 GROWING SERIOUS
MILK SUPPLY IN LOUISVILLE IS DECREASING, AND MANY DlS- TILLERlEs HAVE BEEN CLOSED FOR LACK OF WATER.

Louisville, Ky, November 2S.-The re- ginning to decrease the milk supply in Louisville. Several dairies have put their customers on half allowance, and con- fectioners are unable to secure enough of the fluid in making certain kinds or candy. A number of distillers have sus- pended operations until rain falls. In number of small places the citizens are buying water and farmers are compelled in many instances to drive stock several miles to water.
 For more than a month the Southern railway has been hauling water to it's Shelbyville tanks, and for the past three weeks 1t has been hauling ten car loads of water day. Freight engines run ming between Lawrenceburg and Lexing- ton and Lawrenceburg and Burgin arc carrying double water tanks.
 All the freight engines on the chesa- peake and Ohio railroad have been carry ing two tanks for several weeks.
 The Cincinnati Southern railroad re- ports that it has closed all its watering stations between Lexington and Somerset. a distance of eighty miles, and the Somer- set reservoir is now running low. Other roads report practically the same condi- tions.
 There has been no rain since July }. In many churches yesterday prayers, were offered for rain and today the weather bureau announces possibility of show CTS within the next forty-eight hours.

Claimed to be Sheriff of
 EtOWah County
SOLD COPPER WIRE CHEAP
When He Was Arrested In oadsden He Had Checks and Money Orders Ranging In Value From
 $50 to $2oo Each.

Gadsden, November 2s.-(Special)-A man giving his name as David A. Hall was arressed at the postoffice today by Chief White and Captain Thornton as he was getting his mail from rented box.
 He had in his possession letters address ed to him as sheriff of Etowah county, Ala, many of them containing money orders and checks on banks for sums ranging from $50 to $200 each.
 His game was a unique swindling scheme. He represented himself as sheriff and wrote to various parties claiming to have a large lot of copper wire, which he had levied cn and was offering to sell at a low price. providing oae-half was sent on receipt of bill lading of wire. He is said to have stolen railroad bills of lad ing. forged names and sent them to his victims and they promptly sent the cash. Hall figured on getting this money and leaving before his victims learned of the deception. Telegrams addressed to him as sheriff put the police on to him. He plead ed guilty this afternoon before United States Commissioner Pickard and in de- fault of $10O bond was placed in jail. He claims Atlanta as his home. Letters re- ceived by h.m Sunday as he was arrested called for several thousand dollars.

PAPERS CONDEMN
 VARDAMAN'S WORDS
NUMEROUS TELEGRAMs ARE SENT TO PRESIDENT FRANCIS EXPRESSING HEARTY DISAP- PRovAL OF LANGUAGE USED.

Jackson. Miss November Ex-Governor yardaman this morning received a tele- gram from President Francis of the worlds fair, stating that President Roose- welt visited and greatly admired the MIS- sissippi building while at the fair Satur- day.
 The governor wired back reply con- taining the following: Tt is of course gratifying to the people of Mississippi to know that they have done one thing that the present President of the United States approves. Doubtless the Presidents ad- miration of the Mississippi building IS due to his admiration of Jefferson Davis, of whose fast home it is a replica"
 Roth the daily papers of Jackson, which are democratic, condemn the telegram or Governor Vardaman. The News says:
 The people of Mississippi expect more of their governor than display or small and petty hatred. They expect him to be a broad-minded man, who in every re- lation of life will meet courtesy by cour- tesy."
 The Clarion-Ledger says:
 "Governor Vardaman has made the mis- take of mixing politics, sectional feeling and personal dislikes with state, national and business affairs, when he makes sarcastic reply that will be quoted from Maine to California, from New Orleans to Kalamazoo to the injury and dis credit of the great state of Mississippi"
 Tonight large number of telegrams from prominent citizens of Jackson were sent to President Francis of the Worlds Fair expressing their hearty disapproval of the language. and the spirit of the Vardaman telegram, and thanking Presi- dent Roosevelt for his kind expressions.

FIGHTING LASTED
 FOR THREE DAYS
JAPANESE HAVE BEEN REFUSED FROM GEN. RENNENKAMPFF' POSITION, BUT FIGHTING HAS NOT ENDED.

With the Russian Forces at Shenking, November %.-The attack by the Jana nese upon General Rennenkampff's posi- tion on November 24. resulted in three days fighting at Tsinkhetchen, near Da Pass. Though the Japanese have been re- pulsed the fighting still continues.

Has Never Shown FaVOritsn in.
 His Decisions
TOOK TRIPS IN PRIVATE GAR
Admits That He Used Car Which Was In the Hands of the Receiver at the
 Time.

Washington. November 2S.-In the Swayne case today Judge SwaYne himself submitted statement giving a history of his career, particularly of that DOT ton when he was judge. He said that the prosecution of the election frauds of 1888 created bitter feeling against him. The Florida district was divided by political act of a lemoeratie congress. signed by a democratie President. He then went into an extended argument to show that he was a resident of the northern dis triet of Fiprida. Judge Swayne also went over the contempt case in his court and denfended his course, the facts of which were nearly all set forth in tho minority report of Judge Swayne and in previous testimony taken.
 Referring to the case of D. T. Davis and Simeon Belgen, he said that nothing was shown that would indicate malice on his part Judge Swayne defended his course in the Hoskins case Nothing, he said, was ever made by HoslSins in his court for settlement. He said he saw no grounds for suspicion that a eonspir- acy existed to break up HoslSins' busi- ness. He believed, and the testimony
 
 Hoskins were taken on the advice and with the aid of the alleged bankrupt Hos kns. He denied he had in any way prejudiced the case of young Eoskins, for whom a contempt warrant had been is- sued.
 Judge Swayne justified his action in sentencing w. c. ONeal to sixty days in jail for contempt. He declared that he had never favored B. C. Tunison or been partial to him. He then referred to at tempts to defame him by Florida papers He denounced a number of attempts made for such purpose. He made trip from Delaware to Florida In q private car: he made one trip in the same car to the Pacific and paid for the provisions himself. He asserted that during his term as judge he never allowed anything to infiuenca his acts outside of law and facts. In answer to MT. Palmer, Judge Swayne justified his use of the private car which was in the hands of a receiver.
 The committee decided to close the tes- timony and adjourned.

RADICALS ARE AFTER
 MORE INFORMATION
WANT TO KNOW WHETHER PRUs- SlA INTENDS TO REVISE THE PRuSSO-RUSSlAN AGREEMENT ON SMUGGLING LITERATURE.

Berlin. November 2s.-The radical peo- ples party introduced an interpolation ln the Prussian diet today regarding the so-called anarchist trial at Koenlgsburg, asking whether the Russian consul gen. erals statement concerning the contents of the documents seized caused the pro- ceedlngs to be instituted; whether 1t was known to the government that transla- tions were furnished to the Prussian au- thorlties by the Russian authorities, and if the Russian law code failed to include the essential paragraphs of the docu- ments. The interpolation further asked whether the government intends to in- augurate reforms respecting the expulsion and extraditing of foreigners and also whether 1t intends to make a revision of the Prusso- Russian agreement of January 23, 1885.
 In July last nine German subjects, dem- ocrats, were placed on trial at koenigs. berg on charges of treason against the Russian realm, conspiracies against the emperor of Russia, and conspiracy to smuggle across the frontier and circulate in Russia literature forbidden in that country. The prosecution was undertaken at the instance of the Russian ambassador to Germany. Eventually all the men ac- eused of treason were acquitted, and three of the defendants were also acquitted or the charge of conspiracy. The other six were convicted of conspiracy and were sentenced to short terms of imprison- ment

standpatters Are Dissatisfied.

Naturally howl is going up from the extreme stand-patters, led by the Ameri. can Protective Tariff leagues American Economist" over the growing sentiment for revision of the tariff. The Econo- mist declares that for the republican party ito stand pat is the way to keep out of trouble,' and asks, 'has the re- publican party arrived at a point where it is prepared to say prices are too high, the tariff must be reduced, prices of com modities must be cut down, prices of labor must also be decreased?"
 MT. Wilbur F. Wakeman himself is ex- pected in Washington this week or early next month to talk over with the Presi- dent the great mistake the party will make if 1t harms a single hair of the Dingley measure. That the stand-patters are thoroughly alarmed over the propo- sitions to reduce and that they will bit terly oppose it need not be doubted for a minute. They are also a very powerful faction and furnished big part of the contributions in the republican campaign fund.

Rivers and Hafb0rs Committee
 Holds First Meeting
STAND FATHERS WORKED UP
Win Fight Vigorously Any Efforts to Revise the Tariff-Gosslp About Reduced Southern Rep
 resentation.

Washington, November 8.-(Special.)- The first meeting of the house rivers and harbors committee was held this morning and was well attended. There Is no doubt that the bill will be reported early in the session, not later than the middle of January. MT. Burton, the chairman, said all hearing had been-given and there was nothing to prevent an early report. There was considerable divergence of opinion oyer the amount to be carried by the bill. The chairman himself did not care to express an opinion on this sub ject but from talks with members of the committee estimates ranged from fifty to one hundred millions. Represen- tative Burgess of Texas thinks the bill may reach the latter figure. The policy Of the committee usually is to report bill amounting to about sixty million dol lars. but there are rumors this year that the senate IS preparing to make regular
 killing" aLd add something like twenty million dollars to the bill for the purpose of trading in conference. Representative Bankhead of Alabama was one of the early arrivals at the committee meeting and is confident of getting the Warrior and other Alabama rivers well taken care of in the bill.
 The disposition of the committed" said Representative Bankhead of Ala bama this morning, lis for liberal rivers and harbors bill, but it must be remem- bered that the treasury department is not overfowing with money, and we may hh hald Ha1rrf tf To. f., the word may be given to the senate leaders to kill the measure in case 1t reaches too great a figure. The navy and army bills are both to be very heavy at this session, especially the former meas ure. l presume the republicans will want to eeonomize somewhere, though l am in hopes that it will not be on rivers and harbors bill The improvement of our waterways, it seems to me, would re- suit in far greater benefit to the people than the tremendous increase in the navy contemplated.
