The Washington Post commends
Senator Hansbrough's suggestion that
concerted effort be made by senators
and congressman to pass the remedial
legislation in financial matters sug
gested by the president, and that in
dividual efforts to press individual
measures be avoided. The former will
result in harmony and rapid of &C.
ton and the latter will result only in
confusion and delay. Sane, sensible
and prompt legislation is desired
not the riding Of financial hobbies into
a slough of delay.-Bismarck Tribune.
Senator Hansbrough Is hardly get
ting a square deal from many men
whom he has assisted as senator to get
into Office, and otherwise get a start.
The Searchlight is not advocating
trading principles for Office, but does
advocate the idea of 'toting' square.
Many of the men who have been bene-
fciaries at the hands of the senator
believe him to be as good timber as
there is in the state for that Office, yet
| because certain other influences have
been set to work they are pulling away
from him. This is hardly fair and
honest.-Searchlight.

r The News is for the reelection of

not? The senator has done more for
North Dakota in the past few months
than many of the eastern senators do
for their states in a whole term in

was blowing 40 miles an hour and the
thermometer was below 40, Senator
Hansbrough obtained a leave Of alb
sence of 80 days for the homesteaders,
and it was appreciated. Just a few
months ago he secured the name of
North Dakota for one of the biggest
battleships afoat and now when the
money market becomes so tight that
the crops could not be moved he wired
the president to establish a govern.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-Secret service op- cratives Thursday reported that somo official correspondence between Attor. ney General Bonaparte and District Attorney Edwin w Sima, containing government sscrats relating to ths case ef John R Walsh. formerly Hresi- dent of the Chicago National bank, now dsfunot, awaiting trial in connec- ton with the failure of the bank, had been stolen from the eles in the fed sral building. Miss Etta L. Mclean, who has been employed in District At torney Sims office for three months, was arrested in company with o. B. Gordee, charged with conspiracy to steal government records" Miss Me Lean, who Is graduate of an eastern college is alleged to have procured possession of the records and given them to Gordee, who lived in the same building with her on the North side. The records are believed to have con tained information to be used in the forthcoming prosecution of Mir Walsh.
 Miss Mclean and Gordee were taken before United States Commis- sioner Foote Thursday and hearing of the case was continued until Friday. Miss Mclean was released upon giy- ing her word to appear at the hear ing, while Gordee was taken to the county jail. Both maintain their in nocence.
 Government officials believe that in the arrest of Miss Etta Mclean. the stenographer, and Alexander B. Cor dee, printer, they have uncovered g conspiracy to steal the governments information ir the case of John R. Walsh. the former president of the Chicago National bank, under indict- ment for alleged misrepresentation Of the funds of the bank. Both prisoners were arraigned Friday. Neither was prepared to plead. Mir Walsh's at. torney said that Gordee had offered to sell to him important information, but that he declined the offer without discussing details.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2.--psciarins that the outlook for raising new capi- tai next year is unsatisfactory, the al. rectors of the Pennsylvania Railroad company have decided to rstrench and after their meeting Friday, at wnicn they declared the usual seml-annuai dividend of BE per cent, gave ou. statement that economy would be the policy of the great corporation during 1908 The announcement came some what as a surprise in view of the statement issued from President NC Crea,s office on Wednesday that the earnings of the company are II per cent greater than they were at the same period last year. President NC Crea said Friday that in view of the unsatisfactory outlook for raising ne" capitaI in 1908 1t was, in his Judgment, necessary and prudent for the com pany to continue it's policy of not De- ginning any new work or committing tha company to any new capital re- ouirements except those absolutely necessary to economically handle it's traffic. With that end ia view the company would undoubtedly restrict it's needs to minimum aud would not push the work on the New York tunnel extension or other uncom- pleted improvements as vigorously as had been done in the past.

 CTS In the Far East.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 2.-According to the official report of the recent mu- tinous outbreak of sailors at Vladi- vostok, the crews of three torpedo boat destroyers, the Skory, Serdity and Trevotshny, mutinied, hoisted the red flag and shelled the port, doing considerable damage to buildings and killing some soldiers and civilians. The Skory. on board of which were three revolutionary agitators, includ- ing one woman, took the lead in the mutiny, the crew rising at the fr- stance of the agitators, killing the commander of the boat and wounding the other officers, who were overpow- cred and confined below decks. The fire of the rebellious torpedo boat de stroyers was answered by the batter ies short time afterward. The Skory was surrounded and raking fire was poured into her. which battered her to pieces. exploding her two boilers and caused fire to break out on board. Nearly all of the mutineers Of the Skory were killed on the vessel. The three or four survivors threw them selves into the sea.
 The mutiny on board the Trev- otshny was quelled by her own crew, after six of the mutineers had been killed and six wounded.
