(lie roasted hull bend feast on the
Mutiitorium grounds nt 7 n. in., nl
which nbout forty guests, including
fair officials anil exhibitors nnd n
number of thu lending business nnd
professional men were the diners. All
wulks of life were represented, nnd
some of the nllcys.
' In addition to the two big beef bull
heads that were rousted in pits for
the diners, nmong ttie invited guests
were n number of the city's best
known bull beads. A number of
other men who were not invited,
thinking the occasion was a feast for
bonchends, joined in merrily.
i There was lots of pep at the break
fust ; also copious iunntities of suit,
ashes, Mies nnd dirt. There were no
knives or forks and the guests used
their pocket knives nnd combs in lieu
thereof. The menu nlso included
coffee, rolls nnd butter.
' tin uceount of Hoger ltcnnottdinv
ing iihseut-mindcdlv tossed n cigar
stub into the wnsh boiler full of hot
coffee, and nil old. overshoe or two
having fallen into the boiler accident -ally,
these ndded ingredients did not
mix well witli the chiekory, flies nnd
nnripp fruit nlri'iidy in, nnd n new
boiler full of coffee hud to he brewed.
Otherwise the feast was n dainty
affair, us the cooks only handled the
ments willi some of the best pitch
forks that could be borrowed from a
nearby livery stable.
After the inen had eaten one bull
iiead niul departed, nnother rousted
bull head was taken from nnother pit
and served to a iiartv of Indies.

It would surprise no one here if
Secretary Lansing of the Wusliing

a clear and unequivocal statement to
the effect that the forwarding of
American communications in u lan
gungc open to the Swedish nuthori
tie.s nnd with the knowledge nnd eon

services rendered to Germany by
Sweden.

BY, ORDERS OF
PETROGRAD, Sept.. 19. Wit
nesses in tho trial of General Souk
homlinolf, the former Russian minis
ter of war, who is facing a charge of
high treason, having concluded their
evidence, the general today was in
vited to give tiny ; explanations he
might wish to make. Speaking in a
weak, tired voice, he endeavored to
prove the necessity pf dismantling
Russian forts, for which lie had given
orders. He declared that owing to
the conditions of modern warfare
the fortresses long had lost all their
strategic imortanco and would only
have been traps for tho retreating
troops.- . i .' i ! -t i: ) (.!; l
"At the time of the Russo-Turkish
cninpiiign,'.' he suid, "1 guined thN
conviction that provisional defensive"
works constructed while hostilities
were in progress were of far greater !
prnetieul utility." T
General Soukhomlinoff concluded
hy saying he never concerned himself
with politics, hut worked exclusively
for tho welfare of the fntherlund.
Miss Virginia Smith of San Jose,
