cURzoN RENTERS POLITICS.
Accepts Nomination for Irish Seat
in House Of Lords.

LONDON, December 30.-Lord Curzon
of Kedleston, chancellor of Oxford Uni
versity, has agreed to allow himself to be
nominated for the vacancy among the rep
resentative peers of Ireland, caused by
the death Of Lord Kilmaine.
In accepting the nomination, which was
offered him by a number of members of
the Irish peerage, Lord Cur1on said that
when the peerage was conferred upon him
1t was with view to his returning to the
house OF commons, but the strain of his
work in India had proved too much for
his strength, and the opinion of his
medical advisers had driven him reluctant
ly to the conclusion that he cannot re-
enter that house.
Unfortunately, he said. he was debarred
from entering the house of lords by the
ordinary channels through the refusal of
the premier to allow him to take his
place with the other ex-viceroys of India
on the benches of the upper house, SO
that he would be pleased to take the OPP
portunity to re-enter public life by the
only means now open to him, namely, as
a representative Irish peer.
The wrfts OF election have already been
issued and the votes must be returned BY
January 20.
All the unionist papers welcome the re-
turn of Lord Curzon to active political
life but 1t is feared that his hea. th will

lain. or possibly the premiership. for
which he was slated by many members
who were dissatisfied with Balfour's at
titude with regard to tariff reform.
Lord Curzons reference to Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman's refusal to allow
him to enter the house of lords through
the ordinary channels leads to the pre-
sumption that upon his retirement from
the office Of viceroy of India he init
mated to the premier that as an ex
viceroy he should be made an English
peer. :

CRATER IN DESERT.
Prof. Merrill's Study Of Its Origin
and Report.

Merrill of the United States National Mu-

peculiar. large crater-form depression in
the desert near Canyon Diablo Arz 1t
Is nearly three-quarters of a mile across
and about six hundred feet deep. Since
1t was brought to the notice of men Of
science this hole has caused much discus
sion, some believing it to be an extinct
volcano and others to be the record Of the
impact of a huge meteor which struck
the earth centuries ago.
In speaking of his conclusions Prof
Merrill leans toward the meteor theory
The Greater he states, could not
have been formed by any volcanic action,
for all the phenomena have a superficial
nature. Some three hundred feet of over
lying limestone and five hundred feet of
sandstone have been thoroughly shattered
as though by some powerful blow, and
the quartz particles in the sandstone in
part fused. indicating a very high degree
of heat. Underlying sandstone, however
Is entirely unchanged. This, of course,
crater by any deep-seated agency, and l
have been forced to consider an origin by
impact of stellar body.
An exhaustive study of known me-
teOrlc 1ailS SHOWS that there Is no record
Of any fall comparable with this, the
largest known meteorites, such as that
brought by Commander Peary from Cape
York, Greenland. or the enormous irons
from Oregon. having fallen with so little
force as to scarcely bury themselves. The
nearest approach to the Canyon Diablo
occurrence happened at Knyahinya, Hun
gary. in 1866. when 66O-pound stone
penetrated the ground to depth Of
eleven feet
mo meteoric mass of sufficient size to
have made this enormous crater has been
brought to light, but there still remains
the possibility of it's having become en-
tirely dissipated through the heat devel-
cped by its impact while travelling at a
speed of many miles second
In his report on the Investigation; now
in press, Prof. Merrill goes very thor
oughly into details. He has secured many
specimens OF the meteoric irons and their
associations from the locality which are

SMALL MAKES STATEMENT
President of Telegraphers' Union
Will Hold Conference With
Leaders in Chicago.

Oakland, Cal, July 11.-After a meet
ing of the telegraphers in Sunset Hall
West Oakland, this morning. President
Small gave out the following statement:
Il expect to leave Oakland within
the next fOrty-eight hours for Chicago.
where / will hold a conference with
prominent leaders on next Tuesday, and
recommend that our executive board
meet in that city on that day. The
strike in San Francisco and Oakland
will continue. The fact of the matter
is, there are not enough telegraphers to
fill the positions, and there is no worry
about strike breakers.
The talk about calling another strike
is misleading, and the insinuatiOn that
there exists friction between the Of
ficers of the union is nonsense. The te-
legraphers everywhere desire an adjust
ment of the difficulties once for all, and
they want it soon. We have come to a
place where we must assert our rights

graphic world in the near future, one

COAL FAMINE IN SUMMER
People of Southern Idaho Willing to

Especial to The Herald.)

Boise, Ida, July 1Z-Alarmed at the
prospect of a severe coal famine during
the coming winter, the directors of the
Commercial club have taken steps TO
learn exactly what the conditions are and
what may be done to avoid suffering.
They have appointed NJ. Alexander as a
committee of one to visit the coal min
ing districts of Wyoming and learn the
prospect of a supply being mined. He
will also go to Salt Lake to endeavor
to secure a rate on anthracite coal from
the east that will place it within reach.
Coal is so scarce throughout the south
ern part of Idaho that a supply for use
even during the warm season cannot be
secured. 1t was promised that the peo-
pie would be given an opportunity to
store coal during the summer, but they
are hustling to get enough to keep the
cooking stoves going. In this city the
fire department has been unable to Sc
cure a car for its purposes.

BOxTON NOT THE
ONLY ONE BRIBEO
Heney Is Trying to Introduce
Evidence" of Similar Of
lenses at Glass Trial.

San Francisco, July 1.-THE trial OF
Louis Glass for bribery reached a cru
cial stage today, when the prosecution
made its first attempt to begin the in
PRODUCTION of the testimony of ten or
more supervisors other than BoXton,
that their votes were bought by Theo-
dore V. Halsey, acting under direction
of Vice President Glass of the Pacific
States Telephone company. Such teS-
timony is called evidence of similar
offenses," and it is often admitted in
criminal trials for the purpose Of
showing corrupt intent on the part
of a defendant in the commission of
the act for which he is being tried.
Glass at the present time is being tried
for the bribery of Boxton.
The prosecution contends that it has
the right to lay before the jury the in
ference of his guilt contained in the
proof of his having bribed other super
visoTs, like BoxtOn, against the grant
ing of a rival franchise to the Home
Telephone company The defense de-
MES this right, mainly on the ground
that the state is not privileged to prove
other crimes in an effort to establish
the crime on trial.
The argument of this point, conced-
ed to be of even more than it's orig
inal Importance since the detection of
Second Vice President thinner from
the ranks of the prosecutions wit
nesses, occupied the last two hours of
the afternoon session, and was in
progress at adjournment The jury
was excused at the commencement of
the argument and were taken by bail
ifs TO a park near the Temple Israel,
later to be returned to their quarters
at the Fairmont hotel.
