At a picture sale in New York on Wednesday of last week Verestchagin's picture of Theodore Roosevelt, upon which the great Russian has been at work for nearly a year, was sold TOT s1S,Oo0. The dispatches represent it as "a picture of San Juan hilI," showing Colonel Roosevelt charging at the head oi his men. The comment on the safe of this painting is likely to revive a technical controversy which should be settled, for the sake of accuracy in his tory. Some writers consistently claim that the Rough Riders were not on San Juan hill proper, and others contend as vehemently that they were. However, to the great majority of American peo- pie it is doubtless of little consequence what the name of the hill was on which Roosevelt's brave followers showed their mettle.

Cranks, and Their Cures.

Besides the various forms of faith cure mankind is periodically offered the benefit of a new discovery which will banish disease from the world Often it is new form of water treatment, of which we have had a striking example in the case of Father Kneipp's meth ods. Some times it is a blue glass cure. At this moment there are two modes of cure which are struggling for the favor of the victims of real or imaginary maladies. The starvation cure was exploited by a Doctor Tanner many years ago, but it requires a de- gree of self-denial which few are able. to practice, and it was suffered to pass out of general interest This is re- garded as a good time to work it, the cost of living having increased some what in the past year or so. The rival doctrine is hardly less timely. It is the cold cure. and ranges from ex- posture to low temperatures to the talk ing of frozen foods into the system. One mode of treatment is to project a blast of cold air into the stomach.
 There is an interesting lesson in the fact that there is not one of these fan ciful cures but has it's proud record of many invalids raised from their sick beds. It is useless to deny that pa tients who had ceased to derive much benefit from the prescriptions of the physicians have recovered an enviable

The Short Session

Before the coming short session of congress is over the people O; the Unit d States are going to have new proofs )f'the desirability Of changing the date lf the terninations Of congresses and the inauGurations of presidents. March l is bad time for inauguration cere- monies, but it is q worse time for put ting an end to the term Cf house of representatives. Congress does not meet until December. It takes about two weeks off for the holidays That caves before the day of adjournment hardly time enough to attend to the
 outile appropriation bills and a great deal of very urgent legislation has to go over to the assembling O: the next congress.
 The operation of the present COnsti- CUtiOnal provision is tc virtually reduce the activities of congress to single term for general legislation and short meeting afterward to do routine work By changing the date of the inaugura- ton to May. as has been proposed. there would be added two months of active work to the life of each congress. md the results would be much better. Moreover prolongation of the present short term would enable congress Co more equally divide it's work and we would rot have the long session drawn out through the hot summer in Wash ington and important business either hurried through inconsiderately or else shelved, so that congressmen could get away from the capital during the dog days
 or the present congress the country expected currency reform. immigra ton restriction, a merchant marine bill. a revision of the mining laws of Alaska, an improved interstate law and the ad- mission of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma to statehood. It is now coubtfuI if any of those things will be achieved. Should anything occur to de- lay the routine appropriation bills it is well nigh certain that much highly desired legislation will have to b. postponed. It is for that reason an ex- tra session Of congress is now expected. but the calling together Of the new congress will but inadequately suffice to make up for the termina ton of the present one just at this iuncturc. for the new cannot take up the work just where te old leave off.-San Francisco Call.

BUSH FOR GOVERNOR.
Montgomery Republicans Think He

Montgomery, September 3.-(Spe-
cial)-A great deal of talk is being
INDUCED in in republican circles here
as to the probability that the republi-
can nominee for governor will be Col.
T. G. Bush of Birmingham. Colonel
Bush is considered by them as the
most available man in the state, hay-

party on the currency issue, and there
fore liable to draw democratic sup
port. He belongs to the aristocratic
circles of society, is rich and alto

PRAISE THE PRESIDENT
congratulates Americans That the
President Was Not Killed in the
Accident Yesterday Morning.

London, September 9.-The escape of
President Roosevelt has universally call
ed out in the London dailies congratu-
latory and eulogistic editorials and imam
imous expressions of Englands thankful
ness that the President was spared to his
country.
The Daily Telegraph says:
A singularly dramatic moment such as
this occurrence will confirm among the
mass of the American people the feeling
that Roosevelt is, in the best sense of a
once suspected word, their man of des-
tiny"
The Daily Chronicle says:
I'm range President Roosevelt is at
least Emperor Williams equal and in
solidity and depth he probably exoels
the German emperor. His life is one that
the world, no less than America, could
ill-afford to lose. Perhaps at no time
except during the civil war has the
United States been In greater need of a
statesman with the character and capa-
cities on which Roosevelt possesses pos
sesses than she is today"

MAY CALL LEGISLATURE
To Settle Strike of Miners In the An

here that Governor w. A. Stone indicated
to a few of his friends during his visit
here his purpose to call an extra session
of the Pennsylvania legislature and try
to end the anthracite strike.
The plan he proposes is a compulsory
arbitration law. Ample provision will be
made to compel both sides to accept the
award. The principal TO be involved is
that the general public rights are greater

Miners Strike.
REPORT OF COMMISSIONER
Carroll D. Wright Says This Strike Is
Outcome of Strike of 1900, When
the Operators Made Con-
cessions.

Washington, September s-Carroll D.
Wright commissioner of labor, was des-
ignated by the President In June last. to
investigate and report to him the causes
and conditions accompanying the present
controversy between the Pennsylvania
anthracite coal operators and their min
ers. Twelve days later Mr.. Wright sub
mitted his findings to the President.
After carefully going over the report
The President submitted IT to the attor-
ney general, who after giving it careful
consideration reports that the President
has absolutely no power to take action
in the matter. The report accordingly is
made public for the information of the
people.
Mr.. Wright conducted his investiga-
ton in New York being represented in
the coal regions by an experienced man,
who, he states. had studied the condi-
tlon in the coal regions, many times and
who undertook to make the necessary
inquiries relative to the present strike.
Varying Conditions.
Mr. Wright says he knows Of no strike
that has presented so many varying
ing complaints. The present strike, he
says, finds its root In the settlement Of
the strike In 1900 when the advance de-
manded by the miners was conceded
Since that time there has been increased
sensitiveness and more intense irritation
than during the previous % years. The
report recites what efforts were made to
secure a conference between the opera
tors and the miners before the present
strike was inaugurated and how they
failed and says from the first the eff
forts of the union leaders were directed
toward preventing a strike at this time,
that best it would result in
great hardship and suffering for the
miners and their families as we'll as
work incalculable injury to the industrial
of the country. Notwithstand-
ing these efforts the strike was order
ed by the Hazelton convention.

ONLY THREE KILLED.
Wreck on Mexican Central With Small
Casualties.

Mexico City, September "a Mexi'
can Central passenger train ran into
a washout before daylight Tuesday
morning at Bermejillo, state of Chi
huahua, Engineer Kreenick being
killed and several third-class passen-
gers injured. Details were hard to
secure owing to the fact that the
washout took place far from tele-
graph station and the work of rescue
of the unfortunate passengers occupied
the attention of everybody on the
train.
Wreclzing crews were at once dis
patched to the scene. The train which
met with the accident left this city
on Sunday night with large compile
ment of passengers, and the fact that
but one person met death in the wreck
is regarded as almost miraculous. 9th
ers who were injured escaped with
bruises and scratches.

STATEMENT OF
MRS. PERSON.

Mrs French Pierson and her two chill
dren were passengers on the car Accord
ing to the story of Mrs. Person an ef-
fort had been made by the passengers on
the car to have the motorman leave the
Campbell house just as the President 8
carriage passed by. This he refused to
do, saying he was running on schedule
time, and therefore he would not leave
earlier than that unless ordered to do so
by officers of the road. Mrs. Pierson says
she was DESTROYS of alighting at Crofut
street but did not for two reasons, the
first being that the car was going at such
a fast rate of speed that she saw she
could not signal the conductor in time to
stop, and secondly that the passengers
on the car seemed anxious to reach the
Country club before the President. She
then decided to continue on to the Coun-
try club and return on the same car AS
the car approached the Presidents car
riage she says, she saw the mounted
men say something to Driver Pratt, but
in the noise of the car and the ringing of
the gong she was unable to hear the
words spoken.

STATEMENT OF
EYE WITNESSES.

The car had started on the upward In
cline at the beginning OF the hill just
before the collision and It is pointed out
that considerable power must have been
applied just before the crash in order to
start it up the incline under the head
way 1t had. Frederick s. Clark who was
an eye witness of the accident, says he
had gone to the top of Howard hill for
the purpose of securing photograph Of
the President in his carriage. He was
near the Howard house, he says, when
he saw the party approaching. He saw
the horses as they turned from the west
to the east just before they reached
the culvert. The car he saw coming at
a fast rate of speed. but a short dis
lance behind. He says he saw that in a
moment an accident must occur because
the car was going at such a rate of
speed that 1t could not be brought to a
standstill without collision. In his opin-
ion the car was about 100 feet to the
rear when the leading horses were turn
ed onto the track to cross to the other
side Of the road. He heard considerable
yelling just before the crash and he be-
lieves it came from the mounted men.
He saw the car strike the rear wheel of
the Presidents carriage on the left side
ploughing 1t along and striking the front
wheel on the same side and then the
wheel horse on the left SIDE upsetting
the carriage and throwing the driver and
officer In the box to the ground.
Mr.. Clark says it was very dusty at
that point. He says he saw the President
thrown out on the left side and saw the
governor assisted to his feet. AS the
President arose to his feet. Mr.. Clark
says he saw him walk to where the
motorman was standing after leaving the
car and speak to him.

an unmistakable Identification of the
democratic party of Ohio with the demo-
cratic party Of the republic. That can be
done In coed faith Only by acknowledging
the authority OF the latest national ex-

pay the tribute OF its respect TO the great

declare our continued allegiance to the
democratic party of the nation, and on

WAS EXERCISING
EVERY CARE,

He says there were teams on both sides
of the track and he was exercising every
care to avoid an accident. In his opinion
the car was not running over eight miles
an hour; he received no warning to stop
and did not see the mounted men or
Governor Crane waving their hands, Ac-
cording to Maddens story there was
plenty of room for the Presidents car
riage to have passed on the west side of
the trolley track and he would have
plenty of time after he passed the Presi-
dents carriage before the turn was made
to the east side of the road. He said
the leading horses were turned short
across the track. He could not tell just
how the car struck the carriage, but he
says he reversed the power and went
for the brake just as quickly as possible
when he saw the horses turn on the
track. He said it was dusty and with
difficulty he saw what was going to
happen. He denies that any orders were
given to reach the Country club before
the Presidents party arrived there
The story of James Kelly the conduc-
tor, is much the same as that of Motor
man Madden as far as the schedule and
running arrangements were concerned.
He said he was collecting fares on the
west side of the car at the time of the
accident and was on the forward end OF
the running board at the moment of the
collision. He said no warning was given.

carriage was ahead of us. suddenly ms
attention was attracted by people rising
up in the front part Of the car, and
looked up the first just in time to see the

MY first thought was that the car
could be stopped to avoid a collision, but
in the next second 1 realized that this
was impossible.
Then the crash came, followed by

the President get UP from the wreck and
heard him declare he was uninjured anu
