When the Miners Magazine was gloating over the assassination of former Governor Steunenberg. it prob ably did not occur to the editor that he was assisting in fastening a rope around the necks of the federation leaders. The Magazine disclosed an attitude of the federation towarl ihe murdered governor which does not comport with one of the main theories of the defense that the organization could have had no motive for the kill ing and that therefore it was an act of private and individual revenge.

MIR. TAFT'S QUIET SUNDAY.
Numerous Japanese Dignitaries Call
Upon the Secretary of War;, In
Guiding the Imperial Minister of
War-CharIie Taft's Baseball
Game Nipped i'm the Bud.

Toxic, Sept 29.-Preliminary to
three days social and diplomatic &C
tivity, Secretary of War Taft and his
party spent a quiet Sunday resting
in the palace of Shiba an ancient
and picturesque residence belonging
to the imperial family. During the
day numerous Japanese dignitaries
and officials called upon the secreta-
ry, many of them accompanied by
their wives.
Charlie Taft organized a baseball
game on the famous lawn of the cas-
tie with a number of japanese
youths.
1t was intended to play the game
today but his father objected and
caused a postponement until tOmOr-
row.
Among the most important callers
on the secretary today was Lieuten-
ant General Terauchi, the imperial
minister Of war, who had a lengthy
conference with Mr.. Taft.
Some Importance is being attached
to the fact that there have been
two conference between the two min
listers of war and on account Of the
mutual admiration and the influence
of Lieutenant General Terauchi, it
is believed in certain quarters that
the ground work is being laid for
| an entente concerning immigration
which, it is conceded, is the only
| point on which there is difference
of opinion between the W coun-
| tries.
1t is intimated that if the oppor-
tunity arises during his conference
with the emperor October End Mr..
Taft may breach this subject to him
and leave its future arrangement

| sador.

1T SHOULD BE THOROUGH
Full Investigation of the Southern
Books Desirable.

Ia view of the development last
week of which there has been much
in the papers and of talk which is
being handed around of startling de-
velopments yet to come, and of state
ments of what could be shown If
there we're opportunity for an ok
haustive examination of the books
of the Southern railway company, it
is to be hoped that Judge P~ritchard
will grant the states appeal from the
ruling Of Standing Master Montgom-
cry that the state may not go into
the books back of June 30th, 1905.
1t would be well If the investigation
should go back as far and be as COM
plete as the states attorneys might
desire touching transactions concsrn-
ing which the railway company, indi-
Viduals and corporations are called
in question.
If this were allowed it would be
well further, if a way could be found
to look at the books of the other
railway companies also, for the
Southern, if a sinner may not be the
emily one.
1t would be a matter of regret if
this investigation having been en-
tered upon should fall short of COM
~Pleteness or if the Southern railway
company alone should have to make
a Observation-Disclosures Observer.

Mill

Martin Beck, a farmer on the Cone
Waga Hills, relates a story while at
tending market this morning to the
effect that three of his geese went
on a d~isgraceful spree after having
eaten some pulp from a cider mill.
Some time after the eating of the
pulp the peculiar actions of the
fowls attracted the attention of the

one by n they fell limp and appar-

Mrs. Beck carried the fols into the

A Great Race With Death

The fishing schooner Ellen and Eni-
ma, a trim little craft that runs out
of this port and then lands her cargo
at Fulton market had been out several
days, and yesterday morning she was
off Barnegat with a full catch and all
hands were waiting the word from
Capt. Fred Anderson to run for home
There had been a pleasant southwest
wind blowing. and this would let
the Ellen and Emma do her best, and
she can leave astern many craft that
have regulations for speed.
About 9 O'Clock the wind freshened
and 1t was soon blowing a gale. Capt.
Anderson, after having e that ev-
erything was made snug, got his craft
under way and stood out to sea.
Herman Stuizesen, who had been
nine a On the schooner and acted
as mate, had the wheel for half an
hour. The schooner had Just been hove
into the wind while the crew took
double reefs in the mainsail and The
the forsail. Suddenly Stuizensen an
nounced that he was i'll and fell I'M
conscious on the deck. He was car
ried below and laid on the cabin floor,
and Captain Anderson ordered all sail
set at any risk, took the wheel him
self and drove the schooner toward
port to try to get medical aid.
The Ellen and Emma was then %
nautical miles from Sandy Hook light
ship. The wind was bowling from
the southwest and the little craft
heeled far over. She with her lee
rail we'll under and green water boil
ing along her deck from her forward
rigging to her tairail. She swept b.
the grim lightship like a specter and
then dashed on by the Hook and WIS
son boiling on up the harbor.
Captain Anderson had ordered the
American ensign set at the main truck
union down, and with this signal Of
distress flying she attracted much at
tention from other craft in the har-
Dor. The tug Edward Luckenback ran
over to see what was the matter n
soon had the schooner in tow for
quarantine.
