LIBERALS TICKLED
CHANGE OF BRITISH PLANS THE
CAUSE.
The British Channel Fleet Will Not
Make the Proposed Visit to the Rus
sian Port-Several Reasons Assigned
for the Failure.

St Petersburg, July 14.-The liber-
ais are jubilant at the postponement of
the visit of the British channel fleet
to Russian waters, which they regard
as being an open recognition of the
fact that public sentiment in both
countries is hostile to such an official
exchange of courtesies while the peo-
pie and the government of Russia are
at war.
Although the official announcement
took pains to show that the decision TO
postpone the visit was reached by
common accord, it does not reveal the
real motive, which in the case of Rus
sia was not so much the Difference to
public opinion as the admiralty's sense
of humiliation at the sorry spectacle
the remnants of Russia's navy would
cut in the presence of the powerful
British fleet and the fear that it's ar
rival at Cronstadt would mark anoth-
er mutinous outbreak on the part OF
the sailors and the garrison of that
fortress, evidence of the propaganda
for such an outbreak, spread by the
revolutionists of Cronstadt, having
been discovered by the admiralty here.
The British government, although 1t
really proposed the visit, was only too
glad to postpone it on account of the
storm Of indignation raised by the an
ti-Jewish outbreak at Bialystok

Almost StranqIed.

Minot, N. D., July 14.-What came
near being fatal accident occurred at
the home Of j. II. Druey in Charlie
bois addition, Yesterday afternoon.
Robert, Mr. Druey's 6-year-old son,
was playing about the barn with a
number of other boys and in some UNI
accountable manner he became en-
tangled in n rope that was used to
suspend a plank dividing one of the
stalls. The rope was wrapped around
the lads neck and when Mr.. Druey,
who was attracted to the place by the
cries of the children, arrived ON the
scene, he found the boy nearly stran-
gled and all but unconscious. Had it
not been for the timely appearance of
Mr., Druey the lad would have un-
doubtedly succumbed.

OTHER STATES ARE EXPECTED o
TO TAKE UP THE WORK.

New York, July 14.-The tenth an
nual convention of the National Asso-
citation Of State Dairy and Food de-
partments, (the interstate pure food
commission) to be held at Hartford,
Conn, July II, 1S, 10 and 20, it was
said here today, promises to be the
most important conference of its kind
ever held in this country following, as
it will, Immediately upon the passage
of the first federal pure food law.
Manufacturers of every class and
kind have been invited and are expect
ed to attend in large numbers.
In New York the impression prevails
that decision will be reached at this
meeting as to whether or not the spirit
of federal law is to be incorporated
into the administration of the various
state food departments.
On this decision it is said the real
service of the national legislation de-
pends.
e. f. Ladd, food commissioner OF
North Dakota, is among those by
whom papers will be read and from
the national prominence he has Sc
cured great interest is aroused in what
he may say, as North Dakota and its
enforcement of the pure food law is
pointed to as model for older states

Winston Salem, N. c., July 14.-Is-
sac Lyerly, his wife and three young
est children were murdered in their
home one mile east of Barber's juno
tion early today by unknown parties
who afterward robbed the house and
then set fire to the bed on which Mr..

Two older daughters, who were
sleeping upstairs, We're awakened and
rushed down just in time to exiting

from destruction.
1t is thought the robbers killed their
victims with clubs.
Lyerly was a wealthy merchant and
farmer and the family was recog-
nized as one of the best in that sec
tion.
AS soon as the news of the murder
and robbery was received here Deputy
Sheriff Hutchins was requested to &c
to the scene with his bloodhounds. He
left on a special train A later re-

TAFT And HIS TRIP
SECRETARY OF WAR MAY VISIT
PHILIPPINES.
His. Trip There on the Occasion of the
Opening of the First Native Assem-

the Justiceship.

Washington, July 14.-In answer to
ia direct question. as to whether or
not he intended to visit the Philippine
islands next spring and if so whether
that decision might be taken as an
indication that he intended to decline
the offer of a place on the supreme
bench, Secretary Taft today said that
he had received an invitation from
the Filipinos to be present at the
opening Of the first native assembly
in June. So far, he has not come to
any decision but it might be stated
that whether he accepted the invita-
tion or not that the decision would
have no effect whatever upon his po-
litical or judicial future. In other
words he might as justice visit the is-
lands quite as well as while he oc-
cupied the office of secretary of war.

Minot, N. d., July IA rather ex-
traordinary discovery was made by
T.. P. Weatherwax yesterday afternoon.
1t appears that Mr.. Weatherwax was
digging post holes, preparatory TO
erecting a fence on his residence prop
erty, when he unearthed a box about
eighteen inches in length, which, when
opened, was found TO contain the body
of an infant of very diminutive size.
The find was Immediately reported TO
the police and an investigation follow
ed which brought TO light the fact that
the remains were those Of a premature
child born to Mr.. and Mrs. Chris
Amundson, who now reside at Ryder,
but who, at the time of the child's
birth, nearly three years ago, were
residents of this city. The parents
were in poor circumstances at the
time and decided to bury the little one
where 1t was found by Mr.. Weather
wax. the property belonging to them
at the time. The remains were re- in
TERED by the authorities.

RUSSIAN PREMIERSHIP.
Il Seems to Be Going Begging

st. Petersburg, July 14s-The Asso-
ciated Press learns from reliable
source that Emperor Nicholas has Of
fered the premiership to Dmitri Ship
off, but the latter refused the post on
the ground that he is not member
of the majority party in parliament.
He is said to have told the czar that
the only possible cabinet In the pres
ent crisis is one composed of constitu-
tional democrats. He holds, therefore
that he cannot even be member Of
such cabinet.
Prominent constitutional democrats
think the premiership win not be of

believed that he will be unable to
form q cabinet despite the fact that
he Is scheduled for place in the COM

who was released from the Cook coun-

presented a short time later the unique
spectacle of a man trying to break

Just after he was given his liberty,

chief deputy that he be incarcerated
Immediately within the walls of the
prison

quest and Gourdain started back to
Chicago with the avowed intention OK
instituting mandamus proceedings to
compel the authorities to put him in
prison at once so that he might begin
without delay serving his four and a
half year sentence for operating a lot

Gourdain later explained his AYERS

not do 1t in the county jail. My OBJ
