In connection with the granting of
executive permits to semi military
organizations to drill with arms, Gov
ernor Budd of California lays down
certain conditions which stamp him
as a genuine American and man of
wise foresight. He has decided that
in order to drill or parade with arms,
members of such organizations must
take oath of allegiance to the United
States and State of California. The
oath must be filed with the adjutant
general with an agreement that at all
times when called upon to defend
the government and uphold the laws
of the United States and the State, or
in any cases of emergency, the mem
bers OF such semi military organiza-
tions will place themselves and their
arms and equipments under the
authority and control of the eXecu-
tive power of the United States, or
commander-in chief of the State of
California. While drilling or march
ing with arms they must carry no flag
other than the stars and stripes.

With all the poverty Of London
there was never as much capital
awaiting reliable investments as now.
It is lying in banks on deposit at
nominal rates, or loaned temporarily
to enterprises sound enough in them
selves but yielding inadequate re-
turns. The total is estimated at the
enormous sum of between $3.50, 000,-
900 and e4O0, 900, 900. 1t would come
to this country for permanent in
vestments if confidence were felt in
our national finances. AS the mat
ter stands, however, Argentine rail-
ways, and South African land, gold
and diamond shares, will probably
absorb a large part of it. Pity it is
that some of this glut could not bene-
fit, or find employment for, the
struggling thousands in the East
district of that great capital.

Boston outdid it's already enviable
reputation for entertaining visitors
at the recent meeting of the National
Christian Endeavors in that city and
the hubs praises are being sung from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific. This
meeting has also impressed the East
with the great Importance of this
Christian organization. This organ
ization originated 25 years ago with
the young people of single church
in Maine. 1t now numbers 2,4OO,O
and is increasing more rapidly than
at any previous time. Most of it's
members are young people, and they
are in every country on the globe, al
though a large majority are in the
United States. 1t includes both sexes
in about equal numbers, and they
meet and work on equal terms. 1t
has two branches-the Young Peo-
pies society of Christian Endeavor
and the Junior society-the latter
embracing children, and this fact
contributes largely to it's success.

DEATH IN THE WAKE
String of Cars Dash Down q
Slope to Destruction.
MEN AND MULES HURLED TO DEATH.
Fatal Accident at Platt Mines, Alabama
The' Narrow Escape OF the Entire
Force OF Workmen-The Fas-
Jennings Loosened.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 25.-Down a
slope to destruction ran string of
cars at Slope No. of Platt mines yes
terday.
It seems that this string of cars was
at the top of the slope and that by
some mishap they were away from the
fasteners. Then there was nothing to
stop them and they dashed down the
steep slope at tightening speed.
William Fields, negro driver, Neal
Brady and two mules were on the track
in front of the cars. The mules and
the negro driver were hurled to death,
while Brady was probably fatally in
jured.
As it happened the men were just
going to work and these were the only
persons in the shaft at the time,
but if there had been any others the
chances are that they would have
shared the fate, for being in front of the
cars meant nothing short of death.

SOMETHING ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

Imminent In Germany,

Rumors Revived That Cabinet Crisis Is
Imminent In Germany,
BERLIN, May 27--The return of the
emperor to Potsdam on Friday from his
season of deer stalking at Broekel-
witz, caused the revival of last weeks
rumors that a cabinet crisis is immi-
nent. 1t was understood, OF course,
that whatever ministerial changes
might be impending nothing could De
done while the emperor was away, but
since his return reports are rife that
Chancellor Won Hohenlohe and Herr
Won Koeller, Prussian minister of the
interior, will soon be displaced, Count
Won Weldersee becoming chancellor.
With these changes it is reported that
the government will inaugurate new
program involving sharp repression of
public liberty and reaction against
universal suffrage. These reports,
however, arise solely from the general
expectation that something is about to
happen and the retirements and ap-
pointmentS indicated seem to be the
most likely of any movement that the
Kaiser would embark in as a measure
of reprisal for the defeat of the anti
revolution bill.

SUBSCRIPTION: Sl.OO Per Year.
eoFF.s NAME IS MENTIONED
Ns q Republican Presidential Candidate
From the South

WASHINGTON, May az Ex-Commis-
sioner of the Internal Revenue John
w. Mason indorses Judge Goff of West
Virginia for the presidency and be-
lieves that the man who gained such
wide reputation for his Judicial decis-
ion will make most acceptable candi-
date for that Office. In talking over
the chances of Judge Golf for the re-
publican nomination, Mr.. Mason said:
Never before in the history Of the country
has il been so necessary to have southern
man head the ticket. The elections during
the past year in the south have shown that
that section is more than ready to come into
the republican ranks il local prejudices can be
broken down. Republican doctrines are
spreading In all the manufacturing md other
Industrial districts of the southern states and
the liberal element there would like to indorse
these principles by voting for a republican
president. Louisiana might be carried by the
republicans, and il judge Con we're nominat-
ed West Virginia would surely indorse him
and there would be great probability OF car
rying Virginia. II IL could only be said that
republican vote would mean that sOutherner
would be placed in the white house, much OF
the antagonism of the southern people would
be overcome.

BRADsTREETs ON TRADE.
Mistaken Reports as to the Damage OF the
Wheat and Grain Crops.

NEW AOhhJ may 90. - bTdOSGTeetS
says:
The moderate reaction in the stock market
last week and this week, caused primarily by
repeated froSts and reports of severe damage
to cereal crops and other farm products was
followed only in part by corresponding check
to the movement in general trade. Our special
telegraphic advices furnise the most striking
evidence of a broadening of demand for
staples yet produced, and the following data,
telegraphed this journal, are the most buIIish
madefpublic since the upward turn began on
or about March /.
No one of the larger grain states confirmed
the reports of severe damage to wheat and
corn with which the exchanges have abounded,
and there is less reason to believe in the ex-
tent OF 1t as currently reported. The most
bullish feature of the wheat situation lies in
the announcement of restriction of Argentine
and Russian exports, reduced export ability of
nearly all leading producers, and shorter sup
plies of importing countries. Few believe that
wheat has touched its highest point on this
wave, although twenty-five cents per bushel
above the lowest since the panic
