it seems that most of this must have

Company officials suggest an explana-
tion in the increased weight and speed

added pressure and especially the in

ground strains and must undoubtedly
affect pipes carrying gas. Serious pos

 When the case was called only one State witness was in court and Judge Clarke announced that the case would stand continued until the witnesses could be brought Into court.

DEPLORED BY PATTERSON.

 Difficulty.


 Difficulty.
 Memphis. Tenn. Nov. 10.-A Nash vile dispatch quotes Governor Patter . son as follows with regard to the kill ing of Senator Edward w. Carmack. who was shot and instantly killed In a street duel in that city late yester- day.
 T deeply deplore the unfortunate tragedy. I saw both young MT. Cooper and his father in the morning and mo- thing occurred to cause me to suppose any altercation would take place with Senator Carmack or anyone else. Colo nel Cooper has been very much ag- erieved at the use of his name by Sena- tor Carmack and learned that he had prepared a note to send Senator Car mack demanding that in future his name be not used in editorials. as he was a mere private citizen and should not be subject to public attack or ridl- cule.
 "I strongly advised against the note as did his son, Robin Cooper. and also MT. Bradford, believing 1t might cause a difficulty and urged him to take nc notice of the objectionable editorials Colonel Cooper assured me that he would not send the note and there would be nothing more of 1t.

KAISER'S INTERVIEW
IT IS SUBJECT OF WARM DEBATE
 IN REICHsTAG.
Won Buelow Says He Has Decided to Remain As Chancellor Hut He Cannot Say How
 U.Onw.

Berlin. Nov. 10.--The opening of the debate in the Reichstag today on Elm peror Williams interview as published in The London Daily Teleg V ,h found
 the chamber fuller than 1t ever had
 been before on the occasion of an im-
 portant political event.
 All the ministers. excepting foreign
 Secretary Won schoen. were present.
 The interpelIations were taken up at
 once. Herr Bassermann, National Lib-
 eral opening the debate. He expressed
 hearty desire for the continuance of
 friendly relations with foreign coun-
 tries and said he believed that a very
 small proportion of the German people
 were unfriendly to Great Britain. The
 personal element In foreign politics
 was dangerous, he declared. and the
 higher a man stood the greater care
 he should take of his utterances.
 Responsible officials should exam inc his remarks. The National Lib- erals did not desire the resignation of Chancellor von Buelow. but they did want the elimination of the personal element from the conduct of foreign affair, as its continuance was bound to bring failure.
 Practically the entire German people. he said. were of one mind concerning the renewed efforts of direct imperial interference in the foreign affairs of the empire. Local monarchists could only regret that damage had been done
 to the monarchial principle, especially
 at time when a strong Republican Party had grown up.
 This statement was greeted with ap- plause from the socialists. The em- peror is very badly informed, the | speaker continued, when he says that l the German people are hostile to Great Britain. The publication of this im- perial declaration is not the worst fea- ture of the incident Herr Bassermann said. This is the fact that these opin- | ions are held and passed from mouth to mouth. No one knows how many similar conversations with foreigners repose among the archives of other governments. They. are in contraven- | ton of article IT of the constitution, l which provides that imperial acts in l foreign affairs, must be countersigned | by the chancellor.
 Herr Weimer, radical. said:
 we regretted greatly the incident over the appointment of David Jayne l Hill to the post of the American Am | bassador in Berlin, tending as it did to disturb the good relations between
 the United States and Germany. 1t was 1 said on teh other side of the ocean that
 our representatives abroad shall not
 be check books, but men,"
 This statement brought out applause. Herr Singer. Socialist, declared that
 Germany had sunk low in foreign opin- ! ion through the incapacity and levity of persons in responsible places. Replying to the critics Chancellor Won Buelow calmly and briefly ex- pIained the circumstances preceding | the publication of The Telegraph inter- view. He declared he had decided to remain as chancellor but he could not gay for how long.

 The reason Vinol Is so beneficial to old people is because 1t is composed of two world-famed tonics-the medtcin- al clements of cod liver oil-and iron. Vinol tones up the digestive organs, aids assimilation. makes rich. red blood, and strengthens every organ In the body. .~
