GREAT MAN OlE
DEATH WINS THE STRUGGLE AT
HATFIELD HOUSE
LORD SALISBURYJS HO MORE
End Comes Peacefully to Former
British PremierUnconscious to
the Last Members of Family Gath
ered at Hatfield House
LONDON Lord Salisbury died
T
peaceully at 905 Saturday night
During the past forty eight hours the
end was seen to he inevitable the
great frame of Englands ex premier
being sustained only by the constant
use of oxygen which at last became
Ineffectual
The village of Hatfield which still
retains many features of the feudal
period was filled with anxious resi
dents awaiting ine news of his lord
ships demise The great Hatfield
bouse bidden behind the screen of
pine trees was lighted at every win
dow and gave no sign of the ap
proaching fatality Groups of watch
ers clustered under the Elzabethan
arch and of the lodge gates anxious
ly questioning each latest passer
from Hatfield house
Finally the news came when a bat
less servant rushed down the grav
eled roadway saying as he passed
He has gone and then disappeared
in the church Soon thereafter the
bell from the tower above tolled slow
ly and the villagers at the street cor
ners uncovered in acknowledgement
of the massing of their neighbor and
friend Englands great statesman
Viscount Crauborne who now as
sumes the title of marquis of Salis
bury immediately notified King Ed
ward and Queen Alexandra the
Prince and Princess of Wales and
others Including Lord Edward Cecil
the soldier son of Lord Salisbury
who is now in Egypt and whose was
the only child of the marquis absent
from the deathbed Soon messages
of condolence began coming in and
the little telegraph office at Hatfield
was swamped with unprecedented
busness
The death of Lord Salisbury oc
curred on the fifteenth anniversary
ol his entry into a public life as a
member of the house of commons for
Stamford
When death became imminent the
attending physician summoned the
waiting members of the family who
gathered at the bedside and took fare
well of the dying man who however
was jjneonscious of their presence
Tt is understood that Lord Salis
bury recently expressed a wish to be
buried beside his wife at Hatfield
A proposal will undoubtedly be made
to bury him at Westminster abbey
but this will be declined by the rela
tives in accordance with Iris lord
ships wishes

YACHTS SAIL IN VAIN

crowds of sightseers and yachtsmen
that ever sailed down Sandy Hook to
witness- a battle for the yachting su
premacy of the world returned to
New York Thursday night disappoint
ed because the wind failed leaving the
yachts disabled - Nevertheless the
crowd- was jubilant in the conviction
that Sir Thomas latest challenger
like the two which had preceded it
was doomed to return to England
empty handed
The first race for Americas- cup
was declared off at the turn when Re
liance was sixteen minutes in the lead
having gained that much in a fifteen
mile drift Of course the race was
not absolutely conclusive owing to the
light and shifting character- Ot the air
but in a fifteen mile beat to windward
a portion of which was sailed in a
driving rain Reliance showed its
heels to Shamrock III in commanding
style and that too under weather
conditions supposed to be to the par
ticular liking of the challenger Fifes
latest creation has been heralded as
a wonder in lisht breeze3 in windward
work especially with a jumpy sea on
while Reliance in its trials had done
its best reaching and running in a

breeze varying from one to twelve
knots and against a long ground

slaughtered the entire Christian popu

STRENGTHENS CHAMBERLAIN
Death of Salisbury Contributes to Tar-
iff Policy
PARIS The death of Lord Salis
bury made considerable impression
here Although the late statesman
had retired from politics the feeling
prevails here that his disappearance
will contribute to strengthen the po
sition of Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain which circumstance is not
thought likely to promate friend
ship between the two countries
The ability prudence and moderation
of the former premier are frankly
recognized though some of his sar
castic utterances are recalled It is
acknowledged that while he firmly up
held Great Britains interests at the
same time he always strove to pre
vent a rupture with France and it is
admitted that the Fashoda incident
would have been far more dangerous
had an other statesman been in pow

THAT CANAL PACT
fct Is Rejected by ths Senate of
Colombia
WASHINGTON A cable dated
August 12 has been received at the
State deiartment from Minister Beu
pre at Bogota saying the Panama
canal treaty has been rejected by the
Colombian senate
President Roosevelt was immediate
ly advised of the news Mr Beaupres
telegram beiug forwarded to Oystei
Bay
Little additional information con
cerning the action of the Colombian
senate could be obtained at the State
department and Mr Adee acting sec
cretary would not indicate what
course the government was likely to
pursue
It will be impossible for President
Marroquin to again submit the treaty
to the Colombian congress in its pres
ent form as the senate having re
jected it cannot again come before
that body except by Its own vote
President Morroquin however can re
submit the treaty with slight amend
ments to the senate and thus reopen
the canal debate It is believed at
the Colombian legation that President
Marroquin will adopt some such
course
Dr Herran the Colombian charge
daffaires has received an official ca
ble from the Colombian secretary of
state dated August 13 containing the
brief announcement of the senates
rejection of the treaty on the day pre
vious
The reason given for the rejection
of the treaty was the alleged encroach
ment on Colombians sovereignty
which it was contended would result
from the treaty This information
was contained in a dispatch received
by Dr Herran the Colombian charge
from Foreign Minister Ricos at Bo
gota
The view taken by the senate was
at variance to that held by the gov
ernment of Colombia which felt sat
isfied when it submitted the treaty
that there would be no loss of Colom
bias sovereignty if the treaty was rat
ified
Incidental to the general question
of sovereignty was that of the lease
of the strip of land through which the
canal was to be constructed and the
debate in the senate indicated that
this was regarded as paramount to a
sale of the land and therefore objec
tionable When the treaty was sub
mitted to the senate by the commit
tee to which it had been referred
seven of the senators favored it with
certain amendments
COLON Colombia The rejection of
the canal treaty by the Colombian
senate has produced a tremendous
sensation on the isthmus It was gen
erally believed the treaty would pass
with some modifications There is
reason to suppose the majority of the
members of the senate regard the
Sjiooner amendment to build a canal
by the Nicaraguan route if the Pan
ama route was rejected as a mere
threat on the part of the United
States They are convinced that the
Nicaraguan project is imposssible and
that the Unitel States will again deal
with Colombia
Russian Demands Presented
CONSTANTINOPLE The Russian
demands on Turkey growing out of thc
recent murder of the Russian consul
at Monastir M Rostkovsiti were for
mally presented at the Yildiz palace
yesterday Notwithstanding the warn
ing which Russia addressed to the Bul
garian government it is generally be
lieved here that the Russian naval
demonstration in Turkish waters will
dangerously encourage the Macedoni
ans who it is asserted will interpret
Russias action as being the first step
towards intervention in their behalf
More Rioting in Crotia

SOUTTI OMAHA
CATTLE There was rather a light rur
of cattle and the general market could
bo quoted fairly active and steady to
strong on all desirable grades of killers
There were only a few cars of corn fed
cattle on sale and the steers commanded
steady to strong prices As high as 553C
was paid The better grades were all In
good demand and could be quoted strong
and even the less desirable kinds sold
at fully steady prices The cow market
did not show much change Buyers took
hold fairly well and everything was dis
posed of at just about stcaUy prices The
prices paid looked about steady with the
close of last week the decline of the early
part of the week having been regained
But for the late arrivals an early clear
ance would have ben made Bulls veal
calves and stags have been selling in just
about the same notches all the week
There were practically no stock cattle
on sale at the opening of the market
but several cars came In late Western
grass beef steers were very scarce but
in view of the limited supply of corn
feds the market could safely be quoted
strong on anything at all desirable The
market for the week Is also a little
stronger Range cows sold about steady
and stock cattle were certainly no more
than steady
HOGS There was a small run of hogs
and as the local as well as the shipping
demand was In good shape the market
opened fully a nickel higher The ad
vance applies to both light and heavy
weights The heavy hogs sold largely
from J510 to 320 medium weights from
520 to 530 and light from 535 to 550
The top price was paid for a very fancy
load and while they sold 10c higher than
yesterdays top they were better than
anything offered on yesterdays market
Trading was not very brisk today as
packers slow to pay the advance
but still the bulk was disposed of in
farily good season

GET EVEN WITH CRITIC
How Richard Wagner Disconcerted
Presumptuous Writer
When Mascagni was in San Fran-
cisco recently one of his accomplish
ments which most attracted attention
was his ability to conduct almost en
tirely without a score Richard Wag
ner in the 50s was once severely criti
cised in London for this very thing
He was conducting the Philharmonic
concerts in the British metropolis for
a season and being a very ardent ad
mirer cf Beethoven and in fact know
ing that masters nine symphonies by
heart he selected several of them for
performance in the series of concerts
After the first performance one of the
prominent newspapers scolded the au
thor of Lohengrin for directing a
symphony by the immortal Beethoven
without the score in front of him Ac
cordingly at the next concert young
Wagner had a book of music open be
fore him on his desk The next day
a commendatory article appeared in
the aforesaid newspaper which praised
him for a very much better interpre
tation of Beethoven than his last
due of course to the use of the score
Whereupon Wagner secured his re
venge on his presumptuous critic by
announcing the fact that the score in
front of him the previous eveningwas
that of Rossinis opera The Barber
of Seville turned upside down -

Blossom bloom and blue above
Where the bees were making honey
And the birds were making love
There was no one to discover
None to listen none to spy

You and I
I remember still the look you
Gave me in that bower of bliss
When within my arms I took you
For a first and sweetest kiss
What a dream and what a theme to
Make a song of I recall
Now the fact you didnt seem to
Mind at all
When I think how very sweet it
Was to kiss you Sweetheart so
How my heart longs to repeat it
While again the blossoms blow
If your heart is also tortured
By the same dear Iongin then
Come with me and in the orchard
Kiss again
