AN AUTOMOBILE YACHT.
Its Inventor Expects TO Explore
Florida Swamp in Novel Craft.

Destined for service both on land and
water, the much discussed automobile
yacht will soon be prepared to- make
its Journey to the south, says the'N New
York Herald. AS far as both marine
and terrestrial architecture are con-
cerned the amphibious craft is not a
thing to delight the eye, for it has lines
which have never been considered
beautiful.
It's inventor, Anton Schmidt, a cabi-
net maker of Newark, n. j., who built
it, says that he is sure that it will do
all that is required of it either in the
water or on dry land and that soon he
will make his arrangements to go to
Florida, where he has been invited to
explore a swamp. Near Ocala, he has
been informed there is a morass which
incIoSes a more or less active sulphur
Volcano Rank vegetation abounds on
the outskirts of the region, and in the
center there is an uneXplored spot be-
lieved to abound in sulphurous fumes
and salamanders.
The vessel has had a trial trip in the
waters near Newark, and when all the
machinery is placed in it be believes
that within few weeks he will reach
the region which awaits his investiga-
ton.
This land and water craft, as Mr..
Schmidt calls it, is forty-five feet in
length, eight in beam and has a draught
of three feet Its total height is only
a trifle more than six feet, just enough
to permit a man to stand up inside 1t
has five wheels in all, two large ones
at the side and one at each end and
small one beneath, which serves as a
support when the craft is on dry land
and as a means of propulsion when it
is immersed. The greater part of the
power will be applied to the side
wheels.
The inventor thinks that the craft
may easily proc9N at the rate of six
miles an hour Oh land and eight in wa
ter.

COLOMBIA AND THE CANAL
MINISTER FERNANDEZ LETTER
TO EDITORS.
Government Relies Upon Press to Elk.
plain the Many Complicated
Questions.

Washington, April 24.-Aristides
Fernandez, minister of the interior OF
Colombia, through the governors Of
the states, has addressed the editors
of newspapers throughout Colombia,
directing their attention to the i'm
pOrtance of the fullest consideration
in the newspapers of the subject of
the Panama canal. Copies of the ad-
dress have been received in Wash
ington. In substance it is as follows:
"The matter of gravest Importance,
which should occupy the attention of
the coming congress to the exclusion
of all else, is the matter of the Pana-
ma canal, and to decide this import
ant business with proper and mature
judgment it is necessary that all
patriots should use their best talents
and positions to show the people the
many complicated questions involved
in the case.
st is not enough for the govern
ment and congress to study the mat
ter; it is necessary that all the people,
the of the population, should be
advised fully of the interest the ma
ton has in the matter, as we'll as the
many difficulties and problems which
the different projects present.
Therefore the minister calls upon
ali newspapers and editors to publish
all they a obtain on the subject as
it is a matter of the gravest import
ance to the we'll being of the coun-
try, as we'll as to the interests of the
world"
In private letters received in Wash
ington it is said that the opponents OF
the canal complain because the Co.
lombian government permitted the
soldiers to vote at the elections held
for members of congress.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 24.-Mayor
Tom L. Johnson, under date of April
81, wrote the following letter to j. l..
". Merrill Of this city, a democratic
politician, in response to a letter from
Merrill discussing Johnson's nominal
ton for president in 1904:
Replying to your favor of the 18th
inst, permit me to say that l think
my field of usefulness is right here
in this city and at most in the state Of
Ohio, and l must condemn any move
ment such as you speak of, as both
unwise and undesirable.
THE mer talk about nominating
me in 1904 is a positive injury to what
i am trying to accomplish here, and it
does seem to me too bad to interfere
with work that is bearing such good
fruit. l know you, as a friend OF mine,
will discourage this in every way pos
sible.
II am grateful to you for your kind
words but believe that on reflection
you will agree with my conclusion"

German Manufacturers and Exporters
Try to Iniure EXPOSITION,

German Manufacturers and Exporters
Try to lnjure Exposition.
Berlin. April 24.-German manufac.
turers and exporters propose to boy
colt the st. Louis exposition.
Out of Is large firms, allied to the
Essen chamber of commerce, all but
n have resolved to refrain from
exhibiting and a report just receiv-
ed from Solingen says all the manu-
%facturers and large industrial firms
belonging to the chamber of COM
merce of that city have resolved unan-
imously not to exhibit.
Only a few weeks ago German pub
fishing houses decided to boycott the
exposition because of defective copy
right laws and the wholesale transla-
ton of German publications in the
United States, equivalent to literary
piracy. The firm of Krupp of Essen,
which was the largest exhibitor at
Chicago, obstinately refuses to ex-
hibit at st. Louis.
Similar resolutions have been car
ried by chambers of COM
merce, especially in the industrial re.
gions of the Rhine, Westphalia and
Silesia.
In Saxony it is learned the feeling
against exhibiting at st. Louis is
acute.

Pruss'an Government Decides Their
Teachings Are Immoral.
Berlin, April 24.-The governments
OF Prussia and of the grand duchy of
Mecklenburg have decided to expel
n Mormon missionaries, OF whom
there are 145 in Germany and 80 in
Prussia, on the ground that they are
propagating a form Of religious be-
lief incompatible with the laws of
state and public morals and because
polygamy is not excluded from their
doctrines.
me missionaries, who are all Amer
leans, will be allowed sufficient time
to settle up their personal affairs.
None Of the Mormons has vet been
deported.
The government of Prussia defines
the expulsion as being simply a police
measure, for which no explanation
need be made.
Peter L~antensac, a German. nat,,r.
ailzeu IN Utah, nrst organized mis-
sionary work here in 1896. He was
succeeded in 1899 as bishop by Arnold
Schultheiss, a Swiss, n~aturalized in
Utah, who directed 100 missionaries.
Hugh j. Cannon replaced him in 1900
n the latter has steadily increased
the number of Mormon preachers and
has nearly doubled the membership.
which Is now 1000. +
When a Mormon arrived in a Ger
man village he would rent a hall and
begin to preach and the common re-
suit was that the local pastors would
complain to the police, who not in
frequently ordered the missionary to
leave.

Secretary Hay will take no action in

Until the troubles with the labor
