Canadians to Seize Isle
ROyale In Lake Superior.

Duluth, August 5.--A special to the
News Tribune from Port Arthur. Can
ada, says:
Canadians, led by Capt. S. C. Young,
OF the Ninety-sixth Regiment, started
last night in a naptha launch for Isle
Royale, in Lake Superior, with the in
tention of hosting the British flag on
the island and formally declaring the
territory part of the British Empire
and portion of Canada.
elsie Royale has been held since early
in the last century by the United States,
but the Canadians resist the supposition
that the island is rightfully held by the
United States. Capt. Young wants to
take decisive action, with the hope that
possession of the island may become a
subject of diplomatic action and its pos
tive ownership established.
Capt. Young has not applied for nor
has he received governmental sanction
for the expedition.

DISCOVERS SERUM WHICH
WILL CURE MENINGITIS.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 6. 6.-According
to private advices received by the Lead
er from New York and from Castalia,
Ohio, the wealth of John D. Rockefel-
Ter has made possible the cure of men
ingitis.
DR.. Simon Flexner, New York ad-
vices say, has discovered serum which
will cure the heretofore fatal disease.
Experiments made at Castalia have
demonstrated the efficacy of the serum.
DR.. Flexner is at the head of the Rookie
feller institute for Medical Research in
New York.
'It was a most remarkable discov-
cry" said DR.. S.-Gorsuch, of Castalia.
mot one of the patients could have
possibly got well. A girl, one of the
first attacked, was almost dead when
the serum was applied. No one thought
she would recover, yet now she is get
ting well.
The doctors here have said nothing
about the matter, because of the fact
that the cases were of an experimental
nature. However, we have kept DIR.
Flexner in constant touch with the pro-
gress of the patients, and feel that the
experiments have demonstrated abso-
lutely that the serum will cure mening-
tits. One of the worst diseases in the
human calendar has been conquered
without doubt.

BONAPARTE PLANS CRIMINAL
CHARGE AGAINST HARTMAN.
Evidence Shows FInsncier Controlled Al
tan Road when Oil Trust Got Re-
bates from II.

Washington, Aug. 4. 4.-Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte will shorten his vacation
and return to this city August IL. Dur
ing his outing at Lenox Mr. Bonaparte
has been giving personal attention to
the report submitted by the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the various
financial transactions of Edwin H. Har-
riman.
Leading officials in the Department of
Justice believe the early return of At
torney General Bonaparte presages the
criminal prosecution of Mr.. Hartman.
The order issued by Judge Lands di-
recting the grand jury to take up on
August IA the rebate practices, as re-
lated to the Chicago & Alton Railroad,
may mean criminal prosecution of the
railroad officials who granted the re-
bates to the Standard Oil, the accept
ance of which resulted in the assess
ment of fine of $29, 240, 900.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
in the report which Attorney General
Bonaparte is now considering, showed
that during the period covered by the
Standard Oil case, Hartman was in alb
solute control of the Chicago and Alton.
1t is pointed out here, as Judge Lam
dis explained, that the Chicago & Alton
filed a false rate sheet with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission on oil ship
ments from Whiting, Ind, to Chicago
and other points.
BY testifying under oath in obedience
to subpoena, Hartman secured i'm
munity from criminal prosecution under
the Sherman antitrust law but he has
never been questioned as to the grant
ing of rebates by the Chicago and Alton
Officials here say that if the Standard
Oil Company is sincere in the declara-
ton that the fine just imposed is unjust
and unmerited, and confscatory, an
early ruling can be reached in the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
1t is believed the Standard Oil officials
will carry the case to the Circuit Court
of Appeals. By this method the case
could be kept from the highest tribunal
for several years.

PERMANENT COURT OF
ARBITRATION is ESTABLISHED.
american Proposition Unanimously
Adopted at Hague Conference
Twelve Nations Abstain
from Voting.

The Hague, Aug. 3. Another Ameri-
can proposition-for the establishment
of permanent court of arbitration at
The Hague-one which will occupy a
place in history, today obtained splen-
did success in the ub-committee which
had the matter in hand.
Twenty-seven delegates voted affir-
matively and twelve abstained. This
means that the proposal we unanimous
ly approved.
VOTE ON PROPOSITION.
The vote on the proposition was as
follows:
In Favor-Germany, Argentine, Bra
zi, Bulgaria, China, Chile, Columbia,
Denmark, Santo Domingo, Ecuador.
France, Great Britain, Guatemala.
Italy, Japan, Mexico, Montenegro, Nor
way, Panama, Paraguay. Holland. Peru,
Portugal, Russia. Sweden, Venezuela

The following abstained from voting.
some of them because they were with
out instructions from their government:
Austria, Belgium, Spain, Greece.
Roumania, Servia, Siam, Switzerland
Turkey, Uruguay, Luxemberg and Sal
vador.
TO PRESENT WORKING SCHEME.
1t is probable Great Britain. Ger
many, Russia and the United States
will agree to present special commit
tee on Tuesday a combined scheme for
constituting working permanent court
of arbitration. .
In opening the sitting Joseph H.
Choate of the American delegation urg-
ed that the Russian proposition be ia
ken by the editing committee together
with the American proposition. Beern-
aret opposes plan.
M. Beernaert, Belgium, then made
long speech in which he in no sense op-
posed the idea of arbitration, but con-
tended that the permanent bureau of
the present court had the advantage of
permitting the assembling of the court
at will and constituting it in accordance
with the particular conditions of the
litigation in hand.
The question to decide, he said, was
whether the proposal of the United
States really constituted progress or
not. If a permanent tribunal was es-
tablished, legislation would be created
outside the sphere of the sovereignty of
the state.
Continuing, M. Beernauert said he
was not sure he would be able to find
seventeen first class jurists to act as
judges who would be willing to expat-
riate themselves and moreover all peo-
pie would not be represented on the
tribunal, which might be suspected of
not being fully impartial.

Usage Indians Richest
Redskins In the World.

Tulsa, l. T., Aug. 5.-Osage Indians,
the richest redskins in the world, today
began filing on lands in their nation
drawn in the recent lottery at Paw
huska. The filing will continue at the
rate of fifty day and will require about
As days to complete. The order of filing
is determined by the numbers drawn in
the lottery. No preference in the selec-
tion of lands will be given because of
improvements, but members of the
tribe will be given an opportunity to ex-
change selections under the supervision
of the commissioner.
The final roll of the Osages allowed to
participate in the lands and funds of the
tribe contains 1920 names. The prop
erty owned by the tribe is in a rich sec
ton of Oklahoma and is rapidly increas-
ing in value. A conservative estimate
now places the average wealth of each
member of the tribe at $50, 900. Four
allotments have been provided for and
when completed each Indian will have
$40 acres of land, in addition to an in
terest in the residue and the rich oil
lands and other properties of the tribe.
The last day for filing is set for Octo-
Der 8. From that date to October 81
the commission will entertain the appli-
cation of allottees to exchange and in
terchange selections. AS great many
of the Indians will desire to retain the
lands on which they have formerly lived,
there will likely be much bartering. No
exchange will be permitted unless de-
sired by both allottees, and if money
consideration enters into the deal it
must be made known to the commits
sioners.
Most of the younger generation of
Osages are intelligent and well educa-
ted as well as wealthy, and quite able
to keep and increase their fortunes.

nopolize and restrain trade in violation
of the law.

TazewsII Visitor Interested In Pulaski
Road

The Pulaski Southwest Times of
August End, says:
Henry S. Bowen, of Wittens Mills,
Tazewell county, is in the city today in
the interest of a good road from Pulaski
to Bland county, and states that the
authorities Of Bland have perfected
matters for the building of this road to
the Pulaski line, and are now merely
waiting the action of this county. The
Times has had much to say on this sub
ject on several occasions, and will con-
tinue to agitate this question, as it is a
most vital one to Pulaski. Mr.. Bowen
is one of the largest land owners in
Tazewell and Bland counties, and his in
terest in this matter should be sufficient
to demonstrate the value and necessity
of the desired road.

Railroads Will CurtaiI on Tickets.

A prominent official in the railway
service said yesterday that it was the
general understanding that when the
two-cent passenger rate goes into effect
on railroads in Virginia, October l, the
companies will cut out excursion rates
OF every character, and drop the per-
mits to ministers, whereby the latter
have received a reduction of one-third
of the regular rate.
Children under five years of age will
be carried free as at present, when ac-
companied by person with paid tick
ct, but the one-half fare tickets now
being issued to children between the
ages of five and twelve years, will be
abolished, and all children over five
years of age will he charged for at the
rate of two cents a mile.
This railroad man is inclined to the
belief that the roads, considering the
probable increase in travel due to the
cheaper rate, will be able to earn prac
tically as much money at two cents a
mile as they have been earning at three
cents mile.
He added: But the Norfolk & West
ern has never regarded the passenger
business a paying investment. This
road has made its principal earnings out
of its freights, and Henry Fink, chair
man of the board of directors, is quoted
as saying that he wished the company
did not have passenger train on its
lines, and could do an exclusive freight
business. Bristol Herald Courier.

To Settle Railroad Dispute In AIabams

Montgomery, Ala, August 6.-The
outlook for peaceable settlement Of
the controversy between the Southern
Railway and the State is good.
President Russell, of the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad, representing President
Finley, of the Southern Railway, is in
conference with Governor Conner, and
it is thought mutual arrangement will
be reached.
Two plans, it is said, are suggested.
One that the railway be allowed to
withdraw from the suit taken to the
Federal court, and the other that test
case be made and both abide by the de-
cision.

BOMBARDED BY FRENCH SHIPS.
MOOrs in Casca Blanca Suffer for Attacks
on Christians.

Tangier, Aug. Casa Blanca, on
the Moroccan coast, has been lombard
ed by French cruisers, the Moors are
reported to have been shot down in
large numbers, and the town since last
Sunday night has been practically in
possession of landing parties from
French ana Spsnish cruisers. The first
shots were fired by the Moors. The
Frenchmen responded with bayonet
charge and the bombardment of the ma
tive quarter with Mellinite shells. The
Frenchmen had six men wounded. but
no one killed. No European residents
were hurt.
OUTCOME OF MASSACRE.
The occupation of Casa Blanca is di-
rect outcome of the native uprising
which resulted in the killing last week
of eight Europeans at Casa Blanca.
Both France and Spain are hurrying
other warships with troops and marines
on board to various points on the Mo
roccan coast for the protection of for
eigners. Under the terms of the AL
geciras convention these two powers
are charged with the policing of the sea
ports of Morocco. and their action at
Casa Blanca has brought no protest
from any power. The states of Europe
have expressed their willingness that
France and Spain restore order in Mo-
rocco. No other countries are involved.
Paris, Aug. Ga special dispatch
received from Tangier says the street
fighting in and the bombardment OF
Casa Blanca according to a refugee
who arrived from there on the steamer
Anatole, continued throughout Sunday
and was still in progress when the Ana.
tole left at o'clock Sunday evening.
The French ships fired total of about
1000 shells. The number of Moorish
dead will run into the hundreds.

Virginia Railroads Accept 2 Cent Rate.

Richmond, Va, Aug. 3.-Shortly be-
fore midnight the state officials, in con-
ference at the governors office in the
state capital, received a communication
from the attorneys Of the Virginia rail-
ways to the effect that the two-cent
rate would be put into effect on or be-
fore October 1st, with the condition
that the matter should be taken to the
courts for a final decision as to its le-
gality.
The acceptance by the railroads to
the ultimatum sent them by Governor
Swanson today is not a surprise. For
the last "a hours the railways have only
been holding out in order to make the
best terms possible.
AGREEMENT FINALLY SIGNED.
Attorneys for the Southern, Chesa-
peake and Ohio, Norfolk and Western,
Atlantic Coast Line and Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac have been
in conference all day formulating an an
swer to the letter sent by Governor
Swanson on behalf of the corporation
commission and the state, but it was
not until 11;40 that the agreement was
finally signed.
EXTRA SESSION AvERTED.
Had not the railways accepted the
conditions offered by the state, an extra
session of the general assembly would
have been called at once. Letters and
kilograms, it is learned, had been pre-
pared to be sent to the members.
The statement given out by the rail-
roads is that they have determined to
live in peace with the people and to end
all conflict.
