Less Danger of a Flood,

Colder weather will prevent rush OF
water into the SusGuehanna. The
chances of flood on the Susquehanna
river seemed to be diminished last
night by the probabilities of cooler
weather which would cause freeze
and stop the sudden running of the
snow water. The weather map, how
ever, Weather Bureau Observer Dem
ain said, exhibited all sorts OF curious
streaks. Thus for instance line OF
temperature, forty degrees, ran uF
from Galveston, Texas, to Buffalo
N. Y. then turned and ran down tC
Louisville. KY. where it again loope(
and ran up to Portland, Maine.
Elsewhere West it was generally cool
er. with zero weather in the extreme
West.

Liquor Tax for Soda Water.

Commissioner Yerkes, of the inter-
nal revenue bureau, has given deci-
sion in which he rules that druggists
and others who sell soda water drinks,
claret soda or similar beverages to
which distilled spirit, wine or any
compounds thereof are added in any
quantity, however small, are required
to pay special tax as retail liquor deal
ers under the internal revenue laws.
Under the old ruling druggists
were allowed to add to soda water
and other soft drinks an inappreciable
quantity of distilled spirits or wines
for flavoring purposes. The former
ruling is revoked to take effect Janu-
AIRY I, 1908.
The commissioner also has decided
that producers of sweet wines, who
are not distllers, may withdraw wine
spirits grape brandy from special
bonded warehouses free OF tax to for
tify their wines.

From our Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent
Washington, December az, 1902.
The. democrats in Congress have
determined to give to the president
and his advisors free hand in deal
ing with the Venezuelan situation.
Thev say that they do not desire to
emharass the administration and, as
they are so much in the minority, II
would, in any event, be impossible
Tor them to force their views on their
opponents. At the same time, there ,
is strong undercurrent OF feeling IN !
the Capitol. 1t is believed that the
President is permitting his admiration
for Emperor William and King Ed
ward to outweigh his loyalty to the
Monroe Doctrine and that Venezuela
is the sufferer. While Secretary Hay
and Senator Cullom say that the
Monroe Doctrine will not be violated,
it is claimed by several democratic
statesmen that it is a condition and
not theory that contronts this
country and that the Doctrine was
violated by the sinking of the Ven
zuelan battleships and the firing on
La Guayra. The tendency of the
Secretary of State to truckle to Great
Britain has long been recognized and
it is believed that his advice to the
President is anything but sound.
XXX
This sentiment found expression IN
an executive session of the Senate on
Tuesday when Senator Teller de-
manded of Senator Cullom, chairman
= of the Committee on Foreign Rela.
tions, statement of the facts. This
Senator Culom adroitly avoided, bu'
/, assured his colleagues that there was
. every reason to believe that, at tht
instance of the United States, tht
Allies would submit their claims t'
e arbitration by the Hague in the nea
If future. AS there is no longer quorum
of the Senate IN Washington 1t wa
'e deemed advisable to postpone all con
n, gress.onal action, at least until afte
'e the holidays, with the hope that tn
predictions of the Senator fIor
10 Illinois might come true.

Senator Morgan is seeking to inter
est the War Department IN a project
which he hopes will go long way
towards settling the negro question
in the South. His idea is to colonlze
the negroes in the Philippine Islands
He would go so far as to give to each
head of family the traditional
.twenty acres" of land and would
furnish transportation to the islands.
He believes that in this way the South
could be relieved Of Its burden OF
negro citizens and the Philippines
would, perhaps, be benefited while
he is sure the negroes themselves
would be. There they could enjoy
citizenship and work out their own
salvation.

John Nash. retired manufacturer.
sixty-five years old and supposed TO be

most foolish thing. I had been his
lawyer for six or eight wears. but with
out asking n word Of advice he fell into
the hands Of a sharper When he was
approached by a promoter who was
striving 10 1Oat n gold mine i'm 4 South
American state and needed the infiu-
ence OF his name. the old man was flat
tered ana listened to the VOW OF the
tempter. The sharper pretended that
ne did not want any money from Nash.
The name Of John Nash ON a rrospec
tus rs an investor and shareholder
wOuld be a guarantee TO others. His
Lr>t aim. of course. was To convince the
old man that the mine i'm question was
n good thing. He did this by lies.
forged reports and false documents.
This duplicity could have been exposed
and the Swindler sent about his bust

lawyer. hut he determined 90 act on
hS own judgment
In order 20 give matters a business
look. rs he put il. the promoter whose
name was Philbrick. passed over 10000
shares To Nash at - per share and in
return required a promissory note due
in six months Then an agreement was
drawn up to the effect that the notes
should be invalid. This WAS to blind
other investors. In plain words John
Nash sold his name for those shares
and was assured over and over again
that his annual dividends would

willing confederate of swindlor. yet
I have had 10 give facts to make my
story clear
Nash was made TO believe that no one
else would suffer if he cot THIS stock

made out in duplicate. ana the OLD man
deposited his copy in the safe. PHI

making the most fiattcrinc reports
about the mine and everything went |
smoothly for n few weeks. Then. six /

they were compared. After the COM

whether he would Ice ready To pay the |

that the supposed contract was no con-
