THREATENS LIFE OF
FRENCH PRESIDENT
RumOr of Plot Against Loubet
Springs From Excited
Priests Words.

ROME, April 25.-The report that
there was plot against the life of
President Loubet and that an attempt
would be made to assassinate him is
without foundation. The report may
have originated in the fact that a
French priest went to the office of the
Italia, where, becoming excited, he
cried out that he had come to Rome to
kill President LOubet The editor of the
Italia sent for the police. but before
they arrived the priest had disappeared.
The police arrested several priests. but
in none of them could the staff of the
Italia recognize the excited clergyman.
All search for this priest has proved
unavailing. Nobody attached import
ance to the incident.
President Loubet went with a royal
cortege to the Pantheon today and laid
wreaths on the tombs Of King Victor
Emmanuel II. and King Humbert With
the same cortege President Loubet
then drove to the Palazzo Margherita
and paid a visit to the queen mother,
Margherita.
A gala dinner was given in honor of
President Loubet at the Quirinal this
evening. The president sat between
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena. The king and president spoke
on friendly relations between the two
countries.
Those surrounding the pope assert
that he has expressed his intention to
protest against the visit of President
Loubet to Rome on the ground that 1t
is the first occasion on which the head
Of Catholic country has visited the
Quirinal since the fall of the temporal
power of the popes.

arrangements between pastor and peo-
pie which follow a preachers advent
into partisan politics. He insisted that
it turned mems attention from saliva
tion and interfered with the spirit Of
preaching and the probability Of sue
cess.
DR.. Givler is one of St. PauFs most
prominent Methodist ministers, but
like nearly all ministers of his denomi-
nation, he mingles freely with the
common people and klnws more of ac-
tual conditions that obtain in his city
than half a hundred parsons who
preach to aristocratic congregations on
Sundays and live in state on week
days.
Rev. David Morgan, who while at
tempting to reply to the spirit of the
paper read by DR.. Givler, made a still
more pote-4t argument against the
reckless inveigling of certain St. Paul
clergymen against the present city ad-
ninistration, by disclosing conditions
that prevailed four years ago, before
the present city government was in
augurated. He had the good taste TO
not attempt description Of conditions
then existing, even before an audience
which was exclusively of men. Mr..
Morgan spends practically his entire
time among the sluns, and is in a bet
ter position to speak with a full
knowledge of the citys dark spots, both
now and for many years past, then any
other minister of the gospel in it,
When he declares that the conditions
four years ago were unspeakable, his
words will not be doubted by any con-

Two st. Paul ministers yesterday
discussed the crusade from the pulpit
against the present city administra-
ton, and while one opposed it on ethi-
cal grounds, the other supported it in
the abstract, but only because a similar
crusade four years ago had resulted in
the overthrow of an administration as

istration is as pure as snow.

The discussion arose at a meeting
yesterday afternoon at the German
Methodist church, Van Slyke court and
Olive street.; and there was a diver
sity of opinion between the members
of the Evangelical union as to the po-
sition the minister should assume in

IF Rev. MIR. Givler could have seen
the condition Of the city's morals
four years ago, and understood that
the pastors OF the city, by arousing
the people from their puIpits, had

he would see the matter in an en-

making political capital was manifest.
1t was claimed by the committee that
three of the six men registered from
each of the houses. The building, which
is the property of w. H. Griffin. is un-
dergoing repairs. The Republican de-
tective would make the public believe
that the Democrats were so short
sighted that they registered voters
from vacant building when it is pos
sible for passerby to see that there
are no occupants. At No. $50 is a room

necessary 10 choose a location near the
home of the-chief of police, even though

Conspiracy Apparent.
The fact that common names were
chosen, that the location was fixed at a
point where it would best answer cam
paign purposes, and that not one of the
men are known or are remembered by
people who have lived all their lives in
the precinct, goes to prove that the Re
publican campaign committee had
guilty knowledge of the cheap con-
spiracy by which it is expected to hood
wink the voters of St. Paul.

the cotton region fertilizer is being used
with lavish hand Potash and phosphates
are being spread broadcast on lands that
never knew such treatment before.
The labor problem will be overcome. The
high price of cotton will stimulate white
planters to do more work themselves and to
pay better wages to their "hands." The negro
farmer will work harder when he knows his
cotton Is gold. A great drain on the rural
population has been made by the demand
for labor in the mill and factory towns of
the south and in railroad construction.
This demand is not so urgent as it was two
years ago and people are drifting back to
the farms. Then, the immigration bureaus
OF southern states have been doing fruitful
work in the north. northwest and In Eu-
rope All OF which helps some.
A great deal will depend on price. There
is not apt to be ffteen-cent cotton this sea-
son. AS a matter of fact few cotton plant
ers received any such fancy price for their
fiber last season. Most Of the cotton was
sold around ten cents and the higher quota
lions were simply marked UP against the
spnners by the speculative holders. But a
good crop at nine or ten cents is a bonanza
to the United States.

Gold Output and Prices.

The theory that an Increase in the sum
OF basic money means higher prices for the
goods that a dollar measures has received
a shock the last year. Wien prosperity set

dent Mckinley and kept on swelling till it
reached what seemed to be high tide in the
winter OF 1923. it was explained, by
the silver men as due to the output of
Alaska gold. the increased production of
the Rand mines. and so forth. They said
their theory of money had been indicated.
For a year prices have been declining and
trade contracting and yet the production of
gold grows faster and faster New gold
fields have been opened up in Alaska and
the Northwest Territory and the older fields
are being more thoroughly worked. The
South African mines have resumed opera
ton and the yield already approximates
what II was before the Anglo-Boer war
With the introduction of coolie labor and
the constant refinement of mining processes
the present yield of the African gold dis
tricts will soon be doubled. In Australia
auriferous deposits are being found and the
older prospects and mines are being devel-
oped In the western United States mines
are being found faster than they are ex-
hausted and the more effective mining ma
chinery and milling and concentration
plants are making profitable mines that a
few years ago it did not pay to work.
The worlds production of gold in 1903
was S32I 100000 and 1t is not rash guess
that the production OF new gold in 1904
will be $500, 900 600 or practically double

Ind Yet, business is slackening. The very
eheapness of money Is one of the strong
cvideices of this. Last year the steel trade

him to bolt. The sooner he gets out the
better. Our duty is plain. We should write

and If it turns out that success is impos-
sible this year we can try again, with bet
ter hopes, in 1908"
Would a bolt this year end Mr.. Bryan?
A bolt in 1896 did not end Mr.. Cleveland.

He gave his sympathies as freely to Mr..
