Piece Of Red lane.

Brooklyn, N. Y May 26.-The as
sistant secretary of the navy, Mr..
Newberry, has addressed a letter to
the commandant of the navy yard to
be handed to Frank DAVIS. kgunner's
mate on duty at the Brooklyn navy
yard, coYmending him for gallantry
which he displayed on the afternoon

his own life. Davis jumped overheard
and succeeded after a severe struggle

who had leaped from the wharf with
suicidal intent The case was brought
to the attention of the navy depart
ment at the time by Lieutenant Conn
mander Craven, executive officer of
the Granite state, of the naval militia

concluding his letter of commenda-
ton: THE department takes great
pleasure in commencing you for your
gallant act, and regrets that SO long
a time was allowed to elapse before
the matter was brought 60 it's atten-
ton" This latter remark is inter-
preted as a severe rebuke of the red
tape methods In the department.
which have ben repeatedly criticised
by Mr.. Newberry and other officials.

Japs Have a Corner
on ManChurian Trade
ENGLISH PROTEST AGAINST THE
JAPANESE METHODS.
The Little Brown Fellows Have
Crowded Out European Trade in
Manchuria and Have Everything
Their Own Way.

Washington, May 26.-The eastern
mail brings news of friction between
the English merchants and the Jap
anese officials resulting from the diff
ficulty experienced by the former in
obtaining access to the markets of
Manchuria. 1t is charged that the
Japanese seized the opportunity af-
forded by their military occupancy of
the country to concentrate all of the
trade in the hands of their own mer-
chants and that not only is the coun-
try glntted with goods brought in by
the Japanese to point which makes
It practically impossible to find open
ings for European goods, but through
their control of transportation facili-
ties in Manchuria and Corea, the Jap
anese officials are able to discriminate
against traders of other nationalities
In one place the Chinese themselves
complain that the japanese have built
a bridge across one of the principal
rivers so low that it can no longer be
used by the Chinese boats with the re-
suit that traffic is diverted entirely to
the Japanese owned railroads.

Cleveland, o., May 26.-A total of
nineteen witnesses were called by in
terstate Commerce Commissioners
Prouty and Clements In the Standard
Oil inquiry yesterday Testimony
bordering on the sensational was OBJ
tained from several witnesses. That
of George l.. Lane of Mansfield, o.,
former employee Of the Standard
Oil Co, was regarded as particularly
important. According to his evidence
Lane was for about fourteen months,
in 1901 and 1902. employed by the
Standard oil Co. for the particular
purpose of driving all the independent
oil peddlers In dozen or more princi-

The Demands Of the Lower House Of the Russian
Parliament Were Denied by Premier Goremykin

st. Petersburg, May 26.--Expecta-
tion that Premier Goryemkin's state
ment of the governments programme
would be utterly unfavorable caused
great excitement at the opening of
the lower house of parliament this
afternoon. Both the constitutional
democrats and the labor groups, in
anticipation of its being unsatisfac-
tory, drafted resolutions expressing
their lack of confidence in the govern
ment which they prepared to move as
soon as reading is finished.
Premier Goremykin's speech, which
was unexpectedly firm in tone produc-
ed such a vivid impression that a
conflict is now considered inevitable.
TO the demands made in the ad-
dress of the lower house in reply to
the speech from the throne, it was al
most complete non -possimus
1t reiterated that general amnesty
was impossible but promised the re-
lease as rapidly as possible of those
who had been arrested by the admin
istrative order.

JUNE 20 DANGEROUS.
Chicago Seeress Predicts the Earth
Will Be Shaken Up.

Chicago, May 26.---Like the warning
voice of the ancient Sibyl crying, BE
ware the Ides of March," comes the
prophecy of Nine Sera, a Chicago
seeress.
Il foresaw some awful catastrophe
In the distance" said the seeress from
her dim -draped" den in Randolph
street. Then came the San Francisco
earthquake, with its train of fire. and
Nine. Sera says she has "made good.
Beware June 49," was the danger
signal that madam displayed today
from her temple of palmistry."
This warning comes in conjunction
with the prediction of Horace John
son, the New England prophet, who
foresaw earthquakes, electrical dis
turbances and pestilence due yester-
day and today.
Mime. Sera blames the Forthcoming
catacIysms on the planets. There is
terrible mixup in the vast planetary
realms, she says, and things simply
have got to happen. There's nothing
to do then, but get out your rabbits
foot and wait.
As Nine. Sera sat brooding in her
den wandering in fancy over star
strewn yistas, through spaces sprinSl-
ed with star dust, to the rims of the
cold, dim worlds vibrating in the plan
etary waste, she made this prophecy:
THE earth will now be visited by
a supreme upheavaI. The earthquake
which began Jan. 9 will continue dur
ing the year. On June 29 culmina-
ton Of the most dangerous position Of
the planets relative to the earth is to
occur. In what manner this disturbed
bali will pass the conjunction of Uran-
US and Capricorn can be only conjec-
tured. Seismic disturbances may be
the least OF the disasters to occur"

The Grain Commission
Demand Investigation
SENATOR M'cuMBER's REMARKS
HAVE RlLED THEM.
Chairman Staples Says All the Trou-
Bile Is Due to the Crumpton Figures
Which Have Since Been Disoredted
BY the Author.

st. Paul, May 26.-The state railway
and warehouse commission announced
today that it intended to demand an
investigation OF the charges made by
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
in the United States senate yesterday
that the grain inspection department
of Minneapolis worked against the
farmers of North Dakota. Commits
sioner Staples said today:
I'VE are preparing a statement and
will forward copies to Senators Clapp
and Nelson of Minnesota with the re-
qisest that they demand an inRestiga-
ton OF the charges. We do not intend
to allow a slur Of that kind to stand
against this department. These accu-
sations have been so frequent of late
that we cannot remain silent any lon
ger.
"The basis of the charges" said Mr..
Staples. seems to be figures eman-
ating from Mr.. Crumpton, a former
grain dealer of Superior and now
member of the board of trade of Du-
luth. They cover period of ten years
from 1892 that more grain Is shipped
out of the state than is received, some
thing like 3O,O0O,OO0 bushels. The trou-
BILE with these figures are that they
are taken from the registers report
at Duluth and do not in any way show
grain taken from the mills. Had he
used the weighmaster's figures, he
would have found that in three years
alone, 1898, "a and 95 over 10000, 900
bushels found their way to the mills.
It is this discrepancy in Crumpton's
figures that has caused all the trouble.
He has since discredited his own fig
ures."
