MARINE RISKS INCREASED isira:sce hates ox vessels nOLMJ TO JAPAN IIOIHLEI). ntiinu Fortifying n Korean Port China Warned ly- Japan that Some of the Ports 3Iay lie Occupied. LONDON, Oct. C3.-Advires from TicnTsiu say it is learned there that Russia i3 negotiations with a steamship company of Shanghai to charter steamers belonging to the company to run between Shanghai and Tort Arthur, the government representing that the present volunteer fleet Is not sufficient to carry on the traffic. Heretofore the underwriters at Lloyd's have taken an optimistic view of the situation In the far East. Since yesterday, however, the Insurance rates to the' far East, covering: all risks if war is declared within three months, have been doubled. The British Admiralty h::s sought to charter at Cardiff a steamer for the immediate loading of coal for Hong-Kong, but failed to obtain one at IS shillings per ton, and it is the general opinion among ship owners at the south Wales port that the Admiralty will not succeed in obtaining an early vessel at the figure named, owing to the Japanese and Russian bidding for all early steamers. These already have been chartered by Japan to the extent of 22,(m) tons. At Lloyd's the rate for a war risk on Russian vessels is 2) shillings per cent., and it is considered doubtful whether any Ju panese vessel, even a liner, could be insured at less than CD shillings per cent. As much as 10 shillings per cent, is said to have been refused for a war risk policy on a Norwegian vessel bound for Japan. The Japanese legation reiterates to-day that there is not the slightest foundation for the Honolulu and other alarming reports of the imminence of a Russo-Japanese war. Otficial communications received from Tokio during the last few days contained nothing to indicate the probability of an outbreak of hostilities, nor even that a hitch had occurred in the negotiations. The Foreign Office here also reiterates that its information is opposed to the alarmist stories. In a dispatch from St. Petersburg a correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that In an interview an official of the Russian Foreign Office deprecated the alarmists reports concerning war between Russia and Japan. He said there was good reason to believe that an amicable settlement would be reached; that Russia did not intend to provoke war and to the best of his information the Japanese government was acting in the same spirit. In a dispatch to the Daily Mail the correspondent of that paper at Yokohama reiterates a statement made Oct. 1' that the Russians are fortifying Yongamisho and declares that to-day he has authentic information that they have built a fort and are preparing to mount heavy guns there. The Japanese government, the correspondent continues. Is conferring with representatives of all Jap railroads with a view to effecting the most speedy mobolization of the army whenever this becomes necessary. The TJen-Tsin correspondent of the Daily Mail says in a dispatch that Japan has warned China that she will occupy some points on Chinese territory If Russia fails to evacuate Manchuria. The correspondent of the Times at Seoul cables that the British and Japanese ministers there continue to press the Korean government to open Yangompho as a treaty port in order to neutralize Russia's present exclusive commercial facilities. The Korean foreign minister, the correspondent adds, expresses complete willingness to comply with these reirnCsis, but his attempts in this direction are negatived by the Emperor, who. in a state of apprehension because of the conflicting foreign demands, shuts himself up in Ids palace and refuses to sanction any proposal. The Seoul correspondent of the Times announces that the first section of the Japanese railway from Seoul to Fusan was opened yesterday in the presence of the eire diplomatic corps. UNIVERSALIS!

"The first step to make a church mean, decrepit and menial,' she said, "is to give it something. We ought to loan, not give. We must help the struggling ministers of the frontier to help themselves. Kill this old habit of pauperizing parishes. We must build up a large loan fund." Addresses were made this afternoon by Rev. Augustus J. Chapia, of New York. Miss Anna Fester, of Massachusetts, and Rev. Nellie Ordal, of Maine. Rev. G. I.

the Tan-American Conference of Bishops. The subject was introduced by Bishop Doane. who declared that the Increase of divorce had become a serious menace to the country. He took the ground that divorce with remarriage can be allowed by the church only in the case of the innocent party to a divorce granted for adultery. Bishop Doane said that where there is the "least doubt upon a question of this vital importance, moral, religious and social, the act of mercy Is to safeguard the sanctity of marriage against any possible desecration."

Mrs. Spencer Is the widow of George E. Spencer, of Alabama. She came here from Washington, D. C, in 1902 and was given a place in the marshal's office, being later made chief deputy, the duties of which position are to keep the books and records of the office.

Ellsworth, president of the Ellsworth Coal Company, at Ellsworth, Pa., to-day had a conference with officials of the Department of Justice concerning the allegation that his company had violated the contract labor laws in importing into this country Welsh miners for work in its collieries. Mr. Ellsworth denied that either he or his company had induced the miners to come to the United States, and declared that he had had nothing to do with the firm of Jones Bros., of Ponty Pridd, South Wales, who had prevailed upon the miners to come to this country. He said the firm, was not authorized to represent the Ellsworth Coal Company in any way. He urged the Department of Justice to investigate the matter thoroughly before instituting proceedings, assuring the officials there was no ground for a prosecution of his company.

Parks case, was suspended to-day by Judge Foster. An affidavit was fded by defendant's counsel to the effect that Lynch committed perjury on the advice of former City Magistrate Henry A. Brann, now in private practice. Samuel Parks, Henry Farley, Timothy McCarthy and Assemblyman Riehard J. Butler.

A3IOLWT LOST I1V SHUT-DOWN OF THE ASIA LG A 31 ATE D CO 31 PAX Y. About 20,000 Men Will Be Affected by the Closing of 3Iines, Smelters, Etc., in Montana. CHARGES MADE BY HEINZE WALL-STREET SPECULATORS ACCUSED OF CAUSING SHUT-DOWN. Amalgamated Copper Company Officials, However, Say They Cannot Rnn Under Clancy's Decision. BUTTE, Mont., Oct. 23.-By the general shutdown of the Amalgamated Copper Company properties last night from 13,000 to 13,000 men are directly thrown out of employment and others will be indirectly affected within a week, so that the grand total will reach 20,000. Tho Great Northern will lay off a large portion of the freight crews, heretofore engaged in hauling ore from Butte to the Boston and Montana smelter at Glen Falls. The Butte, Anaconda & Pacific Railway will lay off freight crews between Butte and Anaconda. In addition to these, numerous other enterprises, large and small, which relied upon the Amalgamated as their chief customer, will be obliged to curtail. In Montana alone approximately $1,000,000 a week is cut off the pay rolls. Butte streets were filled to-day with the 7,000 miners thrown out last night. Boarding-house keepers, storekeepers, etc., whom the miners owe, besieged the justice courts, seeking garnishee orders. The constables could not serve the papers fast enough and the justice clerks worked overtime handing them out. So far there has been no violence. Representatives of the Amalgamated Company declare that by the decision rendered by Judge William Clancy in the Boston and Montana Company injunction case, the Amalgamated Company is practically wiped out of existence and cannot do business in Montana. The decision, they say, In effect, brands the Amalgamated as an outlaw. Its stockholders are prevented from receiving dividends, they say, although $3,000,000 Is tied up and awaiting distribution to the stockholders. The Amalgamated people claim they are barred from conducting their own business and have ordered the suspension of all operations in Montana. It may take nine or ten months before the company can get a hearing before the Supreme Court. Mr. Heinze issued the following statement last night: "The action of the Amalgamated Copper Company in ordering a general shutdown of all mines In Butte controlled by its subsidiary companies has no actual connection with the decision rendered by Judge Clancy. His order does not necessitate a close-down. As far as the receivership suit against the Butte Company is concerned there has been no change in conditions for over two years past. The injunction against the payment of dividends has also been In force for the same length of time, and the new order simply puts that matter in shape for the Supreme Court to pass upon. 1 deeply deplore the action in closing the mines, as it will inflict hardships upon many." August Heinz, of the Montana Ore Purchasing Company, to-day published another statement giving his side of the shutdown. He said it was a move on the part of Wall street speculators, among them II. II. Rogers, of the Amalgamated Copper Company, to control stock manipulation, and was not directly caused by the injunction issued yesterday by Judge Clancy. He also said that Judge Clancy's decision yesterday was in line with the Northern Securities decision. President William Scallon, of the Anaconda Copper Company, this afternoon made a statement in answer to Mr. Heinz. He says: "To lawyers alike who happen to be acquainted with the Northern Securities case, to which Mr. Heinz refers, his assertion that the provisions of Judge Clancy's decision are 'very nearly Identical with the order issued by the Circuit Court of Appeals in the merger case indicates either gross Ignorance on Mr. Heinz's part or a desire to pervert the facts. In the Northern Securities case the order directed the retransfer of tho stock to Its original owners, and recognized the property rights of the Northern Securities Company. Judge Clancy's decision, on the contrary, so far as it goes, declares that the adverse party has no rights whatever, prohibits any transfers, and simply proposes to wipe out the rights." Continuing. Mr. Scallon said that there was no truth in the statement that Mr. Rogers, president of the Amalgamated Company, ordered the shutdown to affect the stock market. The Amalgamated officials are reticent as to expressing an opinion as to the probable length of the suspension, saying it may bo of six or eight months' duration and perhaps a greater period. An effort will be made by leading citizens of the State to have the Supreme Court advance the hearing on the appeal from Judge Clancy's decision in the case in the hope that a reversal of the judgment by the tribunal will induce the Amalgamated Copper Company to resume. Indignation among the Amalgamated people is rife and they are loud in denouncing the present state of affairs and declare that all business on the part of the company will remain at a standstill until the Boston and Montana receivership matter is finally settled. With the exception of small crews manning the pumps, all the mines are deserted and as soon as the furnaces can be cleared of charges and fires drawn the four smelters of the Amalgamated will shut down. This will be accomplished to-night or tomorrow, and by to-morrow night it Is expected all operations of the Amalgamated Copper Company will be at a complete standstill. Ore shipments have ceased and the Great Northern and Butte, Anaconda & Pacific railroads are reducing their crews. The Northern Pacific and the Oregon Short-line are but lltlte affected by the shut-down. Business men fear the worst should the suspension continue any length of time, as the army of Amalgamated employes is the principal sustaining factor of Butte's industrial life. In Anaconda the town Is entirely dependent on the big Washoe plants for its existence, and the closing of the works is the worst blow in the history of that city. Business men of Great Falls are already urging that the case of the Amalgamated Company may be speedily brought before the Supreme Court for consideration, as the closing of the electrolytic smelters means a body blow to the business activity of Great Falls. Throughout the State generally a state of depression is reflected, and In Butte business is practically paralyzed, with fear of a crash in the event of a prolonged closedown. Business men are canceling their orders for winter supplies. To-nfght the principal streets are blocked with miners and indignant mutterings can be heard on all sides. Extra police have been sworn in, with orders to prevent the gathering of large crowds. ' Application for a Receiver. TRENTON. N. J., Oct. 23. Vice Chancellor Grey to-day granted an order to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed for J. F. Hazard & Co., a New Jersey corporation engaged In the lumber business in Philadelphia.

Porel against Mme. Rejane, tho couple appeared before Judge Ditte, president of the tribunal of first instance to-day for the usual judicial effort to effect reconciliations. Only a few minutes was necessary to show the Judge that neither party was inclined to a reconciliation and at the end of half an hour they left, after having signed as witnesses, the document drawn up and signed by the judge in his formal decision, that no reconciliation could be effected. Judge Ditte confided the daughter of the couple to Mme. Rejane and gave the custody of their son to M. Porel. Mme. Rejane having the right to receive her son each day at breakfast time. Mme. Rejane said: "This is a great grief for me, but it was caused independent of my will. 1 have done nothing that could have given a motive for the violence of which I have been the victim. I struggled as long as possible to avoid a scandal, but this struggle prolonged itself beyond my resources. During the hearing to-day I repelled the attempts at conciliation. Thank God I have obtained possession of my daughter." NOTED HISTORIAN DEAD WILLIAM EDWARD HAHTPOLE LECKY, FA3IOUS IRISH SCHOLAR. Sat in the British Parliament as Dnb Hn University's RepresentativeSome of Ills Works. LONDON, Oct. 23. The Rt Hon. William E. H. Lecky, the historian, died here last night of heart disease. He had been ailing for some time. William Edward Hartpole Lecky was born at Newton Park, near Dublin, on March 26, 1838, and for many years sat in Parliament for Dublin University. This illustrious historian was one of the brightest scholars that scholarly Ireland has produced. Although a Unionist, he was in thorough sympathy with his race and his country, and his works, especially his "History of England," did much for the advancement of the Irish cause. Mr. Lecky wrote that famous book, "History of European Morals, from Augustus to Charlemagne," and published it in 1SC9. It became a classic upon its publication, and no historical work ranks above it. Akin to this grand performance of the pen is his "History of the Rise and Influence of Rationalism In Europe," a book that Is considered by some to be of more importance than his popular masterpiece. He wrote a little library on the history of Ireland, chiefly valuable to statesmen and statists, and he also wrote a "History of England in the Eighteenth Century," a work which took high rank, and which has been translated Into German. Many of his other works have also been done Into various languages. At fifty-two he brought out a little volume of poems, most of which were written when he was a young man, and some after he had grown older. The poems are by no means the best things that Mr. Lecky wrote. He was more a historian and lawyer than a man of letters. Other Deaths. ROCHESTER. N. Y., Oct. 25.-Former Lieutenant Governor.

Democratic Chairman Wants to Find Author of the Forged Letter. James L. Keach, chairman of the Democratic; city committee, spent a great part of yesterday afternoon in the United States district attorney's office in consultation with Jesse J. M. La Follette, assistant district attorney, seeking the aid of the government authorities in endeavoring to lind the parties that sent the" forged Keach letter through fhe mails to a number of the voters on the evening preceding the city election. Mr. Keach claims that he can produce one man who was defrauded of his vote by reason of the letter, if the government authorities think they will be unable to obtain proof that the letter did defraud the voters. Mr. Keach has alreadv placed one of the letters in the hands of V. B. Fletcher, the postoffiee inspector of this district, who is now looking into the matter.

Mr. Kealing has not yet given his opinion in the matter. Keach has also referred the matter to the secret service officers at Washington. HOUSE LOOTED WHILE IN JAIL. 3Irs. Alice Taylor Goes Home to Find Everything: of Value Gone. Mrs. Alice Taylor, 2207 Yandes street, who was sent to jail some time ago by Judge Stubbs, of the Juvenile Court, for refusing to bring her children before him on demand, was released from that Institution Thursday afternoon and, on going to her home, found that housebreakers had entered her residence and carted away everything of any value. All that was left to her was of little consequence. She at once reported her loss to the police. One of the patrolmen who went to her house to investigate the case said last night that everything she had left after the robbery could have been put in a barrel. No trace of the thief who carried her effects away could be found and the poor woman is convinced that her life is nothing but one continuous round of unhappiness. TAX LAWS CONFUSING. Commissioners Hold Special Meeting and Will Recodify Statutes. The State Board of Tax Commissioners held a special meeting at the Statehouse yesterday afternoon. The board talked over the tax laws, some parts of which are difficult for tax officers to interpret on account of the numerous amendments that have been rasped since the old tax lav, was enacted in 1S91. Many of the sections are now obsolete, some of the amendments, it is said, being opposed to sections of the original law. It is the plan of the board to compile these laws concisely and clearly before its sessions next summer. After the recodification the tax laws will be published iu pamphlet form. A Thrilling Story from the Near East. The immediate danger of a war between Turkey and Bulgaria seems to be practically over for a time, but the ceaseless conflict between the Moslem and the Oriental Christian is going on just the same. Driven from their native land by the neverending persecution of the hostile population surrounding them, there is gradually coming into existence here in America a body of Oriental Christians who maintain close relations with their friends at home despite the thousands of sea miles that iutervene. The Syrian colony in New York is particularly active in its communications with the Orient and the first page of next Sunday's colored supplement is made from material supplied by these exiles in this Western land. The page is entitled: HALIBI, THE ROBIN HOOD OF SYRIA, the tale of a Christian avenger told by New York Syrians. The story Is not only intensely interesting, but it is a noteworthy contribution to the history of current events. Eelies Hallbi, to give his full name, is a true hero in the eyes of his compatriots, though hated and feared by- the Turks in the neighborhood of Beirut, and the chances are that when you have read about him you will agree with the Syrian Christians who idolize him. The pictures with the story are from photographs furnished by the New Y'ork Syrians; they are printed in four colors and the page as a whole is beautiful and artistic. CURRENT FASHIONS IN COLOR. The fashion plates in four colors on the fourth page are exquisite, the difficult shades of the gowns that are described and illustrated being reproduced with perfect fidelity. The descriptive article by Adelaide Samson which accompanies them is thoroughly up to date and informing. The titles of the pictures are: "A Royal Creation of Black Velvet, Sable and Lace Velvet. "Theater Wrap of Rosa Velvet and Green and Rose Tinted Lace Decoration; Rainbow Effect. "A Street Wrap of Pastel Green Broadcloth with Braid and Button Decorations. "A Street Wrap of Brown Cloth with Gold Trimmings and Tuscan Gold Buttons." A $3,500 HOUSE. The house plan and description will this week be found upon the third page. The house chosen for illustration and description was built for $3,500, but by a Judicious change here and there a house could be built from the same plans for several hundred dollars les3 and still be a very desirable residence. Figures In detail are given and also explanations that will show just how the plans may be modified. Margaret Greenleaf answers a number of questions as to household decoration. THE CHILDREN'S PAGE. Miss Mabel L. Humphrey furnishes the large half-page drawing printed In colors with Halloween for its subject. It shows a group of happr children enjoying themselves on Halloween as only healthy American children can enjoy themselves on the holiday which has come to be especially dedicated to them.

T THE. PUBLIC: In presenting. PAW PAW. a natural stomach, heart and nerve tonic, I feel that I have added to the science of medicine a force that is as revolutionary as was vaccination, as important to mankind as the discovery cf antiseptics, and as beneficial in the preservation of human life and happiness as anything that man's ingenuity or proverbial wisdom has ever devised. THE PRACTICAL DRUGGIST AND REVIEW OF REVIEWS SAYS: 'The juice of the Paw Paw Is more efficacious than pepsin in dissolving albumen. The fruit or juice seems to have the same effect as a good digestive, and is most effective in cases of dyspepsia and habitual constipation.' Having combined this wonderful natural remedy with ether medicaments, I positively assert that I am giving to the world the greatest stomach, blood, heart and nerve tonic known to mankind. I know that Paw Paw will make worn-out stomachs almost as good as new; will make good, rich blood and build up the nervous system; will do away with both the necessity and desire for beer, whisky, wine and other injurious stimulants. A body that Is overworked, a system that is run down, requires a stimulant. Alcoholic stimulants lift, but let you fall. PAW PAW LIFTS AND HOLDS YOU. I want every weak and debilitated person to give PAW PAW a trial. I want every doctor carefully to test this remedy, and then honestly tell the public the results. I want every clergyman, when he feels exhausted, to take PAW PAW and then tell his friends what he thinks of it. I want every mother to introduce Paw Paw into her home. It will prove a ready agent In curing and warding off many diseases. I want pvery tired woman, after a hard day's work or an afternoon's shopping, to take a tablespoonful of Paw Paw and see how quickly It will refresh and Invigorate her. I urge upon brain workers particularly the use of Paw Paw. It will immediately give tone and energy to the whole nervous system. If the toiler who feels the need of a stimulant will step into the nsarest drug store and ask for Paw , Paw he will have no further use for whisky, beer cr other" stimulants. I believe that when the public becomes thoroughly familiar with the virtues of Paw Paw It will not only be used Iri every home, but vill be adopted into tha United States Army and Navy, and used in every hospital throughout the civilized world. GET A BOTTLE FREE TO-DAY. In order that everybody may have a chance to test this remedy before buying, I have arranged for free distribution of 10,000 bottles from the offices of THE STAR, corner Market street and Monument Place and the Sentinel, corner Pearl and Illinois streets. After you have taken it write to the editor of any paper and tell him tha truth. If it has cured you tell him so. If it has benefited you say so If it has done you no good say so. Let us have the truth MUN YON.
