THE CROFT FASTENER
Testimony in the Nachen Case
 Reaching Back Ten Years.

Washington. Jan. 1S.-In the trial of August w. Machen, the Graf Bros. and Dr. and Mrs. Lcrenz, charged with conspiracy to defraud the govern ment, the prosecution introduced number of witnesses to prove the re- lations of Machen with the LorenZes and the Groff brothers. One of these, Ina Liebhardt, Machen's former ste -nographer and chief clerk, testified to visits of Dr. and Mrs. Lorenz to Mach en at his office, but declared on cross examination that during the several conversations he was present and heard nothing about the letterbox fastenings.
 James F. Bell, superintendent of de- livery of the Washington city postof- flee testified that the Croft fasteners had been adopted without any report having been submitted to him, all though it would have been his duty to make such report as the fastener was tried first in this city John F. Clark a letter carrier, described the failure of the fastener to work at the test made in 1894 in this city. at which Machen and Samuel A. Groff were present, which he said, caused Machen to re- remark to Croft at that time the fast ener would not work without sticking, and he would not recommend its adop- ton.

THEY WANT CONNECTION
Nississippians Desirous of Forming
 Junction With Panama Canal

Washington, Jan. 1S.-A six foot channel in the Mississippi river at low water from St. Paul and Minneapolis to Cairo, a distance of a thousand miles to be completed by the time the Panama canal is put into operation, is the project advocated before the house committee on rivers and reser- voirs today by a delegation consisting of Governor I. R. VanSant, of Minne- sOta, Ellis B. Usher, of Lacrosse, Wis. Capt. Alonzo Bryson of Davenport, la; Frank Galenne, of St. Louis and Lewis B. Boswell, of Quincy, III.

Apparently Little Between
 Russia and Japan
NOW ONLY TWO ISSUES
They Are Seemingly Easy of Solution But After All Are of Such Charac- ter That Whatever Is Yielded Will Have to Be Yielded by Japan.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 1S.-The Associ- ated Press corr IesDondent on high au- tholity is able to give the following as the rresent status of the negotiations bctW cen Ru. sia and Japan: Russia recognizes Japan's right in Corea and Japan recognizes Russia's special posi- ton in Manchuria. There are two main questions still at issue. The Russian demand for a neutral zone on the Cor can side of the Yaki river, which Japan met with a proposal for similar neutral ship on the Manchurian side. Japan also asks for certain guarantees cover inp Manchuria, which Russia has de- clined thus far 10 grant. It is reported, However, that the assurances given four days ago by Russia regarding ports in Manchuria and respect for treaty rights is a concession on this point.
 That the two countries are not so far a-art may be fairly inferred from the following statement made by MT. Ku- rinO, the Japanese minister, to the Asso- ciated Press correspondent: War would only be disaster to both coun- tries Ownig to the geographical sit nation an armed conflict would result in Q great drain of men and treasure. of both Japan and Russia, without be ing decisive. Besides, I believe it would rot be worth while to go to war on the questions still in dispute

NOT ENOUGH COLOR
u. $. Supreme Court Re-
 verses Texas Case
No Legislature and No Court Can Ex- clude Negroes From Taking Part in Grand Jury Deliberations.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The United States supreme court again today re- affirmed the ruling made in the case of Carter vs. The State of Texas, to the effect that the exclusion of negroes from grand juries in cases involving criminal charges against members of their race is in violation of the con stitution and that it is not permiss- able.
 The decision was delivered by Jus tice Holmes in the case of Rogers who was indicted for murder by a grand jury composed entirely of white men and from which it is charged. that all negroes were excluded because of their color.
 The supreme court of the state up held the regularity of the proceedings. but Rogers brought it to the federal court on a writ of error, with the re- suit that the decision of the state court was reversed and the case re- manded to the state courts for further proceedings not inconsistent with to- days opinion.
 The opinion was based on the Carter case. in which it was held that the exclusion of all persons of the African race from a grand jury which finds an indictment against a negro in a state court, and were excluded solely be- cause of race or colcr, denies him the protection of law, in violation of the fourteenth amendment of the constitu- tion of the United States, where such exclusion is through the action of the legislature, through the courts or through the executive or administra- tive officers of the state.'

WORRY.
A Sure Starter for III Health.

Useless worrying Ca form of nervous ness) is indirectly the result (through the nerves) of improper feeding. A furniture man of Memphis says:
 About year ago I was afflicted with nervous spells, would worry so over trivial things.
 CT went to consult one of the best physicians in Memphis and he asked among many questions if I drank cof- fee.
 His advice was: Go to some provis- ion store and get a box of Postum. are confined to your desk to a great ex- tent try and get out in the open air as much as possible I followed his in- structions regarding the the Postum.
 'At that time my weight was 142 and I was taking all kinds of drugs and medicines to brace me up but all failed ; today I weigh 165 and all of my old troubles are gone. and all the credit is due to having followed this wise phy- sician's advice and cut off the coffee and using Postum in its place.
 ''I now consider my health perfect. am wiling to go before notary public and testify that it is all due to my hay ing used Postum in the place of cof- fee" Name given by Postum Co, Bat tie Creek, Mich.
 There's a reason for quitting the drug-drink coffee, and there's a reason for drinking Postum. Trial 10 days proves them all

ANTITRUST ANTI-TOXIkE
An Arizona Corporation Enters List
 Against the Chicago Monopoly.

Springfield, Ills, Jan. 1S.-The Inter- national Serum Anti-TOxine company. of Phoenix, Ariz., was today licensed by the secretary of state to incorpor- ate in Illinois. The capital stock is S1,000,000, of which S1O,OOO is in Illinois.
 The foregoing Associated Press dis. patch resulted in inquiries last night or the Associated Press correspondent at this office and of the special core spondents of papers east and west
 The most diligent inquiry failed to disclose that anybody in Phoenix was interested in the production of serum.
 Some time ago there were arti- cles of incorporation of a com pany with that object in view filed here, but the incorporat- DTS were foreign" Since then the; was the disclosure by the Chicago board of health of the existence of an anti-tox- inc trust and a suggestion that labora- tories of states engage in the produc- ton of the serum. Following this sug- gestion the Arizona incorporation has probably filed its certificate in Illinois so that it may be nearer to the citadel of the death trust.

THE DOLLAR DINNER
Banquet Given MT. Bryan
 at Lincoln
The Late Candidate Let's it Be Known That He Will Have Something to Do in the Next Convention.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 1S.-A formal well from Europe, in the form of a dollar dinner" was held tonight and was at tended by nearly 700 democrats, made up principally of men in full sympathy and accord with MT. Bryan's political policies.
 It was intended as a testimonial of regard and sympathy with MT. Bryan's political ideas, from members of his party in the city and state, and to mark his entry into active participa- tion in the pre-conventiOn campaign. Mir. Bryan held a special reception be- fore the banquet and was given a most enthusiastic greeting. His speech which was extended was given close attention and heartily applauded.
 Mir Bryan speaking to the toast, "The Moral Issue,'' said in part: I'm stead of talking of concessions and compromises, it is time to be honest and aggressive.
 "The Kansas City platform is sound in every plank, and the first act of the next convention should be to reaffirm it in it's entirety and it's next act should be the addition of new blanks fin harmony with it and covering such new questions as demand considera- tion.
 ''The convention should elect candi- dates who believe in the platform, candidates whose democracy will not be an issue in the campaign and whose fidelity to democratic principles will not be doubted at the election. The committee should announce that it will neither ask nor receive contributions from those who a entrenched behind the bulwarks which we are attacking. And then let us defend our position not upon the lew ground of dollars and cents, but by showing how republican politics violate moral principles and invite the punishment that sooner or later overtakes the wrong -doer.
 Such a course will insure victory but that party which deserves victory and can appeal to the conscience of the American people is sure to win ulti- mately and offers their promise of inn mediate success"

Canada, Montana and Washington is mentioned and the report says the or ganization mas increased in member ship from 91,00o in 1899 to 2S7 ,545 in 1903, which does not include members idle or on strike.
 "If" says Mir Mitchell, "every local union would report in its full member ship, there would not be less than 34O,- 900 members"
 The report recommends that the con- stitutiOn committee investigate the ad- visibility of discontinuing the present method of collecting dues and adopting the stamp system.
 Of the Colorado strike Mir. Mitchell says: ''The strike in district 15 has been and is a source of heavy expense to our organization, but our people are standing firm and much as we desire amicable settlement, the uncompromis- ing attitude of the companies gives us no choice but to continue the contest until fair terms of settlement are req ch- ed or our people go down in defeat''
 President Mitchell voices his earnest support of legislation prohibiting boys under sixteen from being allowed to work in the mines and asks the con- vention to endorse it.
 Tn closing, congratulatory reference is made to the cordial business rela- tionship that has existed between the organization and the operators in all districts in which wages and condi- tions are regulated and determined by mutual agreement.

Further Investigation of Disaster of the CIaIIam
PUMPS WERE REVERSED
It Was also Brought Out That the Vessel Besides Being Loaded
 With Passengers Doomed to Death, Was Weighted With Incompetence.

Seattle, Jan. 1S.-Testimony was giv- en at today's session of the board in spectors investia gting the wreck of the steamer Clallam tending to show that the little steamer began to leak about an hour after leaving Port Townsend. But whether this was due to an actual leak or to a reversal of ships pumps. which filled the vessel with water. in- stead of pumping 1t out, is a question the spectators are trying to solve.
 It is believed by many that the lat ter is the cause.
 Chief Engineer De Launay admitted to the inspectors that the Clallam started to leak about one hour out of Port Townsend. He admitted that if was nearly two hours after she start ed to leak before he notified Captaii Roberts. De Launay was unable to give the capacity of the pumps in the Clallam. It was figured out that the vessels pumps had a capacity of about 460 tons per hour
 It was shown by the chief engineer that the vessel took more water before Captain Roberts was notified than she did ten hours afterwards.
 The inspectors are making an effort to show that in some way the pumDs were reversed and instead Of pumping out water from the engine room. more was being taken in through the sea cocks. The belief now seems to be that the Clallam did not spring a leak.
 EVldene points that way, as the null was the last part Of the vessel to disappear from sight. All Of the water came in aft, where the sea-cocks on a vessel are located
 It was also brought out this after noon that the dead light which crashed out, was broken once before. It was repaired at Port Townsend before the vessel started for Victoria.

THE BURDEN ON JAPAN.

St. Petersburg. Jan. 1S.-The czar' s assurance given in Jan. 14 that he in- tends to do all his power maintain peace in the far east is regarded by foreign diplomats as a hostage given tc the world for the preservation of peace. While it is a guaranty that Russia will recognize open ports and other concessions in Manchuria, it will, 1t is thought, place the Onus of a rup- ture upon Japan. Most newspapers here join in the peaceful chorus.
