F. Slagol, alias Robert Romalne, a prisoner in the Shawnee county, Kansas, Jail, has made a confession before the county attorney, giving details of the preparations to blow up the Florence & Cripple Creek railroad depot at Independence, Co.o., and also the plot for the carrying out of the plan to blow up the Vindicator mine. The depot was destroyed by nitroglycerine on June 7, 1904, and thirteen people were blown to pieces, and the Vindicator mine was blown up November 21, 1903. Romaine, m bis confession, said: I left Canon Clfy and went to Cripple Creek on the 5th of October, 1903, and hung around there until along the first part of November and went to work on the Golden Cycle mine under Superintendent Holman. The next night after I went to work I got In with a gang of fellows who asked me to join the union and act as a spy around the Go'.den Cycle and Vindicator mines. They were after Superintendent Holman. I could not find any way to get In there as they wanted and told them so. But a few mine evenings after .the Vindicator was blown up by a dynamite machine furnished by me. About the middle of May I returned to Canon City and got a can of glycerine and COO feet of wire I had hid In there. On the night of June 6 It was planned to blow up the Cripple Creek depot, so the next evening I got the glycerine and wire and with an Iron prong about ten Inches long and about four inches wide at the top with two holes In there far enough apart to catch a pistol hack cf the hammer, so that you could tie a string to the hammer and not Interfere with IL I and another man crept under the platform and fixed things, running the wire to the lielmonleo shaft, 500 feet away.

I did my best to run down and get this thing so it would not go off, and when they saw what I was trying to do one man grabbed me and struck me with his pistol on the eye and again behind the ear, where I have scars now from those blows, and . I was knocked unconscious for a short time. When I came to again everybody In Cripple Creek was around there and there was great excitement Then I got out of the town as quickly as possible. That was the 8th, and on the night of the 9th we all walked down to Colorado Springs, and got there about 6 or 6 oclock the next morning. Tnree of the men bought tickets for Pueblo and I think they went west. On the night of the 9th at 6:30 I took the Santa Fe train for the east. Tho vicinity of Tangier has been disturbed by bandits. considerably A caravan was attacked at a distance of two hours from the town and loot. Including GO00 In money, was secured by tho tribesmen.

The present crisis must have brought him out as never before. The English sometimes date their with pedigrees hack to the conqueror a certain pride. But Mutsuhito-tenwo- , emperor of Japan, is the present representative of the oldest royal dynasty extant. He is the 121st emperor of his dynasty, which dates back in an unbroken line 2,535 years. He is the direct descendant of Ginmu, the divine conqueror, who, according to Japanese mythology, "descended from heaven on the white bird of the clouds." Up to the opening of the present war the Japanese always carried the Oriental notion that their emperor should maintain a certain seclusion appropriate to his position. The fact that he was hardly known personally to his own people made him, however, more free to go among them Incognito, which be Is said to have done extensively. In the emperor's reign the bands of feudalism that bound Japan to the middle ages have been broken. He voluntarily. granted a constitution Literature, science and industry were encouraged. It was only the remarkable advancement in the reign of that made It possible for Oriental Japan to be equal to the task of a possible successful war with Russia. War Is costly, but It often lends the most powerful stimulus to advancement. Japan has made more progress within a few years than other Oriental nations have accomplished in centuries.

It is true that that declaration was formerly, perhaps first, made by Frederick the Great of Prussia, and that from him It was carried to Russia and suggested to the Russian empress by France. But Russia has always had the popular credit of it, and it would seem ungracious to try to rob her of It. Rather Is It profitable to recall that In that famous declaration Russia limited the list of contraband articles to the Items of arms and ammunition and sulphur. Nay. more. The Immediate provocation of act of Russia's was Spain's sc'zure of two Russian vessels laden with foodstuffs! It would he a strange turn about for Russia now to repudiate the principles of her famous declaration of neutral rights and herself to approve and commit the very acts against which It was a protest and a prohibition.
