Tho statement that she moved noise lessly may be difficult to prove, for bedlam broke lose almost simultaneous ly with the Nebraska and wild cheer ing from 40,000 throats drowned the music of half a dozen bands and made the roar of the big cannon on the Unit ed States monitor Wyoming seem faint and far away. Taking up the refrain, whose key was pitched under the build ing Bheds of the yards every steam whistle between Ballard and Black river turned loose and hundreds of craft ranging in size from giant steamships down to launches and every locomotive on the water front added to the music with whistle and bell. Pully 50,000 people, viewed the cere monies and saw the big vessel Blip into the water, bhe created but a very small wave as she took hei maiden plunge, and floated out gently and gracefully. Naval men who viewed the launching stated that it was the most successful they ever saw. Miss Mary Nain Mickey, daughter of the governor of Nebraska, christened the vessel. Heart Disease Causes the Death of Postmaster General. Washington, Oct C.Henry O, Pavne. postmaster general of the United States, a member of the nation al'Republlcan committee, a stalwart of his party, with the history of which, in his homo state and nationally, he had been Identfled for many years, died at his apartments at the Arlington hotel at 0:10 last night, aged 00 years Death was due to disease of the mitral valve and dilation of the heart. Mr. Payne has been in poor health for at least two years, hut hia last ill ness covorcd only seven days, an attack of heart trouble last week proclpltat ing tho end, at a time wiien, alter a test, he appeared to have recovered a small measure of the vitality impaired by years of arduouus labor. Death came alter nearly six Hours ot uncon eclousness. The last official caller to inquire as to Mr, Payne's condition was President Roosevelt, and he had been gone only about ton minutes when the stricken member of tho cabinet ex pired. The death ot t io postmaster general came as the result really of a succes Bion of sinking spells due to a weak heart that emeeblou the sick man un til finally tho heart literally gave out Never in lecout years robust, Mr. Payne was unable to withstand tho shock of tho sinking spoils, and last Friday, when he had two sinking spells, it was believed he was rapidly approaching the end. While moderate doses of heart remedies sufficed at first, it became necessary by Sunday to give much more powerful stimulants, and the doses were given in greater quanti ties than oq any previous day. SOVEREIGNTY IS RECOGNIZED. FIGHT AT SEA Russian Fleet at Port Arthu Ventures Out PORT IS EXPECTED TO GIVE UP Onlnlon Based on Assertions That Squadron Would Make no Sortie Hope Was Gone. Until Toklo, Oct. 7.-Tokio has advices that late yesterday evening a naval bat tie had occurred at Port Arthur. Wbllo no details are obtainable other than that the fight Is said to have followed a sortie on the part of the Russian squad ron, tho belief prevails that thoro can bo no doubt aa to the outcome Tho Russian vessels, as la well known, are in no condition to moot Admiral Togo's woU-equipped and thoroughly repaired fleet. In addition to this, tho Hub- sinus are greatly inferior in numbers. A sortie at. this Mine by the Russian fleet would hava peculiar significance, SB it would indicate the land forces found their petition had become tin ton able, and tho fall of the stronghold is now expected to follow riuickly. It line been stated on numerous occasions late ly. anil on tho best of authority, that tho battle-torn fleet bottled up in the harbor of tho Port would make no fur the. attempt to escape, until the last hope, of relief or holding out had gone.

Diplomats on Isthmus of Panama Will Be Accredited to America. Washington, Oct. 6. jUhileias formally recognized the absolute sov ereignty of the United States over the Panama canal zone. Other nations which have been holding back to await the outcome of the diplomatic test case will do the same. The result will be that practically all the foreign diplo mats on the isthmus will be accredited to this country instead of Panama. Chile some time ago applied for an equatum for Greonimo Oseo, who was The re- of Montana, on the ground of alleged frauds committed by the patentees in securing the same. It is charged that the patents were secured under the direction of Robert M. Cobban, who later transferred the land to Clark. Cobban is alleged to quest was withhold, owing to the un settled condition of affairs. Though tms country exercises lull control over the canal zone, the land belongs to Panama . Today the secretary of state disposed of the question by issuing the exequatur, but instead of being European Statesmen Believes She Has Designs on Trade. Paiis, Oct. 7. Some European statesmen are seiiously -oncorned for the economic future of Ktiropo, Cer tain among them, see, or fancy thoy see, a deep-laid scheme on the part of the United States for absorbing the commerce of Asia, and appear to think tho moment has arrived to issue a seri ous note of warning. Today M. Melin, ex-prime minister and leader oi the French Protectionists, sounds an alarm in the Republinue Francaiee in an article entitled "Tho United States in Asia." M. Melin snys no mistake should bo made by Europe. Ho says it is In the direction of the Far East America is evidently turning its commercial am bition. England, says, will prefer to throw itself into the arms of the great American republic, which is close to her and may render her eet vice. In conclusion M. Melin says: "One cannot refrain from rattier melancholy reflections on the commer cial and economic future of old Europe. The more her industry increases that much more her machinery improves. and the rcipre her warehouses are cram med with goods, just so much tho more restricted and narrow her expansion abroad becomes. She now finds herself in the.
