m NOT LW That Is the Opinion of Gen. Kuropatkin, Russian Minister of War. ________ Ha Expresses to the Czar His Satisfaction at Outcome of Port Arthur Conference. - — Situation Has Been Cleared in Such a Way as to Delay War a Long Time. St Petersburg. July 30.—General Kuropatkin, the Russian minister of war. who has just returned from the Port Arthur conference, expressed himself as pleased with the results of • -i *«*'?<s* Wfe ■■ aW Wk | F GENERAL A N KVRorATKTN. his tour. He communicated to the czar the opinion that although a fairly strong party in Japan wanted war with Russia, the bulk of the nation was too sensible to yield to such ‘■jingoism." and that the Mikado was well disposed toward Russia. It is declared that General Kuropatkin considers that the situation has been cleared for a long time and that war is very improbable. JOINED GREAT PILGRIMAGE. Czar and Czarina Honor St Seraphin’s Memory. St. Petersburg. July 30. —The czar, th* czarina and their suite left last evening to join the great orthodox &i I Si CZAR OR F.VSSIA.. pilgrimage to SarofT, province of Tamboff, where the orthodox church is to celebrate the cannonization of the hermit Prokhor Mosntn, under the name of Saint Seraphin. Some six thousand bishops and clergy of European Russia will partcipate in the ceremonies, which will last four days. Ja rXltfrv* nr RCSStA. Twenty thousand persons are expected to atend the ceremonies at Sat-off. In certain quarters it is asserted that the czar’s pilgrimage and I the canonization of Prokhlr Mlshnln at this time are due to the government's desire to divert the public mind from the Increasing revolutionary sentiment. In this belief the antigovernment party Is already spreading reports that miracles attributed to the hermit are fables Invented by the clergy tn the service of the government. The French Way. Paris, July 30. —A quarrel between Viscount Antoine de Contadcs and Tuonl Bey. second secretary of the Turkish embassy, resulted In a duel with swords, In which Tuonl Bey was wounded In the arm.

* THE FINGER OF FATE, Italian "Dope Book” Points Out Cardinal Rampolla's Election. Rome, July 30.—During yesterday's meeting of the congregation the forms to be used In toting at the conclave were distributed among the cardinals in order that each might be able to learn bow to employ his ballot. After the meeting Cardinal Oreglia requested the cardinals to visit their cells and be prepared at today's meeting to present any complaint which they may have. Superstitious people here find an omen in the tact that Cardinal Rampolla drew apartment No. 58, . which in the book of lottery stands for Pope, and consequently they come to the conclusion that fate has marked him to be the next Pope. Cardinal . Agllardi has relinquished his cell near : the Sistine chapel to Cardinal Cretonl on account of the latter's illness Over the door of each of the cells has been placed the coat of arms of the cardinal who is to occupy It. Should all the sixty-two cardinals now in Rome enter the conclave It will be the most numerously attended in history. The conclave which elected Leo was attended by sixty-one cardinals. In the past Popes have been elected by as low as nine. THE NATIONAL GAME. Current Scores in the Three Big Leagues. NATIONAL LEAGUE. At Cincinnat, 3; Pittsburg 7. At Chicago. 3; St. Louis 2.

Anderson. Ind..

SIMPLE FISHER FOLK THE NEWFOUNDLANDERS ARE EASILY IMPOSED UPON. A Pathetic and Trngle Incident Ths Illustrates the Attitude ot th,. ' per” tlansea-The Hardy t uura ’’ of the OutporleiN. "St. John's, N F., Ilves by its fi sh . riles; nothing worth while is j there, but. according to the uns,,p|| jstj cated stranger, there Is a noisy aiMl vituperative wrangling over th,, that comes down from the coasts," say, a writer in the World’s Work. ••Tlie ru I nre some few factories, to be sure, but they are too ingeniously manageil by j half. For Instance, a certain brand n( tobacco, made at St. John s and eielusive!? consumed by fishermen, j, sold in the French Island of St. Pierre for half what it costs the Newfounj. land 'bay noddle,' and the manufacturers pay $15,000 yearly to the pro prietor of a rival concern to induce him to keep his plant shut down. At St. John's, too. is the aristocracy of the colony—merchants, middlemen, i aw . yers, physicians, officeholders, tricky and abusive politicians and colonial knights (the visitor may observe on a signboard alxove a little corner store 'Sir Thomas Morburn. Grocer. Chean Teas'). There is neither sympathy nor mercy for the fisherman here, though there is a most enthusiastic reception for what he takes from the sea He j, regarded as legitimate prey, is most marvelously lied to before election and abused, ridiculed and revile,! afterward. But through it all he preserves a humble faith in 'all those set in authority over him.’ "A doctor ot the outports-the ineident is related because, though it may appear an extraordinary case, it yet aptly indicates what has for years been the attitude of tile 'upper' <'lasse, toward the fishermen, without whom Newfoundland would lie waste j U ,i deserted, the shame of the fair eartha doctor of the outports was once ' ailed to a little white cottage where three children lay sick of diphtheria He was the family physician that it to say, the fisherman paid Idm so much by th* year for medical attendance. But the injection of antitoxin is a ‘surgical operation' and therefore not provided for by the annual fee. “ 'This,' said the doctor, 'will cost you $2 an Injection, John.’ “ 'Oh, iss, zur!' was the ready reply ‘l'll pay yon, zur. Go on. zur.' “ But you know my rule, John no pay. no work. I can't break it for you, you know, or I'd have to break it for half the coast.’ “ 'Oh, aye! *Tis all right. I wants tin cured. IT! pay you when I sells me fish.' “ 'But you know my rule, John—c.isb ; down.’ "The fisherman had but $4, no more Nor could he obtain any more, tl.Ah the do<-tor gave him ample time. lam sure that he loved his children dearly, but, unfortunately, he had no 1 re than $4. and there was no other doctor for fifty miles up and down the coast. “'Four dollars,' said the doctor, 'tw« children. Which ones shall It be, John?’ "Which ones? Why. of course, aft*’ all. the doctor had himself to make the choice. John couldn't. So the doctor chose the 'handiest' ones. The other one died. “ 'Well.' snid John, unresentfully. the day after the funeral. 'I s'pose a doctor have a right t' l>e paid for what be does. But.’ much puzzled. ‘ 'tis kind o' queer!'
