cial assistance was sent to the striking

miners in each field. All Of these men
who will receive this aid are not members
OF the union, but the organization will
take care Of all those on strike and their
families whether they carry union cards or
not.
Mr. Wilson does not expect large public
donations to arrive for several days yet,
as some time will be required to get the
machinery for making systematic collec-
tions in operation.
President Mitchell spent a busy day at
his ONCE here. attending to ONCE business
that had accumulated during his absence.
He said he would probably start for
Wilkesbsrre Wednesday afternoon. His
stay In the east this time will be until
the strike is won.

at 0,0O0 900. but how far these are based
on mere speculation 1t Is impossible to
determine. However. in legal circles 1t
Is considered a nice point whether the
British government is not entitled to

domiciled in England Then a death duty
will have to be placed on all the testator's
investments in English securities, so the
chancellor of the exchequer calculates on
making a handsome haul out of his es-
tate, as Mackay's English investments are
said to be nearly $4,000, ,OO0
His friends declare that four years ago,
foreseeing a prospect of his estate being
mulcted by the English treasury, owing
to his wife being domiciled here, he as
signed to her the greater part Of the for
tune he intended to bequeath to her, in
Guiding his English Investments, and that
the balance OF his fortune goes to his son.

M'LAURIN REFUSES OFFICE
Senator Turns Down Oner Made by
President of Vacancy on
Court of Claims.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 21.-This was
the quietest weekday at Sycamore Hill
since the president arrived. No visitors
came during the early part of the day and
none was scheduled to come later. Presi-
dent Roosevelt passed the morning in his
library with Secretary Loeb, attending to
an accumulation of public business.
President Roosevelt is In receipt Of a
letter from Senator John L. McLaurin OF
South Carolina, declining the proffered
appointment to the vacancy on the United
States court OF claims. The president 1t
can be said, very much regrets this de-
cision, as he believes McLaurin's senatorial
experience would have made him a good
addition to the court OF claims.
The president is now uncertain what he
will do about Senator McLaurin, 1t Is
understood that he is anxious to appoint
him to some position in recognition of
what the president regards as his services
to the country and his demonstrated abil-
ity in public life. Senator McLaurn's let
ter is couched in the most positive terms
and evidently was based in particular upon
a newspaper article which accompanied the
letter.
The article said the senator had sold him

regards such a type of accusation as be-
meath notice, and sincerely regrets that
Senator McLaurin should have deemed 1t
necessary to pay any attention to 1t. Sen
ator McLaurin evidently has changed his
opinion about accepting the proffered ap-
pointment since he was in Oyster Bay on
July IL. At that time he indicated his
readiness to accept the vacancy on the
court of claims and the only question then
was when he should resign from the SEN
ate.
Mrs. w. s. Cowles, a sister OF the presi-
dent. and wife Of Commander Cowles OF
the navy, arrived at Sycamore Hill tonight.
She will be the guest OF the Roosevelt fam
lily for some time. Secretary Shaw is ex-
pected to visit the president some time
this week, but the date is not announced.
When the president goes to Sea Girt on
Thursday to visit the camp Of the New
Jersey National Guard he will be accom-
panied by Mrs Roosevelt, Miss Alice Roose-
welt, Mrs. Cowles and several other women.

MISSISSIPPI NOW FALLING
Height of Flood r. Reached and

KEoKUK, Ia, July 21.--The height Of
the food in the Mississippi river was
reached today south Of here. The river fell
an inch and a half at Keokuk today, and
the fall will reach southern points by to-
morrow but a rise OF a foot or more in the
vicinity .: Canton, Quincy, LAGRANGE and
Hannibal today carried the water over thou
sands Of acres previously uninjured.
The highest water is believed to be at
LAGRANGE and Gregory, where the water
on Sunday was we'll below the rails Of the
st. Louis, Keokuk & Northwestern rail-
way on the bank of the river Today a
food is pouring over the tracks and reach
ing to the steps Of the coaches. This rise
extended the food clear back to the high
lands at the foot of the hluffs. The road
bed is superb and trains are delayed only
by slow speed while running through the
water.
The rise today took out some more wheat

its butts in water Extension Of the flood
increased the total damage to a large
amount in dollars. although not a very
great increase in percentage over the pre-
vious damage. The farmers are inclined
to report much higher figures than a few
days ago, but estimates Of $4,000, 900 to
S6,000,000 in Missouri along the seventy
miles of river frontage are conservative.
