ONLY BY APPOINTMENT.
Gov. Odell and William Barnes to Paw
Visit TODAY

A dispatch from Oyster Bay, N Y, last
night says: Several persons came here to-
day expecting to see the President, but
were stopped by secret service men on the
hill, because they had no appointment
This happens every day. No one who has
not previously made an official appoint
ment through the secretary gets beyond
the big gate that opens the way to the
Presidents grounds.
President Roosevelt expects to have busy
times for the next two days at least. To-
morrow Gov. Odell and William Barnes Of
Albany, chairman of the state republican
executive committee, will be here to talk
over the republican program in the
state, and on Saturday Senator Fairbanks
is expected to discuss the national cam
paign. He will probably remain at Saga
more Hill until Monday. The governor and
Mr. Barnes are expected on the noon train.
The President Is to select the nominee
for governor on the republican ticket. 1t
is believed that he favors former Gov.
Frank 8. Black, whom he chose to make
the speech of the Chicago convention nomi-
mating him for the presidency.
The matter will be settled definitely when
Gov. Odell, as Chairman Odell, calls upon
the President.
Senator Piatt favors former Lieut.. Gov.
Timothy L. Woodruff. Gov. Odell Is dis
posed to let the President select the man
he prefers. 80 that there may be no subse-
Quent criticism when the votes are counted

CRANKS WRITE LETTERS.
Judge Parker's Mail Already Burdened
by Erratic Missives.

A dispatch from Esopus N. Y, last night
says: Judge Parker received letter to-
day from the west in which he is Informed
that there Is a plot against his life. The
writer, who processes to be in the con-
fidence of some mysterious band cautions
the jurist to remain at home and protect
himself against bodily injury. He writes
that certain persons in the west are
planning to take advantage of the first OPP
portunity to make an assault upon the
Judge, and adds that in subsequent letters
he will keep Mr.. Parker informed on the
movements of the alleged conspirators.
There is a vague hint that the plotters
are going to carry their threats into execu-
ton when Judge Parker is in a railroad
train or a carriage and when he would
most likely be without protection against
a sudden attack In consequence the writ
er warns Judge Parker to remain home,
but if he should find it necessary to make
a trip to surround himself with a body
guard.
The signature of the letter cannot be de-
ciphered and 1t is believed that the writer
purposely made the Scrawl to prevent h s
identity from becoming known. The letter
Is so vague and disconnected that Judge
Parker is satisfied that the writer's mind
is disordered. After CHANGING at its con-
tents the judge threw the pages into
waste basket.
Other letters and postal cards are COM
ing In the daily mails to Judge Parker
from persons about whose mental obliquity
there can be no doubt. One who is frank
enough to sign his postal card "A Luna
TIC" put on it NO l. Above a semi-cir-
Gle was written the motto, Safe and Sane
Democracy"
"A Lunat ic' then went into a general
denunciation of democracy, and part.cu
larly that brand known as safe and sane"
The argument that there is such
kind of democracy and never could be.
Other missives from undoubted "cranks"
are Sandwiched in the bundles of mail,
which consist chiefly of letters of con-
gratulat ton.
There has been nothing received far
to cause Judge Parker the slightest worry,
and he has not thrown out picket line
around Rosemount, and does not contem-
plate so doing. He congratuates himself.
on the fact that the letters are mailed at
far distant points and that the CRANK
authors are not living near al hand.

Labor Situation Critical.

A dispatch from Pittsburg last night says:
Inc lapor situation in Pittsburg is growing
cfitical. The workmen of Ohio are suffering
with the workmen of Pittsburg. 1t is an
nounced tonight that the workmen of four
more union mills were locked out today
Ihey are at Girard and Warren, and two
at Youngstown, employing, all told. 2oo0
men.
The move today is a practical admission
OF failure of the first attempt on the part
of the employers to force the reduction de-
manded. On last Tuesday they asked the
union Workmen to return to the revised
rate, but this was refused without the con-
sent of the conference committee.
The reduction which the trust has at
tempted to force on the men is from IS to
90 per cent.

Congratulations.

Mr.. John n. Cullom, editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written n
letter of congratulations to the man
ufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough
RemedAY as follows: sixteen years
ago when our first child was baby
he was subject to croupy spells and we
would be very uneasy about him. We
began using Chamberlain's CooRh
Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a
reliable remedg for colds aud Group,
we have never been without it in the
house since that time. We have FIVE
children and have given it to all of
them with good results. One good
feature of this remedy is that IL Is not
disagreeable to take and our babies
really like It. Another is that it isnot
dangerous, and there is no risk from
giving an overdose. congratulate
you upon the success of your remedy.

The adoption of the plan of holding the

district conventions TO send delegates to that
convention, at the same place and on the
same sam day, was prompted by the daet thsl ,tia

the selection of one delegate at large TO each
congressional district can no longer be ad-
hered to; the further facts that delegates to

quired to have their credentials from the

wise to adhere so far as practicable to the old
plan OF selecting delegates by congressional
districts, instead of choosing the entire dele
CATION by the State convention.
II Is suggested that the said State conven-
ton shall not adjourn until the district con-
ventions shall have chosen the district dele
gates; that each district convention shall
and alteFnates so selected by each, and that
said State convention formally ratify the

Towering Shaft of Coal

A monument of coal, towering
one hundred and nine feet above
the ground, will be erected at st
Louis to advertise to the world
one of the natural resources of
West Virginia, The black dia-
mend shaft will represent the
twenty-five workable veins of coal
found in the mountains, spd each
vein will be the exact thickness of
the original vein from which the
coal was taken, and each vein will
be placed in it's relative order.
1t will be the largest, most
unique exhibit of coal ever made.
The shaft will be twelve feet
square At night it will be bril-
liantly illuminated SO that it can be
seen for distance of twelve miles
Some idea of its cost is gathered
from the statement that this shaft
together with She lumber exhibit,
viii cost ninety thousand dollars.
The state appropriated fifty thous-
and the rest is paid by individuals
mostly GOAL men.
The entire West Virginia ex-
hibit is practically ready for erec-
ton.

MAsToDoN FOUND IN ALASKA
The Body was Perfect, with Only
the Flesh Slightly Decomposed.

Dawson. Alaska, March THE
complete form of mastodon has
been discovered at Hillside, on
Quartz creek. 1t was imbedded
thirty eight feet in the earth when
found, and the use of steam thaw-
ing plant was necessary to unearth
the immense body. The hair and
the skin of the beast are in perfect
preservation although the flesh is
somewhat decomposed, and the
big tusks, which remain fastened
in the skull, are in good condition.
1t is estimated that the skeleton
is worth about $4,000, as there are
only one or two of them in exist
enoe in as good a condition. The
mHstodon was discovered buried in
an old channel we'll within the
zone of almost perpetual trosts,
which accounts for its excellent
preservation.

II Russia and Japan refuse to
accept the American contention as
to what is contraband of war, what
will we do about it? During the
Boer war, the British government
agreed with the United States that
foodstuffs were not subject to seiz-
ure as contraband unless it could
be shown that the goods were con.
signed TO or clearly intended for q
belligerent. 1t was then settled
also that it was not enough to
show that the shipment was capa-
BILE of being used, by combatant
or might be so used, but that it
must have been intended for such
use. This definition is only bin d.
ing upon the British and Ameri-
can governments. Suppose neith-
er Russia no Japan will agree to
it and seize the vast quantities of
American goods now on the way to
the Orient, what shall we do to
help ourselves? 1t is said that the
Washington officials are greatly
concerned as to the outcome.
