ROOSEVELT SIGNS.
President Puts His Name to
Panama Treaty Ratification.

Washington. Feb. 25.-President

changes will be made at the state de-
partment between Secretary Hay, act
ing for the United States and Mr..

CAMPAIGN PLANS.
Senator Scott Confers With
President Roosevelt.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Scott
of West Virginia had a long conference
with the president today discussing
fully with him matters relating to ma
tional politics. Quite naturally among
other topics considered was the chair
manship of the Republican national
committee. Several men since the
death of Senator Hanna have been
mentioned in connection with the chair
manship, but thus far the subject has
not proceeded beyond the realm of sug-
geStion-
Among the names of men proposed
for the Craftsmanship are former Gov
ernor Murray Crane. of Massachusetts:
Postmaster General Henry C. Payne,
CT Wisconsin. now acting chairman of
the committee: Senator Boies Penrose.
of Pennsylvania; Senator Scott. of
West Virginia. and Gen. Charles Dick,
of Ohio. who next week probably will
be elected to succeed Hanna in the
senate.
Mr.. Crane is a personal friend of Pres
ident Roosevelt and one of his closest
political advisers. The president desires
in the event of his nomination for the
presidency that Mr.. Crane should be iden-
titled in an important capacity with the
conduct of the presidential campaign, but
it is known that Mr.. Crane hesitates to
undertake the responsibility of directing
the campaign chairman on account
of his health

placed under arrest late yesterday by
Captain of Police Mat Trum, on war
rant sworn out by J. H. Lonergan-
They were released at once on their

street line

A GREEDY MONOPOLY.

IF'rom the st. Louis Post-Dispatch. ]
The facts about the paper combine
show a complete monopoly sheltered by
the tariff.
To satisfy the greed of this trust, the
tariff on wood pulp is from 50 to Sc a
ton. Safe from competition it has
raised the price SO high and reduced
the production so low that a paper
famine is threatened.
More than $4,000, 600 persons are inter
ested in having newspapers produced
and sold cheaply. That is. every man.

OLDEST BUTTER IN WORLD.
Jar Had Been Buried on Nebraska
Farm Nearly Fifty Years.

san Diego, Cal, Feb. 25-The age of
butter has always been fruitful
theme for the wOuld-be humoriSt. but
the most exaggerated statement hard
ly exceeds the actual facts concerning
some buttor on exhibition in this city.
Mrs. NJ. A. Decatur. mother of J. w.
Thompson, manager of the Postal Tele-
graph company in this city, is in re-
ceipt of a sample jar of butter made
in 1858.

was on Nebraska farm near Decatur.

the farm was a never-failing spring,

time, were credited with having apprO

fell into disuse.
A few days ago a party of hunters
discovered on the old farm the rim of
buried jar, which they fondly hopad
might be a stpot of gold" but which
proved, when unearthed. to be the
long-lost Jar of butter. When exposed
to the air the jar crumbled to dust, but
the butter remained intact. Although
covered with green mold. the main
body of the butter was of the original
color and consistency.
A small piece was sent to Mrs. De-
catur. while the large part has been
placed in cold storage. and no doubt
