HAS LOCATED HEAVEN.
California Scientist Makes Startling
Announcement.

Los Angeles, Nov. 24.-Dr. Stephen
Bowers, examiner of the state min
ing bureau, geologist, astronomer ana
believer in the inspiration OF the
Scriptures, at a meeting Of the Church
OF the Nazarine this evening announc-
ed that he had discovered the loca-
ton of heaven, and that it is a "con-
cave abutting sphere" A sensational
scene followed. By many OF those
present the doctors dictum was hail
ed as the greatest revelation made
since the new era dawned.
DR.. Bowers said he had submitted
his theory to five learned pedagogues,
and they have been unable to contro-
vert him. The gentlemen are: Prof.
E. r. Barnard, Prof. w. F. Burnham
of Chicago, Prof. c. A. Young, OF the
Princeton observatory, Prof. James b.
Keller and Prof. Simon Newcomb, OF
the naval observatory at Washington
d. C.
The lecture has been prepared by
DR.. Bowers, after Ia years study, ne
says. DR.. Bowers quotes the Hebrew
word: 'Galgal," translated "Heav'
en-" literally a wheel, expressing a
rotary movement and the Latin go
| leum'' (Heaven) showing that the pri
mary notion is a covered vaulted
| space akin to our word hollow He
| declares there must be matter out
| side the heavenly planets to keep then
in their places IL they would shoo'
off into space.

AFTER VENEZUELA.
England and Germany Both Contem-
plae R%eprisaIs.

plde nePTiSaiS.
London, Nov. 24.-Great Britain is
contemplating serious reprisals
against Venezuela. The Associated
Press also is informed that Great
Britain is acting with Germany in all
matters relating to the present state
of affairs to Venezuela. Whether the
contemplated action will be in the
form of a joint naval demonstration,
accompanied by or following the sew
crane of diplomatic relations, is a
matter now being discussed in Berlin
and London. There is reason to be-
lieve that the British government has
either been officially or otherwise in
formed that the United States will not
intervene in any demonstration hav-
ing the object of protecting property
rights of British citizens or their in
terests in Venezuela.
The Venezuelan protest against the
action of the British sloop-of-war Fan
time in entering the Orinoco river in
spite of the blockade has now been
received by the British foreign office,
but it is only one of many which have
been coming in for the past month.
A foreign office official said to a rep
resentative of the Associated Press:
"We regard this latest publication
as merely an endeavor to up
the real issues and blind the eyes Of
other nations to Il frequent de-
mands for an explanation Of and re-
paration for the treatment of British
subjects and their property. We have
received absolutely no satisfaction.
The Venezuelan situation appears alb
~solutely hopeless. We see nothing for
it but the most serious measures"
The presence of a German squadron
in the Caribbean sea, it is believed,
to some extent may be connected
with possible joint action on the part
of Great Britain and Germany.

SALT LAKE MINISTER'S OPPOSED
TO APOSTLE SMoOT.
DON'T WANT HIM IN SENATE
Pass Resolutions and Start Campaign
Which They Hope Will Defeat
His Election.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 25.-The
ministerial alliance of Salt Lake has
adopted resolutions strongly oppos-
ing the proposed election to the Unit
ed States senate Of Reed Smoot, Il
of the - apostles of the Mormon
church. A copy of the resolutions
will be sent to every ministerial alli-
ance of prominence in the country and
also to President Roosevelt. every
congressman and United States sen
ator and others prominent in political
life.
The resolutions in part follow:
We protest this endeavor to elect
| Apostle Smoot to the United States
| senate as an endeavor to force upon
the citizens Of Utah a union OF the
church and state. The election OF a
man who holds the highest Office save
one in the gift OF the Mormon church
to the highest office save one in the
gift of the people of Utah or the Unit
ed States, would be a menace to our
civilized and religious beliefs. No 9th,
err church has dared to attempt such
an ecclesiastical invasion of con.
gress.
The election of Apostle Reed Smoot
for the United States senate Would
virtually be the election Of the viii
of the Mormon first presidency and l:
apostles to hat body. AS a consisten
member of the Mormon apostolaGt
Smoo. cannot make an importan'
move without getting permission O
taking counsel of the quorum OF MOI
mon high priests to which he belongs
By virtue of his apostolic vows HI
must act first as a Mormon apostle
and second or third as a citizen o
Utah and a patriotic American.
We protest because the majority o
the Mormon ap~ostolate, to which III
belongs, and with which he works il
harmony, are living in polygamou'
relations in violation of covenant:
made to the people of the United
States, as we'll as in violation of tn
criminal statutes of Utah. The tw'
or three apostles who may be livin'
homogeneous lives are obliged to dc
fend the righteousness of the polyga
nous system of marriage and to win
at the lawbreaking polgamous rels
ton of their fellow apostles. TIL
Norman apostolate stands as on
; man before the community as directl
or indirectly encouraging or conniN
. ing at the continuance of polygamou
t relations throughout the MormO
/ church. The vigorous and rigorou
| execution of a law like the Edmunds
Tucker law in this state would driv
the president of the Mormon churc
and the majority of his apostles int
exile or throw them in prison With
t IL months and Apostle Smoot dare no
! oppose such polygamous conditions.

Pittsburg, Nov. 24.-Resultant large
ly from his recent visit to Plttsburg,
James Etvi N. Tata, the millionaire
manufacturer of Bombay, has arrang-
ed to go ahead with an ron and steel
development in the Chanda district,
central province of India, which VIII
involve an expenditure of more than
$4,000, 600.
Julian Kennedy, the air blast

Helm, formerly connected win the
Carnegie Steel company, Will SAIL LOT
India within a few days for the our
nose of taking up the preliminary
work, 1t is planned to start the
erection of plants within three months.
Mr.. Tata anticipates that India VIII
in the near future be Independent OF
the world for supplies in iron ana
steel. Much OF the $4,000 miles OF
railroad in India is laid with iron rails
and within two years these will be
replaced with steel.
The development OF the Chahoa
iron ore deposits, most OF which are
very rich, will, through the initiative
of this merchant prince of India, lead
to the springing up of car Shops
furnaces and a large variety OF IRON

MINNEAPOLIS MEN ARRESTED
AS STAMP THIEVES.
ACTIONS WERE SUSPICIOUS
Believed to Be Connected With the
Big Chicago Robbery Of
Last Year.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Under guard of
central station detectives and United
States secret service men, two men,
said to be brothers, were held pris-
oners all last night in a room at the
Wyoming hotel on Clark street. They
are believed to be the men. or, at
least, members Of the gang that rob
bed the Chicago postoffice last year
of stamps and money to the value of
500, 900.
The detectives yesterday recovered
$4,000 in postage stamps. still in the
sheets as they came from the Unit
ed States engraving department. AL
though the police refuse to discuss
their haul, tell-tale marks on these
sheets are said to prove that the
stamps are part of those taken in the
big robbery Of October Fl, last year.
The men, both Of whom are said to
have held responsible positions in Chi
cago at the time of the p%ostoffice rob
berry, arrived in Chicago Friday. They
registered at the Wyoming as E. H.
and E. B. Fuller of Minneapolis, and
said they were brothers.
On Saturday f. H. Fuller, who
formerly was employed with A. Booth
& Co., is said to have approached
members of that firm and endeavored
to dispose of 81, 500 worth of postage
stamps. The firm, suspecting that all
was not right, notified Inspector
Stuart, who at once detailed detec'
tives on the case. In the meantime
mysterious kilograms were almost
hourly being received at the hotel
These Chief Clerk Charles B. Gomez
on the advice of Inspector Stuart, in
~tercepted and turned ever to the de
t%ectives.
The messages were from a third per
son. who signed only his first name
and told of having disposed OF the
:'swag' and of being westward-bount
with a big sum of money to be divid
ed.
The last telegram received was dat
ed a short distance east of Chicago
and stated that the writer would ar
rive here Sunday morning.
Upon receipt of this message thu
force OF detectives at the hotel wa
doubled. Yesterday afternoon
stranger approached the desk, loohe'
carefully over the register and, OF
scanning the page containing tr.
days arrivals, registered his name
He had no baggage aside from a smal
handbag, which he placed CAREFUL
on the counter.
In paying his bill in advance he dis
played a large roll of money, tn
smallest bill in which, Clerk Come
declares was of a $40 denomination
The man seemed laboring under som
excitement and, after glancing aroun
the hotel lobby, picked up his satche

Shortly afterward the two Fuller
came down stairs. They hurrie
over to the register and glanced Owe

BROUGHT TO LIGHT AS A PRESl-
DENTAL CANDIDATE.
WILLIAMS BOOM STARTED
The Illinois Congressman Is Now Be-
ing Groomed by His Friends
in Egypt.

Chicago, Nov. 24-Democratic news
papers of southern Illinois are Doom
ing Congressman James Roberts Will
liams of Carmi, White county, for the
democratic presidential nominee in
1904. The White county Democrat
sounded the first trumpet for Will
liams and the Springfield Register
joins in the refrain. Congressman
Champ Clark of Missouri, also Sec
onds the nomination.
Friends of Bob" Williams, as he
is Familiarity known in Egypt, say his
run against Pleasant T. Chapman of
Vienna, was phenomenal and puts him
in line for high honors as representa-
tive of the Illinois democracy. The
Williams district was cut out by the
1901 apportionment as a republican
territory, Senator Chapman having
engineered the g~errylnander with
| particular reference to his w can.
didacy as Williams opponent. The
| Williams district gave Mckinley a
| plurality of 1882 in 1900, but Will
liams carried it November 4 by near
ly 800.
The same territory in 1892 was car
ried by Fifer for governor by 1,72O,
by Tanner in 1896 by 1923 and by
| Whittemore for state treasurer in
1898 by 1900. The district includes
Clay, Edwards, Pope, Saline, Wayne
and White counties.
Congressman Williams served in the
ffty-flrst, ~fifty-second, ffty-third, ff-
ty-sixth and fifty-seventh congresses
and in 1900 was chairman of the ILL
nois delegation to the Kansas City
convention. He was slated as ILL
nois member Of the committee on
resolutions, but was shifted to the dele
cation craftsmanship to make O for
Carter H.. Harrison, who was named
on the resolutions committee, and
who, like Williams, was a delegate
at large to the democratic national
convention. Congressman Williams
graduated from the University of In
diana and the Union College Of Law,
Chicago, and has practiced law at
Carmi ever since 1876. He also has
served as master in chancery and
county judge in White county. For
years he has been one of the best
known democratic leaders in southern
Illinois.
It was taken for granted by the
republican state bosses that Viii
liams would be defeated from his
gerrymandered district, although the
Williams, Kern and Smith districts
in southern Illinois were regarded by
democrats as doubtful territory. Sen
ator Chapman made a desperate cam
paign and was backed by a strong
organization, but Williams popularity
among the agricultural and union la

not overcome.

THE MERGER in MEAT
THE swIFr-ARMouR COMBINE
The Packing interests OF the Coun-
try Now Relieved to BE in

Il Chicago, July 26.- That the deal to
merge the Swift and Armour interests has
been completed was the current belief in
La Sale street to-day and was given as
the reason for a sudden rise In Swift
stock. That stock rose to $50 on the local
market and two points higher in Boston.

eagerly snatched up, the price advancing
in the face of the sales .sg
According to the information current
among the brokers that are supposed to
be on the inside each share of the pres
ent Swift stock will be exchanged for two
shares of pre- ferred and one of common In
the new combine.
G. F. Swift will be at the head of the
merged interests,it Is said, this induce
ment having been held out to him in order
to win him over to the merger idea. which
he has hitherto opposed. Mr.. Swift. and
his son, Louis F. Swift, returned to Chi
cago to-day from st. Paul where they
have been negotiating for the control OF
the stock yards there. .@ri> * =
When the two great companies started
out some time ago to secure control OF
the Independent companies, 1t was with

cured control of the Anglo-American COM

All the smaller packing firms have been

companies, as they have all along, refuse
