DEFIEs THE PREsIDENT.-Pres
Roosevelt has interfered in the Utah
Sentorial situation to prevent the election
of Apostle Reed Smoot. The apostle in
Salt Lake City last night gave out state
ment, declaring that he was still in the
race, despite the attitude of the Presi-
dent. With their candidate bidding
defiance and still in the race, his sup
porters have rallied around him, and
there is every indication that he will be
crowded through despite the opposition
of the administration in Washington.
The warming of the President came in
the form of an interview with Senator
Thomas Kearns, of Utah, wired to Salt
Lake Yesterday. The President is re-
ported to have said "The election to
the United States Senate of Mormon
apostle would work great harm to the
state of Utah and would be very I'M
wise"
Apostle Smoot, after reading this in
terview, said:
"This is unprecedented. In any other
State in the Union such action on the
part of the President would be resented.
/ knew Kearns would go to any length
to harm me-"

THE SPIRIT of fraud seems to be ram
pant, and in many localities honor would
seem to be a lost virtue. Very recently 1t
was published that at certain colleges in
the north substitutes were hired by
students to take their examinations, and
in today's papers one reads that in
Philadelphia it is suggested that photo
graphs of students be attached TIC gradu-
alton papers to prevent such frauds. In
the South the honor system prevails in

DISASTROUS FIRE.-One OF the most
disastrous Tres in the history of London,
Ont, occurred last night in the immense
plant of the McClary Manufacturing
Company. A boy working i'll the stamp
ing department dropped burning match
into vat Of oil, and with report like
cannon the oil went up in sheet OF
flame. Like flash it spread on the cell
ing of the room on the first floor and the
employees rushed from the building in
panic. In this portion of the works were
located the stamping room, with 100
presses, the tinsmith department, the
iapanning department, the artists de-
partment and the wrapping rooms, where
tinware is made ready for market.
About 500 men, women and boys were
in the building There was a rush for
the elevator and the stairs. and in ter
rible crash s,orched and smoke-begrim-
med, they reached the street, but none
seriously injured. The fire burned furi-
ously for hours, the fremen being utterly
unable to cope with it. When the first
brigade arrived the hydrants were found
to be frozen, and when the water was
turned into the hose the pressure would
not throw the streams 80 feet. The fire
burned itself out.

THE COAL SUPPLY.-At the conclu-
sion Of yesterdays hearing before Sena-
tor Stewards subcommittee Of the Senate
District of Columbia committee, which
is investigating the local coal situation,
Senator Foster, of Louisiana, made a
statement of the conclusions that had
been reached, based on the evidence sub
mitted. "The investigation" said Sell
ator Foster. "has developed the follow
ing facts: The cost Of mining coal is
practically the same it was before the
strike. Transportation charges are the
same. The Reading Company is placing
coal in Washington at IS. 75a ton and the
PENNSYLVANIA Company at SEA ton. Coal
bought from Independent operators costs
SO a ton on the tracks in Washington.
The independent companies are furnish
ing ten tons of coal to every one ton iur-
nished by the railroad mines, where a
year ago the ratio was reversed, the
railroad mines furnishing ten tons to
every one ton furnished by the indepen-
dent operators. When we discover why
this condition exists, we will have ar
rived at the root of the evil"

Crusade Against Negro OfhcehoIders

New Orleans, Jan. 10.--A special
from Jackson, Miss, says "The
crusade against negro federal office
holders is spreading in Mississippi.
White people have served notice on
the Postmaster at Jackson that the ap-
pointment of negro carriers on the star
mail routes must be discontinued at
once. A notice served on the Jackson
postmaster was followed today by a
similar warning being given the post
office authorities in Lincoln county,
Miss. 1t appears that the postal OIL
cials have employed negro to deliver
the mail on rural route in Lincoln
county, and the white people have not
only informed the inspector that the
negro will not be permitted to perform
the service, but that if the inspector
takes sides with the negro like he did
at Indianola, he will be treated to a
dose OF tar and feathers.
The New Orleans States, the official
organ of the democratic party in the
State of Louisiana and the city of New
Orleans, warns President Roosevelt that
the appointment of negroes to federal
offices in the south will lead to blood
shed, and plainly notifies the President
that the Southern people will not sub
nit to negro rule.

To INVESTIGATE CoNsPIRAcY.-A
special grand jury met in Chicago today
to investigate the alleged conspiracy be-
tween certain coal operators, railroads
and coal dealers to increase the price of
coal on the Chicago market. Atty Gen.
Hamlin will lead the investigation.
He took with him evidence which, he
saws. will show that a conspiracy exists.
and the whole matter will be thoroughly
investigated. A special committee com
posed of members of the Illinois Manu-
facturers and Merchants Association,
called upon States Attorney Deneen, OF
Cook county, last Wednesday, regarding
a special grand jury to probe the alleged
combine. Mr.. Deneen at once took the
matter in hand and consulted Attorney
General Hamlin by long distance tele-
phone. Judge Hamlin, who for seueral
DAYS has been invest eating affairs out
of Springfield, assisted by committee OF
four members, favored the plan, as he
had secured large amount OF evidence
to show that some deal had been planned
by which the price of coal on the Chi
cago and other markets could be kept

VENEZUELA.

The port of Tucacas was reoccupled
Thursday by forces of the Venezuelan
government after a fight with the revo-
lutionists of one hours duration. Tuca-
cas-. which is about forty miles north
west of Puerto Cabello, has been occu-
MED for the last four months by the
revolutionists. 1t has lately been the
point where much of the goods and
ammunition Struggled over from the island
of Curacao have been landed. The revo-
lutionary force under Gen. Ramos,
which was defeated last Sunday near
Guatire, has dispersed. The march OF
the rebels upon Caracas, via Guatlre,
has been completely checked.
The government is most active in pur-
suing the rebels. Another engagement
has taken place near Coro, and resulted
in the rout of the enemy.
The statement that France, owing to
the failure of the Venezuelan govern
ment to pay the installment of the
claims due her, would probably join the
other powers in blockading the coasts is
not true. France will not at present
participate in the blockade. 1t can be
said with authority that the French
colony at Caracas has asked the home
government not 10 take aggressive action
against Venezuela, satisfactory arrange
ments for the settlement OF French
claims being in progress.
As it will be impossible to have the
documents setting forth the Venezuelan
case ready for delivery to United States
Minister Bowen before midnight Of Sat
urday. Mr.. Bowen will not leave Caracas
for Washington before Sunday. He will
sail from La Guayra on the Dolphin.

ANOTHER NEWSPAPER MAN
WRITES US.
Office German Democrat,
San Francisco. July 2 't3

To the Editor of The Gazette:
Dear Sir: For many years an edi-
tor myself, l address you by request
and also as a simple duty. A great
discovery has been made in this city.
1t is fraught with so much Importance
to the people and yet is so hard to
believe, that those who are personally
cognizant should add the weight of
their influence, be it great or small.
l not only know by contact with
many of the beneficiaries but was
myself rescued from Bright's Disease
by it. The cure has been found, and
the difficulty in believing it is costing
many lives. It is astounding how far
our prejudices carry us. But the
great fact is here, and acceptance
means recovery.
After my w unexpected release l
wouldn't let my friends rest and sew
eral took the treatment and recover
ed. One was Charles F. Wacker, the
Sixth street merchant. He had Dia.
betes and thought he was going to
die. He got well and passed for a
$4,000 policy.
l say to you as a brother editor
that those of your friends who have
Diabetes or Bright's Disease, and ev
cry one knows of some, that they car
recover. I will be glad as one of many
survivors out here to give you further
information. Yours, etc,
