you again in our great necessity.
Our position.is misunderstood. We
cannot convince our women and
children that another outbreak may
not occur at any time. Their con-
dition IS depIorable; they will
scarcely venture out of their homes
and only feel secure there by our
maintaining a heavy guard and
patrol of armed citizens every night.
We know that the accidental dis
charge of a frearm, any overt
cat of an excited citizen-and our
citizens are fearfully excited
would precipitate upon US the
whole negro force at Fort Brown.
We do not believe that their officers
could restrain or control them.
There are only FIVE officers present,
and the consequence would be fear
full loss of life and probable destruc-
ton of our city. Many of our citi-
zens have removed, and are remov-
ing their families elsewhere. A
Texas town should not be left I'M
aided in this condition. We de-
mand the immediate removal OF
those negroes from our city, and
we ask you to so order.

TO THE GOVERNOR AND SENATORS.
Practically the same as the mes
sage to the president was sent to
Governor Lanham and to Senators
Cuiberson and Bailey, excepting
the last sentence. That to the
governor concludes as follows:
The influence of the governor Of
Texas should be sufficient to pro,
cure us this relief, and we demand
immediate action on your part and
reply.
To the senators, the concluding
sentences are:
We demand the immediate re.
moval of those negroes from oul
city and earnestly ask you to i'm
mediately use your official and per,
sonal influence with the president
to this end. We have been un-
able UP to this date to obtain any
relief. Please answer.
Both were signed also by the
committee as above.
1t is believed that these messages
must bring speedy response and re
suit in some action Immediately
for the relief of the town.

CHANGES IN CABINET.
AMBASSADOR MEYER TO HEAD Z NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Envoy to RussIa Slated to aucosed Secretary 6onaparte, Who VIII
 Take Post of Attorney Gen i eral Moody.

Washington.-Rumors current some time ago that George L. Meyer, am bassador to Russia, would quit his post at St. Petersburg and become member of the Roosevelt cabinet, are now fully confirmed. The latest news from St. Petersburg regarding Ambassador Meyers plans indicate that the cabinet changes which will make room for him at the presidents council table are not far distant.
 It Is probable that Attorney Gen. eral Moody would have retired from the cabinet some time ago to engage in the private practice of law had not the antitrust suits come to the front so prominently. Having taken an important part in the work of preparing for the trial of the Standard Oil cases MT. Moody wishes to see the prosecution fully under way before re- linquishing the portfolio.
 Secretary Bonaparte Is slated to sue ceed Attorney General Moody and Ann bassador Meyer is slated to succeed MT. Bonaparte as head of the navy de- partment. The information that Am bassador Meyer has taken only short lease of the Kleinmichel palace, where he now resides, because he expects to remain in St. Petersburg only short time. Is regarded as assurance of the understanding between him and Pres ident Roosevelt respecting the secre- taryship of the navy.

SOW JONES WON OUT ].
SUCCESS OF YELLOWSTONE
 PARK GAME WARDEN.
By Experiments In cross- -6resdlnu Domestic Cattle and Buffalo He Has Propaoated . New
 Animal,

New York.-When President Roose- welt made his last visit to the Yel- lowstone National park and wrapped himself in one of the new crossbred Dunalo robes-as soft as silk and as large as a parlor rug-he expressed delight and astonishment. Years be- fore c. T. (Buffalo) Jones, game war den of the Yellowstone park, began nis experiments in crossing buffalo With domestic breed of cattle, and MT. Roosevelt said if he could succeed In crossing that old-fashioned buffalo robe he would accomplish wonders. So when the president recently saw the immense silky robes, dark, curly and resplendent. like Russian sable, he told MT. Jones he had fame before him.
 So great has been the success of the experiment that the government has set aside an immense tract of land in Arizona for ranch and the further development of these cross-bred buf- faloes.
 When MT. Jones came to New York the other day to receive a cargo of black Galway cattle from Europe. he was asked for an interview.
 Well, I answer by giving an ac- count of my experience. Leaving Bloomington. H.. my native place, settled in southwestern Kanss and es- tablished cattle ranch. In 1885. dur ing the terrible winter long to be re- membered. lost so many cattle that there seemed no future in the busi- ness.

 Father in the Senate.) ... inee for senator from Howard county and won the election by one of the largest majorities ever received by any Democratic candidate.
 During the session of 1904 he took no very active part on the floor of the senate. His record during the next session. 1906. exceeded the hopes of even his most sanguine friends Hav. ing made careful study of the legis- lative game, he at once assumed the leadership and held the place through some of the most. bitter fights ever fought in Maryland's legislative halls. The greatest service he rendered the state was the passage of a reso lution, offered by himself. for the in- vestigation of the affairs of the Bal timore & Ohio Railroad company. This resulted in complete rout of the corporation legislators and the gain by the state of 32,500,000 for its holdings in the property of the road and reduced the state taxes from 23 cents to 16 cents on the hundred dol. lars. .. When he introduced this resolution his critics intimated that he was not serious in the matter, but his strenu- ous defense of the measure on the floor of the senate and its final pas. sage put them to shame.
 To-day Marylanders speak of him as the stronest possibility for the toga among the younger men of the state, irrespective of politics or party. In the meantime Young German is quietly conducting his law office and seemingly pays little attention to the whisperfngs of his friends. But those who know; say that two years hence. after a return to the senate. he will allow his name to be used as can didate to succeed to his fathers place. now being temporarily filled by Sena. tor Whyte.

Baltimore. Md.-That Arthur Pue Gorman, Jr., may succeed his father, the late senator from Maryland, is the belief of his many admirers in this state.

much of a certainty in Washington that it is hardly necessary to qualify 1t with any doubt--he will bring to that position an expert knowledge such as has not been possessed by any predecessor of recent memory. At the very present he is utilizing his psi. ton in the diplomatic service to make a systematic study of the general na- val situation in Europe, and so will be able to take charge of the American naval service in a manner that would not be expected of a man chosen from private life here, no matter what his interest in 1t may have been or how jealous he might be in its upbuilding.
 It may be taken for granted that Mir. Meyer is just the man President Roosevelt wants for his secretary of the navy. for the Roosevelt programme is to make the United States a sea power in keeping with its new position among the nations. With his intimate knowledge as to what the European poWcfs arc uoihB III tuc mdttcI VI their navies. gained through sources that could not be open to one in an other position, Mir. Meyer. 1t is de- clared. should be in a position to com pei extraordinary attention at the hands of congress when further plans for our naval programme are contem- plated.
 He will. moreover, strengthen the cabinet in other particulars from the Roosevelt point of view. for he is a personal friend of the executives Harvard chum-and, in addition to that, he has gone through a school of experience in the diplomatic service that will make him valuable adviser in the greater affairs of state along with Root and Taft.
 There has been a good deal of spec ulation as to who will succeed Ambas- sador Meyer at St Petersburg. It would not be surprise if he were followed there by Henry White. who was appointed ambassador to Rome when Ambassador Meyer was trans ferred to Russia Russia as a storm center of world politics during the next few years will form field for the diplomats of other nations. and the post will call for talent of a high or. der. Ambassador Whites work as . member of the commission which rep resented the United States at the Mo roccan conference last November was SO eminentiy satisfactory that 1t is regarded as natural that he should Dc selected to perform another important mission, such as the Russian amhas- sadorship will be in the immediate future.
 In the event that Ambassador White Is transferred to St Petersburg 1t Is entirely probable that his successor at Rome either viIl be one of the present lesser lights In the diplomatic service or else there vfll be change about which will afford opportunity for pro motion somewhere else Under the new order Of things the policy of this government. as far as possible. is to make ambassadors and ministers out of those vho have been trained h the diplomatic school as secretaries of em- bzssfes and 1egations

(Game Warden of Yellowstone Park,

 1 observed that while the plains were covered with dead herds as far south as Texas. in not single case did Ind a dead buffalo, They were fat and smooth. and saw several small herds in what was then No Mans Land. now Oklahoma. Among the hundreds of thousands of dead cattle not one carcass of buffalo appeared. That set me thinking. thought long and deep.
 Mature has taught buffaloes how to live and keep fat in the widest weather. They will not only find plenty of grass after the fiercest bliz- sard, but If there is a shortage they will luxuriate on the roots of any kind of herbage, as we'll as bushes and the limbs and buds of cottonwood trees. No matter how terrible bliz- gard may be. bufYaloes turn their faces 10 the storm and will stand fof days fin a beating mortimer that would kill the fattest American cattle or drive them hundreds of miles southward.

TIE SHADOW OF DECAY PREVAILS.

Pftiable conditions are found among the peo- pie and the shadow of decay has fallen upon all It's industries. A majority of workingmen who live in Zion City now make their living in neigh boring towns. Time<. was when laborers from Waukegan, Kenosha And other towns within 2 radius of 20 miles found employment within the growing city; when men even went from Chicago and secured work there at profitable wages.
 Now in Kenosha and Waukegan can be found men of good families with homes in Zion City earning bare living for themselves and those at home by working on new roads. Among these common .laborers are those who once held posi- tions as bank clerks, travelling men and aids to Dowie in his magnificent Mexican scheme
 In the general administration offices of Zion City last year there was employment at good wages for 65 clerks. Now there are less than a

Conditions at the hospice furnish added proof of the decline. The visitor to Zion City used to find the dining-room filled with from 150 to 200 people every day and every room tenanted. To one who drops in now there is presented no spec tacle of booming business; less than 20 discour- aged men and women find seats about the dining room at luncheon. Some of these were invalids, who, as one of the halfalive walters expressed it. could not leave the hospice. Others were officers in the once prosperous town.
