WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The 300 word
cipher dispatch received from Minister
Woodford Saturday night. was translated at
the State department today, but no intima-
ton of its import conld be secured from
official sources. Assistant Secretary Day,
who has been entrusted with the whole cor
respondence by the president, refused to dis
Cuss the message. He said simply there
were no developments that could be made
public a. this time.
To urgent appeals for something definite
the president replied through Secretary Por-
ter that the whole matter was in Secretary
Days hands and that the president relied
on him TO handle the information for the
press
1t was stated at the white House. how
ever, that there was no truth in the re-
port of a censure on Minister Woodford for
allowing Dupuy de Lone to forestall him in
presenting the application for the minister's
recall.
Minister woodford's course had been en-
tirely satisfactory and any criticism at this
time was unfounded and unfair. 1t could not
be ascertained positively whether or not an
answer to Minister Woodford's last dispatch
has been sent. 1t Is almost certain how
ever, that a reply has been drafted and
that it was put in cipher at the State de-
partment this evening
The Duke d'Arcos, mentioned in Madrid
dispatches, as a possible successor to Dupuy
de LONE, has been the guest of Rev. DIR. and
Mrs. Mackey-Smith Of this city during the
last week. With him is the Duchess d'Arcos,
formerly Miss Virginia Lowery of Washing
ton. The duke was ambassador to Mexico
and is stopping in Washington en- route to
Spain. During the week he has been enter
tanned by the British ambassador and Lady
Pauncefote at luncheon and by the late
Spanish minister and Nine. de LONE, who
gave dinner in his honor Thursday evening.

Liquor Petition.
OLATHE, Kan, Feb. 13.-At a mass meet
ing of his fellow citizens this afternoon
John p. st. John. the ex-prohibiticH gov
ornor. was roundly denounced for signing a
whisky petition. Governor St. John endenv-
orel to defend himself but was questioned
so sharply that he was compelled to retreat
under fire. The demonstration which fol-
lowed was one Of the liveliest ever wit
messed in Olathe the center ten years ago
of the original package excitement.
Three local druggists had filed petitions
with the probate judge asking for permis-
sion to sell liquor. The law requires the
signatures of twenty-five men and like
number of women of the ward in which he
store is to locate. One Of the druggists Cot
Ex-Governor st. John to Sign his petition
This stirred up the Women's Christian TEN
perance union as never before and a mass
meeting was called this afternoon. The
church was crowded. Senator Parker, the
first speaker, called upon Mr.. st. John to ex
plain why he-so prominent and able
leader and temperance advocate Fad, after
so many years OF prohibition in the city,
signed the petition.
Mr.. st. Johns explanation was that he
wanted liquor sold only by the druggists.
In Cn instant the house was in an uproar
and heated questions were thrust at prohi-
bitlonS champion from every quarter OF the
house' 1 ne Questions hhdily cdihe 30 lhiCh
and fast that no answers could be given and
the ex-governor retired.
Judge Hindman delivered a heated speech,
declaring that upon such questions the
Women's Christian Temperance union had al
ways been right, and at this time he would
follow under their wise leadership, instead
of following the "ineXcusable course of st.
John At this utterGnce a veritable storm
of applause broke forth. Others could not
wait, but arose and emphatically protested
against the actof of St. John, two or three
trying to be heard at once.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Feb. 13.-From
the point of view of the New Bedford
strikers, the action taken by the conference
of textile unions in Boston today Is scarcely
likely to be received with Joy, inasmuch as
it is against the policy adopted at the meet
ings of the executive committee of the Ma
tional Spinners union, to-wit that New Bed
ford should be made the battle-ground and
until the conclusion of the strike here the
other textile centers should remain at work,
thereby acquiring the means to assist the
New Bedford operatives In their struggle.
Then at the conclusion Of New Bedford's
fight, the plan was that whether New Bed
ford won or lost, the strike against the gem
eral reduction should be extended in one dis
trlct at time until the whole of New Eng
land has been covered.
In view Of this plan, which seemed to
meet with general asquescence, the action
of the committee, 1t would seem, is direct
change OF tactics. The delegates to the con-
ference will report the new plan to their
several unions for their consideration and
although the Boston conference adjourned,
without date 1t is presumed that after action
is taken by the unions, another conference
will be called to take action in connection
with the action of the unions.
Secretary Cunnane of the general strike
council reports the collections received
up to p. IN. Saturday. The total for the
week was sl475, as against Sl,345 for the
previous week. or an increase OF $3.50.
Daniel dc Leon. the socialist organizer, to-
day closed the series OF meetings which he
has addressed in the interest of his party.
AS a result Of these meetings a branch OF
the Socialist Trade and Labor alliance has
been formed in this city. This Is the new
trades union movement vouched for by the
socialists and its fundamental principle Is
the wiping out OF the capitalist class at the
ballet box rather than the settlement OF the
differences DplWppn paDital and nbOr nv
strikes. Notwithstanding the attitude of the
trade and labor alliance and the socialists
generally toward strikes, they declare that
they wish to do nothing to injure the pres
ent strike, but after 1t is over they want
the socialists to exert their influence at the
polls.
