The Valentine Democrat Valentine , Neb. I. M. Rice. Publisher 10SING- ELECTIONS CZAR , OPPOSITIOX ALMOST . CER- TAIX TO WIX IX RUSSIA. Indications Arc that Extreme Radicals Will Be in Control of Xcw Parlia ment and tliat Dissolution Will Xot Be Long Delayed. Elections were held Saturday in nine large cities ( Moscow , Odessa , Ti- flis , Kazan , Vilna , Yekaterinosalv , As trakhan , Kishinef and Yarastav ) of the twenty-four which send members direct to parliament , Moscow having lour members and the other cities one each. In accordance with Russian ideas the counting of the vojes was postponed until Monday , and definite results of the elections are unknown , but the indications everywhere are a victory for the opposition. In several cities , notably Moscow , the question Is whether the election has been car ried by the constitutional democrats or the socialists. The chances of the socialists in Mos cow are favored by the results of the workmen's elections , in which nine teen social democrats were chosen. Elections of peasants , land owners and workmen were also held Sunday In several provinces , but no results have been received as yet. The Regg. the constitutional democratic organ claims 105 seats in European Russia. , not counting four in Rostov-on-Don city. seml-Patiniski , Turgini and As trakhan. In spite of the evident opposition character of parliament Premier Stol- ypin is quoted as saying that he hopes to nurse it along until summer before a dissolution is necessary , but the gen eral opinion is that the constitutional democrats will be unable to hold their radical colleagues in check and that the new parliament's life will not ex ceed two months. The expectation that the dissolution of parliament would be followed by a change in election laws is denied by Premier Stolypin , who says he believes this would be unconstitutional. GERMANY" THREATENS HAYTI. firavc Complications Arise Over : i Financial Transaction. ' Relations between the governments of Hayti and Germany are strained owing to the refusal of the German - bankers , Hermann & Co. , by direction of the court at Port au Prince to re turn to the Haytian government large sums of money alleged to have been M. obtained fraudulently. Among the al leged transactions of Hermann & Co. was one said to have proved favorable to the government. This was conclud- sd by the Haytian minister of finance , the German legation' demanded that this transaction , as well as others , bo annulled , but the Haytian government In terms that the German minister deemed offensive refused to acquiesce. The German minister at the same time 3emanded the withdrawal of the phrase objeceted to. This was also refused. Fears are entertained here of grave complications ensuing. The Official Monitor recently pub lished notice of the expulsion of Mr. Mansour , an American citizen , but Mr. Furniss , the American minister , believing the call for the man's expul sion unjustified , asked for the with drawal of the order. This , however , was refused and Mansour has left for New York. The seal of the American legation has been placed on his shop. SOUTHERN WOMEN" PROTEST. Denounce Publication of Details of Thaw Trial.

A terrific explosion Sunday wrecked the chemical research department of the "Woolwich arsenal at London. It Is 7 > elfeved no lives SLAIN BY INFERNAL MACHINE. Paterson Justice of the Peace Is the Victim. Justice of the Peace Robert Cortese tvas fearfully mangled in his office Friday by the explosion of an Infernal machine sent him by express. The office was wrecked and the detonation could bo heard for blocks. The judge had actively aided the po lice in the capture of Italian law breakers recently. Justice Cortese died at midnight from his injuries. He had been home * to supper that evening , leaving his sou Robert in charge of the office. It was the younger man who received the in fernal machine , which came from Newark and was delivered by an American express wagon. It had been prepaid and the boy accepted It. When Judge Cortese reached the office Rob ert handed the package to him. The outside wrapper was of paper tied with strong twine. Judge Cortese re moved this paper. Inside was another wrapper made fast with a strap such as boys use to put around school book < = . , Robert says he watched curiously to see what the little box contained. His father rested the package on the desk and pulled the end of the strap around toward him so as to loosen en the tongue of the buckle. The mo ment he did so there was an explosion. A hole six feet square was torn in the floor , and the desk was driven down into the cellar and torn to pieces. The boy was hurled into a corner and se riously bruised and burned. Judge Cortese was found lying be tween the doorway and the hole in the flooring. Both legs and both arms were broken , his face and body were lacerated and torn and his back ap parently broken. Some of the flesh was torn from the bones. He was removed to St. Joseph's hosuital , where his an- te-mortem statement was secured. CALLS IT A "WICKED SCARE. " British Paper's View of the Japanese War Talk. The London Tribune publishes an editorial article on what it calls the " " words that "wicked scare" reports , President Roosevelt is said to have used about the Japanese situation. The paper declares that such wild talk nev er will be credited by the responsible opinion in Englnad , "and the denial of the president given by our Washing ton correspondent disposes absolutely of these mischievous and unintelligent rumors. "No man could have argued more eloquently or acted more resolutely than the president to insure that re spect for Japanese immigrants to which their treaties entitle them. His tory shows that it is not an easy thing for a republic to coerce a defiant state , but America's power to make its own pledges respected and , above all , President Roosevelt's reputation as T man of his word are at stake in this question , and the president is not th < > man to hesitate. " INSANITY MAY BE DEFENSE. Likely to Be Plea of Miss Xcxvton's Slayer. It seems probable that Frank Prink's defense for the shooting of Miss Bessie Newton at Ponca , Neb. , will be insanity. Already his friends are telling how he was roused to un controllable jealousy and anger by Miss Newton's actions and words. It is being told that Frink does not yet realize that the girl is dead. He Is said to have remarked to his nurse that he would like to have the girl call and see him. He is still in the office of Dr. Young , where he is recovering from the effects of the self-inflicted bullet wounds. The coroner's jury Thursday evening returned a verdict to the effect that Miss Newton came to her death by a pistol shot from the hands of Frink , to the best of our knowledge and be lief.

DEAD MAX AT THROTTLE. Train Runs Through Philadelphia * i ! High Speed. The congressional limited train on the Pennsylvania railroad ran through Philadelphia Wednesday night at ter rific speed with the engineer , Joseph Toms , dead at the throttle. The train makes two stops in that city , one at West Philadelphia and thf other at North Philadelphia. Shortly after leaving West Philadelphia th fireman , Harry Michner , noticed the speed was unusual. The train swayed as it rounded curves , but the engineer gave no signals.

United States Pressing for Settlement of School Lvsue. Wearied with the delays so charac teristic of Turkish officialdom , the American ambassador raised into prominence the question of recognition of American schools , urging the neces sity of prompt settlement of the ques tion. The ministers thus ignored have been stirred into unwonted activity and the departments concerned , ucc- ing , it is understood , from orders of the sultan , have entered into negotia tions with the embassy. The embassy is pressing matters hard with the hope of a final adjustment , and the frequent exchange of written communication" as well as visits between officials of the porte and the embassy are expected soon to lead to satisfactory results. The question Avas settled in principle nearly three years ago , but the ob- structiveness and dilatoriness both ut the palace and on the part of the porte delayed the official ratification of the agreement arriA-ed at.

A coroner'c jury has began an in quest into the murder of Miss Bessie Newton at Ponca by her sweetheart , Frank Frink , but did not reach a ver dict. The jurors are Pearl Barker , Eli Heidy , Charles Eyhler , Frank Munson , Patrick McCabe and W. N. White. Previous to the opening of the in quest the coroner , Dr. J. O. Jolley , of Dixon , assisted by Dr. O'Connell , of Ponca , conducted an examination which brought out some interesting circumstances in regard to the shoot ing. The young woman was lying on a couch when Frink began firing. The first bullet missed her prostrate form and lodged in the couch. The second hit her in the shoulder. It is presum ed that she then jumped up from the lounge. The third bullet pierced her heart. She staggered through the room out of the front door and fell lifeless in the front yard. Edward O'Donnell , of Kumboldt , la. , who was to have married Miss Newton , arrived at Ponca Wednesday and is completely prostrated over the tragic end of his fiancee. His first knowledge of the murder was gained from a newspaper while on his way. Frink has recovered consciousness , and the attending physician states that he Avill likely recover unless unlocked for complications develop. Frink. who is being closely guarded by the sher iff , is still very weak from loss of blood , and has made no statement re garding his terrible crime. Frink fire.l three bullets in his deseparte attempt to end his own life. One bullet struck a pocketbook which he carried in a pocket over his heart , and was de flected , causing a slight fish wound. Another ball entered his breast and caused a serious wound , and the third entered his head near his ear , followed the cheek bone and came out in his nose. The breast wound is the most dangerous , and the bullet has not t been located. TIUXKS THE XEGRO GUII/I'V. Lincoln Police May Have Assailant of Young ; Telephone Operator. Myrtle Furlong , the 16-year-old tel ephone girl who was assaulted by a negro recently at Lincoln , has partial ly identified one man out of a bunch of fifteen arrested as supects and the police are of the opinion he is the guilty party , though until the brute is positively identified , the police will say nothing as to whether he is the iMght man , for there is strong talk of a lynching. Miss Furlong was accosted on Four teenth street between S and R streets , as she was on her way home from work , a little after 10 o'clock. Tlv ; girl put up a stubborn fight , but was overpowered by the negro , who stuffed a handkerchief in her mouth , and as saulted her. The girl made her way to the home of Dr. Morelock , who noti fied the police. Dr. Morelock said the girl's condition was serious and that ! she had been badly in'Jfred. Though only 16 years old , Miss Furlong is good sized and as the negro was small , it took him some time to overpower her.

His widow and children are now searching for the hidden treasure. Mr. Roche never trusted the banks. When he made a sale of real estate he had the currency changed into gold and hid it somewhere nobody knows where. He told his wife a couple of weeks before he died that he intended to tell her before his life ended where the money could be found. He walked out of doors on a warm afternoon and re turned to be stricken. He was speech less. Part of his side was paralyzed. He was unable to convey , either by voice or written word , the hiding place \ of the money. And so he died without telling where it could be found. CALLAWAY HAS A BAD FIRE.

Havoc Wrouuht in Western Nebraska by Recent Severe Weather. Cattlemen in th sand hill country of northwestern Nebraska , where live stock is the chief industry , say that heavy losses have been suffered be cause of the long continued severe weather. Beginning as early as Octo ber it was necessary to feed hay , the ranges being covered. A little later a heavy sleet storm covered the range grass , and with the snow that followed all kinds of stock have suffered severe ly from cold and hunger. Reports from the Billings country in Montana , one of the centers of the sheep indus try , are to the effect that some sheep men have lost 80 per cent of their flocks. In a number of cases this means ruin for several of the flock masters. Fell Under Cow.
