trial by jury. The cases were post
poned until October 21.
Police Superintendent Wells testi
fied that traffic had been disorganized
for four Injurs and that eight persons
had been injured by the demon
strators. Miss Pankhurst acted as attorney
for Mrs. Drummond and Mrs. Pank
hurst, and her cross-examination of
Mr. Wells furnished much amuse
ment for the spectators.
Most of the other prisoners were
expected to give bond lor their good
behavior, with the alternative of im
prisonment for from one to two
months. As on previous occasions,
the women elected to go to jail.

m her personal recognizance, she
said to the presiding magistrate:
"You won't get any of my money.
I will go to jail. Down with As
)uith." Another declared that she had not
obstructed the police, far from it. It
was the police who had obstructed

MOUNTAIN OF IRON.
Salt Lake Road Figuring on Getting
40,000,000 Tons to "Smelter.
Los Angeles, Oct. 15. Officials of
the Salt Lake railroad are figuring on
a contract to move 40,000.000 tons of
iron ore. from Scott, Cal.. to San
Pedro, where a portion of it will be
smelted into pigs and the remainder
shipped by water around the Horn
to Baltimore. It is understood the
rate to be charged by the railroad
company will be $2 a ton.
William S. Eagle, of sr,5 Carroll
avenue, Chicago, is the shipper who
has asked for quotations on the ship
ment, and Thomas Sloan, assistant
general freight agent of the Salt Lake
road, is handling the matter, for his
company.
Eagle has notified the railroad that
he will be ready within a short time
to begin shipments at the rate of
1.000 tons a day, which will mean
that the railroad must furnish a dady
train of 25 cars. At this rate, how
ever, the entire shipment could not
be handled in the next 100 years.

sians Out of Immense Sum.
Chicago. Oct. 15. Valdimir Bras
lawski, said to have been an intimate
friend and associate of "Nicholas de
Ravlan," the woman who for ten
vears succeeded in deceiving Paron
Schlippenbach as to her sex while act
ing for that official in the capacity of
secretary, is the central figure in
alleged frauds involving hundreds of
thousand- of dollars said to have been
wrung from Russian subjects by
means of bogus passports and "in
fluence.'' Braslawski is accused of having
posed as "Consul of the Empire of
Russia." Prince EngalitchcfT. the
Russian consul, says Hraslawski must
have reaped an immense fortune. His
receipts ran as high as $200 a day
and he has been engaged in the work
for ten years.
Questions of international law
which have never before come up in
liistory will be decided when Hras
lawski is brought to trial.

prairie fire is sweeping this way,
finned by a high wind. The city is in
great danger of beinc wiped out. An
army of citizens with wet blankets

was sweeping across cornfields and
seemed certain to reach the city.
PLANS DRASTIC ACTION.
Castro Will Shoot Every Revolutionist
as Traitor.
Caracas, Venezuela, Oct. 10. That
the members of any revolutionary move
ment initiated during the prospective
blockade of the Venezuelan ports will
he immediately shot as 'traitors to the
country, if captured, is reported to be
the present determination of President
Castro. This is his answer to the ru
mors and newspaper reports circulated
to the effect that under the cover of
Dutch guns a revolutionary movement
is about to be undertaken to overthrow
the Castro government.
The one topic of conversation in Car
acas today is the coming answer to Ho
land's second note, which has been re
ported to have set November 1 as the
late for the annulment of Castro's
trans-shipment decree, which has been
so obnoxious -to the people of Curacao
Venezuela s answer is being prepared
with great care. It is believed that in
it will be set forth the reason why the
Dutch demand cannot and will not be
accepted or acceded to.
1 he danger to Venezuela today is not
in the s'rength of Holland's cause, be
cause it is conceded that the Netherlands
government has no casus belli. On the
contrary, Holland, it is asserted, has the
weakest case of any of those nations
now at outs with President Castro, but
there are several nations, especially the
L nited States and h ranee, it is said.
who would be glad to see-Holland pull
their chestnuts out of the fire, and these
countries would probably stand by Hol
land. - '
GO BACK TO 1872.
Government Reveals Past Record of
Gunpowder Trust.
New York. Oct. 10. Further testi
mony, through which it was sought to
establish the existence of an illegal com
bination of gunpowder manufacturers,
was introduced yesterday at a hearing
before Special United States Commis
sioner Maheffely in the suit instituted
y the federal department of justice
igainst the so-called powder trust. This
action, directed against the E. I. Du
pont Nemours Powder company, and 71
other defendants, charges them with
securing control of practically all the
powder mills of the country and con
ducting them as one great concern in
defiance of the Sherman anti-trust law.
The greater part of the time at yes
terday's hearing was taken up in placing
on tne recora ine compendium oi
rules" and the fundamental agreement
which governed the old Gunpowder
trade association I hi'"1 documents
were produced by Alexis I. Dupon., sec-
etary of the Dupont company.
By the presentation of these docu
ments the government is endeavoring
to establish the existence of a combina
tion of powder manufacturers from 1S72
to 1002. known as the Gunpowder trade
association.
Attorneys for the Dupont Powder
company made no objections to the ad
mission of this line of testimony, because
of their claims that such association or
trade agreements ceased to exist with
the year 1002. when the present Dupont
company was organized and purchased
the powder mills now owned by the
company.
RAISES NEW ROW.
Japan Insists on Right to Chase Al
leged Bandits in China.
Tokio, Oct. 16. A new and serious
complication in the relations between
Japan and China was revealed here yes
terday when it was announced that the
Chinese government would be called
upon for an explanation of its refusal
to allow Japanese detachments to pur
sue Chinese marauders across the Man-
hurian line into China.
The action of Chma in refusing to
permit the presence of armed Japanese
soldiers within her borders is con
strued as an attitude similar to that
aken hv China during the Tatsu Maru
imbroglio.
After awaiting an explanation for a
sufficient length of time, the mikado's
government will issue orders directing
the Japanese garrisons to ignore the
Chinese boundary in their pursuit of
brigands.
Several skirmishes, as a result qf
China's stand, have resulted, and it will
require delicate diplomacy to settle the
matter.
Delay Worries Japan.
Tokio. Oct. 16. The unexpected de
lay in the arrival of the American At
lantic fleet, which has encountered thick
and stormy weather off the shore of the
sqnthcrn islands of Japan, where navi
gation at any time is somewhat danger
ous, has caused much disappointment in
Yokohama and Tokio, owing to the en
forced postponement of the elaborate
reception planned for the Americans.
Some parts of the program, which pro
vided some form of entertainment for
nearly every hour, will have to be aban
doned entirely..
Heavy Travel to Coast.
Chicago. Oct. 1(1. Figures issued in

Bulgaria Must Keep Quiet.
Constantinople, Oct. 16. Disturbed
by news of the Bulgarian military ac

reduction of from 4 to 5 cents per 100
pounds on range cattle shipments, which
he interstate commerce commission had
ordered on August 27, of this year, went

can foreign office has confirmed the
esignation of Enrique C. Creel as
ambassador to the United States.
Senor Creel for some time past has
held the double position of governor

May Kill Li's Biographer.
Pekin. Oct. 16. Madame Lien.
wife of the biographer of the late
l.i llumr Chanar. has been arrested in
Shanghai on imncrial order. The
reason for the action is found in the

character of a female teacher, who
was beheaded last year charged with
revolutionary activity. Madame Lien
is a Chinese woman of education.

enforcement by state court.
WASHINGTON, D. C.
GOVERNMENT FIGHTS DUST.
Officials Trying to Make Roads Suit
able for All Purposes.
Washington. Oct. 17. "Dust Pre
ventives," by Prevost Hubbard, issued as
Bulletin No. 34, United States off ce of
public roads, is the latest contribution
to literature on road construction and
maintenance. Mr. Hubbard's paper has
wen prepared to meet the growing de
tnand by road engineers for specific in
formation on the important subject of
dust prevention. He has made a re
search of all literature on the subject,
supplementing this with the results of
actual experiments made by the office
of public roads.
J merest has been recently reawakened
in the problem of the prevention of dust
on country highways, the well-nigh uni
versal use of the automobile being re
sponsible for the additional study and
experiments. Road engineers are now
agreed that the automobile, when mov
ing at a high speed, is destructive to
macadam roads, the broad soft tires
lifting the rock dust and scattering it
over adjacent fields.
AWAITS RIGHT MOMENT.

Balkan Trouble.

all Europe, to report daily on the
progress of affairs.
When the right moment arrives
President Roosevelt will have a plan
of arbitration ready to submit to the
powers, declare the friends of the
chief executive.
The visit of Charles S. Francis,
American ambassador at Vienna, who
is at home on a vacation, to President
Roosevelt recently is taken to mean
that the president will have some
thing to suggest to Emperor Franz
Josef when the time arrives.

ing to issue the new postage stamps,

and $1. The $jj and $5 denominations
now in use will not be reprinted.
The printing of the 2-cent denom
ination is to be begun at. once, and it
is thought they will be ready for dis
tribution some time in November.
The stamps are very simple in de
sign. The lettering is in straight
lines. At the top are the words, "U.
S. Fostage," and' at the bottom the
words, "Two Cents." or according to
the denomination. The 1-cent stamps
contain the head of Franklin and all
the others the head of Washington.

ors are the reds and blues of early
stamps.
Make Them Go to School.
Washington, Oct. 14. In his an
nual report just made public, Com
missioner of Education E. E. Brown
recommends compulsory school at
tendance by the native children of
Alaska. He says: "Experience has
shown that in many sections of
laska regularity of attendance in the
public schools for natives cannot be
maintained without a legal penalty
for truancy. The passage of a bill
requiring the attendance of all chil
dren of school age unless mentally
or physically disqualified is desir
able.
Diplomats Are Uneasy.
Washington, Oct. 14. Never since
the United States began in a modest
way to boast a corps of diplomatique
at its capital has so much unrest been
observed in this august body of for
eigners as at the presentTime. A gen
eral shift of envoys is imminent as the
result of the presidential election.
Germany is to send a new ambassa
dor, but be will not be named until
the kaiser knows whom he is to please
in his choice of representatives.

HOLLAND CALLS CASTRO.
Demands That Venezuela Forthwith
Revoke De Reus Decree.
Caracas, Oct. 14. "The revocation
of the decree of May 14 is demanded in
the most energetic manner the gov
ernment of Venezuela must from this
moment and without delay fulfill the
protocol of 1894 and not prolong the
intolerable state of affairs which it
has created by the decree of May 14."
These are the words of the minister
of foreign affairs of The Netherlands
in his note of August 20 in which he
answers Venezuela's communication
telling of the summary dismissal of
Minister De Reus from Caracas.
Vanswinderem, the foreign minister
of Holland, began his reply to Presi
dent Castro by acknowledging the
gravity of the offense committed by
M. De Reus and saying that The
Netherlands government would have
immediately recalled him of jts own
initiative if it had seen the offensive
publication, but that President Castro
had taken justice into his own hands
and violating international custom by
summarily expelling the minister
without asking for his recall.
The note goes on to say that after
the renewal of friendly relations is
established, "the celebration of a defi
nite treaty of arbitration and con
sular convention, which will be the
surest means of arriving at the de
sired end, shall be submitted to sub
sequent consideration. But the gov
ernment of Venezuela must, from this
moment, and without delay, show it
knows how to appreciate in its real
value the protocols of 1904 which form
the basis of our relations, as well as
the obligations incurred by The
Netherlands, and faithfully lived up
to, and that it does not wish to com
promise its existence by prolonging
the intolerable state of affairs which
it has created by the decree of
May 14."
DANGER POINT AGAIN SHIFTS.
Bulgaria is Now Center of Action in
Balkans.
Paris, Oct. 14. Advices received
here from French official sources in
dicate that the danger point in the
Balkans has shifted back to Bulgaria.
While there is no confirmation of the
report that Bulgaria has delivered an
ultimatum to Turkey regarding the
recognition of her independence in
side of three days, there is reason to
believe that Bulgaria is determined to
make a move if Turkey and the pow
ers persist in their refusal to accept
her independence as an accomplished
fact.
The danger of a declaration of war
from Servia is considered over for the
present. I he French government has
decided to eave Servia s demand tor
compensation from Austria-Hungary
to the consideration of the powers.
M. Stanchioff. the diplomatic agent
of Bulgaria in Paris, declared yester
day that the situation in Bulgaria was
grave and tense.
A rapid solution is necessary, he
said. The agent said, however, he did
not believe an ultimatum had been
sent to Turkey.
The Turkish ambassador here,
Nasum Pasha, admits that Turkey is
taking defensive military measures,
but he repeats that Turkey desires
peace.
WAR ON GAMBLING.
University of Nevada Leads Fight on
Vice at Reno.
Reno, Nev., Oct. 14. Believing
that gambling in Reno is accountable
for the small attendance at the uni
versity of Nevada, , because people
throughout the state will not send
their children to school in a city
where the evil exists as it does in
Reno, the university authorities have
taken an active hand in the anti-gambling
campaign now being waged in
Reno for the special election to abol
ish the licenses on October 24.
At a student-body meeting Monday
Dr. J. E. Stubbs urged upon all stu
dents of age to be sure and register,
and the registration office has been
deluged with students. It is under
stood that the gambling element will
challenge these votes. A monster
mass meeting was held here Monday
night, at which addresses were made
to an audience of fully 3,000 people.
The movement has gained an im
mense momentum, and the enthusiasm
locally is greater than any local fac
tion fight ever aroused before in the
history of the city.
May Cost Hill Million.
Billings, Mont., Oct. 14. The first
of what is expected to be a series of
damage suits against the Northern
Pacific, as the result of the recent
wreck at Young's Siding, in which 21
persons were killed and nearly a score
injured, was filed here yesterday by
Mrs. Mattie Anderson and her daugh
ter Mabel, who ask $50,375 for the
death of Robert Anderson, husband
and father, respectively, of the plain
tiffs. In the aggregate the damage
suits which will be begun against
the railroad company will exceed
$1,000,000.
Few New Cholera Cases.
Manila. Oct. 14. The number of
new cases of cholera has declined to
about five cases daily and these are
chiefly confined to one or two of the
congested native districts. The health
authorities are vigorously fighting
the disease and. besides guarding and
disinfecting the houses where it oc
curs, are disinfecti"g the entire city.
The disease is gradually disappearing
in the provinces, but few new caes
being d-.ilv reported from Rizal, I.a
guna, Cavite and Falawan.
Wiy Children Go Hiinfr.
Chicago, Oct. 14 The charitable
organizations here declare that an in
vestigation of the charges of the So
cialist that 15.000 children go hungry
in Chicago every day shows the
charge to be exaggerated and that
drink in every case is nt the bottom
of the evils that Socialists attribute
to capitalism.
BRITAIN YIELDS
TO RUSSIAN PLEA
Agrees to Conference on Turkish Af
fairs Among Powers.
Straits May Not Yet Be Opened (
Russia Would Rather Control the
Dardanells Until Navy is Built
Grest Britain Maintains Sanctity
of Treaties.
London; Oct. 13. M. Iswolsky, the
Russian foreign minister, has suc
ceeded in impressing upon Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British secretary for
foreign affairs, the necessity that not
only should a conference of the pow
ers be held to settle the crisis in the
Near East, but this conference should
take under advisement other ques
tions besides those involved in the
annexation by Austria of Bosnia and
Herzegovina and the declaration of
Bulgarian independence.
This change of front on the part of
Great Britain, which has caused great
surprise, was announced by the for
eign office at the conclusion of a long
conference between Sir Edward Grey
and M. Iswolsky, after a meeting of
the cabinet, in which Sir Edward set
forth the position he had taken and
explained the views -of the Russian
minister.
It is doubtful whether Russia is
anxious to reopen the Dardanelles for
the present, for. if this is done, it
must be for all nations, and Russia is
not likely to desire that while her
fleet is weak.
The point in her previous stand
Great Britain is continuing to insist
upon, apparently, is that no modifica
tion of a treaty can be permitted
without the consent of all parties to
that treaty, and at her proposal the
powers have instructed their ambas
sadors at Constantinople to affirm
this principle. What end can be
served by this is not stated by the
foreien office, but it can hardly be
expected that either Bulgaria or Aus
tria-Hungary will consent to restore
the leeral stauts in Bulgaria and
Bosnia and Herzegovina

PLEADS FOR LARGE RJNAVY.
Senator Lodge Says Pacific Coast
Must Be Protected.
Boston, Oct. 13. Declaring that
Tapan was ready to make insulting
demands on the United States, did
she dare, and that the only way to
guard against them was to increase
the American navy. United States
Senator Lodge launched into a strong
and vigorous plea for a bigger and
better navy at a Republican .ratifica
tion meeting last night, held under
the auspices of the Republican club
of Massachusetts.
"What we want to look out for is
our navy," insisted the speaker. "We
should protect both the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts and it is the policy of
the Republican party to do this."
Nicholas Ready to Fight.
Cettinie. Montenegro. Oct. 13.
The Montenegrin National Assembly
opened here yesterday in extraor
dinary session. The war fever re
sulting from the annexation by Aus
inn.liniwirv nf Bosnia and Herze
govina has been strengthened by a
