The report from Birmingham's Chief
Of Police that there were 1881 arrests
in that city during 1901 will be looked at
in entirely different lights by different
readers. The enemies of Birmingham
will take it as an evidence of the great
number of criminals and lawbreakers in
that city. and they will have strong
ground for their opinion. The friends of
the city will take it as an evidence of
the efficiency of the Birmingham police
and they will also have a good argument.
Which is right? Or are both correct?

DOESN'T FEAR FOR CANAL.
Commission Believes Volcanic Forces
Present No Real Danger.
Washington special to Baltimore Sun.

Washington Special to Baltimore Sun.
The effect of the upheavals in Marti-
nique and adjacent islands upon the con-
struction of an isthmian canal and the
possibility that volcanic conditions may
prevail on the iSthmus dangerous to the
maintenance of any canal route have been
discussed by scientists here.
Both canal commissions went thorough
ly into this subject and reached the con-
clusion that there was no practical dam
ger to be apprehended. The Nicaraguan
route as compared to the Panama shows
81 eater possibilities of destruction from
volcanic eruption. because several dor
mant volcanoes lie near Lake Nicaragua
and have recently shown signs of activ-
ity. The last Nicara guam Canal Commits
sion treats OF the seismic influences along
the proposed route as follows
"F.om the most reliable data obtain
able the Commission believes that the ca
nal region is practically exempt from any
seismic influences of sufficient force to
cause destruction or danger to any part
of this canal route or suspension of traf-
fc. DIR. C. w. Hays has treated this

question fully in his report. He says that
earthquakes due to dislocation of strata
are. perhaps. no more liable to occur in
than elsewhere, and hence they do not
constitute a danger which is peculiar to
that region more than to any other in
which a ship canal will be constructed
He then proceeds to discuss those peculiar
to volcanic agencies, concluding that the
activities are on the wane and so remote,
from the route Is not to contain men
ace. Briefly. then. the risk of serious in
jury by earthquake to the construction
of the Pacific section of the canal is so
small that it ought to be neglected The
risk on the Atlantic is still smaller"

Better for Both.

Roanoke Leader.
In conversation the other day with
successful farmer and one of the best
citizens of the county,. he remarked that
1t was only a question of time till the
supply system, with its two prices on
long credit, would become a thing of the
past. And why not? Hasn't it outlived
its usefulness-if it ever had any?
Wouldn't it be better for both farmer
and merchant in the long run?

VENEZUELA IN HARD STRAITS.
Evidence That Rebels Are Gaining on

Washington, Sept 29-The following cable dispatch has been received here from Minister Bowen, dated at Caracas, yesterday:
 Have been reliably informed that the government will probably cut all the cable lines this week. Therefore l sug- gest the dispatch to this point of war ships ill case communication is inter rupted.
 The dispatch is interpreted as show ing conditions unfavorable to the gov ernment of Venezuela; as. except in the event that the tide has turned strongly against it, it is thought here there would be no desire on its part ot pre- vent the news of the daily happenings in the campaign from reaching the out side world.
 l As for the warships requested, the Montgomery is already under orders to go to the Colombian coast from Haytl. Later on the San Francisco and the !, Olympia will be available if needed on 1 the Venezuelan coast.

sHIPPIyG COMBINATION.
A Conference of the Interests Identified

New York, Sept. 29.-A conference of the interests identified with the propOs- ed international shipping combine was held to-day at the offices of J. P. Nor gan & Co. These present included Sir Clinton E. Dawkins, Charles Steele and George w. Perkins. of the Morgan firm, P. A. B. Widener. W. J. Pirrie and Henry Wilding, the latter Of the Ley land Steamship line.
 Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, of the British navy, was a party to the conference for brief time. When questioned the admiral said that his views regarding the combination were generally known. He had not been asked to participate in any conference and his visit to Mir. Morgan, he said, was only casual. He did discuss the subject ochand with some of the gen. tlemen named, but could say nothing for publication. One of Mr. Morgan's partners said this afternoon: There will be no statement about the shipping combination to-day"

Stormy Scenes In Front of Osborn Hall -Thousands Heard Mrs. Nations Re. marks-she Called President Roose- welt Names and Was Ifissed-Left Town Last Night En Route for Maine.

Carrie Nation of KioWa. and later Of Wichita, Kan, visited New Haven yes terday She went at once to the New Haven house and registered. The fa- nous wielder of the hatchet then locat- ed the mayors office and asked for a permit to speak to the Yale students. She was directed to the crief of police. Chief Wrinn gave her the desired per mission and she journeyed to Osborn hall steps. From this vantage point, the speaker delivered her remarks. She announced that she had come to New Haven at the special request of the Jolly Eight" which organization is composed of eight well known Yale men, most of whom are athletes. Mrs. Nation had a crowd of 2,500 people list ening to her in less than two minutes. The students came running from all sections of the city and campus. Towns people vfed with the students in their efforts to get a glimpse of the noted ! woman and to hear her repartee with the students.
 Mrs. Nation was dressed in white duck and wore a long linen duster. She is a portly woman and has "strenu- ous" voice She has small nose, wears spectacles and has 8 chin that Is | full of force and determination, while l the mouth denotes the fighting tenaclty for which she is famous.
 l She introduced herself as the loving home defender: the universal mother" and told the boys they needed nothing Sc much as they did mother. She said "I got a letter from the Jolly Eight of Yale inviting me to come and ad- dress them. They say they don't smoke or drink" At this juncture hundred Yale voices struck up Here's to Good Old Yale, Drink Her Down." Mrs. Ma ton shouted back That's not the "Jol- ly Eight It's the saloon crowd ot Yale They told me to talk to the old soaks and trv to save them. l said mo.

Every flood gate has been opened to ruin you young men, Here the crowd broke loose with Good Morning, Carrie" She waited till they were through and said: Wherever I go the devil seems to pop up somewhere.

Head of Ticket Alone in Doubt-Plats
 form to Ignore Money Question.
 Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 2s.-The simul- taneous arrival in the afternoon of five big trainloads of democrats, mainly from Greater New York, added to theS coming in of\ the regular trains, on which were many more partisans, has tonight filled the streets and hotels of Saratoga.
 The situation as to the state ticket all depended this evening entirely on the selection of governor and lieuten- ant-governor, and awaited a final de- cision as to those two offices. If Judge Parker was nominated and decided to. accept, the ticket, it is thought, would read:
 For governor, Alton B. Parker, of Ul- ster; for lieutenant-governor, Randolph Guggenheimer, of New York; for seo- retary of state, Duncan Lee, of Ithaca; for attorney-general, John Cunreen, of Erie; for comptroller, James H. Man. ming, of Albany; for engineer, R ". Sherman, of Utica; for judge sd court of appeals, John c. Gray, of New York.
 The discussion to-day and tonight over the governorship has been curl- ous. Senator Hill is quoted as saving that Judge Parker must not be consid- cred but Senator McCarren and MT Shevlin, of Kings, have been persist ently urging delegates to stand firm for: Parker, saying that if the judge was nominated he could not decline. All this seemed to indicate that Bird S. Coler was out of the race, but tonight l wagers were freely ocered that he would be the nominee of the party, and John c. Stanchfield who is to be tenn porary chairman, tonight said: Judge Parker will not run the logical candidate is Coler. At the last mo-. ment Senator Hill, who has been given some power in the matter, will declare for Coler, and Hugh Mclaughlin will aid hin.' | It was learned upon the best author- Iity tonight that the party platIoFa will contain no allusfon to the money question, and it is believed that all ob-- jections to this course will be With- drawn.
 Saratoga, N. Y. Sept. 29.-Three inn
 portant facts were developed with re-
 gard to the democratic state conven-
 ton at midnight. First, one of Judge
 Parker's particular friends, brought the
 judges absolute refusal to accept a
 nomination for the governorship even if
 given by exclamation. Second, Hugh
 Mclaughlin of Brooklyn arrived and took charge of the Kings county dele
 gates in favor of Bird S. Coler, and
 third a strong sentiment developed to-
 ward making Senator Hill the candi- date.
