THE CROzIER APPOINTMENT.
Senate Spent Nearly Entire Day in
Considering 1t.


Washington, June 13.-The Senate
spent nearly the entire day in consid-
ering the nomination of Capt. William
Crozier to be chief of the Bureau of
Ordnance. The principal speeches
of the day were made by
Senators Cockrell and Proctor, the
former favoring confirmation and the
latter opposing that course. Senator
Proctor declared that under the law
Capt Crozier was ineligible. Senator
Proctor also referred to the fact that
Capt. Crozier is the patentee of the
Burlington Crozier gun carriage, and
he and others who stood with him hold
that no officer possessing such an in
terest should be put at the head of a
bureau which controls the use of such
patents.
Senator Cockrell said the appoint
ment had been made because of the eX
ceptional fitness of Capt. Crozier for
the position and asserted that he was
in every way, personally and profess
sionally, worthy of the compliment
which the appointment implied.
Senators Warren, Foraker and Harris
also defended Crozier.
No action was taken to-day. Capt.
Crozier's confirmation is generally con-
coded by his opponents.

Atlanta, June 13.-Chairman E. T.

the state primary:
Atlanta, Ga, Tune II. 1902.
Hon. ]. H. Estill, Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir: Your communication dated
yesterday, June II, was received last
night, between and o'clock, and I
take the first opportunity to reply.
L note the following in your COM
munication: Il am quite we'll aware
Of the fact that the convention will
be the exclusive judge of the election
returns and qualifications of it's own
members, and am not asking you or
the committee this question"
fully concur with you in the fore
going. The only request you make is
as follows: "All I ask is that a recount
be ordered in the counties 1 have
named so that the convention will have
before it evidence upon which to act in
case of a contest over the seat of
sny county delegation"
In regard to this beg to say, that
l know of no law or party precedent
which would authorize or permit the
committee or me, as it's chairman to
order recount as requested by you
However, if you present me with any
law or party precedent, or submit any
sound reasons which would seem to in
dictate that the State Executive Com
nilttee, or its chairman, has any au-
thority, it will afford me pleasure to
take the sense of the entire committee
upon the question. Yours very truly,
(. T. Brown,
Chairman State Democratic Executive
Committee.

Minnesota Man Raising md Ship

recently made a shipment of reptiles
to the Dublin woman, Miss Annaa
Lewis by name. The consignment went
on the good ship Saxoina, sailing from
this port on May H. But the shade
of St. Patrick must have been hover
ing over the vessel, creating great
anguish of spirit in passengers, crew
and living cargo. The snakes were a
real Jonah, but one that could not be
pitched overheard.
just what happened on the trip is not
a part of recorded history. 1t is known
that when the crew learned there was
a box of snakes in the hold of the ves-
sci. bound for Ireland, there was spir-
it Of mutiny stalking abroad. 1t is also
known that on May q the New York
agent of the United States Express
Company wrote this letter to the Min
nesota snake breeder:
please take note that the steamship
company advises us that they will not
receive any more of this property. 1t
is possible we can arrange with some
other steamship line, but the Liverpool
lines say they positively viii not ac-
cept property OF this character"
The letter of the express company
to the shipper was elected by a let

Washington. June Ex-senator Till
man made strong and an impressive
appeal to the Senate to-day for a

During the morning hour he took oc-

MINE OWNERS MAKE TERMS.
Miners Accept 9-HOur Day and Pay
Every Two Weeks and VIII Re
turn to Work.

Charleston, w. Va, June 13.-Capt. j.
X Thompson, United States marshal,
disclaims any responsibility for the
presence of his deputies at Collins col
liery company at Glen Jean, and says
if they are there, it is as private citi-
zens and upon their own responsibility.
The operators, it is said, asked Thomp-
son to enforce the injunction issued in
1897, but he declined. 1t applies to five
or six collieries and is directed to Fred
Dilcher, Eugene Debs, Chris Evans
and several others and their "associ-
ates, confederates, agents and pro-
moters." Mr.. Evans is the only
one mentioned that is here now. He
is making no effort to violate the or
der. 1t is the general opinion here that
the injunction issued in 1897 is not OPP
erltive in this instance. Thompson has
written the deputies that they were not
representing his department.
The Mile Branch Company has made
concessions reducing the price of pow
der, allowing a 9-hour day and pay
every two weeks. The men voted to-
day to return to work. The granting of
concessions by the Hooking Valley and
Mile Branch operators, it is believed,
will put new face on the strike in that
section. 1t is the first break of the
operators to get their men to return
to work and other operators will prob
ably follow their example.

AS matter of fact, society is a
treadmill. For those like Mrs stuy-

ceaseless rotation continues from years
end to years end. To falter is to slip
back. To halt is to drop out. The sea-

with the Horse Show in November. BY
that time the clans that have been
scattered during the summer have
opened their town houses and are pre-

Show week is marked by more or less
informal dinner parties and more or
less riotous supper parties. Following
the Horse Show comes the Introduction

more fortunate, balls and dances are
given; but the great majority make
their bows at afternoon teas. This,
too, is the season of autumn weddings,

For three months there is an ever-in-

terrific, and how any except those of

COST OF FOOD.

A family figured carefully on the cost

strength and health that Grape-Nuts
furnished. The report is interesting.
1--WE first took up Grape Nuts be-
cause it agreed with me so well. I was
suffering from dyspepsia that medicine
did not relieve. I frequently laughed
at the idea when some of my friends
told of the use of Grape-Nuts; how
ever. one day wife bought a package
and we found it good and it agreed
with me.
We were accustomed TO using white
bread and oats, wheat or barley mushes
boiled from two to four hours. We con-
sidered Grape-Nuts too expensive, but
I noticed that when I had a breakfast
of Grape-Nuts I felt fine, and other
DAYS when white bread and other ce-
reals were used felt weak and bloated.
one day about six months ago / said
to Wife: I am satisfied that Grape
Nuts is the thing that makes me feel
better in between the blue spells
Then we sat down and figured awhile
on the cost of living and came to the
conclusion that we could live better and
happier on fifteen cents cents worth OF
Grape-N Nuts than on twenty-five cents
worth Of white bread or cooked ar

Oublin. June bat the instance of
lord DeFreyne, a writ has been is
sued against a large number of the
members of the Irish parliamentary
marty on the charge of conspiracy in
connection with the tenant troubles
on the DeFreyne estate, Roscommon
county. Among the defendants are John
Redmond, John Dillon, w. H. O'Brien,
Judge Swift MacNeill, Conner O'Kelly
and the members of the standing COM

which includes Michael Davitt and a
number of former members of Par

PENDANT
Lord DeFreyne seeks an injunction
and damages.
Altogether. thirty writs have been
issued in the DeFreyne action. The
action is really taken by the Land
lords Association, and it is the begin
ming of a struggle of the organized
landlords against the United Irish
League, which is likely to be severe
and far reaching as the landlords have
ample backing.
John Redmond, in an interview, to-
night frankly admitted that this was
the biggest move the landlords, with
the support of Dublin Castle, had vet
undertaken against the Irish National
movement. He said he regarded the De-
Freyne action as evidence of recogni-
ton of the fact that the attempt of
Mr.. Wyndham, the chief secretary for
Ireland, to suppress the United Irish
League had failed and that in his
mind there was no doubt that Dublin
Castle was an active ally in the pros.
ecutions. Mr.. Redmond was equally
confident of the issue.
He said:
The Irish leaders may be imprisoned
for indefinite periods and their prop
erty may be attached. yet ultimately
the Irish cause will triumph"

Col Sanderson, a Conservative mem
Der of the House of Commons and lord
lieutenant of County Cavan, in an in
teryiew on the subject, said:
Yes, an organized attack must be
met by organized action, and the Irish
landlords have now resolved to take
such action. The same course will be
followed wherever they are attacked
by the league. l am happy to say that
there are sufficient funds behind the
landlords to fight any battles which
may arise"

Seph II. Wheeler, H. Clay Evans, the
newly appointed consul general of the
United States in London, and ex-Con-
gresham English of Indiana, at which
many representative Americans and
Englshmen were present. The dinner
was originated by Lindsey Russell,
and his first idea was to confine the
guests to Americans in London, who
came from the Southern States alone.
but the idea was gradually enlarged
until the hosts sent invitations to
Americans from all parts of the Unit
ed States and the guests of the even
ing included many prominent English
men.
The dinner was followed by speeches
and toasts, and many tributes were
paid to those present. King Edward
and President Roosevelt were toasted
with much enthusiasm. Responding to
toast, Gen. Wheeler said that the
United States could never forget the
debt of gratitude they owed Great
Britain for the latter's attitude at
the time of the Spanish-American war.

FRENCH LINES FEEL HURT.
Although Mr.. Morgan Was In Paris
He Did Not Attempt to Get Them
in the Combine


in the Combine.
London, June 14.--In dispatch from
Paris, the correspondent there of the
Times gives the substance of a long
conversation held with an eminent au
thority on French steamship naviga-
ton, on the subject of the Atlantic
shipping combine. Comment is made
upon the fact that j. P. Morgan had
been in Paris, but that he had made
no effort II see the Messageries Mari
times, the Compagnie Generate Trans
Atlantique or any other steamship
company. although he had been noti-
fed through the United States embassy
at Paris of the willingness Of these
companies to talk with him.
The authority named said he con-
sidered the shipping combine to lie
aimed at France and the other coun-
tries not included in It. He com
planned that the French lines had al
ready suffered enormously from COM
petition; that competition had reduced
their profits, and that consequently
the efforts of Mr.. Morgan will compel
the French government to take active
measures to protect French shipping.
