River Ronts Delayed.

=.
 The Alabama River steamer Nettie Quill pulled out for Selma at 9:45 o'clock this morning. She was loaded and ready to leave last night, but the negro deckhands declined to sign for the trip because of the weather con- ditions. It was with much difficulty the necessary negroes were secured this morning. The negroes made no complaint of wages, but kicked on the weather conditions and the 200-pound sacks of fertilizer which they have to ca -ry up the wet bluffs of the river.

PROTECTS RAILROADERS,
House Passes the Personal Liability
Bill,

Washington. - Chief among the
measures passed by the House Mon
day was the so-called personal liabil-
ity BILL" which has been favored by
the army of railway employees through
out the country and which had prac-
tically a unanimous report from the
committee. Members of the House
showed great interest in the measure
and had lewiston been called for the
bill would have had an almost unani-
nous vote.
Mr. Mann said that 931 railroad en-
ployes were killed and 1880 wounded
last year The railway employees were
in favor of the bill he said, and the
best way to protect the public is to
make the railroads pay for the sleepy
engineer who has worked twenty
hours and wherefrom accidents ariea.
The bill makes both parties respon-
sible for their own negligence. 1t also
renders void any contract intended to
restrict the liabilities of the employer
for the negligence of employees.

MoFFAT ROAD PROGRESS.
Completion of Its Own Line Into the
Denver Depot.

Denver.-After four years of hard
work the Moffat railroad has at last
built into Denver, says the Republi-
can, Saturday morning. At 6 o'clock
last evening when the engine of the
construction train gave a long, loud
whistle calling the men to knock off"
work, it was at the Denver, Northwest
ern d PaCitic's own depot at Fifteenth
and BaSsett streets.
Superintendent Deuel. does not know
exactly when the company will begin
using its own tracks, but it will be just
as soon as possible. At present the
company has an arrangement with the
Burlington road, which handles all it's
trains inand out of the city, delivering
them at Utah Junction. This is very
expensive, costing not less than 500
a day, ii is said.
Mr.. Moffat said yesterday that he
does not expect to get the road built
through to Salt Lake before the end
of the two years. They are prepared
to put a large force at work and rush
it, but it cannot be done unless labor
ers can be had. They can use 1000
men this summer if they can be had
but there is a demand all over the
West for them. The Western Pacific
can use 5000 to 10000 of them in it's
work.
The contracts are let for the Moffa;
road to the firms now at work on the
line to Daniels pass, within thirty
miles of Heber, Utah. From this point
into Salt Lake the road will parallel
the Rio Grande Western. short
branch line down to bennington. on
the Clark road. would cut off $50 miles
in the run to the Pacific coast.

FILIBusTERERS' SCHEME.
Plan to Invade Venezuela and Depose
Castro.

New York--The World says:
"One of the largest merchants in
New York said Sunday night that ar
rangements are being perfected here
and in Paris and London for revolu-
ton in Venezuela which will annihi-
late Castro and open up that country
to American capital and enterprise
"a number of rich New York mer-
chants are said to be interested in the
movement which, the promoters de.
clare, will involve the employment of
$4,000 soldiers and the expenditure of
$5,000,000 in the campaign. President
Castro, if the plans do not go astray
is to be either expelled or destroyed,
and a native Venezuelan statesman is
to be installed as his successor.
"In this connection it is said that
Castro. anticipating a successful revo-
luton against him sooner or later, has
converted some of his alleged 40,0O0,-
900 fortune into cash and has sent it to
America and France"

MOROCCO CASE SETTLED.
Germany and France Reach satisfae-
tory Aqreement.

AlgeciraS, Spain.-The committee of
the conference on Moroccan reforms
reached an agreement on all points
This agreement was sanctioned at the
plenary session of the conference Fri
day afternoon.
The complete accord resulted from
a long conference held Saturday morn
ing between NJ. Revolt, head of the
French mission, and Count Won Tat
tenbach of the German mission.
The causes of the long dispute over
Moroccan affairs, which led France
and Germany to the brink of war and
impelled the calling of an international
conference, We're that the empire of
Morocco, an absolute despotism, has
been in a state or turmoil for
many years past, owing to the
natural course of events in Il
coustry unrestricted by any laws
civil or religious, and also on account
of the steady warfare which the Sui
tan. Mulai Abd-el-Aziz, has had to
wage against the pretenders to the
throne.
This caused feeling of uneasiness
among the Arab tribes in Algeria, the
adjoining French territory, and led to
efforts on the part of France to assume
guardianship over Morocco. Ger
many was not willing to unreservedly
agree to this, being second only to
Great Britain in the extent of her in
terests in Morocco.
After considerable further fencing
between Germany and France, those
| two powers July s, 1905 agreed on the
basis of program for the proposed in
ternational conference, which con
vened January 10th and has Just
reached an agreement.

Michigan Railroad Taxes.

W2shington.-The Supreme Court of
the United States has decided the
Michigan railway tax cases involving
the taxes of all the railroads for sew
eral years. against the railroads. The
opinion was by Justice Brewer. The
case involved the validity of a Michi-
gan law fixing the tax value OF rail-
road property on the average value
at which other property is assessed.
AS this nearly quadrupled the taxes
paid by the railroads, they resisted.
and approximately $2.O00,O00 in back

leo, applying for admission to the
United States, the bridegrooms being
native born and residents of San Fran.
cisco, the secretary of the Department
OF Commerce and Labor advises local
immigration officers that the brides
cannot enter. He holds that no woman
forbidden by law to enter the United
States alone and of her own accord
can gain the privilege of entering by
marrying an American citizen. Thus
the brides are barred. though the hus
bands can return home.

Verdict for Dr. Pierce
 AGAINST THE Ladies' Home Journal.

Sending truth after a lie. It is an old maxim that "a lie will travel seven leagues while truth is getting it's boots on," and no doubt hundreds of thousands of good people read the unwarranted and malicious attack upon Dr. R. V. Pierce and his "FavOrite Prescription published In the May Q904) number of the Ladies' Home Journal, with it's great black dis play headings, who never saw the hum Die, groVellng retraction, with its incon- spicuOus heading, published two months later. It was boldly charged in the sland- erouS and l{belous article that Dr. Pierce,s Fayorite Prescription, for the cure of woman's weaknesses and ailments. com tained alcohol and other harmful ingredi- ents. Dr. Pierce promptly brought suit against the publishers of the Ladies' Home Journal, for S200OOO,OO damages.
 Dr. Pierce alleged that MT.

The dispatches of yesterday de scribe a fierce panic caused by mob of Americans striving to catch a glimpse of the daughter of another we'll known American. The unthink- ing are likely to refer to this incident as another exhibition of our national toadyism. Toadyism was not neces- sarily responsible for this deadly crush. The American people are cas- fly touched off by a variety of senti- ments. A month ago q St. Joseph Mo. merchant announced that he had marked down to ten cents certain tin dishpans which he had been selling at a sacrifice at fifteen cents. It ap- peared the next morning that half the women in the city wanted to buy dish pans. Anyway. there was female crush in the store and when it was over one woman was found crushed to death and several others more or less severely injured.

THE OHIo IMBROGLIo.

Arizonians generally received with satisfaction the victory of Senator Dick of ohio. for though they are un- der no special obligations to the Ohio senator the attack made upon him was directed with perhaps greater anmosity against Senator Foraker, to whom AFikonians are greatly indebted. What the effect of the sweeping vic . tory SE Senator Dick over those who demanded his surrender of the party leajecshsp tn the state will be remains t1 hs seen.
 The opposition was headed by Con gfeRssnan Burton, who sought to make a national affair of it by assuming that hs represented President ROose- Sslt and sought among other things senators sn the ground that they had opposed important legislation recom- mended by the president. especially iE the matter of the railroad rate biIl the Philippines tariff bill. and Senator Foraker in the statehood bill.
 lhouSh MT. Burton had not him. self always compiled with the wishes of the administration. his appeal to the popular admiration for President Roosevelt no doubt obscured some what the real issue. the attempt of one party faction to obtain supremacy over the other, for time promised success and gave the movement considerable force. especially in the rural commu- mites, where there is less familiarity with the intricate par,s of party ma chimes.
 The manly definition by MT. Fora ker in an interview. of the duties of united States senators, shortly before fhe holding "t she Dayton -conven- lion had the fsfee'. however. of open ing the eyes Of Buckeye republicans.
