People to Its Last Renting Place.
ROME, Aug. 9. The train bearing the
remains of the late King of Italy, which
left Monza at 4:28 P, M. yesterday, ac
companied by the Duke of Aosta, the
Count of Turin and the Duke of Oporto,
arrived here at G:30 A. M. today. Imme
diately after that hour, 10 non-commissioned
officers of Cuirassiers carried the
casket containing the body from the
train to the large hall of the railroad
station, -which had been transformed Into
a chapel bung with sable draperies, with
gold ornamentation.
The first chaplain of the court, assist
ed by a number of priests, pronounced
absolution and the cortege started
for the Pantheon, where rest the re
mains of Humbert's father. King Victor
Emmanuel L The sun was showing
through a haze, but the weather was not
hot.
The Immense space surrounding the rail
road station was entirely filled wltlh peo
ple, and as the casket was borne into the
open air all those present uncovered and
remained bareheaded while the procession
was In view. After the casket had been
placed on a gun-carriage. King Victor
Emmanuel II took his place at the head
of the Princes, who followed the re
mains. Behind His Majesty were the
Duke of Aosta, the Count of Turin, the
Duke of Genoa, the Duke of Oporto,
Prince Ferdinand of Genoa, and other
royal visitors. Following them were the
members of the diplomatic corps and the
special envoys.
Preceding the cortege, which was most
Imposing In Its magnificence, were a bat
ters' of artillery, a band of music and
then a battalion from each division of the
Italian Army and Marine corps, many
Army and Navy officers and representa
tives of the scientific and educational In
stitutions, the Mayors and municipal offi
cers of Rome and Turin, deputations from
all the Governmental bureaus of the Gov
ernment and behind these were the more
important state bodies. Including the
Cabinet Ministers, Senators and Deput'cs.

Just ahead of the casket were about 10")
priests and 100 friars, Including the court
chaplains.
The gun-carriage bearing the casket
was drawn by six horses and was sur

Grief of the People.
As the body of the dead monarch was
borne along towards the Pantheon, many
of those present in the crowded streets
wept freely. On the right side of the cas
ket walked the President oi' the Council
of Ministers. Signor Saracro; the First
Vice-President of the Senate and the
Chevalier Annunclo. On the left of the
casket were the Minister of Foreign Af
fairs, the Marquis Vlsconte Venosti; the
President of the Chamber of Deputie,
which was chanted, and then absolution
was again bestowed. As the archbishop,
assisted by all the clergy, blessed the
corpse, he bowed and Inclined as he
prayed before the King and Queen, after
the absolution and the celebration of
mass, during which the large Roman or
chestra, assisted by a choir of ISO voices
under Mascagni. rendered a selection
from the old Italian masters. On the
whole the ceremony at the Pantheon wa3
of a majestic character.
The members of the royal family and
the foreign Princes left the Pantheon at
11 o'clock and returned to the Quirlnal.
It is almost literally tru that Rome
did not sleep last night. People from the
provinces poured Into the capital to wit

were crowded so that circulation was
practically Impossible. It was a weird
sight, for. in addition to th funeral deco

LONDON, Aug. 9. A special dispatch
from Rome says that a sudden movement
of the crowd in the Via Nazlonale, as the
King's carriage In the funeral procession
passed, resulted in a panic during-which
20 persons were injured and several badly
crushed. The dispatch adds that it was

Memorial Services In France.
PARIS, Aug. 9. In almost every city
of France special services were held to
day in memory of the late King Humbert
of Italy. The memorial ceremonies in
Paris were very Imposing. They took
place at the Church of St. Clotllde and
were attended by the members of the

which was a very great favorite with the
deceased. The horse was covered with
long, black draping. Bringing up the
rear of the cortege were the flags of
the army with an honorary escort, sev
eral municipal and provincial deputa
tions, and finally a squadron of cav
alry. "When the head of the procession
reached the Pantheon, an enormous
crowd occupied every available foot of
space All the adjacent street and the
windows, balconies and terraces In the
vicinity were also filled with spectators.
Not a whisper of conversation Inter
rupted the solemnity of the scene, the
anul'itude remaining In respectful silence
with uncovered beads. As was the case
in the square before the railroad sta
tion, the streets through which the pro
cession passed were draped with black
and along the route poles were erected
covered with cypress branches and with
stringing of palms entwined with black
bunting stretching across the streets. In
numerable flags were displayed at half
mast and the funeral decoratlcns which
hung from the windows were so universal
throughout the city that it can be literally
said that the entire City of Rome was in
mourning.
During the march cf the procession sev

persons received slight wounds and SO
others were bruised.
The crush was caused by the shying of
an Aipine otneer s horse, frightened by

calm was restored and the cortege pro

MINER'S NARROW ESCAPE.
Fonr ,3Ien Rescued. From the Bis
Copper Mine at Bnrkemont.
Baker City Democrat
The evening of August 5, a round of
holes in the north drift of the Big Copper
mine was charged with dynamite, and
fired, when the day shift was off work.
Next morning four of the boys stepped
upon the cage and signalled tho engineer
to lower them Into the shaft At the
103-foot level they entered the drift where
the explosions had occurred the evening
before. Almost immediately a deadly gas
generated by the confined fumes of tho
powder seized hold upon them, and they
staggered backward toward the shaft
In the meantime the cage had gone up,
and Charlie Buzzard, who was the only
one that retained consciousness, struggled
to tho bell rope and frantically signalled
"down cage." The engineer was at his
post and dropped the cage through 100
feet of space just in time to allow Buz
zard to drag the foreman, Jake Kochen
sparger, and one of the others onto the
platform and to give a faint signal to
ascend, when he, too, fell unconscious
among the others.
"When the cage shot upward to the sur
face, anxious hands pulled the limp forms
of the three men out upon the floor
of tho shaft-house, and Buzzard, who had
partly recovered consciousness, with su
perhuman energy, reeled back to tho
cage, insisting on returning for his part
ner, who was still lying below, In tho
drift It required the strength of four
men to keep him back. At the same time,
two helpers in the blacksmith shop sprang
fearlessly upon the cage, and the en
gineer with his hand still upon the lever,
dropped them into the deadly shaft Al
most Instantly the signal bell was given
to ascend, and the two heroic black
smiths wero shot upward to the sur
face with the prostrate form of Billy
Barry between them.

Bryan, looking none the 'worse for tho
trying ordeal through which he had
passed, camo down town In a carriage
from Mayor Taggarfs home at 9:10 this
morning. He slipped into the Grand Ho
tel almost unnoticed, but was soon sur
rounded by tho crowd that had been
lounging about the hotel lobby. Asked It
he did not regard the notification at the
opening of the National campaign for
his party, Mr. Bryan said that he did.
Discussing his plans for the immediate
future, he said:
"I have two more notification speeches
to make, my letter of acceptance to Is
sue, a speech at the Grand Army en.
campment and a speech somewhere La
bor Daj I have promised to come here
for the meeting of the National Associa
tion of Democratic Clubs in September,
and I shall be present"
Asked if he would make another tour
of the country during the campaign, as
he did In 1896, Mr. Bryan said:
"I don't believe in making one's plans
known so far ahead."
The Bryan party. Including the Stev
enrons, Governor Thomas, of Colorado,
James D. Richardson, of Tennessee, and
several others left at 11:45 for Chicago.
A fair-sized crowd saw their departure.
The First Stop.
FOWLER, Ind.. Aug. 9. The first stop
of any account of the train bearing
Messrs. Bryan and Stevenson on their
way from Indianapolis to Chicago was
at Lebanon. There the two Democratic
candidates showed themselves to the as
sembled crowd and shook hands with
some of them. Mr. Bryan said:
"We are just returning from the noti
fication meeting, and we found the. In
diana people not only present in num
ber, but they brought their enthusiasm
with them. The work commenced yes
terday will be increased in energy and
vigor until election day, and then we
expect to hear from Indiana,"
Mr. Stevenson said: "I am very much
gratified to be able to inform you, gentle
men, that Mr. Bryan has accepted the
nomination. It had been a matter of
doubt whether he would or not but wo
have him on record."
To this Mr. Bryan replied: "But I
would not do It until Mr. Stevenson con
sented to run with me." The remarks
were accepted by the crowd with laugh
ter, and they cheered the candidates as
the train moved off.
Trouble Over the Landing; of For
eign Troops,
LONDON, Aug. 9. The flooded coun
try beyond Pelt Sang adds immeasurably
to the difficulty of the progress of the
allies toward Pekin. This news reaches
Shanghai correspondents from Tien Tsln,
with statements to the effect that the
situation at Tien Tsln Is again perilous,
owing to the assembling of Chinese
troops within striking distance.
The losses of the allies In the recent
operations are now said to be 1130 men.
of which number the Russians lost 000,
the Japanese 410 and the British 120.
International suspicion has broken out
among the Consuls at Shanghai on ac
count of the determination of the British
to land there a brigade of Indian troops.
It is reported that the French will also
land troops at Shanghai to the number
of 1200 men. While the Ministers at
Pekin remain unrelieved, It Is not under
stood why Great Britain should divert
forces destined for the relief expedition
to garrison a place where peace thus far
has beeen undisturbed.
A news agency dispatch from Che Foo,
dated Sunday, August 2. says a messen
ger from Pekin reports that the Dowager
Empress sent four carloads of food to the
Legations on July 2S.
The British Foreign Office is under
stood to have suppressed portions of the
last dispatch of the'Britlst "Minister at
Pekin, Sir Claude MacDonald, on the
ground that his explicit statements re
garding the quantity of food and ammu
nition available might be useful to the
enemy.
CORRESPONDENCE FROM JAPAN.
Chinese Leaving Vladivostoclt Spe
cimens of Boxer Placards.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 9. The Times
has the following by mail from its Kobe,
Japan, correspondent:
"Tho steamer Govo Maru called at
Chemulpa, July 4. on her way from Vlad
ivostok to Che Foo, having left the Rus
sian port on June 29. The captain stated
that the steamer carried 320 Chinese from
VJadivostock for Che Foo. It appears
that feeling against the Chinese was
very strong in Vladlvostock in conse
quence of the outbreak of hostilities in
China, and a general exodus of Chinese
was taking place.
"A number of inflammatory placards
have been posted up in the western sub
urbs of Canton, of which the following
are specimens:
" 'Kill all theGerman, the French, the
Americans andjj(the English. Drive all
the foreigners away and our hearts will
rest at peace. Act with all your minds
and strength and the great event will
be accomplished. It will take but a
few days for us to raise our troops.
When the red flag is waving aloft the
world will enjoy universal peace.'
" The four countries. Japan, America,
Germany and England' have swallowed up
the territory of the Ta Chlng and sub
verted all our plans. Our hearts are not
satisfied but when the red flag is float
ing and when we have raised our well
disciplined troops and driven away the
foreign devils the world shall enjoy uni
versal peace.'
"In consequence of such threats, man
darin guard-boats have been moored
alongside Shameon, ostensibly for its pro
tection. Liu Kung LI, the Viceroy of Liang Kl
ang, refuses to recognize the government
of Prince Tuan, and Is reported to be
busily engaged in beheading the insur
gents, who have been arrested and con
demned to death without obtaining the
approval of the board of punishment.
The executions are at the rate of five
or six men every day."
Both Men Are In Good Condition
Corhett Will Challenge 'the
Winner.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9. Everything is in
readiness for the big fight between Bob
Fitzsimmons and Gus Ruhlln tomorrow
night at Madison-Square Garden, and
both men are tonight In the pink of condi
tion. Fitzsimmons weighs 1C5 pounds, and
Ruhlln 195. From the present outlook
there probably will be 15,000 persons to
witness this bout and the fighters are to
receive 50 per cent of the receipts, the
winner taking 75 per cent. Charlie "White
will be the referee. The betting tonight Is
in Fitzsimmons' favor, small sums being
placed at the rate of ICO to SO. So far as
cin be learned, no large bets have been
made.
Champion James J. Jeffries tonight is
sued a statement in which he says:
"I have been in active training for the
past two weeks, rpeparing myself for the
emergency that may make it necessary
for me to defend my title before Sep

ing steadily, and. although I have been
advised by my physicians not to take a
chance until they declare the arm has
completely recovered its foimer strength,
a statement that they have refused to

that I will take the risk that the doctors
advise against, and now stand ready to
make a match for the championship with
the winner of tomorrow night's battle,
the bout to be decided In or fbout New
York City before September 1. If Gus
Ruhlln should win, I admit without ques
tion that he is entitled to the first chance,
and I am willing to grant it to him on
any fair terms before the club offering
tho best Inducements. He must meet me

months after that date. If Fitzsimmons

CUBAN JUDICIARY.
Havana Press Accuses It of Corrup
tion. HAVANA, Aug. 9. The press unani
mously criticises and condemns what it
terms the corrupt condition of the Cuban
judiciary system. Bold charges have
oeen made by the newspapers that
Judges and other members of the court
have been receiving fees for cases coming
to trial in the courts and which they
themselves have to decide. The Post
charges the Cuban judiciary with having
a compact organization, extending over
the entire system, so perfect chat "cor
ruption is conducted with absolute safe
ty," and adds:
"There aro members of the courts who
retain their law offices and leave tho
affairs of the offices to those who were
their clerks before they were on tho
bench. These clerks arrange the details of
representing the old clients of those
Judges and arrange the fees, etc.
"In this way a Judge upon a bench de
cides a case at Issue while really repre
senting one of the parties to the suit,
and the result may be Imagined In each
Instance In which this Is the case."
Will Assist China but Under Certain
Conditions.
VICTORIA, B. C, Aug. 9. Japanese,
papers publish a letter received by tho
Emperor of Japan from the Emperor of
China, much on the lines of those sent
to other powers, with this addition:
"We are of the opinion that the West-
em powers at present are rivals, while
China and Japan hold the balance in the
far East. Those countries which are
waiting their chance to secure new pos
sessions are watching not only China in
tho far East Should China fail to suc
cessfully oppose Western Invaders, Japan
may have her Independence threatened.
Thus China and Japan stand on the same
footing. We should cast aside any
small differences and try to pre
serve continued national existence
of our two countries. China is
now fully occupied in dispatch
ing troops for the suppression of rioters
and an alliance with a country whose
destiny lies along the same lines as hers
will succeed in dispelling troubles a.;
restoring order."
In his reply, after reading China a les
son on international law, the Emperor of
Japan says:
"If the Chinese Government promptly
relieves the foreign Ministers before the
foreign troops undertake the task, it
will show that tho Chinese Government
Is not tncllned to undertake open hos
tilities with the powers and the disaster
Impending on the Chinese Government
may thereby be averted. The Japanese
Government has enjoyed cordial rela
tions with the Chinese Government, and
Japan will not hesitate to assist China,
If necessary. If the Chinese Government
will make efforts to effect the prompt
f suppression of the rioters and to relieve
the foreign Ministers, Japan will protect
the interests of China when the time for
negotiations for peace with the powers
arrives in the future."

PORTLAND. Or., Aug. 9. (To the Edi

picious and practically to the efect that
the fire was Incendiary and an Inference
left that I set it or caused it to be set.
This Is a serious reflection on me and
a very unjust statement The fact is
that I carry a stock of at least $13,000,
upon which I had an insurance In the sum
of $7000. I am not in debt and had no
reason for setting or causing to bo set
the fire, and if the stock had been con
sumed I would have lost at least 000,
provided the entire Insurance was paid.
I make this statement for the purpose
of showing that I had no incentive for
setting the fire. In this article it is stated

VANCOUVER. B. C. Aug. 9. There
was no particular change in the local
situation of the machinists' strike today.
The main feature was the joining this
morning of tinsmiths, pipe fitters and
helpers. The strikers claim it is but a
matter of a day or two when the black
smiths and members of other unions will
leave and the full stiff of the local
shops will be on strike. On the other
hand the news from Winnipeg Is of a
more reassuring character and anticipates
a speedy settlement of the difficulty. The

New York Sun.
Some months ago the Secretary of
War, desiring to obtain from the com
manding officers of the various troops,
batteries and companies an authoritative
opinion, based upon their experience and
observation, of the canteen system of
supplying American soldiers with the fa
cility for obtaining, in moderate amount,
and under Government regulation, beer as
a beverage, sent out through the Adjutant-General
a number of questions on tne
subject. The chief ones wero as follows:
What opportunity, if any, have you
had to observe the workings of the can
teen system?
What, In your opinion, has been its ef
fect upon the morality of the enlisted
men?
What upon the discipline?
Are trials by court-martial more or less
frequent?
Has drunkenness increased or lessened?
To these inquiries more than one thou
sand replies have been received and, en
tirely apart from the opinions expressed
in them, a perusal of the answers as
published by the War Department shows
the terse, direct, soldler-llke and some
times blunt method of answering direct
questions which has been observed among
American officers as is tho case generally
among the officers of other armies. Thus,
Nathan Calm, Quartermaster-Sergeant at
Fort Porter, answered concerning the
abandonment of the canteen: "Increase
in desertion, crime, lying." Thomas
Dennis, Post Quartermaster-Sergeant at
Fort Wlngate, answered: "Bad ror the
soldier and bad for the Army; good for
the enterprising citizens in the vicinity
of the post." Quarter-Ma3tcr Sergeant
Bliss at Fort Bliss, Tex., answered in one
word: "Bad." So did Quartermaster-Sergeant
Guyot at Holquln, Cuba. From
Plattsburg Barracks came the answer:
"Would never do"; from Fort Meade,
South Dakota, "Better morals, better
discipline, better soldiers." From Fort
Barrancas, Fla,, "More drunkenness, more
absence without leavo, more court-mar
tials, discontent and more desertions.
From Manila came this response:
"Those who desire liquor (and most do)
will obtain it unmindful of effects upon
discipline and all that pertains thereto."
From Port Valdez, Alaska, came this re
sponse: "Absolute prohibition of the sale
of beer In the Army would. In my opin
ion, not have a good effect upon morale
or discipline." From San Juan, Porto
Rico, came this: "Men will get beer
somehow. If not in a respectable place
like the post exchange has been, then in
some saloon or grog shop outside of the
garrison." Fort Preble, Maine a Prohibi
tion state the Ordnance-Sergeant wrote:
"The canteen is all that is good." From
Fort Knox, in the same state, the only
comment on the proposed abandonment
of the canteen was "Increase of drunk
enness." Captain Ayres. commanding
Troop E, of the Tenth Cavalry, wrote:
"Men will drink, and soldiers should be
treated like men, not boys. Let them
drink, and when they violate the laws
punish them. They are Americans and do
not forfeit all their rights when they
enlist" The commander of the Third
Cavalry wrote: "I am unalterably op
posed to saloons and saloon-keepers. I
never can or will believe in saloons or
saloon-keepers, call them by what names
you please." One of the Engineers Corps
wrote: "It is an open question whether
the benefit derived from making it diffi
cult to obtain stimulants is not offset by
the deceit and trickery resorted to to ob
tain them."
The distinguishing feature of answers
from Army officers Is their lack of lndefl
nlteness and avoidance of evasion. They
use in their communications few words to
express an Idea, and do not appear to
count on or consider the possible effects
which the expression of their views, how
ever outspoken, may have. It Is this mili
tary directness which makes easy a de
termination In many matters of dispute
which otherwise would be a subject of
agitation. Practically, all of the officers
of the United States are of one opinion on
tho canteen.
COST OF 3IOHNEABX TBJCAL.
The County's Expense Bill Is Over
5100,000.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9. The conviction
of Roland B. Molineaux for the murder
of Mrs, .Kate Adams. It has been ascer
tained from an authentic source, was ob
tained at an expense to New York Coun
ty of more than $100,000, says the Herald.
One of the chief causes of this enormous
expense was the large amount of money
demanded by handwriting experts.
Among the other large expenses are tha
bills rendered by Professor WItthaus for
performing autopsies and making analy
ses of the contents of the stomach of Mrs.
Adams and Henry C. Barnet. to whom
Mollneux, it is charged, had adminis
ttered poison. Professor WItthaus charge
was $13,000. Professor WItthaus claim
and those of several others who were
connected with the case have not yet
been paid, because Controller Coler be
lieves they are excessive, and the matter
of settlement has given rise to a pro
tracted controversy between the Control
ler and District Attorney Gardiner. Mr.
Coler has written to the District Attor
ney notifying him that under no circum
stances will he pay Professor Witthaua
claim unless an ample reduction Is mado
from It, or unless he Is required by the
courts to do so.
This Invitation to sue. It waa learned,
will probably be accepted, nnd ultimately
the Controller expects to have to pay
the claim In full, because, as a rule, the
certificate of the District Attorney I3 ac
cepted by the courts as authority for
payment of such claims.
TWO YEARS' CHASE.
Kansas City Embezzlers Arrested at
Last.
CHICAGO. Aug. 9. After a two years'
flight, in which they almost circled the
globe and outwitted the police In a 3core
of European and American cities, Mr.
and Mrs. Abraham Weinberg were ar
rested last night in their apartments en
State street. They are charged In Kan
sas City with embezzlement, and De
tective Richard Wilson, from that city,
who has pursued them since their disap
pearance, conducted them back for trial.
Mrs. Ida L. Preston, widow of Colonel
Preston, of Kansas City, Is the complain
ant She accuses Weinberg and his wifo
of obtaining $000 worth of diamonds
which had been an heirloom In her hus
band's family and was all the property
left her. Weinberg kept a loan bank in
Kansas City, ana Mrs. Preston obtained
a loan of $2000 on tho jewels. When she
was ready to redeem her property, the
diamonds were not forthcoming.
Weinberg, the Kansas City police say,
was woll known to them by reason of
other complaints, and upon hearing of
the loss of tho Preston Jewels, the Chief
of Police ordered the man's arrest A
hearing for Weinberg and his wife was
sot and they wero released on ball. A
detail of detectives tried to watch every
avenue by which they might leave the
city. Nevertheless on the morning of
tho hearing there wern no Weinbergs in
the courtroom. From that the chase began.
