ADDRESS OF SChRANK

Declared That the Echo of
the Shot Fired at Milwau-

Election Result.

Milwaukee, Nov. 22.-The commits
sion of alienists investigating the con-
dition Of John Schrank, who shot
Colonel Roosevelt, reported unanimous
ly today that he was insane. The
are as follows:
First-Schrank is suffering an insane
delusion of systematized varity.
"Second-In our opinion he Is insane
at the present time.
"Third-On account of the connec-
tion between his delusions and the act
with which he stands charged, we are
Of the opinion that he is unable to
confer interrigently with counsel on
the conduct of his defense"
The address by Schrank to the COM
missioners in which he apologized for
the unpleasantness in making them
decide that matter (which would have
been better tried by higher than an
earthly court" was included in the
report. In It Schrank reviewed the
vision" in which he claims to have
looked into the dying eyes Of the late
President Mckinley, when a voice
called me to avenge his death. I am

real mission on this earth is to die for

annual MEETING
Of THE AMERICAN
MINING CONGRESS
Fifteenth Session Will Be
Held Next Week at Spo-
kane-Location of Perma-
nent Headquarters.

Spokane. Nov. 22.-Secretary Coll
breath and other officers Of the Amer
lean Mining congress have arrived to
complete arrangements for the
fifteenth annual session Of that body
to be held in this city during the first
half of next week. The important sub
jects scheduled for consideration and
the prominence of many Of the men
who will participate combine to give
promise of the most notable gathering
of its kind ever held in this country.
The congress Is a practical organic
alton, devoting itself to economic, ad-
ministrative and commercial matters,
or what might be termed mining poll
tics, rather than to the technical
phases of mining. It's annual conven-
tions are held for the purposes of
keeping in closer touch with the needs
of the mining industry. They provide
an open forum for full discussion of
the more important subjects through
which all persons who have plans for
the betterment Of mining conditions
can be heard.
The location Of permanent headquar-
ters of the congress is one Of the lead
ing matters to be discussed and acted
upon at the coming meeting. Inasmuch
as the principal activities of the ma
tional body have to do with federal
legislation, 1t is the opinion Of many
of the members that it would be wise
to locate the permanent home Of the
mining congress In the city Of WASH
ington, leaving to the various state
chapters the responsibility Of looking
after state legislation.
Others incline to the view that In
Denver as some other city in the west
the permanent headquarters should be
established. 1t is proposed to erect a
permanent home for the congress, con-
tanning a complete mineral exhibit, a
complete naming library and other
features to make readily available all
information about the mines Of the
country.

Oonstant1nople, Nov. 22.-One of the
causes Of the rejection by Turkey OF
the conditions Of the armistice was the
opinion held that the conditions pro-
posed deprived Turkey Of the possibil-
ity Of resuming hostilities in the event
of failure to settle on terms of peace.
This, from the Turkish point of view,
meant no armistice at all. The terms
stipulated by the Balkan states pro-
vided for the surrender of Adrianople
with it's garrison, for the evacuation of
the Tchatalja lines in front of Constan-
tinople and for the surrender of Scutari,
Durazzo and Dibra. No mention was
made of Constantinople or the Dar-
