ing trips to the smelter and concen-
tIator on the opening of the passen-
ger train service from Ely City and

this trip will prove a very popular
one in society circles for some little
time to come, beside affording an OPP
portunity for Sunday relaxation in a
new way and at very modest cost.
Train parties can leave the city in

Pupils of the Ely City school, all
in the primary grades, are enthus-
iastic over plans which Miss Parker,
principal of the school, has advanced
for the requirement of piano for
the new building which it is expected
the school will occupy next year.
Each of the little folks making up the
scnool will contribute to the piano
fund. Ten cents month has been
fixed as the sum of contributions and
already there is quite a beginning on
hand. 1t is probable that later in
the year under the direction of the
principal an entertainment will be
given by the children for the purpose
of aiding the fund.

ignated in the papers found among GIor-
danis effects by numbers.
The secret service men were able to
connect these numbers with the proper
persons and the first result was to fix
upon Charles Mot, the American con-
sular agent ut st. Marie, as one Of the
persons to whom q number had been an
piled. Upon learning this fact last even
ing the state department cnbled to Amer
lean Minister Furniss at Port Au Prince
to dismiss this agent at once from the
employ of the United States.
Chief Wilkie Of the United States secret
service made a statement today giving
the facts connected with the arrest Of
Giordani. which 60 to show that at the
time Of his arrest Giordani had in his
possession counterfeit Haytien paper
money to the face value Of $500. oCN. about
20oO Remington rifles and 10000 rounds of
ammunition. all of Which. 1t is said. was
intended for the 1Iaytier revolutionists
Giordani's arrest followed a frustrated
attempt to ship the material to Hayti.
In Giordanis apartment was found q
large number of letters from Gen. Friman
and other revolutionists in Hayti and
elsewhere and other papers and docu-
ments Of Importance. 1t was discovered
that the counterfeit money was part Of
that made in 1902 to finance the revolt
ton in that year.
1t is stated that the plans Of the rev.
olutionists were to have the arms. etc.
arrive at Gonaives, Hayti. at q certain
time. where they were to be taken pos
session of by a revolutionary force which
was expected to capture the town. The
last part of the program was carried out
but the vigilance of the secret officers
frustrated their plans as to the arrival
of the arms and money and il is be-
lieved that their action will result in q
speedy collapse of the revolution. M.

birth and at one time was consul for

ing will take place in New York Jan. 90.
