PRETENDED TO SEE SPECTER

AND ACTED AS IF I Sensational Scene in Court, Which Probably Hastened the Jury's Verdict of Guilty. AX IROQUOIS FIRE CASE CHICAGO. May 27.-Choking and ga?pin? and with eyes rolling with terror, Mahnken, accused of fraudulently identifying the body of Mrs. Frank R. Greenwald. an Iroquois fire victim, in order to Fteal her money, suddenly jumped to his feet in Judge Clifford's courtroom to-day and pointed frantically at an Imaginary spectre which he thought stod confronting him. . While the spectators looked on in terror the man frothed at the Hps and waved his arms wildly in the air. He was overpowered and thrown to the floor, where it took half a dozen police officers to hold him. Paroxysm after paroxysm shook him, and he had to be manacled and taken into an anteroom. When quiet was finally restored Mahnken's lawyer decided to let the case go to the Jury without argument. Almost instantly the twelve men tiled back, the foreman announcing the verdict "guilty." If the insanity was feigned iL failed to move the jury. The technical charge against Mahnken was perjury, and it was proved that he had taken the body of Mrs. Greenwald from a morgue and had it burled as his aunt. His motive was to gain possession of the $4u0 found on the body. FACTS ABOUT THE OPENING OF ROSEBUDRESERVATION South Dakota Land Held by In dians to Be Given to Homesteaders. REGISTRATION IN. JULY I WASHINGTON, May 27. The proclamation of President Roosevelt throwing open for homestead settlement 2,400 quarter sections (160 acres) of land in Gregory county. South Dakota, has brought many inquiries concerning the character of the land, and which may be answered by the following statement of facts: At present this land is held by the Indians and is known as the Rosebud reservation. ' Registration for these lands will begin early in July, and Chamberlain and Yankton have been designated as the points of registry. Chamberlain is point of final entry. .The land Is valuable for diversified farming and corn is the principal crop. Portions of Gregory county that are too rough for farming are well adapted for raising cattle and hogs a profitable occupation in South Dakota. Improved farmland outside of the reservation sells for $25; unimproved farmland for $15; grazing land for $10 an acre. Chamberlain. Platte, Geddes and Yankton, S. D., are the best points from which to enter the reservation. Chamberlain is one of the points of registry (the first process in taking up land), and the seat of the government land office, whre final entry for lands on the reservation must be made. It is a town of over 2,000 inhabitants, and it has for a number of years been the favorite entry point of cattlemen and landmen to the transmissouri section of South Dakota. It is well equipped to take care of those who will visit the Rosebud reservation. It has one large biick hotel and a dozen smaller ones and a score of livery stables. Best of all. there is a steamboat line running down the Missouri river from Chamberlain directly to the reservation, a distance of thirty miles. Two steamboats will make this trip during the summer, and afford convenient and- comfortable transportation to the land opened for settlement. There Is also a pontoon bridge' across the Missouri river at Chamberlain for the ue of those who prefer horses or teams to the boats. The roads are excellent. Chamberlain is the Western terminus of the Iowa and Dakota divisions of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. Platte, S. D-. is twelve miles from the reservation. There is a good ferry across tue Missouri river about twelve miles west of the town( and the roads are good. The population is about 1.200, and there are a half dozen hotels (one new one) and liveries. It is the northern terminus of the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Hallway from Sioux City and Yankton, 150 miles northwest or Sioux city. Geddes, S. D., is on the latter line, eleven miles nearer Sioux City. It is a most accessible point for landseekers going to the Rosebud reservation. There is a good ferry across the Missouri river twelve miles southwest of Geddes, and the trip to the reservation can be quickly and comfortably made. The roads are good. Geddes has been the center of a. big land movement during tho last five years, and is well equipped to handle landseekers. There is one three-story brick hotel and a dozen smaller ones. There are a dozen good livery stables. Yankton. S. D.. is another point designated by the government as a goint of registry for lands on the Rosebud reservation. It is sixty-one miles northwest of Sioux City, on the Platte line, and 57S from Chicago." One can leave Chicago at 6:05 p. m. and arrive at Yankton the next noon, or leave Chicago at 10:25 p. m. and reach Yankton at 7:15 p. m. the next day. Yankton has a population of 5,000, three banks, four newspapers, two large brick hotels and a doen smaller ones. It is also the starting point for a number of stage lines, and the livery facilities are excellent. From Yankton to Geddes is 76.6 miles, and from Yankton to Platte 88.5 miles.

12, 000 Japanese Are Said to Have I Been Killed in the Battle of Kin- Chou

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) of the Russians, their gun3 and their strength had been fully developed. To this end the Japanese began a series of careful reconnoissane-?. their officers working their way close enough to the Russian position to draw the enemy's lire. They thu3 secured fragments of shells for the purpose of ascertaining the caliber of the Russian gun?. They discovered that the batteries on NanShan hill included four howitzers of about fifteen centimeters caliber, several oldstyle cannon and two quick-firing guns of twelve centimeters caliber. The Japanese discovered also a number of large implacements, but they did not learn the number uf guns contained therein. These implacements faced to the north and to the east. The guns fired by the Russians developed a range of meters. Eight heavy guns post-vj on the Russian right in the vicinity of Hu-Shang-Tao also were discovered and another strong Russian position developed by these reconnoissances was on another hill southwest of Nan-Shan hill, where the Russians had 'a series of shelter trenches. On the shore of Talien-Wan bay, close to the liKid of the bay. the Rursians had established a series of positions. Here were set up the searchlights which nightly played over the Japanese angle in the hills to the northeast. Further reconnoissances developed the fact that west of Liu-Chia-Tien the Russians had no defenses. Extending to the northward from Yen-Chia-Tien to the west coast of the Liao-Tung peninsula there were no defenses whatever except the force posted at Kin-Chou. This gap in the defense was a fniil defect in the Russian position, and whn it was perceived the Japanese extended their ri?ht to the north and east, envelop! ig Kin-Chou ani the Russian extreme ripht. The Japanese left also was extended to WangrChla-Tung, on the shore of TalienWan bay, and the center moved forward. JAPANESE SHELLED BY GUNBOAT. Wednesday morning at 5:30 o'clock the Japanese attacked Kin-Chou, and for three hours they had an artillery duel with the batteries on Nan-Shan hill. The Russian gunners searched the Japanese lines with their fire, but failed to inflict much damage. The battle was resumed at dawn on Tuesday. Three Japanese gunboats then entered Kin-Chou bay, and in co-operation with the artillery on shore, shelled the Russian positions on Nan-Shan hill. A Russian gunboat in Talien-Wan bay steanvd close to the shore and shelled the Japanese left. From dawn the batteries on both sides hammered away at each other. At an early hour the Japanese infantry moved forward, and at 5:20 on Thursday morning they entered Kin-Chou. the Russians retiring to the south. The ' fightiug continued into Thursday night, the Japanese pressing to the south and storming Nan-Shan hill. They followed the retreating Russians through the southern hills. The reports received here fail to cover the events on the Russian right. It is probable, however, that the Russians have abandoned these positions. No information is given concerning losses; they probably were heavy on both sides. Later advices Pay the Russian resistance at Nan-Shan hill was stubborn. The Japanese made a series of assaults before the Russians finally yielded the position. The Russians abandoned this hill at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, retreating toward Nan-Quan-Llng, where it is understood a second lkie of defenses exist. The Russians may rally at this line of defenses unless they have been disordered by the defeat at Kin-Chou and Nan-Shan. The Russians had a series of mines planted at To-Fang-Shan station on the railroad, which were exploded. The station was destroyed. The Japanese forces were under fire for sixteen hours. The general staff here has received telegrams front the commanders commending the bravery and fortitude of their men. ADMIRAL TOGO'S WORK; COMPLETE BLOCKADE TOKIO, May 27. Vice Admiral Togo has now established a complete blockade around the southern end of the Liao-Tung peninsula.' This completely envelops Port Arthur from the seaward, and probably marks the opening of the final investment of the town and its fortifications. The following report has been received from Vice Admiral Togo: "The gunboats Thuklshl, Heiyen, Amagi and Chokal and the first torpedo boat flotilla, under Captain Nishiyama, reached Kin-Chou bay on the evening of Wednesday. From dawn of Thursday the vessels co-operated with the army in bombarding Suchaton. The Amagi and the Chokai went in close and bombarded all day. At 11 o'clock in the morning the enemy retreated from Suchaton, but they continued to fire from a position behind Suchaton. Our casualties were ten, including Captain llayashi, of the Chokai, who was killed." Subsequent reports Indicate that the storming of Nan-i3han hill yesterday was a bloody affair. The Japanese first centered their fire on the Russian batteries, in which work they were aided by four gunboats from Kin-Chou bay. They succeeded in silencing many of the enemy's guns. The Russians had constructed a series of trenches around the hill on a terrace protected by wire entanglements and other such devices. The Japanese made a series of rushes, but they were in vain. The' deadly rifle and cannon fire of the enemy checked them repeatedly. Finally, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon the Japanese reformed and stormed the crest of the hill. Tho Russians held to their position doggedly and it was 7 o'clock in the evening before the Japanese finally gained possession of the ridge. . PORT ARTHUR SHELLED DURING LAND FIGHT ST. PETERSBURG, May 27. The Foreign Office has received dispatches from both Che-Foo and Peking reporting from Chinese sources a new bombardment of Port Arthur. May 25. If this be true it indicates that Vice Adimral Togo used the guns of his ships to make a diversion at Port Arthur and pave the way for a final assault on the Russian positions around Kin-Chou yesterday. This Is a big holiday, the anniversary of Emperor Nicholas's coronation, and no expression could be obtained at the War Office upon to-day's dispatch from Tokio, but MEN SCORE A AT Court Decides the Queen City Telephone Company Is Entitled to Use Streets. CINCINNATI, May 27.-The Probate Court to-day decided that the Queen City Telephone Company was entitled to the use of the streets of Cincinnati for its wires and prescribed the manner in which the franchise should be exercised. This action, if sustained by the higher courts, breaks the monopoly hitherto held by the Bell Telephone Company in Cincinnati. Notice was given of appeal. The Queen City Telephone Company is controlled largely by Indiana capitalists, the majority of them living in Indianapolis. The Indianapolis directors include II. D. Gates, J. T. ilolliday, Joseph C. Sheff, W. F. Kuhn. W. S. Wishard. August Kuhn and E. I. Fisher. Mr. Gates said last night, on learning of the decision of the Probate Court: "Of course the decision is a complete victory for us. Although notice is given of an appeal I do not think this action will be taken, and believe the cae could only be appealed on an error. We intend to begin work on our lines at once. We will operate an Independent company and will connect our wires with all the other independent companies in' this part of the country. I think we ought to get our lines Into operation by fall at the latest." GEORGE GOULD MAY RUN FOR CONGRESS NEW YORK. May 27. The World tomorrow will say: "Republican politicians received with much satisfaction the rumor that George Gould Is about to enter politics and that he will try at the forthcoming election for a peat in the House of Representatives in the district in New Jersey which embraces Lakewuod, where he has hi- country seat."

The new; the Japanese victory at Kin-Chou, wi was foreshadowed several days ago by he rumors of persistent fighting there, r-as published on a Russian holiday, the anniversary of the coronation of Empefor Nicholas. Curiously enough, the news .of the Japanese disaster af.oat came on a similar holiday, the Emperor's birthday. While there was little information in government circles regarding the Russian defeat, the news caused the celebrationf-fat Tsarskye-Selo to bt shortened. Only f a brief service was celebrated in the chapel, instead of the customary litany, and the Emperor spent the remainder of the day In th? transaction of business. It was rumored late to-night that General Kuropatkin had telegraphed some totalis direct to Minister of War Sakhan f, which will not be transmitted to the Emperor until to-morrow. The general stPÜT, in view of the foreign news of the capture of Kin-Chou, admitted that there was little now to hinder a Japanese advance on Port Arthur itself, and that the actual siege of the Gibraltar of the East had begun in earnest. The staff insisted, however, on the ability of the fortress to hold out. RUSSIANS PROTECTED BY WELL-PLACED GUÜS CHICAGO, May 27. A special to the Daily News from Che-Foo says: "Considerable is expected before the Japanese follow up their reported victories-bn the narrowest part of the Kin-Chou isthmus. The fighting which preceded the fall of KiiChou must have been exhausting, but Bie ensuing pursuit must have left the Mikado's troops unfit for a quick descent -m General Stoessel's second line of defence.

CAN EXPLODE MINES BY WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY PARIS, May 23. The Journal's St. Petersburg correspondent says that Col. Perky, in a communication to,.' the E'fctric Technical Society on the discovery', of a means for utilizing telegraphy to explode submarine mines, claims that an apparatus invented by him can change "the position of mines already .submerged, make mines attached to the bottom rise to the surface and explode and render fixed mines not connected to a port by wires harml-ss to specified vessels and dangerous to hostile ones Colonel Perky refuses to reveal the details of his invention, which is causing a great sensation in naval circles. SHARPSHOOTERS CUT OFF BY THE JAPANESE BERLIN', May 2S. The Tokio correspondent of the Tageblatt sends the following under date of May 27: "It is generally believed here that General Oku succeeded on May 2G in cutting off a portion of the Fourth Ku.xöian sharpshooters division under Major General Fock, having taken the heights between Port Arthur and Kin-Chou on Mav 14-25. and that the capitulation of this body Is expected. The fight was most bitter nd stubborn on both sides and the losses W re severe." '. ' The Tageblatt'8 military critic suggest that Lieutenant General Stoesel succeeded by a rapid march In freeing General Fock's troops from the trap.
