FROM ROME.

Though the question of the San
Francisco cOsdjutorship was presented
TO the pope last week by Cardinal Glib
bous, and again yesterday by Archbish-
OPP Farley, no decision has as yet been
reached. 1t was reported yesterday
that the claims of the Rev. DR.. Edward
J. Hanna we're strongly urged by both
the divnes. Reports of the modernist
tendencies OF Father Hanna have
reached the pope and these may stand
10 the way of his selection.
Archbishop Farley headed delega-
ton OF 81 American priests and 100 lay
pilgrims in his visit to the vatican. He
carried with him the Peters peucs OF
the New York archdiocese and received
the pope's apostolic beuedictiOn for the
clergy and laity Of New York.
The reception to the archbishop and
the American pilgrims was one of The
most cordial ever accorded by the pope.

TUESDAY EvENnNa. ArG. 4. lsOs.

Mr.. CORTELYOU's theory about the
non-existence of deficit during the last
fiscal year has not been applied to the
July deficit Of about 1915, 100000; and
it would be Interesting to see whether
his figure juggling could turn that deficit
into a surplus. The deficit it'elf veri-
fiss the charges made at the end of the
fl .cal year that the deficit for the year
was kept down TO $50, 900, 900 by stav'
ing of till July as many payments as
possible. 1t is evident now this post
ponement in the interests of good
showing for the yetr affected ten or
twelve million dollars. Mr.. OCrlelyou's
explanation, which was accepted with
out qualification by Oandidsts TAFT was
in part that $8S, 900, 900 had been
spent in redeemiog the public debt.
Now, the statement of receipts and expeu-
ses which shows the deficit of $50, OOO,-
900 does net contain payments on &C
count of the public debt, and further
more, it was shown by the regular debt
statements for the end of June, 1907
snd 1908, that during the last fiscal
wear there was an increase Of about $780,
600, 900 in the debt of every SORT and a
decrease of about $50, 900, 600 il the
free cash in the treasury. The two items

TOday's Telegraphic News
The British Columbia Fires.

Vancouver, B. O., Aug. 4.-Looting
by Slay miners, according to dispatches
received here today, from Fernie, hiss
caused q reign Of terror over all the
Kootensy valley where from two to three
hundred lives have been lost and $lO,-
900, 900 damage has been wrought by
the crest IRE which still is raging fercely.
To combat the expected activity Of the
ghouls msrt'al law wss early declared
throughout the district and practically
every gun 10 Crambrock and other near
by settlements has been sent into the
burned area.
That the fire, which now is sweeping
southwsrd to the Montana line, is still
doing dsmsge where it originated is
evident from the kilograms from Hes
MFR which say that the remaining bui d.
ings of that town and Michel have al
most all been consumed by the flames
which drove in upon both towns after it
wss believed all danger had passed. No
details OF any further fatalities are given
and it is believed that few additional
lives will be lost At Nelson, where
thousands of the victims are encsmped
in tents ar d brush shelters, the suffering
has been lesssned by the arrival OF many
relief trains which brought food aud
bedding. In other sections, however,
crest suffering still exists.
Just how many persons are dead Is
not known yet and probably will never
BE-. The latest estimate for the whole
stricken district is between two and three
hundred. Many cases of where parties
escaped with their lives only by standing
for hours 10 the ice cold streams while
the waves of fame rolled over head, sre
related, and instances where mothers
welcomed death rather than leave
their children ID the fire, are not few.
! Many even of those who fed to the
( streams persisted 10 the fierce heat. Those
best acquainted with the burned district
profess themselves unable to make any
close estimate of the deaths.
OF the loss in property slightly
better estimate has been obtained but
even that is unsatisfactory. 1t is gene
rilly agreed, however, that it will be not
less than $40, DOC 900 and may be even
ereater.
The origin was bush fire 10 "slash
ings' of the Oedsr Valley Lumber Com
pany across the river from Ftrnie.

DISCRIMINATION CHARGED.

Discrimination against Washington in
the matter of passenger rates to and
from that city, as compared particularly
with rates from Alexandra to other
points within Virginia, was the sui ject
Of a meeting of the executive committee
of the Washington Chamber of Commerce
yesterday.
Special attention was given TO the
difference in the rates charged from
Washington to Virgins points, and the
tes chs rged from Alexandra to the
same points.
1t is uDd srstood that the committee
will endesvor to find measures whereby
the dissemination may be removed.
The whole mater arises from the law
fixing two cent. per mile rate in Vir-
ginia which law, however, does not ap-
ply when purchasing tickets 10 or from
Washir gtOn.

Attorneys for Alphonse and Eva Du-

federal grand jury on charge of ques-
tionable character, who had been in
this country less than three years, have
appealed to the Supreme Court of the
United States for their release from jail,

Col. Hugh l.. Scott, superintendent
of the Military Academy at West Point,

War Wright, today, on the general sub
iect of hszing, with particular reference
to the cases Of the eight cadets recently
convicted of hsziDg, and the proper
punishment 10 be melted ont to them. 1t
is probable that rs one result of Col.
SCOTS visit to Washington, statement
will be issued, clearing up the confusion
which hiss srisen over the question
whether the president did or did not ap-
prove the sentence of dismissal of the
yonDd men from the academy. General
Oliver, who was acting secretary last
week, during Secretary Wrights absence,
WAS authority for the statement that the
papers came back from Oyster Bay
bearing the presidents approval OF the
order of dismissal. Both The president
aud Secretary Wright now state that no
final action OF any kind hiss been taken,
aud General Oliver has gone on his
vacation. After the conference with
Col. Scott, SeCr,tUy Wright this after
noon announced that he would issue
order on the subject within the next
forty EIGHT hours. MAJOR General Bell,
wss in the conference, aid, with Dol.
Scott, vac insislent that the young men
should be properly punished. 1t is not
by sny means certain that the cadet:

In REFERENCE to the recent decision
in the Norfolk poll tax case, Mr.. Garter
Glass, of Lynchburg, who was men,
Der of the convention which framed the
new constitution, hss written letter in
which he says:
was among those who framed the
article on suffrage as embodied in the
new constitution of Virginia. / think
the requirement that the poll tax shall
be pCricnally paid simply means that
every man shall pay the tax with his own
money and not with money furnished
him by somebody else. The whole idea
was TO prevent corruption and ] do not
think any member OF the convention
who prepared or voted fer the article on
suffrage had the slightest idea that it
could be regarded as corrupt for per-
son to give his check for the amount OF
his poll tax.
This is a common sense view of the
matter and the one which ia held by
nine out of every ten men in the state.
