New York. July Prank B. kel

Minnesota, is still the factor OF prime
interest in the situation over the chair
manship of the Republican national
committee. No formal offer has been
made to him, but 1t is the general be

man Ward, of this state, spent three
hours yesterday with President RoOse
welt during which Kellogg's objec
tions to taking the place were set
forth, it is believed. The only reason
that has been interpersed by the
Minnesota man so far is his prosecu
ton of the governments suit to dis
|solve the Standard Oil company ot
New Jersey.
Kellogg first came into prominence
through his ability as a prosecutor in
corporation cases, gaining the friend
ship of President Roosevelt in his ac
|tivity in this respect.

CHEWING FOR UNCLE
SANS JACK TARS
Government Has Detail of Sailors
Testing the Various Brands Pre-
paratory to Laying in Supply.

New York, July 2.-To determine
which Of great variety of chewing
tobacco will serve the needs of the
United States Jack Tars for the next
year, board of paymasters will be-
gin today in the Brooklyy navy yard
a solemn conclaye to last week. A
force of blue jackets detailed from the
several ships of the yard will act as
experts.
On the result of the tests will rest
the award of contract for 100000
pounds of tobacco.
That no chicanery may creep into
the samples will be freed from identi
fication marks save numbers before
being submitted to maceration by the
testers.
Although the rules governing com
petition do not require segregation ol
the several judges, it is prescribed
that the chewing arbiters shall pro
coed with their work in silence.
The paymasters, speaking figura
lively, will also take a hand in the
chewing in addition to supervising
chemical and other tests of the purity
of the samples, but the creates
weight will rest with the patriotic
judgment of the jack tars.

TREASURY CALL
FOR CASH LIKELY
Fiscal Year Just Closed Most Unsatis.
factory One for Government
From Financial Standpoint.

Washington, July From the
treasury standpoint the fiscal year just
closed has been q most unsatisfactory
one. Since about the middle of Oc.
tober last, when the period of money
stringency set in and the consequent
depression in business began to be
felt, there has been constant falling
off in government revenues up to the
month just closed. For June a surplus
is shown Of nearly $4,O0O,00O. This
fact, however, is not significant, as
June is unfailingly surplus month
largely due to the fact that it is the
closing month Of the fiscal year, when
appropriations gradually reach the
point of exhaustion. The month of
June 1907, showed surplus of ap.
proximately s1,OOO,OO0, and the preced-
ing June for many years past have
shown large surpluses.
AS the month of June uniformly
shows a surplus, the month Of July as
certainly shows deficit Nearly all
appropriations become available on
the first of July, and this year treas
ury officials are looking forward to a
deficit larger than usual, and while
they are not willing at this time to
express an opinion as to its size, it is
believed that twenty million dollars
for the one month would he conser-
vative estimate. with a chance of its
being considerably larger than that.
The amount of cash now in the treas
ury vaults and available to meet ex-
penditures is about $70,00O,000. In ad.
dition to this there is on deposit with
national banks about $153,S44,0O0
which is at all times subject to call
by the secretary. A considerable por
tion of this sum is likely to be called
into the treasury within the next few
days, and while Mr.. Cortelyou has
not indicated what his purpose is as
to the amount, it is thought it will be
not less than fifty million dollars.

MACHINlsTS STRIKE
ON SANTA FE OFF
After Four Years Union Shopmen on
This Road Return to Work
Under Open Shop Plan.

Topeka, Kans., July 2.-The strike
of the machinists and boilermal1ers Of
the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Re
railway has ended. Official notice to
this effect reached Topeak Yesterday.
IAN the men who were out on the
|strike can return to work but their
rights as members of the union will
mot be recognized.
The strike of the machinists was
|called by J. d. Buckalew on May 2,
1904. The shops along the system
were closed for few days, but grad.
|ually the Santa Fe filled up the places
Iof the strikers with non.union men
and the shops soon recovered and ev.
er since have been running at full
blast The boilermakers went out in
sympathy with the machinists.
A conference was arranged for a
short time after the strike was called
between Mr.. Buckalew and H. U
Nudge, then general manager of the
Santa Fe. Mr.. Nudge steadfastly re
fused to entertain any ideas Of com
promise and as the places of the
strikers were filled, the strikers were
left out in the cold. For four years
the strike has been on but is now al
most forgotten.
The strike was conducted withou
the least semblance of violence, thu
union strikers not caring to affair
their ends in this way, and the SAINTS
Fe securing a restraining order from
the district court.

JUDGE M'FIE LIFTS
THE LID" A LITTLE
Holds That it is Not a Crime to Oper
ate Soda Fountains on Sunday
District Attorney Excepts.

Judge John r. McFie, of the district
court for Santa Fe county, this morn
ing held that 1t was not violating the
Sunday closing law on the statute
books Of the territory for owners Of
soda fountains to operate them on the
first day of the week, commonly
known as Sunday. He reached the
above decision in an opinion handed
down in the criminal case brought by
Assistant District Attorney c. G. Cat.
ron against Leo Hersch, one of the
owners of the Zook Pharmacy.
When the case came up for a pre-.
liminary hearing Mr.. Hersch, by his
attorney, admitted selling soda water
and ice cream last Sunday but de-
INJURED to the information on the
ground that he had committed no
crime in running his soda fountain
and selling ice cream. After argument
by District Attorney r. c. Gortner,
and the attorney for Mr.. Hersch on
the demurrer Judge McFie sustained
the demurrer and threw the case out
|of court.
The court held that soda fountains,
livery stables, newspapers and games
not disturbing religious gatherings
were not intended to be affected by
the law as passed by the Legislature.
He went further and stated that the
sale of cigars, candy, liquor and mer.
chandise, where the merchandise was
not necessity, sold as an act of char.
|ity or mercy, should be prohibited and
that should he be called upon to make
a decision, fine anyone transacting
business in these lines on Sunday He
further held that bowling alleys and
pool halls should not be allowed to run
on the first day of the week.
'In brief. gentlemen" said the court,
do not violate any law in order to
make money"

Last week resolution of the Com
mercial Club was transmitted to me

Arrives in Denver Direc,
From Lincoln. - Outlines
Platform.

Denver, July 2.-Fresh from visit
yesterday to William Jennings Bry-
an, at Lincoln, Nebraska, Charles A.
Towne, of New York arrived here to-
day and at once placed himself in
touch with the leaders of the Demo.
cratic party now on the ground.
you can say that | am in the race
for the vice presidency to stay" said
Towne, land | have every reason to
feel that | will be nominated. l have
been assured of the support of a
large number of the New York dele
gates and believe at the proper time
they will all be for me. From other
parts of the county also comes infor
nation that my candidacy is accept
able and have pledges of active sup
port"
Mr.. Towne said he had discussed
at length with Bryan the various
planks of the Democratic platform and
particularly that bearing on the issu
ance Of writs Of injunction by the
federal judges in labor cases. He EN-
phatically stated that there would be
no straddle and no ambiguity on that
proposition.
"The anti-injunction plank will be
so framed as to meet with favor from
large majority of the working mer
of the country" he said.
Another plank which he said woult
probably be incorporated in the plat
form and which he discussed witt
Bryan will embody the proposition O.
international naturalization of thu
Philippine Islands. In Mr.. Towne''
opinion such a policy would avoid th'
necessity for tremendous militar.
defensive expenses and give assur
ance Of the development of thos'
islands towards final independence.
Furthermore" he said, 1T IS like
ly that there will be distinct pro
nouncement that permanent system
of dependencies is out of harmon.
with our institutions and that to dis
charge duties that come to us with tn
Philippines would not be permitted tt
defect us permanently from the cours
of our true national progress Tha
he said was in harmony with Bryan
own views.

These revolutions occur periodically.
They are melted by few former

These men stir up trouble through

This Is another one Of those deep laid
plans to pillage. have advices that
absolutely convince me that there is
no fighting more than fifty miles the
other side of the border. The reports
OF the trouble at Torreon are un.
founded. The report that bridge was
burned in Torreon and that the train

also untrue.
"Revolutionists in Mexico are as
