ouR SLIGHT INTEREST.

Washington, June 13.-HavinS nc great interest in Morocco, the state department is not particularly anxious to participate in an international con ference for the consideration of the Moroccan question. However, should all the powers signatory to the Ma drid convention of 1880 join such Q conference. and an invitation be eX- tended to the United States to partici- pate in its deliberations, this govern rnent might accept the invitation.
 The position taken here, as stated in the London dispatch is that the pref erence of the United States is not to take part unless such action would be satisfactory to France. So far, no in timation that the United States will be asked to join an international con- ference has been received, and the only information tue depaI uncut has is con tained in the newspapers. This gov erpment has no political, and only a slight commercial interest in the Af- rican country. In a measure, 1t recoR- nized French influence in Morocco when it sought that governments aid more than a year ago in the rescue Of IGl Perdicaris, an American citizen, who had been captured by bandits there.

THE RAILROAD WINS
In the Condemnation Proceedings
 Against E. B. Perrin.

Prescott, AIfz., June 13.-(SpeciaL)- The condemnation suit of the Grand Canyon Railway company against E. B. Perrin was argued before Judge Sloan in chambers today, T. J. Norton, solicitor for the Santa Fe lines appear ing for the plaintiff and E. M. Doe of Flagstaff and Walter Bennett of Phoe- nix for the defendant. The plaintiff was given judgment.
 The suit was for the possession of about forty acres or land near Will iams for a cinder pit, the cinders, a volcanic deposit, to be used in ballast ing the track of the plaintiff. The de- fendant contended that under the sta tues of the territory the plaintiff could not secure possession of the land by condemnation process. The court how ever held that the land was as much sub iect to condemnation as a right of way since tt is to be used for purposes of construction.

WASHINGTON'S DEFENSE
The Opening Last Night of the Mimic
 War.

Fort Hunt, Va, June 13-The first fired by one of the eight-inch batteries of Fort Hunt at 9:11 o'clock tonight The target was one of the units of Ad- miral Dicl1ins' squadron. which ap- peared to be of the cruiser type. She had just rounded MarshaHs Point about three miles below the fort. pro ceeding slowly up the river. That she was an enemy was indicated by a signal from one of the forts 60-inch searchlights.
 After the initial fire the shooting be- came general, and six minutes were takea up by the Fort Washington TO- inch batteries. Not a reply came from the warship, and when the required number of shots from the fort had been fired to constructively put the ship out of action. the firing ceased.
 The offending craft passed calmly un stream during the cessation of the fire from the forts. and when she reached the mine fields, which are a little be- low the forts, boats were lowered and manned. The harvest of mines was quickly gathered, but not before the rapid-fire guns of the forts and occa- sionally an 1Sinch gun had scored on the illumined target at closer range. The ship returned the fire, and her guns spluttered and flashed at lively rate for several minutes.
 Fort observers could not identify the ship by name, although she was thought to be the converted gunbOat Siren or the converted gunboat Hor- net. Conditions for defense were ideal The moon shone brightly, and not a breath of air was stirring. Again the fire ceased and the craft slowly turned and f1Oated leisurely down stream, leaving the zone of action at 10:15 o'clock. The approach of the cruiser was observed first by the two scout boats of Fort Washington.

JUDGE SATTERwHITE's DEATH
Committed Suicide at Tucson Yester-
 day by Shooting.

The town was shocked to learn yes terday morning that Thomas D. Sat terWhite of Tucson had committed sui eide by shooting. The first word of the tragedy came in a telephone mes sage from Judge Satterwhite's clerk to his son, Raymond Satterwhite, chief clerk in the office of the surveyor gen eral. Soon after that George Christ received a telephone message from Selim Franklin informing him of the death of Judge Satterwhite.
 His clerk found him in his office, dead, about 10 o'clock, and the shoot ing had occurred not long before the horrifying discovery was made.
 Judge Satterwhite had been in i'll health for about one year and a half, and for some weeks he had been troubled with insomnia. which grew worse day by day. It is thought that his mind became unsettled by his physical sufferings and that he felt he could stand 1t no longer
 His son Raymond left last night for Tucson. Besides his widow, there are left three sons. of whom Raymond is the eldest. Clinton, another son, lives at San Francisco. The youngest is Thomas D. six years of age
 Judge Satterwhite was about fifty three years of age and a native of Ten nessee. He had been engaged in the practice of law at Tucson for nearly fifteen years and was one of the best known attorneys in the territory. Dur ing the latter part of the administra- tion of Governor L. c. Hughes he was attorney general of the territory.
 For the last three or four years he had paid less attention to the practice of law than formerly. and was en- gagged quite extensively in mining in Mexico. He maintained, though, his law offices at Tucson, and is said to lave had one of the finest law libraries in the southwest.
 Judge Satterwhite was a warm hearted man and had a high sense of honor, which compelled the respect of all who knew him. He was of rather quick temper and inclined to aggres- siveness, but he was a fair antagonist.

Assassination of Premier
 by a Gambler
ATHENS IS IN MOURNING
The Murderer Sought Revenge for the Premier's Stringent Measures Resulting in the Closing of the Games-Saved From LynChins.

Athens, Greece. Iuae 13.-Theodore r. Delyannis, the popular premier of Greece, was stabbed and mortally wounded by a professional gambler named Cherakaris at the main entrance of the chamber of deputies at D. m i today. The premier died within three hours. The assassin, who was imme- diately arrested, said he committed the deed in revenge for the stringent mea- sures taken by Premier Delyannis 1 against the gambling houses, all of which recently were closed.
 The premier arrived at the entrance of the chamber in a carriage. Chera- karis approached, saluted the premier and opened the carriage door. Tie premier was in the act of thanking Cherakaris for his courtesy when the
 gambler plunged a long dagger into Nj Delyannis' abdomen, inflicting a fright fuI wound.
 The murderer was immediately over- powered by attendants. Medical as sistance was quickly secured and the wounded statesman was taken to a Red Cross station where an operation was performed in an effort to stop an internal hemmOrhage. This was un- successful, and the premier died at 7:30 o'clock
 The news spread quickly and it would
 be impossible to describe the popular evidences of the sorrow or anger of the | crowd. who attempted to lynch the as-
 sassin. The attempt was prevented by the gendarmes. who rushed their pris- oner from the building to the prison.
 + is estimated that 10000 persons witnessed the removal of the body of the premier from the Red Cross station to his late residence. Members of the cabinet and of the chamber of depu- ties were among the crowd, many of them weeping.
 King George who is at Tatoi, was in- formed of the assassination and an nOunced that he would at once return to Athens. Investigation by the police shows tkat Cherakaris was recently li- berated from prison, having been sen fenced to eighteen years for the mur der of his wife.

WESTERN LEAGUE.
THE STRIKE OBSCURED
A Grand Jury Investigation Occupy
 ing the Stage Front.

Chicago, June 13.-The teamsters' strike proper has almost been lost sight of the attention of both sides to the controversy being occupied more with charges of bribery in connection with the labor unions in Chicago than with the real issue. Within the next twentyfOur hours, it was said tonight, the history of the secret transactions of labor unions in Chicago for the past four years will be made public, and that this information will duplicate many labor leaders who, it is asserted, have accepted bribes to call off strikes.
 The man who is expected to give this information is John c. Driscoll, former secretary of the Coal Team Owners union, who has been the in- termediarX between the employers and teamsters' union in this city for the past four years. Tomorrow morning, Driscoll says he will appear before the grand jury with documentary evil dence showing that several labor lead CTS have been receiving large sums of money through Driscoll, which, it is declared by the latter the employers were forced to pay to prevent their employees being called out on strike. To substantiate his statements, Dris- coll tonight displayed bank check book, the stubs of which, he said, cor responded to amounts of money paid to these labor leaders. This handbook will be offered in his testimony before the grand jury.
 The method used by Driscoll, ac- cording to his own statements, was this: An employer or an organization of employers who were affected by a strike, or who were likely to be- would call and ask hiHl to use his influence to bring about an adjustment of the difficulty. The fees. according to Driscoll, paid union men ranged from $1OO to thousands of dollars, the az gregate being estimated by him at $SO,OO0. Driscol declares that he never received a dollar of this money for his efforts in averting trouble, ex- cept from the organization of which he was acting as secretary.

The Warning Powers Have Been Drawn Together
PEACE DEVELOPMENTS
Russia and Japan not Yet in Direct Communication but Are Using the White House -T The "HOuSe in the Woods" May Be the Place.

Washington. June 13.-Ambassador Jusserand returned tonight from West Point, where he went to deliver an ad- dress. At his embassy he found a note from President Roosevelt requesting him to call at the White House. He reached the presidents home at 9: 15 D. m and remained with the president until 11. o'clock To a representative of the Associated Press Ambassador Jusserand after Q conference said it would be .discourteous to the president for him to discuss for publication the nature of his interview.
 Direct communication between St. I etersburg and Tolxio has not yet been established The White House is yet a medium for all communication between the two capitals. Important details re- Inair. to be agreed upon before the plen- ipotentiaries of the belligerents can meet to discuss means of ending the war There is adequate authority for the statement that there is no actual hitch in the preliminary negotiations. Progress is being made but it may be several days or even longer before all the details for the meeting can be de- fniteIy fixed.
 The negotiations have progressed enough for the belligerents to be dis cussing, through the president as the channel of communication. a suitable place. the number of negotiatOrs and. what is more, important than either of these. a common basis on which the plenipotentiaries may meet.
 Russia was thoroughly opposed to the suggestion of any place in the far east for a meeting point. and it is not believed that JaDan's opposition to Paris was at all unexpected in St. Pe- tersburg Russia las shown strong preference for a European capital. la pans wsh is to secure a point free from outside influences. Direct negotiation with Russia has been her demand throughout and hence her original pre- ference for a point in the far east. The Hague, it is believed would prove fair ly acceptable to both.

give Norway that place within the union to which she can rightly lay claim. My royal duty to the union re- quires me to endeavor to uphold it's legal basis wher by so doing I come into opposition with the Norwegian national feeling.
 ''The law on which I took oath. and which has regard for the welfare of the united kingdoms, determined my decision on the consular question. but here I was met not only by the refusal of the Norwegian council of state to countersign that decision, but by res ignation of it's members. When I de- clined to accept the resignation of the council, it declared threateningly that any Norwegian who co-Operated in carrying out my decision would at the same moment be without a fatherland I was therefore placed in the position of either myself breaking the riksakt which l was sworn to uphold or per init myself to stand without council ors.
 "The council, after attempting to violate the constitution and to render void a decision of the king of Norway legally given, resigned office. and the king of Norway was deprived of coun cilors. The Storthing approved this breach of the constitution, and by a revolutionary proceeding declared that the legitimate king of Norway had ceased to regin, and that the union oi the two kingdoms was dissolved

A Quiet Fourth.

The people of Edgerton have had an
opportunity to see what the great na-
tional holiday without 4th of July eel
ebration is like. They have seen the
day when nearly everybody went away
somewhere to spend their money and re-
turn tired out and not certain whether
they had good time or not. A few left
behind have seen independence day in
Edgerton quiet as cemetery, its streets
deserted and stores closed. But the rec
ords at the depot also show something
more-that more than 500 people took
advantage of the excursion rates to visit
some place where there were attractions
on the 4th. How much Edgerton money
do you think these people have spent
out of town that could have been kept
at home? Don't let this occur again
Don't let another 4th pass without Gel
ebrating the holiday at home.
Both the morning trains to GAINESVILLE
were crowded with several hundred who
went to the county seat to witness the
big burlesque circus parade in which
the Edgerton band was feature
Many others went to Stoughton and
Milton Junction where celebrations were
held, or to Madison to the Barnum cir
Gus. Others attended the races at Deer
field and Libertyville. ILL.,, which with
those who drove out to the more quiet
doings at Fulton, Lake Koshkonong and
Albion Prairie, all helped to take out OF
town those bent on celebrating the holi
day. Under such circumstances it is
not strange the town should escape from
the many accidents that follow the dis
charge of the usual fireworks so neces
sary to the proper observance of the oc
casion. But two trivial things of this
character requiring the attention of a
physician have come to notice. San
Wileman's little son had finger torn by
splinter from cap of toy pistol and
one of Arthur Clarke's boys was also in
jured slightly in the hand.
In the races at Deerield on the 4th
the principal event was the contest be-
tween Ruth Conway and Col. Diston in
the free-for- all and the result was SINH
lar to that in Edgerton last week. Car
mans little mare won in straight heats
Joe COINS Col. Diston second Kacie T
won in the 2:4O class and Beauty in the
800 class, both owned by DR.. Nelson.
