According to the Minister of Trade
and Common s of Canada, the sum of
$580,549 was paid out in bounties on
pig iron and steel ingots during the
year ended June 30, 1904. This was
#521,255 less than in the preceding
year.
The Italian minis try of posts and
telegraphs has received authority
from the parliament to establish tele
phonic connections between Brescia
and Bergamo; Lecco and Bergamo;
Cremona and Piacenza; Genoa, Pisa
and Leghorn; Naples, Foggia and Mar
ietta; Naples, Keggio, Calabria and
Messina.
The Japanese have a race of silk
worms to which they apply a name
the eqm.ilent of"the beggar." These
worms fee 1 greedily upon withered or
otherwise spoiled leaves, which one
of the se'.t respecting race of silk
worms wouitl.i't touch. Yet their
larvae remains as vigorous as those
of the more fastidious races.
The international road over the
Grand St. Bernard Pass was opened
on August 25, 1904. For the first time,
on that day a carriage starting from
the Hotel du Mont Blanc, in Martigny,
Canton of Valais, Switzerland, for
Aosta, Italy. Italy has been some 12
years building this road, which marks
the route followed by Napoleon in
1800.
Only the very rich have fences
around their farms in Japan. The
Japanese do not like to spare the
square feet, a fence would take up.
If a border around a field is neces
sary, it is made of mulberry trees, the
leaves of which are good for silk
worms. It is said that 190,000 acres
that would otherwise be taken up
with fences are thus used.
It is estimated that 5,000 cases of
preventable typhoid fever have oc
curred in Philadelphia within a year,
10 per cent of which resulted in
death. By figuring the money value of
nach life lost at SI,OOO and computing
ihe expenses and loss of time it is
found that the total charge against
This disease in this one city for the
period of a year is over $1,550,000.
An expert statistician figures that
thero are to-day some 5,000,000 of
adult males that is, one out of every
three, in this country who carry life
insurance, outside of the fraternal or
ders and the like. There were, at the
end of la.st year, nearly 19,000,000 poli
cies in force. There are only a little
more than twice as many adult males
today as there were 40 years ago.
In spite of tho fact that man is not
an instinctive swimmer, as is the case
with most of the lower animals, he
excels all of the latter in eqtiatic en
durance. It is reported that, in at
tempting to swim the English chan
nel recently, a man covered 30 miles
before he succumbed to exhaustion.
The only land animals that are known
to be able to approximate such a feat
are the bear, horse and deer.
Most of our maps of Asia are drawn
to a small scale, and, on such maps,
the Japanese archipelago fills little
space. But she is larger than England
and more populous. She has 6,000,-
000 more people than France. Sho
went six armies over sea within six
months, every one of which was :is
big as either army that met at Wa
terloo. She has sent to Manchuria
twice as many soldiers in six months
as England sent to South Africa iu
two years.
The heavy falling-off in exports of
wheat from the United States since
the 1903 harvest has probably been
the most unexpected and surprising
occurrence of equal importance in tho
foreign grain trade of the United
States in many years. And there
have been few years, if any, when
such an unanticipated shortage of
American wheat in the world's mar
kets would not have produced serious
results. The United Kingdom, as i.j
well known, is the heaviest importer
of wheat and flour in the world.
Abyssinia is being provided with the
telephone—another advance, surely, of
civilization. Nearly 800 miles of wire
have been put up, and 1,000 more are
in process of construction. It would
seem, however, that the contractor who
is doing the work for the Abyssinian
government has had to encounter un
usual difficulties. Tropical rains wash
out tho poles, white ants eat away the
parts in the ground, and when iron
poles are substituted for wood the na
tives steal them to make tools of.
Monkeys find the wire delightful
swings.

NEGRO AND DEMOCRATS.
Policy of Dealing with Colored Voters
Which Will Never Accom
plish Anything.
The democratic campaign this year
is full of inconsistencies and contradic
tions. The candidate for president is
a tariff reformer of advanced ideas; the
candidate for vice president is a tariff
beneficiary and would deal with the
tariff with tender gentleness. The dem
ocrats criticise the present administra
tion for not having done more to regu
late and curb trusts. While the Wall
street interests, represented by Bel
mont, are active in Mr. Parker's sup
port. Mr. Parker, who voted twice for
Mr. Bryan on a free silver platform,
has declared strongly for the gold
standard, and Mr. Bryan, who has not
changed his views on the money ques
tion, is .supporting him, says the in
dependent Indianapolis News.
And Mr. Ilornaday, in his letter from
Baltimore, pointed out another curious
contradiction in democratic methods.
Maryland is one of the states the dem
ocrats must carry. In that state for
many years Senator Gorman has been
the democratic boss. But there has
been a growth of republican sentiment
in the state, and in order to strengthen
the hold of the democrats, laws have
been passed practically disfranchising
a large proportion of the negroes. The
laws have been made different for dif
ferent parts of the state, so as still
more to confuse the negro voter. Fur
ther, a "Jim Crow" law has been
passed, affecting railway travel. More
over, as our correspondent reports,
there are evidences of an effort to stir
up rare feeling, in the hope of winning
white votes against the party that be
lieves in fair play for the negro.
That is the policy of dealing with the
negro in the state of Maryland, where
Gorman is the controlling force in
democratic politics. But at the same
time the democratic managers at na
tional headquarters, of whom Mr. Gor
man is one, are putting forth unusual
efforts to win negro votes in the doubt
ful northern states. A special bureau
for propagandist work among the ne
groes has been established in New
York, though not in Immediate connec
tion with national headquarters, and
emissaries are being sent to various
states in the hope of winning negro
votes for Parker. Indiana is one of
the states where It is hoped to "in
fluence" negroes to turn away from
Roosevelt. It is even hinted that the
appearance of George L. Knox ns an
indpendent candidate for congress in
this district may possible be traced to
the activity of the negro democratic
bureau.
It is perfectly proper, of course, for
the democratic managers to seek in all
legitimate ways to win negroes to their
party. But we do not believe that, they
can influence any considerable number
of them in northern states, while in the
south they are denying them all polit
ical rights. So long as negroes in most
of the southern states cannot vote at.
; all because of laws made by democrats
it is absurd to suppose that many ne
groes In the north are going to vote
for a democratic candidate for presi
dent, or a democratic or "independent"
\ candidate for congress.—lndianapolis
i News (Ind.).
a few weeks ago, or, to be ex
act, at the democratic national conven
tion, we heard much of the "passing of

' line that appears to equal Bryan in ac
tivity is the Mad Mullah. —Indianapolis

HIS UNIFORM A DISCRACE?
Fanatical Attacks Upon Roosevelt
Because of Spanish War
Record.
By the eastern papers Roosevelt con
tinues to be held up to ridicule, contempt,
abuse, scorn, and laughter in the uniform
of an American soldier, as if apparently
that garb were the very livery of the
devil, says the Chicago Tribune.
That Roosevelt should be held in dis
estcem simply because he went to the
front in the Spanish war is the result
of a peculiar psychological process
which came about thus:
The "anti-imperialists" of the Atlantic
coast are rabid in their earnestness.
They feel that the acquisition of the
Philippines and Porto Rico was the great
American crime of last century. The
Spanish war brought the Philippines
and Porto Rico under our flag. The Span
ish war. therefore, was an unspeakable
crime. Naturally, if not logically, go
ing a step further, everybody who went
to the Spanish war was a criminal.
Roosevelt went to the Spanish war. He
was a criminal, and his uniform is as
disgraceful to him as the stripes to a
convict.
It has been mental processes such as
these which have fostered in the minds
of the eastern editors the delusion that
Roosevelt, can be successfully damned
by picturing him in an American uni
form. And the eastern editors have
been subject to such mental processes
because they do too much cloister work.
They go into their editorial sanctums,
lock the door, and think out the prob
lems of the universe. They do not get
into touch with the crowds in the streets.
They do not understand the common
people. Perhaps the editors are far
ahead of their times. Or perhaps they
are off on a sidetrack.or in a back water.
Wherever they are, they are not with
their times, and they do not influence
current thought.
A future age may call them seers, but
this age calls them cranks.
If these editors would come down off
Mount Sinai they would possess more
common sense and more influence. They
would cease to he merely the Brahmins
of a small, self-centered, and intensely
self-satisfied intellectual caste. They
would get into the current of to-day's
life. That would be good for them —
and would not hurt the country, appre
ciably.

TO QUIET FEARS IN PARM,
SECRETARYTAFTIS ORDERED TO
GO TO THE ISTHMUS.
The Secretary of War Has Been Dele
gated to Assure the Panama Gov
ernment of the Good Inten
tions of the United States.
Washington, Oct. 20. —The follow
ing letter has been sent by the presi
dent to (he secretary of war after a
conference with the secretary of stave
and the secretary of war in respect to
the conditions in Panama:
"Sir—By executive order of May 9,
1904, I placed under your immediate
supervision the work of the isthmian
canal commission, both in the con
struction of the canal and in the ex
ercise of such governmental powers
as it seemed necessary for the United
States to exercise under the treaty
with the republic of Panama in the
canal strip. There is ground for be
lieving that in the execution of tho
rights conferred by the treaty the
people of Panama have been unduly
alarmed at the effect of the establish
ment of a government in the canal
strip by tho commission. Apparently
they fear lest the effect be to create
out of part of their territory a com
peting and independent community
which shall injuriously affect their
business, reduce their revenues and
diminish their prestige as a nation.
"The United States is about to con
fer on the people of the state of Pan
ama a very great benefit, by the ex
penditure of millions of dollars in the
construction of the canal. But this
fact must not blind us to the impor
tance of so exercising the authority
given us under the treaty with Pan
ama as to avoid creating any sus
picion, however unfounded, of our in
tentions as to the future. We have
not the slightest intention of estab
lishing an independent colony in the
middle of the state of Panama, or of
exorcising any greater governmental
functions than are necessary to en
able us to construct, maintain and
operate the canal, under the rights
given us by the treaty. Least of all
do we desire to interfere with the
business and prosperity of the people
of Panama.
"However far a just construction of
the treaty might, enable us togo, did
the exigencies of the case require it.
in asserting the equivalent of sov
ereignty over the canal strip, it is
our full intention that the rights
which we exercise shall be exercised
with all proper care for the honor and
Interests of the people of Panama.
The exercise of such powers as are
given us by the treaty within the geo
graphical boundaries of the republic
of Panama may easily, if a real sym
pathy for both the present and future
welfare of the people of Panama is
not shown, create distrust of tho
American government.
"I have concluded that it will be of
great, advantage if you can visit the
isthmus of Panama in person and
hold a conference with the president
and other governmental authorities of
the republic of Panama. You are au
thorized in doing this to take with
you such persons as you desire, fa
miliar with the conditions in the isth
mus, who may aid you with their
counsel. The earlier you are able to
make this visit the better. You will
advise the president, of the republic
what the policy of this government is
to he and assure him that it is not the
purpose of the United States to take
advantage of the rights conferred
upon it by the treaty to interfere with
the welfare and prosperity of the statu
of Panama or of the cities of Colon
and Panama. You will make due re
port of tli# result of your visit on your
return. Very truly yours,
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
Senor Obaldia, minister of Panama
to the United States, held a confer
ence with the secretary of state and
secretary of war subsequent to the re
ceipt. of this letter, and the secretary
of war Invited the minister to accom
pany him on Ills trip to Panama. It.
is impossible#to say exactly when the
secretary of war can leave for Pan
ama, but probably on November 14.
Judge Magoon, the law officer of
the canal commission and of the
bureau of insular affairs, who has
been of much assistance in framing
regulations for the canal strip, also
will be of the party. The members of
the senate and house committees
dealing with isthmian affairs will be
invited.
"COLONIZATION" FRAUDS.
Trial of Two New Yorkers Accused of
a Serious Offense Begins.
New York, Oct. 20. —Richard Van
Cott, son of the postmaster of New
York, and republican candidate for
the assembly in the Fifth district, and
Bankson McAvoy, cashier in the gen
eral postofflce, a republican worker In
the Fifth district, were arraigned yes
terday on a charge of having coloniz
ed in the district non-resident citi
zens, with the purpose of voting them
at the coming election. Benjamin 1).
Levy, who is said to have made a
confession relative to the case, was a
witness.
Slips bearing the addresses of
houses where the men are alleged to
lodge were identified by Levy as
papers given to hini by Van Cott.
Levy said the bargain between him
and McAvoy about procuring men
was: "One dollar for registration,
six weeks' board and a couple of dol
lars for the vote on election day."
Marines Guard a Shipyard.
Philadelphia, Oct. 20. — In compli
ance with an order received at. the
League Island navy >anl from Wash
ington a detail of marines was sent
yesterday to Cramp's shipyard to
gmird the armored cruiser Pennsyl
vania, which is receiving the finishing
touches preparatory to a builder's
trial. On the ways are the cruiser
Tenm-ssee and the battleships Idaho
and Mississippi. With the regularly

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
During the Year Ended June 30,
1904, 3,787 Lives Were Lost and
61,343 Persons Injured in America.
Washington, Oct. 19.—A report is
sued by the inter-state commerce
commission shows that the total num
ber of casualties to persons on rail
roads in the United States during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, was
55,130, comprising 3,787 killed an<l
51,313 injured. This shows a large in
crease.
The total number of collisions and
derailments was 11,291, involving
$9,383,077 of damage to cars, engines
and roadway. This is an increase of
048 collisions and derailments.
The casualties were an increase of
233 killed and of 5,300 injured over the
preceding year. Four hundred and
twenty of those killed were passen
gers and 3,307 railroad employes, and
of those injured 8,077 were passengers
and 43,200 railroad employes. Includ
ed in these figures are the statistics
for the last three months of the year,
Which show a total of 077 killed and
11,418 injured, a decrease from the
preceding quarter.
These figures do not include cas
ualties at highway crossings, to tres
passers or persons walking along the
track, in shops remote from the rail
road or to employes not actually on
duty; nor trifling accidents to em
ployes which did not prevent them
from performing their accustomed
service for more than three days in
the aggregate, during the ten days im
mediately following the accidents.
The report says: "As the accident
bulletins are issued to furnish the
public with facts, this exhibit of the
dangers of railroad travel —an exhibit
which the most conservative must
agree should be termed alarming—
will not be made the subject of com
ment in this place."
MAJOR DELMAR WON GOLD CUP.
The Smathers Horse Defeated Lou
Dillon at Memphis.
Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 19.—C. K. G.
Hillings' Lou Dillon, the champion
trotting mare, went down to defeat
yesterday before Major Delmar, own
ed by B. E. Smathers, in the third and
last contest for the Memphis gold cup,
the feature race of the opening day of
the fourth annual meeting of the
Memphis Trotting association. After
sustaining a terrific pace to the three
quarters polo in the first heat of the
contest, it was apparent that the mare
was in bad condition and she was
pulled up, Major Delmar winning in a
jog.
Despite a critical examination by
veterinary surgeons who pronounced
the mare affected by an ailment
known to horsemen as the "thumps,"
Lou Dillon was again brought out on
the track by Mr. Billings and against
the advice of the veterinarians, he an
nounced that, as a matter of form, he
would start the mare in the second
heat. Major Delmar rounded the
course in easy time, Lou Dillon fol
lowing at a slow trot. Mr. Smathers,
representing the New York Driving
club, becomes the permanent owner of
the cup.
CLAIMED IT IS A FRAUD.
Chicago Police Raided the Office of a
Home for Epileptics.
Chicago, Oct. 19. —The office of a
homo for epileptics was raided by the
police yesterday. The books of the
institution and the liveries of women
solicitors were seized.
The raid was the result of an inves- i
tigation made by Secretary Egan, of
the state board of health, who notified
Chief of Police O'Neill, charging that
the home was a fraud.
The home, which is supposed to be
In Blue Island, employs 12 women
solicitors. In making their rounds
they dress in green and white gowns
cut after the fashion of the costume of
Catholic Sisters of Charity.
The "home" has been in operation
two years and no doubt of its genuine
ness ever was made public until a
pseudo nun made charges against the
institution. The 12 solicitors are said
to collect from $l5O to S2OO a day.
Riot in an Irish Town,
Cork, Oct. 19.—A serious conflict
between sympathizers with those
who were arrested for participation
in the eviction riots at Fellsport on
October 12 and the police occurred at
the hearing of the case at the River
town courthouse Tuesday. Over 20
people were injured in the disturb
ance, some of them being seriously
hurt. When the Fellsport defendants
were arraigned, the crowd in attend
ance, unable to secure admission to
the court room, attacked the police.
Over 100 of the latter formed up to
maintain order and charged with
their batons, striking right and left
and dispersing the crowd.
Weinselmer Is Convicted.
New York, Oct. 19. —The jury in the
case of Philip Weinseimer, ex-presi
dent of the Building Trades Alliance,
on trial for extortion, returned a ver
dict of guilty shortly before midnight
last night. He was remanded to the j
Tombs until October when sentence j
will be pronounced. Weinseimer has
been on trial for more than a week in
the Court of speeial sessions.
Rubber T ire Factory Burned.
New York, Oct. 19. —Fire last night
destroyed the works of the Anchor ;
Rubber Tire Co. at Setaukct, Long Isl
and. The loss is estimated at sjoo,ooo,
most of which was upon machinery
and finished and unfinished stock. j
Election Officers Sentenced for Fraud.
Havana, Oct. 19. —A dispatch to La ,
Ltieha says that all five members of
the Santiago provincial election re
turning board have been sentenced to
14 years and eight months' imprison- j
ment for falsifying returns in order
to seat several congressmen belong- j
ing to the moderate coalition. Lead- !
era of the moderates in congress will I
appeal against the sentence to the su- 1
preme court. They claim thai, the j
moderate candidates in the province ;
of Santiago had sufficient votes to ;
elect them, apart from the questions
of fraud.
ATTACKS DARWIN THEORY.
Holland Professor Electrifies Con
gress of Ai-ts and Science by De.
nounclng Popular Idea.
Combating tho theory of DarwJn a?
to the origin of species and advancing
a theory of his own which revolution
tzes ail Ideas of biologists and pbyolo
gists, Prof. Hugo De Vries, professor
of botany in tho University of Arnster
dam, Holland, electrified 350 members
of the congress of arts and science
who gathered at the meeting of the
section of phylogony in convention
hall at St. Louis recently.
His address, which gave for the first
time to tho scientific world in detail
tho results of a lifetime research
roused immediate interest, and follow
Ing the eminent European, Prof
Charles O. Whitman, of the University
of Chicago, took instant objection tc
his theories. President David Starr
Jordan, tho most noted, of tho defend
ers of Darwinism, and biologists from
all sections of the world participated
in tho hot debate which followed.
Prof. Do Vries does not wholly dis
credit Darwin. On the contrary, ha
rather emphasizes some of the main
essentials of that renowned soiontist,
but In such a manner that if the
thought of the Hollander becomos rec
ognized as a basic principle of evclti
tion Darwin must necessarily bo rele
gated to the ranks of those who for a
time have occupied the stage of ac
tion.
In theoretical language tho thought
of Prof. De Vries Is in this strain:
Natural selection is only a seine and is
no force of nature, no direct force of
nature as has so often been asserted.
Artificial selection consists of Iwc
main principles, called variety-tasting
and racial improvement. Species as
we see them in naturo fluctuate within
fixed limits which are not seen to be
transgressed.
Silent Wedding Party.
Every member of the wedding party
being a deaf-mute, the wedding ol
Miss Emma Blanche Warden, of I-lar
risburg, Pa., and James Ladd, of Bing
ham Center, Potter county, was an
unusual one. The ceremony was con
ducted at the home of the bride's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Warden.
Tho officiating clergyman was the
Rev. F. C. Smlelau, also of Williams
port. The Episcopalian ritual v/as
followed, the sign language being
used. The attendants were class
mates of tho bridal couple at the
Mount Airy seminary.
