Cuba Is Resigned.

Havana, December 1.-The message Of President Roosevelt to the American Con gress was published today in the local press. No editorial comment on 1t was made. The liberal and moderate members are chary of expressing any opinion of the Presidents declaration respecting Cuban occupancy, but the general view is that it does not differ generally from the statements made in the letter to Senor Quesada, the Cuban minister, last Sep tember, and the final determination of policy of the United States is in the hands of Congress.

Fl Paso, Tex, December 4.--From in- formation received here late tonight, it is believed the town of Clifton, Ariz,, has been practically washed away. The Copper Queen hotel is said to be swept away by flood and at least fifty persons lost their lives.

 Phoenix, Ariz., December At is re- ported today that fifty people have been drowned in the floods at Clifton, Ariz. Att tcmpts to confirm have been futile as all wires are down.

charged with conspiracy to lynch the ne- gro Ed Johnson, who after the supreme court had taken cognizance of his case last March was taken out of the jail at Chattanooga and hanged by a mob.
 The opening argument for the govern nnent was made by Solicitor General Hoyt and he had not concluded when court ad- iourned for the day. The eases are not before the court on their merits, but merely on the questions of law which are presented, the principal one of which is that of jurisdiction.
 It is contended by Mr. Shlpp and his co-defendants that the United States cir emit court had no jurisdiction in the cases in the beginning. that therefore the supreme court of the United States was also without jurisdiction, and that hence the case was not properly before that court. and as it was not properly there. that no contempt was possible. MT. Hoyt took issue with his antagonists and quot ed many precedents to show that the fed- eral courts had not gone beyond the prop CT bounds in assuming Jurisdiction in the case. He said that allegations had been made that Johnsons rights as an American citizen had been invaded, and that the federal courts Vare open to him under the circumstances.

prsIudioed Through Ignorance.

A number of cards have been re-
ceived by the Seattle Daily Times
propounding in sum and substance
the following question; "Is not the
constitution being violated by not
giving a speedy trial to the officers
Of the mining department of the In
dustrial Workers of the World
Messrs. Meyer, Haywood and Petit
boneS"
The writer's of these cards must
have done so through ignorance Of
the situation, for had the prisoners
so desired they could have had their
trial long ago. The anarchistic ele-
ment do not want Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone brought to trial, but
demand their release without trial,
which position is condemned by all
law abiding citizens excepting those
who through their ignorance have
been led to an unreasonable sympa-
thy for the accused. In answer to
the above question the Times recites
the habeas corpus proceedings where
in the United States court found that
the courts of Idaho have jurisdiction,
and the subsequent appeal to the
United States court of appeals by
the attorneys for the accused men,
and then concludes as follows:
Had the attorneys for Meyer,
and Pettibone refrained !
from taking the case into the United
States court and then appealing from
its decision, the trial of these men
would have occurred many months
ago. Since neither the state of Ida
ho nor the United States government
have had anything to do with this
motion for a change Of jurisdiction,
none of them are to blame for the
delay of the trial. If the motion
before the United States court we're
10 be dismissed by the attorneys of
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone,
The authorities in Idaho would pro-
iced at once to trial"
