RELIEF FOR MINERS FAMILIES.
Red Cross Society Asked to Take
Charge of Funds.

DENVER, Col. July 19.--The ways and
means committee of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners has appealed to the Red
Cross Society TO take charge of the us
tribution of funds and the general relief
work for families of deported miners in
the Cripple Creek district. A communica-
ton addressed to Mrs. John A. Logan,
president of the society. reads in part:
After having deported from their homes
the husbands and fathers. they now refuse
to allow relief in the way of foods and
clothing to be issued to the wives and chill
dren unless 1t be through the hands of the
military authorities
I'VE do not feel justified in trusting the
matter of relief to the military, feeling
satisfied that owing to the hatred they have
shown to our people they would not faith
fully carry out this great trust.
Now, therefore knowing II to be the
mission OF the Red Cross Society of which
you are the official head to take charge of
and as much as possible eliminate suffering
caused by the cruelties OF war; we earnest-
ly appeal TO you to arrange to have your
noble organization take charge of the dis
tribution OF food and clothing to the FAM
tiles OF deported citizens of Teller county.
We will furnish all necessary supplies and
only ask that your organization take charge
OF the distribution OF the samA."

RED SEA EXPLOITS.
Russians Rejoice Over the Volunteer
Fleet Steamers

ST. PETERSBURG, July 19-Without
discussing in any way the international
questions involved, the newspapers here are
all rejoicing over the exploits of the vol
unteer fleet steamers in the Red sea. The
Novoe Vremya says the work they are
doing vindicates the wisdom of establish
ing the fleet, which was begun by national
subscription when the country was too i'm
pOverished to build the vessels after the
Turko- Russian war. 1t was the pioneer
subsidized line of auxiliary cruisers which
most countries have since initiated.
The Novoe Vremya adds that there is
plenty of scope for the fleet in European,
Atlantic and Pacific waters. BY threaten
ing to deprive the Japanese of arms and
munitions 1T can compel the detachment Of
part of the japanese fleet This is why the
appearance of the volunteer fleet in the
Red sea is hailed with much satisfaction.
Besides the Smolensk, st. Petersburg and
Orel-the latter now being fitted out as a
hospital Ship only the Kherson, Saratof
and Moskva have a speed of nineteen to
twenty knots. The other eleven vessels of
the fleet register about thirteen knots
Some of the recently purchased transat-
lantic liners might. however, be outfitted
as commerce destroyers, and six weeks
ago the Associated Press was informed that
such was the purpose Of the admiralty.

CONFIDENCE IN sToEssEI
Besieged at Port Arthur Fear No jap
Invasion

MUKDEN, July ia letter received here
from Port Arthur shows that the besieged
have implicit confidence in the ability of
Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel to keep out the Japa-
nese. The writer says:
Lieut.. Gen. Stoessers certainty Of VIC
tory has impaired equal confidence to all
the troops and inhabitants. Major General
Fock is now engaged In resisting the pres
sure of the Japanese at our advance posi-
tions and the siege will drag on for a long
time General Kondratieff is adding to the
Notifications of Port Arthur, making them
stronger daily. On hills previously consid-
cred impossible to fortify batteries and en-
trenchments have now been constructed
and guns of both large and small caliber
have been mounted. The cooperation of
the general has made Port Arthur an mac

such franchise was granted by the Span

ELECTORAL COLLEGE
Juggling With the Table a
Fine Game.
TWO CANNOT AGREE
F THEY ARE OF OPPOSITE Po-
LITICAL FAITH.
They Fail to Unite on the Column in
Which the Doubtful States
Should Be Put.

Inc principal amusement of the poll
tcians these hot days, before the political
ball has opened in earnest, is to juggle with
the electoral college table. It's fine game
and you can make it work out almost any
way you want it to come.
The game is to take the sure DEM
ocratic states, put them in one column, put
the sure" republican states in another col
umn, and then switch the doubtful states
around until you work out the desired sum.
The trouble is that II you are playing with
a man Of opposite political faith the two
Of you cannot agree on the disposition of
those doubtful states, and the game winds
up either in a row or an invitation to
julep.
An Example.
By example, the sure democratic states
with their vote in the electoral college, are
as follows: Alabama, IL; Arkansas. g.;
Florida, 5; Georgia, 13; Kentucky, 13; Louis
lana, 8; Mississippi, 10; Missouri, IS; North
Carolina, II; South Carolina, 9; Tennessee,
IL; Texas. IS; Virginia, -; total. Isl. With
that as starter, Judge Parker is still short
SO votes; where will he run for them?
The states claimed by the republicans as
necticut, Z; Delaware, 3; Illinois, 27; In
diana 10: Iowa, 13; Kansas, 10; Maine, 6;
Massachusetts, 16; Michigan, Il; Minnesota, b,
IL; Nebraska, 8; New Hampshire, 4; New
Jersey, II; North Dakota, 4; Ohio %; Ore
gon, 4; Pennsylvania, "a; Rhode Island, 4;
South Dakota, 4; Utah. ); Vermont, 4;
Washington, 5; Wyoming, 3; total, 244
That shows votes more than enough to
elect Roosevelt, and the republican says,
What's the use of figuring any further:
we got you" But the democrat who is
playing the game says, Hold a bit; We
don't admit those sure states of yours
Just drop out Nebraska, 8. and Connecti-
cut, Z, and put them with the doubtful
states and We will see how We come out
Other Doubtful States.
The other doubtful states are Colorado, g.;
Idaho, 3; Maryland, s; Montana, 8: New
York, 80; Nevada, 3: West Virginia, Z, and
Wisconsin, 13; making a total of 81 lex
elusive of Nebraska and Connecticut So,
with all of the admittedly doubtful states
going democratic. Judge Parker would still
be shy votes, and would have to look to
Nebraska or Connecticut.
But here the republican breaks in and
says. You're not going to get Wisconsin; :;
Just add 13 to your shy column, which
So they have a dispute over Wisconsin and
the democrat winds up by saying that he
Will get Illinois with q. which gives him
to the good, or he will get Indiana and one
OF the coast states and will win out At
that point the issue is usually Joined and
the game stops. 1t Is fine sport, though.

OBJECT TO BEING PICTURED.
Persians Suspicious Of Foreign Tour
ists' Practices.

It appears from correspondence from the
United States vice consul general at Tehe-
ran, Persia, that the authorities and peo-
pie of that country are strongly averse TO
the practice of certain foreign tourists Of
making sketches or taking photographs OF
people and places. The Persian minister
70: foreign affairs wrote to the vice consul
general that this practice was the cause of
suspicion the part of some of the ma
tives and expressing the fear that II 1t IS
continued trouble and difficulty VIII
arise" He. therefore, suggested that whea-
ever traveller or tourist from the United
States desired to visit any part Of Persia,
notice of his arrival and intentions, be hrst
communicated to the ministry for foreign
affairs in order that proper instructions
may be issued 80 as to prevent trouble
and opposition"
Reporting this matter to the State De-
partment, the vice consul general says: In
view Of the great increase in the prac-
tice of sketching and photographing by
people. quite ignorant of the restrictions
and customs prevailing about dwelling
houses and religious buildings, travelling in
different parts of Persia, some such pre-
cautions those proposed in the note may
be the means of preventing insults or even
greater indignities."

BRYAN IN THE FIELD.
Believes That Parker's Election Will
Help Reform Fight

CHICAGO. July 10.-William ]. Bryan
passed through Chicago today for central
Illtnsis. He said that in this weeks issue
of kNS paper he would fulfill the promise
he nzade last week in outlining a plan
of continuing the fight for economical re-
form within the democratic party" Mr..
Bryan said:
THE election of Judge Parker instead Of
interfering with these reforms, will open
the way for successful fight by Kidding
the country of Imperialism. by removing
the race issue and by substituting the
spirit of peaceful progress for the military
and warlike spirit engendered by the ac-
tions and utterances of President Roose-
welt. My statement is intended to encour-
age the reform element in the democratic
party by showing that the fight instead Of
being over has in reality just begun"

PROSPECTS IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Senator Scott's Reasons for Expecting
Republican Success.

RepuDllcan SUCCESS.
Senator Scott of West Virginia was in
town today and despite the hot weather
was able to sit I'D and take notice of
things political. He and Chairman Cortel-
you had their heads together and were In
close confab for quite a while at the ma
tional committees temporary headquarters
at the Arlington.
Senator Scott, while not growing any, be-
cause he knows the republicans are not yet
out of the woods in West Virginia, is still
keeping a stiff upper lip and hopes for the
best. He said today he expected the legis-
lature would take the tax question out of
politics and that would be load off the
minds of the republicans.
Senator Scott can not bring himself to be-
leve that West Virginia can go democratic.
He bases his hope mainly on the ground
that the state is pre-eminently interested
in the maintenance of the protective tariff
system. That question was fought out
with the late William L. Wilson. himself
a West Virginian and leader of the low
tariff forces. and the people of the state
gave their verdict for protection. Senator
Scott says they have never had cause to
regret 1t and he does not believe they can
be weaned away from their best interests
at this time.

Hotel the Mecca.

NEW YORK, July Ex-senator German
as result of the conference Of the dis
tinguished democrats who have been meet
ing here last night and today, has been
asked to become chairman of the demo
cratic national committee. With great re-
luctance he has taken the request under
consideration, but 1t seems certain that he
will decline. William F. Sheehan Is the
next choice, but he also may not accept
chiefly because he regards his health as
unequal to the strain.
Should neither Senator German nor Mr..
Sheehan accept the Craftsmanship, opinion Is
quite uncertain as to who may be chosen.
Judge Parker has declined to say who
should be the chairman. preferring to leave
the matter entirely with his advisers and
the national democratic committee.

York at the suggestion Of former Senator
Henry G. Davis, the democratic candidate

Kern Pushing Taggart.
John w. Kern of Indiana, In discussing
the question of chairman of the democratic
national committee, declared this afternoon
that he was strongly in favor Of Thomas
Taggart for chairman. Mr.. Kern said he
had not seen any difference in the situation
since the last meeting Of the national demo-
cratic committee in st. Louis.
Mr.. Kern was asked If the failure of the
committee to elect Taggart chairman would
have any effect on the vote in Indiana, and
replied II would not like to say that II
would make any difference. for that would
imply a threat"
Mr.. Kern was asked If he thought the re-
peated conferences were due to opposition
on the part of Judge Parker's friends to
the candidacy of Mr.. Taggart for national
chairman. He said in reply:
Il don't know; what New York state
wants is past understanding"
