Palma's Power Increased.

Havana.-The extra session of Con-
gress called by President Palma com
pleted at one setting the business for
which it was summoned, namely, the
granting to President Palma of the
fullest powers not already constitu
tionally provided for carrying on the
war, including the right to appropr.-
ate any public funds for war purposes,
revoking appropriations voted at the
preceding session of Congress in order
to permit the diversion of the moneys
involved to prosecution of the war, and
authorizing increase of the rural
guards to 10000 and the artillery to
1000 men. This trebles the former
force OF rural guards and doubtless the

What undoubtedly is the most I'M
portant deal ever closed between Ani-

tion and another company has been
closed in Denver. Through this deal.
which represents an expenditure OF
At least $1,0o0.000. the smelter trust
has contracted with the Huntington
Heberline company Of New York. for
the installation Of automatic. self-feed-
irg furnices for all its plants in Colo
rado and several in other states. Five
smelters in Colorado will be dis
mantled and equipped with the i'm
proved apparatus. Probably not less
than . year will be required for this
work. 1t will be carried on in such
q way as not to seriously impair the
operation of the smelters under pres
ent methods.
When the new process furnaces
have been installed there will be a
tremendous increase in the capacity
of the smslters. Under present condi-
tions. which necessitate the use of
many men to feed the furnaces. ca
pacity of each smelter is necessarily
limited. With the automatic appara-
tus. additional furnices may be built
as seems necessary and the capacity
of each plant greatly increased.
II is stated that the nature Of the
ores shipped to the smelters has made
necessary some changes such as has
been determined upon. The excess OF
sulphide ores over the other kinds has
presented problem difficult Of solu-
tion, but with the new furnaces will
solve, according to experts who ihves-
tigated them in operation in Montana
before the deal was closed. Repre-
sentatives of the eastern company ar
rived in Denver yesterday to super
wise the installation Of the furnaces
and the work will commence soon.

STEWART IS OUT
REFUSES TO MAKE THE RACE
FOR GOVERNOR.
OPPOSED TO JUDGE eABBERr
The Committee on Vacancies May Fill
the Piace-MeDonaId Swink
and Others Suggested.

Denver, Colo. Sept. IT, 1906.
Hon. John F. Vivian, Chairman Repub-
lican State Central Committee,
Denver, Colorado.
Dear Sir-I beg to inform you that
have forwarded to the secretary of
state my .teclination of the nomination
of the office of governor recently tell
dered me by the Republican state con-
vention.
l very deeply regret that sudden
and severe attack of illness prevented,
under direction of my physician, the
report of the work of the convention
being brought to my attention prior to
its final adjournment on Saturday last.
later action of the convention,
however, makes it quite impossible for
me to render to the state and to the
party the service which ! had conf
IDENTIFY hoped to perform in the COM
ing campaign.
l wish to express through you to
the Rpublicans of the state my sincere
appreciation of the honor conferred by
my nomination and of the many per-
sonal assurances of regard, and to as
sure you that my efforts for the sue
cess of the party and its principles will
be in no way relaxed.
Very respectfully yours,
PHILIP B. STEWART.
The Republican says:
This official announcement from Mr..
Stewart had been expected ever since
the Republican state convention made
Its nominations for the Supreme Court
bench. 1t is understood that Mr..
Stewards real reason for withdrawal
was the nomination of Justice w. II.
Gabbert. Mr.. Stewart had never sat
isfied himself that Justice Gabbert
should be on the ticket.
For several days previous to the
convention Mr.. Stewart was confined
to his rooms by illness. Friday night
he suffered great pain and on Saturday
he was unable to leave his bed. That
night he was informed of the compile
tion of the ticket and made up his
mind regarding his course. He had
told his friends at the beginning that
he did not expect to be a candidate un-
less he could have his way in regard to
the Supreme Court nomination. His
illness at critical moment brought
about all the subsequent misunder-
standing and trouble.
The state convention appointed John
F. Vivian. Franklin E. Brooks and
George Stidger as a committee to fill
vacancies. 1t was not expected that
there would be a vacancy in the nomi-
nation for such an important Office as
governor, but it is now the belief that
on these three men will fall the impor-
tant duty of selecting Mr.. Stewards
successor on the ticket.
Gov. Jesse F. Mcdonald, who an
nounced that he would not be candi-
date month ago. has been chosen
by almost unanimous voice of all the
leaders who could be found In Denver;
but there is no authority for stating
that he would accept the nomination.
On Friday and Saturday the conven-
tion took every opportunity to demon
.strate it's good opinion Of the present
executive and it's appreciation of his
services, still Governor Mcdonald is
anxious to retire and has no idea of be-
ing candidate.
Friends of George w. Swink believe
that he should be given the place.

STRUCK BY STREET CAR.
w. H. Pickett's Injuries at Des Moines
Nav Be Fatal,

Des Moines, April 14.-In street
car accident here which may prove ia
tai, w. H. Pickett, a student at the
G. G. G. College, was the victim. 1t is
feared that he sustained a fracture of
the skull, as he has been unconscious
ever since the accident. He was
mounted on bicycle and attempted to
cross the track as the car was rapidly
approaching, when his wheel either
slipped or he miscalculated the distance
and the car struck him, knocking him
into a heap on the pavement. His
head struck and he became uncon-
scious at once. 1t is not thought that
any blame will be attached to the
street car employees as the passengers
say that the motornnan made every ef-
fort to stop his car, but an investi-
cation may be made as to the rate OF
speed at which the car was running.
Pickett's home is at Reinbeck, and
his mother was notified of the accident
and arrived in the city last evening.
He regained consciousness for short
time and recognized her soon after her
arrival but his condition is still con-
sidered serious.

CASTRO RESIGNS AS RULER.
President Of Venezuela Seeks Rest OF
Private Life for Time.

New York, April 1.-THE Venezuelan
consul general here Carlos b. Figuer-
edo. got word from Caracas yesterday
by cable that President Castro OF ven
! eZuela had resigned on Monday tenn
porarily. Mr.. Fgueredo said:
II have just received cablegran
from Gen. Juan Vincente Gomez, vice
president of Venezuela, that he has be-
come president General Castro desires
| TO retire to a restful private life fol-
some time. owing to the strenuous
work which his position exacts and
| which he has so successfully carried or
for years. The ceremony took place al
p. m. on Monday in the parlor of the
secretary general in the presence o.
the executive the ministers, and the
president, and members of the supreme
and the higher courts.
Sees Peace for Republic.
The proclamation made by President
Castro during the ceremony may De
briefly summarized as follows:
Peace is assured to the entire re-
public, the international situation OF
| the government is clear as all pending
questions either will be amicably ar
ranged or settled by arbitration. Cen
eral Castro urges all Venezuelans to
| support the government presided over
| by General Gomez and adds that
should his temporary separation bring
harmony and good will to the country,
he willingly would make his retirement
permanent if necessary. The minis
tiers and governors have presented their
designations, as is usual, so as to leave
the new president at liberty to select
his colaborators."
Mr.. Figueredo added last night that
! President Castro's resignation meant
merely that he is going to take brief
vacation He probably would be out
out of office for three months, resting
in his home near Caracas. In his alb
sence, though, an entirely new cabinet
will be selected. In the opinion of Mr..
Figueredo the temporary resignation
will have no important effect on Vene-
zuela's relations with other countries.
Not His First Resignation.
President Castro resigned in 1903,
but congress decided not to accept his
resignation, and he remained That
was soon after England Germany and
Italy had blockaded the ports of Vene-
zuela in enforcing their demands that
claims held by these countries against
| Venezuela should be satisfied. 1t was
said that Castro's resignation was due
chiefly to statements spread broadcast
by the revolutionists that the president
was the only barrier to the re-estab-.
lishment of peace.
Castro has been president since 1899,
when he descended upon Caracas with
band of faithful mountaineers and
overthrow Andrade. There has been
something doing most of the time since
! Castro got control of the government.
