as the ore is very rich and especially
the iron of an excellent quality and
as furthermore some of the larg-

ton of time when Norway will enter
the front rank of mineral producing
countries of the world. Several large
shelters are already being erected
chiefly by German and English capital

these enterprises will employ labor so
extensively that an effectual stop will

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk Of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphltes
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Minister Bowen Addressed a P0-

sador in the Venezuelan Mat

Washington, March 19.-An import
ant chapter in, the Venezuelan con-
troversy developed tonight. Impelled
by the persistent reports which have
been circulated that there might be
disposition on the part of the allied
powers to settle directly with Presi-
dent Castro the question of the pay
ments of the claims Of their citizens
against Venezuela, coupled with the
exasperating. delay in settling the ad-
ditional protocols with him, Mr..
Herbert ". Bowen, Venezuela's pleni-
potentiary, has made an effort to OBJ
tain positive information from the al
lies as to their intentions in the pre-
misses. With this purpose in view to-
night he addressed to Sir Michael
Herbert, the British ambassador at
Washington, polite note calling at
tention to the delay of about month
and to the rumors that have been cur
rent that the powers are not disposed
to send. the question of. preferential
treaty to The Hague. Mr.. Bowen
urged it as desirable that some de-
claration should be made by the allies
as to what theyswill do.

WISCONSIN, NEGRO CONVENTION.
Proposer of Race Problem Confer.
ence Offers Explanation.

Madison, Wis, March ls.-The Joint
resolution of Senator Hatten providing
for a conference on the race problem
came up in the senate today for action.
Senator: Hatten made a speech in
favor of the resolution: He spoke OF
the Importance of the question. He
did not propose, he said, to have the
gathering one OF politicians. but one
of economists and sociologist, to con-
slider establishing training schools
for teachers in the different branches,
etc. He read letter from the acting
president of Wisconsin university,
z. A. Birge, recommending the con-
ference, and moved to refer the re-
solution to the committee on educa-
tion. The motion was carried.
While the sentiment in the senate
seems to be strong against the bill
Senator Hatten is of the opinion that
when its intent and scope is better
understood, the feeling regarding it
will be different.

BEYWlRD NAMED FOR SENATOR.
Suggestion of Further Honors for
the Governor Applauded.

Gov. Heyward was nominated last
night for Senator from South Carolina
in a letter from Rev. P. L. Duffy to
the Hibernian Sociey, which was read
at the annual dinner Of that organlza-
ton. This is the first time that any
public expression has been given to the
possibility Of the new Governors
further political possibilities, though,
of course, there has been talk among
his friends of more honors for him
since his triumphant election last
summer. The suggestion of the Gov
ernor for the senatorship was only a
personal expression by Father Duffy,
but the public declaration of it and
the applause which greeted it made an
incident of more than ordinary poll
tica1 interest, if not significance.
The suggestion was made in let
ter from Father Duffy expressing his
regret at being unable to attend the
dinner of the Hibernian Society. 1t
was the only letter read at the dinner
from local source. Stating that i'll
ness forced him to forego the pleasure
Of attending the dinner, Father Duffy
declared that his regret was the more
keen that he would not be able to en-
Joy the presence Of "our Governor and
future Senator, D. =. Hayward.
The letter was read by Major j. Z.
Hemphill, with expressions Of greeting
from several out of town societies.
When he came to the concluding SEN
tence, in which the name Of the Gov
ernor was mentioned, the applasue at
the expected name obscured the Senate
rial nomination and many of the COM
pany did not hear it. This was at once
realized by Major Hemphill, who re-
marked that he feared some had not
caught the exactdrift Of the last sentence
and had thereby missed a good thing"
SO he proceeded to read again and with
emphasis and signifcan nee the words,
"our Governor and future Senator,
D. G Hayward.
The suggestion was greeted with
loud applause. Gov. Hayward gave
no sign of his feeling at the proposed
extension of his career into Federal
politics, but his friends were clearly
delighted at the opportunity to ap-
prove thought which has been in
many minds Thdere has been today
good deal of talk over the incident.
Gov. Heyward would not discuss it in
any way. Some people were of the
opinion that it was a mistake to set
ahoat so soon Senatorial boom for
the Governor, even if such thing
were remotely in mind, and some OF
the friends of the Governor expressed
regret that even a personal expression
Isof desire for the honor to the Governor
should have been given such emphasis
at this time.-Charleston Post, March

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT BREAKS
HIS OFT REPEATED PROMISE
TO IMPARTIALITY
With all Sections of the Country and
Makes an Appointment to an Impor-
tant Office Which is Objectionable to
the Whole Business Community.

Washington, March 17..-President
Roosevelt has closed the "Door of
Hope'' to the white citizens of Char
lesion, and will appoint DR.. William
D. Crum, a colored physician, collector
of the port of Charleston as soon as
the special session Of the Senate ad-
journs.
Notwithstanding one adverse report
on the nomination of DR.. Crum by the
Senate committee on commerce sever
al weeks ago, and an opportunity
for a second adverse report last Thurs
day. of which the opposition refused
to take advantage, the appointment
Of Crum is assured.
There is not the slightest possibility
Of vote being reached on his nomi-
nation during the present special ses-
sion. The disposition of the canal and
the Cuban treaties, and a few other
routine matters will occupy all the
time the Senate expects to remain in
session.
Several feeble efforts have been made
to carry out the Presidents desire to
force roll-call on the nomination Of
DR.. Crum. AS matter of fact
the Republican leaders of the senate
have no heart in the fight the Presi-
dent is trying to force on behalf of
Dr.. Crum.
On the other hand, the Democrats
are determined that so long as the Re
publicans fear to vote their personal
convictions in this case, which would
result in the rejection of DR.. Crum,
they will prevent any partisan vote
on this subject.
The opposition to confirmation is
solidly united and Democratic Sen
ators are prepared to discuss the
matter Indefinitely. They take the
position that, after Crum had once
been rejected for appointment as
postmaster of Charleston by a Repub-
lican Senate during the Harrison ad-
ministration, it was unwise and in
iudicious for President Roosevelt to
infict the same man upon the white
citizens of Charleston as collector of
the port. Besides, it had been clearly
demonstrated to the President that
the selection of Df. Crum is not
popular with the members of the SEN
ate, as many of the leading Repub-
licans have urged him to Withdraw
the nomination since it was adversely
reported from the committee, of which
actingVice President Frye is chairman.

Rain and Plants.

Many persons must have noticed thai
the most diligent sprinkling Of lawns
and flower beds fails to impart to the
grass and plants vital stimulus equal
to that which comes from good show
er of rain. A correspondent reminds
us of the reason for the difference. 1t
is because rain, falling from great
height through the air, brings with it
a considerable quantity Of carbonic
acid, Of heterogeneous particles and of
other elements nutritious to plants
which it has washed out of the atmos-
phere. So a sprinkler used from the
top of tall building might be slightly
more effective than when employed at
the surface of the ground.
