Interviewing a chinaman.

remember one distinguished Chi nese who gave the newspaper men a big surprise. We knew that he was a high officer and that he had come to this country on a mission of impor- tance. but not one of us dreamed of getting from him more than a per functory interview through one of his interpreters. Through a secretary we conveyed to the big man our desire for an interview. He talked with his sec retary in Chinese for a few moments. and then the secretary in halting Eng fish invited us to accompany him and the chief to the officers suit.

EMPHASIZES IN GALE
The Atlantic Squadron Is Caught ! In Furious Storm.
OFFICER AND SEAMAN KILLED
Lieutenant Purse of the Illinois and Bluejaeket of the Minnesota Meet Death-Des Moines and Glacier Are injured In Collision.

Boston, Oct. 1. During storm, when at times the wind blew at the rate of seventy miles an hour, the north Atlantic fleet, at anchor off Cape Cod, was in serious danger.
 Lieutenant John H Purse of the. bat tleship Illinois was dashed against a stanchion and died of his injuries, a seaman, Carroll, was washed over board from the battleship Minnesota and lost, and the cruiser Des Moines was damaged by being run down by the supply ship Glacier. which had dragged her anchor. Both vessels { were sent to the Boston navy yard for repairs.
 For more than twenty hours the great ships were tumbled in the big seas which surged into the bay, and eight vessels lost anchors. Boatswain F. H. Bottchal is at the navy hospital in Chelsea on the dangerous list with a fractured skull and other injuries, and three sailors are in the sick bay of the Illinois.
 IhC htNi dN Out Nhc threatened with being driven ashore and was saved only by skillful sea manship of the officers and heroic work of the crews.
 Steam Saves Vessels.
 Previous to signals foretelling the storm the fleet had been engaged in target practice at the scene of the re- cent accident to the battIeship Geor- gla. in which three officers and eight men lost their lives. When the storm signals were set the fleet took. every precaution to meet the storm. When 1t first broke, with the worst gales and the heaviest rain of the year. besides the ordinary anchors all ground tackle, including the heavy kedge anchors. was firmly set. Steam was kept up to highest pressure. and this prevent ed many of the heaviest ships from breaking their moorings.
 The fleet was riding at anchor in Cape Cod bay. about five miles of the entrance to Barnstable harbOr and the Sandy Neck lighthouse. a location which seemed safe. Tn the first fury of the storm all the ships held to their aactEs. The first trouble came when tfs supply ship Glacier broke from her starboard anchor. and her force of full steam ahead caused her to turn 60 she was driven by the wind toward the Des Moines. anchored on her port The first crash was slight. but the wind caused her to foul the entire length of the battIeship.

FINE OUTLOOK
FOR STATE FAIR
MANY IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE
MILWAUKEE EXHIBIT
Railroads May Not Grant a Lower
Rate than 2 Gents

Unless the railroads change their Of
fetal mind, there will be no special
rate from state points to Milwaukee
during the state fair of 1907.
Secretary John M. True has received
notification to this effect from the
Western Passenger association.
The association had agreed to grant
patrons of the fair rate of three cents
a mile for the round trip, equivalent
to II cents a mile.
Then the 2-cent rate law was passed
by the Legislature, and the railroads
reconsidered the fair rate.
A meeting was held in Milwaukee
yesterday but nothing lower than a
two-cent rate has been promised by
the railroads but some reduction may
vet be secured. The rate of two cents
is the same as the old rate cf one and a
third fare for the round trip. This
should not discourage visitors because
there is no rate below two cents.
Mr.. True reports that the improve
ments are many and that the prospects
for q great exhibition is excellent.

GOVERNMENT ORDERS REDUCTION
Railroads to Receive 100000 Less
for Hauling The Mails

The postoffice department at Wash
ington has ordered the pay of the rail
roads cut million dollars. In this
connection it is limited that there may
be a scandal if all the facts are made
public. The new order affects hun
dreds of mail routes all over the coun-
try, the government holding that the
mail can be carried in smaller cars.
On the other hand, the railroads in
sist that it is the province of the Post
office Department to designate the
cars which shall be used on the mail
routes and that the roads are now US
ing such cars as were actually ordered
by the department.
Department officials admit that this
is true, but insist that more space is
being paid for by the department than
is actually needed in the transporta-
ton of the mails, but it is not stated
whether this condition is the result of
poor judgment or otherwise. The new
order is the result of the work of 125
private detectives which the Postoffice
Department placed on the work about
six months ago. Their reports show
that in hundreds of cases the govern
ment was paying for more space than
is necessary and the Postmaster Gen
eral therefore ordered a reduction.
Besides the regular compensation
based upon tonnage which the rail-
roads receive for transporting the mails
they also receive car mileage for cars
over thirty feet in length.
The Postoffice Department has de-
cided to begin weighing the mail on
all routes in the country early in
October with a view of furnishing
Congress with data asked for. In order
to do so the governments will have to
provide thousands of additional scales.

ASSAULT AND BATTERY CASE
John Lawsing and William Stoner of
Merrimack Get Into Lively Dis
cussion on Depot Platform.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The case of the state VS.. John Law
sing of Merrimack which has been be-
fore the court of Justice andre for the
past two days after change of venue
from the court of Justice Shuts, was
decided yesterday for the state and the
defendant was fined 81 and costs which
amounted to about $50. The begin
ming of the trouble in which the de-
fendant was charged with assault and
battery arose from suit in the court
of Justice Shuts between John Law
sing and John r. Stoner, son of Will
liam Stoner, July II. This case was
decided in favor of Stoner.
1t seems that after this case Mr..
Lawsing had some words with Stoner
at Baraboo before they went home
that afternoon. When they arrived
at Merrimack Mr.. Lawsing told Will
liam Stoner that he had helped his
son out in the case just finished. One
WORD led to another until both Stoner
and LaWslng came to blows, clinched
and fell over a cultivator on the depot
platform, both parties being somewhat
injured by the contest. In the testi-
mony taken at the trial there was
dispute as to who struck the first blow.
The witnesses for the state were:
William Stoner, w. E. Cooper, Mr..
and Mrs. David Stoner, Ed. Cantwell
and Byron and Charles Odekirk all of
for the defense; Richard
Barrow, and Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
