in the room with the man about a min
ute before the explosion occurred.
When the noise of the explosion died
away neighbors rushed in and found
Drake horribly mangled, lying on the
floor. He was still conscious.

East Orange, happened along in an

KELLOGG HAS The CALL.
Choice for Republican Chairman if He

Will accept.
New York, July 3-Frank B. Kel-
logg, committeeman from Minnesota, is
still the factor of prime interest in the
situation over the craftsmanship of the
Republican national committee. No
formal offer of the craftsmanship has
been made to Mr.. Kellogg, but it is
the general belief in political circles
here that such an offer would be made
If Mr.. Kellogg were to indicate that
he was in a position to accept. Mr..
Kellogg and Committeeman Ward of
this state spent three hours in close
conference with President Roosevelt,
during which Mr.. Kellogg's objections
to taking the place, it. is believed, were
set forth. The only reason that has
been interposed by the Minnesota man
so far is his prosecution of the gov
ernment's suit to dissolve the Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey. Mr..
Kellogg first came into national prom
inence through his ability as a prose-
cutor of corporation cases, gaining the
friendship of the president by his &C.
tivity in this respect, and now that
he is engaged in a very important case
it is said that he does not care to re-
linquish his task.

HEED BRITISH PROTEST.
Cossacks Guarding Legation at Re
heran Withdrawn.


London, July 3.-The protest uttered
by the British government has result
ed in the withdrawal of the Persian
Cossacks who have been guarding the
approaches to the British legation at
Teheran because of the presence in
the legation of Persian refugees. The
refugees are still in the legation build
ing and the shah's government has
been informed that written guarantees
for their lives, persons and property
viii be required before they are given
up. In the case of Persians accused
of crimes as distinct from political
offenses fair trial, at which a mem
her of the legation is to be present,
must be guaranteed.
Advices received at the foreign office
here show that the lives of English
men and English interests in Persia
are not in danger. Great Britain,
therefore, has no present intention of
increasing the present guard at either
the legation at Teheran or the con-
sulate at Tabriz. At the latter place
the British consul general has a guard
of half a dozen men of the Indian
army.
