THE CAUCUSES.

The ward caucuSeS for the nominal
tion of aldermen and constables Of
the several wards, were held Wednes-
day evening and were rather tame
affairs. In the first ward, Il cOnSid-
cradle crowd was at-hand at I O'Clock
and the meeting was called to order
by David Brown. S. r. Smith and
G. j. Mott were made judges and W..
d. Gallagher clerk. Only one candid
ate formally appeared for aldermanic
honors, Alfred Lundstrom. Seventy
votes were cast. Lundstrom received
81 votes. As there were two alder
men to be nominated, the friends OF
Alderman Ellefsen. who had declined
to allow his name to be used, voted
for him anyway and he secured "a
ballots. This was an endorsement to
be proud of and it is to be hoped Mr..
Ellefsen will consent to have his
name 90 on the ballot. In the second
ward, when the time came for calling
to order, no one volunteered to per-
form that interesting ceremony and
the crowd present dispersed. We
understand that John POrthan and
Gustav Steinborn had designs on the
cOuncilman's chairs for this ward
In the third ward the meeting was
called to order by Chas. Trezona.
Thos. Whitta was elected chairman
and Reuben Toms and Richard Chinn
judges and Harry A. Chiun clerk.
81 votes were cast of which Martin
Skala and George Kotze each received
26 for aldermen VIM. Phillips re.
ceived s.. There is considerable talk
of several petition candidates.
The caucus for the nomination Of
mayor, treasurer. assessor, municipal
judge and special municipal judge,
took place last evening and was Il
rather hot affair. All day yesterday,
rumOrs of combinations we're flying
thick and fast. A rumor became cur
rent late Wednesday night that w.
B. Goldsworthy had become can
didate for mayor, but yesterday at
about IL O'Clock the rumor was run
to earth. Had Mr.. Goldsworthy de-
cided to go before the caucus he
would have proven formidable can
didate for the two in the field The
days skirmiShing which eliminated
last evening centered on the office Of
municipal judge for which position
III. Van Blarcom, John Cosgrove and
Al, Bedford were contestants. The
caucus was opened last evening by
j. w. Osborne temporary chairman.
The call was accepted and Mr.. Os-
borne made permanent chairman,
John GlOde and e. G. Deane Judges
and Chas. Grabowsky clerk. Tie
voting was brisk and the board had
their hands full in keeping the voters
in line. 307 votes were cast and when
the count was finished. the following

The quickest, sureSt, neatest, east
est and most effective way to stop a
chimney fire is to take Il large wet
cloth and wind it around the StOYe-
pipe just above the stove, says an
authority on these matters. The
moisture from the wet cloth forms a
cloud of steam inside the pipe which
rises and smoLhers the fire in the
chimney almost at once. This method
has proven effective in the case or Il
chimney fire so fierce that the stove
pipe all the way from the stove to the
chimney was red hot and has never
been known to fail.

STATE ITEMS
First Time In Many Years.

For the first time in nearly TWEEN
ty-ive years the st. Clair county
judges held court in the courthouse,
and may be the last for some time.
Federal Judge Philips has issued
many writs of mandamus ordering the
county judges to levy a tax to pay
over $1,000,000 bonds for a railroad
that was never built. They have held
court in the brush to avoid deputy
marshals, and whenever one of the
judges was caught he was thrown
into Jail for the balance of his term
for contempt of court. Now, for the
first time in many years, there is an
entirely new court, with no hold
overs. None of them is as yet in con-
tempt, so they are safe in holding
open court. When they adjourn, as
they will, without making the levy,
they will be in contempt, and will
have to take to the brush, as their
predecessors have.

OPPOSITION TO THE CANAL.
Radical Element Fears the Effect OF
a Full Treasury.

Radical Element Fear the Effect OF
"a Full Treasury.
Washington, May 12.-Private ad-
vices from Colombia state that there
are three elements opposed to ratifica-
tion of the Panama canal treaty. One
element antagonizes the feature CIV
ing the United States perpetual con-
troll, another urges that the indemnity
and annuity is not sufficient, and the
third element consists of revolution
airy spirits who fear that with the
Colombian treasury enriched by $10,-
100000 the. governments strength will
be so increased as to destroy all hope
of success from any revolutionary
movement.
DR.. Herran, the Colombian charge
d'affaires here, is without official in
formation regarding the attitude of
the majority of the members-elect
to the congress. When the Colombian
congress is convened, June 20, there
will be just one month for considera-
ton of the treaty, and such other
matters as may be called before it by
the president, as the regular session
meets July 20. If the president sends
the treaty to congress first under Co.
lumbia's rules of procedure 40 other
subject can be considered until that
is disposed of. Reorganization of the
finances is the next most important
matter before the Colombian govern
ment, and the determination of the
question of the treaty has an import
ant bearing on the finances.
No confirmation has been received
here, either by the state department
or by the Colombian legation, of the
reported resignation of President Mar
roquin of Colombia on account of po-
litical troubles. Such a step On the
part of the president, however, would
not be surprising, as he is nearly
eighty years of age, and is of a quiet,
retiring disposition. The understand
ing here has been all along that Pres
ident Marroquin is favorable to the
ratification of the Panama canal
treaty; in fact it was under his in
structions that DR.. Herran, Colombia
charge here, negotiated the treaty
with the state department.. The de-
termined and persistent opposition to
the treaty which has manifested it.
self in many parts of Colombia, it is
surmisedv probably has influenced the
president in the action he is reported
to have taken.
Gen. Raphael Reyes, the second vice.
president, who will assume the presi-
dency in the event of the retirement
of Marroquin, holds the position of
'designado" for the office, having been
selected by the Colombian congress in
1898 for that position. His title for
the designation, however, it disputed,
as the selection is usually made every
two years by the Colombian congress,
and the last congress failed to make
a selection. Gen. Reyes consequently
holds his designation from the con-
gress of 1898. The belief here is that
he is favorable to the canal treaty, al
though he has been quoted as having
expressed sentiments in opposition to
