FIRE BREAKS AFRESH
CARGO OF COTTON IS BURNING AGAIN.
Unlees 9ames Ia Steamer Matteawan Cnn Be Stopped With Steam Bales VIII Re Un-
 loaded

Pensacola. Fla. Jan. 20.-(Special. ) Fire broke out again today in the cotton cargo of the steamer Mattea- wan lying in harbor, and from all appearances 1t Is raging now as flerce- Fly as when 1t was first discovered.
 About 300 bales were removed this morning, all of which were badly dam aged by fire. The heat became so in- tense. however, that it was impossi- ble for the workmen to continue fur ther. so the matches were again bat tened down and steam Is being forced into the cargo.
 It Is now believed that almost the entire cargo will have to be unloaded and 1t Is feared that 1t Is badly dam aged already and greater loss will re- suit unless the fire can be extinguished.

Nashville, Tenn, .-
 veto of Governor Pau
 houses of the Legislature today p.
 the Senate bill No. l. which prohiL the sale of intoxicating liquors within four miles of a school house in Ten. nessee and is in effect a Statewide pros hibition act. It is effective July l. 1909.
 The vote in the Senate which cams at 2:45 o'clock p. my stood 20 to 1ss the same as on original passage.
 The House acted at $40 D. m. the vote standing si to 3s. the original vote there having been s2 to s7. In each house the passage was effected throughout a combination Of Republi- can and state wide Democratic strength.
 The galleries were packed in both houses and the debates following the reading of the Governors message were bitter. In the Senate. Mir. Lane Of Williamson County, was particularly stringent in his attack on the Governof. He declared that the veto message contained an ingenious aslander on the manhood and womRnhood and the Leg islature of the State.
 The action of the Legislature today practically brings to q close one of the bitterest and most sensational po- iitical fights in the history of Tennes- see.
 Statewide prohibition was the main issue in the recent contest between Governor Patterson and the late E. w. Carmack for the Democratic guberna- torial nomination. and though Patter- son. who advocated local option. won the nomination, the Legislature elected in November last at the same time he was. has, after stormy scenes gone against him. This came, however, with the aid of Republicans. who gave the bill twenty two votes in the House and
 five in the Senate.
 Carmack, after his defeat for fhe nomination. continued the fight for Nashville Tennesseean. Of which he was editor. and to the hltterneaa al | thia campni6n Is directly nSkTzbntahil 1 the street duei in wfiich the fofmnr senator lost his left on the streets hers Nov 2, last. A coincidence in con- nection Is the beginning today of the trial of Col. D. kB. Cooper. Robin J. Cooper and John D. Sharpe, charged with Carmack's murder. The bill to prohibit the manufacture of intoxicating liquors fin Tennessee after July 1, 1910, has passed the Sem ate and will probably pass the House tomorrow morning.
 The Governor, 1t Is conceded. will veto this bill also. and It Is equally certain 1t will pass over his veto by practically the same vote given the bill passed today.

Tokfo Jan. 2O.--The nature of the matter cabIed from Japan, quoting the Japanese sensationalist press in regard to the anti-Japanese bills presented to the State Legislature In California, is arouslng the indignation of leading newspapsrs and American residents in Japan who assert that the expressions sent out were taken from the columns of the least responsible newspaper in Japan whose real character is not un- derstood in the United States.
 It is declared also that this was done Intentionally and that the articles are calculated toe oere-arouse feelings of bit- terness on both sides of the Pacinc ocean. The leading newspapers-e de- nounce what they term an effort to create international unfriendliness. An official of the foreign office. speaking to the Associated Press said:
 We are absolutely convinced that the people of the State of California and of the United Atates will always act fairly toward Jpan."
 Ambassador oBrf h was guest of honor at a dinner given by-Forelgn Minister Komura today and conversed at length with the Foreign Minister re- Garding the entire situation. Both said afterward that their informal conver- sation was eminently satisfactory.
 Ambassador o'Brien's activity Is having a favorable effect in influencing the situation in the direction of friend Illness between the two nations
 The Hochi, one of the extreme sensa- tional newspapers, has addressed an open letter to the American Ambassa- dor. .stne terms of which are inoffensive but the tone insolent. All of the bet ter class of newspapers condemn The Hochi's course and speak in the high est terms of Ambassador O'Brien.
 The Jiji says this morning.:
 "Evidently the American people are misled by unscrupulous correspondents for American newspapers. The leading thought of Japan, however, does not regard the action of a few people in California as representing the real at- titude of eithen California or the Uni ted States. We have politics of our own" ---s'

 Referring to the financial condition of the empire he said especial atten- tion was being paid toward balancing the expenditures of the nation with the known receipts.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 20.-Thes ef- ferts of President Roosevelt to block anti-Japanese measures were not re- ceived with much favor by the legisla- tcks here today.
 Grove l.. Johnson, who introduced acting as directors of corporations, was only defiant and asserted that he would do all he could to push the anti-Japa- nese measures Senator Sanford, the leader of the Democratic caucus, called the inteffer- ence of the President impotence and asserted that California Is quite cap able of taking care of its own affairs.

 From Governor Gillette's attitude it is generally believed that no anti-Jap- anese legisiation can possibly escape his veto.
 By vote of 4s to s4 the Assembly decided to hold up all anti-Japanese legisaation until next Wednesday morn InGs
 ,2 Concern in washingt0n.
 Washington, Jan.ss 2o-While such as- suranse. as have come from represent Ing Pacific -coast men regarding the tmprobability Of any legislation in California adverse to the Japanese have undeniablys done much to relieve the apprehension that existed in ad- ministration circles. it is a fact that deepest concern exists as to the future. z Nothing that has happened in Con- gress or elsewhere recently has so absorbed the attention of the President and of Secretary Root as the threaten ed anti-Japanese legislation in Cali xornia.
 < It was impossible for the president dn his letter to Governor Gauette to tell all of the reasons that influenced him in making the vigorous and ufi- precedented protest he did against such action by the California legisia- ture. He did develop the fsct that under the Hgreenasnk reached two years ago betweesn America and Japan not only had Japanese ffnmigfation into America largely decre&asJ, stssis Aisp that there had been AA Actual redne- kion in the number of Japanese resi- nents in this country. But he could not say that the projected California anti Japanese 1eEislation would undoubted- Sy cause the Japanese government to relax the efforts which it is now hon. sstly making to restrict coolie immi- Rrati0n to America. yet that thought was in the mind of the administra- tion.

SUFFERED FOR
| TWENTY YEARS
A Kansas Woman, Cured OF
| Chronic Rheumatism, Recon-.
mends the Treatment
That Cured Her.

Pure, red blood is the body's only de-
fence against disease. When healthy,
the blood attacks the poisons c. disease
and so changes them that they can be
thrown off through the lungs, skin, kid
neys and bowels. In fact this is what
the blood is constantly doing and dis
ease occurs only when the blood becomes
impure through errors in living, such as
overwork, worry lack of fresh air or of
nourishing food. 1t is then unable to
overcome the poisons and they are carried
throughout the body and in the weakest
organs the disease gains a foothold.
The tonic treatment aims TO build up
the blood, drive out the impurities and
enables it to do the work Of preserving
the normal health of the body that
nature intended for it.
1t was this tonic treatment with DR..
Williams Pink Pills that cured Mrs. ].
W. Tennyson, of Uniontown, Kansas. of
rheumatism She says:
Il suffered for about twenty years
with rheumatism in my limbs and with
pains through the small Of my back.
When the pains We're the worst. could
not stoop over. could not get any rest
at sill without taking opiates. I was
restless and out of sorts and could not
do my work was frequently confined
to bed for two or three days at time.
Il was treated by two doctors but re-
ceived little relief. 1 also tried different
remedies. hniments and bathed my
feet and limbs in hot water but nothing
cured me. I had read about DR.. Viii
lams' Pink Pills and thought l would
give them trial. They gave me new
blood and was soon able to get around
and do my work Il am in good health
now and recommend DR. Williams
Pink Pills to other sufferers from this
disease
Nature needs some help in most cases
in fighting disease and the tonic treat
ment with DR. Williams Pink Pills is
the most efficient that can be given
They contain no stimulant. opiare or
narcotic and cannot injIue the most
delicate constitution.
