tutionalist forces in the Tuxpam dis
trict. has requested the Huasteca Oil

Chair But Slightly Damaged.


Closer examination today of the coro-
nation chair in Edward the Confessor's
chapel showed that the damage was
slight and easily repaired. The corona
ton stone was not injured at ALL In
fact, most of the damage done affected
the wall Of the chapel behind the chair.
The abbey was open as usual today,
except for the chapel. where the bomb
was placed and in which an immense
amount of SCOT, dust and dirt fell as the
result of the explosion.
A large congregation. composed mostly
of women, attended morning service. Ex-
tensive precautions were taken and every
visitor was closely scrutinized. The police
have the description Of number of wom-
en- who were seen in the vicinity before
yesterdays explosion, but no arrest has
yet been made.
A determined attempt was made by
militant suffragettes this morning to burn
the ancient Church Of ST Margaret's, at
Chipstead, fourteen miles southeast of
London. Three distinct fires, fed by fire
lighters, composed of squares Of felt sat-
urated with oil, were set by the larson
squad" The rector, Rev. William H.
Stone, and the villagers. were soon on the
scene and were able to extinguish the
flames before much damage had been
done. The church dates from the twelfth
century.
The police are persisting In their harry
ing tactics against the militant suffra-
gettes, to whom they are determined not
to give any rest. Today they raided a
private house in Kensington, where the
Wild Women established their headquar-
tiers after their offices in Westminster
had been invaded and closed few days
ago. Great quantities of papers were
seized by the police. but no arrests were
made.

LONDON, June 12.-Expressions Of
anger at the vandalism of the militant
suffragettes were more vehement than
ever today among the general public
which was reused to a state of intense
excitement by yesterdays attempt to
blow up the historic coronation stone
and chair in Westminster Abbey.
Demands for the drastic punishment
Of the women engaged in this cam
paign of destruction are heard on
every side. The leniency of the gov
eminent in releasing the woman Grim
mails after few days detention In
Jail is generally condemned.
The hope was widely expressed today
that Reginald McKenna's suggestion
of. the prosecution of subscribers to the
funds of the militant suffragette or
ganization would stop, to large ex-
tent, the flow of income to the cof-
fers of the women engaged in the
widespread activities undertaken by
that society.
It is known that much Of the money
handed over by the largest subscribers
is sent in with the earmark Education"
Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst, the militant
leader, being left to decide what that
means. 1t Is believed, however, that this
clause in the gift will not prevent the
law reaching the persons who provide the
funds used for crime.

~ASSESSABLE LANDS
Increase In the States Is 1,O2S,505
Acres Over 1912.

Pierre, May 22.-According to the
reports filed by the different land Of
fees in the state, the new acreage
which will be added to lands for as
sessment for the first time this year
will be $4,000 acres, with an in
of 1,02S,505 acres for 1913
owe 1912. The probabilities are
that the new acreage which will be
added from final proofs will be on
the decline from this time on, as none
of the Indian reservations which yet
remain TO be Opened to settlement"
will have any great amount of land
for the settlers after the Indians and
the state take their allowances out
of the reserves. BY district Rapid

COUNTY DIVISION.
Plans TO Divide Stanley Discussed at
Public Meeting.

Philip, May ga large mass
meeting, attended by representatives
from many sections of Stanley coun-
ty, was held here last night. The
topic up for consideration was the di-
vision of the county, and an earnest
attempt was made to adopt some plan
that would meet the approval of the
various sections of the county. Rep
resentatives were present from Ka-
doka, Belvidere, Cottonwood, Fort
Pierre. Milesville, Ashcreek and Har-
dingrove, and the matter was dis
cussed until a late hour in the night
without arriving at any definite pro-
gram. The south side of the county
seems favorable to a three-county di-
vision such as will give that section
of the county along the Milwaukee
railroad a new county, to be known
as Jackson county. The far west end
of the county seems disinclined to
accept any county division at this
time.
At Philip and at Fort Pierre the
sentiment is much divided among the
various proposed plans, with consid-
able opposition to any division.
In the northern part of the county
two plans are put forward, one a
two-county plan that contemplates
the division of the county into prac-
tically two equal parts by a north
and south line, thus forming a new

Mitchell Citizens VIII Take Stock i'm
Luce Short Line.

Mitchell, May 22.-Direct electric
railroad connections with Minneapo-
lis within the next twenty months
was forecast by Col. T. d. Luce, gen
eral manager of the Luce electric
system, at a mass meeting Of Mitchell
citizens last evening. In response to
this promise the vote was carried to
buy $4,000 of stock to insure Mitch
ellis connection with the system.
The projected line is a continue
ton of the interurban nov building
southwest from Minneapolis, through
Marshall, Mimi, to Brookings. The
necessary amount of stock has been
subscribed to extend the line of the
system to Madison, and Mitchell will
be the next point.
1t is said construction work has al
ready been done for forty miles on
the line outside of Minneapolis, with
trains already in operation for seven
teen miles over double tracks. The
proposition has been under consider
alton in Mitchell for two months.
According to Col. Luce, the ultimate
destination of the road is the Mis-
souri, river, with a probable route
through Wheeler and Armour.
Since the agitation for a third road
into Mitchell has assumed definite
shape, there have been representa-
tives of three railroad systems in

A NEW COMET
Is Seen from Naval Observatory In
Washington.

Washington, May %. - Moving
siftly east by south, the comet dis
covered by European astronomers
five days ago was seen from the
United States naval observatory here.
As it melted into the haze above the
northwestern horizon it appeared to
be a large patch of nebulous light,
without nebula or tail. Deep haze
prevented the taking of an accurate
observation. The comet was not far
from the bright star Capella and APP
peared to be moving much nor rap
idly than was indicated by the OBJ
servation of the European astrono-
mers last week.
