FRENCH N EN-
S TEAL A
MARCH
During a Lull in the Proceed.
ings France Clements the
Mediterranean Powers.

Algeciras, Jan. 1S.-During lull in
the discussions of the international
conference, France has taken the eff
fective means to cement the union of
the Mediterranean powers. This had
been threatened by Spain's resentment
of the French encroachment on Span
ish military posts near Ceuta, on the
Moroccan coast.
Recently band of adventurous
Frenchmen established Headquarters
at Chica, near Melilla. Their position
is exceptionally advantageous, COM
mercially and stragetically, as Chica
commands vast lagoon penetrating
into northern Morocco. The French
government has disclaimed RESPONSE
bility and now has sent a war ship
there to drive out the alleged free
hooters. This greatly pleases Spain.
The open door policy is accepted en-
Enthusiastically by all, especially by
France. M. Revolt, head of the
French mission, said: Let us have
not only the commercial open door,
but the open door in a larger sense,
open to the progress of civilization,
to work, to prosperity and to educa-
tion."

SEARCHING
FOR BURNED
BODIES
Authorities Resume Investiga-
tion Of the Tragedy Of
the Aver Family.

Pembroke, N. H., Jan. 18.-The au-
thorities Of Merrimack county and Of
Pembroke today resumed the investi-
cation Of the tragedy In which seven
members Of the Aver family were VIC
Tins and Charles Aver took his own
life yesterday. After daylight many
of the town people visited the ruins
of the farm house at North Pembroke,
which for three years had been occu-
pied by Aver, his immediate family
and his mother-in-law, Mrs Isaac
Lakeman. The ruins cooled during
the night and careful search was
Instituted for the remains OF the VIC
Tins. Two charred trunks. one Of
which is supposed to be that of Mrs.
Lakeman, and another of one child
we're found. 81
The authorities believe that Aver
used an axe or some other noiseless
weapon, as they have learned that the
neighbors heard no pistol shots or dis
stturbance of any kind from the Aver
home previous to the fire. They do
not expect the details of the actual
commission of the crime will ever be
known The impression prevails that
| Ayers had been brooding over the
fancied financial wrongs in the settle
ment Of the estate of his wife's
father.

questions came thick as hail in a
North Dakota hail storm, and some
protests against the points of the
speech were made by the farmers who
proved that they were very much
alive on the question. The principal
objection was to cross-breeding, which
Prof. Shaw advised in answer to a
a question, and while much of the
trouble arose over misunderstanding
of the facts, the discussion was de-
cidedly warm.

4 Breaks Away From a Herd
;nd i Pursued By Cowboys,
policemen and Citizens at
Brealneck, Speed. 5,.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-A Texas steer
created much excitement on the south
side Of the city this afternoon. It was
the leading figure In q grand chase
which commenced at the stock yards,
was continued through some Of. the
leading residence streets. along Grand
boulevard, through Washington park,
and as far as the suburb OF Grand
Crossing, where 1t was finally captured
after 1t had fallen from exhaustion, ten
miles from the starting point. The
pursuing party was made up Of patrol
wagons filled with policemen, q troop
of cowboys and a small army of citi-
zen volunteers that varied In num-
bers at different points In the pursuit,
and ran. all the way from threesto four
to FIVE hundred. 4
The steer was one of drove that
was being taken to the stock yards,
and 1t broke from the herd and ran.
Two cowboys took after It, and they.
were Joined in short time by police
men on foot and in patrol wagons.
The officers on foot amounted to little
when It came to catching up with the
steer, but the wagons were more per-
sistent. After a run Of two miles
along Grand boulevard the animal ran
into Washington park and hid in some
bushes. Two policemen managed to
draw nigh enough to seize the ami
malls tail, but 1t pulled them into the
park lagoon and, being in danger of
drowning, the officers let go. A nuns
ber Of other cowboys caught up with.
the chase at this point and followed
by a galloping squad of cavalry, the
patrol wagons and small army of
citizens, the steer tore through the
park and ran out to the Midway
Plaizance, taking its way across q
small pond on which several hundred
boys and girls were skating. "A num-
ber Of these had narrow escapes from
being run down by the animal The
chase then continued ON a. straight
course to Grand Crossing, where the
animal fell down and could run no
more. 1T was then lassoed and led
back to the stock yards. III s3si

WELEAD THE
WORLD IN
MILEAGE
Nearly Twelve Billion Dollars
Have Been Expended in
Railroad Building in the
United States.

Washington, Jan. 1s.-The United
States leads the world both in the
present mileage and the recent growth
of its railways. This is shown in the
report on "the transportation routes
and system Of the world" issued by
the bureau of statistics of the depart.
ment of commerce and labor. 1t
points out that of a total railway mile
age of the world, aggregating in 1904,
$4,000 miles. there were 211,O74
miles in the United States. The
growth of railroads in the United
States has been very rapid. Beginning
in 1885 with 1000 miles the number
steadily grew and in decade, 1866
1875, 1t doubled, and then rapidly
came up to the present number which
represents an outlay of eleven and
two-thirds billions of dollars out of
an aggregate cost of thirty-seven bill
lions for the entire world.

POLITICS IN GEORGIA.
Negro Suffrage and Railroad Freight
Rates the Important Issues.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 1S.-Though the
state primary is still several months
distant the political campaign in Geor-
gia has already reached the sizzling
point. Seldom If ever before has
gubernatorial race in this state been
SO full of general interest, fact due
in large measure to the unusual prom
inence of the candidates. Hoke Smith
and Clark Howell, both of them edi-
tors and of national prominence in
politics, are the two foremost in the
race. A third aspirant who, has more
recently SHE'D his castor into the
arena is Col. James NJ. Smith, of Ogle-
thorpe county. The dominant issues
of the campaign have to do with negro
disfranchisement and railroad freight
rates.

Russia is Experiencing a New
Sensation Today in Conduct
ing Elections for the First
Time.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 1S.-The holt
day truce in Russian politics is over
and the new political parties are mus
tering their strength for Russia's first
all-important ELECTORAL campaigns.
The opening guns will be fired today
when the delegates of the constitu-
tional democrats will be assembled to
discuss their elaborate platform. This
party represents the advanced liberal
'opinions of the zemstvo majority and
the platform will closely follow the
resolutions of the last zemstvo con-
gress. The allied moderate parties
which are standing on the basis of the
manifesto of October 80 will also be
early in the field. There will be
conference Of the leaders from various
parts of the empire here this week.
This coalition which embraces the
party of law and order, the October
lists and five lesser factions has
chosen the name of Constitutional
MOnarchists and will nominate can

singly they are too weak to meet the
we'll organized constitutional demo-
Gratis or even the social democrats and
social revolutionists q
Though officially they are on record
as being in favor of boycotting the
national assembly, and continuing the
armed revolt they have awakened to
the necessity for securing represen-
tation in the coming national assem-
bly,. and are concentrating their atten-
tion on securing full registration
from the labor, professional and
socialistic organizations.
With the League of Leagues they
have formed campaign committees In
each election district in order to get
out the vote. In consequence of the
great rush to register the period of
registration which expired yesterday
gas been extended for two weeks. I'm
{. ler the new ELECTORAL plan by which
the wOrkmen's representatives will be
merged into general electoral commits
sions in the provinces and cities there
is little chance of an absolute majority
for the socialists but the leaders hope
to get enough electors to hold the bal
ance Of power and force an alliance
and division of seats with the con-
stitutional democrats.
during the holidays the pacification
OF the country has been steadily going
forward. By an unsparing use of the
military and wholesale arrests of the
leaders of the fighting organizations
the revolutiOnists have been driven
under ground and have been forced
to return to their old methods of
assassination. Not a day passes with
out reports of the murder of obnoxious
officials in several cities. So far st.
Petersburg has escaped owing to the
decentralization of the terrorists here
and the activity of the police. In spite
Of the closest watch it is always pos
sible that an emmissary of the ter
rorist brotherhood may arrive un-
noticed from another locality and at
tempt to execute sentences passed on
Interior Minister Durnovo. and other
leaders of the work of repression.

A BRIDE FOR PRINCE.
Arthur of COnnaught May Select His
Own and Thus Annoy Relatives.

London, Jan. 1S.-Court circles are
much interested just now in the selec-
tion of bride for Prince Arthur Of
Connaught. The young prince is now
nearly twenty-three, and it is consid-
cred time that he was married and
settled. Nothing will be definitely
settled until Prince Arthur returns
from his present mission to Japan.
The names of various eligible prin-
cesses are being scrutinized, how
ever. and it is regarded as certain that
formal news of his betrothal will be
forthcoming during the summer. It
is understood that Prince Arthur has
definite views of his own in the mat
ter, and that despite the well-meaning
efforts of his family, he will choose
his bride for himself. Further, If ru-
NOR may be relied upon, he has al
ready made his choice.
