VIENNA, Oct. 17.-Disquieting ru-
mors are circulating among the public
respecting the state of health of the
Emperor Francis Joseph. They are es-
pecially strengthened by the fact that
his majesty, since his return several
days ago from Ischl. has not left his
apartments in the Schoenbrunn palace,
and that his general audiences, as well
as public engagements arranged for
the next few days, have all been post
poned.
1t is stated in authoritative quarters
that these reports are exaggerated, but
that nevertheless his majesty's health
can by no means be characterized as
satisfactory.
Neither the catarrh nor the cough
from which he was suffering yielded
to the mountain air of Ischl, but
still obstinately remain.
In consequence of the extremely un-
favorable weather, the monarch is COM
PEELED to remain in his rooms for fear
neuralgia symptoms should develop.

SETTLES CLAIMS OF RIVAL
MAYORS AND CHIEFS
No Disorders Reported Anywhere In
Cuba Except Marauding Bands
Around cienfuegos and In
Plnar del Rio
By Associated Press.

| By Associated Press.
HAVANA, Oct. 17-While there re-
mains some unrest in Cuba which
Governor Magoon describes tonight as
the mere ripples of the receding tide
of disorder, adjustment of the charges
against the mayors and chiefs of po-
lice of various towns is progressing
satisfactorily.
The governor regards the settlement
of the claims of rival candidates to
the office of mayor as important, as
they mark the first step in the COM
plete reorganization of the government.
The complaints against a few pro-
vincial governors will be adjudicated
after a thorough investigation by Gov
ernor Magoon, who will make new ap-
pOintments when necessary.
Moderates and Liberals in several
towns are making counter charges of
the concealment of arrangements, but
these matters are difficult to verify.
Five former Republican Officers of
Santa Clara have appealed to Cover
nor Magoon for the protection of them
selves and their families, alleging per-
secution at the hands of the local po-
lice.
With the exception of the report of
marauding of small armed bands
around Cienfuegos and in Pinar del
Rio province there are no disorders
anywhere in the island.

our government with the American
farm, through the shipment of agri-
culture, has demonstrated the wisdom
of this cooperation in giving direction
to American industrial forces; and
our government with the American
miner, through a department of min
ing, will give an additional and con-
elusive proof that American industrial
progress can be most permanently ad-
vanced through this method of Coop
Grafton between the government and
the people,
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
American Mining congress, in conven-
ton assembled. most earnestly urge
upon our federal congress the impor-
tance of creating a department of min
ing coordinate with the department
of agriculture ts'-
A resolution was adopted favoring
the enactment of a law by congress

Pardee of California to prevent mining

One church in Los AnoeIes

The action taken in San Jose yester-
day will not affect the one Cumberland
Presbyterian church in Los Angeles, as
that organization united with the gen
eral Presbyterian church of it's own
accord before the general union was
perfected.
Rev. w. D. Landis, the pastor. at
tended the synod at Mountain View and
is now attending the synod of the
Presbyterian church in San Rafael.
The Cumberland church was organ
lied about 100 years ago in the south.
There has always been more or less
feeling between the southern and north
ern branches, and comparatively few
OF the 250,000 members of the Cumber-
land church have protested against
union.
Several members of the local church
tried to restrain the local union with a
lawsuit, but this was not upheld by
the court, and the same attitude is ex-
pected by local Presbyterians to be
carried out in the synodical action.

A. C. Harper's formal announcement
that he had decided to enter the race
for the Democratic nomination for
mayor was made in an informal manner
at gathering of number of political
friends at the rooms of the Democratic
league.
Mr. Harper's announcement was made
before the fact had become known that
Mr. Smith had formally declared him
self out OF the race for the Republican n
nomination for the same office to which
Mr. Harper aspires.
"All that i can say is that l am out
for the nomination for mayor" said
Mr. Harper. "and feel confident that

Mr.. Cromwell charged that although

had acted in bad faith by practically
repudiating the agreement in the re-
fusal to vote his proxies for Mr.. De
Forest and voting them for a nominee
