AGAINST A MORMON FOR SENATOR
President Roosevelt's Warning to Apostle
Smoot Not Unprecedented.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BUNE.l

Washington jan 10.-The publication of an
interview here to-day with Senator kearns. in
which he says that the President and Senator
Hanna requested him to convey to Apostle Reed
Smoot of Utah the information that they re-
garded his candidacy for the United States Sem
ate to succeed Senator Rawlins inadvisable.
has occasioned considerable comment. Accord
ing to Senator Kearns, the message which he
was to give Mr.. Smoot that while there
was no objection to Mr.. Smoot personally or
to his religious faith, the election of Apostle
would arouse opposition and inject unfortu-
nate question into national politics, and create
unfavorable comment
The news comes from Salt Lake City tonight
that Mr. Smoot persists in his candidacy, and
declares that the Presidents attempted inter-
ference in Utah's choice for the Senae is un-
precedented. While Mr.. Smoot may persist in
his candidacy, he is mistaken in his assertion
that the Presidents action is unprecedented
It is recalled that when Senator Rawlins was
a candidate for the Senate Mr. Thatcher a
Mormon also entered the race, and Mr.. CIeve-
land emphatically protested against the ad-
visibility of a Mormon representing Utah in
the Senate
Pre-tdent Mckinley warned Mr.. Smoot him
self two yoars ago that it would be unwise for
him 70 aspire to the Senate because of ms
known position of the twelve apostles

once occupied seat in the House, but he was
only evangelist and was not, in that ca
pacity. so closely affiliated with the govern
ment of the Mormon Church is Mr.. Smoot-
There is criticism of Senator Kearns
for making public the interview, but he says
that such was the President $ desire as II was

Unidentified Man Seizes Little

SCARED AWAY BY SCREAMS.
Convict Has Revealed Plot by
Which 1t Was Intended to
Obtain Revenge for Per-
uniting Execution.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 26.-It developed to-
day thai an attempt was made last night
TO kidnap the 8-year-old daughter Of Gov
ernor Mickey.
While four of the Governors children
were playing in front of the mansion an
unidentified man came along and tried to
carry the Oldest girl away.
The other children chung to his clothes
and screamed. The man was so badly
frightened when he saw %neighbors coming
that he dropped the child and ran.
Governor Mickey says that the Warden
Of the P~enitentiary, Mr.. Beemer, reported
to him twice that a KIDNAPPING attempt had
been prophesied by convicts.
One convict said some time g that
such a plan had been formed as a way Of
getting revenge upon the Governor for his
refusal to interfere when William Rhea
was hanged last summer for murder.
A convict who had been in the plot says
a convict 500 to be released had been as
signed to kidnap one of the children to
teach the Governor a lesson"

There was no trouble last night among
the woodsmen who arrived from the

their arrival because of what they termed
the double dealing of the company in not
having anybody at the train to meet them,
as they said had been promised before
leaving the woods.
A mass meeting of the woodsmen was
held and Mayor Plummer addressed them.
He urged the men to be calm and face
the situation in the best manner possible.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. Sept. 26.-The opening trad
inp on the Stock Exchange this morning
showed a slightly improved tone from
| that OF Thursday and yesterday. with
heavy liquidation practically at an end,
but the early gains were lost toward the
end of the last hour. and the appearance
of the bank statement. showing a de-
crease of $751; 900 in deposits, was the
signal for a general decline. in which
many sales were. carried below yester-
days low figures.
Prior to the announcement of the bank
statement. there was nothing in the news
developments of the day to strengthen
tearish sentiment.
The most striking decline occurred in
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. 1t sold as low
as Bic. compared with yesterdays clos
ing of S5A. Metropolitan lost SO points and
Manhattan 2. while the largest decline in
the active railroad list was of 2s points
in Baltimore and Ohio. That stock sold
under "a. There were declines of from 8
to 5 points In inactive issues, which rep
resented forced liquidation.
The United States Steel shares were rel
atively under less pressure than of late,
though the common touched Is. the bot
tom figure for it. and the preferred sold
at coz. There was a further slump in
Steel bonds to 70h. a loss of q point for
the day. Just before the closing, the mar
ket rallied slightly.
The selling Of the last half hour was so
violent that all of the rumors of the past
few days We're put in circulation again.
The weakness of Brooklyn Rapid Transit
especially attracted attention. The gen.
eral belief was that the heaviness of the.
market was largely due to forced selling,
resulting from the calling of loans on in
dividual accounts. Commission-houses did
not figure as sellers to n extent.
Leading houses again said to-day that
the situation was perfectly sound, and
that, so far as they knew, no houses were
In any way embarrassed. One of the best
known bank presidents, in the clearing
house., declared that the loan held by the
banks were safe I'M exceedingly well
margined.
He said that the bank were doing a
conservative business, and, while the de-
cline in prices seemed to lead to many ap-
p~rehensions, there was no indication of
any trouble.
Within the last few days the banks, he
said. had considered the situation from all
points of view, and representatives of
many of the leading banks had been in
communication to-day. The consensus OF
opinion favored the continuance Of the
liquidation in the stock market to a mod
crate extent.

NEW YORK STnNECUTTERS
MAY FORCE A LOCKOUT.
Refuse to Sign Arbitration Plan or
Work with Members of the
Newly Formed Unions.

New York. Sept. 2s-Another general
shutdown of all building operations in
this city. directly involving more than a
hundred thousand employees, is believed to
be a possibili y. owing to the refusal of
the i~ourneymen stonecutters to either
sign the arbitration plan of the Building
Trades Employers Association or to work
with members OF new uniops formed un-
der the auspices OF that association.
As a consequence of this action, the con-
tractors are unable to finish buildings now
under construction, and after a long d s.
cussioE have referred the entire matter
to the Mason Builders Board of Govern
ors. Should a lockout be determined upon
more thar one hund ed thoCsaid men in
all branches would be thrown out OF
work However. such drastic action is
scarcely probable.
Sailors are being employed on several
big buildings TO take the places of strik-
ing structural iron workers. HI employ
ers assert that the experiment has proved
q great success, because the men OF the
sea are accustomed to climb ng about
high in the air. The difficulty lies in the
scarcity of men caring to desert their life
at sea.

London, Sept. a.-Some alarm was
caused to-day when It became known that
Doctor Frederick Treyes, the famous ex-
pert in diseases of the appendix, has been
called to Balmoral Castle and was at
tending the King.
One report had it that the King was
not Ill. but slight disquieting symptoms
had become manifest as a result Of the
fatigue from his trip to Scotland, ana
that he wished to consult Doctor Treves.
This report was later confirmed by care
London. 1t was said that there was no
reason for alarm.
Doctor Treyes had informed his friends
that he was going to Balmoral thirty
six hours before he left. He said his visit
would be merely q formal one. He be-
heyed. however that the King wished to
have a medical consultation with him.
