Blaine admitted he had only newspa-
per editorials, political speeches and
hearsay to back his accusations.
And upon such information vol
were willing to make allegations
which might jeopardize a United
States senator and which, If proved
true, might send him to the ~peniten-
tiary, Is that true?" asked Senator w.
B. Hepburn, the chairman.
Blaine made no answer other than
that he thought he was performing a
public duty by having ar investiga-
ton OF current report.
DO vol think 1t is a public duty
to bring charges against a United

stantiate them?" asked Chairman
Hepburn.

The four witnesses were adherents
OF Hopkins, who was a candidate FOR

in a speech here predicted that the
Panama canal would be ready fol-
use on July l, 1918.
The canal" he said, SIS the great
est constructive work since the Chris
tian era,
"If nothing untoward happens you
can count on that canal on July l,
1913. It's beer promised for July l,
1915, but I'll let o into the little Sc

WAR NEARLY OVER
lERLIN SAYS ITALY AND TURKEY
HAVE AGREED TO TERMS
OF ARMlsTIcE.
ExPEDITIONARY FORCE LANDS
Vanguard Of italian Army Of Occupa-
ton Reaches TripoIi and Disem-
barks as Fleet Shells Countryside
to Drive Moslems Back.

Berlin.-Reports from an authentic
source indicate that peace between
Italy n Turkey is not far off. 1t is
even declared that an armistice has
been virtually agreed upon by the
belligerents through the initiative Of
Germany.
1t is Understood that the transpor-
tation of the Italian military expedi-
ton will not be interfered with. but
that hostilities in all quarters will
cease. This is considered in Berlin
as equivalent to the ending Of the
war, or at least the warlike move
ments which will now be succeeded
by negotiations looking to a settle
ment.
1t Is regarded as probable that as
oon as the strong Italian army has
once disembarked at Tripoli, even
the Young Turk irreconcilables Will
begin to recognize, as apparently the
Ottoman government already does,
that there Is no hope Of Withholding
Tripoli from Italy. Then it Will be
possible for Turkey to enter into
peace negotiations with the prospect
Of reaching a less unsatisfactory con-
clusion than would result from a con-
tinuation of the conflict.
Tripoli.-The fast transports bear
ing a portion of the Italian expedi-
t1onary forces, arrived here. They
were escorted by warships and &C.
companied by the hospital ship Re-
gina d'Italia. The Decentralization OF
the troops began Immediately. the
greatest enthusiasm prevailing.
The batteries Of the fleet shelled
the surrounding country. which was
swept by the searchlights. Tripoli has
nothing more to fear from Turkish
attacks.
Hassurd Karamanli Is now mayor OF
Tripoli by decree of King Victor EN-
manuel. He sent a message of loyal
ty and devotion to the italian sover-
eign and the communication was also
signed by other notables Of Tripoli-
It expressed their satisfaction at
the Italian occupation Of Tripoli.
which they said represented the resur-
rection of their beloved country,
which aspired to be once more. as
at the time Of the Romans, a source
of prosperity and pride for the
metropolis.
Derna--Derna has been bombarded.
Hospitals and barracks were damaged
as well as other buildings and many
were killed and wounded. The bonn
bardment followed an unsuccessful at
tempt by Italian bluejackets to make
a landing from a warship in the har-
Dor.

Township Bonds.

Township Bonds. E~n~~4s.-N
Pierre.-Many tOwnsmen in the
western part of the state are taking up
the matter of bonding their townships,
and incidentally with road construc-
ton, the building of dams for the i'm
pounding of flood waters, to retain
as much of the surface water as they
can hold. Ash Creek township, in
northwestern Stanley, will vote on an
issue of $4,000 for that urpos and
Hayes township in the same county
on an issue of 81 1000. In the vicinity
of Murdo, in Lyman county, five differ
ent township have taken up the work
with sums ranging from $4,000 to So
900. The state immigration depart
ment has taken up the work of c
ing purchasers for such securities, and
finds that when they can secure the
securities of several townships in a
block they can get better offers than
for smaller issues of single townships.
This work will mean, when completed,
that the public highways in the west
ern counties Of the state will be
among the best of dirt roads, and the
townships benefited not only by their
roads, but by the water they can hold
in the dams as well.
Bull Boat Added to Curiosities.
Pierre.-A native bull boat. such as
have been used by the Dakota Indians
from time out of mind, has been re-
ceived by the department of history
and is now or exhibition in the state
museum. The boat was constructed
the past summer by Miss Knows How,
of the Cheyenne river agency, who
was temporarily residing at Fort Blu
ford, N. D., where she was met and
won by Mr.. Talking Feather. After
the ceremony the happy couple did
the unconventional and eluded their
friends by the water route, and hoated
down to their future home on h
Cheyenne river reservation. The boat
is about eight feet in diameter, being
circular in shape. The framework is
made Of willow saplings, one being
ben in a circle and four others being
bent around it to form a bowl. A COW
hide, hair out, is stretched over the
whole. Like the Esquimau's kayak,
none but an Indian can navigate the
craft. 1t is propelled by a paddle.

CHINESE REBELS TAKE CITY
WI Chang, Capital Of Hupeh Province,
In Hands of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
eiqn Residents UnmoIested.

Hankow, China.-The Chinese revo-
lut1onaries, in consequence Of the
feeling aroused by the execution OF
four of their members, ended a day OF
rioting at Wu Chang, capital Of the
province Of Hupeh, by capturing the
commander Of the troops there and
forcing the viceroy to fee for his life.
The battle between the loyal troops
and the revolutionaries, who have as
their primary grievance objection to
the governments use Of foreign money
in financing the building of new rail-
roads. lasted over twelve hours.
Foreign residents have not been
molested. according to advices re-
ceived here. The revolutionary COM
mittee 1T WI Chang issued a procla-
nation exhorting its followers not to
harm the citizens Of other countries.
During the riot fires were started
all over the town, the headquarters
Of the viceroy and of the provincial
treasurer were burned, the military
commander was killed by a dynamite
bomb and the viceroy himself was
compelled to run to the river and
take refuge on a yacht which steamed
away with him
Twenty-Five American missionaries
In WI Chang are known to be safe.
The fear of the Chinese officials
now Is that the disaffection will spread
to this city and every precaution Is
being taken to ward of this danger.
The foreign consuls have tele-
graphed their governments asking
that warships be sem to the scene at
once. The United States cruiser
Helena has been ordered here from
