Atlanta, Nov. 5.-Walter Venable,
who recently resigned as justice of the
peace. as he states, under coercion, has
filed a remarkable answer to the quo
warrant proceedings instituted by Wal
ter E. Ormond. who was appointed to
succeed him. In his answer Venable
insists that he has not resigned, that
the paper purporting to be his resig-
nation was obtained under duress, and
that he was held in confinement with
out his clothing until he agreed to sign
the paper, and threatened with arrest
IL he left his place of confinement.
The answer states that Venable is
unable to either deny or affirm whether
he signed a resignation. He admits
that he did sign some paper, which
was not read to him. and the contents
of which he did not know. He says
he was incapacitated and did not know
what he was doing. He denies that a
vacancy exists. and insists that the
Governor has no right to accept such
a resignation.

POINTS TO YOU
How Coffee Sets Its Grip and Is New
err Suspected.


1t is surprising how many people
never suspect that coffee is causing all
their trouble until they are finally
knocked out or some disease caused by
coffee has become chronic and almost
incurable.
Even in chronic cases the chances
are a. shift from coffee to Postum
Food Coffee will build the sick one up
and in time effect a cure.
Sometimes this happens with surpris-
ing promptness. A lady of Syracuse,
Neb., says: Last spring year ago
my doctor told me l would have to
stop drinking coffee. l had heart
trouble so bad that the least excite
ment would cause me to choke up so
could scarcely get my breath, and I
was so nervous l could not bear to
have the children move around the
house.
Doctor told my husband to get
Postum for me, but before he did so
we moved to the country and | fell
back on milk and water, but even such
exertion as climbing a flight of stairs
caused my heart to hurt me so would
feel sick and faint.
This continued all summer until in
the fall we again moved to Syracuse.
There L got some Postum and began to
feel so nucn pSLtel altel uohAS oiiC
package that / continued it's use alto
gether and l am now better in health
than l have ever been before in eight
wears. / am stronger and fieshier than
ever was and have not had the
headache but three times since began
10 use Postum a year ago. The change
certainly seems wonderful, for / have
had no return of the heart trouble at
all and 1 never get tired telling what
Postum has done for me" Name

order of things, though the United
States consuls have large discretion in
this matter and may already have rec
ognized the &c facto power of the
Junta at Panama. 1t is pointed out.
however, that no such action on their
part would affect the political reIa-
Mons OF the new government with the
United States. In due course of time
if it shall appear that that govern
ment is able to maintain itself and
preserve order, the State Department
would extend a formal recognition. but
there is no particular reason for haste
it is said.
1t is assumed that there will be no
disposition on the part of the new gov
eminent to repudiate the concessions
heretofore granted to individuals or
corporations by the government at Bo-
gotta.

REPORT ON HAWAII
Advises Larger immigration of
American Settlers.

Advises Larger Immigration of
American Settlers.
Washington, Nov. 5.-Gov. Sanford
B. Dole, chief executive of the ter
ritory of Hawaii, expresses the opinion
in his annual report to the secretary
of the interior that unless there
should be a larger immigration of
American settlers than now seems
probable, the present numerical in
feriority of those which may be class
ed as belonging to the Teutonic race
as compared with the Hawaiians will
in few years become a still greater
inferiority as compared with the then
American citizens of the Hawaiian,
Portuguese. Japanese and Chinese
races"
The prospect says the governor, en-
phasizes the importance of giving to
all children, who are American citizens,
a good common school education. The
association of pupils of the differ
ent races with one another in school
and in the recreations of the play
grounds go far toward breaking down
race prejudices, and tends to prepare
them for intelligent political action in
the future.
There are many marriages between
Hawaiian women, and white men, and
few between Hawaiian women and
Cinnamon. The offspring of both
classes of marriages are an improve
ment, as rule, on the pure Hawaiian,
in thrift and business enterprise"
The report says the statistics show a
steady increase in the last three years
in the production of sugar and an
increase in the shipments outside the
territory. Rice, the report says, is in
evitably a diminishing product both
from the competition of the new rice
fields of Texas and Louisiana, and
the diminishing numbers of Chinese in
the territory. Gov. Dole says ma
jority of the new settlers on the pub
lie lands last year were white men.

IONA ISLAND EXPLOSION
Is to Undergo an investigation by
the Navy Department.

rs 10 Ohderg0 an Investigation By
the Navy Department.
Washington. Nov. 5.-Admiral O'Neil,
chief of the naval ordnance bureau, to-
day received telegram from Capt.
Perry in temporary charge of the
Brooklyn navy yard stating that from
six to nine men were killed, FIVE in
jured and shell houses Nos. 8 and 4,
with their contents, destroyed by the
explosion of the naval magazine at
Iona Island. Capt. Perry stated that
he already had appointed a board,
which is proceeding at once to the
island to investigate the accident.
The bureau officials are puzzled as
to the cause of this disaster, in view
of the extraordinary precautions taken
to prevent such occurrences. The
buildings, they say, were absolutely
hre-proof, being composed entirely of
stone, brick, iron and cement, without
a particle of wood in their construc-
ton. The shells, however We're pack
ed In wooden cases, and Admiral
O'Neil believes that after the explo-
sion of the first shell the boxes caught
fire, and that the heat was SUFFICIENT
TO ignite the illuminate in the fuses OF
the other shells

Other Powers VIII Let the United
States Manage Panama.

Other Powers VIII Let the United
states Manage Panama.
London, Nov. 5.-The British official
attitude towards the events at Pan
anna is that it is entirely the United
States affair. This, with the conse-
quent comparative apathy, appears to
be shared in all diplomatic quarters in
London. Except In the unlikely posi-
btity of some outside interference, no
action is contemplated by the British,
or so far as the Associated Press is
able to ascertain at the various en-
bassies, by any other government.
The question of the recognition of
Panama's independence entirely de-
Ponds on the action of the United
States. If Washington communicates
TO the Powers that it intends to re-
cognize the independence of Panama,
1t is not likely that there will be the
slightest objection on the part of Great
Britain, while, according to the views
OF diplomats here, the other European
Powers probably will quickly follow
suit

REVOLUTION PROMPTED
BY THE UNITED STATES.
That Is the View Taken of the Pam
anna Situation in Germany.

That Is inc view 1AkASh Oh the ran
anna Situation in Germany.
Berlin, Nov. 5.-Germany, the Asso-
ciated Press is advised, will observe
complete Indifference to the political
side of the Panama revolution. Both
the revolutionists and the government
forces, it is assumed, will respect the
personal and property rights of Ger
man subjects living at Panama.
The United States are recognized as
the power having dominant interest on
the isthmus. Germany has no inclina-
ton or object for the least interference
and certainly would not do anything
without knowing in advance that it
would be agreeable to the United
States.
The theory as to the cause of the
revolution which is currently accepted
here is that the United States brought
it about with the object of building the
interoceanic canal. The Vossische Zeit-
ung, in taking this view, says: THE
reason why the President waited two
months after Congress rejected the
treaty without negotiating with Mica
ragua is now clear-the United States
were finding an effective way of at
tanning it's ends by working behind the
scenes"

NO TALE OF LYNCHERS.
Thomas Tells a Different story from
That He Told in Michigan.

Augusta. Ca, Nov. 5.-Charles
Thomas, the negro about whose extra
dition from Detroit there was so much
trouble some months ago, was put on
trial for the murder of Jackson Ken
drick in the Superior Court to-day.
There was not the slightest interest
taken in the case by the public gener-
ally and the best seats in the Court
House went begging.
On the stand to-day Thomas repeat
ed none of the sensational features of
his escape from lynchers with which
he RECALLED the people of Detroit in his
affidavits to avoid extradition. In
Michigan he told the Governor a lurid
story of hiding in snake-infested
swamps for days to avoid being killed
by irate white men. To-day he said he
caught a Georgia Railroad freight
train right after the shooting and went
to Atlanta, and from that point work.

Charleston, S. c.. Nov. 5.-Much in

Macon, Ca, Nov. 5.-A delegation of
Michiganders passed through Macon
to-day en- route to Andersonville to Sc
lect site for a monument to Wolv-
crime soldiers who died in that prison,
the Michigan Legislature having set
aside $1,000 for that work
The head of the committee is Col.
I. S. Jameson, whose brother died in
prison, death which had much to do
with the conviction of Gen. Werz by
court-martial. The dead Jameson, so
the testimony before the court-martial
asserts, was kicked to death by Gen.
Werz because he dropped to the ground
from sheer exhaustion. The live broth
er carries with him on this trip that
portion of the evidence, having secured
a copy at the War Department.

ANSWER TO CHAMBERLAIN
Made on Tariff Question by Michael
Hicks-Beach.

Manchester, England. Nov. 5.-Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, formerly chan
cellor of the exchequer, addressing a
meeting of business men here to-day
said retaliation was a method of deal
ing with unfair competition. He, there
fore, would not deal with that part of
the present fiscal controversy. The
great question was whether the guild
ing principle of the customs tariff
should be free imports or protection.
He rebutted Joseph Chamberlain
claims that free trade was destroying.
Abiding to Mr.. Chamberlain's char
acterization of the leaders of the Free
Food Party as Little Englanders," Sir
Michael said he was a wider imperial
list than Mr.. Chamberlain. He had
preached the doctrine of a permanent
union of the empire, in England and
Canada, thirty and forty years ago,
when Mr.. Chamberlain's policies did
not extend beyond Birmingham"
