that the elbow grease is as much lack

there was not enough power left to

AS soon as the accident happened a
force of men were put on the line and
if money and carpenters can make the
repairs it will be done in hurry.
The gang of men that have been in
this city since the general work Of
stretching wires and such work was
finished have all been sent to the scene
A number of them will go onto the
high tension wires and take out the
slack. Before the men left there was
a short strike. There was some kind

was that all the available men were

GERMANY TO EXPEL MORMONs.
Not Because They Are Americans, but
Because OF Their Religion.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-That Germany in
tends to expel all Mormons from her terri
tory is the opinion expressed by Charlie
magne Tower, United States Ambassador
at Berlin, in report to the State Depart
ment in regard to the exclusion Of American
Mor1nons who have been PROSECUTING in
that country. Mr.. Tower made an investi
CATION of the circumstances Of the expulsion
of the Mormon missionaries and reached
the conclusion that they were not discrimi-
mated against because they were Americans,
but because OF their religion. which, to
quote the Off cial statement obtained by
the Ambassador, docs not exclude polyg-
amy"
While the State Department will carefully
consider the advisability Of taking action
in the matter, it is not likely that the German
Governments right to expel the Mormons
will be questioned, unless the Department
should satisfy itself that the Mormon
Church has actually abandoned polygamy
as matter of faith as well as Of practice.
Some evidence that this is not 80 has been
furnished to the Department by gentle
ministers of Salt Lake City, who allege.
among other things, that President Smith
Of the Mormon Church has more than one
wife and was accompanied to St Louis
on the occasion Of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition dedication last week by one OF
his plural wives.
The authorities of the Mormon Church
have made a protest to the State Depart
ment against the action o. the German
Government, in which they allege that the
expulsion Of the missionaries was a viola
ton OF their rights as American citizens.

BINdHAMToS, NY, May6-E NJ Shepard
and Mayor Osborne of Auburn were the
principal speakers at a large Democratic
banquet held in this city this evening. Mr..
Shepard's subject was Duties of Patriotic
Opposition" He criticised President
Roosevelt for utterances recently made
in st. Louis, and devoted much of his speech
to lauding Grover Cleveland and indors-
ing those things advocated by Mr.. Cleve-
lands adherents. He criticised the Adj
mnistraton policy in the Philippines.
In regard TO the trust problem he said
that the Republican party should be turned
out of power because ut has not done one
thing TO prevent, and has done very many
things to promote, the destruction of this
middle and independent class"
Referring to the smaller manufacturers
which he declared the trusts are crushing.
he summed up the duties of patriotic
opposition to he to stand first and fore
most for resolute tariff reform, beginning
with goods which have fallen into monopo-
listic hands, a resolute and practical pre-

OPPOSITION TO CANAL TREATY..
The President OF Colombia Hesitates to
Call . Special Session Of Congress.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-According to de-
spatches received in Washington the oppo
sition in Colombia to the ratification of the
Panama Canal treaty is SO strong that
President Marroquin has not decided
whether it would be wise to call a special
session of Congress to consider the agree
ment. The President is heartily in favor
of the treaty. believing that his Government
is already morally pledged to its terms.
1t was his intention to call the extra
session for some time this month, but the
returns of the recent general election in
dictate that those opposed to the canal will
control the national legislature, and for
that reason President Marroquin wants to
win over some of the indictments to his
side before inviting formal action on the
treaty.
While the reports that movement is
on foot to ma Ike the Department of Panama,
embracing the Isthmus, independent of
the rest of Colombia have not been con-
firmed. they are received with cheerfuness
in Washington. as by the terms of the CO.
lombian Constitution, the President ia
invested with such extraordinary powers
in time of rebellion or great public emer-
gency that he could ratify the treaty by
executive act without obtaining the con-
sent of Congress.

THE GENEVA CONFERENCE.
President Designates the Delegates to
Represent the Unit ed States.

WASHINGTON, May e.-The delegates to
represent the United States at the inter-
national conference at Geneva, Switzer-
land, in September. for the PURPOSE Of
revising and extending the Geneva treaty
of 1854, under which the various Red Cross
societies are recognized, have been formally
designated by the President They are:
Francis B. Loomis, Assistant Secretary
of State; Brig. Gen. George B. Davis, Judge
Advocate General OF the Army. and Com
mander Nathan Sargent, U. S.N
Gen. Davis is one Of the first authorities
of the world on military law and is an au-
thor of a standard text book on interna-
and active experience in the diplomatic
and consular service, and Commander
Sargent is one OF the most highly consid-
cred officers Of the navy. He Is an accom-
plished linguist, and his selection is re-
garded as an admirable one.
Many important topics will be considered
by the international conference, chiefly
looking to the elimination OF the suffering
and horrors Of war. All the important ma
tions will take part in the conference. 1t
nation Of bodies on the field prior to their
inhumation or incarceration. for it is a we'll
known fact that the hasty burials too
often made after battle result in the in
terment OF men who are stunned only.
1t is also proposed that a clause shall be
added to the international treaty provid-
ing that every officer or soldier shall
bear upon his person a mark making it
easy to establish his identity
An important suggestion is also made
that field hospitals and other temporary
establishments of that sort following
troops on the field of battle to receive the
sick and wounded men shall be considered
neutral under all circumstances. and that
if they fall into the hands of the enemy it
shall be their duty to return them to the
army when they are no longer required
for the care OF the sick. The adoption of
this provision would mark an important
and humane advance.
1t is also proposed to discuss the ques-
ton whether there is substantial reason for
retaining as the sole distinctive sign red
cross on a white field, or whether 1t would
be proper to allow exceptions in the case of
non Christian countries. such as Turkey.
which has substituted red crescent for
the red cross.

POWDER THROWN INTO THE SEA.
$40, 900 Worth That Is Said to Have Been
Good Cast Overheard.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-Acting Secretary
of the Navy Darling has under considera-
ton q report of naval board showing that
good smokeless powder and shells valued
in the neighborhood Of $40 900 were thrown
overheard from the flagship Olympia by
order of Rear Admiral Coghlan under the
impression that they had so deteriorated
as to become danger Gus. This report was
received yesterday. 1t indicates that the
action OF Admiral Coghlan was legal. au-
thority having been given for the destruc-
ton Of ammunition found to be defective:
but in view OF the finding Of the board that
the material thrown overheard was good
the Navy Department will make q fuller IN
quiry into the case.
While the Olympia was looking out for
American interests in the waters OF Hon
duras in March it was reported to Admiral
Coghlan that large quantity of smokeless
powder in the magazines had deteriorated.
A board OF officers was appointed. and it
reported that the ammunition was in bad
condition and recommended that it be
disposed Of at once. Admiral Coghlan
and as the powder would fall into the
hands OF the native insurgents II It we're
landed, he decided to cast 1t into the sea.
report OF his action was sent to the
Navy Department by Admiral Co4hlan
It was estimated at that time that the am.
than $4,000, but subsequent inquiry has
shown that it's value was about $4,000.
The Bureau OF Ordnance, to which the
report .. admiral Coghlan was referred
would not believe that the powder was
defective, and insisted on fuller investiEa-
ton. Under orders from the Navy De-
partment the Olympia proceeded to Pensa-
cola, where she was boarded by Lieut..
Volney o. Chase, assistant In the 0rdnanc
Bureau, and Chemist Patterson from the
Naval Proving Ground at Indian Head,
both experts in explosives, who had been
appointed by the Department to make
thorough chemical test OF the alleged de-
fective powder. 1t is shown by their report
that all the requirements of the naval regu-.
lations in regard to the condemnation Of
defective ammunition were complied with
by Admiral Coghlan, but they maintained
that the statement made to the Admiral
as to the faulty condition OF the powder
was erroneous.
