Points from Roosevelt,s Message.

Points from Roosevelt's Message.
President Roosevelt's recommendations
to Congress, based on the Garfield oil re-
port, are, in brief, as follows:
law should be passed regarding oil sim
llar TO that putting alcohol used in arts
ana manufactures on the free list.
Fee to oil or coal lands held by the gov
eminent should be kept by the govern
ment.
Rallroads should be permitted to unite for
protection TO themselves and the public as
against the power of great corporations
Examiners under the direction of the in
terstate commerce commission should eX-
anime the affairs of railroad as thoroughly
as bank examiners investigate banks.
The commission should have affirmative
power making its decisions take effect at
once, subject only TO such action by the
court as is demanded by the constitution"
The proper play for Individual initiative
can only be secured by such government
supervision as will curb these monOpolies
which crush out all individual initiative"
Commissioner Garfield's report finds that
both secret and open rebates to the Stand
ard Oil Company have existed all over the
country. The determinations by secret tar
IFS alone have aggregated $4,000 a year.

One from the Capital.

In Washington they are whispering
story concerning very distinguish
ed statesman who attended the birth
day party in honor of Speaker Can
non. He and some thirsty friends de-
voted themselves with less wisdom
than assiduity to the bountiful supply
of refreshments available on that oc-
casion. Consequently he was in rath-
er double-visioned frame of mind
when he reached home. That evening
he wore for the first time one of a new
batch of shirts which his wife had
bought for him. This fact bore heav-
lily on his mind when he began to un-
dress. He tried half dozen ways to
pull of the new-fangled garment, but
failed, and finally called to his wife
who was sleeping in an adjoining
apartment: my dear, am sorry to
disturb you, but I wish you would
show me how to get out of this con-
founded shirt" The lady came to the
door of his apartment, looked him over
and replied, in tones that absolutely
froze him stiff: II would suggest that
q most essential preliminary to TAX
ing on your shirt is first to take OF
your coat and waistcoat"

TWO Americans Among the Dead.

Naco, Ariz.-Many men we're shot
down at La Cauanea, Mexico, forty
five miles from the international line,
at O'Clock Saturday afternoon. The
wholesale slaughter occurred immedi-
ately after Col. William C. Greene.
president of the Greene Consolidated
Copper Company, had finished a speech
to the Mexican strikers, endeavoring
to pacify them.
After firing upon the Americans,
with whom they swore no longer to
compete, the Mexicans began to set
fire to the city and to dynamite the
vast works of the Greene Consoli-
dated.
Thirteen are known to have been
killed in the fighting. They are:
George Metcalf.
William Metcalf. a nephew Of
George.
Ten Mexican strikers.
One Mexican child.
A. S. Dwight, general manager Of
the Cananea Consolidated Company.

Americans and scores of Meyicans
were wounded.

orous resistance by the Americans and
a portion of the city police force alone
prevented a wholesale slaughter here
yesterday.
Colonel Kosterlitsky, commander of
the Mexican rurales in this district,
arrived at Z o'clock last night with a
strong force, and the rioters fed to the
hills.
Colonel Kosterlitsky threw out
guards and with the aid of the city po-
lice has been rounding up suspects all
day. There was some desultory firing
during the night, but since morning
the town has been quiet.
But two Americans were killed yes
terday, though several were slightly
wounded. Ten strikers are known to
have been killed and many wounded.
Governor Ysabel of Sonora arrived
to-day noon with 275 American rife
men from Naco. When the governor
reached Naco the Americans rendered
their services. He told them that IL
Trey would forget their American citi-
zenship temporarily and promise to
obey his orders implicitly, he would
take them to Cananea. They assented
with cheers and were at once ordered
on board his train.
The governor has assumed supreme
command here and the mines and
sinelters will soon be in full operation.

Princess Henry of Battenberg, and her
ladies of honor and escorted by a regi-
ment of the royal guards. The brides
party were installed in the ministry
of marine, which had been sumptu-
ously prepared for her. The princess
put on her wedding dress and Queen
Christina greeted the bride, after
which the ladies breakfasted together
in the blue salon of the ministry.
The wedding cortege started from
the royal palace at $3.50 a. M amid the
ringing of church bells, the firing of
artillery, salutes and the clamorous
enthusiasm of the crowds massed
along the route.
The brilliancy of the first part of the
cortege was far surpassed when the
famous royal gala coaches came into
view, each drawn by eight superb
white horses with golden and .silver
harnesses and lofty colored plumage,
looking like the coaches depicted on
some illuminated page of fairy book.
These coaches formed one of the most
striking features of the wedding cor
tege.
The massed bands played the Span
ish national anthem as the bridal cou-
pie with measured steps passed within
the church.

Don't Forget the Women.

Almost the last of those who are
accorded honor for their heroism at
San Francisco are the women and
especially the trained nurses. 1t is
agreed that no others showed such
coolness, such unflinching courage as
they. No call was awaited, but they
sought for the wounded and walked
without faltering amid scenes that
even strong men could not endure
the sight of and from which they
ran away. The good done by that
band of devoted women is not to be
estimated and it is only just begin
ming to be appreciated and put on rec
ord. Due praise has been given Funs-
ton and his aids for their work. The
police and firemen have figured large
ly in the dispatches. The doctors
have not been overlooked. but the
nurses are still awaiting their share
of the common glory of fearless and
skillful service.

REPORT ON STATEHOOD.
Conference Agreement Reached but
Bill in Danger.

Washington = Conferees on the
statehood bill Saturday signed a report
covering all points in dispute, but ex-
ception was taken by the Democrats to
the agreement in relation to Arizona
and New Mexico. They refuse to ac-
cede to the terms of the House bill,
which they say provides elaborate
machinery" for the coming election
land is intended to coerce voters to
favor joint statehood"
The opposition to the admission OF
New Mexico and Arizona as one state
has been led from the first by Senator
Foraker. By the aid of a few Republl-
cans and practically the entire Demo-
cratic strength he has succeeded in
preventing an agreement on any meas
ure that would not, give the people of
either territory the right, at a special
election, to repect joint statehood.
BY the agreement signed to-day the
people of these territories can vote
separately on the question of statehood
at the regular election November 9th,
at which time territorial officers of the
proposed new state are elected and a
vote upon the constitution, heretofore
adopted, is also to be had.
When the conference report was pre-
sented to the Senate Senator Foraker
declared that 1t was not acceptable to
him and he would do his utmost to de-
feat it. Senator Bailey declared that
the agreement would not be accepted
by the Democrats. The indications
are, therefore, that the report will pre-
cipitate another sharp contest in the
Senate.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards-Receipts
Of cattle here last week were over a.
0e0 head but most of them were south
ern stockers going through to eastern
and northern pastures and offerings OF
natives were very light Demand was
strong-much better than the supply
and prices closed fully steady with the
opening although all eastern markets
are weak to 15c lower The run at
eastern points was not heavy but de-
mand slumped off very materially and
trade was slow On this niarKe. Je-
nand was strong, especially fol beef
cattle. Few steers were offered and
trade was quiet. Those here sold
readily and packers would have bought
good many more. Choice steers
would have sold around $4.75 to Sass,
but few here good enough to bring bet
ter than $460 and bulk sold from this
down to s4.00. Cows were also in
good demand but scarce. Best sold at
$3.50, but few landed at 1886 as they
were not good enough, and bulk went
from this down TO $500. Bulls were
active and fully steady. Veals also sold
well, toDS lOT lHe Wtth 9o-1V-
which is considerably higher than a
week ago. Feeder and stocker trade
was quiet as supply was light. De
mand was very good and prizes closed
fully steady Eastern markets report
a very dull trade and prices generally
weak. Several sales of southern stock
ers were reported at $24 to $25 for
twos and SIS to $1S.75 for yearlings.
Demand for southerus is good
The hog supply was not as heavy as
the proceeding weak but very good. De
mand was better at the close than at
the opening and market is now in
very good shape again. Prices remain
about the same as a week ago with
tops selling around $3.50 and the range
down to s6.10.
There is no material change in the
sheep market. Receipts were about
1900 head only, and most of these
came in direct to packers. Demand is
very good and prices about steady
here.

Madrid-The capture and suicide
Saturday night at Torrejon de Ardos
of Manuel Morales, the chief suspect
of the bomb outrage against King Al
fonso and Queen Victoria, adds an
other dramatic chapter to the events
surrounding the royal wedding.
Morales was recognized in the little
town of Torrejon de Ardos. midway be-
tween Madrid and Alcala. A guard
sought to detain him, but Morales,
drawing a revolver, shot the guard
dead. Then he turned to fee, but a
number of the inhabitants of the town
were upon him, and, turning the revol-
yer upon himself, he sent a shot in the
region of his heart, expiring few min.
ures later. Senior Cuesta, proprietor of
the hotel, from the balcony of which
Morales threw the bomb. viewed the
body to-day and completely identified
it as that of his recent guest.

Loopholes in the Law.

British statesmen are again strtv-
ing to amend the law so as to permit
persons convicted of crime to appeal
to q higher court. The need of some
change In the law has long been admit
ted, for although a man against whom
. verdict of hundred pounds has
been found in a civil court may ap-
peal. one who has been convicted Of
murder must submit to the sentence
with no effective appeal save to the
clemency of the home office. The ex-
perience of perfectly innocent man

has reused the British sense Of justice
till II has been decided that the law
must be amended. There is no agree
ment yet ON the details Of the proposed
changes. but 1t is admitted that the
new should be so framed as not to lead
to delay In the execution of sentence
on the guilty. The London Times re-
marks that Delay in disposing of
cases of murder for example. would
mean in effect the abolition Of capital
punishment. The public would not en-
dure the thought of men lying in
prison many months uncertain Of
their fate" In America. where oppor-
tunities for appeal seem at times to
be almost unlimited, says Youths Com
panion. the public does not concern
itself much when convicted murderers
delay execution for years by resort to
every device for postponement that in
genious lawyers can discover. Abuses
arising from the freedom of appeal are
as great here as those In England aris-
ing from the summary execution of
the sentence of the trial court.
