ST. PETERSBURG. July 23. Though It
wan predicted that there would be some
disorders In St. Petersburg today, the
day was as uneventful as yesterday,
which was observed as a memorial day
for those killed on January 22 lasL Agi
tators In Nizhni. Novgorod, Vitebsk. Qur

there was no loss of life and no serious
affrays so far as reported.

of the murder of Baron Blstrom. a popu

FARRELL WILL REST.
President of Great Northern Steam
ship Company Iteslgns.
SEATTLE. Wash.. July 23. (Specia!.)
'J. D. Farrell. president of the" Great
Northern Steamshop Company and assist
ant ,to the president of the Great North
ern Railroad, has resigned and. will leave
railroad work permanently, as soon as his
successor arrives. Howard. James; now
president of the Northern Steamship Com
pany, which operates Hill's Great Lake
lines, will probably be -wad vice-president
of the Great Northern. .Steamship
Company and aent here in charge of the
Seattle offices of the company. No Ap
pointment of an assistant to the "presi
dent of the Great Northern is probable
tor- the present.
Mr. Farsejl le leaving the Great North -era
becase he wants rest He threat
ened te resign a year ago and wouW have

aaent-wHh Pr44W.-sJ. HH1. an-oM and

main until the Dakota and Xlanesota.
were running upon an established sched
ule. "I am 49 yeara of age and I have been
working in railroad business for 2E years,"
Mr. FarreH told a friends "If. I am going
to get any enjoyment out of life I must
get It now, for I'll be too old after a.
while."
A trip toEurope ln the Fall wfll be
Mr. FarreH'a first pleasure excursion.
What lie wjll do later is problematic but
he will call Seattle bis home and give at
tention to -a fancy ranch of 250 acres he
owns near Renton. On that ranch is a
large amount of stock sent him by Presi
dent Hill from his famous Minnesota
ranch.
Mr. Fan-ell's rise in the railroad work
is one that Involves a remarkable story
of success. He began at 21 as & Id borer
with an, extra track crew working on the
Chicago. & Northwestern. That was In.
1877. In the meantime he has been a
clerk in the construction department,
superintendent of bridges and buildings,
local agent, freight and passenger con
ductor, division superintendent, superin
tendent of construction, assistant general
superintendent, president of' the Pacific
Coast Company and has occupied the two
Great Northern -positions he now laj-s
down.
When C S. Mellen resigned Mr. Far
rell's name was proposed as his succes
sor. It is known that he would have had
the Hill support for that place but for
his own opposition. Mr. Farrell did n6t
want it. He could have gone to New
Tork under advantageous conditions, but
he refused to leave 'the West. As he
briskly put It he did not propose to live
in the East.
When Mr. Farrell left the comparlUvely
soft berth as president of the Pacific
Coast Company two and a half years ago
to go to the Great Northern Steamship
Company, he did jso with the express
understanding his authority was to be
absolute and that he need not remain
after the boats were actually in service.
This was President J. J. Hill's suggestion
and the salary paldMr. Farrell was the
largest in the list of big Great Northern
salaries. The question of salary, though,
was not a matter of much moment to Mr.
Farrell for he Is now a man of indepen
dent means. He has said he proposes to
enjoy life and he will. If escape from
work means enjoyment.

the Sessions of the Body Will
Be Entirely Secret.
WASHINGTON, July 23. The grand Jury
for the District of Columbia will take up
allegations that there has been Jugglery
In the cotton crop statistical reports of
the Department of Agriculture, with a
view to possible indictment or indict

among other things, "certain criminal
practices alleged to exist and to have
oxlsted in one of the executive depart

which one of the departments this state
ment had reference to. but It is- known
that it relates to the Department of Ag
riculture. Mr. Beach's statement adds:
"Pending action by that body. It is ear
nestly hoped, as It Is confidently believed,
that no inquiries will be made of the
District Attorney's office on the subject.
To inquire of any members of the grand
Jury or a witness, either under subpena or
after discharge, as to anything transpir

interviews with the press. They have al
ways shown this offle'e the greatest con

inviolable. But the very limited time and
force at his disposal render this jcourse
imperative, and no further statement will
be made until the grand Jury announces

is pending it must, as the law commands,

Conference.
NAVY STORE IS TO BE USED
Building Just Completed Is Very
Well Salted to the Needs or the
Occasion State to Share
In the Expense.
PORTSMOUTH. N. H- July 25.
Preparations for the peace conference
are progressing rapidly and satisfac
torily, and by August 5, the day on
which tho plenipotentiaries are ex-,
pected to reach Portsmouth frpra
Oyster Bay on board the Mayflower
apd th Dolphin, all will ho in readi
ness for their reception.
The" Washington Government and
the .State of New Hampshire are co
operating: in tne effort to make tha
surroundings of the conference as
hospitable as possible, and are receiv
ing generous assistance from the peo
ple of Portsmouth and the adjacent
villages of Klttery.Me- where the
navy-yarJ is located, and Newcastle,
N. H- near which the plenipotentiaries
will have quarters in the Hotel Went
worth. Mr. Pierce, the third assistant Sec
retary of State, who is acting- for the
President in directing the arrange
ments, left tonight for Washington,
where he will provide for the shipment
of the necessary furniture for the
equipment of the navy general store,
which is to be used Tor the sessions of
the conference. As this equipment
will be or no use to the Government
after the conference Is over, it will be
rented.
Mr. Pierce will spend tomorrow in
its selection, and it should be in place
early lnext week. Before leaving for
Washington Mr. Pierce had- a confer
ence with Rear-Admiral Mead, com
mandant of the navy-yanl. regarding:
the details yet to be arrangej in con
nection with the reception of the mis
sions and the sessions of the confer
ence. The tentative programme provides
that the plenipotentiaries shall .land
at. the navy-yard and go Immediately
to the offce of the commandant, offi
cially to pay their respects. Tho ar
rival of the two missions will be her
alded by the firing of an Ambassa
dorial salute for each mission.
Tne marine guarJ, which has re
cently been Increased, will render the
prescribed salutes and may escort the
party from the navy-yard through the
town of Portsmouth to their quarters,
n distance of about five miles. 'As the
navy-yard is on the Maine side of the
Piscatnqua River, the Governor of
New Hampshire will probably receive
the plenipotentiaries in Portsmouth,
and formally welcome . them to the
State. He will at the same time ex
tend to them an invitation -to be the
truexts of the State on a tour of the
New Hampshire Mountains upon the
conclusion of the negotiations.
The State of New Hampshire has
alrcadS requested to Te permitted to
bear the expense of entertaining the
plenipotentiaries throughout the con
Terence, which will probably be
cranted. the Washington Government
undertaking the entire expense of the
equipment of the quarters for the con
ference.
The navy general store, while archi
tecturally a plain building of brick
and steel construction, has Just been
completed and is admirably suitable
for such a meeting place. It has an
imposing entrance finished in stone.
and leading up from this to the sec
ond floor i a broad stairway. The
entire sc-Qnd floor will be given over
to the plenipotentiaries and as mucn
of the remainder of the building as
may be needed. Indeed, tho whole
building, which has never been occu
pied, will be turned over for their us.
A marine guard will be In attend
ance through the sessions, and there
will be telegraph offices near at hand
ind telephones, that the envoys may.
keep In close touch with their Govern
ments and with Oyster Bay.
Two States will share the honor of
being connected with the great meet
ing, for each day the plenipotentiaries
will come from Newcastle. N. Hv' to
Klttery. Me, for their meetings. But
the scene of contact will .invariably
be on the Maine side of the river. In
the arrangements at the Wentworth
care. has been taken that each mission
may have absolute seclusion at all
times. Although practically Identical
in furnishings -and general desira
bility, the quarters for the Russlnn and
Japanese envoys are In cast wings of
the .hotel, each suite with its dining
room and reception rooms, and each
its private entrance. Both command
views of the ocean, all of the rooms
f.irlnir on the ocean side, anJ the
suites-set aside for the-chiefs of theJ
two missions open onto wide verandas,
which will be exclusively for their
ute.
The envoys will he taken to the
navy-yard when the weather is fair in
launches to be supplied by the Navy.
Automobiles and carriages will take
them, around through Portsmouth, a
dlstance-of about five xnjles. when the
weather is not propitious or when they
prefer this trip' to the ride by water.
It is not expected that the sessions will
commence much before 2 o'clock In the
afternoon, if that early, as the ar
rangements provide for noonday break
fast for the Russian mission.
These details, however, and the
number of sessions each -day will, of
course, be left entirely to the plenlpo
lenUaiies. the arrangementsrToy the
Washington Government being con
fined to the fitting up of comfortable
and suitable quarters and providing
adequate- protection from Intrusion
and every possible facility for the per
sonal comfort of the envoys.
From an authoritative source It is

to complete .its work. The signing of
this truce, It is expected, will form

Throughout Portsmouth and the vi
cinity the keenest interest is displayed
in the conference, and the people are
taking much 'pride in the arrange
ments. The outlook, is that the pleni

WOUNDS IN THE WAR.
Observations of a Rassian -Sttrgeoa
oa the Battlefield.
Unlttd Srrlee.
The "Russian Surgeon Z. von Man
teufel has sent a communication to the
Revue Jiedlcale Hebdomadal re. of St.
Petersburg, concerning the wounds he
has had occasion to treat during the
war. Most of the wounds in the head
were cured, but some of them gave rise
to interesting cases of asphasla and
agraphia, or the loss of the power of
expression by means of speech or writ
ing, which power was generally,
though not always, recovered. The
wounds In the abdomen frequently re
sulted in peritonitis, more especially
when the removal of the wounded had
talcen place too quickly, or had been
effected by mean of badly-hung mili
tary conveyances. Where the peritoni
tis was circumscribed a cure generally
followed; but where it was greatly'ex
tended. the issue was fataL Laparo
tomy? more particularly when the sur
gical operation was performed on the
field of battle, was found to be worse
than useless. Wounds In the lungs
were surprisingly lesa serious in their
results. Cases were numerous in which
a ball had traversed the lungs, and the
patient, after merely an occlusive
dressing of the external wounds, had
been able to walk to the nearest sta
tion; although, in order to effect a
cure, rest was essential In addition to
the dressing? these two sufficing unless
fever supervened In consequence of in
ternal hemorrhage. In that case, tap
ping was resorted to after a week to
u fortnight had elapsed, and when this
failed thoracotomy was performed.
With regard to the nature of the
wounds caused by the different pro
jectiles fired at various distances. Dr.
von Manteufel did not observe any
cases of hollow vessels pr organs of the
body bursting in consequence of being
struck by a bullel at close quarters.
In previous wars these cases have been
produced by bullets fired at from one
to -(00 and even 600 paces, or. where
the head has been struck, at from one
to 800 paces. From 800 to ISO) or 1600
paces the wounds produced have had a
ragged edge, according to previous
war experiences: and beyond 1600 pacea
contusions without penetration have
resulted. But these experiences have
not been confirmed In the present war
In the case of bullets fired from the
small-bore Japanese rifle, and. as has
been mentioned above. Dr. von Manteu
fel had observed no effects of bursting
even when the wounds had been pro
duced by firing at short distances. The
cases of wounds in the head observed
by him. however, had all been pro
duced by firing from distances of over
600 paces. It Is probable, therefore,
that all head wounds at shorter dis
tances were fatal before aid could ar
rive. PEANUT CULTURE.
Superiority ot the Mexicans in Grow
in tho Xut.
Mexican Herald.
Where do the peanuts in Mexico come
from? This is & question that few people
can answer. Everyone has noticed that
the Mexican peanuts are of a superior
variety and that they are. very cheap, yet
few people know that the haciendados in
Oaxaca make the raising of peanuts one
of their principal side lines, and ever
year ship hundreds of bushels of them
to the capital and the other cities In the
republic
In Mexico, as in the United States, the
peanut is one of the most popular knick
knacks. Ever day dozens of peanut-venders
may be seen around the Alameda and
other places where people gather. It will
be found that the peanuts sold by most of
these venders are very large and perfectly
roasted. It Is very seldom that a peanut
is found that has been burned while roast
ing. It will also be noticed that for a
Mexican cent nearly as many peanuts can
be bought as is given in the United States
for 5 cents gold.
The climate and soil of the State, of Oax.
aca is especially adapted to the growth of
peanuts: There Is scarcely a plantation in
the state that does not cultivate the vine.
When the nuts have matured they are
gathered and shipped without having been
roasted. On their arrival here they are
taken to the very common form of Mexi
can oven. The oven set apart for the
roasting of peanuts has a large circular
piece of fine netting in the interior. This
netting is so arranged that the ends can
be closed, making it look like a great corn
poppor. Several bushels of peanuts are
placed In this net and then turned slowly
over a charcoal Are. This process of. roast
ing is a most successful one. as every nut
is thoroughly roasted, if the work is prop
erly done, and there Is Utile chance for
the peanuts to be burned.
After roasting, the peanuts are sold to
the venders. The venders buy them for lit
tle money, and even with the large quan
tity that is given when they are bought at
retail they make a large profit. The prc
fuseness o.f their growth makes them very
cheap on the plantations where they are
raised, and as they are generally shipped
in carload lots, the transportation charges
do not a'dd a great deal to their cost, 1 he
roasting process is also conducted with
very little, expense,
Americans generally whenthey first
come to Mexico, seldom buy peanuts. It ts
something new' to them to stop on the
street and buy a couple, of cents "worth of
them and have them delivered to your
pocket direct without wrapping of any
kind, yet when the Ice is once broken aad
they get used to the way they are handled
In Mexico, they generally continue buying
them, as the process of roasting leaves
all the flavor in the kernels, and they
taste much better than, the peaauts do
that are generally sold In the United
States, where the method of roasting so
often takes away the richness of their
taste, -

Little was known of Stefanovitch.
He was an educated man. and Is sup

complalned of his hard work and often
said life was not worth living when
