic in
liquor is kept down, and that their
efforts must be backed by q healthy,
active. public sentiment among the
people. There is no excuse for levy
ing the one half mill tax 'ostensibly
to enforce Q law which simple Justice
and honesty and the Democratic prin-
soiple Of local government demand that
we enforce ourselves !.

Bonds Stolen From State Treasury.

An investigation OF tho official
records of the former bond clertt- n
the State Treasurer's Office, the result
Of which was made public q few days
ago, disclosed some sensational evi-
dence of graft. The state thus speaks
of the matter:
"There was a great deal OF astonish,
ment in the city when it was learned
that the State treasury had lost $lG,-
500 by error or by criminality. When
it was learned that o warrant had been
issued by o magistrate and had been
lodged with the sheriff for execution,
charging that Daniel Zimmerman is
guilty Of breach of trust with fraud
uient intent, there was even greater
surprise, and much regret was express
had been connected with such an Of
fense, justly or wrOngfully.
"Mr. Zimmerman had been the bond
clerk in tho Office of tho State treasur-
OF, and held that position from 1901
until 1901. 1t was during that period
that the fraudulent occurrences were
found otter great deal of investiga-
ton: The Rpccific charge is that wheE
bonds were brought in to be exchanged
for stocks, one o. more bonds would be
abstracted from the package and in
stead OF being cancelled would be sold
and an old bond or bonds Of prior date
would be dug up from the vaults aud
substituted III the bundles for cancel
lation 80 that in a cursory examination
it would appear that all of the bonds
in that that package were properly
cancelled.
"In this way bond and certificate
Of stock would both be in the hands of
innocent parties and the State paying
interest on both and obliged to pay
the principal at the expiration OF the
time specified-and of q reality the
bond had been redeemed by the State,
the stock having been in exchange
therefor.
"Mr. Zimmerman surrendered him
self to the officers of the law aud hae
been released on u $4,000 bond pend
ing his trial in the court"

GOTTSCHALK TELLS
OF TWO MURDERS
LAYS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES KILLING
ALL ON HARTMAN.
Confessed Murderer Blackens Memory
of His Dead Pal-Declares that Hart
man Killed the Butcher and Was
About to Kill Him When He Struck
Him with Club in Self-Defense.

"I had nothing whatever to do with
clared Edward Gottschalk in the Ram
sey county Jail yesterday, after hav..
ing pleaded guilty to the murder Of
Joseph Hartman, his pal, and, having
admitted his 4complicity in the killing
of Schindeldecker.
IT stood on the other side of Banfl
street while Hartman went in to rob
Schindeldecker. He came to my house
that morning and we had talked over
the plans for robbing Schindeldecker.
He proposed the plan and I agreed to
stand outside and watch the place while
he went in. He was to ask for eggs,
and when Schindeldecker went into the
icebox to get them he would lock him
in and take what there was in the till.
That was all that we talked of doing,
and [ didn't know what was going on
in the shop until Hartman came out
and told me that he had murdered him.
We then started west on Banfl street
to my house. Yes, he gave me, a little
of the. money. I don It remember just
how much. .. -
eff I had thought that there was
any danger of murder being done l
would not have had anything to do
with the robbery. but after it hap
pened l was scared. Sunday Hartman
and I went fishing at Pickerel lake,

me what was going to do the next
day. I said that I might do some fish
ing at the dam, and he said he might
be up there, too. That was all that
was said about it, and when I was on
my way UP to the dam Monday | met
Hartman and we fshed together that
afternoon. About II o'clock I asked
him to build a fire so that we could
cook some coffee. had some lunch
and offered half Of it to him, but he
would not take it and I ate it all. He
seemed to be nervous and out of sorts.
"When it was getting dark I no
ticed that Hartman had razor in his
hand and he got around back of me:
I thought he acted suspicious and
turned around to see what he was do
ing. He came at me and swung the
razor toward my throat. I jumped
back and picked up stick Of wood
and hit him in the head, and to make
sure that he would not be able to get
after me again I hit him once more. I
was so scared did not know just what
to do, but I wanted to get rid Of the
body and pulled out the two irons !
had brought up a week before. They
were on set line and I tied them
| around his ankles and threw him in
the river. Then came home.'
