WILL MEET IN STOCKHOLM
Russian Constitutional Democrats
Going Abroad to Hold Their
Congress.

st. Petersburg Sept. 1S.-Next week
perhaps will witness the spectacle of an
organized political party going abroad to
hold congress and plan an electoral
campaign. The report of the Constitu-
tional Democratic committee who were
sent to Helsingfors to sound the Fin
niSh authorities on their attitude with
regard to holding of the congress of the
party there Sept Fl, was of such a ma
ture that the Constitutional Democratic
executive committee is altering its plans,
and an agent was sent to Stockholm to-
day. The committee is arranging for a
special steamer to convey the delegates
Professor Mouromtseff, who presided
over the lower house, will not attend.
He went to Germany today ostensibly
to visit his son. but it is no secret that
he is out of sympathy with the Viborg
address. and is unwilling to compromise
his political future by participation in
an outlaw congress. The Constitutional
Democrats leaders prefer also that his
availability for the presidency of the
coming parliament shall not be impaired
The ministry makes no concealment of
the intention to resort to all legitimate
means to keep the more radical Consti-
tutional Democrats out of parliament A
cabinet minister said that ii was newt
able that If the congress was permitted
1T would precipitate a students strike
and possibly a repetition Of the general
strike of last October.

man Nominated.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, Sept. 13.-After being
in session from early yesterday morning
until almost noon today the Democratic
territorial convention nominated o. A
Larrazola of Las Vegas as it's delegate to
congress. Mr.. LarrazOla. who has made
the race before, was notified of his nom
nation by wire. and he accepted.
1t is said that the nomination was ten
dered to some half dozen prominent DEM
ocrats of this territory, and thatstt was
only after all had declined that the con
vention urged the nomination of Mr. Lar
raZola.
The convention started out with great
enthusiasm. but simmered down to a ses-
sion of that body in secret and as ascOm-
mittee of the whole.
Resolutions containing an Endorsement of
William j. Bryan for the presidency in
1908 were enthusiastically cheered. Joint
statehood for New Mexico and Arizona

were driven out of Hawaii few years
ago after an exposure of their methods.
After leaving the island, they took up
their abode in Salt Lake and for time
lived modestly and quietly.
Methods Are Exposed.
Mr.. Dye declares the clever methods of
their alleged naturalization of spirits,
which are now exposed by former vic
tim consist of representations OF the
spirits of the dead, by accomplices who
are familiar with the leading character
istics of their dupeS.
These men have preyed on the sorrows
of the bereaYed, Mourning for their de-
parted loved ones, and hoping for some
ray of consolation for their sorrows. the
victims have been drawn into the clever
~ woven net of these men, and have Civ
en- up their money, in exchange for the
shadowy consolation of believing that
that they have been permitted to speak
with the spirits of the dead.
This Shadowy consolation is not given
for nothing, and a fee is exacted for
every naturalization. In this manner
the Arnold Dickson Brothers have played
on the tenderest feeling in human hearts
until they have accumulated sufficient
money to purchase property and build a
magnificent residence and offices, fur
nshed with almost barbaric splendor.

the landing.
Report Withheld.
The report was not made public. but 1t
was announced officially shortly after
ward that the sailors were landed from
the Denver solely for the protection of
the lives and property of American citi-
zens: that such action was in pursuance
of a discussion between Mr.. Sleeper and
the naval commander. with the BELIEF
that II was a wise pTecaution, looking to
the protection of the lives and property
Of Americans. There was no intention, 1t
IS stated. to do otherwise than to safe
guard American inhabitants, and the
services of the sailors were TO be utilized
only in case of disorders within the city
which threatened such inhabitants. That
the landing in any way contemplated the
protection of either the Cuban govern
ment or the insurgent propaganda.

SETTLEMENT IS
VERY PROBABLE
Miners at GoIdfieId Likely to
Return to Work by the
End of the Week.


Goldfeld. New, Sept l3,-The labor
situation today looks much brighter and
there are grounds for believing that the
trouble will be settled. the mines reopen
and all the miners return to work by the
last of the week. The miners meeting
last evening appointed a committee con-
SiSting of officers OF the union to repre-
sent that body and hear all grievances
the miners owners had to submit. Sew
eral of the mine owners met with the
committee almost Immediately after adj
jOurnment last night and the meeting
was prolonged. This morning President
Clough of the union said: THE situation
is hopeful for an early settlement. Our
committee, however, has no full powers
to settle with the mine owners. We are
only appointed to hear their grievances
and then 10 report back TO the organiza-
ton. ] think, however, that the miners
will accept our recommendations, for
there are no differences between the
miners and mine owners. The seeming
trouble came UP over matters that did
not arise from differences between the
miners and their employers as such"
Settlement Probable.
George Wingfield. chairman of the
mine owners committee, said after last
nights meeting that he firmly believes
that a settlement will be effected this
week.
This afternoon members Of the miners
and mine owners committees started to-
gether for Tonopah in an immense auto
mobile. The purpose OF the committees
I'm going to that place is not known. 1t
probably has something to do with the
boycott of the Goldfield Sun, which is
owned by a resident of Tonopah, who also
owns a paper at that place. 1t was the
methods used in this boycott and the
threat to run out Of town every one con-
nected with the Goldfield Sun unless that
paper shut up shop that aroused the citi-
zens of this placed and caused the mine
owners to demand that the miners union
withdraw any recognition of the Inter
national Workers of the World.

HAS No USE FOR
POLITICAL BOSS
Democratic Candidate for Gov
ernor of California Says
Issue Is Clear.

Sacramento, Cal, Sept. 13.-Nearly all
the delegates to the Democratic state
convention have left the city and re-
turned to their homes in various parts of
the state Former Congressman Theo-
dore a. Bell, who was given the nominal
tion for governor, left this afternoon for
his home in Napa, where he was rendered
reception tonight by the citizens of his
county.
Mr. Bell today gave an interview to the
Sacramento Bee, which was in part as
follows:
Feels Responsibility.
"a great responsibility has been placed
in my hands by the action of the con-
veution, but it has come in a manner that
places me in a clear light before the
people of California. The paramount
question Is: Shall the people be permit
ted to participate in the selection of pub
lie servants, or shall that prerogative be
insOlently seized and exercised by the
political boss? II once we surrender gov
eminent to any political machine we yield
up what 1t has taken centuries to win.
For. after ALL is not self-government the
thing that men have always battled for
and deemed the most precious Of all hu-
man rights?
Issue Made Clear.
THE Democratic party would have been
false to every profession il has ever made
If il had failed to draw this issue sharp
and clear, and range itself on the side
of the people. We were called upon to
make good our oft-repeated declaration
that we are informed only by considera-
tions of the common welfare. Had we
failed to take a firm stand for good gov
eminent and square deal we would have
justly forfeited the respect of decent
men.
"If elected governor, I shall endeavor.to
give California a good, clean, econom-
ical administration for four years |
shall execute the laws without fear or
favor. 1 shall be free and independent.
and whatever strength of mind and heart
that God has given me. will be devoted TO
my state"
