The text of tho will show that no
bequests are mado outside of the near
relatives. President McKlnley was.
as the term goes, a poor man. and his
chief concern was to leave enough
property to care for his widow, and
aged mother, as his mother was alive

however, died about a month and a
half after the will was made, hut ho
did not take time, or else Intentional
ly neglected It, to make a new will or
attach a codicil.

German Interest In Roosevelt.
None of President Roosevelt's qual
ification appeal to the German peo
ple so much as hi ability to talk Uieir
language. It Is recalled in Berlin that
never since the time of President Ar
thur until now has the kaiser's am
bassador at Washington been able to

STEEL MADE CHEAPER.
United State Truat Pay Mor Wage
Than England and Make
Steel $2.50 Lent Per Ton.
Joseph Lawrence, member of par
liament for the Monmouth district,
who recently returned to England from
the United Stales, In an address to the
Newport chamber of commerce made
the most Interesting nnd comprehen
sive statement of the enilnes of Amer
ican superiority In the steel trade
whith hiis ct been provided for the
nlnnned Ilrltlsh public.
He told his audience Hint Charles
M. ;m liv. nl assured him the United
States Steel Corporation could deliv
er steel billets In England for $lfl.f0
per ton. whereas the lowest price for
which Ilrltlsh manufacturers would
make thpm was $19. Mr. Schwab also
asserted that when bis company bad
completed certain ocean transporta
tion arrangements now pending, the
American price would be still lower.
In addition to this statement. Mr.
Schwnb railed the attention of Mr.
Lawrence to the fact that bis steel
workers got double the wngos paid
Ill-It lull workmen in the snme lino. Mr.
Lawrence went on to drnw a striking
contract between freight charge In
Great Urltnhi and the United States,
allowing that the cost of carrying steel
fiom Pittsburg to New York wns less
thnn the cost of carrying it from Bir
mingham to Liverpool, though the (11m
tunce between the two I'iikIImIi cities
wns only one-quarter of that between
the American cities named. He pilot
ed from President Hill and cited fig
tires of the Pennsylvania Railrond
Company to demonntnite the compar
ative exorbitance of Ilrltlsh freight
rates, warning his hearers that these
rate mtiHt come to a more reasonable
basis. If the Ilrltlsh hoped to meet
tho competition for which tho Ameri
cans are now bo actively preparing.
Having pointed out that It would be
also necessary to resort to cheaper
ones, Mr. Lnwrenco announced that,
as a result of several years' study of
these problems and consultation re
garding them, ho and Thomaa Edison
would shortly begin business In Nor
way with the Idea of supplying to
Groat Britain cheaper ore.

ATTACK SfflilJI 1 VAULT.
IGNORED CHALLENGE.
8oldler at McKlnley' Tomb Has
Murderous Encounter It De
struction Attompted.
A dastardly attempt wn mado Sun
day night by two uneaptured and tin
1 nown men to desecrate the tomb at
('anion where rest remain of tho late
President. What could havo been the
motive of the mlRcrcnnts I matter of
alarmed conjecture. If the object was
not to destroy the tomb with dyna
mite It may have been the (dealing of
the remains nnd holding them for ran
som, as In the case of A. T. Stowart,
the New York millionaire, a score of
years ago. Private HePrend was on
gunrd duty on top of the vault at a
point commanding the entrance below
nnd tho man approached from the rear.
Shortly before 7:30 he saw what he
took to bo the face of a man peering
from behind a tree about forty feet
from his pout. Ho watched It for 20
minutes, bo snys, and at 7:45 saw the
nmn hurry, to a treo 10 feet nearer. Ho
challenged the mnn to halt but this
wns not heeded and tho fellow np-
prouehed nearer. DcPrcnd leveled bis
gun and aimed to shoot for effect, but
Juiil at that luHtnnt another man who
(nmo toward him from tho opposite
Hide caught the gun, threw it up. and
the bullet wns spent In the air. This
man struck DcPrcnd on the right side
of tho abdomen with a knife or other
sharp weapon, cutting an "L" gnHh In
bis overcoat nn Inch and a half long
each way, and a smaller one In bis
hloiiHo. The llesh was not broken, but
was bruised under the cuts In the cloth-
I tig. DcPrcnd In the Btrugglo fell and
rolled down tho side of tho vault.
I ieiitennnt Aehbrldgo. officer of tho
day. was In front of the vault, and
ruBhed to the top on bearing tho Bhot,
put the men made good thels Y-scnpe.
All members of tho company' on hear
ing the shot hurried to tho vault, and
beside searching tho cemetery, the
guard wns Increased. DePrend is a re
cruit enllBted in Now lork four months
months ago. Ho Is said to be an excel
lent soldier and to have a fine record
with his offlcers. He say the man
who attacked him wa masked, but the
first one he saw was not masked. He
say tho latter carried a white pack
age In hi right hand and something
mat guttereu in his lrt. There aro
70 soldiers at the cemetery. 20 of whom
aro constantly on guard duty about the

NOW TWENTY THOUSAND.
Exaggerated Reporta Corrected by the
American Agent Located at
Vladivostok, Mr, Greener.
The State Department ha received
from Commerc-lnl Agent Greener, at
Vladivostok, under date of July 21 ,a
most comprehensive report on condi
tion In Manchuria. Mr. Greener say
that there is much exaggeration as to
the number of Russian troops In Man
churia. He places their number nt
about 20.IIU0. Manchuria hn an area
or .1113.000 stpiaro miles, I ono of the
most fertile countries on the globe,
and there are no better crops In all
Asia. The Miiuclniti have bandy
scrutched the buiTucp, and yet tho bus-
niPHS activity, the actual traffic, and
the tangible results aro a continual
surprise. American goods are already
known and favored on account of their
cheapiiPiiH.
Aa to Russia's uluns In regard to
Manchuria, Mr. Greener says Hie Rus
sian' policy In one of conciliation.
Ho know how to deal with Chlnene.
Ho will not supersede the Mnuchil as
an agriculturalist, however, or even
as a miner. It will lie some time be
fore he Is a success, In the Western
Bonne, In either of these lines. As to
exploring permits for mining and other
purpoNcs, It Is Hinted that such per
luliirloii does not now depend on Kiif
slon nulhorlty, 'mt muiit come from
Peking throiiKh the ChlncHO Gover
nor.
The nrea of gold fleldH In Manchuria
extends more thnn 1,127 miles along
tho shores of tho Argun and Amur
river, and there la no doubt ns to tho
richness of the mines. Smnll parties
of RusHliitiH Illegally mining there,
earned from $:to to $loo a day. The
statements that no foreigners are al
lowed to go Into Manchuria are to an
extent true. (July Russians and Chin

Ho did not speak them, but mumbled
replies to the questions asked him In
a tone so low, that even the court sten
ographer had to stand within a few
Inches of him In order Unit he might
catch drooling words that came from
between lips, purple nnd chnttorlnir
from sheer fright. Not a single word
did ho attempt to utter In Justification
of his atrocious crime, no vindication
of bis belief In the doctrines of nnnr-
by. Ho made one futile attempt to
vindicate tho father that gave him
life nnd bis slsteis and brothers. Ho
gave his record as follows: "Age 28
years; nativity. Detroit; residence,
Broadway, Nowok's, lluffnlo; occu
pation, Inlioier; single; degree of ed
ucation, common school ami parochial;
religious Instruction, Catholic; pa
rents, lather living, mother dead; tem
perate or Intemperate, temperate;
former conviction of crime, none."
In reply to question of the court,
Czolgosz said no one had anything to
do with the commission of bis crime
but himself; that bis fatbernnd mo
ther and no ono elno bad anything t'i
do with and knew nothing about it.
' I was not told anything about that
crime nnd I never thought anything
about murder until a couple of day
before I committed the crime.
Justice White in passing sentence
said:
"In taking the life of our beloved
President, you committed a crime
which shocked and outraged the moral
sense of the civilized world. You
have confessed that guilt, and nftcr
learning all that at this time can be
learned from the fact nnd circum
stances of tho caso, 12 good Juror
have pronounced you guilty and have
found you guilty of murder In the first
degree. You have said, according to
the testimony of credible witnesses
and yourself, that no other person aid
ed or abetted you In tho commission
of this terrible act. God grant It may
be so. The penalty for the crime for
which you stnnd convicted Is fixed by
this statute and It now becomes my
duty to pronounce this Judgment
against you. Tho sentence of tho
Court Is that In the week beginning
October 28, 1901, at the place, In the
manner and means prescribed by law,
you suffer tho punishment of death."

Wli I to I addressed to tho agent and
warden of Auburn State prison and
direct him to execute the sentence of
the Court within the walls of the
prison on some day during the week
beginning October 28 next, by causing
"to pass through the body of the said
Ion F. Czolgosz a current of elec
tricity of sufficient intensity to causo
death, and that the application of tho
said current of electricity be contin

The loftiest engine room In fbe

A French writer, Henri Coupln, says
that the fact that, notwithstanding
their simplicity, the songs of the bird
cannot be imitated with musical In
strument arises from the imposslbllty
of reproducing; their peculiar timbre.
Tho notes of birds, while correspond
Ing with our musical scale, also in
dude Tlbrationa occupying the Inter
vals between our notes. The duration
ot birds' songs Is usually very short,
two or three seconds for thrushes and
chaffinches, four or five seconds for
blackcaps, but from two to five min
utes for the lark. M. Coupln remarks
that while one In every ten specie of
European bird U tuneful, the propor
tion diminishes to only one in a thou
sand among the gorgeously clad birds
of the tropics.
Coantlng-lloora Errors.
Somebody rises every now and then,
but not often enough. It seems, to de
mand that more attention be paid In
our schools to the proper teaching of
the English language. To write and
speak correctly should be considered
the most Importnnt thing to be taught,
but the pressure of other studies too
often makes It subordinate. The man
ager of a large business bouse said
lately that It costs bis firm $20,000 a
year simply to correct errors In in
voices and other papers, errors that
are due to poor writing and bad Eng
lish on the part of the employes In the
office. Here 1 a bouse that loses
enough every year, through the Ignor
ance and cnrelessues of Its clerks, to
run a big school where young men and
young women might be taught to write
and speak correctly. As It Is, the
large business offices are secondary
schools, where the really fundamental
branches of education form the curri
culum. Meanwhile the employers, be
causo they cannot help themselves,
undergo an expense that should be
wholly unnecessary.
