Archbishop Ireland Deplores Hasty Coudt-ui-
nation of Fraice by America.
By the Associated Preen.
St. Paul, Sept. 13 -Archbishop Ire
land today, when asked for bis opinion
ou the meeting to protest against the
verdict of tbe Rennes oourt martial, said:
"It is my belief that pnblic meetings
in America, Boob as it is proposed to bold
for the purpose of protesting sguiost tbe
sentence of the Kenues ooart martial, are
untimely, aofair to Franoe and likely to
breed regretab'e ill feeling between tbat
oouotry and o.ir own. I shall not deny
teat I have always bad in my heart deep
sympathy for tbeunfortnnate offioer who
has been nnder trial in Bonnes and that
I bad wished and hoped that tbe sen
tence of tba ooart would be one of so
quittal. But it is another question to
faoe tbe verdict of tbe court the moment
that verdiot has baen declared, with the
assertion that it is plainly against tru'b
and that the oourt from wbiob it issues
is guilty of base iujustioe and saoriligi
ous perj try. And it is still more so an
other question to lay at tbe door of
France tbe vetdiot, if crime there be i 1
it, and to throw at a whole people and
at their government insulting epithets.
Let us wait.
"This whole matter belongs to the in
ternal life an ) to the internal adminis
tmtion of France, and international
courtesy as ell as justice bid us talk
about it very oarefully and very slowly.
Franoe is a proud, sensitive nation, bhe
will deeply resent, as it is her right, un
dne ontioism and bBBty judgment of ber
acts by a foreign people, ami especially
'ull she resent, as it is enrely ber right,
any uuoalled for interference with her
internal administration and any imprnd
ent oballpnging of ber national honor.
"Fronoe has been our friend of ages.
She whs our friend when no other nation
befriended us. She is iur friend today.
Bhe is a sister republic We should
pause long and seriously before blam
ing, siiBpectiug or offending France. I
can well understand and explain tbe
present bappeDings in America.
" The American people arc most easily
roused to sentiments of j ntica and bu
manity, Prudence, however, is the
queen of all virtues, aud we should strive
to make it ours. In whit I say, I speak
as an American, for what I believe to ba
the good of America. I make do plea
for France, although because I know
France, I love ber, despite her faults,
and I hopa for ber, despite ber' perils."
KlYLRSS 1'OSTOFFICE BOXES.
1 100.0UO or the People's Moiicy Now Locked
np lu font Oflice Keys.
Washington, Sept. U There is more
than 841X1,000 of the people's money
looked up in poslofhce keys, each and
every key-bolder to a box in the poet
ulliue being required ti put op witb tba
postmaster a deposit for the key, tbe
amount deposited beiug returned when
the box is given up ami the rent paid.
Postmasters are required to give a strict
aooount of the key deposit fund, while
tbe postoffioe department here has a reg
ular division set apart for keeping tuin
aooount. As a poetoflioe official puts it,
tbere is a great deal of trouble and no
money in the transaction, and tbe final
outcome of the trial of tbe keyless looks,
which are to be tried in tbe principal
otlioes of tbe country, is eagerly looked
for. Tbe department has long wanted
a keyless lock, but nous of tbe inven
tions until tbe present were regarded as
in any way calculated to prove ao
ceptable.
Contracts bave been made for a supply
of the new locks, wbiob will first be
placed in New York, Boston, Philadel
phia, Obicago aud Ht. Louis, as tbe larg
est and most important c Hides, aud in
Ht. Paul, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Ohio;
liartford, Coon, Madioo, W.s.; and
Kookford, HI., as the smaller cilices.
These oflioes will be fitted out as soon as
tbe factory oan complete the makiog of
tbe boxes. If tbey prove in every way
satisfactory to tbe department and to
to patrons,' tbey will he plaoed in offices
throughout the country, but not the
entire exclusion of tbe look boiM. It it
tbe belief of the postofnue department
lock experts that the keyless box will
prove a blessing.

A GKBAT HARVESTING RECOBU.
The Grain on 1200 acres Is Cot In Thirteen
Days.
Colfax, Wash., Sept 12 Humphreys
& Troop, of Steptoe, bave made the
record run for tbe season with bead'
era. They out 11200 acres in 13 days with
two 12 foot headers on the farm of Lillis
F. Smith, tbe wheat king of Endioott.
This is an average of over 92 aores per
day, or 46 aores for eaob header. Each
header was drawn by eigbt good horses,
and tbere were four wagons end a
"spike" pitoher witb esoh. Tbe men
went to work at 5 o'olook in the morning
and quit at 7 o'olook in tbe evening,
taking one hour for noon. Tbe ground
was comparatively level, and tbey made
"lands" of from 80 to 100 sores eaob and
"kept agoing." Everything was favor
able, and the run is one of tbe largest,
if not the largest, ever made in Whit
man oounty in the same length of time.
A steam tbresber followed tbe headers
and tbe grain was threshed from the
stack. Mr. Humphreys was in Colfsx
yesterday, and said tbat when he left
Endioott Smith bad threshed 16,000
bushels of wbeat. He expects to bave
at least 30,000 bushels of grain this year.
Mrs Smith has 3000 aores of land near
Endicott, but summer-fallows a large
portion of it each year.

No Contest Hade to the Will or Cornelias
Vanilerhilt.
New Yobk, Sept. 13 -Cornelius Van
deibilt, wbo has been under the shadow
of death for several years and who was
one of tbe most methodical of men, left
a oaretully drawn will, but its terms are
not kuown. His friends think it will
make provision for tbe oharities in wbicb
be was interested. No estimate of tbe
estate's value is less than 8100,000,000.
Tbere bad been a reooncilation be
tween Oorneilus Vanderbilt. Jr., and
his parents, who opposed his marriage
witb Miss Grace Wilson, and it is doubt
ful it discrimination will be made
against him.
On tbe death of Corneilus Vanderbilt
bis brother, William K., beoomes tbe
bead of tbe family. He has made tbe
arrangements for tbe funeral and will
see to tbe probating of tbe will.
Mr. Vanderbilt's death will force tbe
retirement of tbe entire Vanderbilt
family from participation jn an; of tbe
social doings in tbe fashionable world
for some time to come, and will also
close to the members of tbe gay world
several of tbe largest mansions in New

TRIM) TO BOY PKACE.
Commission Has Offered Againaldo Money
to (nit.
New York, 8ept, 15 A special to tbe
World from Itbaoi, N. Y., ssys: Yonr
oorrespondeut is able to say on authority
that the Scbu'mtn peace commission
offered every indaoflment short of abso
lute self government to Aguinaldo and
bis followers. Againaldo was promised
as the price for tbe restoration of pesos
in tbe Tagal tribe a boons of more than
$0000 a year while the Tagals remained
peaoefnl. He was told tbat be oould
ohoose men from bis tribe for the minor
municipal offices. Tbe commission went
so far as to promise Aguinaldo tbe moral
support of tbe Dni'ed States govern
ment, it such were needed, to make his
leadership of tbe Tagals thoroughly
secure.
With all tbese fodnoemente, tempting
as tbey mast bave been, Againaldo, as
tbe recognized head of tbs insurgent
movement, deolinsd to yield Ue insist
ed upon immediate self government and
as his insiatanoe w-tt ao firm as to make
an agreement impossible, tbe Amerioao
commissioners oeased negotiations.
President Scburman was frank in tell
ing your oorrespondenl a day or two ago
tbat he favored giving to tbe various
tribes the largest possible measure of
home rule at the earliest moment. He
thought the several tribes oould admin
ister tbeir looal sffiirs, elect their
municipal officers, establish oonrts and
penal institutions, etc., bat he did not
believe it possible to allow the natives to
participate in tbe general government.
"How ooald they govern tbe islands,
in view or tbe betrogeneity and multi
plicity of tbe tribes?" he added.

CHAKGE OP HOB3K STEALING.
Charles J. Voorhles is Brought From Walla
Walla to Colfax.
Colfax, wash., Sept. 15. Sheriff Ca-
nutl returned this morning from Walla
Walla, bringing witb him Charles J.
Voorbies, arrested tbere for stealing
two mares from W. H. Parkmac, a farm
er living near Oakesdale, last Saturday
night. There is little doubt of Voorbies'
guilt. He sold the stolen horses to Sid
Coyl, a liverymsn of Walla Walla, for
$115. When arrested be had $93 in his
pocket. 8beriff Kes took this from
him and returned it to Coy I, wbo was
still $22 short on the transaction, and to
make this good Voorhies turned ever to
Coy! a saddle borse aud saddle which be
was riding. It is believed the burse
and saddle were stolen but Voorhies
refuses to give any information aa to
where be got them. The horse is de
scribed as a bay, 10 or twelve years old,
weighing 800 pounds, branded "16" ou
the right shoulder and "P" over a bar
and what appears as "y" under the bar,
on the left shoulder. The borse baars
saddle marks. Tbe siddle is a common,
old, red leather affair.
Voorbies was taken before A. E Kirk
land, justioe of the peaoe, this afternoon,
He waived, preliminary bearing and was
remanded to jail in default of 81000
bonds. His wife is at Mullan, Idaho.
Voorhies was la the latter plaoe last
spring and was arrested when the raid
wasmsdeou Mullan and ooufiusd in tbe
bull pen, but, unfortunately for him,
was released soon after. Ha served a
term in the Walla Walla penitentiary for
cattle stealing, being sent up from
Wbitmau oounty, and stnnds an excel
lent show of serving another term. He
will be tried tn November.
AN IMPORTANT FOOD LAW.
Heavy Penalties tor Helling Articles of Food
Containing Unhealthy Iuicrodleuts.
The following law was passed at Ibe
last session of tbe Missouri Legislature,
taking effect August 20, 1899 :
Section 1. That it shall be unlawful
for any person or corporation doing
buisness in tbis State to mnnnfHOture,
sell or oiler to sell any article, ooanpound
or preparation tor the purpose of beiug
used or wbiob is intended to be nsed in
tbe piepnration of food, in which article,
compound or preparation tbere is any
anemic, calomel, bismuth, ammonia or
alum.
Hao. 2.- Any person'or corporation
violating the provisions of tbis aot shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
shall , upon conviction, be flued not less
than one hundred dollar, whloh shall
be paid into tbe road fund of tbe county
in which suoh fine is collected.
Tbe operation of tbis law will be mainly
against alum baking powders. But fie
manufacture or sale of any article of
food or artiole intended to be nsed in
which oontains any of the substances
classed by tbe law as ucbealtliful from
Arsenic to Alum is absolutely prohib
ited. LIVESTOCK MARKET ACTIVE.
A iWvy Demand for LiKht Feeders and
Prices Will Continue to ltule Stronu.
Slt I-."ke Tribune.
M. K. Parsons, the livestock man, bns
returned from a trip covering all the
great markets in the Muddy. lie also
visited Texas and stopped in Danver.
Id speaking with the Tribune reporter
last evening be stated that the market
was generally good with a big demacd
tor heavy-weight feeders especially.
Tbere is a marked diffirenoe between
tbe demand for this olattsaud the middle
grade. Fleshy feeders find n ready sale.
Dlab and Nevada bave had very little
stuff on tbe market an far this fall, but
Colorado and Idabo have been well
represented In the different markets.
Owing to tbe drouth iu California and
tbe demand for packing bouse oattle in
Ban Fraooisco for Pacific shipment, Mr.
Parsons is of tbe opinion that all the
Oregon aud Nevada stuff will He shipped
westward for tome time to oome. Utah,
be tbioks, has not enough feeders to
meet the demand in looal consumption.
Price 4 have been strong for beef ctttle,
generally one-balf cent higher than last
year in gross weight. Prioes for feeders
do not show any mtrked change.
Mr. Parsons sees no reason why the
prioe of beef oattle should not be very
good for the next year. With the greitly
inoressed demand for beef due to many
oanses, tbe livestock industry naturally
derives much ben flit and at present tbn
bnsinsss looks very bright.
The Utah O dorado Cattle and Im
Pinvemsut Oimpnuy, ma'ingpcl by Mr.
Parsons, last week shipped throe trains
from Denver and three more are to move
next week.

By the Associated Press,
New Yobk, Sepf. 12. Cornelius
Vanderbilt died tbis morning at bis
home at Fifty-seventy and Fifth avenue
in this oity. Vanderbilt arrived from
Newport with Mrs. Vanderbilt at 9
o'clock last night. He appeored in good
health and spirits and retired soon after
wards. About midnight he was seized
with a serious stroke of paralysis, the
second from which be has suffered.
The household was aroused and tele
grams were sent to Dr. James, Dr. Jane
By and severol other physicians, wbo
arrived iu a short time.
Everything possible was done for tbe
patient but he grew rapidly worse anl
died at 5:15 o'olook. He was semi-conscious
until his death.
When he died his wife and daughter,
Gladys, and sou Regiceld, were with
him.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, was born on
Staten Island, November 29, 1843 Will
iam H. Vanderbilt, bis father, was at
the time a farmer, and Cornelius at the
age of 16 left school and secured a plaoe
as messenger iu the Shoe aud Leather
Bank His grandfather, Commodore,
learning of tbis, sent for him and asked
why be had not applied to bim for a
plaoe.
"Beoause I did not want to ask you
for anything," was the reply.
This phased tbe Commodore aud it
is tiaid tbat be made a codicil to bis will
a few days later leaving $1,000,000 to hit
grandson.
Cornelius left the Shoe and Leather
hank to go into the employment of Kiss
am Bros., bankers but later bis grand
father asked bim to enter tbe railroad
servioe. The young man was makiog
$60 a month and deolined to leave hta
plaoe unless be got more money. He
was given $S5 and accepted it. He
was then about 21 years of age. Tbe
first place be was given was that of
assistant treasurer of the New York &
Harlem railroad. His rise was rapid
and be sucoeeded his futher as tbe bead
of the Vanderbilt system,
Corneilus Vuudeibuilt's career was
pralioally closed when he suffered a
paralytio stroke in July, 1866. Despite
bis onormous interests, he found tims
to devote to church and Sunday school
woj-k, which, ba began, early in life. Ha
gave freely to tbe railroad branob of the
Y. M. C. A., end to the work of St,
Bartholomew's Protestant Episcopal
church in this oity.
VunderbiU's great business cures
made his life necessirly methodical aud
be was noted for bis punctuality. He
went tn Europe Inst spring aud onmi
home on July 24, accompanied by Mrs.
Vanderbilt and his daughter Qladyr,
They went to Newport the snme day
and Vanderbilt improved constantly in
health.
When Mr. Vauderbilt was 2'1 yours of
age, be married Alioe Owynn, daughter
of a Cincinnati lawyer. His fliret born
son, William II., died in 1H92 while be
was a student in Yale utiiversity. Van
