FOR P0STOFFICE
J. U. Eldredge, Jr., and Arthur L
Thomas the Chief Aspirants.
.IT is UP TO SUTHERLAND
sMooT FACTION is SAID TO "a.
VoR ELDREDGE FOR PLACE.

RUMORS that Senator George Suth-
erIand had Endorsed County Clerk
J. U. Eldredge, jr, for postmaster
of Salt Lake TO succeed Arthur /
Thomas, whose term expires in Janu-
airy, were in circulation in political cir
cIes yesterday. 1t is conceded that
Senator Sutherland. by virtue OF a long
established custom, viii be permitted
to name the postmaster in his home
city: but Mr. Eldredge declared that
he had not been advised that the sena-
tor had Endorsed him.
The Washington correspondent OF
The Herald questioned Senator Suther-
land last night as to his intentions, but
the senator declined TO make any state
ment
Thomas Making Hard Fight.
Postmaster Thomas. who is serving
his second term, is making hard fight
for reappointment He has the back
ing Of the Salisbury-Lanuan faction OF
the Republican party. His most active
supporter is z. n. Lannan, who, while
in the east recently, laid the wires for
Mt. Thomas reappointment so Ear
as he was able. Mr.. Thomas has a
large acquaintance among men OF
national reputation and leadership ia
the party. and is doing all he can to
line them up.
On the other hand the Smoot-Ander-
SON Callister-S faction, to which
Senator Sutherland owes mis- election
is favorable to the appointment Of Nj.
EIdFedge. The latter is chairman OF
the Republican county committee. and
many young and active workers in the
Republican fold are insisting that he
be appointed
Lines of the Contest.
on the one hand Mr. EIdredge seems
to have the backing of the dominant
faction of the Republican party, and
the younger element of the party as
well. On the other hand Mr.. Thomas
has the support of a large number or
men who have delved deep into their
pockets in days gone by and supplied
the ducats to win Republican vic
tories.
Postmaster Thomas was appointed
first by President Mckinley. he was
Teappointed at the instance Of Senator
Thomas KeaTns in a vain effort to pia-

president of the executive committee

followed during the night by the i'm
prlsonment of the members OF the

soeialistic leaders.
The reaction has come. were the
words on every lip. and in the liberal
extremist camp there was only one
opinion; namely that it must be re-
sisted TO the bitter end. AT all the
meetings last night, some OF which
lasted until morning, the opinion was
unanimous that the government had
forced the hands of the proletariat
aud that the supreme weapon, a gem
eral strike, must be invoked.

clared that the streets of Riga were

at meeting yesterday evening re-
solved that inasmuch "as the reaction
is gaining force and the government is
seeking 70 retract what was won by
the first pan-Russian strike" the rail

Durnovo's Manifesto.

Interior Minister Durnovo today is
sued an official proclamation not only
notifying all the post and telegraph
employees that their failure TO return to
work tomorrow Will be equivalent TO
their discharge, but that all those who
agitate for a continuance OF the strike
or are guilty of cutting or otherwise
destroying wires and apparatus will
be prosecuted to the full extent of the
law.
1t Is learned on high authority that
the government has finally decided
against universal suffrage and practic-
ally IN favor Of the old project Of
twenty-One workmen Representatives
and the extension OF the ballot TO the
small rent payers, merchants and the
educated classes. However, the law
must still pass the council Of the EN-
pire and receive imperial approval If
the decision Is upheld II is apt TO end
all question Of the support of the GEMS
tvoists.
The railroad men claim they have
been informed that several sections Of
the southwestern systems have already
responded Ia the appeal Tor a general
strike Cooler heads. however are ad-
yisins against preeipitate action which
might result in failure. and are urging
postponement of action until the Or
CARNATIONS throughout the country
have been consulted.

Liberals who are disguised with the

strike leaders must be charged To In
terror Minister DuTnovo. who insisted
that he had proof which could be es-
tablished ia the court that NJ. Krusta-
leff was planning an armed revolution.
and that beside attempting to subVert

credit in circulars advising the work
men and peasants 10 withdraw their

Newspapers confiseated .

The newspaper editors at yesterday
evenings meeting decided that the
temporary press law fOrbidding the
discussion Of vital questions affecting
the welfare Of the nation violated the
principles of freedom of speech and
press guaranteed by the imperial mani
testO, and that it must be defied. The
result was that the editions OF the
Russ and half a dozen more radical
papers were cOnfiscated.
The employees of the Riga-Orel rail-
road have declared a strike ON account

The forests Of the Hawaiian islands

ployed by the department Of agriculture.
There are only two distinct kinds OF for
ests In the islands, one on the drier low
lands near the sea and the other on the
mountain slopes, where there is heavy
rainfall. The coastal forest is COM
posed exclusively Of "algaroba," or the
mesquite" Of our southwest, which was
introduced by Father Bachelot in 1897.
From the original tree, which is still
standing, II is estimated that at least go
600 acres Of forest have sprung, fairly
well distributed over the different is
lands. The native forest of the noun
