The Fleets Long VOYAGE.

In spite of the statements in admin
istration circles that no decision was
to be made as to the return route Of
the Pacific fleet until it reached the
Pacific coast, it has become known
that the itinerary of the fleet after its
departure from San Francisco con-
templates a run across the Pacific to
Manila bay and a return trip to the
Atlantic coast of the United States.
This has hitherto been reported, but
not from administration circles. What
appears to be a confirmation of the
foregoing fact came out Saturday in
view of the necessity of the admins
tration in asking for an additional and
larger navy department Appropriation
for coal, the appropriation having been
exhausted on account of the heavy
expenditures already incurred. Be-
cause of this it is necessary for the
administration to confide in congress
sional leaders that the route for the
return had already been determined
upon and preparations under way for
carrying out the program.

BETTER SECURITY FOR STATE
MONEY MUST BE GIVEN
BY BANKS.
NEW RULE is IN FORCE.
Notes Made Here and There About
the State Of Major and Minor In
terest to Readers.

There is to be reform in the matter
of requiring bonds from state deposit
cries as result of the disclosures in
the Glazier case. The failure of the
Chelsea bank revealed that a bond Of
100000 had been given to the state
to protect a deposit of $685., 900, and in
the investigation that followed it was
discovered that there was no fixed
rule for requiring bonds from deposit
cries. In some instances a bond of
25 per cent of the deposit was re-
CURED in others a so per cent bond
was furnished, and in a few cases
bonds for barely 10 per cent had been
given.
Now that the state treasury is being
replenished by the receipt of taxes
from the counties, and money is being
sent to repositories, Deputy State
Treasurer Haarer has adopted a new
rule and will require larger bonds to
be given. He has notified banks with
which the state keeps open accounts
that the bonds of 100000 heretofore
furnished will not be deemed suffi-
cient, and that a $250,000 bond must
be furnished. In the case of particu-
larry large depository bond for $780,
900 will be required An effort will be
made to carry out the rule of requiring
a bond for at least so per cent Of the
deposit.

May Cost s5oo.ooo,ooo.

That the Panama canal may cost
the government $500,000,000 was the
statement of Col. George w. Goethals,
chairman Of the isthmian canal COM
mission, at a hearing before the sen
ate committee on interoceanic canals.
The admission was brought out in
response to questions from the chair
man of the committee, Senator Kilt
redge, OF South Dakota. Col Goethals
had said previously that any estimate
as 10 the cost of the canal was guess
work.
Are you prepared to say that the
canal will not cost more than $780,
00,000?" inquired Senator Kittredge.
mo, I am not" was the reply. 81
believe it will cost all of that"
"Are you prepared to say that ii
will not cost over $300,000.00?"
NO, as ] said before, it is impos.
sible at this time to say just what
the cost will be" was the reply to the
chairman.
would you be willing to say that
the cost will not be above $780,
OO000O?" persisted Senator Kittredge.
"As / said before. it is impossible
to say at this time" replied Col. Goe-
thals. ut might even be 100000 900
The hearing was brief and aside
from the above admission as to the
utter futility of trying at this time TO
estimate the cost of he canal, ii was
without interest.

Wreck on the Central.

Two members of the crew and three
passengers were injured in a collision
between a Michigan Central train due
from Detroit at $40 o'clock, and a
wrecking train two miles south of Bay

for Henderson to clear the wreckage
of a freight train and had taken the
southbound track. A Jackson train
had passed eight minutes before, and
Operator Melvin Spore admits having

RESCUED.
Miners Enton,bed Forty-six Days Are
Saved From Death.


After having been entombed 46 days,
1 900 feet below the surface In the
Alpha shaft of the Giroux mine. A. ID.
Bailey, p. ]. Brown and Fred. Nc
Donald were rescued Sunday night.
Whistles all over the camp blew loud
ly, while crowds cheered in the streets
of Ely, Nevada, to the ringing or
bells.
"Ah," was the only word OF Bailey,
the first to reach the outer air.
'Ts that you, Arthur" queried Fred.
Mcdonald, as his brother stepped for
ward and embraced him after nearly
seven weeks of separation. "By George,
it certainly seems good to be out OF
that hole" he said as he was led
away.
Somebody give me a chew OF tobac-
CO." said Brown, with laugh as he
was led from the mine shaft.
When the cave-in occurred ii was
thought that the men had persisted,
but "a hours after the accident the
three buried men managed to make
themselves heard by tapping on six
inch water pipe that reached from the
pumping station to the surface. Com
munication was established with the
world above and food and drink were
plenteously lowered through the pipe.
A large supply was sent down, as it
was feared the pipe might be broken
before the rescuers could reach the
imprisoned men. But throughout the
long weeks of imprisonment this pipe
was daily used.
A portable telephone was lowered
and the men were able to talk with
people above.
Clearing the debris was slow work,
as timbers, rocks and earth were SD
twisted together that new shaft had
to be cut for most of the 1000 feet.

Cost Of the Panama canaI-Fleet tc
Go Round the WorId-Various Mat
tiers of Interest.

The Japanese Mail has a significant
editorial, commenting upon the protest
of the Chamber of Commerce and lead
ing bankers against the increased tax
alton, as these are men who hitherto
have been loyal supporters OF the
government policy.
The Mail quotes Baron Shibusaws
and Baron Sonoda, prominent bankers
to the effect that Japan is spending
more than it can afford on ornaments
and unproductiye work. They state
that 1t is daily becoming palmer that
large and influential party is grow
ing up with a platform of reduced
taxes and ornaments, and. although
the present program of expansion is
TO extend to 1911 only, the new party
demands immediate relief.
The Mail remarks: THE time seems
to bring to turn strongly against mill
tarism, and the next three years will
| be critical"
The leading Toxic dailies during the
week have all been studying the cause
of the remarkable change in the atti
tude Of the western people toward
| Japan.
The Kokumin, a government organ
! has the latest and most outspoken
| comments II says: "In view of the
steady change in the worlds opinion
of Japan, the Kokumin must remind

ententes. Japan is meeting with OBJ
stacles in all directions, owing to the
| fact that the government and people
are still intoxicated with the glory OF
| the recent war and empty fiattery The
/ people should awake to their sober
| senses, and the government should ex
ercise more prudence in its dealings
with the powers"
This early recognition of weakness
undoubtedly is largely attributable to

ing his great influence to secure sound
er financial policies in opposition to
the military party which has hitherto

Won't Prosecute Clerk

The family of H. w. Holcombe, tn,
aged city clerk and justice of the
peace, who disappeared from Portland
and was later heard from in the home
of his son. Rev. c. r. Holcombe, in
Topeka, Kas., has received a lie
from him, but refuses to divulge the
contents. They do say. as announced
before, that Holcombe left because his
safe was robbed of village funds ant
he feared to face the council.
The family has declared it woulL
pay any shortage in Holcombe's funds.
According to his accounts this amounts
to $44967, of which $SSS6 is alleged
to have occurred in 1906. Holcombe's
bondsmen, in view of the family's de
cision to make good the missing sum,
say they will not prosecute him.

A FAKE.
That is the View of the Story About
Wreckinq Battleships.

WTeCkn9 6dttieSnlpS.
The Rio de Janeiro police are still
working seriously on the alleged plot
to blow up the United States ships.
The band which is supposed 10 have
organized the plot is made up Of for
eigners. 1t presumably is composed OF
five Italians, one Canadian and two
Germans. John Fender is one of the
Germans. Three of the Italians have
been arrested and il is believed that
the other members of the band have
been taken into custody at Sac Paulo.
The reported plot TO blow up one
or more ships of the Atlantic battle
ship fleet at Rio de Janeiro is regard
ed at the White House as a repetition
of one Of the many schemes which are
constantly been presented to the Sc
cret service agents of the government
by persons who claim to possess infor-
nation which they are willing to part
with for a consideration.
No credence is placed in the exist
ence of an actual plot. 1t is under
stood that the information originated
in Paris, from which point it was
communicated to the secret service
bureau of the treasury department and
through that medium to Admiral
Evans and the authorities of the South
American country.

THE THAW TRIAL.

Both Evelyn Thaw, the wife, anG
Mrs. William Thaw, the mother OF
the defendant, were on the witness
stand, and just as the former was
about to relate anew the story of her
life, as she told it to Thaw in Paris
in 1908, District Attorney Jerome
arose and suggested that in the inter
est of public morals all persons save
those Immediately interested in the
case should be excluded from the
courtroom during the recital of what
he termed "a horrible tale" The de-
Tense agreed and Justice Bowling adj
journed court for two days, when, ne
said, he would decide the matter.
Harry Thaw's mother arrived in
New York to testify in his defense.
More evidence as to his irrational ac-
tons was presented.
The two principal witnesses in the
Thaw trial were Prof. Charles IL.
Koehler of Winona, Mimi, who acted
as instructor TO Thaw in the Wooster
CO.. university in 1886, and Mrs. ANY
Crosette of San Maeto, Cal, who at
tended Thaw as a trained nurse at
Monte Carlo in 1897. They both told
of the young mans eccentricities and
declared that his manner always was
irrational.
Some of Thaws alleged eccentricl-
ties, revealed for the first time, were
related at his trial by Christopher
Baggan, steward of the New York
Whist club; by Miss Matilda Stein,
telephone operator, and by Per August
Weber. a former butler in the Thaw
household.

Editorials
Editorials by Ii. B. Mckenzie

The inane gabble going from one side of the state to the other about Donaghey buying up the press and everybody else is the merest lot of slush and is not different from the grossest sort of campaign reports sent out to injure a candidate. It seems to be impossible for the campaign liar to get anything worse on Donaghey than the fact that he is spending little money in running for office. We can only speak for one office of course, but in our honest opinion the press of Arkansas sees in MT. Donaghey the best material that is now available for a governor and is now doing it's duty in trying to elect him. It seems that the great majority of the papers are for Donaghey and against Caldwell and Drake. They are for the man whom Davis said stood Hone handed and fought the biggest gang of boodlers and thieves in the state. ." Davis tries to deny it now, but dozens of farmers and backsmiths and merchants and professional men who heard him say it, make affidavit to the truth of the statement. Davis knows that Dona- ghey has the nerve to make fight lone handed, and Davis knows, too, that after Donaghey has won that fight lone handed, he will be monarch of all that he has conquered and cannot be pulled here and there by the boss. Donaghey is the kind of a man the honest citizens of Arkansas are look ing for. Stick to the man who has nerve enough to fight lone handed the biggest gang of boodlers and thieves that ever invaded the state and is still fighting theni Stick to the only man who has broken the most infamous political machine that has invaded the state of Arkansas. If it costs him little money to do it, his money can- nat be spent in worthier cause. Mir. Donaghey, because you are of the plain people and happen to be car penter and builder instead of lawyer. you. are none the less fitted for governor.
