General Grants Army Cook Deprived

Grants army cook, John Furling. has
been compelled to. surrender his re-
volver and forego the taste for fire.
arms that seems to have clung to him
from the days of the Civil war. The
aged cook was convicted Of threaten
ing to shoot John Hopple for treading
on the corner of Furlings lot. 1t took
the jury only five minutes to find a
verdict but the tedious work Of the
trial came in the efforts to secure a
jury. Out of thirty talesmen called,
twenty-four admitted prejudice on the
ground that Furling had at one time
or another threatened to shoot them.
So great was the interest in the trial
that business in the village was prac-
tically suspended during the progress
of the case. Witnesses testified that
Furling was accustomed to go out
doors at night and fire his gun just to
show his dexterity with it. Justice
Brewer reserved sentence for one
week, and continued the defendants
$500 bond on condition that he sur
render his revolver.

CASTRO. IS DEFIANT.
He Refuses to Consider Demands of
American Minister,

Caracas. March 19.-President Cas-
tro's official organ Ell Constitutional,
publishes part of Venezuela's an
swer to Secretary Roots last note re-
iteratlng the secretary's previous de-
mands for the arbitration of the five
American claims. These are the words
OF the Venezuelan minister of foreign
affairs to Minister Russell:
The government of Venezuela re-
1uses FOR the time being to take under
consideration the insinuation made in
your note because up to now. Mr.
Minister. you have not contradicted
the notes of this ministry Of dates July
and September 2 last, which treated
of the points which have been the sub
Ject of discussion and in which the
reasons On which this government then
founded its negative were perfectly
we'll defined. In view of this, the case
in question, comprised among those
which require diplomatic action can
not be considered and the government
Of Venezuela would see with satisfac-
ton that the United States would con-
slider this matter terminated, the in
terested parties always having the
right of recourse to the tribunals of
justice of the republic if they deem it
convenient
The paper, goes on to allege that al
most five years after the claims in
question had been arbitrated the Amer
ican government chose to demand
through it's minister in Caracas, that
two Of these claims shall be newly SUBJ
mitted to arbitration Suggesting that
the usefulness of the Monroe doctrine
will be destroyed by the present atti-
tude of the state department, the edi-
torial continues:
I'VE do not believe for a moment
that the United States congress, the
higher representation of the union,
can possibly authorize any proceeding
which will create a situation contrary
to the rule of Justice among nations. -
In closing Ell Constitutional says:
1T is the duty of every government
to watch over the legitimate and hon
est interests of its citizens and save
them from all designing attack, but nc
serious government nor any govern
ment which pretends to be just can OF
ought to protect under the flag of the
fatherland the populations Of adven-
turers."
A serious charge is added against
one of the persons making claim
against Venezuela.

BURNING TWO DAYS.
A Fierce Prairie Fire Sweeping Over
Section of Nebraska.

Paxton, Neb.. April "A prairie
fire has been raging in the sand hills
for two days. James Kane is known
to have been burned to death, many
houses were destroyed, hundreds of
head of live stock were lost and thou
sands Of acres of prairie burned over.
The fire started Tuesday. All day
Wednesday a SO mile wind blew and
the blaze swept across the prairie
with tremendous speed. Blazing
embers were carried 10 miles in ad-
vance of the flames in places.
The sky, was so black with smoke
that the ranchmen were unable to
locate the fire until the blaze was
upon them.
AS rapidly as possible ranchers
pIowed safety burrows around their
buildings, but in many cases the
flames reached them before the plow-
ing was completed. This happened in
the case of James Kane, ranchman
north of Paxton and Kane, together
with his house and all his live stock
were burned. Grave fears are held
for the safety of other ranchers-

No Surprise in New York Over the
Vanderbilt Divorce Suit.

formal action in suit for absolute
divorce had been taken by Mrs. Ellen
French Vanderbilt against Alfred G.
Vanderbilt Within the social set in
which the couple have been leaders,
it had been known for year or more.
it is said, that there was a lack OF
mutual good feeling between the
young people. While the parties to
the trouble and all their intimates
maintained the utmost reserve since
the reports of family troubles became
public a week ago, still many c1rcum-
stantial stories had found their way
into print and been generally accept
ed as true so there seemed little doubt
that legal action would soon be taken.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, ( when questioned
about the departure OF his wife from
the Vanderbilt farm at portsmouth,
R. L., and asked il he had been con-
suited before the move was made. re-
piled that Mrs Vanderbilt was free to
visit her brother at any time without
his consent He and Mrs. Vanderbilt
fatty refused to discuss the relations
existing between them on the ground
that it was an affair in which the
public had no concern. Mr.. Vanderbflt's s
departure for Europe had been plan

II think that fruit of every kind
that was in bloom is killed as ice half

fully a week farther advanced this
season than it was last when the

entire crop. 1t is true that the mer-

Bryan Men Among Delegates to
Populist Convention.
Seek Adjournment of National
Convention to Later Date.
THEY WANT TO WAIT
Until After the Old Parties Have
Made Nominations.
Only Result So Far Is to DELAY
the Proceedings.

St. Louis, April 2-The Populist na-
tional convention which was called for
~ a. m. today was somewhat behind
that hour In commencing proceedings.
The chief cause of this was the re-
newed efforts of the Bryan men to se-
cure an agreement for an Adjournment
until after the Republican and Demo-
crat conventions. They made strong
arguments before the members of the
national committee and also before
the committee on credentials, but with
no apparent effect save to delay the
proceedings. They backed up their
demands for an adjournment by the
claims that some of the deIexafes
present had been Improperly chosen
and that the entire call for the COM
vention was illegal
They cited the case of Pennsylvania.
which has 79 votes in the Convention
while Watson in 1904. did not receive
single vote in the state. Other al
legged inequalities In the system OF
representation were mentioned, but the
Watson men stood firm and refused to
listen to any proposition for an ad-
journment.
The determination of Nebraska,
Minnesota and Michigan to bolt the
convention if the programme of maxi
ing nominations is carried out. was un-
altered today. E. w. Walrath, secre-
tary of the Nebraska state central
committee, said:
I'VE do not propose to be trampIed
upon and we are going to fight for our
rights. We claim to represent more
Simon pure Populists than any other
state. We will not be a party to any
nominations and if they are made. and
if an adjournment is not taken, we
will leave the convention
The convention came to order short
ly before IL o'clock. about 900 dele-
gates being present. After an invo-
cation by Rev. Thomas Wadsworth OF
Indiana, the formal proceedings were
begun by James H. Ferris of Joliet, the
chairman Of the national committee
Following the addess of Mr.. Ferris
Jacob S. Coxey of Ohio was named as
temporary chairman Of the convention
After taking the chair he made an
address covering the leading econ-
omical questions of-'the day, paying
particular attention to the national
currency.
Chairman Coxey. devoted much time.
to the advocacy of the Issue of inter-
est bearing bonds as q means Of ac-'
Quiring public utilities.
Immediately after the conclusion of
the chairman's address, a debate arose
on the manner of appointing members
of the various committees. It was
finally decided that each state should
select one member of each COMMITTEES
and the chairman should have the
right to appoint four delegates at large
on each committee, except the COM
mittee on credentials. The convention
then adjourned until afternoon.

Cars Collide in a Fog.

Los Angeles, Cal. April 1.-Two
cars on the Los Angeles Pacific road.
between Los Angeles and Santa
Monica coIIfded head-on at Rosemary
station in q dense fog early this
morning. killing one man and SER
iously injuring half dozen. Twenty
Others received minor injuries. Near
ly all the injured were employed at
the oil fields. The outward bound car
appears to have had the right Of way.
The fog prevented either motorman
from seeing the other car until it was
toe late to stop.
