The speech made by Governor
Elrod recently before the AS
ISOLATION of Railroad Commis-
sioners at Deadwood was fully
as brilliant as his efforts usually
are. He was very compliment
tary to our congressman who
were present. He said no state
had truer or more faithful serv-
ants in congress than this state,
adding that that was true of
every state. He told the railway
commissioners that the great
danger that confronts the Ameri-
can people is the so-called re-
formers" He closed by very
felicitously urging them to be
more faithful in the future than
they had been in the past.

Is it Gamble?

Railroad rate regulation is go
ing to be a burning issue in this
state in the republican party
from this time on until the "hon-
est" caucuses are duly and Off
cially called. The opening gun
in this fight was fired by Senator
Gamble at Canton this week at
the Old Settlers association of
Lincoln county, in the presence
of 1000 people. The senator de-
clared himself for the regulation
of railroad rates by the general
government, the policy of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, against which
the machine has declared war.
1t will be a merry fight, and the
amusing feature of it will be to
watch the machine organs try to
deceive the rank and file into be.
lieving that they are with the
president and not opposed to
what he really advocates. 1t will
require some exceedingly
smooth work to hoodwink the
people into serving the railroads
while they think they are giving
loyal support to the reform pol
icy of the president. Can they
do it?
In Iowa the same fight is being
waged but under able leadership.
South Dakota republican reform
ers are not fortunate in having a
Cummings or La Toilette to lead
them. The hour approaches
but where is the man?

The Real World Power

1t is pretty generally concea-
ed that when the financial mag
mates of the world, whose debt
ors are nations, think that count
ries which chance to be engaged
in war with each other have bor-
rowed all that is safe to loan
them, peace must necessarily
follow. It is certain now that
each of the belligerants IN the
Orient had exhausted its credit.
It is even possible that Roosevelt
had received hints from repre-
sentatives of each nation that
they were ready to submit to a
little friendly coercion in the dl-
rection of a peace tribunal.
Peace was a forgone conclusion
as soon as the conference was
agreed upon, and all the nice
diplomatic sparring was a play.
Roosevelt, the peacemaker, the
ENJOYS plenipotentiary, and back
of them the car and the mlkado
were all but the agencies through
which the terms were arranged
of a peace which had been de-
creed by the supreme world
power, the money changers.

WILD PANIC ON A STEAMER.
From Three to Six Persons Probably
Drowned in Havana Harbor.

Havana, Dec. Ga wild panic on
board the French line steamer La
Champagne yesterday afternoon re
suited in the injury of six and the
possible drowning of from three to six
persons. The Champagne arrived
from French and Spanish ports with
$50 cabin and ! 400 steerage passen-
gers, LOO of whom were bound for
Havana and 800 for Mexico
The steamship had a small cargo,
but little coal, and after anchoring
and discharging the cabin passengers
she began coaling. At tho time she
was slightly listed and the crowd of
Spanish immigrants swarming to her
side to watch the lighters, caused her
to list more and TO take on a quantity
of water in her open coal ports. Some
of the lighter men cried out that the
ship was sinking and the Frightened i'm
migrants struggled and fought for a
chance TO escape Some 400 men and
women jumped to the lighters and a
score of men into the water.

DEPEW RESIGNS AS A DIRECTOR.
It IS Reported that President Mccall,
of the New York Life, Will Also
Step Down and Out.

New York, Dec. THE resignation
of United States Senator Chauncey NJ.
Depew as a director of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society was one Of the
most interesting developments yester-
day in the situation growing out of the
life insurance investigation. The SEN
ators resignation was rendered to
President Paul Morton, of the Equi-
table Society, in brief note, in which
no reason for it was stated.
The report was published last night
that President John A. Mccall, of the
New York Life Insurance Co., will re
sign from that company before the
next annual meeting Of the trustees in
April, and that if he does not tender
his resignation at a meeting of the
trustees next Wednesday he will re
frain only at the request of the trus,
tees, who, the report said, do not wish
TO have to elect a temporary presi-
dent. The published report also stated
that the presidency of the New York
Life Insurance Co. has been offered to
John Claflin, trustee of that com
pany, and that Mr.. Clahin has refused
to accept the office.
The attention of the legislative in
vesttgating committee was devoted
yesterday chiefly to the affairs Of the
Security Mutual Life Insurance Co, of
BiEghamton, n. Y, whose president.
Charles NJ. TurncI, was on the witness
stand most of the day.

Expiates Her Crime on
the SCaffOId.
AT WINDSOR, VT.
Few Persons Witnessed the Hanging
and She was Calm and Brave
to the Last Moment.

Windsor, VT, Dec. 9.-Without a
tremor and without a word, Mrs Mary
Mabel Rogers yesterday marched to
her death on the gallOws at the state
prison here and paid the penalty of
numbering her husband, Marcus Rog-
erS, at Bennington, on August 13, 1902.
To all appearances Mrs. Rogers was
the calmest person in the chamber OF
death. She faced her end with the
same Indifference that had marked
her demeanor ever since her arrest,
more than three years ago.
Although the woman was not of
ficially pronounced dead until If min
utes and 80 seconds after the trap was
sprung she evidently suffered no pain.
Her neck was broken and she lost
consciousness instantly the drop fell.
The execution took place after the
woman had been twice reprieved on
account of appeals made in her case
by her counsel and after the United
States supreme court refused to take
action in the case.
Only few persons witnessed the
hanging, the number being restricted
by the laws of Vermont.
The career of Mrs. Rogers has been
a remarkable one. A wife at 1G years
of age and a murderess at 10, she was
but % on the day of her death. Tgnor-
ant and deprayed she still had a
strange influence on those she met.
and her admirers were many In 1902,
having won the affections Of three.
men, she encompassed the death of
her husband. Marcus H. Rogers, with
the aid of another admireY. Leon Per
ham. To the end that she might marry
a third lover, Maurice Knapp. Per-
ham confessed and is serving a life
sentence here. Mrs. Rogers was born
in HoOsiCk Falls, n. Y, and when
married removed to Bennington, VT.
where the murder was committed.

SKULL FOUND IN A CELLAR.
'GhastIy Discovery Made by New York
City Police.

New York, Dec. G.-While the police
of the tenderloin precinct yesterday
were examining a house at 112 West
Twenty sixth street, from which the
occupants recently We're dispossessed
under police proceedings, they found a
human skull in pile of rubbish in the
cellar. The bone was crushed at one
point and several teeth were missing.
Further search was made and ham
mer, which, the police say has stains
upon it, such as might have been made
by blood, was found.
When additional detectives were
summoned the floor Of the cellar was
torn up and 20 human bones found.
The police discovered also a pail
which they declared bears evidence of
having contained quick lime. The
mystery of the finding of the skull and
bones is heightened by the testimony
of a sailor whose shop is opposite the
house. He told the police that last
Christmas evening he heard shots in
front Of his place and upon going out,
saw two men carrying a third man

MADE PLEA IN HIS OWN BEHALF.
Albert 7. Patrick, Convicted of Muir
der, Sentenced to Die in the
Electric Chair.

New York, Dec. 7.--After making a
final personal plea to the court in his
own behalf. Albert T. Patrick, the law
yer, convicted of the murder of Will
liam Marsh Rice, last night was SEN
fenced to die in the electric chair in
the week beginning January %, next.
Sentence was pronounced by Justice
Rogers in the criminal branch of the
state supreme court. Notice at once
was given that an appeal to the SUI
preme court of the United States on a
writ of error will be taken. The appli-
cation for the writ, it is said will act
as a stay of execution. Patrick was
taken back to Sing Sing last night.
After being brought to this city
from Sing Sing, Patrick listened twice
yesterday afternoon to a rehearsal of
all the details of his case by the dis
trict attorney, and it was long past
nightfall when, apparently feeling the
court was about to decide against him,
he arose to speak in his own behalf.
His action caused stir in the
crowded court room and the lawyers
in the case held a hurried consulta-
ton. Patrick spoke for nearly 10 min
utes.
Patrick urged that there was no di-
rect evidence that Rice had been
killed and reiterated his claim that he
had been convicted on manufactured
evidence. Justice Rogers then or
dered Patrick to stand up and SEN

Portland, Ore. Dec 9.-United
States Senator John H. Mitchell died
at the Good Samaritan hospital in this
city Friday, death resulting from com
plications which followed the removal
of four teeth at a dental Office Thurs
day morning. A hemorrhage of un-
usual severity followed the removal OF
the teeth and, despite the application
of the most powerful styptics known
to dental science, the flow of blooG
could not be stayed.
The senator's condition soon be
came alarming and it was determined
to remove him to the hospital. When
the senator reached the hospital he
was very weak and it became appar.
ent that unless the flow of blood was
soon stopped he would die.

physical condition, rapidly succumbed
