Roast Thomas. It's all right, too You
know a package went through the
mails containing some homeopathic
pills. Those pills might have been pol
sonous and have caused the deaths OF

ter's bounden duty to have analysed
/ those pills and to have satisfied him
self that they were harmless. If

Votes in Election.
 New York. Nov. 13.--B E. Odell or lChairn1an of the State Republican ICommittee. said today that the man. agement of the Republican state cam nairn was the most 'asinine' that he ever knew.
 "The whole State ticket" he said might just as well have been elected As the result stands 1t looks ike Democratic victory, and leaves the Republican party in bad shape with national campaign coming on. The Republicans. he declares, made no cafnpaign at all, but put 1t all on Mr. HuRhes's shoulders Contining Mr. | IOdeIl said the people of this state hava always resented the interference or a President of the United states In theif local elections. They nave aone s0 since the days of Dewitt Clinton.
 "I think that the interference or President Roosevelt did more harm than good. I made a mistake when I accepted the chairmanship of the, State Committee while I was GovernE. The people re- sent official and outside interference Tn their local political affairs That IS why I say the interference of President Roosevelt in the last campaign did more harm than good
 T do not wish to appear in the role of general critic for the conduct Of the campaign, but so far as l can make ont' there was no real campaign No use vase made of the record of the Hepubli- can Party. It was all case of per sonalities between the candidates for Governor We should nave stood for many of the things that Mir Hearst ad- vocated, like the eight hour law, the three platoon system for the police and firemen."
 Mir Odell said that Mir Hearst was greatly strengthened as political tec- tor by this campaign, and that while he might not be elected President. he was now a man to be reckoned with in the future He said that combination of Bryan and Hearst would he nara one for the Republicans to beat,

OGuA ENCaE hsAamOAs
 Washington. Nov, 1S.-No confirma- tion of the Victoria report that two Russian converted cruisers had been sunk by a Japanese destroyer in the neighborhood of the Seal Islands had been had at the War Department or the Russian and Japanese embassies here.
 One report was that the crew of a Japanese sailing vessel had attacked the Russian shore patrol, firing re- peatedly at the block house in which the latter sought refuge. In return the Russian cruisers have captured several Japanese scaling vessels, and hard feeling has resulted because the Japanese claim that they were unlaw- fully sized outside the three mile lim- it, and the fishermen have called upon their own government for protection.
 The situation is regarded here as one that might readily become criti- cal in case Japanese warship should fall in with q Russian cruiser carry ing off A prize of this kind.

B. King. Cashier of the Western of Alabama Railway. at s4s sourt Court Street, at 204 o'clock in the afternoon.
 The fire at the hardware store was .of seemingly mysterious origin. It started in a lot of cotton .covsred horse collars. of which probably ffty were ruined, though tiot consumed, by the flames. The fire was located in the extreme rear Of the establishment. not far from the Lee street entrance. H was stopped In time to avoid what promised to be a serious fire. It is be- lieved the flames were started through carelessness on the part of some smoker, as no other theory seems req sonable.
 Tn afternoon blaze started from a chimney spark, and was well started before the, fire department was noti- 1ed. When the firemen arrived on the scene, tho roof of the King residence was n mass of flames and the fire was communicating to adjoining residences The Framework Of the house was saved however, and no damage was done to other than the one place
 The roof oh the King house. which is a one-story, six-raom frame resi- dence, was burned off and much dam age was done the furniture, both from the water and the flames The loss Is estimated at sl.500 and perhaps as much as S7,000. fully covered by insu- rance.

Most of the communications accord ing to the department. reveal ignor- ance of important facts connected with the case, an Acting Secretary Oliver has ordered tho printing in pamphlet form the report of Colonel Bixby, who nAde tho original investigation into the rioting at Brownsville last August by some of the members of tine 18th Infantry. as well as the further report of Inspector General Darlington, and these pamphlets will be supplied to the correspondents.
 Tn answer to an inquiry as to wheth- CT any of the black soldiers could be enlisted if they could prove they had not been guilty of compllcity in the rioting or the subsequent agree ment to conceal the identity of the rioters. it was stated at the war de- pertinent that the question had been given some consideration already, and, although & conclusion had not been reached, it was believed the President probably would consent to modify the orders in individual cases where in- justice would result from its rigid ap- plication.
 Upon re-eniistment, however. the soldier would not be able to claim the benefits of the retired list, because his military record would be fatally defective.

regular monthly meeting last night
at Central Labor hall The union
received notice that the pressmen
employed on the Minneapolis Trib-
une had gone on strike and asked
the local unions throughout the
country to assist wherever posi-.
BILE. The communication also stated
that the Minneapolis union was be-
ing assisted by the central bodies
of that city. The pressmen may
decide to change their meeting
night, the object being to meet on
some date nearer to the meeting
day of the typographical union, so
that matters which interests both
unions can be acted upon in a more
expeditions manner.

DENIES JOINT
RATE CHARGE
(Scripps News Association.)

COLFAX, Wash, June 21.-The
issue before the state railroad com.
mission hehre Is joint rates. But
one answer to the complaint has
been filed, that of the o. r. & NJ.
which gives fiat denial to the
charge that it has ever had joint
rates with the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific on grain from
eastern Washington points to
Puget Sound.
The complainant ask for a joint
rate on the o. r. & N. from east
ern Washington to the Sound.
If the commission establishes a
joint rate. the o. r. & N. will be
the road most affected. 1t is now
expected that the brunt of the fight
will be taken by the o. r. & N.
and color is given this by the fact
that the Great Northern, through
Judge Gordon of Spokane, asked
for dismissal of the complaint,
while the Northern Pacific aSled
for time in which to file answer.

that concern is today the only

The National Iron Works has
fought the molders during the last
three years and much bitterness
has been engendered on account of
the trouble. The firm has claimed
that the union resorted to unfair
tactics and that castings had been
ruined in various illegal and under.

claims that the castings vert
ruined by incompetent workmen,

, fed like rats from a sinking ship
With the idea that the goblet was
empty they fiocked to du Pont
whose vast fortune grows apace
but with whom they cannot deal di.
rectly and for whom they have nc
love. Du Pont is the head of the
rich powder trust and associated
with the railroads and the coal
trust.
While, among the legislators who
voted du Pont into office, his real
admirers could make a balloon as.

ter than Addicks, who is supposed
to be hard pressed financially, du
Point was voted in without as much
demonstration as a hand clap. One
lone Addicks supporter stuck to the
ship.
Colonel du Pont, a short, wiry,
selfcontained heir to fortune, came
into the fight to save Delaware
from the disgrace of Addicks." AS
a matter of fact he longed for the
honor, but had not had opportunity
to make the venture. The politi-
clans saw a chance to pit one bar
rel of gold against another.
The recent special session of the
legislature was called through Ad-
dicks, and he aHeed with du Points

1t had been arranged to have du

Addicks flew around testing feal-
ty without money. 1t was pitiabie.
His army was shattered.
The legislature assembled, and
Addicks got one vote, that of Sen
ator Tom Moore, who told me that
Addicks had been a true friend.
1t is believed that if Addicks
could have convinced his purchas-
able supporters that he was to
spend s150,000, du Pont would not
be senator-elect today. In his first
royal fight he admitted the ex-
penditure of s125,000. In that cam
paign the legislature was dead
locked during PIT ballots. And
practically the same men are in
