Trees Scarce.

Trees from the nurseries are getting
scarce and those on hand are of a
poor quality. The cause for this Is
that the various suburban improve
ment companies have got ahead of
the citizens by ordering some thous-
ands of trees from the nurseries for
planting. The West End company
alone has set out 1000 mulberry trees
this season.

Phosphate Magnates.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 2.-Quite tlutter
Was caused in the phosphate market
here to-day by the mysterious visit OF
party of foreign capitalists. The par
ty consisted OF G. Hoyer Miller and E.
Packard OF London. X. Weengard of
Hamburg, W. S. Cooper OF London,
James Gurdyrn of Aberdeen, with 0.
Meyer of Nova Scotia and f. a. Corde-
ray of Florida. They got here early in
the morning, went up to the Charleston
Mining Company's works in the
suburbs, took run over the phosphate
fields and left for Beaufort at p. M.
leaving instructions for their mall to
be forwarded to Tampa, Fla.
Miller and Cooper are members OF the
well known Canadian phosphate firm OF
Cooper, Miller Il Co. of London and
Montreal.
The general impression here is that
the rumors that have been circulated
for some weeks of the intention of an
English syndicate to buy up all the
phosphate territory and mills in this
State and Florida. are true, and that the
present party are prospectorS. The
phosphate men here are retlcent on the
Subject and say they don't know any

The Force Bill Will Bc Passed,

WASHINGTON. October lin the
course of an interview on the work of
the session with a Star reporter to-day
Senator Edmunds was asked if the Re-
publicans would pass the Federal elec-
ton bill next session. "Will we pass
the Federal election bill next session ?'
repeated the Vermont Senator. Eyes,
it should have been, and could have
been, passed this session. More than
that, it would have been had there not
been an agreement Ito which / was not
party) between some of my Republican
brethren and the Democratic Senators.
1t may be that the rules of the Senate
will need to be amended before the bill
can pass, but l am Of opinion that we
have rules enough. Parliamentary prac-
tice long approved provides that when
there is an evident intention on the part
of the minority to wilfully obstruct legis-
lation. it Is perfectly legitimate and only
right that the majority assert its power
and come to conclusion. That is my
belief. There arc those Of my own par
ty who disagree with me, and it may be
that new rules will be brought forth to
meet and defeat the captious minority
opposition. I am willing such rule be
adopted, if it is absolutely necessary.
Rule or no rule, the Federal election bill
will become law before the adjournment
of the 51st Congress"

Tho National Issue.

In the course Of a speech at Atchinson,
Kan, the Hon Charles Robinson, the
Democraic candidate for Governor, said:
The principal national issue OF the
campaign ought to be,and doubtless will
be, the tariff. There are other reforms
to be considered in the interest of the
people, and 1 shall take them up earnest
ly and in their place, but the question OF
the tariff must remain the great issue.
The oppressive taxation system now In
effect is a burden on the people, and it
must be removed. 1t is unjust, and help
is called for. A measure about to become
law makes this burden even greater
in the West, and as a Western man and
one interested in my fellows in the West,
I think the Importance Of the tariff ques-
ton paramount" There is no question
that in saying this Governor Robinson
voiced the sentiment Of the people OF
his State, and, indeed, Of the entire
West.

The Rarrundia Killing.

WAsHINGToN,S Sept. 24-In the House
to-day Hill, of Illinois, from the Com
nittee on Foreign Affairs, reported a
resolution calling on the President for
information relative to the killing of
General Barrundia.
McCreary, OF Kentucky, strenuously
advocated the resolution. The killing
Of General Barrundia by the Guatemal-
ian authorities on the United States
vessel "Ocapulco" had attracted wide
sttention both here and abroad. Public
indignation had increased rs the facts
OF the killing became known and pub
lie sentiment demanded that there
should be 4 thorough investigation of
the killing of Il man OF an American
vessel and under the flag OF the United
States. There was no law which per
nitted Minister Miner to advise or
suggest to the captain Of the "OcaDul-
CO" that it was his duty to give up his
passenger. When the minister did that
he violated precedent and law. The
deck of an American vessel was terri
tory of the United States. He (Mc-
CTedCS) Ilau OlleIeu HIS I6SOluIiOu, Uc-
cause he believed that the United States
minister had not done his duty, and
that the officers of the United States
war vessels had not done their duty,
Americans owed it to themselves and
to their flag to investigate the matter.
Where was our boasted American
policy.
Hit said that he believed every mem-
Der CT the House was in accord in re-
gard to the propriety of adopting the
resolution. He wished to know all the
facts in reference to the matter. and he
was advised that the State Department
would send the information promptly.
He instanced the case of Gomez, poll
tical fugitive on the same line Of steam
ers, whom the government OF Nlcar-
auga attempted to arrest. The captain,
by consular advice, had refused 20 de-
liver him up. Secretary Bayard had
sent a dispatch stating that 1t had been
the plain duty OF the captain to deliver
Gomez to the local authorities. The
resolution was adopted.

Twenty Dead Bodies.

WALLA WALLA. WASH, Sept. 81
Through gentleman from Pendleton,
news was received this morning of a
railroad disaster at WauconZa, eight
miles east Of Shoshone. on the Oregon
Short line, at S O'Clock Friday morning.
The station is the passing point tor
the Union Pacific fast mail trains. The
eastbound train pulled into the station
on time and side-tracked. 4 minute
later the westbound train ran in. The
switch to the man track was closed,
and it ran ahead into the eastbound train
and wrecking both engines. The lntor.
mant says the passenger cars were all
smashed. When he left twenty dead
bodies had been taken out and it was
thought that there were more in the
wreck. FRIDAYS trains were ali aban'
doned. Passengers from all points this
side were delayed, as there was DO train
run out from Huntington that day.

THE NEXT HOUSE.
Some Conjectures as to its Political Com
DlexiOn.

|
| WASHINGTON, Oct. What about
the political complexion of the next
House?
This is the question all Democrats are
asking now, but one which few of them
can answer. Up to few weeks ago
every Democrat felt certain that the
Democrats would win the next House
| by at least twenty-five majority. How
ever When Chairman Flower of the
| Democratic Congressional Committee
stated yesterday that not one single
dollar except the $4,000 which he sub
scribed ont of his own pocket has been
subscribed to the Democratic fund, and
that the result of the election was very
doubtful, there was some CONSERVATION
in the Democratic ranks. The Demo
cratic members would not stand an
assessment, and with the exception Of
Mr.. Flower, not one has subscribed a
dollar to the fund. Nor have any out
siders subscribed a dollar. Indeed the
Democratic committee has never had
Sthing but Mr.. Flowers $4,000, and
there seem to be no prospects of get
ting any more.
On the other hand. the Republican
manufacturers have come up manfully
and the Republican Congressional COM
mittee has well-iilled barrel of money
at their headquarters awaiting to be
spentin The close districts, where it will
be used On the blocks-of-live system.
Somehow the Democrats of the coun-
try seem to have lost all the interest in
politics, while the Republicans are leav-
ing no stones .unturned in their efforts
to carry the next House.
AS a matter of fact the Democrats
should carry the next House by thirty
majority, but if no efforts are made vhe
party cannot hope for success. Already
their are certain Democrats who are
kicking about Mr.. Flowers manage
ment of the cam npaign, but they are do
ing nothing but kicking and are chronic
klckers. Mr.. Flower has gone down
into his own pocket deep, while the
kickers and other Democrats not only
refuse to subscribe, but refuse to at
tempt to raise any money. Mr. Flower
is working as best he can without
money, and is hopeful, but if the other
Democrats persistently refuse to sub
scribe or even work for the party, then
there can be no success. While the
countt1y is undoubtedly Democratic, if
the Democratic party refuses to even
send out campaign documents or spend
a dollar of money, then the Republicans
will again control the next House, and
we shall hav. two more years of Tom
Reeds rule.
However, Chairman Flower will at
tempt to raise some money on the out
side of Congress, and with thatexpects
to carry the Democratic party to victory.
It would never do for the Democrats to
lose the next House.

Lawyer Tarred and Feathered.

BAKEsFIID, CAL, Oct. 2.-Early yes
terday morning ten masked and armed
men appeared at the door of the Court
House and demanded the keys of the
jailer. They said they wanted James
Harrington, to whom they proposed to
give a lesson. They seized the jailer,
took his keys and put him under guard
and then captured the sheriff also.
Next they opened the jail and took
Harrington from his cell. He resisted
desperately and the men gagged him,
put him in a wagon and conveyed him
to lonely place four or FIVE blocks
away, stripped him and applied coat
of tar and feathers. Harrington was
then set at liberty and he disappeared.
Harrington has been known IN this
neighborhood nearly three years as q
pettifogging lawyer, whose principal
business was the promotion of land
contests, thereby obtaining money from
the trouble he caused among the set
tiers. He was in jail on charge OF
perjury preferred against him by aset'
tier whom he engaged in a contest. lie
had been arrested the preceding day
and was lodged in Il cell only few
minutes before the arrival OF Vigil
lanteS.

A GIANT MASTODON.
The Skeleton OF an Enormous Animal
Found in Canada.

OTTAWA, Oct. 2.-The skeleton Of a
great mastodon found in Hlgate, forty
miles west of st. Thomas, is on exhlbi-
ton at that town. The area Of the grave
where the monsters bones were found Is
35x21 feet. The bones were scattered
over it, one joint fitting into the other
in a bed of gray mari about six feet be-
low the surface. Over the mari IS a
thick layer of black, loamy soil, resem-
bling IN composition and quality the
lands that skirt moss peat.
The following are some Of the bone
measurements: Hind legs, from the
thigh to the knee joint, Al inches; Cir
cumference, IS inches; two foreleg bones
the humerus the shoulder blade
to the knees ieint, 3 feet 4 inches in
length and feet inches in circumfer-
ence. The atlas JOINT. upon which the
head is set, has breadth of IS inches.
The shoulder blade measures 3 feet 2
inches by 2 feet Inch in the widest part.
The longest rib-and nearly all the ribs
hare been tound-is 81 inches long and
has circumference of 10 inches. The
lower jaw. the inferior maxllliary bone.
which is in a splendid state OF preserva-
ton, measures feet round from the one
condyle process to the other, and the
width Of the jaws q! inches.
One Of the tasal bones. which is toler-
ably well preserved, is 2 feet l inches
long, and the olfactory channeli is / in
ches by 8. The joints of the vertebre
are like the hoofs ola draught horse, and
the channel Of the spinal column would
form bed for a three-inch water pipe.
The length Of the animal, gagged by the
measurement of the bones already found,
and allowing for those that have not yet
been discovered, is, from the point Of the
nostril to the root Of the tail, about %
feet. This is greater than that of the
celebrated mastodon giganticus discov-
cred near Newburg, n. Y, in tbs Sum-
mer of 1915. and the skeleton as whole
is larger and more complete than any
that has been found in Kentucky, Ohio,
Missouri, California or Oregon, where
the remains have been in greater abun-
dance.-NeW YOrh Star.

PLAIN TRUTHS PLAINLY SPOKEN.
The Severe Speech of Charles j. Bona
parte, of Baltimore.


Boston, October AT a meeting of
the National Civil Service Reform Lea
que to-day George William Curtis was
elected president for the ensuing year.
The treauserer's report showed bal
ance of S2,OOOin the treasury. a paper
by E. NJ. Shepard, of Brooklyn, Oh ''Ex-
animation in character essential to COM
plete competition" was read.
Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore,
president of the Maryland League, read
a paper on the SRelation of civil service
reform to other reform" He declared
civil service reform to be necessary be-
fore other reforms could begin. He
said:
"To expect to get solutions of the tar
iff. currency and pension problems from
such men as make up the bulk OF either
house of Congress, OF to deal wisely with
the labor and liquor questions through
such men as make up our Legislatures
and councils, is as irrational as to eX-
pect figs from thistles. a verltable Ser
bonian bog of intrigue and gr3pple with
these questions have any buC the high.
est standard of honor The standard of
these politicians has been defended by
one of their own number-a Senator
who has declared the puriticatlon Of
politics to be an iridescent chimera and
that the Golden Rule had no place in a
political campaign. The same doctrine
is echoed by every unfalthfLl trustee,
dishonest trader, habitual swindler and
thief. The profession of politics is un-
derstood by spoilsmen as essentially an
immoral profession like that OF gambler
or confidence man. The politician may
as well. so far as his self-respect or pub
lie utility is affected, be owned by a rich
man, rich corporation, Farmers ALI
ance, Knights of Labor or Grand Army
| of the Republic. He is bale Of the
same goods, whatever be his trade mark.
| TO rid cur country of these dangerous
and noxious counterfeit of statesmen
and make room for the genuine article,
which we produced in good measure
one hundred years ago, we have only to
do away with the incidents of public
life which have arisen and made 1t no
tit career for honorable men. When we
have practically applied the principles
of civil service reform through our Fed
eral States and municipal government
we may hope for other reforms so
tmuch desired"
