The editor of the Elbow Lake Herald APP
pears to be pessimist. He says:
4 The same powerful interests that defeated
the passage OF the tax code and other tax
legislation in the legislature, with the added
influence Of the railroads, will unite in an
effort to- defeat Governor Van SAINT. We
fully believe they will succeed. That COM
bination controlled the legislature, but there
isn't man in the state who could be elected
governor with this opposition arrayed against
him. Van SAINT will be defeated because he
has been the friend Of the people.

The Albert Lea Times says:
Auditor Dunn and Congressman Heatwole
are credited with intentions of becoming can
didates for the republican gubernatorial nom
ination. They had better. wait couple Of
years. The party and the people want Gov
and Heatwole are both excellent men in good
standing with the public, and they cannot
afford to impair their prospects for future
promotion by allowing the use of their names
in opposition to Governor Van SAINT and the
Van SAINT policy at this time, for the Van
SAINT policy is the peoples policy. Both
gentlemen should wait. Their own and the
publics interests require it.

STILL MAKING STATEMENTS.

Up to noon Monday United States Dis
trict Attorney William Michael Byrne

letter:

My great desire now is to be Congressman
from Delaware, and that only for one term
and if the good people of Delaware will sendl
me. to Congress shall be profoundly
Obliged to them.
As to the Senate, think It a shame that
party dissension and hatred of Mr. AddicEr.
should deprive of that honor men Liked

1 consider 1t privilege to Join with Mr.
Addicks in his heroic effort TO keep thi
State Republican, but the honor OF tbeA
Senate / will leave TO others as will be

Why should Mr.. Robertson or Mr.. Hitchef4

they did not vote for me in the last? 4
never asked them to vote for me and nevelk

ONE YEAR FOR MELT.

Period at Workhouse.

Had sworn He Had Lived Here Year
Now He is Sentenced TO Serve That
Period at Workhouse.
A moist-eyed Italian woman, with a child
on her knee, sat In the United States Court
room Monday morning and saw her husband
sentenced 10 years imprisonment III the
New Castle county workhouse. The husband
was Pietro Melh, who said never a word. M
the court wis pronouneing sentence, but
who, afterwards in the United States mar
shal's office, pressed the child to lis breast
and tried 10 comfort his stricken wife.
Pietro was grocer in Philadelphia, who
came here and secured naturalization papers,
after swearing that he had been resident
of Delaware for one yenr. That was not the
truth and PietIo was convicted in the
Federal Court Inst week 81 fraud In securing
naturalization papers. He was brought over
from the workhouse Moaday to receive
his sentence, and his counsel, Harry En-
mons, was in court with him.
United States District Attorney Byrne, in
addressing Judge Bradford concerning the
case, stated that the task of the government
in unearthing the naturalization frauds had
been largo and he had been specially in
structed by the Department of Justice to
pursue the cases vigiantly. He believed that
an example should be made that would act
as deterrent. He suggested however, in
view Of the iury's, recommendation to
mercy, that as light sentence be imposed
as was consistent with the gravity OF the
offence.
Judge BrGS ford asked MeIh il he had any.
! thing to say why sentence should not be pro
nounced. Melti was silent. Then the judge
| sentenced him to pay the costs of the case
and to be Imprisoned one year in the New
Castle county workhouse.
Melti followed Deputy Marshal Clark from
the courtroom and his wife and child fol
lowed them to the marsha's office, wher
they had sad parting.

OFFICE BUILDING G0LLAPSES.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The front
portion of tho nine-story office bnild-
ing under construction for Henry s.
Willard, on Fourteenth street opposite
the new Willard Hotel, collapsed shortly
after s O'Clock this morning, and, a
large crowd of people passing on their
way to business had miraculous
escape from death or injury. E
The accident was caused by over
weighing the two iron column supports
for the front wall, the pillars being
insufficient to sustain the, weight Of
the 900 and 1000 pound stones which
were being piled as sill coping on the
sixth floor. These immense stones and
part of the iron framework fell to
the ground but, fortunately, the noise
of the crash gave sufficient warning to
the 40 workmen employed and TO the
passersby. Only one man, Washington
Gordon, laborer, was injured, but he
was able to return to work.

THE MACEDONIAN SITUATION.

Constantinople, Turkey, Sept. 30. =
Diplomatic circles here do NOT regard
the situation in Macedonia as being SO
serious ,as would appear from the
Turkish governments military prepare
tions in calling out 1000 men of the
militia reserves.
The Porte's alarm is partially at
tributed 20 the manHuvres and other
incidents of the Shipka Pass fetes, the
political Importance of which, however,
is considered to have been greatly ex-
aggerated in view of the approach of
winter, when the movements will
necessarily be stopped.
1t is not thought that the threats
of the Macedonian Committee will
foment a general revolution or develop
into anything very serious

A REE-GORNERED FIGHT.

That Appears to he t,e Result OF William
Michael Byrne's Determination to Re-
main on the Union Republican Ticket.
William Michael Byrne's letter to
President Roosevelt rendering his
resignation, as. United States District
Attorney for the District of Delaware,
is construed to emphasize his declara-
tion that he is in the fight for the
office of Representative in Congress to
remain until the contest is decided by
the voters on the 4th of November.
Some Republicans have been iDtimating
that his nomination was bluff on the
part of the Addicksites and that it
would not stand unless Congressman
Ball should resign from the Regular
ticket in Mr.. Byrne's favor, which
seemed highly improbable. Now, how
ever, it is quite apparent that Mr..
Byrne's nomination was no bluff, and
if it was intended so at first the
situation has changed.
1t is understood that Mr.. Byrne's
action meets with the approval of j..
Edward Addicks, which is construed
to mean that Mr.. Addiclss' wishes will
be respected by Mr.. Byrne throughout
the campaign. ssa., 49,, \
As evidence of this tho following APP
peared in the editorial columns of the
Sun, OF which j. Edward Addicks is
editor: e.
The Republicans of Delaware should renl
ize that nothing will remove William
Michael Byrne from tho Union Republican
| ticket as a candidate for Congress excepting
| death. In such contingency his place or
/ the ticket will be filled by j. Edward Ad
/ dicks. J. L. A.
There is no Indication of a with
drawal from the contest either on tn,
part of Mr.. Byrne or DIR. Ball. thu
nominee of the Regulars, and a livel,
campaign is expected, as the in
dications are that it will be three
oornered fight to the finish. ss0sl m

Powder Mill Explosion.

One Of the rolling, mills in the Hagley
yard of the do Pont Powder Go. exploded at
4.57 O'Clock Monday morning. Nobody was in
the mill at the time and nobody was hurt.
The mill was only slightly damaged and
comparatively little powder was burned.
The explosion was unusually heavy fora
small mill and the shock was plainly felt oil
over the city, many people being awakened.
The rolling mills arc 80 constructed that
tho men who operate them do their work
outside the buildings, which makes the
danger much less than 1t was years ago.
