John Neville, with Uie bitter's boy,
reached Cheyenne on the occasion of
th light from Independence after Uie
depot explosion. Orchard wanted more
money for his trip. Moran was
friend of Pettibone and he readily con
sented to run down to Denier to get Uie
money, aa Orchard did not feel safe in
showing himself in the Colorado city

Moran denied tbe stcry in every feat

name, hearing him called "Shorty,"
and he could not recognise pictures cf
the famoe witness when these were

ly left thU city for New York. Tlie let

'Two decade of rigid enforcement ol

This step means the collapse of the sg!

Uie various municipalit es not to recall

Appeal to Mrs. Russell Sag.
Berlin, July 8. An attempt will be
made to indue Mrs. Russell Sage, of
New York, to use part of her enormous
fortune to abolish th terrible white
slave trade, which is continually going
on between Europe and America. In
no manner oould Mrs. Sage immortal-
lie her husband's and her own names
Uian by wiping out this blot upon her
country's reputation, Germans say. Tb
white slave trade, it Is claimed, is in
creasing instead of lessening.

Navy Department Officials Still Try to
- Mlnlmfz th 'Importance of
, th Demonstration.
, Washington, July 6. Interest In
world politic and Uie possibility of
conflict with Japan wa renewed her
today when Uie definite new that
great fleet of Dnltod States warship
would be tent to the Pacific coast be
came generally known. Also a new
phase was put on the matter when it
became known that Uie move, ca leu 1st
ed a it is to impress JaLan that ahe H
not dealing with a pewer like Russia
hinge on something deeper than the
resentment of Japan at th treatment
her citisen have received that San
Francisco. The real issue, it is pointed
out bere, Is the open door in the Far
East.
Ostensibly It was for Uie open door
that Japan went to war with Russia
But after her victory tbe door of trade
in Manchuria and Coiea wa pretty
well blocked np with obstacle placed
by Japan, much to tbe discomfiture of
American and British merchant.
America was given assurances Uiat
th door would remain open and,
though Uie president 1 at Oyitei Bay
and other oUicia la of the government
are out of tbe city, it I reported here
that th United State Intend, if it
should become necessary, to be prepar
ed to insist that the Japanese govern
ment put no restriction in the way of
trade with the continent cf Asia.
While it has been constantly declar
ed by tbe ftavy department that no
menace to Japan Is Intended by the
dispatch of tbe fleet, and Ambassador
Aoki, of that country, has averted that
Japan will not conrtrue tb presence of
Uie fleet in th Pacific as such, it Is
understood here that the arrival of the
battleship squadron in tb Pacific
marks tlie initial step toward the
maintenance of a permanent fighting
fleet In the Pacific herealter.
Whether te entlte fleet of 18 vessels
which is now destined for the Pacific
remains there or not, it i asserted on
the authority of well intcrmed officials
that Uie American navy in Uie Pacific
will never again be inadequate to cope
with any emergency on Uiat aide of the
continent unless there is a vast change
in the aspect of international politics.
BELIEVE SCHMITZ BARRED.
Prosecutors Say Nam Cannot Legal

Ban Francisco, July 6. Announce
ment by Eugene . Schmits that he
would be a candidate for re-election to
tbe mayoralty this fall to a fourth term
unless bis appeal for a new tual is in
the meantime denied by the Appellate
and Supreme courts, baa raised Uie
question whether he can legally - go
upon Uie ballot. An examination into
the law on this point was made today
by Assistant District Attorney Robert
Harrison, and Uie tentative conclusion
was Uiat tbe mayor is barred.
SchmiU maintains that be is not con
victed until bis conviction by Uie Jury
in Judge Dunne's court is finally passed
upon and sustained by the Supreme
court of the state.
Coal Will Be Scarcer.
Rock Springs, Wyo., July 6. As a
result of the suits filed by the govern
ment against the Union Pacific Coal
company, fcroing that company to
abandon coal property alleged to have
been Illegally secured from Uie govern
ment, three ol Uie big coal mines situ
ated on the disputed property have
been cloeed down. The mine belong
to Uie Superior Coal company, which
la owned by the Union Pacific. The
effect will be a further shortage of coal
in the West.
Finn Arming to Fight Russia.
St Petersburg, July 6 The Novoe
Vremya declares It ha learned from
an official English source that the re
cent seisure of arms and ammuniUon
totaled 90,000 rifle and also several
million roubles' worth ot ammunition.
All this war material came from Ger
many and was reehipped via Newcastle.
The sis
of the shipment, the paper
Bays, is taken to indicate that the pur
chasers are Finns, as none ot the Rus
sian revolutionary bodies is sufficiently
wealthy to buy so much arms and am
muniUon. Flocking Over Border.
Mexico City, July 6. Two hundred
and seventy-five Japanese landed at
Santa Crux yesterday. The Japanese
are headed tor the coal mine iu the
district of Las Esperanza. Joseph Z.
Strand, a Chinese immigration inspec
tor stationed at El Paso, who arrived
in this city today, stated Uiat the Jap
anese are flocking to the border in great
numbers and buying tickets from
Juarea through to Canada, In order to

CARNAGE PALLS FOURTH.

Chicago, July 5. Tbe annual slaugh

rather under tb guise, of "patriot
ism." With 68 known victims, and
bundled of other groaning out tbeir
live in hospitals, it is certain that tbe
list of victims to Uie "Glorious Foarth"
will exceed 168, the total last year. In
1908. with all the precautions that
conu be taken by authorities, the total
injured reached nearly 6,000 and the
total this year when all the returns are
in, will be quite as large, mor likely
larger, for the fooJkiller ha been sadly
remiss in bia duty. Inventor have
brought forth new engine of destnx

Th toy pistol and cannon cracker
and deadly dyanmite cane have claimed
their usual quota. One peculiar feat
