New York, November 5.-Nornan Hap good, editor of Golfers Weekly, is quoted in the Times today as having made the following statement regarding the charge by John B. Moran, candidate for governor in Massachusetts, in a letter to District Attorney Jerome, that story treating of alleged bribery by what he termed the tobacco trust" had been suppressed and would not be published until after the election:
 "That is pure rot. It is true that we are publish a story of the tobacco trust and that story will be the story of the trust from it's beginning to the present day. It is also true that part of the story will deal with the influencing of legislation by the trusts. We are very sorry that the story was not ready for publication some time ago, as we would have been very glad to publish it before election"

 President Sets Example.
 President Roosevelt, who sets the ex- ample of good citizenship by going from Washington to Oyster Bay to cast his vote, left the White House on this pill grimage at midnight. He will return to- morrow and arrangements have been made as usual to keep him posted at the White House of the election returns.
 The Presidents cabinet is still in the field. Most of the cabinet have done strenuous work, and several of them will find it convenient to be at their homes to vote tomorrow.
 From all reports, however, fewer voters have gone home from Washington to vote than in any congressional year for a decade. This is owing largely to the fact that free transportation H,as been cut off, and that election rates on the rail- roads are higher than they have been be- fore.
 New York Voters Are Exception.
 The single exception to this rule is the case of New York voters. Considering the expense a remarkably large number of Empire state voters, resident in Washing ton are going home to vote.
 The congressional predictions by the re- publican and democratic congressional committees with headquarters respective Iy in New York and Washington, remain the same as the finals announced a few days ago. The republicans claim the next House by fifty; the democrats claim it by twenty-two.
 New York maintains her position in the limelight of public interest, and the cam paign there is to be kept up until the last possible moment. Both state commit tees claim the state for their candidate by large pluralities.
 Reports from other sections of te coun- try indicate alternately apathy and in terest.

IN BARABOO

Randall A. Peck of Baraboo, who as
conductor was charged with issuing
the unfortunate orders that caused a
collision between trains on the North
western south of GAINESVILLE on Feb
ruary IA, threw himself before a NOV
ing train at the Baraboo yards yester-
day and was killed. He leaves a wife
and three small children, the Oldest a
lad of 10 years.
Since the distressing accident Mr.
Peck has been in bad health and has
suffered great mental strain His
physicians called his malady nervous
prostration. Most of the time has
been passed by him of late in walk
ing about The yard at his home and
he has not been able to shake off the
brooding spirit of melancholy. In
the mixup of trains Peck was badly
injured and he recovered strength
slowly. He had been connected with
the Northwestern for more than 20
years and up TO the time of the James
vile wreck had a good record. His
father was a pioneer merchant in Bar
aboO, going there from Madison
While recognizing the inevitable con-
sequence of such a mistake in orders
as that which caused the fatal acct
dent, the railroad men generally
sympathized with Mr.. Peck in his re-
tirement. His good record and wide
personal popularity stood him we'll in
the time of his seclusion. He was a
man of exemplary habits and correct
life.

Washington, July again the
United States probably figures as a
peacemaker. Guatemala and Salvador
are making overtures for arbitration
of their troubles resulting from the
alleged activities of Salvador in sup
port of the revolutionary movement
against President Cabrera of Guate-
mala, and it is likely that the United
States will be selected as the country
IN which the board of arbitration will
meet
The state department has been adj
vised of the desire of the two coun-
tries, which are almost at the point
of war, to have their differences set
tied by arbitration, and although
formal negotiations have not been
made as yet, there seems to be but
little doubt that an amicable settle
ment of the points of differences will
he finally effected through arbitrator.
At the first intimatiOn of outside in
reference in Guatmalan affairs, the
department sent the Marblehead to
Panama to prevent meddling, and
Mexico and the United States both
made it clear that they would look
with disfayOr upon any combination
of Central American powers to over
throw President Cabrera. When the
position of the United States became
clear Salvador announced the appoint
ment of j. r. Pacus as special envoy
to present the Salvadorean position to
the American authorities and prevent
any serious international complied
tions. The state department has been
advised of the departure of Pacus for
this country, but Tit is not believed he
will arrive in Washington for several
weeks, gecause of the difficulty Of
reaching this country from Salvador.
Guatemala has complained bitterly
to the United States of the conduct of
Salvador and charges that the latter
government has taken every means to
forward the cause Of the revolution
airy general Barillas, and to hasten
the downfall of President Cabrera.
1t is charged that Salvador not only
winked at all the expeditions which
crossed her boundary into Guatemalan
territory, but actually sent troops into
Guatemala and committed many acts
which cannot be regarded as less than
invasion of the territory of a friendly
power.

ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN IN PATRIOTIC
ADDRESSES ON NATIONAL HOLIDAY

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 6.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his fourth of July
message to the American people de-
livered here in a pouring rain made
this the keynote Of his address:
when it becomes necessary to curb
a great corporation, curb it. l will do
my best to help YOU
Other thoughts from his address are
these:
Distrust as a demagogue the man
who talks only of the wrong done by
the men of wealth.
Distrust as a demagogue the man
who measures iniquity by the purse
Measure iniquity by the heart,
whether a mans purse be full or
empty.
If the man is decent man, whether
well off or not we'll off, stand by him;
if he is not a decent man stand
against him.
Stand against him in no spirit Of
vengeance, but only with the resolute
purpose to make him act as decent
citizens must act if this republic is
to be.
The supreme test is mans own
family.
We must do the duties of hum
drum citizenship. Then in time of
need we shall rise as our fathers rose
to every emergency

Linden, July 6.-William Jennings
Bryan in a fourth of July address at
the banquet of the American society
OF London set a high ideal for the
premier nations of the world. He de-
clared their mission should be to up
life the weaker and more benighted
peoples of the orient by an example
far more enduring than violence af-
fords. Here are some nuggets from
his speech.
Through him president Roosevelt)
our nation won a moral victory more
glorious than a victory in war
Justice, after all, is cold and pulse
less, a negative virtue. The world
needs something warmer, more gen
erous.
The belief that moral questions can
be settled by the shedding of human
blood is a relic of barbarism.
Nations cannot afford to do evil in
the nope that Providence will trans
mute the evil into good and bring
blessing out of sin.
Schoolhouses have not been opened
by the bayonet.
In all international disputes, arbi-
tration should be agreed to by tie
contesting parties with the reserve
right that if the country against
which the decision of the arbitrators
was given could not accept the find
ing, it need not.

MINERS LOST s12,ooo,ooo.
A Strike That Proved Enormously
Costly.

Costly.
Scranton, July 6.-Figures just com
piled show that the wage loss to
mineworkers during the suspension
of work, from April ! to May Is, or
dered by John Mitchell, president of
the miners union, amounted to more
than $12,000,000 The total anthra-
cite shipments in April, 1905, were
5,278,O41 tons; and for May, 1905,
6,500,158 tons. Estimated on this
basis the tonnage from April 1 10
May Is, 1906, would have been more
than 100000 tons. The average
amount paid in wages of labor per ton
of production in the anthracite field
is $155, showing a loss of at least
$12,400,000 sustained by the wage
earners.
The $1.55 per ton does not include
the salaries of superintendent, of
fee men, or any other wage item be-
yond the amount paid to the actual
workers in the mine and breaker.
During the period of idleness the men
received no allowances from their
union, so that when they returned to
the mines after six weeks idleness,
on exactly the same terms prevailing
when they were ordered out their
loss of earnings amounted to over
$12,000,000 net.
