Reports Of anti-Jewish demonstra-

exceedingly nervous, but, with so en-

public, warning those who disturb the
peace that they will be dealt with Sc
verely.''

STATE MUST BUY
GIFT FOR SHIP
Popular subscriptions for Mime
sofa, to Be Launched in JAN
uary, 1906, Not Appropriate
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, April 4.-The battle
ship Minnesota will be ready to go
into commission in January, 1906,
which means that the legislature
which is to meet next winter must
make a. suitable appropriation for the
purchase Of a gift expressive Of the
states recognition Of the honor done
it. That appropriation must be at
least $1,000, and it can go as much
beyond that amount as the legislature
sees fit.
When the cruiser Minneapolis was
ready for service, the people Of the
metropolis Of the northwest gave it a
silver service. That was during the
administration as mayor of William
Henry Eustis. But the state will
have to make the gift for the Mime
sofa.
that Secretary Moody and the leading
men Of the navy department no longer
regard a silver service as a proper gift
On occasions Of this sort A short
time ago, when the cruiser Tacoma
was ready to go to sea, and the peo-
,, pie Of that thriving city were pre-
pared to make it's officers a gift, Mr..
Moody, by wire, advised them not to
select a silver service. He favored
instead a ships bell, bronze tablet,
| or, preferably, a punch bowl
The experience Of the departm
with silver services has not been Salts
factory. They are used very seldom
and take up valuable room in the
dining quarters. The only time a
service Of this sort Is ever brought
out is when some very distinguished
persons are entertained, which isn't
once a year.
A ships bell, on the other hand
would be constantly in use, and g. tab
! let would be read by everybody com.
! ing aboard. A punch bowl would fire.
Quently be called into use, and Mr.
Moody suggested that Tacoma pur.
chase one for the cruiser Of thai
name.
From what Is said above, the people
of Minnesota will understand tina
when they get ready, next year, tt
make the customary offering to thu
battleship named for the state, they
will probably hear from the secre
tary of the navy just what the people
Of Tacoma heard from him.
| 1t will not be appropriate, 1t Is sale
| here, for any of the money from Mime
sofa to be raised by popular subscrip
ton. The ship is named for the state
and the state, thru it's Legislature
must buy whatever gift the ship re
ceives. This Is said because Of tn
understanding here that a portion o
the money which paid for the silve
service of the Minneapolis was raise,
by popular subscriptions by individual
citizens.

Chicago, April 4.-Walter Wellman,
In New York special to the Record
Herald, says:
Andrew Carnegie probably will be
the largest individual subscriber to
the Roosevelt campaign fund. He is
ready to give a half million dollars,
or even a million, if that much Is
needed. to re-elect the present occu-
pant Of the White House.
Before he sailed for Europe a few
weeks ago, Mr.. Carnegie said to one
OF President ROOseVelt's intimate per-
sonal friends that he had no patience
with the crusade against Mr.. Roose-
welt which few rich men In New
York were carrying on.
He added that those men thought
they could beat the president with
money, but in his opinion they could
not do anything Of the sort.
He then made the statement that
he could be depended upon for any
sum Mr.. Roosevelt or his managers
wanted.
"If there is any trouble about rails
ing fund for all the proper purposes
of a campaign" said Mr.. Carnegie,
come to me- The president shall not
be beaten by conspiracy Of rich men
TO defeat him If 1 can help it,"
Believes in Roosevelt.
Mr.. Carnegie added that he believed
IN Mr.. Roosevelt as a man and as a,
president and approved for the most
part of all that he had done. He said
ne mad faith In the presidents charac-
ter ana patriotism and was especially
warm in his approval Of the Northern
Securities case, which, in Mr.. Car
negie's opinion, had saved the country
from the disaster of a great specula-
tive crash.
For some reason, which no one as
vet has been able to explain, the New
York financial people, as a rule, are
not enthusiastic over Judge Parker
candidacy for president.
One of the exceptions is August Bel
mont, head Of the so-called transport
tation trust in the metropolis Mr..
Belmont, who controls all the ele-
waited railways in Manhattan and the
new subway as well, is an earnest and
active supporter Of Parker, and has
Just returned from a trip to Wash
1ngton. where, 1t is understood, he
went to Interest democratic senators
and representatives in the Parker
movement.
Parixer's Personal Friend.
Mr.. Belmont's activity Is placed on
Che ground Of personal friendship for
the chief judge of the court Of ap-
peals. But, of course, in New York
where Interior motives are always sus-
pected, men are looking for other rea-
sons.
The New York newspaper which is
commonly supposed to be the organ
OF Mr.. Morgan and j. j. Hill is savage
and clever in its sarcastic allusions
to both Roosevelt and Parker. The
burden of its song appears to be that
Roosevelt has too much record and
Parker not enough. OF course, there
Is good deal Of speculation as to why
the Morgan coterie Is so violently Cd.
posed to Mr.. Hills candidate.
1t is interesting to note that Mr.
Roosevelt and Judge Parker, who arr
likely to be the rival candidates fol
the presidency this year, are warm
personal friends.

Doubt as to the significance of o..
H. Harrimans move to prevent the
Northern Securities company from
carrying out it's plan of distribution
OF Northern Pacific and Great North
ern stocks, is the cause of much gen
eral discussion and of a feverishness in
the stock market.
w. r. Clough, general counsel Of the
Northern Securities company, says
outright that Mr.. Harriman's move
ment is not of a friendly nature. He
ADDS that it cannot be disclosed what
the defense will be, but adds, lit will
be good one"
The New York Tribune, however,
says the suit Is regarded as a friendly
one and not understood as forcing
another fight for control Of the North
ern Pacific" The Tribune adds that
at recent conference in the office
OF j. P. Morgan there was a practical
agreement by the Hill-Morgan inter-
ests mat the court should decide the
plan Of distribution.
Other Well-informed persons believe
the move is made simply that Harri-
man may have the majority control
OF Northern Pacific as he had before
the formation of the Securities COM
pany. This he cannot retain in the
ratable distribution which, it is said,

two roads as it is now, vested in the
big holding company. In fact, they
believe this to be the beginning of a
big fight Of the Union Pacific for con-
troll.
Mr.. Bum, legal adviser of J. J.
Hill, says: Hartman objects to the
pro rata distribution Of the shares,
and asks the court to prevent it and
compel the Securities company to re-
turn Northern Pacific stock to the
holders who exchanged their shares
for Northern Securities Stock
Notice of Intervention.
Mr.. Hartman apparently intends to
button Of Northern Pacific and Great
Northern stock in the breakup Of the
Northern Securities company. He
thus may be able to retain control
of the Northern Pacific, as he also con-
trolls the Union Pacific and the South
ern Pacific. A petition was served

Washington, April 4.-The friends
of Postmaster General Payne declare
that the bitter attacks made on him
in congress recently are responsible
for his present critical condition. The
postmaster general is very i'll. He
may not recover.
His health has been undermined by
the strain of the postal Investigations
and the criticisms made in the news
papers and on the floor of the house
concerning the latest Bristow report
have caused him much worry.
He is described as being in state
OF collapse as result Of nervous
trouble, govt and his constitutional
complaint. His physicians have aban-
doned the southern trip. ~
It is doubtful if he will resume his
place at the head Of the postoffice
department even If he does recover.
He Is weary of the state Of affairs as
revealed by the recent inquiry and OF
the chickering's that follow each new
disclosure.
