knife was slashed across his hands, making
serious wounds.
At first It was thought Varley'a skull had
been fractured. '
Per dl carls and Vartey were then carried
away on horseback. They were bound with
ropes and roundabout roads were taken In
order to arold villages. The bandits
stopped at Tsorradent twenty-four hours
from Tangier, and Ralsoult allowed Ferdl

guarded. When the aheereef of Wasan ar
rived a big tent waa placed at the disposal
of the prisoners, and In other wsys ' the
sheereef waa the means of alleviating their
condition to a considerable extent. The at

his Own hands, with tha results already

John Alexander Lowle today attacked tha
character of King tvjward. declared thai
ha loved President Roosevelt and denounced
reporters. He spoke at Carnegie hall in
the morning and In the afternoon, making
two addresses at each session. After much
bitter refeience to. King Edward he said:
'Defender of the faith. Indeed. Two

Devonshire to see some horses and get
points about a coming race. The propher
la a mightier man than tha king, and what
tha prophets said has made his throns

he does a great wrong. I shall not be
afraid to tell him of It, and I believe he Is
too good a man to be afraid to hear of it"
To the reporters h shouted: "But, I
say to each one of you fellows beware,
you will each have to stand before Ood for
your own slna
"Touch not mine annotated, and do my
propheta no harm,", Ood declares; and Ho
will protect His prophets. AU liars hare

You can laugh yourselves Into hell, , but
you cannot laugh yourselves out"
"A Methodist minister once scoffed at me.
and was put out for disturbing a service.
I told him to beware snd my words rang
In hla ears.. Three daya later his body
was found In a pool of water. I cannot tell
how It got there, but I warned him, and I
warn you men, beware. Ood will stop your

I pray Ood to bless you. -
"I have been asked when I will stop

I will keep on licking the little devils. I
would like ta save every one, even the

NEW HAVEN, Conn., June SC-Yaie's
commencement week waa formally opened
today when President Arthur T. Hadiey
delivered the baccalaureate address in Wbol-
sey hall, Yale's magnificent new audi
torium. There are a large number of com
meacement guests here from ail parts of
the country.
President Hadlcy, after reviewing the
tendencies of the times, said thst faith, in
spiration for the better things and en
thusiastic devotion make a nation really
great Ha continued:
If wealth and dominion follow as a result
of faith and enthusiasm, they are good.
But if wealth and uominlon are made a
primary object, and are trusted as a source
of national strength Instead of Its conse
quence of evidence they prove a false re
liance. And it is an unfortunate fact that
very few nations have achieved wealth or
dominion without suffering loss of fulth
and enthusiasm, and remaining with the
empty nusa oi greamess, at the very mo
ment when they deemed themselves most
powerful.
There are two philosophies of life which
are ofternd to us in place of the religion
of our fathers, one which lays stress on
the natural impulses aa superior In au
thority to the dictates of a conventional
morality: the other which looks to en
lightened selllshnees as the means by which
mankind is to be delivered from unenlight
ened restraints of tradition. I believe that
each of these philosophies Is erroneous:
that the one means a reversion toward
savagery, the other a degeneration toward
social weakness. ,
lastlncts of Mankind.
There Is a school of writers like Zola or
D'Annunslo which lays great stress on
what It calls the primal Instincts of man
kind. . These writers think that man re
mains at bottom an animal, moved by ani
mal Impulses and passions; that to feel
these passions strongly is a sign of strength
and that to have them under complete con
trol is an Indication of weakness.
These animal passions have their place
In life. They may often serve as Impulses
to civilization. But this fact does not
one whit abate the necessity that these
things should be controlled by some strong
force residing within the man. which shall
make him ths master of these Impulses,
and not their slave. It is of no purpose
to dignify these passions by tha name of
primal instinct
Our chief danger comes from the other
quarter, from trusting to the work of
reason In places where we are Imperfectly
prepared for its operation. Most of us
are so constituted end trained that the
relaxation of discipline will not leave us at
the mercy of blind passion, but It may
leave us at the rrery of an almost squally
blind spirit of selfish calculation.
After aaylng . that to make human sel
fishness ths fundamental standard of right
conduct Is as disastrous as the attempt to
make our unchecked animal Instincts the
standard of right conduct, he continued:
Two Great Rellartaaa.
Almost ' svery evil. political, social or
commercial, which constitutes a serious
menace to the permanent prosperity of our
country can be traced directly to our toler
ant acceptance of selhatuiaea aa a basis
of morality. ... ... .' --.

that the honor of a gentleman Is not for
sale, the faith of .a Christian something
mora than an empty form of speech. '
Uentlemen of the graduating class: The
really fundamental thing In a man's. life
Is his oholce of a. religion. .Two religions

There Is the religion cf Mammon, whose

tions, except ao far aa. they may be re

vancement, 'mere is tne religion oi uoa.
whose purpose Is service and whose creed
is loyalty to something larger than your
selves.
He closed with' a plea that men - lead

He sadl In part: .......
The fashionable society of our cities Is
a society of the wealthy. . The rich vie

food, drinks, clothes and decorations.. Their
moral standards ars low. Divorce does not
read a rich man or woman out of fashion
able society. They are the degenerates of
the cities. But not all tha wealthy, rush
Into this silly, scramble of vulgarity and
sensuousness. There are many who use
wealth to secure higher Ideals. How other

DEADWOOdJs. D., June tSpeclal.V
Weather conditions in the Black Hills still
militate against fcceiiomical mining opera
tions, and, aa a consequence, several prop
erties xfuh should have been on a pro
ducing basis by the first of next month
have been so retarded tn the work of de
velopment and damnged by the Inflow of
mater that It will be several months before
they can be put tn a condition to produce
ore. This has bean the wettest spring that
the Black Hills have known since 18S3, and
the spring has extended into the summer.
All of last week ft has mined, not a del
uge downpour, but a steady, conatant drlx
lie, which has so saturated the ground that
many underground workings are flooded
and will need to be drained before active
work In them can be reaumed. Roads ars
so heavy In many of the districts that
mines from whloh the ore is hauled, by
wagon to the railroads, while -taking out
good material, have been unable to get It
to a treatment plant and from the1 appear
ance of .things at the present time it will
be a week or mora before they can. Work
on repairs to the pre roads of the North
western aod Burlington is progressing finely
and the chances are that both will again
be delivering ore to the Deadwood treat
ment plants in a sliort time. In fact, tha
repairs to the Northwestern system have
so far advanced that a train was run up
to tha mountains im Sunday and the reg
ular service will be resumed the first of
this week, the officials say.
Safe Investment Extends Tanael.
In the Elk Creek and Box Elder districts,
although wet weather has Interfered to a
considerable extent with mining operations,
still good progress' has been made in de
velopment of several properties and the out
look Is very blight for good results. On
the Safe Investment ground the main work
ing tunnel has beet extended for over 40Q
feet along the course of the vein and ato
ping out ore haa begun. This tunnel Is be
ing enlarged in order to give room for two
tracks, and the old. timbers are being re
placed with new octa. In tha work of talc
ing out the old tirrjbers and enlarging the
tunnel a body of free-milling ore of a good
grade waa broken tjnto, which drifting on
proves to be of large extent and which Is
now receiving development This week the
president of the company and the board of
directors will visit the ground and after an
examination of the situation decide upon
the sixe and -. character of the treatment
plant to be built this fall by tha company;
they will also make arrangements for the
sinking of a f wo-compartment shaft at tha
mouth of the tunnel for the purpose of de
veloping the mine at depth. This shaft
will be aunk to a depth of 500 feet and sta
tions will be established at every 100 feet
and drifts run to tha vein, and crosscut ting
on ' the ore body started. Although , the
property Is already In a. nigh state of de
velopment the management believes that a
little more. work will not hurt the ground
and will endeavor to have it In such ahapa
that when the mill la built there wlU be
plenty ot pre always accessible.'.
Lnekx- JMrtk Stilt Mnklaar.
On tha Lucky Stnxa ground In tha same
district tha maln.working shaft haa reacbeoT
a depth of 10, feet At ths 100-foot leva!
a drift waa run on the vain for seventy
five feet to tha west and the ore sUll re
tained its high values; In the east drift
several small veins of ore were cut . Sink
ing haa been resumed, and when the 200
foot level has been reached drifting . both
waya on tha vein will begin; the shaft
wilt then be continued to ths 300-foot level,
and should tha character of the .ore not
change at that depth a sixty-ton mill, will
be erected on the ground thla fall. The
new plant will also inoluds a cyanide an
nex, as well as concentrating tables, and
will be complete In every detail. Tha ore.
so far vat it has been tested, will average
about S10 a ton. At the last meeting of
the company, which was hald In Deadwood
few days ago, A. L. Harris of Reeds-
burg, one of the contractors on .he Pan
ama canal, was elected president of tha
company. Tha new machinery, consisting
of a well-equipped i hoist, air compressor
and power drills, has been aet up and is
now In operation.
To the south of and adjoining the Lucky
Strike . property Is located the Diamond
group of claims, and last weeka deal was
aiade by which this property passed, from
the hands of Its original owners Into tha
possession of a number of Ohio gentlemen,
the consideration- being 125,000. In thla
group of mines .there are 190 aorea ot ground
and almost all of the clalma, have received
considerable development, the showing of
ore being good, the same veins runnlrtg
through It thst have already been ex
posed on tha Lucky 8tiike.. The ground
la well timbered and with it' was transferred
a water right which will suffice for all the
needa of tha new company In its of era
tlons. 'At Benchmark, work on the Peterson
ground haa been continued with good re
sults, and the ore. while not so rich aa
that found when attention was first at
tracted to the property, ta 1 still of ex
cellent grade, and much better than tha
average freemUUng propositions., Other
people working In thla vicinity have good
prospects, and should the weather change
for the better splendid reaulta may be
looked for. ' At the Clover Leaf, water has
made It difficult to carry on work" for a
time, but the pumpe . have about got It
under control and the mill la running reg
ularly and will make a ntca clean up for
the last half of tha month. Groahen
Brothers, who have a group of promising
clalma on tha divide between Elk and Box
Elder, are making a good ahowing In their
developments, uncovering -soma very rich
ore.
Benchmark Ora ot Hlarh Grade.
Douglas, Lacey it Co. of New York have
purchased what Is known as the Billings
property, consisting1 of seventy acres lo
cated between Gold Run and Deadwood
creeks, near Lead, and will develop tha
ground, having organised what la known
as the HomeBtake Extension Mining com
pany for that purpose. It is not stated
what the price paid for the ground was,
but as It is located In a good situation, ad
joining the big Belt companies, the sum
must have been large. . The last payment on
the ground was made last week and the
new owners will at once begin operations,
instal machinery and develop the property
thoroughly.
Since the advent of high water there has
been much placer mining going on In Dead
wood and tributary gulches, the water hav
ing scored the creek beds tn many plaoea
almost to bedrock, making the work of
opening up ground easy and comparatively
inexpensive. Many men who have set up
a string of sluice-boxes In the creek bed
have been making good wages and better
for the lust two or three weeks, and whlls
much of tha ground thst Is being worked
haa been zona over several times, there Is
still pay in it. On lower Whltewood men
who are working the placera and the high
bars are doing well and placer gold will be
an Item in thia year'a production of that
metal, in fact. It will cut a bigger flg

I.OOMI9 HAS HOT BEE!l HEARD FROM
Authorities Still Hope That He Will
Turn I'p Alive.
PARIS, Juns X-Not a word waa re
ceived today regarding the whereabouts of
Kent J. Loomla, brother of Francis B.
Loomis, American assistant secretary of
state, who disappeared shortly before or
after the arrival of the North German
Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wllhelm II at Plym
outh June 20. (
Although midnight tonight marks' a week
since the disappearance of Mr. Loomis,
the officials still cling to the belief that he
will turn up when the effects of his ab
straction have worn off. Their belief Is
due to a careful deduction from tbs series
of circumstances related by W. J. Ellis,
his companion on board the steamer, snd
by Gustave Flamm of San Francisco, who
was a fellow passenger. This process of
deduction practically excludes the likeli
hood that Loomis fell overboard. It leads
to the acceptance of Flamm's statement
that he saw Loomis get oft at Plymouth.
Accordingly a minutely circumstantial
description of Loomla hsa been forwsrded
to Joseph Stephens, American consul at
Plymouth. Although thus satisfied that
Loomis waa not lost from ths Kaiser Wll
helm II, the officials forsee the possibility
that some harm may have befallen blm
after he landed at Plymouth. However,
they consider this possibility rather remote.
Nevertheless, tlve complete absence ' of
clews after a week of continued effort to
find Mr. Loomis makes tha caae one of In
creasing mystery.

ASSASSINATION OF , . BOBRIKOFF
Responsibility for Murder Will Not Be
i Placed en Flnlaad.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 26. The Asso
ciated Press is able to announce on the
authority of M. Plehve, minister of the
interior, that there is no intention on the
part of the . Russian government to place
upon the Finnish people the responsibility
for the assassination of Governor General
Bobrikoft by Eugene Bchaumann. The
minister believes that the crisis in the re
lations of Finland and Russia has been
passed . and that the grand duchy will
recognize that Its Interests and those of
Russia . mutually demand closer , ties. , .
. It la. as far frmo .Russia's wish as tt
would "be contrary to her Interests, the
minister says, to destroy Finland, which
has a history and traditions of Its own.
All that Russia wants la ths recognition
in Finland of Russia's supremacy.
The new governor general haa not yet
been named by the emperor, but when he
assumes his position it will be his first
duty to consider as to the advlsiblllty of
reassembling the diet There Is reason to
believe that Minister Plehve la considering
further measures,, but their character has
not yet developed.

TOKIO, June 26. The failure of the Rus

Japanese prisoners of war lh their posses
sion la arousing a strong feeling of re
sentment here. Japan's attitude concern
Russian prisoners is moat correct. Careful
reports of the condition I of Russian pris
oners are preparsd and forwarded weekly
to the Russians -through ths American gov
ernment. The ease of Major Togo Is at
tracting special attention, as the Japanese
claim he was captured before the out
break of hostilities and hurried to Moscow.
Numerous efforts "have been made regard
ing Togq, but so fsr they have failed.
' The . Japanese ate extremely solicitous
concerning their countrymen who are con
fined In Russia. . They fear that they will
ba placed In prisons . and . there badly
treated. .
It Is probable that tha American govern
ment will ba asksd to make pointed in
quiries .of St. Petersburg concerning the
present condition ot Japanese prisoners
and to arrange a system of regular re
ports, ,
