TOCSIN OF WAR
BY MUTINEERS
Civil Strife Proclaimed by Crew of
Captured Russian Warship.
ANOTHER PORT MENACED
Authorities of Theodosia. Crimea, Or
dered to Famished Provisions on
Pain of a Bombardment.
According to latest advices, the Rus,
sian battleship Kniaz Potemkine has
arrived at Theodosia, Cjrimea, and
HKkod for coal, provisions and medi¬
cal attendance. The mutineers de¬
manded that, the authorities of the
town guarantee their safety during
the stay of the ship. The mutineers
formally raised the standard of re¬
bellion, and issued the following de¬
claration:
“The (rew of the Kniaz Potemkine
notify the foreign powers that the
decisive struggle has begun against
the Russian government. We con
: . l< i it to be our duty to declare that
we guarantee the complete inviola¬
bility of foreign ships navigating the
Hite sea, as well as the inviolability
o, foreign ports.”
Summoned by the Kniaz Potemkine
representatives of the council went
on board the battleship and were re¬ j
ceived in the admiral’s cabin by the
commission comandlng her.
The commission demanded the de¬
livery of 500 tons of coal and pro
visions of various kinds within twen¬
ty four hours, and threatened that in
tin event of noncompliance, after due
warning to the inhabitants, the town
would be bombarded.
The commission also proposed that
the mayor should transmit to the
the population a proclamation de
manding the termination of the war,
a convocation of zemstvos, etc.
Learning of these demands, many
inhabitants fled the town. The work¬
men insisted that the demands be
granted.
A special meeting of the municipal
council was called and the council
consented to deliver the provisions,

however, nothing will be done, even

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORS CONVENE.
Host of Delegates Gather at Baltimore lor
Iwentv-Second Meeting.
The formal opening of the twenty
second International Christian En¬
deavor convention took place Wed¬
nesday afternoon In Baltimore, with
about S.OOfl delegates present, and
nearly all of the 16,000 seats in the
vast auditorium occupied. The hall
had been ornately decorated for the
occasion, and the scene presented was
one of extraordinary plcturesqueness
and animation.

T0 FEDERAL jurisdiction
Case of Caleb Powers is Transferred.
Under Death Sentence for the
Harder of Goebel.
Caleb Powers is to be tried in the
United States court for complicity in
the murder of William Goebel at
Frankfort. This was settled at
Maysville, Kentucky, Friday, wffien
United States District Judge Coch¬
ran announcedthat he would take ju
rlsdiction in the cause, as had been
requested by attorneys for Powers. I
Judge Cochran's opinion holds that
the prosecution against Caleb Powers,
then pending in the Scott county cir
cuit court, has been removed to the
circuit court for the eastern district
of Kentucky by the removal proceed
ir.gs taken in Powers’ behalf under
section 641, United States revised
statutes, and sustains his motion for
a writ of habeas corpus to transfer
his custody from that of the state
o' Kentucky to that of the United
States.
The ground on which the court
,
takes its findings is that from the
petition for removal and the tran
script of the record in the state
court it appears that the defendant
has been denied the equal protection
of ihe law by (he Scott circuit court
and cannot enforce his rights there¬
to in the court of appeals because
of section 281 of the criminal code, as
construed by that court.
The court further holds that the
decision of the state courts against
(tie validity of Taylor’s pardon is ndt
a good ground for removal, as it
feels bound by the decision as to
tho validity of the pardon and the
validity thereof is not secured by
the last clause of the fourteenth
amendment.
The largest crowd ever assembled
in the local court was present to hear
the reading of the opinion. It re¬
quired about three hours to finish it.
Attorneys for Powers made a mo¬
tion that a date be set to hear the
question of bail, but Judge Cochran
old not think it advisable to pass
upon the question of ball until the
matter of jurisdiction was settled by
the court.
Judge Cochran then ordered Pow¬
ers removed from the jail at George¬
town to the jail at Newport.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT MADE
By President Rooeevelt of the Appoint me
1 ‘WWS . <* ««<•.
The announcement Is made on the
authority of President Roosevelt in
the following statement given out by
Secretary Loeb;
“ETlhu Root has accepted the ten¬
der by the president of the secre¬
taryship of state. He will take the
cath of office in a couple of weeks,
but it will necessarily be some little
time before he closes up his business
affairs. He will not go to Washing
(on permanently until some time In
September.
It is the intention of Mr. Root to
assume the duties of secretary of
slate practically at once, although It
will be perhaps two weeks before he
formally will take the oath of office.
His professional interests are so large
that he will have to devote consid¬
erable time to a satisfactory arrange¬
ment of them before taking perma¬
nent charge of the state department.
JIM CROW STREET CAR PUZZLE.
-
New Tennessee Law Causes Novel Situa
tion in Town of Bristol.
The Tennesseee street car law is
proving a puzzle at Bristol, Tenn.
Two-thirds of the car line is on the
state line between Tennessee and
Virginia, being in the middle of the
state line, the street dividing the
cars lengthwise. This puts one half
iu Tennessee and the other half in
Virginia.
The negro passengers, in order to
atoid the jint crow law, will have
only to occupy the Virginia side of
the car, but the negroes on the Ten¬
nessee side are forced to occupy a
certain space.

strongly suspected. The loss will
amount to about $150,000.

impossible ft r any tribunal efficient¬

ering the mqtiplicity of interests in¬

territory serted by the railways of
the United Sates. And, after all, it

practice gving rebates that con¬
stitutes a s lious grievance against

rule, are low, and they have been
brought down to the present level,
not by interference on the part of
the state, but by the pressure of
competition. Cn the other hand, the
special advantages afforded to the
wealthy corporations that own private
cars, and to thj proprietors of termi¬
nal tracks, constitute in effect sub¬
stantial rebates, and form a gross
abuse. It is contended, and appar¬
ently with reason, that the law as it
stands is adequate to deal witht this
and other abuses, but that plea has
j iu no wise diminished the determl
nation of Mr. Roosevelt to carry, if he
can, legislation of a more stringent
type......He may discover that
he has overestimated the forces be¬

railway rates by a state tribunal,
but the disturbance that must in¬

adverse effect on the market for rail¬

“General indust rial conditions in
the United States appear to be favor¬
able, though indications point to the
iron and steel boom having reached
its highest point for the present. It
has to be remembered, however, that
the quotations of stocks are already
high, and though it is generally a
hopeless task to forecast the imme¬
diate future of the American railway
market, investors will do well to
appreciate the facers to which we
have drawn attention. They will
probably, indeed, b$ well advised in
leaving American rats.way stocks alone

And even the speculator who usually
finds h‘s opportunity) in fluctuating

REMAINS OF PAUL JONES
Tamed Over to American Special Com¬
mission at Paris With Imposing
Ceremonies.
In the presence of the highest dig¬
nitaries of France, the diplomatic rep¬
resentatives of many foreign govern¬
ments and civil and naval officials
of the United States, the body of
A-imiral John Paul Jones was for¬
mally delivered to the United States
government in Paris Thursday. The
ceremony was one combining impres¬
sive dignity with brilliant military
and naval pomp in which the soldiers
and sailors of France and the sailors
of America united in rendering hon¬
ors to the illustrious founder of the
American navy.
The occasion was unique and prob¬
ably without parallel, as the funeral
was that of a revolutionary hero who
had lain neglected in a foreign grave
for over a hundred years.
The ceremony of delivering the
body was held In the American
cburch on the Avenue de l’Alma, at
3:30 o’clock in the afternoon. The
interior of this gothic edifice was
beautifully decorated with plants and
flowers. At the foot of the chancel
rested the casket, wrapped in an
American flag and literally buried in
masses of floral emblems.
At the right of the altar sat Am¬
bassador McCormick, Senior Special
Ambassador Porter, Junior Special
Ambassador Loomis, United States
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Rear Ad
miral Sigsbee and other officers of
the American squadron. Across the
aisle sat Premier Rouvier, with oth
err members of his cabinet, practi
cally the entire diplomatic corps, and
officers of the airoy and navy. Scoies
of American sailors, on either side
oc the altar, gave a fitting background
to the imposing scene.
After brief religious services, Gen¬
eral Porter, according to the French
custom, with the red sash of the
Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor
across his breast, advanced alongside
the casket and (formally delivered
the body to Mr. Loomis, as the rep¬
resentative of the United States gov¬
ernment, who accepted it in the name
ot the government and commissioned
Admiral Sigsbee to transport it to
the As United the surpliced States. choir “My |
took up
Country, ’Tis of Thee,” the entire as¬ !
semblage rose and joined in the
strains of the patriotic hymn. Eight
brawny sailors from tihe Brooklyn
then stepped forward and, raising the

ing gun carriage. The carriage was
draped with the national colors and
was drawn by six black horses.
The cortege was now formed and
proceeded to the Esplanade des In
valides. Arriving at the esplanade an
imposing picture was presented. The
French government had erected a
large pavilion In which to deposit the
coffin.
The casket was deposited in the
center of the pavilion while the cor¬
tege passed, rendering military hon¬
ors. Later it was bourne to the In
valides railroad station and placed in
a funeral car where, guarded by
French and American soldiers, it
started for Cherbourg at 10 o’clock
The unusual sight of a detachment
of United States sailors and marines
swinging through the central thor¬
oughfares of Paris aroused great in¬
terest and brought out an enthusias¬
tic ovation from the crowds along
the line of march. The American
naval contingent numbered 500 men
and presented a fine appearance. All
along the route the streets were lined
with dense crowds eager to see the
Amricans. Women waved their hand¬
kerchiefs and miniature flags, an^
there was a continuous shouting *f
‘Wive Les Americans.”

woman can be sure of a fine skin if she
will do as I do, use plenty of Cuticura

The Mean Godfather.
Congressman Morrell, of Philadel¬

river appropriations, mentioned a
mean man.
“There are many mean men,” he
raid, “but this man surely was the
meanest of them all. Besides being
mean he was also rich.
“To a poor young couple living near
him a son was born and they decided
to name their son after the mean man.
and to ask him to stand as its god¬
father.
“He consented. He was flattered.
“Thereupon the joy of this poor
young couple was great. They won¬
dered what gift the rich godfather
would give to his little godson. Per¬
haps a house and lot? Perhaps a half
dozen government bonds? Perhaps a
herd of cattle?”
Senator Morrell paused and smiled.
“What do you suppose,” he said,
“the mean man sent the youngster?
He sent it, sir, a cup that one of his
Cochin China hens had won at a poul¬
try show.”

WANTED TO SLEEP.’
Carious That a Tired Preacher Should
Have Such Desire.
A minister speaks of the curious ef¬
fect of Grape-Nuts food on him and
how it has relieved him.
“You will doubtless understand how
the suffering with indigestion with
which-1 used, to be troubled made my
work an almost unendurable burden,
and why it was that after my Sabbath
duties bad been performed, sleep was
a stranger to my pillow till nearly day¬
light.
“I had to be very careful as to what
I ate, and even with all my care I ex¬
perienced poighant physical distress
after meals, and my food never satis¬
fied me.
“Six months have elapsed since I be¬
gan to use Grape-Nuts food, and the
benefits I have derived from it are very
definite. I no longer suffer from indi¬
gestion, and I began to improve from
the time Grape-Nuts appeared on our
table. I find that by eating a dish of
it after my Sabbath work is done (and
I always do so now) my nerves are
quieted and rest and refreshing sleep
are insured me. I feel that I could not
possibly do without Grape-Nuts food,
now that I know its value. It is inva¬
riably on our table—-we feel that we
need it to complete the meal—and our
children will eat Grape-Nuts when
they cannot be persuaded to touch any¬
thing else.” Name given by Postum
