Weather Conditions.

A storm, moving up the Atlantic
coast has been attended by rains in
the eastern states and the lower lake
region, which is followed by slightly
cooler weather, with an area of mod
erately high pressure extending from
the gulf to the western lakes.
West of the Mississippi valley a
trough of low pressure extends from
Arizona northeasterly to Minnesota,
and there have been scattered show
ers in portions of the plateau region,
and the upper Mississippi valley.
Following the low area a field of
very high pressure is advancing from
the northwestern coast, causing cool
er weather on the Pacific slope. and
the temperature continues low in the
southwest.
Conditions indicate unsettled wealth
er. and probably local rains for this
section tonight or Thursday, becoming
cooler Thursday.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 18.-News

states that rebellion has broken out
in Korea. Several thousand natives
have declared war on the 5H2enese.
Japan annexed Korea about year

Viscount Terauchi was appointed
Japanese resident general. The en-
peror became prince, and now
ranks after the Japanese crown
prince. The administration of Korea
was transferred to the Japanese

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Oct. 49,
Captain Winfred c. Carr of the Sixth
field artillery was found dead in his
room at the army service school here
this morning with a bullet hole in his
head. A revolver clutched in his right
hand showed that his death was the re-
suit of suicide.
The fact that Captain Carr had re-

Lynch formerly attended school here
but army officers today refused te
state whether any friendship existed
between him and Capt. Carr.

SPECIAL TRAIN, Oct. 1s.-The ma

ed to extend his tour by some is
days.
Not even seven weeks of railroad
riding and campaignrNS from Boston
to the Pacific coast and back would

morning.
The original schedule called for the
termination Of the trip on Nov. l at
Washington. He will go to Kentucky
and Tennessee for several days The
program for these days has not been
completed. Unless the wanderlust
forces new extension of the trip, he
will reach Washington November Is.
A narrow escape from serious
wreck was the principal topic of con
versation on the train as 1t sped
across the desert today. Near Korso
Nevada last night the engineer or
the special discovered that a whee
had slipped tire. In another mile the
big tire would have left the whee
completely and would have ditchet
4 the entire train. The train was de

Fills With Water.

The accident was not discovered
until after an attempt was made to
resume the flight, when the damaged
chamber was found to be filled with
water and prevented his soaring into
the air.
After landing at Whitman the avia.
tor walked to the station on the st.
Paul road, where he telegraphed to
Winona and Minnesota. The gasoline
was loaded upon speed launch and
sent to the aviator, but the machine
had to be towed in here by the
launch.
The aviators actual flying tim.
was 50 minutes, in which period he
covered 10 miles. He left Minneapo-
lis at 911. Robinson said the air cur.
rents played havoc with his areoplane
and three times he believed he was

machine was tilted at an angle of AZ
degrees, and 1t was righted without

that he may have escaped recently

the peculiar method of killing his vic
