WOMAN'S CORPSE
FOUND IN TRUNK
Murderer Attempts to Sink the
Body in Puget Sound by
Means of Rocks.

Seattle, Sept 22.-The body of an I'M
known girl about IS years old was found
in a trunk today on the beach at South
AIki. about two and a half miles south
of Elliott Bay. The girl had evidently
been strangled, and had been dead from
two to five days In the trunk were the
girls clothing. the clothing of man,
and two letters, one of which may lead
to her identity This letter was that
of a sister to a brother. 1t was writ
ten on a letterhead of Frank COVing-
ton, Fuel Feed and Hauling, St. Paul
Mimi" and was signed Edith" It
bears date of April II, 1905, and was en-
closed in a worn and unaddresSed en-
YelOpe. 1t Was written to Frank Gov
ington- The other letter had no signifi-
canoe, so far could be deciphered.
The police have no theory as TO the
murder. though they are inclined to the
belief that the trunk was thrown into
the sound from d boat. 1t was weighted
with rocks, but the murderer did not
weight it sufficiently to prevent it from
floatin-.
When two men in small launch dis
covered it at O'Clock this morning they
drew it upon the beach. In the tray were
two rocks Lifting the tray, they saw
d Womans mead. An examination of the
trunk revealed, hidden under a lot of
clothes, the body of a girl There was
a gag in her mouth. An autopsy re-
vealed no marks of violence. except that
she had been strangled. No motive Is
disclosed for the crime
The st. Paul police have been Eoti-
fled to search that city for COvington
in the hope of identifying the body

MORE FIGHTING
WITH TRIBESMEN
French and Natives in Morocco
Fail to Agree to Cessation
of HoStiIities.

Casablanca, Sept. 22.-Negotiations for
the cessation of hOstilitieS having failed,
General Drude today resumed the often
sive and burned the Moorish camps at
Sid Brahim, south of Casabianca. and
dispersed the tribesmen, who offered but
little resistance. These operations were
chiefly notable for a brilliant forced
march of the French troops, who covered
forty kilometers inside of twelve hours.
The expedition, consisting of 2,000 in
fdntry, with a detail OF cavalry, artillery
and native auXiliaries left camp before
dawn and formed into two hollow squares,
one behind the other. In this formation
they marched some distance under the
cover of darkness and unobserved by the
tribesmen. A heavy morning sea-fog came
up at daybreak and forced q half hour
halt, during which shots fired by the
advance guards gave the alarm to the
enemy.
The tribesmen came up in large num-
bers, but a vigorous attack by the first
squad soon dispersed them No further
stand was made by the enemy during the
march. although scattered groups of
horsemen harrassed the French flanks.
After the destruction of the camp the
tribesmen returned to the attack, a troop
of cavalry repeliing a spirited charge of
the Moorish hOrsemen. The French then
abandoned their defensive formation and
the column returned to Casablanca. Their
losses were one killed and ten wounded.

VIEW IN LONDON.
Meeting Regarded In Great Britain
as Eiasco

London, Sept 22.-To call the interua-
uonal peace conference to The Hague a
fiasco would be merely to repeat the pub
Tic opinion of the whole of Europe Its
meetings have .ong since ceased to COM
mand attention and the newspapers are
giving them less and less space The
cosmopolitan throng which appeared at
Wilhelmina's capital, some I'm official
capacity and others representing society
and other fads, has dwindied to a COM
parative handful of officials.
Government circles, however. are trying
to find some excuse for the existence Of
the British delegation at The Hague. They
summarize the accomplishments of the
conference as follows:
The conversion of Germany TO the prin-
ciples of arbitration; the recognition OF the
rights of neutrals; the institution of an
international prize court. the discovery by
Europe of South Americas influence in
International affairs. and through South
Americas initiative. the adjustment of
forcible collection of debts: and the HUI
manizing of war in many directions.
Further. they claim that the air has
been cleared on other points and say:
We know where we stand and where the
points of danger lie"

Pekin. Sept. 22-Wu Ting Fang, of
whom the native press for the past fort
night has spoken as the successor to
Sir Chentung LANG Cheng as Chinese

fairs. one Of the most lucrative positions
in the Chinese foreign service.

to be improbable. that Lang Ton Yen

WI Ting Fang owes his recall from

America such as LANG Ton Yen and
Sir Chentung LANG Cheng for home
services and the complimentary manner
in which the American press has spoken
of him.

EVERYBODY HAS A CHANCE.

At any rate the Barton Develop.
ment association is getting a lot Of
free advertising.
AS stated in the MONITOR several
weeks ago Orleans county did not get
a "look in" even, in the 1905 "Beauti
full Vermont" issued by the state.
The MONITOR TOOK the matter up and
criticised the management rather
severely, but found later that owing
TO the small appropriation made by
the state for this booklet the secre-
tary could not within the appropria-
tion send a photographer to each
county, neither could he hire a local
man to take photographs, but that he
was dependent entirely on gratuitous
photos; furthermore we found Mr..
Aitken had written many letters to
parties in the towns of Orleans
county telling them of the project
-aod asking for pictures and informa-
tion, but that in no case did he get
the desired material. The Barton
Development association then saw its
chance and when material for the
1907 brochure was solicited said asso-
citation saw that plenty of local views
were at hand, mostly already made
into half tones as they appear in the
1907 booklet. Thus our "look inn in
the 1907 edition.
In the 1905 edition Windsor county
received most of the descriptive
matter and at least one-third the
views-that was her year, but 19OI
was Orleans county year. Next year

In these days when farmers are

is consequently at the front, it is a
matter of quite little surprise, I'M
less one stops to think of it, that in
dustrial, as we'll as agricultural pur-
suits, cut quite figure in our bust
ness life.

report tells US that Vermont stanCs

manufacture of WOODEN goods pro per
having passed New Jersey in the race
for industrial supremacy in the lasi
five years.
The prominence given agricultural
pursuits in Vermont does not pre-
clude great things ahead of US in the
development and maintenance oil
great mandatory enterprises. In
deed, if we mistake not, Vermont's
boom will come along these lines
