Peoples Party Platform.

st. Louis.-The platform adopted by
the Peoples party convention declares
that the issuing of money is a func-
ton of the government alone that
should not be delegated to any cOrpo-
ration or industry. The demand is
made that money be issued direct to
the people without the Intervention of
banks and be full legal tender for
all debts. public and private. The
working of the national banking law
is criticised and the demand made that
the power to issue money be taken
from the banks. The Aldrch bill is de-
nounced as "a method by which the
nation and the people can both be
robbed. 1t has not in it an intelligent
purpose that is honest"
The Fowler bill is also denounced.
The plank on trusts demands that
the government own and control the
railroads, and all public utilities which
in their nature are monopolies. Own
ershop of the general telegraph and tel
ephone lines and parcels post are
also asked.
The taxation of monopoly privileges
while they remain in private hands is
another feature of this plank. Other
planks favored initiation and referen
DUN and the power to recall from Of
flee disloyal or inefficient representa-
tives.
The enactment of legislation looking
to the improvement of conditions for

Abolition OF child labor and suppress

Probing the Paper Trust.

Washington.-In his capacity as a
member Of the House. Speaker Cannon
Thursday introduced resolution di-
recting the attorney general to trans
init to the House the papers bearing
on the investigation into the affairs
Of the print paper trust" A resolu-
tion giving similar directions to the
secretary of the Department of Com
merce and Labor also was introduced
by the speaker
Speaker Cannon said:
"The duty on print paper is fifteen
per cent. ad valorem and has been the
same since 1890 under the Mckinley
law, the Wilson law and the Dingley
law, covering a period OF eighteen
years. 1t is claimed that the price
has been advanced within the last few
months. largely more than equal to the
duty. II the claim Of the publishers
is correct. the advance in the price is
not due to the duty. but results from
the illegal trust and combination. If
the small duty were repealed. it would
not interfere with the illegal trust
agreement"

BRITISH PREMIER RESIGNS.
Will Be Succeeded by Herbert II. A.
quith, Chancellor of Excheousr,

London.-Great Britain Sunday
night is in a peculiar position, being
without either premier or ministry.
The long expected resignation of Sir
Henry Campbell -Bannerman the prime
minister. was officially announced. Ac-
cording to the court circular, he re-
signed on the urgent recommendation
OF his medical advisers. AS the con-
s'itution of the country provides no
automatic successor, it resting with the
King to choose a new head OF the gov
ernment, and in accordance with Gus
tom and precedent. the whole cabinet
resigns with the premier, no step to
appoint ministry can be taken until
Herbert II. Asquith, chancellor of the
exchequer, who has been summoned TO
BiarritZ for the purpose, has seen the
King
The position of the country is quite
unprecedented, there being no previous
example of a change occurring in the
premiership while the sovereign was
abroad. On this account the course OF
procedure to be followed is in some
doubt.
Sir Henry's condition remains un
changed, according to the physicians
bulletin posted today. The King, in
telegraphing his acceptance of the pre-
mier's resignation, conveyed an eX-
preston of his regret and esteem. with
best wishes for Sir Henry's recovery.
Chancellor Asquith, who has been
acting premier for some time past
will leave for Biarritz Immediately. At
cabinet meeting, specially called, he
submitted the premier's resignation
and the situation was fully discussed.
Asquith's accession to the premier
ship will De well received by all sec.
tions of his party with the possible ex-
ception of the extreme radical and la
Dor men, who are inclined to see
in his imperialistic views the end of
some of their aspirations for Socialistic
reforms.
Similar feelings are likely to prevail
in the Irish benches of the house.
where he is not regarded as a sure
friend of home rule in any degree be-
yond giving Ireland control of her

Five Million Carnegie Gift.

New York-Announceme was
made Friday night that Andrew Carne-
gle would add $4,000, 600 to the fund Of
the Carnegie foundation or whatever
sum might be necessary to include as
pension beneficiaries eligible profes-
sors of state universities.
No provision was made tor this class
of educators in the original gift for the
reason stated by Mr.. Carnegie at the
time. that the donor thought it possi-
Bile that such institutions might prefer
that their relations should continue
exclusively with the state from which
their chief support was derived.
This view was not taken by the Ma
tional Association of State Universe
ties, which in the year following the
establishment of the foundation petit
toned the trustees for admittance to
the benefits of the retiring allowance
system. It was then found that the
earnings of the original fund Of $10.-
100000 were exhausted through tn.
outlet already planned and that II the
faculties of all state universities were
to be benefited an additional $4,000
900 would be required.

Cook Scores Pinchot.

Washington.-In the closing debate
in the House on the agricultural DILL
Representative Cook challenged the
statement recently published by For
ester Pinchot that the receipts OF ms
bureau are in excess of the eXpendl-
lures. He cited the testimony Of MI
Pinchot before the agricultural com
mittee that expenses of his bureau for
the year ending June 30, 1907. we're
$64 900 in excess Of the receipts.
He predicted that the receipts Tor
the current year would not show an
increase, as predicted by Pinchot, but
on the contrary, would show a de-
crease on account of the inactivity in
mines usually using large quantities
of timber. Mr. Cook said further that
the price placed on mining timber by
the bureau, IS per thousand, is unreas'
enable and excessive.
He called attention to the arbitrary
ruling of the bureau requiring mining
companies purchasing timber to cut
and remove it from the forests within
a year. In closing he said:
Now what we want in Colorado IN
the management Of the forest bureau
Is less sentiment and more practicable
ity, fewefHarvard graduates and rough
riders and some practical lumber and
millmen who know something about
the business from experience, and that
the forestry bureau shall comply strict
ly with the law

Denver Exposition Buildings.

Denver.-The special committee OF
the Colorado fair and exposition com
pleted ground plans Saturday for the
grouping OF the building at Overland
park. There may be one or more mi
nor changes later.
1t is proposed to have all buildings
grouped so that there will be no eX-
haustng walks from one part of the
grounds to the other in order to see the
whole show.
j. j. Huddart, the architect. has com
pleted plans for the five buildings that
will be erected this summer for the

The old wilderness Immediately back
Of the grandstand has been cut out
and the Platte river will be moved.
Here is where the buildings are to be
erected. The Denver & Rio Grande
depot will be at the farther side Of this

tural and horticultural halls. the
former back of the clubhouse and the
latter back of the grandstand. Be-

President Rules Canal Zone.

Washington. - President Roosevelt

answer to resolution inquiring by
what authority he has exercised the
functions of government in the Panama
canal zone since the tifty-eighth Con-
sress or by what right the executive.
legislative and judicial functions in the
zone have been performed since that
date. The message follows:
Civil government has been main
tained in the canal zone under my di-
rection pursuant to the authority con
ferred by the treaty between the
United States and Panama concluded
November IS, 1903. and the acts OF
Congress approved June 2S, 1902, April
%, 1904, March 3. 1905, December 21.

President and its means for mainte-
nance were from year TO year expressly
and specifically appropriated by Con-

Colorado Railroad Progress.

Denver.--Electrificat of railroads
seems to be the order of :he day and
numerous Colorado roads are now pre-
pairing to apply the Juice" to parts OF
their lines. Gigantic power companies
are throwing their currents all over the
state. rendering electricity a compare.
lively cheap commodity, and as II
is more available in some ways
than steacl power, it will be used very
extensively in the near future.
The Colorado & Southern railroad
has about completed its electric line to
Boulder, Eldorado Springs and other
points. Twelve big new cars are being
finished for this service, and beginning
May 1st, or thereabouts, hourly cars
will run between Denver and Boulder.
The GERS are to be delivered In Den
yer April 25th and it is thought pos
sible to pui them in use by May 1st.
This electric line built by the Colo
RADIO &; Southern follows right along
the ne Of the steam road and will be
devoted almost entirely to passenger
traffic The cars will enter Denver
over the Twenty-third street viaduct
and pass over Arapahoe street. This
will afford suburban service to such
places as Harris and other country
sites near Denver.
The Moffat railroad is now figuring
with the Central Power Company for
electric power in handling heavy trains
over mountain grades. Electric power
enables trains to take the grades with
comparative ease and if the present
plan works out as anticipated the
heavy freight trains may all be taken
across the steep grades of the divide in
this manner. Electric engines would
be employed at the necessary points to
take the trains over.
Work Oh the Moffat road proper is
now progressing rapidly and steel rails
are now being laid on the other side
of Yermony. A tracklaying machine
is being pressed into service. making it
possible to lay about two miles per day.
About ! 900 men will be employed to
take the line into Steamboat Springs
as soon as the weather settles.

NEXT BATTLE COMMERCIAL.
Admiral Evens Prophecies Great Pa
cific Developments.

San Francisco.-Admiral Robley D.
Evans in an interview printed in the
Chronicle Sunday, said:
The greater interest OF the United
States today is in the Pacific. The com
lhg OF the fleet to this coast has not
Only demonstrated TO the world that
We nave sixteen battleships, which can
be brought together for long cruise at
a moments notice, but it has called the
attention of the people of our own
country TO the fact that we have Pa
ciflc coast as well as an Atlantic coast.
and that it will be defended just as
much as every inch of land around New
fork, and that our interests in the Pa
cine are greater today than in the At
lantic.
This is the short road to countries
OF the far East, where the greatest com.
merclal development is to be. With de-
Velopment will come war but it will be
commercial war, fought with brains
and dollars, and not with 10-iEch guns.
1t will be generated by such men as
Hartman, and the part OF the navy is
always ready. We do not plan nor
fight commercial battles.
The coming of the fleet was most
opportunel: timed by the President,
and its arrival in the Pacific has re-
suited in the present assurance OF
peace. Not that | ever believed that
there was any actual danger of war.
The people of both countries realized
too well what a dreadful calamity
such war would have been.
IF the navy should ever be called
upon to fight in the settlement of our
interests in the Pacific it would be 10
stop with its guns the commercial de-
velopmcnt for which the leaders of in
dustry are battling with brains and
dollars.
I'VE accomplished much for the
cause Of peace in the Pacific when we
demonstrated that the efficiency Of the
fleet increased with each day of the
cruise. When the feet sailed through
the Straits of Magellan inUo the Pa.
cific the ships were in better condition
and better prepared for action than
they were the day we sailed. That was
proved by the target practice at Mag
dalena bay. and the records of that
practice. which are the most satisfac
tory, will show it,"
