WELL FROM EARTHQUAKE.

It has just been discovered that the upheaval Of April IS did funny things to the wells in the courtyard at the rear of the San Francisco mint. For years prior to April IS these had been ordinary. well behaved wells, yield ing water plentifully when steam pump vas employed. But now they arc spouting artesian wells. from which a steady stream of water flows when no pumping is done This was discovered yesterday when the pump was taken out for repairs. the court yard being flooded within a short time.
 The wells were bored many years ago. and are about 115 feet in depth. There was apparently a subterranean connection between them for the pumping of water from one lowered inc water in the other Normally the water was within thirty feet ot the surface. and that was the condition when the pump was taken out last March. Yesterday. for the first time since March. the pumps were again removed. when it was discovered that the water flowed freely-San Fran cisco Chronicle.

Of immense interest to the whole south arc the charges that have been flied with the postoffice department by Representative Livingston Of Georgia and Harvic Jordan of the Southern Cotton Growers assocla- ton. alleging gross fraud on the part of the New York Cotton exchange and asking that the exchange he eX- cluded from the mail like any com- mon patent medicine swindlcr or green goods man, says Washington writer. The charges declare that the New York Cotton exchange has de- generated from legitimate business institution into common gambling concern 10 the immense detrimcnt of the cotton interests of the whole south. It is charged that tho quota tions on the exchange rule from 8 to SS per bale lower than the actual price of cotton in the southern fields and that the quotations sent out from New York every day are as a rule sixteen points lower than the actual price of the corresponding grades of cotton. The charges of fraud have been turned over. to Judge Goodwin of the legal department, and inspec- tors will he put on the case with or dcrs to investigate it on its merits and see whether or not. a fraud order should be issued against the exchange debarring it from the use of the mail in transaction of business.

Senator Bailey of Texas is not the only senator having his troubles. The justly famous Reed Smooth Of Utah. an apostle of the Mormon church. is still holding his seat upon su6ferance. To him all such issues as the Browns vile affair that take up much time of the senate, are very much like stay of execution to a condemned man. Less than sixty days remain of this session. Although Senator Dubois who has been leading the fight in ,he northwest against the Mormon hier- archy. which has become politically omnipotent in at least four states. will continue his effort to cxpel Shoot. there is scarcely a chance of success in so brief time. Shoots term expires in 1909 so that if he evades action for the remainder of this congress he will practically serve all but a few few months of his term even though the 60th congress should expel him.

PLEDGE TO HIGHWAYMEN.
Lord Stanhope's "Loan" Foundation
 of London Mugnate's Wealth.

The fourth Earl Stanhope, when on his homeward way late one dafk night, was held up by the most gen tiemanly of highwaymen, who pre- ferred his request for money or me nobleman's life in quite the incest way. It happened that Lord stan hone had not any money with hlm and was disinclined to yield the all formative.
 Your watch. then," suggested the gentleman at the opposite end of the pistol. That watch. the earl ex- plained, was dear to him. He valued it at a hundred guineas. and would not surrender it. What I will do. he said, lis to bring and deposit in this tree the worth of the watch m money. and you can call and get 1t tomorrow night"
 Done, m' lord" said the highway man.
 The law knew nothing about this arrangement. and the earl did as he had promised. He placed the hun dred guineas where the highwayman might at his leisure collect 1t. And there. so far as he knew, the matter ended. Years afterward he attended a great banquet in the city. and found himself pleasantly entertained by an extremely we'll known man. whose signature was good for a sum of sev. eral figures. Next day came to Lord StaphoDe letter enclosing the sum of 100 guineas. Accompanying Ii was a note begging his acceptance ol loan granted some years previously to the man who now forwarded 1t. The loan. said the letter. had en. abled the sender to gain new starr
 in life. to make a fortune and tt
 renew acquaintance at dinner on the previous night with his lordship. The city magnste and the highwayman o' earlier days were one and the same i-London Evening Standard.

WEDNESDAY, JAN 9, 1907.

Very satisfactory progress was re- ported at the last monthly meeting of the executive council of the Irish International exhibition which opens in Dublin May 1st. The financial statement showed that S255.000 has been spent on account of buildings. S1o,5OO for rent and taxes. and S55,- GOO for all other purposes. The ex- penditures are good barometer of the activity shown in preparing for the great exhibition which will open it's doors at Herbert park in the spring. The guarantee fund of near ly million dollars leaves an ample margin for future work in addition to the expenditures already made.

POLICE GUARD ALL WAGONS
Effort to Break Ice Drivers Strike at
=s New, York.

New York, July Police reserves
were called to quell several street dis
orders when the American Ice COM
pany made an effort to break the strike
of the delivery wagon drivers. When
two wagons driven by strikebreakers
drove from the company's pier on the
East river a crowd of men set upon
the drivers, using clubs and bricks.
The police charged the crowd, which
finally fell back. Two policemen were
then assigned to each wagon. More
trouble occurred on Avenue G, when
a score Of men set upon driver, but
were beaten off by the police One
hundred and fifty police reserves have
been detailed to prevent disorder aris-
ing at the company's pier, where the
ice is discharged from the boats.
The ice company declares that the
strike Is broken and that it can en-
ploy all the men needed to fill posi-
lions of the strikers. The company
says there Is not a sign of an ice fam

HIS MIND UNBALANCED;
WORRIED over BUSINESS
John Fitzgerald Brought from Baudette
by Sheriff BaiIey.-Hearing Is
Postponed.

John Fitzgerald, business man
of Baudette, was brought to this city
last night by Sheriff Thomas Bailey
and was brought before Judge of
Probate Clark. for examination as to
his sanity.
1t was decided to adjourn final
action on his case for thirty days, in
order that developments may be
watched.
Fitzgerald has been worrying for
some time over financial affairs to
such an extent that his mind is un.
balanced, to considerable degree.
The delay in his case was taken in
order to note whether his mind be-
comes affected to the extent that ii
will be necessary to send him to the
asylum, in which case he will be
committed.
In the meantime, Fitzgerald will
be kept at the county Door farm.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT ACTS
Nonunion Men Removing New Works
Accumulated Garbage.

New York, July Scores of carts
manned by nonunion men and volun-
teers from the health department
have tackled the mounds of garbage
and refuse that has accumulated in
the streets since the strike of the
city's drivers began several days ago.
Conditions in some parts of the East
Side can be imagined when it is said
that the accumulations have actually
made streets impossible. The air is
so befouled that residents have had
to keep their windows closed, a condi-
ton that adds to the discomfort in
the prevailing hot spell. Several doc
tors who have visited the districts
where conditions are the worst say
that a great deal Of sickness and many
deaths must necessarily follow as a
consequence Of this disastrous strike.
The health department, which has
been called upon by the mayor in this
emergency to prevent pestilence, is
moving with vigor. DR.. Walter Ben
sci, who has been put in charge Of the
work with full power, personally di-
rected the onslaught on the garbage
heaps. - -.,- T. 81 ID

JAPS WILL RE- 1A[|A7
Plan to Boycott American Goods
Being Seriously Considered.
DANGER POINT NEAR AT HAND.
Toxic Dispatch Says Although War Is
. Not Dreamed Of the Mutual Feel
Ing Of Good Will and Friendship Is
Likely to Be AIienated.

Toxic, July THE impression Is
growing here that the anti-Japanese
feeling and demonstrations In San
Francisco are the outcome of a deeply
laid plan based upon racial hatred and
tho recent developments apparently
support this impression. The news.
papers here which had special corre-
spondents of American nationality in
San Francisco have ceased to receive
news from them. No explanation was
offered for the dlsoontinuance Of news
dispatches, but the impression here is
that pressure was brought to bear
upon the correspondents in San Fran
cisco not to serve the Japanese papers.
The. fear Is expressed that the danger
point will soon be reached. Although
war is not dreamed of the mutual
feelings Of good will and friendship
will be seriously alienated if prompt
measures are not taken to allay the
general indignation Lere against the
latest discrimination in San Fran
cisco, which, according to Japanese
contention, is a fragrant violation Of
treaty rights.
p Apparently certain measures OF re-
taliation are seriously being contem-
plated by influential men in political
and business circles. Just what action
will be taken has not yet developed,
but boycott against American goods,
it is believed, will certainly be one Of
the steps taken.

DEATH OF G0THEHUE
PROBABLY AN ACCIDENT
Resident Of North Country Authority for
Statement that G0thehue Was
Not Murdered.

Sheriff Thomas Bailey, who came
in last night from Baudette country,
states that he was informed by a
man living near Baudette, that it
was generally considered that the
reported murder of Peter Gothehue
was an accident, and that Deputy
Coroner Lahr would so find when he
arrived at Baudette.
From the reports that were sent
to County Attorney Funkley, the
inference was naturally drawn
that a murder had been committed.
Mr.. Lair should have reached
Baudette today, and his official re.
port on the case will probably be
received tomorrow.
