Aecnallon Against Him Bring Into Issne Fitness to Remain Episcopalian Priest. SAX FRANC1SOT). Kov. St. Spe cial.) The resignation of Father Tonng as rector of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin will in no way Inter fere with the work of the court of In quiry appointed by Bishop Nichols to probe Into the character and conduct of the priest. His resignation, which was given to the vestry on Tuesday, simply severs his connection with the parish of which he has been In charge. The acccusatlon against him brings in Issue his fitness to remain a priest of the Episcopal Church, and It Is from this view-point that the court of inquiry will consider them. Father Young is still confined to his home in Oakland, where he is under the care of friends. He refuses to make any statement concerning his action, except that he Is too III to de fend himself or to make explanations. Father Young asked for the court of inquiry at the time his name was con nected with the disappearance of Edna Clark, a pretty parishioner. CUTTLE DISEASE SPREADS APTHOl S FEVER ATTACKS M'HOOli CHILDREN. State Officers. Kill 1000 Cows and Will I e Further Drastic Means of Protection. rANVIIJ.F. Pa.. Nov. SI. A report re vived last night at the Federal and state headquarters established here by offi cials investigating the Apthous fever among cattle says that the veterinarians discovered 35 well-defined cases of the disease among cattle in Montgomery County In the vicinity of Momstown. The disease was traced to a carload of I- animals shipped into Montgomery County from Buffalo. Each one of these as located and will be killed. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture B'heech said last pight that more than low cows have been killed, besides many twine. The rerort that five children in this city are vu tiros of the disease Is dis counted by the statement of Dr. Fox, of the State Health Department, who came here from Harrtsburg. He exam ined the children who are convalescent, and says that It is doubtful if they ever had the disease. All the resources of the State of Penn sylvania will be drawn upon, if neces sary, to slop the foot and mouth dis ease among the cattle of the f tale. The Government, it Is said, may iind it nec essary, inasmuch as the source of the disease has not yet been learned, to quarantine every cattle state. A Mi SHIPMENTS MIST STOP Buffalo Adopts Stringent Measures Against Diseased Cattle. FVFFALO. N. T.. Nov. St. Business at the stockyards here was completely tted up wnen at a meeting of the East Buf falo Livestock Association tonight the members adopted a resolution calling upon the railroads to cancel all orders for shipments of cattle or swine to or through Buffalo. Tiie Association formally ap proved the stringent measures of quar antine Issued by Chief Jle'.vin of Wasa- Ington and Commissioner Pearson of the State Department of Agriculture. Two cases of foot and mouth disease were found today on a Niagara County farm and one infected herd in Erie County was destroyed. In a statement this afternoon President Whaley of the East Buffalo Livestock Association, said: This is the time that the. Legislature should got busy framing a law for the construction of stockyards of steel and concrete all through the state, with pens so built as to be flushed every day. This Is the only solution of the problem of sanitary stockyards." DISEASE ATTACKS CHILDREN 1 Four Die as Result of Contagion Contracted From Cattle. WASHINGTON. Nov. a. Alarming results following the outbreak of a contagious foot and mouth disease In New York and Pennsylvania, causing those states to be quarantined against interstate shipments of cattle, etc., were shown today In a dispatch which reached Secretary of Agriculture Wil son, stating that four children in Dan ville, Ind., had contracted the disease. A rigid investigation is in progress to determine whether others have been affected similarly. The officials believe that the spread of the contagion will be checked, although admitting that the situation is grave. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 21. All the resources of the State of Pennsylvania will be drawn upon, if necessary, to stop the foot and mouth, disease among the cattle of the state. The Govern ment, it is said, may find it necessary, inasmuch as the source of the disease has not yet beer, learned, to quarantine every cattle state. SUODT TO BE RE-ELECTED NO OPPOSITION WILL MEET HIM IX UTAH. Unanimous Vote of Legislature Will Be Given Senator Whose Case Was Threshed Out. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 19. Senator Reed Smoot of Ctah, apostle In the Mormon church, will be re-elected to the Senate without opposition In his own party, and it is probable he will receive practically the unanimous vote of the Utah Legisla ture. This is the opinion of Senator Sutherland. Mr. Smoot's colleague. Senator Smoots term will expire March 4. 1009. and he will be re-elected by the Legislature which assembles nexc January. There will be no revival of the "Smoot case" in the next Congress, for the questions Involved were ail threshed out in the first four years of the Mor mon Senator's term, and the Senate, by substantial majority, held that Senator Smoot was not disqualified from holding his Federal office by reason of being an apostle in the Mor mon church. If the over-sensitive church people consider It necessary to again enter protest against the re-seating of Senator Smoot, they will find the Senate la not disposed to hearken to- their cries. The Senate had more than Its fill of this fight, and will very promptly pigeon-hole any new protests that may be presented. The Smoot case would not have been dragged out to such a great length, but for the fact that Senator Dubois of Idaho, in the hope of prolonging his own political career, had time and again prevented a vote. Dubois is not now a member of the Senate, and there is no other member of that body who is "daffy" on the Mormon question. That is another reason why a renewal of attacks upon Smoot will be treated with scant consideration. If the Utah Legislature re-elects Smoot, the Sen ate will not for a moment question its action. INDICT HAINSES AGAIN Defect in Indictments Causes Xew Call to Grand Jury. NEW YORK." Nov. II. District Attor ney Darrln has summoned the Queens County grand Jury in extra session next Monday to consider evidence in the An nls murder case. The grand jury has already returned an indictment for mur der in the first degree against Captain Peter C. Hains and another Indictment against his brother, T. Jenkins Hains, charging him with aiding and abetting his brother in the commission of crime, and further with having fired the bullet that killed Annls. In view of the fact that It was Captain Hains who fired the fatal shot, the lawyers for the defense allege that this indictment Is faulty. Supreme Court Justice Garretson has re fused, however, to set it aside. FATE CRUEL TO FAMILY Father Dies of Blood Poison, Mother and Children Very 111. SPOKANE. Wash.. Nov. 21. (Special.)

REGENT IS DISAPPOINTING Harries to Meet Gncsts and Looks Frightened, Like Kuang Hsu. rresence of All Imperial Clan Disproves Suicides. PEKIN. Nov. 21. The ceremony at the imperial palace this morning, when the members of the diplomatic corps presented their respective govern ments' condolences on the death of the Emperor and Dowager Empress of China, was one of the most impres sive ever witnessed in Pekin. A not able feature was the presence of every member of the impenial clan, as well as every official who had been reported dead or eliminated from the conduct of affairs of state. This was the answer ot the government to the rumors of sui cides and deaths current in Pekin for the last week. No opportunity was lost to make the function striking. Prince Ching, for the first time since the passing away of their majesties, appeared of ficially at the head of the foreign board. The' chiefs of the various gov ernment departments were present and In :tddltlon several thousand minor of ficials, all dressed In white. Gorgeous Show ot Color. At the conclusion of the functions in honor of the dead, the diplomats paid homage to Prince Chun, the Regent. Each foreign legation was represented by three of its members and the spectacle as the foreigners approached the palace was un precedented. They marched through a throng ot mandarins distributed over the three marble terraces leading to the Chien Ching Kung hall, located at the head of the main avenue of the Forbidden City. This building is used to receive foreign ministers . when they come to present their credentials, and its position is a commanding one. The approaches were lined by a remarkable display of red um brellas, huge fans and screens of man' colors and other objects of decoration used by the court for state processions. The day was bright and sunny, and the multi-colored emblems were vivid against the white stonework and the spotless white garments of the assembled officials. Dead Monarclis Lie In State. The bodies of their majesties reposed each in a separate hall. The catafalqne of the Emperor was on a dais in the Chien Ching Hall and was draped In black satin, embroidered with dragons. The large image ot a bird above the throne, emblematic of the glory and beauty that good government shed over the world, was covered with a white curtain, as were the numerous mirrors in the throneroom. while satin screens, set at oblique angles to the catafalque, shut out from the view of the foreign representatives a numerous gathering of mourning palace attend ants and servants. Prince Chun, tba Regent, stood at a table beside the catafalque of the Emperor. The Dowager Empress lay in state In her own private palace, called "Huang Chi Tien.' where she received the con gratulations of the diplomats on Novem ber 3 on the occasion of the 74th anni versary of her birth. Tills palace Is lo cated in the east wing of .the Forbidden City, a section heretofore called the harem quarter. Prince Chun. In Hurry. The diplomats passed from the hall where lay the body of the Emperor to the palace of the Dowager, and were preceded by Prince Chun, who covered the dis tance with unmistakable evidence of haste. The catafalque of her majesty also was flanked by white screens. Behind that on the left were grouped all the wo men of the Imperial clan, attended by their servants, and they were all plaioly visible to the foreigners. The men of the imperial clan were behind the screens on the right side. The mourning dress of the court was the same as worn by the popu- 'a(virtually every official in Pekin, to gether with many men of high stand ing who expect office, was present. Prince Ching. president of the For eign Board, was conspicuous for his alertness. Tuan Shi Kai, member of the Grand Council, it was noticed, limped from the effects of a recent ac cident. Kegent Looks Frightened. The appearance of Prince Chun was noted with the greatest interest. The praises of the regent have been sung during the last few days in fulsome terms, and, as a result, cautious dip lomats were prepared for something different from what these eulogies had led them to expect, especially in the light of the edict issued yesterday, ac centuating his powers. In appearance the Prince was a disappointment. He bears a strong resemblance to the late Kuang Hsu. His face was worn and drawn and bore an expression of fright. RIOT OX YAXGTSE RIVER New Regime Brings Outbreak at In terior Town. WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. The first report of an outbreak under the new regime in China came to the State De partment today from American Consul General Martin at Jlankow. who re ported that a 'riot had occurred on the Tangtae Ttiver in that vicinity. The cause of the trouble was not stated. Hankow is about 400 miles inland, and is on the railway line from Pekin to Canton. It is one of the largest interior places in China. Two hours before Consul Martin's dispatch came there was a cablegram from Minister Rockhill at Pekin reporting all quiet there, and adding that none of his diplomatic colleagues had received any dispatches from the consular represen tatives of their respective countries In China Indicating any disturbance. Honor Late Ruler's Memory. WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. With sim ple ceremony official Washington will pay tribute to the memory of Emperor Kwong Hsu and the Empress Dowager of China at the Chinese Legation this afternoon, when memorial services to their late majesties will be held, in ac cordance with instructions from the imperial government, and at a time corresponding with the ceremonies in Pekin. Tablet memorials of thfe de ceased rulers have been placed in the hall of the Legation, where Invited guests will pass and bow. Ambassador TVu will greet the callers. Flowers will adorn the room.

INVADES HILL TERRITORY Control of Road Gives Access to Vp- per Lakes Dangerous Rival to Hill Lines If Road Should Be Improved. CHICAGO, Nov. 21. A dispatch to the Record-Herald from New York says: There has been but little' connection of Harriman's name with the affairs of the Wisconsin Central, but from an excellent source it Is ascertained he has practically secured control of that property. It is now assumed in certain quarters that the election of George Gould to a Wisconsin Central directorship occurred at the sug gestion of Mr. Harriman and that Mr. Gould is in Wisconsin Central practically as Mr. Harriman's representative. Though Mr. Harriman has not yet taken any official position In the Gould dlrec- torates, it is understood that Mr. Gould is closely following his suggestions in the handling of the affairs of the Gould roads. There have recently been very strong advices to buy Wisconsin Central and Wabash. Control of the Wisconsin Central by Mr. Harriman means a vigorous Incur sion into the territory which has been feeding his rival. J. J. Hill's, Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads with traffic It has 768 miles of track, with a main line from Minneapolis, through Milwaukee to Chicago, and branches to Ashland. Bessemer. Port age and other points. It thus reaches the iron range country on Lake Su perior and the great cities on Lake Michigan. The Wisconsin occupies -such a good strategic position that it has proved attractive to many railroad magnates, but it is so badly located and poorly constructed that one after another has dropped it for lack of means to put it in good condition. This was the trou ble when the Northern Pacific secured control early in the '90s. That com pany had all it could carry in' its ex tensions and real estate speculations on the Pacific Coast, and had no money to rehabilitate a broken-down line. When the Northern Pacific went into receivers' hands in 1894, the Wisconsin Central was cut loose and returned to its owners. The road recently changed the con trol W. A. Bradford becoming presi dent but the element he represented was 'kept secret. The Chicago dispatch indicates that he must be a Harriman man. - As a reorganizer and reconstructor of broken-down railroads, Mr. Harri man is acknowledged to have no peer. His achievements with the Union Pa cific and Central Paciiic prove that. If he should change the line of the Wis consin Central. Improve Its grades.

Ihe "APOLLO" operates the entire keyboard o.the piano 88 notes while others play 65 notes only. ! The "APOLLO" has a patented transposing device, enabling the performer to plav in different keys with one and the same roll thus accommodating itself to medium, high or low voice, or in struments of different pitch. The "APOLLO" automatically rewinds itself. The "APOLLO" is the only player-piano on the market that operates the piano key in the same manner as the human fingers. The "APOLLO" runs with such ease that a little child can play it- The "APOLLO" Is worthy of your investigation. Tha "APOLLO" 88-Note player-piano has proven to. us, be yond a doubt, that a 65-note player is a thing of the past, and as soon as we can dispose of the 65-note players we now have on hand, we will handle only such player-pianos as have a range of the entire piano keyboard, or 88 notes.
