DENVER, Colo., June 13. "I think the
war 1 nearly over," said Governor Pea
body toimy. "I have news from General
Bell, that the Cripple Creek mines are
open and running today and there Is com
paratively little disaffection among the
men. There la no news of further trouble
or any likelihood of any.
"I don't know how many more men will
be deported, or whether any will bo. I
have heard nothing on this point. I learn
from Captain Bulkeley Wells of Tellurite
that the union men t'.ieie concede that
their cause is lost and those of them who
are acceptable to the mine owners are at
work again. One hundred and fifty capable
men, whether union or nonunion, have bce.i
Invited to go to work and the Invitation
will be speedily accepted.
"In Bllverton and Ouray peace relans.
The. troops have ell been ordered from
Las Animas county and on'.y Major Hill
remains to look after the closing" up of
the details of the campaign."
Governor Feabody sent the following re
ply to a message he received from the
Industrial Council of Kansas City con
demning his action:
I'm bod Shows Temper.
DENVER, Colo., June 13. J. J. Huckett,
secretary lnduntrl.il Council, Kansas City,
Mo.; The fact that your council endorses
the assassins, train wrecking and dyna
miting bv Hie lawless element In the Crip
ple Creek district but proves the necessity
for my present action In suppressing all
such from the soil of Colorado, He
come wine before you attempt to teach.
JAMKS H. PEA BODY, Governor.
Governor Peabody also sent the following
dispatch in reply to a request from an
eastern newspaper for a statement of his
reasons for permitting Colorado troops to
dump ninety-one union miners on the Kan
sas line, leaving them destitute on the
prairie, miles from habitation:
"The reason for deporting strikers and
agitators from Cripple Creek was the dy
namite outrage of June 6, whereby fourteen
nonunion miners were klllod and the sub
sequent street riots and killing of two non
union miners by the same element. Suit
able provisions were sent on the same train
with tha agitators. No cases of hunger or
tufierlng are reported.
"Tli constitution ot Colorado commands
the suppression of insurrection by such
means aa are necassary. Tha statement
published from headquarters of the West
ern Federation of Miners to the effect that
the present strike waa called by teferendum
vote and for the purpose of establishing
an eight-hour day is erroneous and false."
Insinuates that Miners Me.
"The strike was arbitrarily called by the
executive committee of the Western Fed
eration of Miners and protested against
by three-fourths of the miners in the Crip
ple Creek district.
"The eight-hour day has been established
ana recognixeu mr icn yen punt aim em
ployer and employe were satisfied and
working in harmony. Rioting, dynamiting
and anarchy has had its day in Colorado."
Kennlaon I'nder Arrest.
C. O. Kennlson, president of the Miners'
union, No. 40, of Cripple Creek, was ar
rested this afternoon by City Marshal
Moore of Gold Meld as he was going to
the headquarters of the deported miners
In thia city.
Tha charge against him is murder for
alleged participation la tne blowing up of
the Independence depot with dynamite.
Kennlson did not resist arrest, but after
his arrest ha got Into an altercation with
Moore and the marshal struck his pris
oner on tha head with a gun, making a
scalp wound.
Kennlson declared that ne knew nothing
about tha explosion and sent for William
D. Haywood, secretary of the Western
Federation of Miners. An attempt will be
made to secure a writ of Habeas corpus
for Kennlson and prevent his removal to
the Jurisdiction of Adjutant General Bell.
Tha sheriff's office here haa a number of
warrants for other men who are wanted
at Cripple Creek.
Bell Also Makes Statement. .
CRIPPLE CHEEK. Colo., June 13. Gen
aral Bell ftrj given out a statement con
cerning hlsnctlon in deporting strikers
and the causes leading up to the same.
He attributes the recent troubles growing
out of the miners' strike, and the strike
Itself, to tha socialist element In tha West
ern Federation of Miners, who, be says,
captured the organisation two years ago.
lie declares that the federation has made
Unionism a secondary consideration and
that the organisation, root and branch. Is
being made a vehicle for tha promotion of
socialism. Tha leaders, h asserts, have
not hesitated to cause "weak and willing
members to commit any crime, to strike
terror to property owners and worklngmen
who refuse to abide by their dictates."
Tha murder of nonunion men by blowing
lip the Independence station, he charges,
was "perpetrated with tha aid and advice
of federation leaders and by men in their
employ."
The only hope for peace and security of
life and property was "to exterminate tha
federation from the camp."
May Coerce Portland Mine.
Practically all the large mines In this
district, which closed down last Monday
after tha explosion at Independence, are
working today. The Portland mine has not
yet been reopened and the company has not
announced its plans. This is the only
large mine in the district In which union
miners have been employed during the
ten months since the beginning of the
strike. It has been conducted on the open
shop plan and nearly half the force ot iC
men laid off when General Sherman M,
Hell ordered the mine shut down were
nonunion miners. General Bell declares
that no members of the Western Federation
of Miners will be permitted to come In
the camp and that the Portland company
consequently will be forced to full In line
Ith the policy of the other mine owners
to organise to fight the miners' federation.

PRINCETON HAS NEW RULES
Undergraduate Coarse of Study Has
Been Completely Revised by
the Faenlty.
PRINCETON, N. J., June 13. The Prince
ton faculty this afternoon announced a
complete revision of undergraduate courses
or study leading to the bachelors degree,
and the action haa been passed by the
trustees.'
It is the most Important revision of the
Princeton course of study that has been
made since President McCosh reorganized
the course In 1870. Candidates for admis
sion to the bachelor of arts course will
be examined In the following subjects only:
The classics, mathematics, English, one
modern language and history, and candi
dates for the courses of bachelor of science
or bachelor of letters will be examined In
mathematics, elementary physics, Latin,
English history and two modern languages.
There will be a reduction In the num
ber of courses to be taken, each student
taking five instead of seven studies each
term, with a consequent increase In the
amount of time given to each course, In
order to make It more substantial.
Provision Is a'-so made for Insuring co
herency and continuity n the elective
choices without Interfering with the stu
dent's full freedom after tbla essential con
dition for the exercise of freedom haa been
complied with.
Princeton continues to stand for the full
four-year course, consisting solely of lib
eral studies and organized under as many,
and only ax many, bachelors degrees as
represent the leading types of liberal edu
cation. Full recognition is made of the
increasing class of students who come to
college without Greek. Those who come
to Princeton without Greek will be thor
oughly drilled In Latin and will be ex
pected to replace Greek by an additional
amount of mathematics and modern lan
guages. Both the classical and modern
sides are thus organized on equal terms
and without confusion.

i
ST. LOUIS. Jutie 13 A characteristic
letter from Samjpel L. Clemens (Mark
Twain), written pior to his wife's death
was received by President Francis at the
World's fair today. In part, it follows:
Villa Dl Quarto, Flrenze, May 2. 104.
Dear Oovernor Francis: It has been a
dear wish of mine to exhibit myself at the
great fair and get a prize, but circum
stances beyond my control have Interfered
and I must remain In Florence. Although
I have never taken prizes anywhere else,
I used to take them In school In Missouri
half a century ago, and I ought to be sble
to repeat now If I could have a chance.
I used to get the medal for good spelling
every week and I rmild have had the medal
for good conduct If there hadn't been so
much corruption In Missouri In those days;
still, I got it several times by trading med
als and giving boot I am willing to give
boot nof If, however, those days are for
ever gone by, In Missouri, apd perhaps It
Is better so. Nothing ever stays the way it
was In this changeable world.
Although I cannot be at the fair I am
going to be represented there, anyway, by
a portrait of Prof. Oelll. You will find It
excellent. Good Judges say It Is better
than the original. They say It haa all the
merits of the origlital and keeps still, be
sides. It Bounds likf flattery, but It Is Just
true.
I suppose you will yet n prize because you
have created the most prodigious and In
all ways the most wonderful fair the planet
has ever seen. Very woll, you have In
deed earned It; and with It the gratitude
of the state and nation. Sincerely yours,
T MARK TWAIN.
President Francis ftoday received a let
ter from Nicholas M. Butler of Columbia
university at New tftirk, conveying the In
formation that an anonymous donor had
given the unlversltf $0,000 to be applied

on Model street, today, that owing to a
small atendance it had been deemed best
to postpone the meetings until autumn,
when they will be beld In conjunction with
the meetings of the mayors of the different
cities of the country. All speakers and
those who are to present papers were noti
fied of this decision by te'egraph today.

INDICTS MRS. NAN PATTERSON
Grand Jury Finds Tree Bill Aaralnst
Woman Charged with Kill
Is. ar Bookmaker. ...
NEW YORK. June 13. Mrs. Nan Pat
terson, the actress who waa with Caesar
Young, the bookmaker. In a cab on June 4
when he was shot and killed, was today
Indicted for murder In the first degree.
Young, who had been a close friend of
Mrs. Patterson for several years, met ber
by appointment about two hours before
the time set for sail with his wife for
Europe. They had spent most of the pre
vious evening In conference over the im
pending separation and, it is understood,
this farewell meeting had been arranged
for the transfer to Young of certain let
ters In the possession of Mrs. Patterson.
Conflicting stories have been told of the
happenings In the cab and Mrs. Patterson
bos refused to give the details of the
shooting except to say that Young shot
himself and that after the shooting she
had picked up the revolver and placed It in
Young's right-hand pocket. One eye wit
ness has presented hlmselr and his testi
mony was to the effect that Young had
shot himself.
The Indictment shows that the witnesses
who appeared before the grand Jury were:
Dr. Edwin N. Rigglns of the Hudson Street
hospital, Dr. O'Hanlon, coroner's physi
cian; William Luce, "Caesar" Young's
brother-in-law; Patrolman Junior, Captain
Sweeney of the Leonard street station and
Frederick Michaels, a cabman.
The return was made to Judge New
berger today, although the Indictment was
found last week.
The filing of the indictment obviated the
hearing of much evidence at the coroner's
Inquest, which held today. Only a few
witnesses were examined and the Jury
quickly returned a verdict that Young
pame to his death by a bullet wound.
' Mrs. Patterson will be arraigned to plead
before Judge Newberger In the court of
general sessions tomorrow.
Mrs. Patterson was told in the coroner's
court room that she had been Indicted.
For the first time since she recovered from
the first shock of Young's death she showed
emotion, oecomlng hysterical. Her condi
tion bordered on collapse and Coroner Jack
son, who Is a physician, was called to at
tend her. Stimulants were administered
and she became calmer. Dr. Jackson said
the young woman's heart had given way
under the strain she is undergoing, but
that the weakness was only temporary.
J. R. Patterson of Washington, father
of the prisoner; Miss McLaughlin and a
man who hnd declined to give his name
called on Mrs. Falterson at the Tombs to
day. At the end of the Interview Mr.
Patterson said he was surprised that the
grand Jury had Indicted hla daughter. He
said, however, that this only strengthened
his determination to stand by the prisoner
and protect her with every means in his
power.

(Copyright, by New York Herald Co., 1904.)
ST. PETERSBURG. June 13. (New York
Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to
The Bee.) Each day brings a sensational
report. Today it is that four Japanese
Ironclads and two cruisers have been sunk,
and on the Russian side the Retvlfan lost.
Probably, like so many previous ones, the
report Is purely due to imagination. More
serious news Is that regarding the con
tinued efforts of General Kurokl to out
flank General Kouroputkln's right wing,
which Is Interpreted by the military critic
of the Blrsehewya and Vredomostl to In
dicate the Intention of the Japanese to
try to cut off the retreat of the Russian
army to Harbin. With the enemy about
to occupy Kin Kow, the plan of the cam
paign clearly Is to surround the Russian
center at I.lao Yang. The Japanese, how
ever, forget that reinforcements are pour
ing In daily.
All the newspapers feelingly call atten
tion to the chivalry of the Japanese in
burying Russian dead, "numbering 675" at
Nans nan, but the news that 646 Russians
are prisoners at Tokio comes as a bitter
pill.
The Novoe Vremya, after having flumln
ated yesterday about the supposed sale of
the submarine boat Protector to Japan,
today makes the amendment de honorable
and says it was a mistake.
Where Russia Dominates.
(Copyright by New York Herald Co., 1904.)
PARIS. June 14. (New York Herald Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram to The Bee.)
The Herald's European edition publishes
the following from Its military expert:
"It Is interesting to note that the Japa
nese on June t on all the east coast of
Corea only had one troop of infantry, num
bering about 800, who were stationed at
Wonson. This troop does not Include cav
alry or artillery. One may Imagine, there
fore, the excitement of all the Inhabitants
when they learned of the presence In the
neighborhood of numerous Cossacks, hav
ing with them light field pieces and being
followed by infantry.
"On the other hand, the Russians were
able to make certain, by one of their pre
vious raids, that the garrison of Ping Yang
Is very weak and that of Seoul Is not likely
to be very large and all the available forces
of the Japanese have been sent to Man
churia. Under such conditions the Rus
sians are veritable masters of all northeast
Corea, where it is almost certain they will
not be harrassed In their repeated raids.
They are aald to number 4,000 or (.000, a
figure which will enable them to carry out
some bold attacks on the land line of com
munication of General Kuroki's army with
Seoul. This line Is the mandarin road
which passes through Wlju and Ping Yang.
A railway under construction runs parallel
to it and a number of workmen are em
ployed there.
Conditions Mar Change.
"As long as the Japanese can freely use
the sea to carry supplies they need not be
alarmed by attacks made on their land
communications. But if the fortunes of
war should reverse their naval supremacy
or render the opposing fleet about equal,
the question of conveying supplies by land
would again become paramount for the
Japanese, and the role of the Russian
forces In northern Corea would acquire a
much greater Importance.
"These forces at present are only prepar
ing for such an event, but the knowledge
they are daily gaining of the resources,
roads and bypaths of the country, added
to the good understanding they are creat
ing and the wise methods they employ
toward the population, in spite of certain
incidents due to mistakes all these cir
cumstances will result in finding the Rus
sians at a given moment in an exceptionally
favorable position to attack the rear of
General Kuroki's army, if later on it should
be obliged to have its supplies sent by way
of Corea.
A slight advance continues to be noted In
the Japanese outposts which are disputing
the ground with the Russians. A column
which threatened Llao Yang it seems is

ing to turn on the north of Mo Tien pass,
which It is almost impossible to force, if,
as must be supposed, It is thoroughly oc
cupied by Russians.
"But the news, significant as to Its possi
ble consequences, is that which comes from
the Herald correspondent at Mukden, ac
cording to which on June 12 General Kurokl
advanced to the north of Feng Wang
Cheng. This news lacks confirmation, but
It la In any case very probable, as we have
several times pointed out."

formation waa received 1-ere at 10 o'clock
tonight thiough heretofore reliable chan
nels that part of the Japanese force left
at Pu Lan Tien to checkmate the Russians'
southward movement to relieve Port Ar
thur was attacked southeast of tihungnmao
yesterday. After slight fighting the Japa
nese made a false retreat, the Ruslana
hotly following them, when the Japanese
made a flank move, catching the Russians
In a trap. Tho Russian losses are placed
at 800 men. They then fell back on Kol
Chou and began to retreat along the Ral
matgu Tsalchou road.
About 2.000 Russian Infantry from Kal
Chou passed through New Chwang this
morning accompanied by a large supply
and hospital train. Several carts contained
bandaged men. The troops appeared to
be fagged out and showed every indication
of a long, forced march. The offloers re
fused to furnish any information, but a
noncommissioned officer told a correspon
dent of the Associated Press that all the
troops were retreating from Tsalchou.
Pefore he could say anything further he
was reprimanded by a captain, stragglers
are cloeely watched by noncommissioned
officers to prevent them from talking.
The Russians have abandoned the ground
mines eight miles south of here.
A native messenger Just In from the Rus

are many wounded men there.
Forces Russians to Retreat.
TOKIO, June 13. 7 p. m A long report
has been received here from Admiral Togo
in which he covers the operations of the
fleet since June 6 and repeats his former ac
count of the bombardment of the west coast
on the Llao Tung peninsula. Continuing,
the admiral says that the captain of a for
eign vessel that left Yin Kow on Wednes
day, June 8, reports that the recent Japa
nese bombardment in the vicinity of Kal
plng, south of New Chwang, caused Rus
sian . forces to the number of 3,000 with
twenty guns to evacuate Yin Kow.
Two men who were taken prisoners by
the Japanese while on their way into port
report that two Russian reglmeals, num
bering In all about v.000 men,, arrived re
cently at Manchalin, Vafangow and Va
fanglien. The prisoners say aleo that large
numbers of Russian troops are conVng from
Mukden every day.
On Wednesday, June 8, a detachment of
the fleet bombarded and dispersed two com
panies of Russian troops who were on Kal
Ping point. On Friday another detachmeut
of the fleet bombarded the enemy for two
hours near Ylng Chin Tu and Tsan Tla
Kao, inlllctlng much damage upon them.
Another detachment of the Japanese
fioet, according to Admiral Togo's report.
discovered four Russian torpedo boat de
stroyers In Tallenwan bay near Shoaplng
tan and drove them bock to Port Arthur.
Over seventy mines have been destroyed In
Tallenwan bay. Thirty floating mines have
been found and destroyed. Some of these
were drifting Into Pec hill gulf.
In conclusion Admiral Togo says a dense
fog which prevailed for several days finally
cleared away on Sunday. v
JAPANESE MYSTIFY THO RUSSIANS
Experts In Doubt aa to Real Meaalug
of Kuroki's Movements.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 13. The Japa
nese advance of columns north and south
of Feng Wang Cheng la causing consider
able mystification. The preponderance of
military opinion still inclines to the belief
that the movements in both directions are
feints, although the opinion is general that
General Kurokl has began an advance by
both flanks against Liao Yang does not
lack supporters.
Renewed skirmishing is reported In the
neighborhood of Blu Yen, but there is no
confirmation of the engagement reported
by a correspondent of the Associated Press
at Hal Cheng last night as having oc
curred thirty miles south of Ham Chtng, In
tha direction of the Feng Wang Cheng
road, which was reported te have resulted
in the low of two Japaneee battalions.
Should this report turn out to be 'true it
would show that the Japanese are advano
lng toward Hal Cheng by two roads, a the
column reported engaged must have been
different from the one which drove out the
Russians from Blu Yen, on the rood further
south.
Russia Denies Rumors.
Absolute confirmation is not obtainable
of the report that General Kouropatkin Is
dispatching troops from Mukden against
the enemy's right. Extreme reticence la
manifested at the War ollice regarding the
military situation, which is generally In
terpreted as foreshadowing important de
velopments In the Immediate future. While
the Imminence of a decisive battle between
the two main armies is distinctly dis
couraged, news of fighting of a rather
heavy oharacter la anticipated. The lack
of official dispatches from Kouropatkin
during the last forty-eight hours Is regarded
as significant. .
The London Standard's St. Petersburg
dispatch saying that a telegram had been
received from Vice Admiral Skrydloft an
nouncing that he recently left Vladivo
stok with the Russlun squadron and en
gaged a Japanese squadron off Port Ar
thur is denied at the admiralty. No Such
dispatch has been received from Skrydloft,
whose squadron, according to the last ad
vices, is still at Vladivostok and In He
neighboring water. The government has
po advices of renewed fighting before Port
Arthur, but It Is regarded as not unlikely
that fighting of a more or jess serlouM
character off tho Kwan Tung peninsula
may be In progress, although lbs War
office Is eonvlnceo that nu serious assault
on the fortress Is yet possible.
