ed to di ect the operations of the
fireman at the fire on Pine street,
Saturday afternoon, and succeed
ed in making a nuisance of him
self. He was taken in charge by
Officer Wilson. and Mayor Paulk
fined him $40 for that offense and
$40 additional for using profane
language. Some friend put up
the cash and Coleman was re-
leased, vowing that the whole
town might burn before he prof
fer his services again.
Mr.. Louis Keim has force of
men at work tearing down and
removing the old colony head
Quarters building from his lots
near the A. & B. depot. Mr..
Keim denied the rumor that he
intended to build a large hotel on
this site, and while he refused to
say positively what his intentions
we're, we feel justified in stating
that a fine ten-room residence
| will soon occupy this ground.
He owns several lots adjoining
and will build a neat cottage on
The one next 10 C.,B. Lees house,
and a building just north of
Tisdel's grocery, to be occupied
by H. VanBuren as a bottling

Mr.. H. C. Philbrick, an old
veteran who resides on a colony
tract close to New Field church,
northeast of the city, was in town
yesterday and told the Enter
prise of an adventure which be-
fell him last Wednesday morn
ing. He awoke about 4 o'clock
to find the room full of smoke,
and the fire gathered Roadway
so fast that he only succeeded in
saving few things before the
flames drove him from the build
ing. He had some money put
away in a vest, but was unable to
get to it, owing to the dense
smoke which almost overcame
him in the attept.
DR.. Holtzendorf, Fitzgera1d's
leading dentist, with Office
over the First National Bank,
is pleasing many patients
who are having artificial teeth in
serted on plates by him, with
his new method, soft Pala te
suction plate" This new meth
Cd suction plate shows an excell-
ent piece of mechanical skill, and
is especially adapted for fiat
pa1ates and those of a sponge
condition. This method, and
special kind of plate, the doctor
says he guarantees to fit per-
fect1y and form such tight sue
ton the patient wearing it will
never be troubled with it falling
out from chewing, talking or
sneezing, or any other cause.
These are the kind of arti-
fetal teeth people should have
when in need of them, DR.. Holtz-
endorf is the only dentist making
this new method in this section,
and is inserting a great many,
having recently inserted fifteen
plates in two weeks. You should
have one of this kind.

ONLY ONE MORE WITNESS.
Secretary Taft May Report on the
Loomis-Bowen Controversy Next Week

Secretary Taft returned to the city last
evening, and was busily engaged at the
War Department today. Part of the time
was devoted to hearing of statements
and counter statements made by Assistant
Secretary Loomis and Minister Bowen IN
regard to the matters in dispute between
them, connected with the formers admins
tration as minister to Venezuela In the
course OF the hearing Mr.. Bowen made the
point that the check drawn by the asphalt
company in favor Of Mr. Loomis was dated
March 8, 1901, and that Loomis' counter
check was dated March o. or one day later
than the date of the State Department s
cabiegram recalling him to Washington on
account of the unsatisfactory condition of
af1 airs in Venezuela. Mr. Bowen said his
purpose in calling attention to these dates
was to show that the transaction with the
asphalt company took place before Mr.
Loonlts could have been aware that ne
was coming home.
Mr. Loomis said that the matter was can
able of satisfactory explanation and that
he would file statement on the subject
this afternoon to supplement his original
statement, showing that the whole transa G.
ton was perfectly legitimates and simply
as convenient means of exchange
The only witness examined this morning
was Mr.. Julian Avelino Arroyo of Vene-
zuea. He was formerly associated with
Lorenzo Mercado and had disposed of some
secoRd-mortgage bonds of the Mercado
claim to Mr.. Jauret, but SO far he was
aware Mr.. Loonlis had no information or
interest whatever in the transaction. Mr..
Porter. at one time bookeeper of the AS
phalt Company, will be examined by Secre-
tary Taft this afternoon or Monday morn
ing, and that will close the taking of testi-
mony in this case. 1t is fully expected that
Secretary Taft will submit his report to
the President before the close Of the next
week.

YACHT RACES OFF DOVER.
Two Events Today for Emperor Will
uam's Prizes.

DOVER, England. June II. - Thirteen
yachts started from here today In the an
nual race from Dover TO Heligoland for
Emperor Williams cup in a heavy rain
storm and with a light wind blowing.
Shortly afterward. at about noon, the
American yachts Atlantic and Apache and
the British yacht Valhalla got away in a
fog over the same course for a special cup
offered by Emperor William for the aux
Hilary yachts which participated in the re-
cent transatlantic race
The participants in the annual fixture
were the American schooner yachts Hide
gare, Fleur de Lys and Endymion. the
American yawl Ailsa, the American-built
schooner yacht Navahoe, the German
schooner yachts Clara and Susanne, the
German yawl Therese. the British yawls
Satanita. Formosa and Lethe. the British
schooner yachts Moorstone and Sunshine.
Shortly after the departure OF the last
yachts two schooners and two yawls were
seen vainly attempting to beat back into
the bay against the flood tide and were
obliged to anchor. The yachts proved to
be the Hildegarde. Fleur de Lys, Lethe and
Moonstone. 1t appears they crossed the
wrong side of the starting line. The Hide
garde, Fleur de Lys and Lethe started again
at O'Clock in the afternoon. The Moon
stone did not start again.

QUESTION rs REOPENED
PROPOSED PEACE CONFERENCE
MAY 60 TO THE HAGUE.

ST PETERSBURG. June II, 7:3o p.m.-
The question of the place of the meeting of
the Russian and Japanese representatives
has been reopened and there is a possibility
that The Hague, instead of Washington
may be selected.
After the announcement that Washington
had been selected Russia expressed a desire
to have the selection reconsidered, and ex-
changes to that end are now proceeding
between Foreign Minister Lamsdorff and
Ambassador Meyer and Washington.
Russia's preference for The Hague is
entirely neutralized. the capital Of small
state, and the site of the arbitration court,

WILL USE HARD COAL.
How Secretary Hitchcock Will Beat the
Smoke Law

Secretary Hitchcock has found an effec-
tive way of stopping all further complaints
against the Department of the Interior for
violating the smoke law.
He gave directions several months ago
to the chief clerk to have the law complied
with, but this was not done. The volumes
of black smoke continued to pour out from
the chimneys of the building occupied by
the general land office and Indian bureau
the old post Office building-in which build
ing is located the plant which heats not
only that building but the patent Office
building across the street as we'll as sup
plying them with electric light.
A few days ago the Secretary was asked
to approve proposals for supplying the de-
partment with coal for the next fiscal year.
An examination of the bids disclosed the
fact that it was proposed to use bitumin-
Gus coal as heretofore, the cause of all the
smoke trouble. The Secretary Instituted
inquiry and aseertained that anthracite
coal could be used well as btuminous,
whereupon he promptly rejected all the
bids and decided that hereafter only an
thracite coal would be used.
New bids will be invited for supplying
the department with anthracite coal for
the next fiscal year beginning July I. This
ends the "black smoke" matter, so far as
the Department of the Interior is con-
cerned.

RUSSIAN SEN TIMEN T

ST PETERSBURG, June 1.-THE note
of the foreign Office announcing that the
negotiations for the meeting of the Russian
and Japanese plenipotentiaries were pro-
ceeding rapidly was printed without COM
ment in the morning papers. but the press
of all shades of opinion is discussing Japan's
probable terms, and declares with practical
unanimity for a continuation of the war
rather than the acceptance of humiliating
conditions In this the newspapers are up
held by public opinion, which is veering
around to the support of the war policy If
Japans terms prove too hard.
Only the Nasha Ziesn advises Russia that
she need not balk at the payment of an in
demnity. the cession of the island of SAX
halin. the renunciation of her right to keep
war ships in far eastern waters or the sur
render of Vladivostok: but the paper holds
that Russia must retain northern Manchu-
ria and the Vladivostok railroad.
The Bourse Gazette which draws a
gloomy picture of Russia's relations with
France, Great Britain, Germany and Aus
tria; the Novoe Vremya and the Reaction
airy Sviet sound hostile notes against the
United States.
The Novoe Vremya reiterates that Rus
sia's chief enemies in the far east are not
the japanese, but the British and Ameri-
cans. account of their commercial rival
ry, while the Sviet objects to Washington
as the place of meeting for the plenipOten-
taries, declaring that the atmosphere there
Is unfriendly, and asserting that Russia
representatives will be subjected to preju-
dicial influences in the capital of the en-
emy ally
All the papers comment on the retirement
OF Grand Duke Alexis from the office of
high admiral. and a general feeling of re-
lief 10 manifested at the fact that the pres
ent naval regime is ended.
Reported Japanese Dissatisfaction.
Special Csblegram to The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-THE fact is
established that Japan Is dissatisfied with
the text of Russia's reply 10 President
Roosevelts note, which reply was trans
mitted on Monday. Japan points out that
the reply is notably wanting in precision,
as compared with hers.
Despite the Russian official communique
IL is known that the fundamental question
of Russias attitude toward the negotiations
caused Japans delay in agreeing to a
place of meeting. Count Avensleben, the
German ambassador, visited Ambassador
Meyer this afternoon and had lengthy
conference with him.

THE WEAVER CRUSADE
ONLY DEVELOPMENT IN PHILA-
DELPHIA TODAY-DISMIssA

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June II. - Mayor
Weaver today issued a statement bearing
upon the letter signed by twenty-one busi-
ness men, and addressed to Sheriff Miles
chairman of the republican city committee,
urging the committee to reform the repub-
lican party. The letter urged that new
nominations be made for the fall election.
The mayors statement is follows:
Il know nothing about this movement,
neither as to its origin nor It's purpose. 1t
is trivial interposition at this time. Some
of the gentlemen whose names appear on
the address l am sure cannot have under
stood the true significance and the possible
effect of their action.
This injection of paltry politics at this
time is unfortunate. The efforts / am max
ing to reform the municipal government and
expose the past abuses and crimes have
given me no time to consider political queS-
uonS or political effects.
1T would be treason to a holy cause to
involve 1t in partisan politics. 1t makes
no difference what persons what parties or
what organize tions fall as the result Of
their participation in municipal wrongs and
crimes of the past. Let them fall"
They must fall and be dethroned before
the work in hand can be completed impair
TALLY and honestly and the affairs of the
people placed on firm and secure founda-
ton for the future. | will consider no
politics until this work Is done.
Treating with the present republican or
ganiZltion over the question of its ticket
for sheriff and coroner is futile and mis-
leading diversion. 1t makes no difference
who that organiza ton puts on it's ticket at
this time This is not a contest over
sheriff and coroner, and I shall not permit
1t to be reduced to such a lame and i'm
potent conclusion if l can help it. There
fore, l speak and thus strongly in
order that the true friends OF municipal re-
honest m n
on their guard against either subtle or mis-
. leading efforts would divert the ISSUE
betray the cause and possibly save for fur
tier evil the parent source of all our
