MONDAY EVENING. AUG. Il, 1908.

President RoOsEvELT's clay ser
NOM before the Holy Name Society of
Brooklyn yesterday is a prominent fea-
ture of today's newspapers. The address
was a protest against Christian weak
lings and weakling Christians and a de-
mand for religious life made up not
only Of piety but Of strength and the
courage to fight every battle Of life
Among other things the President
said
,The future welfare Of the nation de-
pends on the way we can combine IN our
Young men decency and strength. 1t Is
peculiarIy incumbent on you who are
strong to set examples. You can re-
tain your self-respectif you are loose ana
foul of tongue The man who wants 70
lead q clean and honorable life must
inevitably suffer if his speech IS not IKE
wise clean and honorable. Our whole
edort in this country should be toward
blending the strong qualities with the
virtues in the breast of every citizen.
don't want to see Christianity pro-
tossed only by weaklings. | don't want
to see Won lose any Of your courage by
being decent. On the contrary, l want
YOU to have that spirit Of bravery in
vour hearts so that should there ever
come a time-which may heaven forbid
when war should come you will be all
the filter to fight. The most effective way
to preach is by your practice. There Is
no use preaching to be brave if you run
away. There Is no use preaching to
them TO tell the truth if you don't tell
f. There is no use telling them to be
unselfsh if they see that you are selfish.
Prove by your deeds that yours IS not
merely lip loyalty"
There is nothing in the above to which
any one can take exception. A liked
and steady purpose of mind to follow
these principles in the letter and spirit
would produce much good.

powers the Bulgarian government accuses
Turkey of practicing every known mode
of oppression in its administration Of at
fairs in Macedonia under the promised
plan of reform in that disturbed prov
ince The document, after reciting in
minute detail scenes ofinstances in which
murder, rapine and pilage have been car
ried on by Turkish soldiers and Bashl
Bazocks, declares in imprisoned terms
that the Bulgarian population Of Mace
donia have grown tired Of waiting for the
fulflment of promises, and, despairing
of a betterment Of conditions by other
means. have thrown themselves into a
revolution, which is now spreading in an
Ottoman province $50 miles from the
Bulgarian frontier, and for which the
Porte alone is responsible 1t will be
well to act upon the injunction audi
alteram parton, and suspend judgment.
Probably Turkey can repute this ar

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence Of the Alexandra Gazette.I
Washington, ID. c., August II.

CORRESPONDENCE Of the Alexandra Gazelbt.I
Washington, d. c., August II.
Mr. Herran, the Colombian represen-
tative here, this afternoon received a
later dispatch announcing that the
Panama canal treaty had been rejected,
thus fully confirming the State Depart
ment advices. So far as Colombia Is
concerned it is believed that this action
of the Colombian Senate puts an end to
anv interest that country might have IN
an isthmian canal. Although the Colon
bian constitution requires that the treaty
should be referred to both houses OF
Congress, it is not expected that the
canal question will be taken up in the
House at all. If it should be it would
necessarily have to be i'll an amended
form and the United States is
in no mood to accept notifications
Of the treaty Of any sort. With
in the next few days, it is con-
fidenhy cxpCc,ed, as a result of this
action. that news will be received here
of the establishment of new republic
on the isthmus of Panama. The state
Of Panama has long been threatening to
sever its relations with the parent
country unless favorable action was taken
on the canal treaty. In that document
the Panama people believed their future
existence depended. The completion OF
the canal through their territory by the
United States meant business and riches
for them; to allow the United States to
dig elsewhere would mean poverty and
isolation. 1t is known here that officers
Of the new government have already
been chosen, even to the representative
to the United States.
Officials of the Interior Department
claim that the charges recently brought
bv Samuel NJ. Brosius, General Agent
of the Indian Rights Association, have
been the subject Investigation for some
time in the Department. In the absence
of Secretary Hitchcock, his private sec
rotary, Scott Smith, said this morning.
There is nothing new is this matter
The secretary set on footan investigation
of these charges several weeks ago, and
it is still in progress. so far as persons
connected with the Department are con-
cerned, nothing criminal has been
charged. The features of the case that
involve employees of the Department of
Justice have been referred to Attorney
General Knox" Officials of the Indian
Bureau decline to discuss the matter ex-
cept to say that there are many incon-
gruities and inaccuracies in Mr.. BrOsius'
report. The Brosius charges in sub
stance are that real estate concerns, in
which various government officials are
said to be interested, have swindled the
Indians by securing long leases on the
finest grazing lands at ridiculously low
figures, have defaulted in their payments
aud have continued to hold the lands
despite the protests of the Indians
Secretary Root willremain at the head
Of the War Department after his return
from Europe and probably until the re-
tirement of Lieutenant General Young,
on January next. Although no def
mite official announcement has been
made as to his successor, the general
understanding is that Gov. Taft will be
the next Secretary of War.

Serious Complications Expected,

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. l7.-Compli-
cations of serious nature are expected
when the anthracite mine Cancellation
board meets Thursday, at Pottsville, if, as
reported, District President Dettery, Of
the United Mine Workers, will refuse to
abide by possible decision by Carroll
d. Wright, the umpire of the board, that
the companies may blacklist employees,
when that question reaches him. Opera
tors will insist that the miners represent
atiyes shall promised to abide by Mr..
Wright's decision before the question is
submitted to him. Superintendent War
riner, of this city, who introduced areso-
luton at the last meeting of the
Cancellation board, providing that
the board shall not hear cases
of the discharged men unless it is
alleged they were discharged because
they were members of labor unions, will
ask that action be taken on this subject
Thursday. He says the sessions of the
board will be endless unless this is done.
The vote will be tic, is is said, and the
umpire will have to cast the deciding
vote. District President T. d. Nichols
of the United Mine Workers. member of
the conciliotion board, denies that the
question of the employers right to dis
charge for any reason other than men,
bership in labor organization is the
primal question on which the board
dead-locked. The demand of the rock
mems union that its members shall share
in the award is the main point of dis
pute, Mr.. Nichols says.

The SEABoARD AIR LINE. what
terms the Seaboard Air Line was turned
over to the Rock Island are not known
except to the parties negotiating. One
may believed the very shrewd gentlemen
who run the Rock Island outfit made
their own bargain, knowing the necessi-
ties of the seller. The road could not
go TO the other southern lines, because
of State laws. 1t had to go somewhere,
and the Rock Island filled the gap. The
requirement of this property puts the
last touch of complexity on the Rock
Island system. A map of that system
now must look like crazy quilt

NEGROES EXCLUDED.-A street fair,

WARDEN ALLAGOOD REsIGNs.-The
Georgia Prison Commission, which has
been investigating the whipping Of
Mamie Decris, white convict at the
state prison farm, made its report on
Saturday. With the report came the
announcement of the resignation of
Warden Allagood, whose conduct in
furnishing Miss Decris was under inyes-
tigation. The charges of improper pro-
posals by Allagood alleged by the woman
and accusation of similar conduct toward
other female cOnvicts, are found "absO-
lutely false and malicious. The report
saws the warden acted entirely within
his authority in whipping Miss Decris
and that he was led to it by extreme ag-
gravation of the ofiense. The commits
sion concludes that this particular pun
ishment was "an error on the part of the
warden" who, recognizing that his use
fulness may have been impaired "by
reason of the prejudice which has been
created against him by gross misrepre-
sentation OF the facts of the case, has
voluntarily rendered his resignation.
The resignation was accepted.

LANDSLIDE REVEALS MAMMOTH. -

LANDSLIDE REVEALS MAMMOTH.
The Academy of Sciences in St. Peters
burg lately received an extraordinary ac-
QUESTION: complete gigantic mammoth
with even its skin in perfect state of
preservation. When the news came
that such a mammoth had been found
the academy sent out an expedition
under Dr. Otto Herr to the spot, wild
place on the bank of the Beresoyka
river, where recent landslide had dis
closed the gigantic animals body. The
hide was perfect and alone weighed
$40 pounds 1t is covered with thick,
strong hair from eight to twenty inches
long. The flesh, according to expert
biologists, must have lain in the earth
and ice about 10000 years. 1t is
bloodred and has a certain elasticity.
Between the flesh and the hide is coat
ing of fat three inches and half thick,
which must have enabled the mammoth
to bear the most intense cold.
