Tomne Is interviewed.


 "The democratic party always admin istered. the government with prudence and economy. The republican party Is party of extremes, and has been waste full and extravagant in its expenditure of government funds. More money is being collected in the form of taxes than is necessary for an economical agreement of the government, both national and state, and if the republican party is continued in power, still larger taxes and greater expenses will follow, as their leaders tell us they propose to pursue the same policy in the future they have in the past.
 Greater Than Preceding Year.
 "The expenditures for the fiscal year, 1904, were greater than for the preceding year, and the appropriations already made for the year 1905, are larger than those for 1904. And this notwithstanding the fact that no river and harbor bill was passed at the last session. Appar- entity in futile attempt to keep down expenses. and also to prevent examina- tions into the postoffice and land frauds, congress at it's last session was brought to a close earlier than any long session since 1860.'
 He then reviewed the government re- ports on the revenues for the last year declaring that the revenues are falling off, while the expenses have been greatly increased Both parties, he said, are com. mitted to the gold standard and 1t Is nc longer an issue before the people.
 Republican speakers he said, "ac cuse the democratic party of being free traders. From the days of Jefferson, ir 1S0O to those of Lincoln in 1S60 the dem ocrats practically controlled the govern ment During all that time with the ex. ception of a short interval Immediately following the war of 1872. the expenses oi the government were paid almost entirely from customs duties, there were practi. cally no internal revenues then, and vel under these democratic tariff laws the country prospered and grew from na- ton of 100000 to one of 3O,000.Oo0 of happy and contented people"
 Position on Tariff.
 He reiterated his belief 'in tariff that will yield sufficient revenues for the economical and proper expenditures of the government" in which he believed "in- cidental protection to our industries IS right and proper
 After citing the tariff coal as evi- dence against protetive tariff, he con- tlnued:
 That that tariff as a whole needs re- vision, IS plainly manifest. Com bined as IL is at present with trusts, 1t permits or too large a profit on many articles of pro duction, stifies individual enterprise, brings on strikes and disturbs generally the business interests of the country.

Many manufacturers under present conui- tions sell their goods cheaper abroad than at nome."
 He enumerated many articles which he said were sold cheaper abroad than Tn this country. He regretted that the na- tional platform of the republican party raised the race issue. and continued:
 On the Race Issue.
 "The southern people who have to bear the burden of this question, were dealing with 1t fin moderation and fairness, but it's unfortunate agitation by republican leaders has made it's solution more diffi- cult and hindered the efforts of those who were honestly striving to aid the colored people in uplifting their race A large ma jority, over a million, of the white vot- CTS of this country, are democrats.

WAR INEVITABLE
AND IMMEDIATE
Negotiations Between Two Nations
Have Passed Diplomatic Stage.
RUSSIA MASSING HER TROOPS
Special Dispatches From Toxic Say
Situation Is Very wnrIike and
That Japan Has No Idea of
Sending UItimatum.

Pekin, Jan. 11.-Predictions in the
native press that war is inevitable
and immediate and that China will
certainly be involved are causing great
uneasiness.
Meny Chinese fear a repetition of
the scenes of pillage and murder which
made the year 1900 memorable.
Numbers of the employees on the
railroad between New Chwang and
Shan Hal Kwan have deserted their
posts, thinking that the country ira
versed by the railroad will surely be
the scene of the fighting.
Reports from Manchuria are to the
effect that there is great military ac-
tivity there. The railroads are bring
ing troops from Russia, and the wOm-
en- and children at Port Arthur and
New Chwang are preparing to leave.
The Russian general at New Chwang
has been called to Port Arthur for
service. Every steamer for japan IS
carrying the Japanese from north
China who belong to the reserves.
The Japanese censorship of military
news gives opportunity for all kinds Of
rumors here, one of which is that Jap
anese troops have been landed at Fu-
san, Corea. AS cable communication
with Corea is through Japan, it is i'm
possible to obtain reliable news.

Many were killed and wounded in a

A man named Pierce, an American,

minister of war in the Jiminez govern
ment, to United States Minister Pow

the government authorities, who took
the message from him and sent him
back.
In his communication Gen. Navarro
requested Minister Powell to intervene
with the provisional government, but
the minister refuses to treat with the
general.
San Pedro de Macoria is quiet. The
situation here remains unchanged, but
matters are complicated because it
is impossible to foresee the duration OF
the revolution or it's outcome. Bus1-
ness in general is suffering in conse-
quence.

LAST OF THE "OLD GUARD" "
Gen. Gordon, Famous Confederate
Commander, Passes Peacefully
Away at Miami, Fla.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 11.-Lieut.-G
John Brown Gordon died at his win
ter home near Miami, Fla, at 1905
Saturday night. His bearing during
the civil war was characterized by
boldnesS and a dash which made him
the idol of his soldiers. In an official
report of Gen. D. H. Hill, Gen. Gordon
was characterized as the chevalier
Bayard of the confederacy.
When hostilitieS were ended he
called his men about him and advised
them to bear the trial of defeat, to go
home in peace, obey the laws and re-
build the wasted country.
Since his retirement from political
activity he has devoted much of his
time to lecturing, presenting to the
north as well as to the south his lee
ture up "The Last Days of the Con-
federacy."
Since the organization of the United
Confederate Veterans he has held the
position of it's commander-in-chief, and
his frequent reflections to that posi-
ton have testified to the warmth of
affection in which he has been held
in the south.
The remain will be SHIPPED from Mi
ami this morning and will reach At
lanta, Ga. Tuesday morning. At the
request of Gov. Terrell of Georgia,
Gen. Gordon's body will lie in state in
the capitol for several days.

REMARKABLE JAIL ESCAPE,

Springfield, Mass, Jan. 11.-William
J. Reid, alias L. o. Hoffman, who is
charged with swindling 80 hotels of
about $4,000 from the Atlantic to the
Pacific in 1902, and is now under SEN
tences aggregating ten years for these
offenses, broke Jail here Sunday under
remarkable circumstances and is still
at large.
To accomplish his escape he un-
locked nine doors and sawed through
three chains, visited six different
rooms of the county jail, passed in
front of several guards and finally
climbed an 18-foot wall. All this was
done about three o'clock Sunday morn
ing, yet he was not missed until seven

three months and, so far as the prison

Let war cease altogether and ma
tion will become effeminate," said he.
"Of course, wars involve loss of life and
property, and the inevitable penalty of
sorrow to many hearts"-here the stern
face sOftened lightly-"but it brings its
reward in a renewed and vigorous
manhood. And it is my belief war will
continue as long as this world whirls. 3"
Gen. Chaffee, like Gen. Young, whom
he succeeds, has run the gamut from
private in the ranks to the highest mil
itary rank in the army. He was born
in Ashtabula county, o. AT the age of
19 he enlisted at Warren, o.. as a pri-
vate in the Sixth United States regular
cavalry. and served through the civil
war. From 1865 TO 1896 he was on the
western frontier fighting Indians, and
the following year was in charge of the
Fort LeavenwOrth training school. Af-
terward he was in command of the cav
airy training school at Fort Riley, and
in May, 1898, he started for Cuba. Since
the Spanish war he has been with the
American forces in China and the Phil
ippines.
Gen. Geo. L. Gillespie, who has been
since May, 1901, chief of engineers,
succeeds Gen. Chaffee as assistant chief
of staff with the rank of major-gener
al. This is the first time that an en-
gineer officer has been in the line of
supreme command of the army in so
years, Gen. McComb being the last Of
ficer in that branch of the service to
occupy such a position.

WAS NOT THE FIRST FIRE.
The IrOquOis Theater. I'm Chicago,
Had Fire the Very First
Night 1t Was Opened.

Chicago, Jan 10-Sworn testimony
was given, Saturday, that a fire broke
out in the Iroquois theater the very
first night that the theater was opened.
This first fire only preceded by few
weeks the great disaster which resulted
in the loss of hundreds of lives.
The testimony regarding the fact of
the initial blaze was given by John
Bickles, a workman employed on the
construction of the theater. He said:
81 was in the basement the night the
theater opened, in a short passage
southwest of the stage. A heard loud
report, and flames came over the parti-
tions over my head-the partitions in
the basement under the stage. The par
titions rise from the floor about eight
feet, but do not reach the ceiling. The
flames came from another room from
where I happened to be. There was a
crowd rushing around the door, and |
could not see in. l was told it was
some kind of a gas tank that exploded. "
In the light of this evidence the rec
ord of testimony taken to date shows
that there were two previous direct
warning to the IroquoiS management
before the catastrophe. Joseph Dough.
erty, curtain manager, has testified dur
ing the fire department investigation
that there was fire on the stage a
week before the holocaust.
William Sleek, of New York, a MEM
Der of the "Bluebeard' company, tes-
titled that a small fire occurred in a
theater in Cleveland while the COM
pany was filling an engagement in that
city. At that time some fans, used in
a scene caught fire.

London, Jan. 11.-Special dispatches
from Toxic printed in this morning S
papers are very warlike, but add lit
tie or nothing to the knowledge of the
situation. They reiterate that Japan

Anxiety is apparently felt in Toxic

story to the effect that an iron bar was
found inside the ammunition hold of

that it short-circuited the electrical ap-
paratus, with, it is suggested, the
object of destroying the vessel, al
though there is no evidence to show
that its being there was not accidental.
No serious damage was done.

Loves Power

It is a mistake to say that the intense
love of any true soul is selfish. A right
love does not confine our affection and
admiration to that one person. and
cause us to have less care for others.
If we rightly love any one person, we
are prompted by that love to love
gratefully God who gave us that love,
and then to have new love, and more
of it, for those whom that same God
loves. Jean Paul Richter goes so far
as to say: Love one human being
purely and warmly and you will love
ALL If our love of another limits our
range and power of loving, there is
something wrong or lacking in that
love IS. S. Times.

Highwayman ShOckIey Declares He
Had No Intention of killing
Either of His Victims.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 11.-John
NJ. Schockley Sunday made full con-
fession of the murder of Motorman
Gleason and Conductor Brighton, who
were shot and killed by a lone high
wayman who attempted to rob them
in the car late Wednesday night. In
his confession Shockley declares he
had no intention of killing his victims,
but they put up such a vigorous fight
when he attempted to rob them that
he was forced to shoot them in self
defense. After the tragedy, he says,
he contemplated suicide, but his nerve
failed him when he put his pistol to
his head.
Shockley says he is heir to consid-
cradle property and he wants to sign
this over, without reserve, to aid the
families of his victims. He says his
parents live in Maries county, Mis-
souri,.

NEW HEAD OF ARMY
HERO OF FIVE WARS
Lieut.. Gen. Adna K. Chaffee is Now
Chief of Staff.
is ESSENTIALLY A SOLDIER
He Says ''BattIeG Will Always Be
and When They Are No More
the Nations of the Earth
= VIII DeteriOrate."


Washington, Jan. 1Y.-With the re-
tirement of Gen. Young, Gen. Adna r.
Chaffee becomes lieutenant-geAerala and
the head of the general staff of the
United States army. He has been NOM
mated by the president to the senate
for the rank of Acknowledgement.
Gen. Chaffee is the hero of five wars.
Gray and grizzled by more than 40
years in the service, and now in his
siXtieth year, Gen. Chaffee is a strong
type of the American soldier who rises
from the ranks by sheer force and
ability to command.
THE finest soldier in the United
States army" is the admiring estimate
of his brother officers place upon him.
Gen. Chaffee holds strong and clear
opinions. AN occasional fight is a
good thing for a nation" was his view
of what Sherman thought was hell"
1t strengthens the race; puts virility in
it; makes men, real men, the kind of
men you feel you can depend upon
when there's trouble in the air.
