 crats in public life who have been saying all along that the President would not ron the third time. l believe he has too much knowledge of history to run the risk or threatening republican institutions with perpetuity of tenure in the Presidency l also thought he was a man of so much pride that even if he had come to regret his after-election utterances he would still stand to his word. l think the third.term issue would have made MT.

 Former democratic candidate for Vice President, Henry c. Davis of West Nlf- ginia said

 Chairman Taggart of the national dein- ocratic committee said:
 "I think the public made mistake in compelling President Roosevelt to speak twice before he could make himself be- lieved It shows that he is the kind or man l thought he was.

No, sir, the greatest President that ever lived upon this earth that was ever inaugurated in this capitol, in my judgment. was old Blue Jeans, Old Hickory Jackson who rode his horse to the White House dressed in a suit of blue jeans" He denounced stock gambling and said he would do away with gambling in cot ton, grain and the necessities of life'' As he proceeded he showed great emo tion, and his voice trembled. His words rang with resounding effect throughout the chamber.
 Speaking of the annual appropriations for the expenses of the government amounting to S9O0,00O0o0, he turned to Senator Beveridge and added: Pile it upon this floor and let my good looking young friend the Senator from Indiana. start to count it. He would be as old as Methuselah before he could count half of it."
 The senator detailed appropriations made for maintaining the White House.
 And yet" he continued. President Roosevelt has but five children at home'
 The inadvertence of speech brought laughter from all parts of the chamber

 This panic was started by these trust magnates and stock gamblers in order that they might take from the cotton producers half of the,r property"
 'I am for the under dog, Senator Me Laurn,' he said addressing the Senator from Mississippi, who sat before him.
 Whenever you hear of dog fight, just say Jeff Davis is for the under dog" He read some statistics on the Standard oil, and stepping out into the center aisle stamped his foot and said
 ''The Standard Oil is the oldest trust of the country. It is the trust that has all the paraphernala and the ear marks of q trust. I dislike Standard Oi l hate the smell of coal oil. Petroleum makes me sick. Oh. sir. something ought to be done to curtail the great power of this monstrous trust-John D. Rockefeller trust-the great Standard oil trust"

.N------->- President to move the troops of the army to one point or another at his own will and, therefore, to send troops from Cali forna into Navada but the question might arise at once as to his authority to use troops now in Goldfeld, should he decided to do so, for Congress has strict ly limited the functions of the regular army in times of peace Only recently, in connection with the balloon races st. -ting in St. Louis. it was found that United States troops had been Illegally employed there and the war department officials are now on their guard to pre- vent the employment of the regular army in an unauthorized manner.

 Posse Comitatus.
 In 1887 when party feeling ran high, Congress ena cted the famous posse com tatus act, the purpose in which was to prevent in the first place the use of the United States troops at the polls in the southern states. That act. under heavy penalty, prohibited the employment of any part of the army of the United States as posse comitatus for the purpose of executing law in such cases and other circumstances as such employ ment of said force may be expressly authorized by the act of Congress. In view of the fact that the regular troops have been employed since 1878 at many critical times and places where public passion was highly inflamed. notably in the famous Occur DAlene mining troubles. which have been referred to as a precedent for governmental actlon III cojd6eld. officers of the regular army arc proud of the fact that not one of them has so far been legally declared guilty of any infraction of the posse comitatus act. Hence, their desire to make sure that the employment of the troops at Goldfeld. if desired. shall be entirely within the limits of the law.

RAILS CAUSE WRECKS.
Railway Officials criticise Product of
 Steel Trust.

CHICAGO, April 24.-Bad steel rails are causing many disastrous wrecks on American railways, according to a statement made today by some of the most prominent railway operating of ficials of the United States who are in Chicago attending the spring meeting of the American Railway Association. The committee which has been making investigations into the matter has come to the conclusion that an ex- ceedingiy dangerous percentage of the steel rails manufactursd today have latent flaws which cause them to snap and break under the impact of fast trains.
 Among the reports which have been prepared for presentation to the asso- citation is a report recommending a committee be appointed to take up the question of better steel rails with the American manufacturers in an effort to improve the quality of the material.

The fire brought out large throngs of spec tators and there were several thou sand people on the banks of the creek watching the work of the department. A residence owned by Eugene Mid dleton was s"orched by the flames, but a stream of water on the house put it out of danger.
 The fire boys deserve a world of credit for the good work they did last night, Billy Winters, the owner of the Cactus hotel building, which was threatened with other nearby build. ings, showed his appreciation by pre- -senting Pioneer Hose with s20 and all the refreshments they could get away with, all of which was properly appreciated. The loss incurred by Messrs Parker and Caryill could not be learned last night, nor the amount of insurance they carried on the building and contents.
 The fire of last night was the first of any consequence since the de. stTuction of the railroad shops ana round house on the morning of Octo Der z last The volunteer department will soon be better equipped to fight conflagrations, as the city has order ed two chemical engines and double the amount of hose now in the reels

GLOBE. April 24.-The absence of wind and the excellent york of the fine department saved Globe from a disastrous conflagration early last evening. Had the high wind of the afternoon not subsided at night. a large portion of the city would un- doubtedfy have been destroyed by the fire which devoured the large black smith shop adjoining the Barclay & Higdon livery stable on lower Broad street at the edge of Pinal creek. The building was owned by Knight Park CT, who recently sold his blacksmith business to George ". CarviIl.
 The fire was discovered shortly af- ter 8 o'clock, but it had gained such hesdway that the entire building was mass of flames by the time an alarm could be sounded Pioneer House No. 1 with Captain Bert Pratt and Foreman s. c. Saylor in the van, made record time to the scene and soon had two streams on the burning building. Another stream furnished by hose from the livery stable also aided. For time it looked as though nothing could save the stable and cor ral and all of the horses were turned loose.

INSURANCE MURDERERSARE
 NEARING END
Richardson, Mason and Hahe Denied a Rehearingi Cases Now Go to Supreme Court of Mexico for Final Judgment,

CHIHUAHUA, April 24.-Judge Ca macho, of the Federal District court at Juarez, has denied the "ampara" asked by Richardson, Mason and DT. c. s. Harle who are in prison here under sentence of the State Supreme court to be shot for the alleged mur- der of two men, Mitchell and Devers. in this city for the insurance in the New York Life Insurance company on the lives of the deceased. The "ampara" will go to the Federal Su- preme court in Mexico City for final review This will be the last court resort of the prisoners and if this court denied the "ampara" they will have no other hope of relief from the death sentence except the clemency of the governor who can commute the sentence but cannot pardon.
 The "ampara" is in the natur eof a writ to stop proceedings under sen tence of .he state court and raising the constitutional right of the ac- cused men.
 The crime with which these men are charged was the most heinous in the annals of life insurance. The aggregate amount on the lives of Devers and Mitchell was $25,OOO gold and it is claimed that Richardson and Mason collected it. Mitchell was brother of the man called Mason and of Richardson's wife. It is claimed that Mitchell was given strychnine, and that Devers, who was an old drunkard, was poisoned with mercury. Dr. Harle was at the time an examining physician here for the New York Life and is accused of being an accomplice of Richardson and Mason.
 The full particulars of the crime have been published repeatedly and are we'll known.
