Events at Vienna, Va.
Special Correspondence OF The Star.


VIENNA, Va. April 20. 1907.
With the democratic primary less than
two months off. the work of the various
candidates for congressional honors is be-
ginning to show results. Instructions were
recently sent out by some of the managers
to their lieutenants to take poll of their
territory and forward the reports as soon
possible 1t is said these reports will
show just how the vote stands, thus giving
idea of the relative strength of each.
Considerable feeling has been engendered
by the announcement that prominent out
side speakers are to be brought into the
district. Some OF the voters say this action
is entirely unnecessary during the primary
fight; that each candidate should rely upon
his own individuality. What effect national
orators may have upon the electorate is
difficult to predict. 1t is generally admitted
that the bulk of the future work is to be
concentrated in alexandria city, Loudoun,
Fauquier, Fairfax. Culpeper and Prince
William counties. The vote in the territory
mentioned amounts to more than three
fourths of the entire district.
Strong efforts are being made to register
those residents who have heretofore for
various reasons refrained from exercising
their constitutional rights, and it is as
serted that from 800 to 1000 additional
voters will participate in the election June
10
The delegateship fight is beginning to
arouse as much interest as the congress
Sional strife. 1t is probable the primary
will be set for June 49, thus giving an OPP
portunity to vote for both tickets-congres-
sional and legislative-the same day.
Cars are expected to run over the new
spur of the Falls Church road from Claren-
don to 18th street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. by the LIST of May. The roadbed is
practically completed. and the new cars
which We're recently received are being
equipped with machinery for the under

The Military Defenses.

The Earl of Elgin, secretary of state for
the colonies, referring to the matter of
military defense, outlined the general prin-
ciples of an imperial military organization,
and the premiers concurred in his views.
The premiers then explained the defense
organizations of their respective colonies,
and the extent to which The general or
ganization could be put into practice. The
draft of a resolution creating a general
staff for the empire was tabled. 1t was
resolved that the colonies be authorized
to refer to the committee of imperial de-
Tense for advice on local questions in
which expert assistance was desirable.
Sir Robert Bond, the premier of New
foundland, attended the conference for the
first time today. He was greeted cor

Apparently in response for greater pub
licity, the colonial Office tonight issued a
lengthy summary of the proceedings of the
week This summary covers mainly the
discussions that preceded the adoption OF
the resolutions of today. The only striking
feature communicated was the objection OF
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the premier of Can
ada, and Gen. Botha, premier of the Trans
vaal, to designating the conference I'M
perial council" Gen. Botha thought the
adoption of the word council might be an
infraction upon the rights of the RESPONSE
BILE government, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier
suggested the title imperial conference
which was adopted. All agreed that the
conference should be consultative and ad-
visory only. while the Earl of Elgir
clinched matters by declaring that estab-
lishment of a body with an independent
status of authority would not be acceptable
to his majesty's government.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, premier
of the united kingdom, gave a private
dinner to the colonial premiers at Downing
street tonight. Almost all the members o.
the cabinet and number of other promi
nent persons, including Ambassador White

Biz Fire at Durango.

Durango.-About o'clock Wednes-
day morning Durango was visited by
the most disastrous fire 1t has known
since the one that practically destroyed

SCI 900.
The fire started in the basement at
the rear Of ]. STEMS store in the build
ing recently acquired from the Will
liams estate by Henderson & LOTUS.
The stock of STEMS clothing store, val
ued at 100000, was entirely destroyed.
1t was insured for 100000. The second
floor was occupied exclusively by Of
fees.
The law firm of Wilson & McCloskey
lost its entire library as well AS all

Beet Contracts for Next Year.

Denver-A Greeley dispatch says
that contracts for growing beets for
the season of 1908 for the Great Wes-
tern Sugar Company are now being
signed. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to fix the acreage in the Greeley,
Eaton and Windsor district at 10000
acres. The new contracts are at prac-
tically the same prices as the old, SIS a
ton fiat rate, $3.50 ton for the sliced
crop and $4.75 ton fiat when the
grower refuses to silo one-fourth of
his crop.
There will be one important change
in the new contract The grower will
be paid twice a month for beets de-
livered, instead Of only once, as is now
the case. Manager Granger says this
has been the best year in the history
of the industry here. The tonnage is
better, the sugar contents of the beets
more satisfactory, the weather propl'
tious and the factories able to reach
their full capacity, nearly 700 tons 3
day each. Manager Granger estimated
the value of the beet crop in the
Greeley district this year at 81, 500, 900
representing 100000 tons of beets and
10000 tons of sugar.

TROOPS FOR eoLDFIELD.
Held In Readiness to Respond to Call
of Governor Sparks.

Washington.-Presi Roosevelt
has issued orders to have federal
troops held in readiness to aid In re-
storing order at Goldfield, Nevada.
This action was taken upon represen-
tation from Governor Sparks of that
state that the miners at Goldfield are
in revolt and riot Nevada is the one
state in the Union which has no state
militia. Governor Sparks does not
deem the situation such as to justify
federal interference, but as one likely
at any time to get beyond his ability
to control. The nearest federal mill
itary base is at San Francisco.
A Goldfield. Nevada, dispatch says,
The executive committee of the Mine
Owners Association of Goldfield We'd
nesday night received assurances
from Governor Sparks that the had
called upon Washington requesting
that government troops be held in
readiness for use in the Nevada min
ing camps, and that garrison Of reg
ulars be established at Goldfield. There
is nothing in the immediate situation
to require the Intervention of troops.
The town is as quiet as usual. But
1t is feared by the mine owners that
trouble is brewing and that overt acts
might be committed at any time.
Money has been scarce in Goldfield,
two Of the banks closed end cashiers
checks resorted to by the third oank,
and as all the mines have been shut
down for several days the pinch of pow
erty is being felt by miners, many of
whom are improvident, living from
hand to mouth.
Holdups and burglaries have been
frequent of late. attributable to this
fact, and there is general feeling of
unrest, which the mine owners fear is
likely to break out into a general riot
before long. 1t Is probationary rea.
sons more than because of an acute
situation that has impelled the call
for troops.

RoosEvELTs $4,000 PHOTO.

1t Shows Him Taking Fence on a
Hunter-has Been Copied Widely.
The most widely published and best
known photograph in existence is said
to be that of President Roosevelt tax
ing a fence on his favorite hunter, says
the New York Sun. This has been
printed in almost every paper and mag
azine In the world which uses half
tones, and the sales from it have al
ready amounted to more than $4,000,
making it the most profitable photo
graph ever taken.
Nearly 5000 copies have been signed
by the President to be used as special
gifts, and the demand for it wherever
it has been placed on sale has been
steady during the three and a half
years since it was made.
1t was made with a shutter that
opened and closed in one fifteen-hun-
dredth part of second. The President,
accompanied by an orderly, left the
cabinet meeting one morning and join
ed the photographer at Chevy Chase in
the suburbs of Washington. 1t was
necessary for the President to force his
horse over the fence a dozen times be-
fore a successful picture was taken.
President Roosevelt is probably the
most photographed man in the world,
with the possible exception of Emperor
William, and photographers assert I'M
reservedly that he is most difficult to
pose He is nervous and is often
snapped in what might seem a hit or
miss style, but every picture ever taken
of him is thoroughly characteristic.
