Memorial College.
It Is reported from London that there
' Is In contemplation a forcible joint pro
test on tho part of Great Britain, the
United States and Japan against the
Russian demands in the matter of the
sovereignty of Manchuria.
Sir Ernest Satow, British minlstei
to China, in a dispatch to the foreign
office has confirmed the published
synopsis of the note addressed to
China by M. Plancon, Russian charge
d'affaires at Pckin. 9
In the meantime the British govern,
me nt is not taking active measures, al
though Foreign Secretary Lans
downe fntends to circulate pour par
lera looking to joint action from Wash
ington, London and Toklo, provided
further information sustains the pres
ent abstract of the Russian demands.
The foreign olllce authorizes the
statement that If the Chinese govern
meat correctly represents Russia's
claims, these claims constitute an ab
solute breach of all the undertakings
given in connection with Manchuria
and utterly abrogate the principles oi
the open door, territorial division and
international comity to which the Brit
ish government constantly and pub
licly has committed Itself.
It la added that In these principles
Great Britain always has acted in
concert with the United States and it
Is presumed that similar feelings exist
at Washington. Nothing, however,
Is definitely known, as with the excep
tion of the British minister to China
no British ambassador has yet report

The effect of the present high prices
of cotton on the manufacturing
branch is not entirely favorable.
Buyers of goods are holding back and
are very slow to commit themselves.
Raw wool, while dull, is rather firm

Dress wcolens are In good sale, but

The season Is young yet; however.
Grocery markets have been active
this week, the leader therein being

Damage to Shamrock III.
Sir Thomas Llpton in describing the
accident to Shamrock III, said:
"When the challenger lost her mast
she was almost fiat; there were cer
tainly six feet of water over her lee
deck. My first Impression, when the
mast went, was that the boat was
sinking. I scrambled on deck and
found everything gore and the boats
out doing rescue work. I never saw
the seaman. Collier, in the water."
Sir Thomas was bewildered at the
suddenness of the accident and said
thai what immediately followed

STATE GRANGE SPEAKS
First Gun Against Adoption of
Canal Proposition.
Each Subordinate Grange Urged to
Send a Delegate Address Signed by
Master of State Grange and Senator
Ambler of Columbia County as Legis
lative Committee.
Albany, April 28. The first gun in
the battle against the adoption by the
people at the polls of the 1,000-ton ca
nal proposition was fired by the legis
lative committee of the state grange
wh'ch met here and issued the follow
ing address to the members of the
grange:
"A Mil was passed by the last legls
lature and has been approved by the
governor providing for referring to the
voters of this state, to be voted upon
at the election In Noveniher next, the
question of whether $101,000,000 shall
be expended in enlarging the canals
of th's state, so that at that election
you will be called upon to vote yes or
no upon this question.
"The action you take now is a ques
tion of great importance to both you
and your children. If the people ap
prove this measure, the above named
amount will be expended and It is es
timated by men who are expert In en
gineering work and who have figured
upon this questicn that it will call for
an expenditure before Jie canal is
finished of at least $225,000,000, if not
$3t'O,OO0,0OO.This expense must be met
directly or indirectly by taxation upon
the property and property Interests of
tho state of New York.
"When complete the canal will be
primarily and largely, If not wholly,
In the Interest of the producers of the
Western states, transporting their pro
ducts Into your market at your ex
pense with no benefit whatever to
you or your property interests. In the
light of the above statement it seems
to us that this question is one of the
greatest magnitude that has ever been
submitted to the p?oplc of this state,
You can decide It In the negative by
your votes and Influence.
"Undoubtedly many of the non-tax
payers In the large cities will be in
duced by fallacious statements to vote
for the expenditure of this money,
but there will be many there who will
repudiate It. particularly those who
have a lively remembrance cf the $9,-
000.000 expenditure lately made.
"Now Is the time for you to take a
lively and active Interest and to play
well your part in endeavoring to de
feat this measure. Talk with your
neighbors and get every one to go to
the polls Irrespective cf the weather.
Each subordinate grange should send
a delegate to the grange to be held this
year at the Thousand Islands park on
the 18th day of August, -where this
subject will be under consideration and
will be fully discussed and an address
prepared to submit to the taxpayers cf
the state which will set forth in de
tail the reason why the project shculd
be defeated. Now Is the time for en
ergetic and unified action."
The address Is signed by E. B. Nor-
rls, master of the State Grange .and
Senator Henry S. Ambler of Colum
bla county as legislative committee.

to the pan or $400 to the yard.
Mr. Kelly Is new in PitUbu:g buy
Ing machinery to ship to h s claims,
which are located within 10 miles oi
Nome City. The size and value of the
veins of ore discovered may be

field, chief among them being Theo

small one, with plenty of money to op
erate the mine, and there Is no stock

Mahanoy City,, Pa., Ap.il 24. Re
gardless of President Mitchell's ordoi
to the lecked-out mine employes at
the Reading collides In the Schuyl

pound of coal was mined at any of
them yesterday. Seme few men re
ported at the collieries, but they were
told that there was no work for them.
The men say that the order issued
by President Mitchell cannot be com
plied with for the reason that they
have been willing all along to re
turn to work, but that the company
has locked them out and told them
that they cannot work until all ques
tions in contention are settled. One
official cf the Reading company told
a correspondent that all men who

KENT'S MENTAL CONDITION.
Arguments Heard by Judge Suther
land In Absence of Jury.
Rochester, April 28. A portion ol
the afternoon session In the Kent case
was taken up with arguments before
Judgo Sutherland by Attorney Raines,
while the Jury were out, as to whether
evidence as to Kent's mental condi
tion and his statements should be
given to the Jury.
. Mr. Raines claimed that owing to the
drugs administered to Kent he was
little more than a "gibbering idiot"
when discovered and for several days
after.
District Attorney Warren stated that
Kent's statement to the coroners was
freely given, and that his account of
his trip here and after was coherent
and connected.
Judge Sutherland decided to hear the
testimony cf the coroners as to
Kent's mental condition during the
absence of the jury and then deter
mine whether he will admit the state
ment made by Kent and the accom
panying evidence to the Jury.
Dr. Arthur M. Johnson, who con
ducted the autopsy on Miss Dingle's
body, was swoin. He described the
mortal wound and said the only other
mark on the body was a vaccination
scar. He also described the blood
t-fots on the undergarments. There
was a dispute between witness and
Attorney R"ines as to certain meas
urements of the dead girl.
The bracelet worn by the girl on the
fatal night was shown the wltnesa.
Mr. Raines made a strong effort to
show that the blood on the inside rings
of the bracelet could not have gotten
there unless there had been blood on
her hands or arms.
Dr. Johnson denied this and said the
blood might have gotten there when
the body was removed to the operat
ing table as there was blood there.
The witness said he looked carefully
for a cut or abrasion on the hand but
found none. A person receiving such
a wound as that on Miss Dingle's neck
would live from three to five minutes.
The condition of the body showed that
death was from hemorrhage.
Dr. Johnson testified that he found
no signs of drugs in the stomach.
Conditions prevailed In some of the
organs, however, that in his opinion,
might necessitate an operation. The wit
an operation .was necessary. The wit
ness further testified that such a con
dition would produce serious mental
lismrbHice In a person of nervous
temperament.
Four p ctures taken of Miss Dingle's
body at the morgue showing the gap
ing wound In the neck were produced
as evidence by the prosecution, and
admitted by the judge. Dr. Johnson
said the pictures showed accurately
the por.l'on and extent of the cut.
Witness coeid not say what caused the
di?o,o;alioh or blotches on the face.
He had rover seen anything like them
but they might be liver spots.
Coroner Thomas Kllllp was next
witness called. He said the minutes of
the autopsy were In hi3 handwriting.
He put down the measurements as they
were given him by Dr. Johnson. There
was a mistake fn the measurements of
the left forearm and these figures were
changed. The witness said he had not
seen them from that day to this.
Attorney Raines attacked the ac
curacy of these measurements in an
attempt to prove the dead girl was
left handed. He also attacked the re
liability of the pictures and claimed
the wound in the picture had been
sewed up.
