the Drain team by a score of "a

from 100000 to 152, 800 head.
This forest has recently been

Sixty-One Now Held in Connection
With Reel Foot Outrage.

Camp Reno, Reel Foot Lake, Tenn,
Oct. 27. - Fourteen prisoners were
brought into camp today in connection
with recent night rider outrages in
this section. This makes a total of 81
now in custody here. Three mounted
scouting parties went out and two of
them returned. The third will not be
back before tomorrow night. The
detachment headed by Major R. E.
Martin is prepared to go to Obion to-
night to search for the mysterious
masked men who were reported to
have been seen near that town. After
communicating with several people
Colonel Tattom decided that the story
was without foundation and recalled
the orders.
Both Union City and Samburg, where
the soldiers are camped, were the CEN
ters of interest today in the night rider
troubles. A special term of the County
court convened at Union City today
and all of the evidence in the Reel
Foot lake case was laid before the
jury.

EvACUATE PACIFIC OCEAN.
Roosevelts Order is Taken to Mean
Confidence in Jap Professions.

Roosevelts Order is Taken to Mean
Confidence in Jap Professions.
Toxic, Oct. 28.-Although the
American fleet has left here for Manila
and China, the impression created by
the attitude of the people of the Unit
ed States toward the japanese is still
a matter of comment by the Japanese
and vernacular press.
A report from Washington to'Sthe
effect that President Roosevelt had or
dered the Pacific fleet to proceed to the
Atlantic ocea> to participate in the
spring manfLyers, thus temporarily
evacuating the Pacific ocean, has Gre
ated profound impression here. The
newspapers all comment on this action
as an indication that the American
people have confidence in the sinceri-
ty of the protestations of friendship on
the part Of Japan.
The proposed conference of the pow
ers interested in the Pacific ocean to
discuss the oriental question is gaining
in popular favor. Every newspaper in
the empire favors the proposed confer
ence, and it is likely that some Off
cial action will be taken soon.
The tender Yankton left Yokohama
today for Manila. She stayed behind
for repairs of damage done by the
storm encountered by the feet on the
way here from Manila.

Reach Pole by Drifting.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Oct. go
The famous Norwegian Arctic eXplor-
er, Roald Amundsen. leader Of the
Gjoa expedition, which discovered the
Northwest passage, has planned new
exploit for the Polar regions next year.
He will try to reach the north pole
by adopting Fridtjof Nansen's plan of
drifting northward on the Arctic cur
rent. He will, however, choose a
more Easterly starting point than Nan
sen did, probably because he fears a
too close proximity to Bering strait.
1t is not improbable that Nansen's old
ship, the Fran, will be used on this
expedition.

SHOOTING is LIMITED.
What Roosevelt is Free to Kill on
East African Hunt.

London, Oct. 28.-President Roose-
welt not having signified his intention
of asklns special privileges for his
hunting trip in British East Africa
through diplomatic channels, it is sup
posed that he will take out an ordinary
5o-pound $3.50 license from the colo
nal office. This, however, has not yet
been applied for, though it is always
usual to demand such licenses several
months in advance. Under them each
hunter is limited to 60 animals, except
in cases of lions, leopards, crocodiles
and others, which are considered un-
desirable, of which he may shoot as
many as he wishes.
AS set forth in the new licenses,
the president may kill "two elephants,
two rhinoceri, ten hippopotami, 81 an
telopes, two buffaloes, two earth hogs,
two earth wolves, ten chevrotains, two
two marabou storks, two
ostri.nes, two egrets and one Chin
panzee." Giraffes, wild asses, se,re-
tary birds and number of other spe-
cies are forbidden to any nimrod not
armed with special privileges.

BEWARE OF JAP.
Hobson Says United States Doomed
Soon as Fleet Leaves Pacific.

San Francisco, Oct. ga few
thousand Democrats in San Francisco
were told last night by Captain Rich
mond Pearson Hobson that Japan is
eagerly seeking war with the United
States at an early date.
Hobson was sailing along smoothly
discussing the campaign issues with
fervid speech, when voice in the au-
dience asked him to enlighten his hear
ers on naval affairs.
The congressman, who is member
of the house committee on naval af
fairs, readily complied. He asserted
that Japan had borrowed more than
a billion dollars to be used in war
with the United States. The overtures
of peace on the part of Japan, said the
speaker, were to delude this nation
into returning the battleships to the
Atlantic so that Japan could seize
strategic points in the Pacific and on
the western coast of America, and by
commanding the mountain passes could
prevent relief from the East. He told
his hearers that there are now in the
United States IS, 900 japanese soldiers.

APPEALS TO DOUMA.
Servia Wants Russia to Aid Her in
Balkan Conference.


Belgrade, Oct. 30.-Despairing at
the prospect of being altogether ignor-
ed in the coming Balkan conference,
the Servian parliament today tele-
graphed to the Russian douma asking
that Russia ally herself with Servia
and Montenegro The telegram begged
Russia to consider the alliance and
said: "Do not abandon US to our afflic-
tion."
The message declared that Servia
and Montenegro would never submit to
Austria's absorption of Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
The diplomatic corps here is await
ing indications from St. Petersburg as
to what action, if any, will be taken
on the telegram by the Russian gov
ernnfent.
The new attitude of Servia and Mon
tenegro places Russia in the peculiar
position of having an opportunity to
strengthen her hold in the Balkan pen
insula, but she has already arranged
the details Of the proposed Balkan con-
ference through Foreign Minister Is
wolsky
If Russia decides to heed the plea of
Servia and Montenegro, new situa-
tion will arise for the conference of
powers to dispose Of.

ments for new trial asked for by

der, who were convicted last spring of

CANADA ELECTS
LAUR!ER PREMIER
Majority Reduced From What It Was
Five Years Ago.
Conservatives Lose Out in Ontario,
Where They Expected to Make
Greatest Gairs-Quebec Will Send
an Almost Sell Liberal Mem
bership.

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 27.-Elections
for the Federal house of commons were
held yesterday throughout Canada. OF
the 221 constituencies in the dominion
only two-Rouville, Ont, and South
York, Ont.-returned members by ac-
clamation. In all the others, with the
exception of five, which will hold their
elections later, there were contests.
The returns show that Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the present ppremier, who in
the last house had majority of 66,
will be returned to the house for anoth-
er five years, with a majority of be-
tween 55 and so.
French Canadian Quebec remained
loyal to the premier, electing a men,
bership almost solidly Liberal.
Ontario, where the Conservatives ex-
pected to make their heaviest gains,
did not come up to the opposition's ex-
pectations. The returns indicate an
almost evenly divided membership,
compared with 80 Liberals and AT
Conservatives in the last house.
Nova Scotia, which at the last gen.
eral elections in 1904 returned a solid
Liberal phalanx, gives the Conserva-
tive party several seats.
R. l.. Borden, leader of the Conserv-
atives, was elected by a substantial
majority in Halifax, which supported
him four years ago. All the minis
tiers have been reelected with the ex-
ception of William Templeton, of Vic
toria, B. c., minister of inland reve-
nue., who lost by five votes.

GOVERNOR SERIOUSLY ILL.
Massachusetts Alarmed Over Condi-
ton of Chief Executive.

Boston, Oct. 3O.-Governor Guild
was seized with severe attack of gas
tritits today. AS this is the third
dangerous illness experienced by the
governor within year, there is con-
siderable anxiety over his condition.
Governor Guild had an attack of in
fammatory rheumatism and severe
heart trouble on March a. For nearly
a week his condition was critical. He
rallied, however, and after nearly
three months convalescence was able
to take up his work at the state house.
He had been at his desk scarcely
month before he was stricken down
with appendicitis on August "a, and
was obliged to undergo an operation.
He was able to take up his duties sew
eral weeks ago and has spoken once or
twice during the present campaign.

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON, D. G..
WOULD LOSE REVENUE.
Revenue Bureau Opposes American
Wines in Medicines.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The internal
revenue bureau is strongly opposed to
the contention of the California grape
growers for reversal of the commit
tees ruling of March 25, 1908, which
inhibits the use of fortified American
sweet wines in the manufacture of pro-
prietary medicines or compounds. To
do so, in the opinion Of officials, would
be to violate the law and to deprive the
government of many millions in reve-
nue. annually. This would be accom-
plished, it is pointed out, by the gen
eral substitution in the manufacture of
proprietary medicines, ETC., of non
taxable sweet wines, which have been
reinforced by the addition of a preser-
vative acid, of non taxable grape bran
dy for spirits which are taxed $1.10
per gallon. The purpose of the law
which does not require tax to be paid
on grape brandy when used for this
specific purpose is said to have been
solely for the encouragement of the
grape and sweet wine industries.
Commissioner Capers has received
letter from Senator Perkins, of Cali
fornia, advocating the reversal, and
transmitting copy of a resolution re-
Gently adopted by the Manufacturers
and Producers association of Califor-
MIA, and the Mississippi Com
mercial congress at San Francisco. 1t
also urges the reversal of the objec-
ruling.

ASKS FOR PEACE:
READY FOR WAR
Castro Replies to Holland With Re.
quest for Negotiations.
Says Dutch Government Should Send
Confidential Agent to venezueIa-
lnterprets Sending of Warships
as Threat and Takes Ammunition
to La Guayra Forts.

Caracas, Oct. 29.-President Castro
received on October IL the second note
from The Netherlands government,
which fixes November l as the date
for revocation of the transshipment
decree of May Ia, but it was not until
the following day, October 13, that
Venezuela's anxiously awaited reply
was delivered into the hands of Baron
Won Zickendorff, the German minister,
who is in charge of Dutch interests.
DR.. Paul. minister of foreign affairs,
closed his answer to Holland by saying
that, as an interruption of diplomatic
exchanges exists between The Neither
lands government and Venezuela, and
as the Venezuelan government desires
to arrive at an amicable agreement, he
asked the government of Holland to
send to Caracas confidential agent
with powers and instructions to settle
all pending differences.
Holland makes no further threat in
her note, but the fact that two Dutch
warships left Holland at the same time
as the note, and are now lying in the
harbor of Curacao, has been interpret
ed here to be direct though mute
threat that force would be used on No
vember to compel revocation of the
decree of May IA.
President Castro has answered this
threat by making all necessary naval
and military preparations to meet any
reasonable emergency, and shells for
the large coast defense guns on the La
Guayra mountains were carried up to
the mountains last week.

PLANS FOR GREATER NAVY.
President, in Message, Will Ask for
Many Additions.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The president
will ask congress in his annual mes
sage, it is said, to grant four battle
ships annually. He adhers to his be-
lief that this is necessary. The presi-
dent will also urge additional appro-
pliations for the completion of naval
base at Pearl harbor and of the Ha-
waiian coast defenses, and he will
probably ask for increased facilities at
Mare island for handling naval vessels.
Another thing the president will ask
congress for is adequate provision for
equipping and defending the naval
base at Guantanamo, where the Navy
department has planned great yards.
The location of this naval depot is in
the vicinity of the Panama canal and
is regarded as of strategic Importance.

SELL GRAZING LANDS.
March of Civilization Causes Sheep
men to Dispose oe Holdings.

Lewiston, Mont, Oct. 29.-The sale
of nearly 80, 600 head of sheep here
this week by Waite, Elliott & Peck to
Fergus and Yellowstone parties marks
the retirement of another big Montana
woolgrowing firm which has for many
wears figured conspicuously in the busi-
ness.
With the influx of farmers from the
Middle West these great tracts of land
are becoming too valuable for agricul
tural purposes to justify holding them
for sheep ranges. Land that will grow
an average of over 35 bushels of high
grade winter wheat, without irriga-
ton, now commands about SIS per acre,
so it will be seen that these immense
tracts represent large sum of money.

WILL RENEW WAR.
AntGambIng League Still Wants to
Reform Nevada.

Reno, New, Oct. 28.-Undaunted by
its defeat at the polls at the city cleo
tion last Saturday, the AntiGambling
league today held meeting and made
plans for carrying the fight to drive
gambling out of Nevada to every city
in the state. Committees were ap-
pointed to organize clubs in every
county where efforts will be made to
secure popular vote on the question.
The league here intends to get out
another petition asking for another or
dinance and special election about three
months hence. Attributing its defeat
to the proximity of the general cleo
tion and business conditions, it believes
vote at that time will bring a good
majority in favor of closing gambling
in Reno. The league voted to keep its
hands off politics. for this year at
least, and no effort will be made to
have the candidates declare themselves
before the coming election.

Washington, Oct. %. - President
Roosevelt was so years old yesterday,
having been born October 27, 1858.
So far as is known, no special prepara-

the anniversary, and the president
probably passed the day very much ac-

everyday life. In the evening there was
a birthday dinner at the White House,
at which the members Of the presidents
family were Joined by few friends.

ed with a rate schedule marked mot to
be posted at the hearing in the gov
ernment suit to dissolve the Standard
Oil company, William S. Kallman, a
freight manager of the New York
Central railroad company, testified that
the reason for the order, despite the
interstate commerce law requiring that
tariffs be posted, was because the
road found it difficult to keep posted
papers from being destroyed.
