the Pulaski county grand jury recon-
vened today to resume investigation of

ing Attorney Lewis Rhoton announced

Swan Nlagara's Rapids.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, July 17.-Car-
Isle D. Graham of this city and Will
liam ]. Glover of Baltimore, success
fully swan the lower rapids of the Ma
CARA river from the American side OF
the whirlpool to Lewiston this after
noon. The distance of four miles was
covered in twenty-six minutes by Glo-
yer.
The start WINS made at 4:O2 p. M,
from Flat Rock which is on the Amer
lean side. The swimmers did not ven
ture in the upper rapids where Captain
Webb lost his wife.
Both men wore life belts and inflated
rubber rings around their necks. From
the start Glover took the lead. He en-
tered the rapids about minute ahead
of Graham. Until the DEVILS hole was
reached the swift current and roaring
rapids had the swimmers in their grasp
At that point a swirling eddy caught
Glover and he was down nearly tWC
minutes. His life belts saved him
Graham by this time had gained OF
Glover, and when the two men reached
the end of the rapids just above sus
pension bridge at Lewiston there was
but little distance between them
Swimming in the swift, smooth current
was hard for Graham, but evidently
easy for Glover. At 4:28 o'clock Clio
yer was pulled up on the dock at Lewis
ton. He was dressed and about fifteer
minutes later telling his story. Ora
ham was taken to a hotel in wagor
and did not leave bed until late in the
afternoon. Neither of the men wa'
injured.

REPAIRS TO WHITE HOUSE.
Presidents Mansion Being Remodeled
During Absence of Mr.. Roosevelt.

Washington, D. c., July 17.-During
the absence of President Roosevelt and
his family for the Summer, the White
House is undergoing an extensive
housecleaning and course of repairs.
Although but three years have elapsed
since the interior of the presidential
mansion was thoroughly remodeled at
great expense, several defects have ap-
peared, and it has been found that some
of the material and workmanship were
not of the best grades. The big pillars
erected in the large entrance on the
main floor, have crumbled in the past
year. They are built of brick and
plastered about steel girders.
At the time they were put in, the
architects were criticised for not using
marble. The outside material is now
being replaced.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

They do say that Andrew jackson
J Montague found that hot air is very
poor ammunition to use against common
sense.
The Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte, the
new Secretary of the Navy insists upon
writing his name in full, as above, when
affixing his signature to official docu-
ments.
Since the passage of the Gold Stand
ard Act on March 14th, 1900, the bank
ing facilities of the United States have
been nearly doubled. Since that date
more than 25OO new banks have been
established and there were about $500
prior to 1900.
The East Virginia Democracy has
been trying to read Judge Samuel W.
Williams out of the race as candidate
for Attorney General, but he will not
be read out. He has deposited with
State Chairman ]. Taylor Ellyson the
$500 necessary to protect his candidacy.
The Republicans of the State are
pretty generally for making Judge l..
l. L. Lewis their candidate for Governor.
Nearly all, if not all, of the meetings
that have been held to send delegates
to the State convention have instructed
for Judge Lewis. There is no doubt
about his nomination if he will consent
to make the race, and he is hardly
likely to decline nomination that will
be made by acclamation.
In the only joint debate that has
taken place between Senator Martin
and Governor Montague, the Senator
told the Governor that he could not
build good roads with hot air. This
was the truth; but the Democratic
party is now trying to build roads and
school houses in Virginia with that kind
of material. Hot air is one Of the
chief elements called into requisition by
the average Democratic politician in
Virginia.
General Horace Porter, former Amer
ican Ambassador to FRANCE and who has
just returned to this country says that
the petty jealousies formerly held in
Europe against the United States have
been obliterated. Speaking of Mr..
Roosevelt he says: "He is a figure of
surprising interest to Europeans. |
should say that he is the best known
and most talked about man in the world.
He is generally looked upon as an in
tensely human, courageous, leyel=head-

Clark's Indian Romance.

Helena, Mont, July 1S.-COngress-
man Joseph Dixon, at his home in
Missoula, has discovered indisputable
evidence of a romance in the life OF
Captain William Clark of the famous
Lewis and Clark expedition. While so
journing among the Nez Perces Indians
Just 100 years ago the famous explorer
fell in love with an Indian maiden OF
the Neg Perces tribe, and married her,
There is now living on the Flathead
reservation Mary Clark, the grand
daughter of Captain William Clark, and
the direct descendant of the explorer.
She was the daughter of "Me Clark, y
as he called himself, or Ia Lao, as the
Indians call it. Me Clark had the red
hair of his father and had learned the
English language from his mother.

Presidents Vigorous Note on Cotton
Statistics Scandal.
WORSE THAN THEFT OF HONEY
Sharp DenunciatiOn Ofthe Assistant Statis-
tician Who Was Dismissed for Giving
Out Advance Information.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 15.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has determined that the
scandal growing out of the cotton re-
port leaks in the Department of Ag-
riculture shall be probed to the bot
tom. He holds that the man or men
responsible for the leaks are even in
a greater degree culpable than they
stolen money outright from the govern
ment. He proposes that Assistant
Statistician Holmes, against whom ser
ious allegations are made, shall be pun
ished if it shall be found possible to Sc
cure his arrest and conviction under
present laws,
HAS BEEN KEENLY INTERESTED,
The president has watched the work Of
the investigation conducted by Secret
ary Wilson with keen interest. The
general results have been presented to
him together with such recommenda-
tions as Secretary Wilson had to make.
The President took prompt and decisive
action. He referred the matter to the
Department of Justice with instructions
that it should be given immediate and
careful attention. In accordance with
that order, Solicitor General Hoyt is
now making a thorough inquiry in the
case,
To reinforce his formal order, Pres
ident Roosevelt wrote the following
pointed letter to Attorney General
Moody:
Ny Dear Mr.. Moody:
most earnestly hope that every eff
fort will be made to bring Holmes to
Justice in connection with the cotton
report scandal. Please 60 over the
papers yourself. The man is, in my
judgment, a far greater scoundrel than
if he had stolenImoney from the govern
ment, as ne used the government to
deceive outsiders and to make money
for himself and for others.
Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
To Hon. William H. Moody, AttOr-
ney General, Boston, Mass.

interviewed King Oscar.

Belin, July 17.-Dr. Hugo Came,
correspondent of the Frankfort Zeit-
ung, has had an interview with King
Oscar, of Sweden, at Stockholm, dur
ing which he said be admired the way
in which the Norweigians won to their
side all the European publicists with
out, however, benefitting their cause.
The wrong remains wrong" said
the king, adding that the Norweigians
had surprised him by the suddenness of
their acts. King Oscar denied that he
had precipitated the crisis by declining
to accept the resignation of the Nerwe-
gian cabidet, for the Norwegians, them
selves, had declared that whoever &C.
cepted portfolio would cease to be
Norwegian.
The correspondent remarked that he
had heard only words of respect for the
king in Norway, to which his majesty
replied:
For my part, / have forgiven the
Norwegians, and hope to God that the
Swedish people will also remain aim

The king also said that appointing
Swedish prince to the Norwegian throne
would certainly be the simplest solu
tion of the difficulty, but the result
would be distrust in Sweden or in Nor
way. Every time public opinion eithel
in Sweden or Norway was displeaseC
with the sovereign's acts the cry woulC
be raised, "The son does this to please
the father" or 'The father does this

ASSAULT CAREFULLY PLANNED.

The assault by the thugs, which was
carried out with the aqdaeity and
precision that showed careful training
was the method adopted to block "anti-
machine" reforms in the organization.
The assailants are unknown; they were
not recognized by the men they held up
but circumstantial evidence indicates
that in attempting deliberate murder
they were acting at the instigation OF
the "old gang'' element, the machine
crowd that was deposed six months
ago.
In picking Michael DonneIly as the
victim, the thugs selected a labor lead
er who was responsible for the repudia-
ton of John C. Driscoll, by the feder-
alton three years ago. Donnelly is a
man of unimpeachable character. His
ability was shown last summer when he
conducted the stockyards as president
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Morkmen. Three years ago
he was the victim of a similar assault,
Driscoll confessing to the grand jury
recently that he paid hired assassins
$50 each to put him away.
