another striking illustration, says the
London Globe. Last year a commission

which the Italian tobacco monopoly
was organized. The result was so sat

that it would be suitable for adoption

To Renln Huae lawsuit.

Omaha, Neb.-Thomas W. Lawson
announced recently that in a short
time now he would take the first step
in the smashing of the system.
This will take the form he said, of
an immense lawsuit in which 5000
policy-holders of the big insurance
companies will be joined as plaintiffs
with more than 1000 officials and mem
bers of the boards of directors as de-
PENDANTS.
This action" said Mr. Lawson,
will be one in which the policy-hol-

Heat May Last Some DAYS.

Washington.-Ho weather prevails
over the greater portion of the United
States according to the latest reports
received at the weather bureau,
Apparently there is no immediate
relief in sight, except through local
thunder showers in several scattered
sections.
Throughout the west the reports in
dicate increasing hot weather. The
humidity is high all along the At
lantic coast, from New England to
Florida, and the prospect is that it
will continue so two or three days,
with southeast to south winds.
In Washington July IL the maximum
temperature was SO degrees, but some
relief has been experienced from local
thunder storms. There were a number
of heat prostrations here, but so far as
reported none of them has resulted
fatally.

American Elan rrannled.

London, Ont.-An American flag was
torn down from in front of city hall
July IL and trampled under a, hundred
feet as the result of the remark made
by an American visitor at the Orange
mems demonstration.
About 800 Americans came over
from Michigan and during the day car
ried the stars and stripes through the
streets without unfavorable comment
being excited.
At night the Americans were gather
ed in front of hotel, when some one
cried ITO hi with Canada, she never
showed lis yet"
Instantly the American flag owned
by the Port Huron, Mich, lodge was
torn from where it waved in the breeze
and was ripped into shreds and tram
pied under the feet of an angry mob.
Port Huron Orangemen say they
did not resent it, as they believed the
insult to Canada was uncalled for.

Philadelphia.-Ste which threaten
radical action were taken recently at
meeting of representatives of $4,000
Pennsylvania members of the Royal
Arcanum at the Continental hotel.
Since the action of the supreme
council in increasing the assessment
rates, trouble has been brewing, and
the meeting recently, which was ar
ranged by William Wilhelm of Potts
Vile, was the elimination of the dis
satisfaction in this state.
1t was decided at the meeting to de-
mand a special meeting of the grand
councils of other states for calling q
special meeting of the supreme coun-
Gil to rescind the action of the May
meeting in regard to the increase in
the assessments.
Should the supreme council fail to
rescind it's action, it was declared to-
day that 10000 of the $4,000 members
in Pennsylvania will withdraw and
form a separate organization.

st. Petersburg. M. Muravieff has re-
signed his position as chief peace
plenipotentiary.
1t may be regarded as practically
certain that he will be replaced by M.
Witte, president of the committee of
ministers, the ablest man In Russia,
who all along has been considered the
one man pre-eminently qualified TO
undertake the dlfficult task ~ """"t'
s-Ns.-a EsOuCu WIN Japan.
However, though the emperor who
on two previous occasions flatly de-
clined to accept M. Witte, has
now indicated his readiness to make
the appointment the commission will
not be actually signed until Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff, who throughout
has been M. Whites warm supporter,
has had an audience of the emperor.
To that extent only the matter may
be regarded as unsettled, nothing be-
ing certain in Russia, as a prominent
diplomat remarked recently, until
the emperors signature has been af-
fixed.
M. Whites selection will undoubted-
ly be hailed as practical assurance Of
peace. While it would be a mistake to
denominate him as a peace-at-any-
price man, NJ Witte earnestly believes
that the struggle should be ended and
should be succeeded by an understand
ing between Russia and Japan which
would insure peace in the far east for
half century. Indeed, he is PERSONAL
ly believed to be in favor of Russo
Japanese alliance.
The conduct of the negotiations by
M. Witte, it is felt by the peace party
here, would inspire instant confidence
in Japan.
The only handicap under which NJ.
Witte labors is his lack Of familiarity
with the English language, as the on
ly foreign languages he speaks are
German and French.
M. Muravieffs retirement, ostensi-
bly, owing to reasons Of ill-health, Is
in reality due to the fact that the em-
peror became convinced that the nego-
tiations might be jeopardized if he
went to Washington.
M. Muravieff himself upon consldera-
ton, quite frankly recognized his
lack of diplomatic training and his
SIe1oS'-
tions involved, and with equal frank
ness expressed satisfaction that he had
been relieved.
Neither the Washington nor Toxic
government has yet been officially ad-.
vised of M. Muravieff's withdrawal, the
foreign Office probably preferring to
announce the name of his successor at
the same time
The change in the chief of the pleni-
potentiaries does not involve any post
ponement Of the date of sailing of the
peace mission for Washington.

Peary Nav Now Sail.

New York-With $4,000 sub
scribed July II toward his expedition
to reach the North pole, Robert e.
Peary announces that ha -uuill sail -this
week Tor the north. Com. Pearys
new Arctic ship, the Roosevelt, has
been waiting several days for sup
plies, which could not be bought on
account of lack of funds.
The polar expedition, which has
been in preparation since Oct. Is,
1904, has cost $15O,06O, including the
latest subscriptions. The entire
amount has been donated by Ameri-
club, whose members are anxious that
none but Americans have any hand
in this polar voyage.
Morris X. Jesup, president of the
club, subscribed $4,000, and Thomas
II. Hubbard gave a check for $4,000.
Mr.. Hubbard also offered to join with
any other believer" in the North pole
expedition in putting $4,000 into
fund to be divided among the mem
bers of the Peary party, In case they
succeed in reaching the pole and re-
turning to New York within 1S
months after their departure from
here.
In announcing that his ship is at
last ready, Commander Peary made
public for the first time a donation of
$4,000 by George Crocker in January
last.
The $4,000 received will be expend-
ed, Mr. Peary says, for hand-picked
coal and additional scientific instru-
ments. His party is complete with
the exception of "a surgeon.
Mrs. Peary will probably sail part
of the way with the explorer. From
here the Roosevelt will proceed to
Sydney, G. B., where the New York
crew will give up the ship to picked
crew, which is already waiting ON the
Erik, coal ship, which will accom-
pany the Roosevelt to latitude 70. The
Erik will then return south, bringing
Mrs. PeaTy with her.

Officers on RoJestVensky's Fleet Knew
Their Vessels Were Doomed.
Boston.-Last Wednesday afternoon
the big German steamship Bethania,
came into port from Hamburg, Ger
many, with her holds filled with cargo
for Boston and Baltimore.
Interest attaches to the arrival of the
Bethania because of the fact that she
was the last of the German vessels TO
leave the Russian feet before it was
annihilated by the Japanese. She car
ried cargo of more than 5000 tons OF
coal from Cardiff for the bunkers of
the Russian warships, and accompan-
led the fleet from Madagascar to a
point near where the great battle was
fought

last ton of coal to the Russians she

The officers Of the Bethania were on
friendly terms with the officers of the
war vessels, and they grieved for the
men whose lives had been sacrificed
They said that every officer in the
Russian feet knew that their vessels
were going to destruction, yet they
never faltered.
The Russian ships were in poor con-
dition and the crews and officers were
not properly trained. There was a
scarcity of officers in the Russian fleet,
cyD 40 NJ
al officers from the ranks of its mer-
chant marine. These officers did not
agree with the regular naval officers,
and the result was that there was dis
sension on board nearly every ship.
The crews were principally conscripts,
and were very deficient,
There was no question, however, re-
garding the bravery of the officers and
men, and they went to their doom
without a murmur.
Capt Gronmeyer, in reply to ques-
tions regarding the alleged violation
of the French neutrality by the Rus
sian fleet, said that the vessels were
always anchored outside the three
mile limit, and therefore were outside
French jurisdiction.

Sank TO the Bottom,

Bennington, Vt.-Marsh Phillips, 20
years of age, was drowned in Lake
Paran at North Bennington Wednes-
day evening after supper. The young
man was bathing with several 9TH
ers.
The lake is good sized sheet Of
water, it's source of supply being most
ly from cold springs in the bottom.
The water is always cold. 1t is sup
posed that young Phillips got over
one of these springs, became chilled
through and was drawn to the bottom
by an eddy. The body did not rise
after it went down and 1t was three
quarters of an hour before it could
be brought to the surface.
