WROUGHT UP BY THE SCANDAL.
President waiting for Reports Of Attorney.
General Moody ami Cotton Association.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 1O.-President
Roosevelt. it Is understood here, is much
wrought up by the cotton report leak,
and it is probable that criminal prosecu
ton may result from the Investigation by
the Secret Service, not unlike the ruthless
and Wholesale prosecutions in the post
Office department. Thus far the matter
has not been laid before the President
formally, but it is known that 80 far back
as last Tuesday; when the President was
on his way to Secretary Hays funeral
he and Secretary Wilson had long talk
on conditions in tho Department of Agri-
culture, with particular reference 20 the
cotton scandal.
United States District Attorney Beach
of the District of Columbia, after more
or less superficial examination Of the case,
thought that he did not have sufficient
evidence for criminal proceedings against
Holmes, the assistant atatisticlan who is
alleged to have given out advance informa-
ton to certain cotton brokers'. But the
Department Of Justice will not let the matter
rest at that, and Attorney-General Moody
now has it under consideration.
President will have before him the report
of Mr.. Moody and that of the Southern
Cotton Association. The latter report the
President must have before he can take
any action as to the retiring or dismissal
Of John Hyde, the chief statstician. Richard
Cheatham, secretary, and Harvie Jordan,
president of the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton, are now comforting with view to
drawing up report.

BAD RUM IN Pennsylvania.
Dr, Warren Asks Clersymen to Preach
Abstinence.

PHILADELPHIA. July Decentralization
over liquors having been taken away from
the Dairy and Food Department by deci
sion of the Supreme Court OF Pennsyl-
vana. DR.. B. H. Warren, the Commissioner
of the department, to-day began to send
copies of an appeal to more than 5000
clergymen throughout the State, asking
them to lure their congre cations to alb
stain from all alcoholic liquors, at least tenn
porurily, as a guard to their health.
Dr. Warren points out that certain I'M
scrupulous dealers, confident that they are
removed from the power and scope Of the
dairy and food commission under the de-
cision of the Supreme Court, have begun
TO flood the State with liquors adulterated
with poisonous drugs. He declares that the
safety of the public health lies only in abb
stinence from all alcoholic liquors for the
present time. The decision which caused
the trouble was to the effect that the act
under which the dairy and food depart
ment prosecutions are brought does not refer
to liquors. but confines attention to food.
Dr.. Warren says that the next Legislature,
which does not meet until January, 1908,
shall be appealed to, but that in the mean
time he will hunt for way to reach the
liuuor adulterators.

can document has been discovered in Eng

The document Is In the form Of letters
patent granted by William and Mary to
William Penn. Along with a number of
we'll authenticated Penn heirlooms, 1t has
come upon the market through an enter
prsing chartered accountant in the city.
He found it suffering undeserved oblivion
In the household of an English family who
were all unconscious Of its historical value.
Its genuineness Is vouched for by authori-
ties.
The parchment measures 29H by 23la
inches and is deliberately executed. On the
left margin appear three lions, crowned,
with three feurs-de-lis. On the right are the
lion rampant, the harp and the Tudor rose,
each symbol being likewise crowned. The
whole Is surmounted by a representation OF
the royal arms and portrait of King Will
lam III.
As the owner is not DESTROYS OF revealing
his identity, the history of the documents
possession since it left the hand of William
Penn must remain unwritten.
The other heirlooms are an oil painting
of Admiral Penn, William Penn's father,
a silver dinner plate, silver tobacco pipe,
a miniature in gold frame Of the hea d of a
Penn Of the eighteenth century; two pieces
OF bloodstone, with the Penn arms; gold

and one Of moss gate; "a link OF steel chain,
a brass button, three small prints, NINA
ture of the head Of lady, letters with re-
gard to the history Of the pipe. and letter
signed by Penn to Samuel Pepys.
Although unquestionably Of silver. the
pipe, which has a seven inch stem, is quite
black. Its authenticity is testified to by
several documents in the possession OF the
present owner Of the heirlooms. A memo
randum, of which the following is a copy,
is one Of the documents: "A silver tobacco
pipe, given by William Penn to Joseph
Peokowr, a Quaker. who left it by will to
his grandson. Edmund Sparshall. who died
in Norwich, Nov. ?. ls4e. aged &c. at the sale
OF whose effects it was bought In on the
Sd of August, lsis.' There are also letter
signed by Penn himself, one by H. Carney
to Richard Penn. Esq, Whitehall and

uineness.
The silver dinner plate is circular in
shape, on inches In diameter. and weighs
l2l, ounces Troy. Upon its 1h+-inch rim

Judge Foster again reminded the Grand
Jury yesterday to be very careful about
finding indictments on insufficient evidence
or without proper investigation. He called
their attention to the fact that he had lust
dismissed two indictments on the recon-

appeared, he said, that the June Grand
jury had sufficient evidence to indict, but
that further investigation by the District
Attorney had changed the face Of the case.

KING TOLD OF sPA1Ns MISERY.
Minister Of Agriculture Win Call Confer.
ence to Seek Means OF Relief.

Special CdoIe DfspdIcH 10 IhE oUS
MADRID, July l0.-Sehor Romanones,
the Minister of Agriculture, has presented
to King Alfonso a memorial upon the sub
ject of the national distress. He points
out that foodstuffs and other articles OF
prime necessity are enormously dear in
the interior, fact which Is due to the I'M
practical operation Of the railroads and
prohibtive freight rates.
The crops of Andalusia and La Mancha
are, he says. totally lost. 1t is impossible
to relieve the starving provinces or allevi-
ate the distress. Reducing the duties
on foreign wheat and flour has benefited
only the ports. 1t has not benefited the
inhabitants of the inland districts. SPANS
coal bearing regions. covering 100000
acres, hardly have been touched, and the
result is the necessity Of importing two
million tons of coal annually.
Minister Romnnones proposes to call
conference Immediately OF the most
prominent manufa cturers, agriculturists
and railroad men of the country and also
Of workingmen to devise some plan OF
remedying the faults that exist and re-
lieving the misery.
