EASTERLY. TESTIFIES

Boise, Idaho, June 2S.-When court re-
convened after recess in the Haywood
tricl Attorney barrow asked and re-
ceiv, permission to recall Engineer
Rush who testified that union and nom
union miners alike rode on the train
when the attempt was made to wreck it.
There was no cross examination.
Boyce then resumed the stand and
told further of the organization and pol
icies of the Western Federation of Min
ers while he was president.
A long argument arose between At
torney Hawley for the state and OAR
row for the defense as to the latitude of
Mr.. Boyce's testimony as to the general
attitude of the mine owners toward the
Western Federation of Miners. Mr.. OAR
row contended that the defense expected
to prove there was a general conspiracy
on the part of the mine owners backed
up by the Citizens alliances in the sew
eral communities, to tear down and
abolish the federation.
Mr.. Hawley declared that evidence as
to a counter conspiracy might be adj
miSSible if it tended to show that the
mine owners in any particular COM
munity were responsible for the crimes
Miners.
FIR. Hawley asserted there was moth
ing to show there was a general mine
owners association. He also contended
that isolated cases could not be taken
as proving a conspiracy.
The prosecution, he said, had intro
duced a co-conspirator to show a con-
spiracy on the part of the federation
leaders and had then connected up $50
lated incidents proving the con-
spiracy. He thought the defense should
proceed in a similar course. The ques-
ton involved in the discussion was as to
the obstacles placed in the way of or
ganizing the federation by the mine
owners. Judge Wood allowed the wit
ness to testify as to this. although he
said the proper foundation had not been
laid

 Filed.

St Paul, Minn., Sept. 10.-In the hearing before Judge Lochren In the United States district court to-day, E. S. Robert, attorney for the Northern Pacific Railway company, asked leave to file an amended petition in the rate fight now being made by the railroads of Minnesota against the two cent passenger rate and reduced freight rate order by the state legislature Yesterday afternoon Mir. Robert cited authorities to show that the regulation of commerce and transportation rest ed wholly with congress. He admitted that the state had right to regulate interstate commerce and transporta- ton but beyond the confines of the state the states authority ceased,
 Judge Lochren heard MT. Robert through and then informed him that he had no case.
 The attorneys for the railroads as the result of a conference and O change of tactics, made the request to Ale an amended petition, which was granted. The amended petition al- leges confiscation. This had been pleaded in regard to passenger rates, but now the same Is alleged in regard to commodity rates, and it is along these lines that tho case will be fought.

MCCARTHY APPOINTED
Receives Commission as 1908 Enroll
 ing Officer.

Military Enrolling Officer George F. Mccarthy of the democratic con- tlngent, last night received his comS mission of appointment for the year 1908 and at once set about calling to- gether his deputies from the fifteen wards, who with him made the en- rollment this year, to talk over what they would do about collecting the money for the work. The bill order ing MT. Mccarthy paid for the work which was passed by the board of all dermen at the same time as the one giving him the appointment was ve- toed by the mayor,
 MT. Mccarthy stated last night that he would see the matter to finish now The mayors sanction of his ap- pointment for next year he maintained only strengthened his claim that he held over for this year. He says that if he was legally appointed this time for next year then his appointment of 1906 held good until his successor was chosen to him. As the work had to be started before MT. Sculley was elected by the republicans MT, McCar- thy contends that he should make the enrolment as he did, Before MT. sculley gets paid MT. Mccarthy added he would take the matter to the courts.

.LySITAUIA AT 25 KNOTS SPEED IS CALCULATED Confidently Expected, from Re- ported Progress, to Win
 the Record.

New York, Sept. 10-That the epoch making Lusitania is ploughing the mid Atlantic tonight at clip of 25 S-4 knots an hour. occasionally, perhaps. squirting to a 26-knot speed, is the cal eulation based on press cable reports rom London. Wireless communication with the great turbine steamer is hour " expected by the local agents of the Cunard line. This will come by way ot cape Race, and under favorable con- dltlons should be received not later than early tomorrow. Communication several hundred miles east of Cape Race IS common, and 1t is said that the Lusitania had hoped by the use of par ticuiarly powerful apparatus to pick up the NeWfoundland wireless station at dlStanceof thousand miles, or while still nearly 2,000 miles from New York.
 The owners agents received no word to-day from the Lusitania, but press cabiegrams from London said that the challenger for the transatlantic rec ord had reported a run of 561 miles during her first tWenty-four hours out from Queenstown. When 1t is recalled that during the first nine hours from Daunt Rock the Lusitatnia because of tog was enabled to make but 1S0 miles, 1t Is apparent that the other 3Sl miles reported was covered at a rate better than twenty five miles an hour. It is believed that this higher speed is be- ing maintained
 The Lusitanla is looked for at Sandy Hook next Thursday night. If she makes the schedule she will have wiped out all records She must reach Sandy Hook bar at 2 D. m Friday to beat the Lucania's record. That she will do this IS foregone conclusion, but the break ing of the Cunard record is not the sole ambition of the Dusitania. The record of the Deutschland of the Hamburg American line is what the Lusitania is really after and to beat this by one hour she must make the trip in five days. that Is, reach Sandy Hook at 7:10 o'clock (New York time) Friday morn ing. The Deutschland's record from Cherbourg to New York is five days, eleven hours and tfty-four minutes, Without allowing for the disadvantage of the more southerly route the trip from Cherbourg westward Is about 236 miles longer than the Lusitania's voy~ age from Queenstown to New York. To offset this the Lusitania must allow the Deutschland approximately eleven hours Accordingly the British vessel must do her transatlantic record smashing before o'clock Friday morn ing, and this her owners confidently expect her to do

CHINESE MINISTER A YALE GRADUATE Appointee Regarded as Sue cessor of Ii Hung Chang as Dictator of Chi
 na's Future.
 'T'7"G WILL INTRODUCE AMERICAN CUSTOMS Commissions Which Made Tour of This Country and Envoys Practical
 Failure.

Washington, Sept. 1o.--on April 2Srd last the then Chinese minister here, Sir Chentung Cheng was informed of the purpose of his government to recall him to China to take up ah important post in the Chinese foreign office and that he would be succeeded in Wash ington by Lang Tung Yen. So If the latter owes his appointment to Wash ington to Yuan -Shi-Kai, as reported from Picking, it is evident that the great viceroy was able to arrange for this appointment long before he was himself summoned to Picking as a member of the board of foreign affairs and the inevitable inference is that the present upheaval in the court circle is the working out of plans formed months ago.
 Liang Tung Yen, the new minister, was Chinese customs taoti at Tien Tsin and is understood to be one of the trusted lleutenants of Yuan Shi Kai, who has come to be regarded as the successor of Lii Hung Chang as dicta- tor of the destiny of China. Liang speaks English perfectly, being grad uate of Yale and 1t is believed was chosen by Yuan shi Kai to be minister to Washington because he has most advanced ideas and is therefore likely to be of the greatest help to his chief in selecting for introduction into China such features of modern American civ- ilization and governmental methods as seem best adapted to the needs of the new element in the court which is seek ing to reform China.
 It is estimated that while the Chi nese government was much gratitied with the reception accorded to the two commissions composed of high nobles which made tours last spring of Europe and America very little ma terial profit followed from these ex- tended visits. In fact either from lack of powers of observation or because they were more attracted to the social side, the members of the commission did not secure the specific information relative to American and European methods of administration that would enable the crown to base upon them the reforms to be inaugurated in Chi- na. Hence the decision was reached to avail rather of the services of China's resident ministers to gather such information and the authorities ut home were confirmed in this deci- sion by the return to China of Sir Shentung Liang Cheng, a man of the highest powers of intellect and obser- yation, who come laden with the re- suit of several years profound study of American methods and was prepar- ed to point by his own example to the advisability of looking to specially equipped ministers rather than fitting commissions to aid in the development of the reform movement.

 Own Hands.

Norfolk, Vt, Sept, 1O.-Mrs. Mary Lawless Rorsehach, wife of Lieut.. Frank Rorschach, United States navy, and sister of Joseph Lawless, former secretary of the commonwealth of Virginia, was murdered in her home, No. S32 Park avenue, Park View, Portsmouth, by an unknown burglar, early to-day. She was shot through the heart with her own pistol taken from her hand by the burglar after she had fired twice upon him through an open door leading into the kitchen where he was cornered.

Rorschach, formerly of the United States battle- ship Kentucky, but more recently promoted and transferred to the United States cruiser Tennessee, now with Admiral Evans's fleet off Pro- vincetown, Mass, on target practice, was absent.
 The Rorschach home is immediate ly in the rear of the naval hospital woods in Portsmouth and near a lumber mill by which negroes fre- quently pass. A newsboy who lives nearby saw a negro shortly after the tragedy running rapidly by his home towards a small footbridge, whence the bloodhounds went when they caught the scent. The negro was taking off his coat.
 While Mrs. Rorschach had lamp in her hand, the burglar was in the kitchen in the dark, She evidently heard the man and fired in that di- rection. Both bullets fired by the wo- man were found In the wall of the kitchen.
 Mrs. Rorschach was a handsome woman about thirty-slx years of age and one of the most accomplished mu- slcians in Virginia, Lieutenant Rcrsch- ach was formerly of Kansas but was appointed to the navy from Virginia,

NO STRIKE INTERFERENCE
WITH THE TELEGRAPHERS
Commissioner Neill No Longer Concerned With the
 Matter.

Oyster Bay, N Y, Sept 10.--Labor Commissioner Neill is no longer con- corning himself with the telegraphers' strike and his original effort to bring about peace between the telegraph companies and their former employees represented all the part taken by the administration in the controversy. Re- ports to the contrary were denied by the commissioner upon his leaving Sagamore Hill, where he had luncheon with the president to-day Others at the luncheon were Secretary Stratus of the department of commerce and la- bor Lawrence r. Abbott and Ernest Hamlin Abbott of New York Secre- tary Straus made a verbal report on his recent western trip to President Roosevelt, and Commissioner Neill took up with the president certain diff faculties which have arisen in the at- tempted enforcement of the eight hour law. The telegraph strike was not considered.
 Commissioner Neill on leaving Sag amore Hill said that since his prelim- mary efforts to settle the telegrapers strike he had taken no part in that controversy and that these efforts which had failed represented all that had been done by the administration in the matter. The strike, he said, was not considered to-day, and he contemplated no further activity in the matter. President Roosevelt, he added, had never asked for a report on the question from him and unless such a request should be made he should not give in detail the failure of his initial and only efforts to bring about a cessation of the strike.
 Secretary straus said the president was enthusiastic about perfecting the national organization for the promo
 ton of industrial peace, the foundation for which was assured by the $S7, ,000 bestowed on the president as the re- cipient of the Nobel peace prize. The secretary stated Labor Commissioner Neill was to be made active secretary of the organization which congress had chartered, and that a popular sub- soription of $1, 1,OOO,OOO was to be raised, Just what was to be the propaganda of the organization, he added with a smile, would be left to the sound dis cretion of Mir. Neill.
 Mir. Straus said he had made com prehensive report to the president re- gardng his inspection trip in the west. which had extended as far as Waiwail. While Oriental immigration was one of the countrys problems he saw no apprehension of a serious character in it's solution and did not regard the visit of the Atlantic fleet to the Pa cific as any part of it's solution.

 MODUS VIVfNDI

(Continued from First Page.) protested against the modus vivendi
 throughout the negotiations. He ayers
 that he first suggested the referring of all disputes arising over the treaty of 1918 to The Hague tribunal when the lBritish and American cabinets agreed to so refer the case, Premier Bond of- fered, if the terms of reference were promptly settled, to allow colonial fish ermen to sell herring to Americans in
 treaty waters as heretofore. The Amer jeans refused to accept this arrange ment, preferring the greater privileges conveyed by the fnodus vivendi, The modus allows American captains to- hire Newfoundland fishermen on board
 the vessels.
 In conclusion, tie premier states that the colonial government will continue to resist the modus vivendi by every constitutional means and will uphold the sovereignty of the laws. He said
 that the imperial cabinet has admit ted that 1t must be clearly understood that the modus confers no immunity on Newfoundland fishermen in dis obeying the colonial laws.
