As the time for the republican state

Affects the senatorial fight begins to look
right interesting. Up to Monday there had

and claims lightweight OF the uninstructed.
Norris Brown has l24 instructed and The
Bee gives him thirty Of the uninstructed
delegates. making his total 1854 as against
Rosewater's 1886 II this estimate be cor
rect and the same proportion be kept up,
Rosewater will be easy winner We hope,
both for Douglas county and Rosewater
personally, that It is correct forecast OF
the coming result on the senatorship.

MONNETT IS DROPPED.
Ceases to Be Special Counsel for Inter-
state Commission.

Washington, July 1O.-Frank S. Mon
nett, former attorney general of Ohio,
who attained much fame as trust
buster has been dismissed from the
service of the~iDterstate commerce COM
mission. He was engaged as a special
expert assistant to aid the commission
In securing evidence and arranging
cases against the Standard Oil COM
pany.
When Chairman Knapp of the inter
state commerce commission was asked
regarding the removal of Mr.. Monnett.
he said:
The service for which Mr.. Monnett
was engaged has been performed. He
has been paid in full and his connection
has terminated"
Mr. Knapp denied that any influence
had been exerted to secure the removal
of Mr. Monnett. He expressed himself
as well satisfied with the services rem
dered by Mr. Monnett in connection
with the oil hearings in Ohio.
The retirement of Mr. Monnett is at
tracing much attention here because
of Mr.. Tillman's charges made in pre-
senting the last conference report of
the Hepburn railroad rate bill, from
which he dissented on account Of the
victory won by the Standard Oil
company
He declared on the floor of the SEN
ate that the Standard oil influence had
affected everybody from the president
down, and went on to say it would ex-
tend even to former Attorney General
Monnetf who had been brought here
from Ohio to assist the interstate COM
merce commission. He said some
people had come here and made com
plants against Mr.. Monnett and that
he would soon be dropped.
Senator Foraker closely questioned
him as to why he made this predic-
ton. Mr. TilIman replied that he knew
nothing definite. only that persistent
rumors said that a promise had beer
given to remove Mr.. Monnett The
early verifcation Of Mr.. Tillman's
nronhecv has come true

TURKEY STILL KICKS.
strongly Opposed to American Iega-
ton Being Made an Embassy.

Constantinople, July 10.-Fresh in
structions have been sent to the Turk
ish minister at Washington, ,Chekib Bey,
to renew his efforts to dissuade the
authorities at Washington from carry
ing out the proposed elevation of the
legation here to the status of an en-
bassy.
II appears that when the Turkish
government was first notified that the
United States desired to make the
change Chekib Bey was ordered to op-
pose the project but replied that he
was unable to shake the determination
of the state department. He has now
been instructed to inform that depart
ment that the proposed action requires
4 previous agreement between the two
countries which has not been effected
in the present case.
VIII Do No Good
Washington, July 1G=The state de-
partment has not yet been advised of
the existence of any opposition on the
part of the Turkish government to the
elevation of the American legation at
Constantinople into an embassy. OF
course If the sultan declines to receive
Mr.. Leischman in the capacity Of am
bassador under the credentials he
now holds, he is acting perfectly with
in his rights But it is certain that
such a course will not tend to the
strengthening of the relations between
America and Turkey because, in the
view of the officials here. it will
amount to a distinct discrimination
against the United States and in favor
of the great European powers. now

BRAZIL CUTS TARIFF.
Makes Reduction of 30 Per Cent. on
Many American Articles.

Washington, July 1O.=Secretary
Roots proposed visit to South Amer
Tea has begun to bear fruit Brazil has
Just announced a new tariff which
reduces the duty on -four and many
other American exports 20 per cent,
and is designed to promote the de-
velopment of commercial interchange
between this country and Brazil.
Condensed milk, rubber seals
watches, varnishes. typewriters,
pianos, ice boxes, scales, windmills
and inks (excepting writing inks) are
other articles on which the 20 per
cent. reduction on tariff is granted.
But -four is the most important COM
modify in the list and the duties on
breadstuffs have long been the sub
ject of dispute between Brazil and the
United States. Failure to reduce the
duty on -four almost caused a breach
of the relations between the two coun-
tries many years ago. and because OF
the expectation of large quantities of
-four to Brazil the change in duty
favorable to this country is Of great
importance.

Food Factories in England as Bad as
Our Packing Houses.

London, July 10.-Britishers who
have been so virtuous recently over
the Chicago packing revelations were
today confronted with the annual re-
port of the inspector of factories and
work shops which shows that the con
ditions here are quite as revolving as
anything alleged of the western pack
ing center. Dirty factories and dis
gusting methods seem to be the rule
instead of the exception. Jam fac
tories, bakeries and sausage makers
are all censured as being equally filthy
and the description Of one fits most OF
the others.
Here is a report on a typical jam
factory:
1.-The boiling room lay be-
tween the yard and the stable and the
horse reached the latter through the
boiling room. The sanitary aecommo-
dation was hardly separated from the
covered jam were kept and the floors
were dirty and undrained.1
Another factory inspector found jam
pots being washed in liquid like dark
soup, which snelled aboninably-"

that the water was changed s'abou'

ROJESTVENSKY FREED.
The Admiral Who Surrendered in Sea

miral Rojestvensky, whose trial on the
charge Of surrendering to the enemy
after the battle OF the sea of Japan be
gan before a court martial here July
had deliberated for nearly 10 hours.
Four officers of the torpedo boat de-
strOyer Bedovoi, who were placed on
trial with the admiral, were found
guilty of having premeditatedly sur
rendered the Bedovoi and all were
condemned to death by shooting, but
on account of extenuating circum-
to commute the sentences Of the four
officers to dismissal from the service
and to be deprived OF certain rights
which they would otherwise enjoy.
Findings of the Court.
St Petersburg, July 10.=The full
report of the Cronstadt court martial
acquits Admiral Rojestvensky on the
ground that he was not in his full
senses and therefore was not ac-
countable for what transpired at the
time of the surrender. Some of the
officers who were tried with Rojest-
vensky We're acquitted, their guilt not
being proved.

the case of Captain Declongue, chief
of Rojestvensky's staff; Captain Barn
off, of the torpedo destroyer Bedovi;
and F'ilipovsky and Leontieff, who
were found guilty and sentenced tc
be shot, were in accordance with the
regulations and based on the physica
and mental decentralization produced
by the long voyage and shock of the
disaster in battle. They We're also
credited with desire to save the life
of Rojestvensky.

ROSE Is VICTOR.
United States Supreme Court
Takes a Hand.
Justice Brewer Grants Mayor
Writ of Error.
IN HIGHEST COURT.
His Case WIN BE Heard By
Supreme Tribunal.
Meanwhile He will Serve Out
Term as Mayor.
IN HIGHEST COURT.

Kansas City, Kan, July 10.-Mayor
William W. Rose seems to have Won
his fight with the Kansas supreme
court, and viii hold his Office for the
remainder of his term. in spite of the
fact that he has been ousted from Of
fee and fined $1,000 for contempt OF
court.
Rose on Monday afternoon was
granted writ of error by Justice Dav-
id ]. Brewer of the supreme court OF
the United States, which win have the
effect Of allowing Rose to appeal his
case. Before the supreme court viii
have had time to decide the issues in
volved the chances are that Roses
term will have expired.
The writ of error was secured by
John H. Atwood Of Leavenworth, who
made q flying trip to Hot Springs. Ark,
and intercepted Justice Brewer, who WAS
on his way to Texarkana-
The writ of error which Justice Brew
er signed is said to have been exactly
the same as the one which was de-
MED last Friday by the judges of the
Kansas supreme court. William Hop
per, AtwoOd's law partner, came to To-
peka Friday. and argued the case be-
fore the Kansas justices. The conten-
ton was that the judgment of the kan
sas supreme court in flning Rose 81 900
for contempt of court violated the con-
stitution of the United States, and that
the supreme court of the United States.
The seven justices of the Kansas SUI
preme court agreed that there was no
constitutional question involved. jus
tice Brewer overturns the ruling Of the
seven Kansas judges, and says that
Rose can have hearing before the
highest tribunal in the country. and the
writ of error acts as a stay to all pro-
ceeGings.
Since he was fined s., 900 for contempt,
Mayor Rose has been laying rather low.
He has called at his official Office and
opened his mail but has done nothing
else to indicate that he was still mayor
/ of Kansas City. He was waiting to
see what success Atwood would have
with the supreme court proceedings. A
man who knows the situation in the
I Kansas supreme court said a few days
ago that if Rose should attempt to
discharge the duties OF his office. he
would be Immediately arrested. hrouefz
before the supreme court, and sent II
jail. Now Mayor Rose is on top. and
can snap his fingers IN the faces of the
Kansas judges.
Mayor Rose announced last night
I when he heard that the writ Of error
had been granted that he would at once
resume the full duties of his official
position. He had nothing further to
say about his intentions. 1t is not like
/ ly that he can collect much in the way
of licenses from the saloons as long as
Trickett keeps up his fight.
