PERSONALITY OF
 MR. RODGER

T. Anderson Rodger, whose work ID this city will be inaugurated next Sun day at the Presbyterian church, Is a young man possessing a pleasing per sonality as well as much power as a pablic speaker, which have already won many friends for him in the north. He was formerly business man of To- ronto, but the demand for his gifts as an eyaI gelist induced him to give up his business.
 For three years Mir. Rodger was evangelist for the Y. NJ. c. A. in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. For the past three years he has occupied a similar position in connection with the Presbyterian church, being under a special commission to visit the churches in the northwest.
 Concerning the success of Mir. Rodger iu this special work, the Home mission committee's report to the last general assembly of the church, has this to say:
 "Mr. Rodger has already made rep utation for himself
 The work has proved even more sue cessful than it was hoped it would be, and the wisdom of his appointment to the work is recognized by all who have seen the kind of work that has been dOne.n

TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT

Under the foregoing caption the Nome Nugget, the leading paper of the Seward peninsula, says:
 .IPresldent Roosevelt refuses to commit himself upon the subject of territorial form of government for Alas IA. By bis silence upon the matter it is reasonable to suppose that he does not look with favor on the proposition else why should he not speak outF
 "We see no reason why form oi selt.goyernment for Alaska should longer be delayed. We have outgroWn the necessity of being a dependency. In population, in resources, in every thing that goes toward the making ot a permsnen, commonwealth, we are in possession of. With the advent of tele- graphic and cable liues we are in close touch with the probable seat of gov srnment, which fact knocks the prop from under one of the strongest argu- meuts against selt-goyernment, name ly. the lack of proper communication facilities between given points
 What Alaska most desires is an au- thorired spokesman in the halls of con gress. A man of our own choosing, a resident of Alaska, familiar in all essen tials with our needs, and capable of giv- ing vigorous expression to our wants. '

Martin Criste Terribly Burned by Ex-
plosion-House Is Almost
Demolished
Demolished

In an explosion caused by leaky
gasoline stove at 619 CASTELAR, street
about o'clock last night, Martin
Criste, 80 years old. was terribly burned
the entire length of his body. His ag-
ony was intense, for even after he had
been removed to the receiving hospital
1T was nearly half an hour before the
doctors could attend him.
The explosion occurred while Criste,
who lives with M Radish at the Cas-
telar street house, was trying to light a
gasoline stove. The stove had been
leaking all day, and a considerable
amount of the fuel had dropped down
to pan underneath. AS soon as he lit
a match and applied it to the burner
there was a flash of flame and the
stove exploded.
The burning gasoline spread over
Criste's clothing, and before those who
heard his cries for help could reach
him he was terribly burned. The force
of the explosion was sufficient to blow
the entire side of the room off the
beams which supported it.
The house at 619 Castelar, street is
owned by A. c. Smith of the Palms
The loss is about $500, partly covered
by insurance,

A YEAR ON PEER
ACTRESS PROVIDES FOR HER
TITLED HUSBAND
Anna Robinson, Who Married the
Earl of RossIyn, Accumulated
Fortune in Brief Stage
Career

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, March 25.-The marriage of
the earl of Rosslyn and Anna. Robin
son is still the talk of the town.. Wher
the announcement was published it wa:
given out that the couple had left i'm
media tely for the continent, but as a
matter of fact they have been staying
all the time at Annals beautiful house
in Norfolk street, Park lane.
Although Anna Robinson played only
one short engagement in London, she
is credited with having accumulated a
large amount of money. She lives in
Norfolk street, at the rate of about
$25 900 year, has 100000 worth of dia-
monds, and, according to current gos
sip, settled $4,000 a year on the earl
by an ante-nuptial bond. The earl )
friends sincerely hope this is true, for
t. : marriage has absolutely cut him off
from all sources of money making by
his social position.
Their present plan is to take the
West End theater FOR the season, with
light comedy, and go thereafter for an
American tour.
The earls sisters, Duchess Sunder-
land Countess Warwick and Lady Al
gernon Lennox, are furious at this es-
capaGe, and refuse to have anything
further to do with their brother.

BARRYMORE DIES
IN SAN|TAR|UM
PASSES AWAY AFTER ILLNESS
OF SEVERAL YEARS
Had Been Failing In Mind as Well
as in Body, and Spent Latter
Part of His Life in
SecIusion
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 25.-Maurice
Barrymore. the actor, died today at a
sanitarium at Amityvile, L. 1.
Mr.. Barrymore had been failing in
health for several years. OF late he
failed rapidly in mind, as we'll as in
body, and his last years were spent IN
the closest secluson. Mr.. Barrymore
was born of English parents in India
fifty years ago. His real name, Her.
bert Blyeth, probably was known to
comparatively few of the thousands
that knew him as one of the most popu-
lar actors on the American stage
Educated at Cambridge university in
England, young Blyeth early prepared
himself for the civil service in India,
and later took up the profession of law.
He was admitted to the bar, but soon
forsook that profession for the dra-
matte stage.
His first public appearance in Amer
lea was in Boston in 1875 and since
that time he had leading part in
many of the great successes of the
stage He was at various times lead
ing man for Modjeska and Lily Lang
try and in many other prominent COM
panies. Mr.. Barrymore also was well
known as an author and playwright.
Among his plays was "Nadjeska," >"
which was written for Modjeska.
In 1876 Mr.. Barrymore married Geor-
gia Drew, daughter of Mrs. John
Drew, and sister of John Drew, the
well known actor. Ethel Barrymore
the actress, was the daughter and John
and Lionel Barrymore his sons. His
breakdown took place about four years
ago while playing at a theater in this
city, when he suddenly lost his lines
and began to talk incoherently. Later
he was removed to a sanitarium. AL
though he had been in poor health ever
since his breakdown his death was
unexpected.

DESPERATE Is KILLED
BY SAN JOSE OFFICER
spaniard Charged With Stealing Rifle
Killed by Constable After
Exciting Duel
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Ffess.
SAN JOSE, March ga desperate
duel between an unknown desperate,
armed with a repeating rifle. and Con-
stable Lucas Patrone of Madrone,
which occurred late this afternoon, re-
suited in the death of the hunted man
after he had fired six shots at the con-
stable and had drawn four shots from
the latter's shotgun. Two buckshots
penetrated the desperado's heart and
death was almost instantaneous.
Nothing is known of the dead man.
He was evidently a Spaniard about
so years of age, and was dressed in
jumper and overalls.
A warrant for his arrest was issued
on Wednesday by Justice Benson of
San Jose on charge of stealing the
rifle with which he attempted to kill
Patrone. Since that time nothing was
heard of him until this morning when
a telephone message put the sheriff on
his track.

NEW PLANS FOR
SANTO DOMINGO
AMERICA TO TAKE CHARGE OF
CUSTOM HOUSES
Foreign Creditors Pressing for Pay.
ment, and Our Government Anx-
ious to Forestall Possible
Trouble
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SANTO DOMINGO March 25.-Tele-
grams published in the United States
that diplomats here and fiscal repre-
which are creditors of San Domingo
have at conference agreed on a tenn
porary settlement of the fiscal question
involving this republic are premature.
Foreign creditors, principally Italy and
Belgium, are taking advantage of the
deferring of the proposed convention
between the United States and San
Domingo, and of the Venezuela situa-
tion, to demand payment of their
claims.
In order to meet the situation 1t has
been proposed by the Dominican gov
ernment that an American be des-
ignated as commissioner for the collec-
ton of all customs at southern ports,
As per cent of which collection shall be
set apart for the expenses of the gov
ernment, and that SO per cent, less ex-
penses of collection, be deposited in an
American bank until the Sanchez-Dil-
lingham convention is either ratified
or repealed. Should the convention
be ultimately rejected the money is to
be divided in just proportion to all
creditors, including the Santo Domingo
Improvement company of New York.
1t is also suggested that the Ameri-
can government take charge of the Gus
tom houses at Sanchez and Samana
under the arbitral award in the Santo
Domingo Improvement company case.
1t is understood the improvement
company claiming prior rights, de-
mands that So per cent of the moneys
collected at the northern ports be also
deposited in an American bank to
await the final disposition of the con-
vention. 1t is doubtful if such propo-
sition will be accepted.
Thus far nothing has been decided.
The government is desirous of some
agreement being reached, in order to
prevent differences with European
creditors, which might lead to inter-
vention and also precipitate internal
troubles The country is quiet, al
though the situation is unsettled.

SENTENCE OF DEATH PASSED
ON MANY OTHERS
OFFICERS RECEIVE WARNING
st. Petersburg Factories Are Closing
Down and Idle Employees Are
Reported as Being In an
Ugly Mood
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 26.-The
Industrial situation in st. Petersburg
enters on a. difficult stage, the owners
of many factories having decided, in
consequence of continued backing and
filling by their employees, to close down
their works entirely, locking out 3O,-
900 men. The idle workmen are in an
ugly frame of mind. The machinery in
one of the big cotton mills was wrecked
yesterday and disorder is In the air.
Trouble is expected and 1t is be-
lieved the wilder spirits are now not
without bombs and other means of de-
fense and reprsal.
Guard officers continue to receive
warnings that they will sign their
death warrants If they order the troops
tc fire, and a Social Democratic propa-
ganda of demonstration and disturb
ance is evident
The proprietors of the cotton mills and
wooden mills, which have been operat-
ing on the smallest possible margin Of
profit, are generally planning to pay
off and discharge their employees, try
ing. with the aid of the authorities, to
send them back to the villages. 1t Is
openly stated among the workmen that
the fighting wing of the Social revo-
lutionists has passed a sentence OF
death on thirty high personages, the
list being headed with the names Of
Grand Duke Alexis and ending with
that of the emperor, and bearing also
the name of the dowager empress.

SAYS HUNGARIAN COUNT
WILFULLY MISLED HER
Daughter of Cleveland Capitalist Gets
Divorce Because of Husbands
Being Without Means
BY Associated Press.

by Associated freSS.
CLEVELAND, March 25.-Judge Bea-
com of the common pleas court today
granted a divorce to Nine Tackacs de
Kis Joka on the ground of extreme
cruelty. The plaintiff, formerly Miss
Hart, is the daughter of wealthy
manufactures of this city. While traV-
cling in Europe with her parents she
met Count Tackacs de Kis Joka, a
Hungarian nobleman of Budapest and
the couple were married after a briel
courtship. q.
The young wife, according to her
statement, soon discovered that her
husband was heavily involved finan-
cially and without means. She de-
clared that the nobleman had wilfully
deceived her as to his standing social
ly and financially. Through misrep-
reservations, she said, she was induced
to sign notes for her husbands credit
ors aggregating a large sum. Later
she left her husband and came here.
The count followed and attempted a
reconciliation in which he was unsuc-
cessful. Nine. Tackacs de Kis Joka
filed a petition in voluntary bank
ruptcy and was declared a bankrupt
by the United States court. She then
applied for divorce, which was grant
ed today.

CASTRO SHOWS
MUCH HOSTILITY
ADOPTS DECIDEDLY MENAClNG
ATTITUDE
WARSHIP MAY BE SALUTARY
His Declining to Arbitrate American
Claims Accompanied by Refusal
to Talk Upon the
Subject

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, March 25.-An official dis
patch from Caracas, Venezuela, says
President Castro has returned and
manifested strong hostility against
American and French interests. His
attitude, 1t is added, is particularly
menacing against the French Cabs
company. 1t is premature to say what
steps France will take, as the infor-
nation has just been received, and the
officials have not had an opportunity
TO consider it. However, it is likely
that their action will depend upon
President Castro putting his menaces
into effect by overt acts against the
company, or the forfeiture of its con-
cessions.
No orders for warships to be held in
readiness have yet been issued, but
there seems to be a growing impress
sion in official quarters that the pres
ence of warship in Venezuelan waters
might exercise a salutary influence.
Inc ofhcial dispatch adds that Presi-
dent Castro's declination to arbtrste
the American demands was accompa-
MED by a refusal to hold any CONVEX
sation on the subject. The French Ca
BILE company has received advices prac-
tically to the same effect. These in
dicate that President Castros influence
will probably cause the court to render
final Judgment upon the cable COM
pany's concession early next week.
1t is the unofficial opinion that the
attitude of President Castro against
both American and French interests
makes the moment opportune for some
exchange of communications between
the two governments toward eventual
action action along similar lines.
