Fz- Congressman John Nichols Says He May
Make Some Remarks

Speaking of the Congressional sit
lation in this district, Hon. John
Nishols yesterday remarked to News
and Observer reporter that the list of
statesman who manipulated the Con-
gressiOnal convention. held here a
week ago, was not entirely correct.
.'You have the name Of enc gentle
a3n," said he, that should not APP
pear. and omitted one that should be
added. {. NJ. Bernard. District Attor-
ney, | know had nothing TO do with
the fixing Of delegates and it does
him an injustice not 10 make this cor
rectiOn. Mir. Bernard was, and is, Il
warm friend of the successful candi-
date, but | know he took no part
against me. The name of Marshall
Milli<en should DC inserted in place
of that of Mr.. Bernard, with the title
Of bearer of DISPATCHES added there
to. It would be like the play of Ham
let left out, to omit the name of Milf
ken whenever there is any political
iugglery to be enacted in the Fourth
ConoTessiona district"
Have you anything further to say?"
asked the reporter.
Not at present" replied Mr.. Mich
OILS "but | may have later on-say
in about year and half-unleSs the
civil service attends to the matter be-
fore that time. A little ventilation in
the no distant future might. Cor might

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. IL
The supreme court, in an opinion by
Judge Robinson, all the judges concur
ring, declared the department store law
passed by the last legislature unconstitu.
tional and void for the reason that it is
clearly class legislation and because the
act is incomplete and is not law and
does not constitute n rule of conduct and
for the further reason that the act i'm
poses an occupation tax as a license to do
business. The law applied to st. Louis,
Kansas City and st. Joseph and the
stores in those cities employing Il speci-
fed number of clerks. This feature is OBJ
jected to in the opinion as class legisla-

The Scots and Bavarinns.

In paper on Recent Ethn0graph-
ical Work in Scotland" read before the
British association, Mr.. Gray described
his observations on the color of the
hair and eyes Of the schoolchildren of
East Aberdeenshire. The pigmenta-
ton of the Scotch children was shown
in a table and compared with the con-
tinental districts, whence, according
to tradition and history, THE lowland
Scots derived large element of their
population-viz.: Schleswig-Holstein,
Lueneberg, and Mecklenburg-S -Schwerin,
the reputed original seats of the Angles
and Saxons. The tables showed that
the three north German districts were
more blonde than East Aberdeenshire
Germany got more brunette and less
blonde from north to SOUTH and we
must go as far as upper Bavaria to get
district approximating in pigmenta,
tion to East Aberdeenshire.

THE COLlMA VOLCANO.
Fierce Eruption on Pacinc Coast Of
Mexico.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.--Interesting de-
tails regarding the sudden and fierce
eruption of the Colima volcano on the Pa
cifc coast of Mexico, recently reported
by telegraph from Guadalajara Mexico,
have been received by w. j. Arkcll of
this city, who is largely interested in cop
per properties in the state of Colima.
The account received by Mr.. Arkell de-
scribcs an immense river of lava as run
ming over the side Of the volcano, which
threatened to overwhelm three Indian
villages near its base. These Indians fed
to the Santa Ana mine in the center of
Colima's copper region and sought safety
from the flames by hiding in its recesses.
They left their women and children to
shift for themselves. A company of
Mexican troops which had been promptly
dispatched TO the scene from Guadnla-
jara were compelled TO drive the Indians
from the mine and send them back to
their homes to protect their families.
Much woodland property was destroyed,
but the natives are poor and shiftless,
and their losses, while very serious to
them in many instances, aggregate only a
small amount.
The government of Mexico, from whom
Mr.. Arkell, Mr.. Netherton Hall of Chi
cago and Mr. Paul w. Horbach of Oma-
ha obtained n concession of 250,000 acres
in the Colma valley, generously offered
10 cancel the concession if the mines were
injured by the volcanoes eruption, but the
offer was declined. One of the most seri-
Gus results of the volcanic disturbance is
the entire cessation of work on n tram
way now being built to connect the cop
per mines with the port of Manzanillo.
The contractors were unable to restrain
the terrified Indians employed in the con-
struction of the road, and many of them
have gone to Michoacan and Jalisco and
others have fled to the more distant
southern states Of the republic.
The telegram from Mr.. Arkell's super
intendent further adds that 'one of the
reasons for the terrible fright of the
Mexican natives is because for many
years superstition has prevailed that
the close of this century would be mark
ed by devastating foods and earthquakes.
1t is almost impossible to dispel the be-
lief in the minds of the people that the
eruption of Coima is not the beginning
of the end of all things. Unless the vol
cano speedily ceases its fireworks there
won't be an Indian within 100 miles of
the properties.

NIGHTKEYS FOR CHRISTMAS.
ccivcd Them from Their Next
Door Neighbors.

A Brooklyn man and wife have had
two peculiar experiences which have
caused them to be talked about in their
neighborbood. A few months ago they
went out for the evening and forgot TO
take nightkey. The servant was out
the same night. When the man and his
wife returned and failed to get re-
sponse to their ring, the husband
smashed one of the windows and
crawled in. In this way he opened the
door and admitted his wife, says the
New York Sun.
One experience of this character is
sufficient to make an impression, but 1t
left no warning on the mind of this
man. Not long after the incident he and
his wife again went out and forgot n
night key. Failing TO get in on their
return the man sent his wife to neigh
bor's while he went over to a hotel neow-
by to borrow jimmy, as he had decid-
I'd 10 get in with that and save the eX-
pense OF window glass. Armed with
the implement he returned, and after
considerable effort he forced the door,
walked upstairs and found his neigh
bors and his wife enjoying themselves.
He had forced the doors of his neigh
bors' house, adjoining his own and
INTELLECTUALLY a counterpart Of it.
Then his wife made the discovery that
she had the key of her house.
Among the Christmas offerings re-
ceived by the man and wife was n
, bunch of night keys.

ODD CALENDARS.
There Is One Used In Russia That Is
Twelve Days Ahead of Ev-
crything Else.

The most out-of-date almanac is that
possessed by Russia, while the palm for
the Largest circulation" goes to that
issued from Pelting. Incredible though
it may sound, it is nevertheless fact
that the land of the Great White Tsar
still cherishes a calendar which is 10
days ahead of everybody else, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t is true that our own calendar was
II days out until 1851. Then our Eng
lsh forefathers put ii straight by drop
ping these spare days out of the reck-
oning, much to the dismay of the un-
educated. The public state of mind at
that time may best be realized from
the fact that it held riotous mass meet
ings, TO protest against the robbery"
with bands and banners, from the lat
ter of which bazed forth its grievance:
"Give us our II days!" Indeed, it was
not until several heads had been broken
by the swords of the military that
those which still remained intact cooled
sufficiently to appreciate the fact that
the change was inevitable, and not
merely the outcome of n government
dodge to fleece the workingman out OF
IL days pay.

Investigation of Use of the
Military In Idaho.
Robertson Makes Grave Ac-
cusations Against Merriam.
Says Striking Miners We're De-
MED Counsel Military Super
seded Civil Authorities.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The inves.
tigation of the mining troubles and the
conduct of the United States forces in
Idaho last summer continued today be-
fore the house committee on military af-
fairs. Frederick G. Robertson resumed
his narrative, begun yesterday, giving the
legal proceedings he adopted in behalf of
the imprisoned miners and the difficulties
he claims to have encountered from the
military authorities, state officials and the
courts. He said he was refused permis
sion to be present at the inquest of those
killed during the outbreak and was un-
able to communicate with the accused
miners as to their rights, although rep
resentatives of the mining company were
present He protested to the attorney
general that the miners were being de.
MED the right of counsel. Throughout
these proceedings, the witness said, the
military authorities were in control of
affairs, and United States soldiers guard
ed the imprisoned men, bringing them to
and from the court.
The witness said General Merriam was
in charge of the "bull PEN" This was
improvised quarters, as no prison was
available, and consisted of old buildings
Mr.. Robertson expressed the opinion that
the United States forces should have
been used to preserve order and uphold
the civil authorities; but in fact, he de-
clares, they superseded the civil authori-
ties and in some instances, which were de-
tailed, arrested men in no way connected
with the outbreak. He said there were
no warrants and none of the usual forms
of law, but when man was wanted he
was stopped on the street and sent to
the "bull pen" This was done by depu-
ties, who acted under the state officials
and the military authorities. The wit
ness will proceed with his statement to-
morrow.
Messrs. Morrison and Furuseth of the
American Federation of Labor were pres
ent during the hearing today, and Presi
dent Gompers is expected to attend wher
