BUT IN WRONG WAY

Marshall P. Wright of the Yaqui
Central Mining company arrived in
Douglas Monday on his way down.
to the mine from his old home in St
Louis, Mo, where he has been quite
i'll for some time. He is now fully re-
covered and is on his way to the mine
to see how the work has progressed
in his absence. Mr.. Wright said last
evening in the Gadsden hotel that he
just felt it in his bones that ne could
pick the next president. B. n. Norton
asked him to do it, and Mr.. Wright
said it would be Gov. Tom Johnson
of Minnesota. He said that Johnson's
following was growing at tremendous
rate in the east, and among both the
democrats and republicans of the con-
sentative class. He said he believed
that if the democratic party were act
ually so eager for Bryan as their can
date for president they would be send
ing more instructed delegations to the
conventions. This he said has brought
ut a great boom in the Johnson
camp.

ANNIVERSARY OF
MEMORABLE SPEECH
MASTERPIECES OF ORATORY DE.
LIVERED by JEFFERSON DA-
WIS ON JAN. II, 1901, IN WHICH
HE ANNOUNCED THE SECES-
SION OF MISSISSIPPI FROM
THE UNION.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Today is
the anniversary of one Of the most
memorable speeches evr delivered in
the United States senate. and that
fact Is recalled by many aged men
Of Washington who lived in the ma
tional capital during those troubled
times. II was on January 21, 1861,
that Jefferson Davis, who later led
the lost cause TO defeat. arose I'm his
place in the senate chamber and
solemnly announced the secession Of
his state Mississippi, from the
Union, and his withdrawal from the
senate.
Those who heard the momentous
address Of Jefferson Davis declare
that it was masterpiece OF oratory,
not impassioned, not vindictive, but
abounding in expressions OF love for
his former colleagues and associa-
tions II brought tears to the eyes
of many senator's. and after It's con-
clusion nearly every member OF the
august body crowded around the
tall, thin, towering form OF the Mis-.
sissippi statesman and shook his
hand in farewell The address was
grave and earnest and delivered with
all the courtly grace Of southern
gentleman Of the old school, but the
force Of the orator did not serve to
hide the depths Of feeling and emo
tion that animated the man.
The anniversary Is especially mem
orable at this time because OF the
fact that the senate is now the cen
ter Of the oratorical activities OF an
other southerner bearing the same
name. Jefferson Davis. OF Arkansas.
Those who have had the opportuni,
~ TO hear both men, however. de-
clare that the similarity between the
two men stops short at the name,
and that the prcscn Jefferson Davis
in appearance. actions and speech. Is
almost direct opposite Of his dis
/ tinguihed predecessor.

TO AMEND RATE LAW

Raleigh, ~ c., Jan. 21.-In re-
sponse to a call issued by Governor
Glenn the general assembly Of North
Carolina met today in special session.
The specific purpose OF the session
is to change, amend modify or re-
peal the railroad passenger rate Of
"a cents mile passed by the last
legislature. The enforcement OF the
law led to a bitter battle I'm the
courts, accompanied by frequent
clashes Of authority between the
state officials and the federal Judges.
II was agreed that II the law should
not be satisfactory I'm it's operation
it would be amended or repealed II
Is generally admitted that the rate
law, as now framed is advantaeeous
neither to the railroads nor the pub
lie and many radical changes will
likely be made.

PITCHFORK BEN
AFTER BONAPARTE
BECAUSE OF THE LATTER'S AN
NOUNCENENT TO SUSPEND A
PORTION OF RATE LAW RE-
QUIRING RAILROADS TO
CEASE CARRYING THEIR OWN
PRODUCTS.

Washington. d. c., Jan. 21.-Sen-
ator f1llman is going after Attorney
General Bonaparte with his famous
pitchfork, because OF the latter's an
nouncement to suspend a portion of
the rate law requiring railroads to
cease carrying coal and other min
erals produced from the mines own
ed by them after May /. Bonaparte's
announcement, however, Is not to
enforce this provision until after a
friendly suit to determine the constl-
tutionality of the law is what called
for Ti1lman's criticism, and today he
proposes to introduce a bill to in
quire into the rights OF the attorney
general to suspend an act OF con-
gress and that provision one of the
strongest parts Of the rate bill. The
railroads have had year to get rid
OF their mines and said they should
be ready"

Indianapolis. Ind. Jan. 2I.-A
gigantic strike OF coal miners. which
would in two months exhaust the
entire supply of the country and re-
suit in the greatest fuel famine ever
known in the United States. ia one
of the possible results OF the conven-
ton here OF the United Mine Work
ers OF America.
That the convention will be the
most important in the history OF the
United Mine Workers, not only to
the miners and the operators, but to
the public at large. is certain. It
will mark the retirement OF John
Mitchell. admittedly tho worlds
most influential labor leader. from
the presidency OF the organization.
and this alone is sufficient to make
the meeting memorable one.
At this convention the question
OF renewing the interstate agree
ment will be taken up, and II Is the
possible failure OF settlement OF
this problem that may bring about
the greatest tle-up of the coal min
ing industry ever known In the
United States. For many years the
miners have been attempting to Sc
cure the adoption of set day for
all agreements between the mine
workers and operators to expire. by
4 a hn
for increased pay or improved con
ditions and failing to get the desired
results, might be in a position to act
as n unit and cut of the entire coal
supply simultaneously all over the
country, thus forcing the mine
owners to meet their demands. with
a universal agreement day the pow
er of the United Mine Workers
would be doubled. The operators
realize this and will fight any at
tempt to secure it's adoption.
While both the miners and the op-
orators declare that they desire
peace, both sides are actively en-
gagged in preparing for war. and the
Significance OF these preparations is
not to be mistaken.
John Mitchell's retirement at this
time renders the situation all the
more precarious. With his firm
hand removed from the helm, there
may be breakers ahead for the
United Mine Workers. The candi-
dates for the successorship to Mitch
ell are w. b. Wilson, the present
secretary-treasurer and Thomas
Lewis, the vice presidents. While
both are familiar with the workings

, or the organization and are able
men. neither is likely to come up
to the standard set by President
Mitchell. who combined conservat-
ism with fearlessness and ability I'm
his management OF the affairs OF
the organization. That the United
Mine Workers of America has n
membership OF nearly n half-mil-
, lion and has become one of the
strongest labor unions In the world
Is largely due TO the efforts OF John
Mitchell, who built up the great
army OF underground toilers with
only n weak and inefficiently or
ganized body OF men as n nucleus.
All over the country the miners
are eagerly discussing the outcome
OF tho convention. They have heed
ed headvico of John Mitchell ana
have been boarding their money for
the struggle. The treasury of the
national organization Is dlso re-
ported to be In sound condition,
and the Golfers OF the various dis
tricts are also we'll supplied with
coin.
The operators. too. have been pre-
pairing for trouble and have quietly
perfected strong organization.
Railroad officials have been storing
coal for months past and will be
well supplied when the /st OF
strength between the miners and the
operators comes to a head.
Another vital matter OF general
public interest which will be fully
considered at the convention ls that
of the terrible disasters that have
recently occurred I'm the coal mines
OF the country. especially In West
Virginia and Pennsylvania. The OPP
orators will probably receive de-
mand to adopt measures for more
effectively safeguarding the life and
limb OF miners. The last year has
been one OF many fatalities for the
mine workers. nearly 1000 men
having lost their lives In the recent
mine horros at the Darr mine In
Connelsville, Pa, the Consolidated
mines at Monongah, w. Va. and mi
nor disasters at Belle Vernon. Tenn.
folando, Ala, and other places. In
West Virginia alone, nearly 500 men
were killed in mine disasters during
1907. Members of the United Mine
Workers declare that large proper
ton of these fatalities could have
ben prevented IL the mine owners
had taken proper precautions to that

COUNT BONI
BEFORE PARIS
CRIMINAL COURT
WILL ANSWER TO A CHARGE OF
ASSAULT PREFERRED BY HIS
COUSIN. PRINCE HELIE DIE
sAGAN.

Paris. Jan. 21.-Count Boni de
CaSteIlane. divorced husband of
Nine. Anna Gould. appeared in the
Paris criminal court today to
answer to a charge OF assault pre-
ferred by his cousin, Prince Helie de
Sagan. The latter asks one franc
as damages. Count Jean de Castel-
lane. brother of Boni, who is alleged
TO have participated In the assault on
the prince. Is not named in the suit.
Count Boni will urge in defense
that the prince gravely iBsulted him
in church and that as De Sagan is
mot a gentleman" and therefore
beyond the reach of the code OF hon
or. he was forced to seek redress
by splitting In his face and admins
tering a public threshing.
Both the prince and the count de-
nv that Nine. Anna Gould was the
cause OF their quarrel. Prince de
Sagan has been very attentive to
Nine. Gould of late and It has been
reported that they would be married
in the near future. Many believe
that this rumor was what aroused
the wrath OF the count against his
cousin. The prince was painfully.
but not seriously injured by the at
tack made upon him by the De Cas-
tellane brothers.
