TAFT TALKS.
Republican Candidate Says That the
Labor Vote viii BE Divided.

Republican Candidate Says That the
Labor Vote viii Be Divided.
Wheeling, W. Va.-Judge Taft on
Wednesday concluded his three days
campaign in Ohio What he thinks of
the situation is set forth in the fol-
lowing statement which he issued:
81 have now spent three days in the
state of Ohio, much of the time in the
industrial and labor centers among
men, who, 1t was reported, were dis
affected and opposed to the Republican
party and its candidates. Wherever
appeared was cordially received and
only an occasional interruption indl-
Gated that misrepresentation OF the
attitude Of the party and the candi-
date had made a casual impression.
1T is my opinion that the attitude of
labor toward the Republican party has
been misrepresented quite as freely as
that of the party and the candidate to-
ward labor, and find no reason for
the belief that labor will divide other
than on the lines that have heretofore
divided 1t. In my opinion the normal
Republican labor vote will be cast as
heretofore.
"In the agricultural regions 1t is
quite apparent that the farmers are OPP
posed to a change that will imperil
their present prosperity.
"The situation in Ohio is entirely sat
isfactory and no one has any reason
able doubt that the Republican major
ity will be substantial one. l GER
tainly have no doubt ON the subject
myself"
Again the Taft special was de-
layed by accident. In trying to take
a spur track from Cadiz Junction to
Cadiz, O., 1t was found first that the
train was too heavy for the grade, not
withstanding that two engines were
used. The train was run back to the
junction and three cars cut off.
On the second attempt, while a speed
of about 10 miles an hour was being
made, two wheels of the second engine
jumped the track. Before a stop could
be made the train had run two lengths,
The wheels, which were on the ties,
cut them in two. On either side OF the
track the bank sloped down for 20
feet and that the engine did not go
over was said to be due to the pilot
engine. No one was injured and, like
the previous derailment, but half
hour was lost through the accident.

London.-According to what appar-
emily Is an inspired statement with re-
gard to Russia's position, which ap-
pears in the Times, a practical agree
ment has been reached by M. Iswolsky
and Sir Edward Grey, under which
the conference of the powers will dis
cuss the question of compensation to
Turkey, Seryia and Montenegro, but
the Dardanelles question will be left
for separate negotiations later between
Russia and Turkey.
Russia agrees with the western pow
ers that the compensation given to
Servia and Montenegro should not be
at Turkeys expense and holds that
1t Is to Europe's interest to facilitate
in every possible way Turkeys heavy
task in completing the constitutional
reforms.
According to the statement Russia
desires a revision of the agreements
concerning the Dardanelles, but does
not wish to make the revision a part
Of the conference program or to force
1t upon Turkey. On the contrary, Rus
sia agrees that q revision Is possible
only with the consent and good will
Of the Turkish government, and as a
result Of future negotiations, which
1t is hoped the British government will
facilitate, and that an arrangement
could be reached with the help of all
the interested parties, which would
give Russia all she requires without
menacing the interests Of other pow.
ers. In addition, by removing long
standing Russian grievance, It would
contribute to the consolidation Of the
Anglo Russian understanding and the
establishment OF real friendship be-
tween Russia and Turkey.
IN Iswolsky's departure" says the
statement in the Times, was delayed
in order to complete the details of
the agreement, and when he returns
to st. Petersburg he will make an I'M
portant statement to the duma, max
ing clear not only that he had not
consented to annexation Of Bosnia and
herzegovina, but that he expressly
warned Baron Won Aehrenthal that the
position OF these two provinces was
European question which could not be
settled by Austria and Turkey"

Indian charaed WIEN RIaamy.

New York-Henry Standing Bear,
full-blooded Sioux Indian, who is a
graduate of the Carlisle Indian school
and formerly fullback on the Car
isle football eleven, was arraigned in
the Tombs police court recently
charged with bigamy.
The complaint was brought by Ha-
eel M. Moran Of st. Louis, who said
she was a graduate of Smith college
at Northampton, Mass.
Miss Moran alleged that she was
married to Bear in May last and ac-
companied him to London to interpret
for Indians which were giving exhib-
itions at the Crystal palace there.
Miss Moran asserted that she has
now discovered that Bear has Sioux
wife and three children at Pine Tree,
s. d.
Bear was held in bail for hearing
later.

Peculiar Haze Over St. Thomas.

st. Thomas, D. w. livery hazy
weather has prevailed here since last
Friday. The cause has not been ex-
planned, but the phenomenon is said
to be an extraordinary mist. 1t is
very like the dust fall that occurred
at the time of the eruption of Mt. Pc
lee, but no volcanic outbreak in the
islands has been reported and there
is no trace of ashes. The air at st.
Thomas is now gradually clearing.
Similar weather is reported from
others of the West Indian islands, and
noticeably at Guadeloupe. There is
an unverihed report here that fine sand
fell over the village Of Sainte Rose
Guadeloupe.

st. Albans, vt--In order to relieve
the city from the marked shortage in

voted to have pipes laid for distance
Of about two miles to bring water from

view Of this arrangement, the Cen

mitted to use certain amount of city
water, and It's shops which were shut
down about week ago, when the city
water was cut of from them, have been
re-opened.

The South as Producer Of Lumber.

The South as Producer Of Lumber.
1t is perhaps not generally known
that the South Is the largest lumber
producing section Of our country. Or
fetal statistics show that in 1907 the
South cut 1888, 900 feet of lum-
Der. This was the record cut OF that
section of the country. and came very
near being one-half the country's en-
tire lumber production. To be exact,
It was 47.9 percent of the whole, and
the grand total includes over 7,OOo,-
600 900 feet of lumber that is not cut
at all in the South-fir, Western pine,
redwood, larch, white fir, sugar pine
and tamarack.--Buffalo Times.
