rations For Campaign.
Eureka, Sept. 30.-The Democrats of
Eureka precinct met in the county
court house. last night and nominated
Thomas Burns for justice Of the peace
and Con Hamilton for constable, Both
are the present ineumbents of the Of
fees to which they were nominated.
A precinct committee of nine members,
representative workers in the party,

ton day. The committee is counting
on a grand rally on the occasion Of
Mr.. Bryan's coming and will make
an effort TO secure State Chairman Can

nominated by the Republicans at Ne
phi. yesterday, is a very weak one
and several old time members of the
party here viii not support it. 1t is
generally understood that the princi-
pal efforts OF the party workers will
be directed 10 the election Of the
member of the legislature, I. H. Grace.
Many of them feel like baking at
that, however. because il is known that
Grace is for Apostle Smoot for the

THE SITUATION Is
NOT ALARMING

COnstantinople. Sept S0.-Dipiomatic
circles here do nOI regard the situa-
ton in Macedonia as being so serious
as would appear from the Turkish
governments military preparations in
calling out 10000 men of the militia re-
serves. The porte's alarm is partially
attributed to the maneuvers and other
incidents of the Shipka Pass fetes, the
political importance of which, how
ever, is considered to have been great
ly exaggerated, in view of the ap-
proach ofgthe winter when the move
ments will necessarily be stopped. It
is not thought that the threats of the
Macedonian committee viii foment a
general revolution or develop into any
thing very serious.

TO the eX-Queen for the loss of the
crown lands.
One day was devoted by the senators
TO a visit 10 the volcano of Kiiauea
The committee returned to Honolulu
Sunday. Almost the whole of Monday
was devoted TO a consideration of the
fire claims matter. Testimony was
heard as to the origin, progress and
incidents of the bubonic plague cpl
demic and the efforts made to end it.
1t is expected that the commission
will complete its work here Sept %,

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo. Sept.
30.-The committees in charge Of
the arrangements for the tenth
national irrigation congress, which
convenes here Oct. 6, have received en-
couraging reports which promise a
large attendance of noted men from all
parts Of the country. Large delega-
tons from the commercial clubs Of
Omaha and St. Paul viii come in pri-
vate cars. New Mexico, Texas, Wyo-
ming, Kansas and Nebraska cities will
also send large delegations. The sub
1eets TO be handled, affecting as they
do the proper expenditure of $4,000 900
or public money now available and the
proceeds from future land sales for the
reclamation of millions of arid acres
and the making Of homes for millions
OF people now crowded in the cities,
have attracted the highest minds of
the nation from captains of industry
to the leaders of the labor organiza-
tons. Letters of endorsement Of the
possibilities of the congress are pouring
in every day from these people. One
notable communication was received
today from John w. Ella, the prominent
lawyer and civil service apostle of
Chicago. In part, it was as follows:
No project of equal Importance has
been launched in fifty years. The ac-
ton OF congress has transformed our
dream of two years ago into a concrete
system. The vital thing now is that
those who shall be engaged in its exc
cution shall realize that the scheme is
now at its practical stage and shall so
manage the work and apply the funds

ing the responsibility at our request.

A TRUST REGULATOR
Congressman jenkins of Wisconsin
Comes to the Front.

Washington, Sept. .13.-The announce
ment Of the appointment by President
Roosevelt: Of Representative George w.
Ray, of New York to be a federal judge
in that state "Opens the way for the pro-
motion of Representative John J.. Jenk-
ms of Chippewa Falls, Wis, to be chair
man Of the committee on the judiciary Of
the house of representatives. 81
Judge Jenkins is the author of a plan
for a constitutional amendment for the
federal control of trusts. He is one mem
not believe that federal law can be suffi-
GENTLY exercised under the Sherman law.
He also believes that the states are pow
erless unless they would all act in unison.
The essence of the suggestions made
from time to time by the president re-
garding trust legislation carries the infer
ence that the corporations commonly
known as trusts, can be reached only
when they are made amenable to federal
laws by being Incorporated solely under
federal authority, and subject to the In
spection, attending publicity, and If
necessary, taxation, at the hands Of fed
eral authority.
This would, require an amendment of
the federal constitution to carry out to
the fullest possible extent the power au-
thorized in the constitution for control by
congress of interstate trade. The con-
stitutional amendment suggested by Mr..
Jenkins does all of this. It provides for
the control by congress of all corporations
and gives power to congress for their
regulation and dissolution.
The democratic party, under Mr.. Bry-
ans leadership, is opposed to hesmethod,
contending that the states have ample
power to deal with trusts.

The Price for Call Loans Rose to 20

New, York, Sept. 13.-Wan street
passed through a tight money squeeze
yesterday. Apprehensions of temporary
stringency had been visible all the week,
the average stock exchange rate on pre-
ceding days having, been 8 per cent or
over. Yesterday loans made on the stock
exchange go over until Monday and there
was much uneasiness over what the bank
statement would show. Last Saturday
the associated banks reported a surplus
of only 100000 over the required re-
serve.
Demand for call money on the stock
exchange began much earlier than usual
yesterday and there was a crowd of
brokers on hand when it started off at
IL per cent. BY early noon the rate rose
to Is per cent with no offerings. Out of
town institutions again furnished most
of the funds. Later still the price for
call loans rose to 20 per cent. The
high price of money had its customary
effect upon the stock market Heavy all
the afternoon, stocks broke more rapid
ly from o'clock on the publication of
the figures covering the known move

ing to augment the declines.

WAVES OF FLAMES
The Salvation of Spindletop Heights
Is Due to the Heavy North
east Wind.
A Guess at Some of the Losses-The
Fire Said to Be at
Standstill.

Beaumont, Texas, Sept. 13.-At. mid
night one acre of Spindletop heights was
seething mass of flames and sitting
smoke At / o'clock this morning the
fire was at a, standstill It is now under
control so long as the wind continues from
the northeast. .....- VI -
e. Thirty five or forty derricks have been
RACED in the Keith Ward tract. Across
the avenue the mammoth 37,500-barrel
Higgins tank is on fire, but the oil is being
drawn from the bottom, which will even
tually starve out the flames. The great
Texas Flora gusher is ablaze, sending
heat and smoke eighty feet into the air.
The Wood we'll is on fire. Several smaller
tanks are burning. 1t is Impossible to
tell how; many. What the total loss will
be Is only, conjecture. 1t will be enor-
nous. NIL sa.s-,1 .s.
The heat is the fire fighters Greatest
barrier One moment the fame and smoke
will rise in an impenetrable mass and
blacken the heavens, then fall in smother
ing waves and roll along the surface Of
the earth, carrying all before it. From
the direction of the wind the workmen
have been able to advance to within loo
feet of the burning structures The brisk
northeasterly winds that swept down upon
Beaumont have been godsend and have
saved the day.
This is one Of the hottest, fercest, most
destructive oil fires in history.
