HIS SPREE WAS COSTLY
a Harbeson Man, However, Succeeded
in Recovering a Portion of
His $94.

On Tuesday Gus. Kopple, of Harbeson
came to town and loaded up with whiskey
saws the Milton Times. After dark he be-
come so drunk that he had TO be assisted
in mis- carriage. Some time later he dis
covered that his pocket-book, containing
ss4 was missing. He returned to town
next morning and did a little detective
work. with the result that Louis Fox
was arrested and taken before Squire
Collins.
It was brought out at the trial that
Fox, who has been out of employment
for sometime, had gotten three s. bills
changed early Wednesday morning. Lafe
Brittingham testified that he entered
Samuel Smiths house, where Fox board
ed, and under the pillow Of the bed upon
which Fox lay sleeping found a roll of
notes-eleven S bills aud four 81 bills.
Kopple testified that his roll consisted OF
sixteen 50 bill, one $40 bill and balance in
81 bills.
Fox denied all knowledge of the rob
berry and said he received 80 bill through
the mail on Monday. This bill he says ne
got a merchant TO change, but where he
got the other two $5 bills he could not ex-
plain. He was held under $500 bail for his
appearance at court. In default Of bail
he was committed to jail.

SOLDIERS SPARED FATHER eoPoN
Priest Leading Workmen Not Struck
BY Bullets.

BY Bullets.
ST. Petersburg Jan. 23.-There was
a very dramatic scene at the Narva
Gate when Father Gopon. in golden
vestments, bearing aloft an ikon and
ilanked by two clergymen carrying reli-
gious banners, approached at the head
of a procession of 5000 workmen. The
troops were drawn up across the en-
trance. Several times an officer called
upon the procession TO stop. but Father
Gopon did not falter. Then an order
was given to fire, first with blank car
tridges. Two volleys rang out, hut the
line still did not waver Then. with
seeming reluctance, an officer gave the
command to load with ball, and the
next volley was followed by shriekc
and cries of the wounded. AS the Cos
sacks followed up the volley with a
charge, the workmen fled before them,
leaving about 100 dead or wounded. It
was evident that the soldiers deliber-
ately spared Father Gopon. One of the
clergymen by his side was wounded,
but he escaped untouched and hid be-
hind a wall until the Cossacks passed
and he was. then spirited away by
workmen.
Comment on the action Of the troops
and authorities is very bitter and sar-
castle remarks are made that officers
are braver against the defenseless
public than against the Japanese, and
that ammunition may be scarce in the
Far East. but is too plentiful here"

A workman who was introduced to

and another letter extolling the Mos

 MAKING NEW STATES.
 recommend that Indian Territory and Oklahoma be admitted as one zona be admitted as one state. Thero is no obligation upon us to treat territo- rial subdivisions, which are matters of convenience only, as binding us on the question of admission to state hood. Nothing has taken up more time in the congress during the past few years than the question as to the statehood to be granted to the four territories above mentioned, and after careful consideration of all that has been developed in the discussions of the question, l recommend that they be immediately admitted as two states. There is no justification for further delay, and the advisabiIity of making the four territories into two states has been clearly established.
 In some of the territories the !egis- lative assemblies issue licenses for gambling. The congress ohould by law forbid this practice, the harmful re- suIts of which are obvious at glance.
 THE PANAMA CANAL.
 The treaty between the United States and the Republic of Panama, under which the construction of the Panama canal was made possible, went into effect with its ratification by the United States senate on Feb ruary p, 1904. The canal properties of the French Canal company were transferred to the United States on April 23, 1904, on payment of $40,000,- GOO to that company. On April 1, 1905, the commission was organized, and it now consists of Theodore T. Shonts, chairman. Charles E. Magoon, Benjamin M. Harrod, Rear Admiral Mordecai T. Endicott, Brig. Gen. Pe- ter c. Hains, and Col. Oswald H. Ernst. John F. Stevens was appointed chief engineer on July 1 last. Active work in canal construction, mainly preparatory, has been in progress for less than a year and half. During that period two points about the ca nal have ceased to be open to debate First, the question of route; the canal will be built on the isthmus of Pana- ma. Second, the question of feasibil- ity; there are no physical obstacles on this route that American engineer ing skill will not be able to overcome without serious difficulty, or that will prevent the completion of the canal within a reasonable time and at a reas- enable cost This is virtually the unan- uimous testimony of the engineers who have investigated the matter for tn government.
 The point which remains unsettled is the question of type, whether the cana shall be one of several locks above sea level, or at sea level with single tide lock. On this point l hope to lay be- fore congress at an early day the find ings of the advisory board of American and European engineers, that at my invitation have been considering the subject, together with the report of the commission thereon; and such com ments thereon or recommendations iT reference thereto as may seem 'neces. sary.
 What $ needed now and without delay is an appropriation by the con- gross to meet the current and accru- ing expenses of the commission. The first appropriation of s10.000,000 ou' of the S135, ,0O0,OOO authorized by the Spooner act, was made three years ago
