ASKS T. R. TO VISIT WEST
"come Home by Way Of Pacific
Coast" Invitation Of St. Louis
and Other Cities.

Denver, Colorado. A movement
was started in Denver which will in
clude all cities from Chicago to the
Pacific Coast and as far south as St..
Louis to send an invitation to former
President Roosevelt to return to
America when he concludes his hunt
ing trip in Africa.
Philosophical lei in Denver are
so enthusiastic over the proposition
that they have already offered to sub
scribe a sum Of money sufficient to
send a message or a committee OF
citizens from the western citEs to
Khartoun to meet Mr.. Roosevelt on
his arrival there, and formally invite
him to return to America by way Of
the Pacific coast.
There is every reason to believe
that Mr.. Roosevelt will accept II the
invitation comes from all sections Of
the west.

WORKED OLD TRICK

New England Mill Boss Clients Well
Well Served by Republican SEN

Was Framed Up.

The scheme of changing classified

clearly informed of their sugar Joker"
When the Aldrich-Taft tariff was
under discussion at Washington the
sugar trust had Just compromised for
large sum of money one charge Of
theft and another of conspiracy. Yet
Mr.. Aldrich and Mr.. Boutell Disregard
ed this and took especial pains to pro-
tect an admitted thief at the expense
of the American people. Their trick
is contained in section ZIG of the Aid
rich-Taft tariff.
The cheat framed up by these gen.
tlemen lies in the standard fixed as
the dividing line between various quail
tiles of highly dutiable sugar and
sugar which is taxed lightly. This
standard is fixed by color as mo. is
Dutch" a scale that has been out Of
use for half a century. To give 1t a
scientific appearance a lot of polari-
scope tests are also provided. /
mo. 16 Dutchp is a sugar so black
that it cannot be used for any purpose
without refining. Therefore the high
tariff applies to all sugar imports.
This is the reason why the brown

available at low prices to the poor.
who are forced to use the product of
the sugar trust and contribute to it's
inordinate profits.
Does anyone imagine that such
tricks are the honest outcome of hon
est l%aw-making? Does anyone doubt
that these fraudulent tariff schedules
were devised and written by sugar
trust lawyers and incorporated into
the tariff by the trusts tools in the
senate and house Of representatives?

New England Gets Northeaster.

Boston, Mass.-Winter swept into
New England on the wings of a north

gale drove a tide into Massachusetts
Bay, which nearly equaled that OF the

Frustrated wires, telephone, tele-
graphic, electric light and trolley and
railroad trains were stalled.
Three persons lost their lives in
Everett and Chelsea by the sudden
rise of the tide. From midnight the
storms destructive powers were un-

center was somewhere off Nantucket,
but the gale swept over the greater
portion of New England and was ac-

STORM PARALYzEs

GREATEST SNOWFALL IN TEN
YEARS STALLS ALL TRAINS
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
NEW YORK CITY IS HARD HIT
Street Cars Stick in Drifts and Pas
seneers Are Held All Night
N~ortheaster Sweeps New Eng
land States.

New York City.-The terrific wind
and snow storm which began at IL
o'clock Saturday afternoon and con-
tinued all of Saturday afternoon and
Saturday night, increasing in violence
after midnight Saturday, continued
until about noon Sunday. The storm
gradually wore itself out and Sunday
afternoon the skies cleared and the
temperature took a drop at night. In
the meantime the city lies under a
mantle of snow more than a foot deep
in places and the wind is still high.
The storm was genera throughout
the state.
Trains from the south and west were
hit HARDEST by the storm, service in
these directions being practically cut
off all day, while the upstate and
Canadian trains were from one to
three hours behind their schedules.
One Hundred Spend Night in Car.
There were many unique features in
connection with the storm. A four-car
train on the Bath Beach line of the
Brooklyn Rapid transit, up from Coney
Island, bucked a snowdrift with its
hundred passengers, for nine hours
and a half. Brooklyn Rapid Transit
men did their best to help the stalled
cars, but what trains they were able
to send in relief, got stuck in the
same snowbank. The passengers man
aged to keep themselves warm.
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit COM
pany was hit harder by the storm than
at any time in recent years. The
young blizzard came so suddenly and
viciously that the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit people were caught unpr&-
pared to handle the problem.
A trolley car on the Flatbush
avenue line was caught near Lincoln
road and the eight persons who were
in it spent the night trying to keep
warm in the stalled car.
Four big locomotive snow plows
were put to work on the elevated
roads and did a lot Of good work
within the city itself, but in the
county the elevated lines were as
badly off as the trolleys. There they
run on the level ground and the drifts
tangled up the four and five car trains
as completely as the single trolley
cars.

Bluefields, via wireless to Colon
Generals Chamarro, Mena, Fernoe,

capture or humiliation is confidently
predicted as it is o%utnumbered by the
revolutionists, and the latter are in
far better fighting shape.
More than 300 wounded soldiers and
several hundred captlves have been
brought to Bluefields. The condition Of
the captives is proof that the govern
ment soldiers are in a bad way physi-
cally. Those who have arrived here
are ragged, sick and half-starved. They
say the whole army is in the same
condition.
The death list in the Rama battle
will undoubtedly reach 300, two-thirds
of whom were government soldiers.
Twice this number are wounded.
Among the wounded was Gen. Matuty.
The total number killed since the
war began will run between 800 and
1000, and OF the strength of this esti-
mate another appeal will be made to
the United States to intervene "in hui
