IOWA’S GOOD RECORD.

EXCELLENT SHOWING MADE IN TARGET PRACTICE. Equals Work of British Ship Ocean in 1902—Summer Cottages at Thousand Island Park on St. Lawrence River —Destroyed by Fire. __ Remarkable records wore made by the lowa's guns in the ajinual record target practice just conipleted at Pensacola. The lowa’s 12-inch guns made forty-two shots ami thirty-four hits. The best 12gun made eleven shuts and eleven hits. The hits per gun per minute for the 12-inch guns were 0.75. This equals the record made by the British ship Ocean in 1902, when she broke the world’s record, anil in the case of the lowa die record is all the more creditable because her guns are of an old type. The lowa’s 8-inch guns made 1.20 hits per gun per minute, the best gun making eight hits out of nine shots.

RIVER MAY SWALLOW A TOWN. Authorities at Elk Point* S. D., Plan to Fight the Missouri. The authorities at Elk Point, S; D., are alarmed over the fact that the’Missouri River threatens to swallow up the town, and they called in expert engineers to aver the danger if possible.

TALKS ON CHICAGO RIOTS.

Cleveland Defends His Action In Sending Troops in 1894. - Former President Grover Cleveland delivered a lecture at Princeton, N. J., the other d:iy,\in which he "congratulated” himself —-to—use his own words—on his course in sending federal troops to Chicago to suppress the riots during the great railroad strike of 1894, and read the correspondence wherein he severely criticised tEw late Gov. John P. Allgeld' for his resentment of federal interference.

Mr. Cleveland’s ■ address was the first of the ''Honr.v Stafford Little Lectures on Public Affairs.". a series founiTeilTy his personal friend, Mr. Little 1 Primeton '4-i.i. who 'lied about a week ago. It Was Mr. Cleveland's first lecture in two .rears. Mr. Cleveland's eondenin.'ition of the dead Illinois executive was unequivocal. 11c said: “"This-official not only refused to regard the riotous disturbances within the borders of his State as a sufficient cause for an application to the,federal government for its protection ’against domestic violence' under the mandate of the constitution, but actually protested against the presence of federal troops sent into the State upon the general government's initiative and for the purpose of defending itself in the clearly defined exercise of its legitimate functions.” The correspondence that followed was Illuminative of the._ whole quest ion__'of State rights and federal supremacy, concluding with this dispatch from Mr. Cleveland:

"While I am still persuaded that I have neither; transcended my authority nor duty in the emergency that confronts us, it seems to me that in this hour of danger and distress discussion may well give way to active efforts on the part of ali in authority to restore obedience to the law and to protect life and property.” “This.” said Mr. Cleveland, “closed a discussion which, in its net results, demonstrated how far one’s disposition and inclination will lead him astray in the field of argument.” Outlining his reasons for sending troops to Chicago, Mr. Cleveland said: "Attorney General Olney, in his official report, correctly stated the purpose and design of this outbreak in these words: To compel a settlement of disputes between the Pullman company and a portion of its employes, nothing else was meditated or aimed at than a complete stoppage of all the railroad transportation of the country, State and interstate, and freight as well as passenger.’ ” Mr. Cleveland then described the repeated but ineffectual attempts by the United Sta test Court injunctions and the use of deputy marshals to prevent riots and the obstruction of commerce and mails.

SAFEBLOWERS AT WORK.

Wreck Postoffice at Hanna, Ind., and Then Flee in Stolen Rig. Safe blowers wrecked the postoffice building and safe at Hanna, Ind., late Monday night, secured SI,OOO in cash And postage stamps, stole a horse and buggy and eluded pursuers. Hamm is about forty miles southeast of Chicago. It is a village of 600 population. The postmaster at Hanna is G. A. Trigger, who also conducts a general merchandise business. His store, a frame building, is the largest structure in Hanna. Three explosions, coming in rapid suctession, shook the village shortly before midnight and broke the window glass in dwellings nearest the postoffice. Too frightened at first to move, the villagers hesitated long enough to permit the safe blowers to dash from the building and drive toward Chicago in a buggy they had stolen from a farmer. Dynamite was the explosive used by the robbers. What method was used to penetrate the safe is not known to the postmaster, as his place is almost a total wreck. It is thought that the dynamite was placed about the safe and set off with percussion caps and a fuse. The stolen horse and buggy were hidden in an alley a block distant from the wrecked building.

The Political Pot.

The Ohio Democratic State convention will meet at Columbus May 25 and 26. Gov. La Follette 'of Wisconsin, it is said, has lost some votes in the State primaries. Intimates of William J. Bryan say he is for Charles A. Towne for President, not William R. Hearst. The Democratic congressional campaign committee, in session at Washington, elected Charles A. Edwards secretary. Returns from the Democratic primaries in Louisiana show that every member of the Legislature will be Democrati.c. The West Virginia Republican State central committee elected W. E. Glasscork of Morgantown chairman and H. S. Richards of Wheeling secretary. Mysterious letters, signed "Committee,” have been received by Republicans nt Anderson, Ind., asking them to support Gov. Durbin as Roosevelt’s running mate. The State Democratic convention at Portland, Oregon, to nominate delegates to the. national convention refused by a large vote to send an instructed delegation. The Hearst movement in Oklahoma is gaining strength daily, and the New Yorker undoubtedly will get the Democratic instructions. The element in control will form an alliance with the Populists. The Virginia State Democratic committee fixed June 9 as the date and Richmond as the place for the State convention to elect delegates to St Louis. Sentiment in the State is strongly for Judge Parker, but the delegates to St Louis will hardly be instructed for him because of the hope that a Southern man be selected.

BUSSIANS IN A TRAP.

PORT ARTHUR IS INVESTED BY TWO JAP ARMIES. Cut Off from the 'World, Russians Expect to Hold City for Year—Mikado's GO,OOO Men Land from Sixty Trans ports and Seize Railroad. The Russians seem to have abandoned Port Arthur .to its fate, and Gen. Stocssel. and his men must either surrender dr die. The Japanese invading armies swarm at will over the narrow 'neck of the Lino-Tung peninsula. They have cut the wires and blockaded the railroad back of the doomed Alexieff ami the wounded were hurriedly shipped north, just before the way of escape was closed. Admiral Togo has reduced Port Arthur's fleet to a nullity. Two big Japanese armies, believed to number not less than 60,000 men, have landed on the Liao-Tung peninsula north of Port Arthur, seized the railroad and put the Russian fortress in a state of siege. One army landed on the west, tho other on the east, coast of the peninsula. It is reported that one army will march north and attack Newcliw.'iiii'. Port Arthur has been isolated and left to its own resources, and' yet all this the Russians seem to accept with great stoicism. These events have been expected since the outbreak of the war and tho authorities appear to lie relieved now that tho blow has fallen. They assert that the fortress of I’ort Arthur is impregnable and amply provisioned to stand a siege for a year and that it can hold out until the time comes to relieve it. While the landing was proceeding on Thursday, the Japanese ships, consisting of the battleships Mikasa, Hatsuse, Sliikashimn, Yashima and Fuji, and the cruisers Iwate, Idsumo and Asama, made a demonstration off Port Arthur to prevent the possible egress of Russian torpedo boats. A number of Japanese

torpedo boats were observed off Miado Island, in Pigeon bay. Upon the mountainous banks of the Yalu, Kuropatkin fears that the victorious Japanese will turn his flank and the stage is cleared for one of the greatest sieges and assaults of modern warfare. Land at Two Points. According to official information the lauding of troops from sixty transports began simultaneously at Pitsewo and Cape Terminal on the morning of May 5. It is also reported that troops are being landed at -Kinchow, but this is not credited, as the Russians are known to have fortifications there, and it is not believed that the Japanese had the daring to land immediately under an intrenched position, from which the Russians could inflict severe injury on therm Complete details of the landing are lacking owing to the interruption of communication. No resistance was made, the few Cossacks who observed the movement retiring when the warships shelled the shore preparatory' to disembarkation. Ten thousand men were put ashore Thursday, and the disembarkation was proceeding at the time that communication ceased. It is believed that there are over 20,000 now on land preparing for a forward movement. Two Japanese regiments were hurried westward to cut the railroad and tchgraph communication. One of these fired on a train conveying the wounded from Port Arthur. It was because he was convinced that Port Arthur was about to be cut off that Viceroy Alexieff, accompanied by his staff and Grand Duke Boris, left hastily. On Thursday several train loads of sick and wounded and other ineffectives were dispatched northward.

Wants No Mediation.

In the niost categorical terms Russia has officially notified the world that she will not accept mediation to terminate the war with Japan. The official notification declares: "Everything within the limits of possibility was done by Russia to solve the complications which had arisen in the far East in a peaceful manner. but after the treacherous surprise on the part of the Japanese which forced Russia to take up arms obviously no friendly mediation can have any success. Similarly the imperial government will not admit the intervention of any power whatsoever in the direct negotiations which will occur between Russia and Japan after the termination of hostile operations in order to determine the conditions of peace.”

The State Department has received a cablegram from United States Minister Griscom at Tokio confirming the press reports of the landing of the Japanese in the Liao-Tung peninsula, about forty miles above Port Arthur. The location as given in the Japanese dispatch is Kinchau.

Humorous News Notea.

What Russia needs is. a Gen. Wood to clean up its camps in Manchuria. A lexieff’s plight should assure him the sympathy of Gen. Buller, at all events. Perhajs Kuropatkin intends that his masterly retreat shall go down in history. ’ Nobody need be surprised if Manchuria proves to be the graveyard of other reputations besides that of Alexieff. Alexieff is not the first man to discover the unpleasant consequences of occupying » job that is several sizes too large to be n fit

BATTLE WAS BLOODY.

Nearly 4,000 Men Are Said to Have Fallen in Yalu Fight. The official reports of Gen. Kuropatkin and Gen. Zassalitch on the battle of the Yalu have been received by the Czar and made.public. The reports show that from 3,000 to 4,oo(Lmen were killed and that the artillery fire on both sides was fierce in the extreme. It is now plain, that no more than 8,000 Russians were actually engaged in the fighting at the Yalu against the Japanese army, of a total strength of between 30,000 and 40,000. The losses on both sides, which are expected to reach T,Wo'Tn<r”p”dssibl;' 1.200 in the Russian force and twice that number for the Japanese,- make it one of the bloodiest fights in history. At the river crossing the Japanese dead lay piled up literally in heaps and Gen. Kuroki’s success was purchased at such a heavy cost that the Russians are disposed to regard it as rather a defeat than a victory for him. A story is circulated in St. Petersburg of a striking episode during the fighting on the Yalu river and the desperate bravery of a Russian regiment which without artillery attacked two and onehalf divisions of Japifhese. The Russians, headed by a chaplain bearing a cross, fought like lions, but were crushed and almost annihilated by overwhelming numlicrs, the scene after the light resembling a shambles. Gen. Kuropatkin's dispatch shows that tho Russians fought with such bulldog tenacity and bravery against the overwhelming superiority of the enemy that the nominal victory of the Japanese was eclipsed by the prowess of the Czar’s soldiers. Gen. ixuropatkin’s report also sprvetl to restore Gen. Zassalitch to public favor./ The Russian people are especially impressed with the desperate bayonet charge of the Eleventh regiment. The mental picture of the regiment advancing against the enemy with bands and bugles blaring and the priest with cross aloft at the head appealed to the dramatic sense of the Russian population as nothing else could, The survivors of this ,

heroic regiment which cut its way out declare that the position was surrounded by more than 1,000 dead Japanese. The loss of the guns which, according to the best information obtainable, consisted of twenty-two field pieces and eight machine guns, is considered particularly unfortunate, .even though they will lie of no service to the enemy on account of the removal of their breech locks.

Blows that Have Staggered Russia.

The naval losses of Russia since the outbreak of the war in battleships, cruisers and torpedo craft destroyed or dam' aged are as follows: Czarewitch, battleship, torpedoed and beached at Port Arthur, Feb. 7; 13,110 tons. ■ Retvizan, torpedoed and beached at Port Arthur, Feb. 8.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The attitude of the Manchurians and Chinese toward the advance of the Japanese forces is one of welcome. It is rumored that the Japanese captured Fengwangcheng May 4, and that the losses on both sides were Jieavy. In the battle of the Yalu on Saturday and Sunday the Japanese had a thousand casualties. Many Russian prisoners are held at Antung. It Is stated that Geb. Oku has landed three Japanese divisions, or 75,000 men, on the Y’alu river for the purpose of a - vanciug against the Russian main force. According to a telegram received from Chefoo the garrison at Port Arthur has been reduced to 4,000 men, and all the important documents, money and field guns have been removed to Mukden. There is no exaggeration in the statements that the Czar is taking the war terribly to heart. His appearance has undergone a great change. He looks pinched and plainly Is painfully worried.

THE GILLESPIE MURDER TRIAL.

Remarkable Indiana Tragedy Now Being Thrashed Out. No murder trial in southern Indiana in recent years lias attracted more attention than the one which is now on in Rising Sun, and in which the authorities are striving to bring to justice the murderers of Miss Elizabeth Gillespie. The prominence and wealth of the accused and the singular circumstances surrounding the tragedy, make it aauost remarkable and unusual case. Miss Gillespie was shot wjiile standing in the parlor of her home on the evening of Dec. 8, 1903. One of the most popular and prominent society women of Rising Sun, a member of one of the oldest and wealthiest families of southern Indiana, the murder'of Miss Gillespie created a sensation throughout the entire country. This was increased when the murdered woman's twin brother, James Gillespie, was placed under arrest charged with the crime. Held with him as accessories arc his sister, Mrs. Belle Seward, and Myron V. Barbour and his wife, Mrs. Carrie Barbour. Behind the murder of Miss Gillespie is the story of a family skeleton and that story the officers of the law have not been able to bring out. Noted throughout Indiana for their pride and haughtiness, the members of the Gillespie family have lived up to their reputation since the tragedy. Those implicated in the murder treat the authorities with disdain, while the other relatives maintain a forbidding silence. It has developed, however, that although James Gillespie entertained a deep affection for his sister at one time, he had during the last three or four years of her life hated her fiercely. Miss Gillespie, it is known, had severely criticised the conduct of Mrs. Carrie Barbour and this led to a violent quarrel between her and her brother, James, who, thereupon, went to live with the Barbours, opposite his own home. The fact that the mother, Mrs. Gillespie, had left her daughter the bulk of her property intensified the family feud. The most tangible evidence against James Gillespie is that he is one of the two men in Ilising’ Sun who own a dou-ble-barreled shotgun of 12 caliber. The bullet taken from Miss Gillespie’s temple was a No. 4 bird shot, the kind used in her brother’s gun, a supply of which had been given the latter a few days previous to the tragedy by Myron Harbour. On the night of the murder two men were approaching the Gilespie home from opposite directions. Jtoth saw the flash of the gun and heard the report, but no one passed them while they lan to the spot. They heard the clicks of an iron gate in the darkness. ”The only iron gateway ih that vicinity is” iu front of the Barbour residence. Lined up on both sides in the case are the most brilliant criminal lawyers in Indiana and the trial bids fair to be a great legal battle.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

—— Advices from Important New York. commercial centers, while —— —' reflecting disturbance due _tOijßrevalciice of unseasonable weather, says the International Mercantile Agency, emphasize the basic strength underlying trade conditions, with actual results considerably ahead of last year. Continued cold in the South and Southwest has retarded wholesale trade except for boots, shoes and rubbers, where an extraordinary demand is. keeping factories working overtime. Excellent business is reported in the West in groceries, dry goods, bard: ware, machinery, hats and caps, territory tributary to St. Louis showing exceptional results because of rush orders for “exposition week.” Low temperature, while restricting spring business, is aiding merchants to close out heavy-weight goods, with the result that the stock carried over will be unusually small. While advance orders are somewhat backward, indications point to extraordinary activity during May if seasonable weather prevails. Enormous demand is reported for agricultural implements, farmers evidencing little alarm over the future. Labor troubles are retarding business in Alabama, lowa, Colorado and parts of Pennsylvania and Ohio. This contributes uncertainty to a situation which will, however, be in a measure relieved by the agreement' of the iron and mine workers, which becomes effective in Colorado June 1. That will give partial assurance of fixed conditions for two years. In other sections more or less trouble is being experienced, although interference is not general or expected to extend materially. This Is emphasized by the apparent willingness of mining organizations to modify their requests in accordance with restricted output and' some evidence of business reaction. CiliCdHO of Chicago trade says: * ‘ The labor situation, while presenting a satisfactory contrast with that of a year ago, is not entirely devoid of complications requiring prompt adjustment to insure non-interruption of activity. With the better organization of both employers and wage-earn-ers pending differences may be solved without interference to general business. Aside from this feature the conditions of trade in most branches reflect continued improvement. Limited dealings in breadstuffs are still conspicuous, but, on the other hand, advance appears in consumption, of other commodities and in the demand for manufactured products. Better weather helped materially in bringing a gratifying change throughout the week, the most notable effect being larger purchases in the prominent retail lines and staples. Transactions at wholesale approximated fair proportions, the buying bulking best in dry goods, suits, shoes and clothing. Grain shipments, 1.253,878 bushels, are 69.04 per cent under those of the sank week last year. The wholesale price of flour was marked down slightly, but millers were enabled to maintain their quotations for export owing to restricted prdduction. Receipts of live stock, 285,261 head, compare with 200,339 same week last year. Hogs closed 1§ cents higher, and heavy beeves declined 5 cents, but choice sheep show no change.
