MISSISSIPPI SENATOR RAISES
RACE QUESTION:.
PLANS TO ANNEX CU6A
Senator NewIands Would Invite Is
land Republic 10 Become
State of Union.

Washington, March 18.-The race
question again was discussed in the
senate today. Mr.. Money spoke for
two hours, his remarks having direct
reference to the action of the, presi-
dent in closing the Indianola (Miss.)
postoffice. Mr.. Money explained at
the outset of his remarks that if he
could secure consent for leave to print
he would not take up the time of the
senate. The sentiment of the senate
seemed to be that remarks not de-
livered should not be spread on the
record. He thereupon proceeded and
delivered himself of some severe stric-
lures on the president. stating in the
course of his remarks that Mr. Roose-
welt was not the president of America
but the president of the "Black Belt"
AT time he was closely interrogated
by Messrs. Foraker and Spooner.
Before adjournment at o'clock to-
night the senate entered into a unan-
imous agreement to vote on Gu
ban reciprocity at 3 o'clock tomorrow
The hope of seeing vote today was

LITTLE URUGUAY
HAS REVOLUTION
EIGHT THOUSAND MEN GATHER
AROUND MoNTEvlDo, THE
CAPITAL.

Washington, March 1S.-News of a
revolution in Uruguay was conveyed
tc the state department today in a dis
patch from United States Consul
Swan at Monevideo, as follows:
"Monevideo, March 17.-Revolution
has broken out. Railway destroyed;
5000 men are camped outside, mar
shaling to attack the city. Revolution
is serious"
Luis Alberto de Herrera, assistant
secretary and charge d'affaires of the
Uruguayan legation, was much sur
prised to learn of Consul Swans ca
blegram. His last advices from Mon
tevideo concerned the election and in
auguration, on March /, last, of the
new president, Jose Battle Ordonez,
who succeeded President Juan Cues
tas. This ceremony passed off quietly.
President Ordonez is member of the
red party, but since the fusion OF
the red and white parties some years
ago, party lines have not been strictly
drawn. President Ord'onez is describ-
ed by DR.. Herrera as man of excep-
tional ability and force and at the time
of his election he was regarded as
acceptable to both parties. He is
considered by some as too impetuous.
SMy country is just now enjoying
an era of unparalleled prosperity
said DR.. Herrera, tonight. Il regret
to learn that friction has developed.
Eight thousand troops, however, are
not enough to menace Montevideo,
which is a city of 250OOO inhabitants.
Furthermore the government retains
a standing guard at the capital of s.
900 soldiers and I do not for an in
stant fear that the capital will be TAX

WITHDREW PLIMLEy'S NAME

Washington, March 18.-Presideni
Roosevelt today withdrew the nomi
nation of William Plimley as assist
ant treasurer at New York, and late
today sent to the senate the nomina
ton of Hamilton Fish to that office
The nomination was confirmed
promptly by the senate.
| Mr.. Plimley's nomination was con.
firmed by the senate today after its
transmission to that body. His com
mission was made out and signed by
the president, but had not been de.
livered, when at the instance of Sen.
ator Aldrich, chairman of the finance
committee, the senate adopted reso-
luton recalling the nomination from
the president for further considera.
ltion. 1t developed that charges had
been made against Mr.. Plimley which
the senate desired to investigate. Pro-
tests from important financial inter-
ests in New York subsequently were
ffled with the president against the
appointment of Mr. Plimley. The pro.
tests also reached the treasury de-
partment, which also made an investi-
cation. Assistant Secretary Arm
strong, of the treasury department,
had conference with the president
at which it was decided that in view
Of the gravity of the charges against
Mr.. Plimley he could not be commits
stoned. The president then with
drew the nomination. Concerning the
withdrawal the following statement
was made at the white house by Sec
retary Loeb:
''In view of the investigations made
by the treasury department the presi-
dent has felt obliged to withdraw the
nomination of William Plimley for as.
sistant treasurer at New York, and
this has been DONE"
President Roosevelt then had a con-
ference with Senator Platt. The SEN
ator suggested the name of Hamilton
Fish of New York. and the president
agreed Immediately to appoint him.
Mr.. Fish is son of former Secre-
tary OF State Hamilton Fish. He is 4
prominent lawyer of New Work, ex.
speaker of the general assembly OF
New York, and friend of President
Roosevelt. The appointment met the
cordial approval not only of Senators
Platt and Depew of New York, but
also of many other senators who are
with him.

disappointed by the discovery that
there were more speeches to be made
lii opposition to the treaty than had
been counted upon. Indeed. it was
dlf1icult to secure an agreement IL
vote even tomorrow and it was eyi-
dent that this result could not have
been accomplished but for the anxiety
| OF senators to secure final adjourn
ment of the session. The executive
session covered six hours and was de-
voted largely to adverse criticisms on
the treaty.
Plea for Annexation.
During the day Senator Newlands
made plea for the annexation of
Cuba and presented an amendment to
the treaty rendering an invitation to
that island to become state Of the
American union.
The debate was participated in by
Senators McEnery, Newlands, Spoon
er, Teller, Nelson, German, Cullom,
Bailey and Carmack.

cordance with his notice previously

which have been addressed to lead

residing at Indianola, have been sent
to Greenville and this" he declared,

people of Indianola. II it was intend
ed to punish the people of Indianola

gone far enough. The department
had shown to the world it's authority

and not continue stubborn and vindi-
cative. The department had made the
people hate the administration"

new CAPITAL IS DAMAGED
FORCE OF EARTHQUAKE CRACK.
ED PILLARS.

Helena, March 1S.-The seimic dis.
turbances, which shook the very
foundations of Helena Sunday morn
ing and Monday evening, caused no lit
tie damage to Montanas new state
house. Three of the great pillars in
the rotunda of the capitol are crack
ed from top to bottom as a result of
the earthquake and on one of them
the crack extends to both sides. Cross.
ways at several places smaller cracks
divide the columns into separte Sec
tions.
The pillars are of imitation marble,
and are plastered on steel lath. In
side is steel post which bears the
. weight, and this rests on huge block
oa2rock which is set into the ground,
so that it is impossible that the cracks
should be the result of the settling of
the building.
, Cracks Are New.
1t was first noticed this morning
Little groups stood and discussed the
probable cause of the mishap, and all
pcame to the decision that it was with
out doubt caused by the earthquake.
AS proof, it was cited that the cracks
were all new and clean and that, on
the other hand, one of the pillars
which has been cracked for many
months, probably as the result of
defect in the construction, showed the
face OF the crack to be darkened and
dirty.
1t is feared that some of the pieces
made by the cracks running in diff
ferent directions will fall. Another
earthquake as forcible as the last
might cause them to be loosened from
..eir position.

Conditions Are Improved.

New Orleans, March 1S.-The fact
that there has been no rise of conse-
quence since Saturday and that the
weather continues clear has enabled
the authorities to materially improve
the temporary levees in front of New
Orleans. The gauge today marked
1913, rise of in "a hours. All the
levees south of the Red river continue
to hold. Men today are working on
the levee between New Orleans and
Kenner and the Sarpey levee above
Kenner. The Mississippi valley pa

BIG DITCH PROPOSED FOR LOWER
YELLOWSTONE.
WILL BENEFIT FORSYTH
Work to Be Pushed and Large Por.
tion Of Canal Finished Dur
ing Present Season.

Forsyth, Mont, March 18.-One OF
the largest business enterprises in
eastern Montana is represented in the
new irrigation scheme which has been
perfected for the north side of the
4 Yellowstone river in this county. The
company is comprised of leading cap
ttalists OF Helena and Forsyth, and
Major Edwards of this city will act
% kresident and business manager.
The new ditch will commence at the
slough just north of this city and
will irrigate $500 acres of company
land between Rosebud, and Fort
Keogh. The first 21 miles of this ditch
will cost close to 100000, and the
contract for it's construction has al
ready been let to Contractor Larsen Of
Helena. 5
The work is to be completed, &C.
cording to the contract, to Sand creek
before September /. 1t is contem-
plated that the line of the ditch will
reach Fort Keogh next year. 1t will
be necessary to make but few cuts
and these will be of but slight depth
to irrigate this large tract of land
The only large fumes necessary must
be built across Porcupine, Horse and
Sand creeks, The proposition of the
company is to divide this land into
small alfalfa farms and sell to indi-
vidual holders. Alfalfa under these
circumstances should grow at least
ave tons per acre each season, and
product is now worth $12 per ton.
'th of the tract is an open range
! ntry for nearly 1875 miles. The
respects are that this enterprise
alone will almost double the popula-
tion of Forsyth and Rosebud in from
two to five years.

Inventor Sees Way to Imprison Hot
Air and Make 1t Work.

Big Run, Pa, March 18-Heat gen.
Grated in coke ovens will be utilized
by an invention of j. B. Beans of this
place to supply all sorts of power. 1t
is proposed to establish battery of
steam boilers in the ovens, and during
action it is expected that $50 horse
power can be obtained from each oven
The power thus procured can be sup
piled to manufacturing plants. The
amount of it is limited only by the
number of coke ovens.
There are 200 ovens in operation at
Eleanora and they would furnish 40.-
600 horsepower. In Walston and
Adrian there are 1000 ovens-440,OO0
horsepower.
In connection with his system. Mr.
Bean said that it would not interfere
with charging. drawing or coking.

Let them show the members of the

during the summer months to gather

themselves their own livelihood.
Having fortified themselves with
the statistics regarding the Indians
as a tribe, together with the facts
concerning the utter foolishness Of
the government for longer maintaining
any part of the reservation west Of
the Big Horn river for the use of the
Indians, the people would then be abl,
to present an argument to congress
which would have some weight and
would materially aid many members
of that body already favorable to the
plan of reducing Indian reservations.
The citizens of the city and it's i'm
mediate vicinity have it within their
power to aid materially to add ap-
proximately 100000 acres of land
to the public domain. They can man
ufacture sentiment rapidly to bring
about the accomplishment of results
in that direction. They will have a
large contingent in congress with
them next winter which has already
given public expressions as to- what
its future policy will be in relation
to Indian government and Indian
lands.
Of the widespread effect of the
plan proposed, should it meet with
success, no one would attempt at this
time to make predictions in detail
1t simply means the adding of an
empire in itself to the already great
commonwealth Of Montana. 1t means
homes for many thousands of white
settlers and will leave the Indians
with more land than the tribe will ever
be able to take care of.
Let us demand that the reservation
lines be reduced to the Big Horn
river.
