were supposed to concern affairs OF
administration in ManchUria.
Kokovsoff had previously declined
an invitation to visit Japan for such
a conference, and Hardin was agreed
upon as a meeting place. In accept
ing the invitation, the Russian minis
ter said that political questions must
be barred, as he was competent only
to discuss financial and technical SUB
jects, these concerning the status OF
the Manchurian railroad. The con
ference had been announced widely
in advance and it was generally
known when the diplomats would
reach Hardin.
AN ORGANIZED PLOT.
The assassination of Prince Ito ap-
pears to have been the outcome OF an
organized plot.
The local authorities who, antici-
pating the arrival of Prince Ito, were
on the lookout for suspicious charac-
tiers, arrested yesterday three Ko-
reans who were at the station and
were found to be armed with re-
vOlvers. However, the task OF guard
ing the prince was rendered difficult
by reason of Japanese COnsuFGeneral
Kawakan's request that the railway
officials permit all Japanese to enter
the railroad station TO greet the
prince. The police point out that it
was quite impossible to distinguish
Koreans from japanese by their ap-
pearance.
The Russian minister of finance, NJ.
Kokovsoff, and the Russian military
authorities accompanying Prince Ito
were exposed to the same danger
from flying bullets as was the prince.
Indeed, Kokoysoff was nearer the
Japanese envoy at the time Of the
shooting than were those who were
wounded. Had the assassin delayed
for a moment the shooting, the foreign
consuls would have been in much
danger, as Ito was approaching them,
and they would have been directly in
the line of fire.
The body of the slain statesman
has already been removed home
ward. The coffin, before it was placed
on the train, was covered with flow
ers sent by Nj. Kokovsoff and the Rus
sian and Japanese officials. The Rus
sian ambassador to Peking is accom-
panying the body to Kwdn Ching Tsu
All along the railroad line hOnors are
being shown to the dead statesman
Minister Kokovsoff has telegraphed
his condolences to the Japanese gov
eminent.

FILLING OUT
WITH OIL CAKE
STEAMSHIP WHITEHALL, PART
LY LOADED AT NEW ORLEANS,
is TAKING LARGE CoNsIGN-
MENT At L. & N. WAREHOUSES.

Loading the British steamship
Whitehall at Commandments dock with
oil cake Is something of an expert
ment, for upon the time Of despatch
OF the steamer depends a great deal
whether or not many millions Of
pounds of the product will be handled
at Pensacola, and WOrkmen on the
docks are working with success in
this line in view, for they know in
creased exporting here means that
much more work at this point.
At New Orleans the Whitehall
loaded about II 900 sacks OF oil cake
for Aarhus and AaIborg, but that par
tial cargo did not by any means fill
the ship. A berth in the slip was as
signed and yesterday four matches
were easily supplied with the COM
pactly< sacked oil cake. 1t comes TO
the city in bulk carload lots, and from
cars is sacked by hand. This is 4
comparatively slow method, but work
men moved swiftly and supplied
sacks to all matches, thus keeping four
engines on the ship busy. Favorable
comment by exporting officials was
made yesterday on the rapid and
smooth manner in which things were
carried on, and the indications are
that the port Will be favorable to eX-
porters who are just now sending a
lot to the old country and are look
ing to the port which shows the most
expeditions method in handling all of
feTed, and in any quantity.

An automobile party was touring
through mountainous district of one
of the states and had made stop in
one OF the small towns to make some
sepairs to the lachne. While they
waited the attention of one of the par

lad of about fourteen WHO seemed to be
very much interested in the work and
of whom the following question was
asked:
Say, son, what do you live on out
