FAIL TO APPROVE OF
GLADST0NE'S SELECTION
South African Newspapers Decry the
Governments Choice of Governor
General for Suh=Continent

CAPE TOWN, Jan 15.-From the
comments of certain South African
newspapers it is evident that the Sc
lection of Mr. Herbert Gladstone as
the first governor general does not
command universal approval in the
sub-continent.
The Natal Mercury declares the ap-
pointment is deplorable blunder. 'Of
all possible selections for the post we
cannot conceive a worse. We cannot
discern a single recommendation from
political and administrative points of
view that he can be supposed to pos
sess for the position.
"By fairly general consent among
home people Mr.. Gladstone is accorded
the reputation of being the weakest
member of the present Liberal cabinet
That may be good reason for inviting
him out of the ministry, but not valid
ground for sending him to South Af-
rica to occupy a post which will for
some years make unparalleled demands
upon tact, judgment, insight and
craftsmanship. The cross currents as
between parties and races at the ou+ set
of the union system will test the nerve
and diplomatic genius of the best man
the imperial government can engage

45 GRANDCHILDREN AT 50TH
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Nearly Half Hundred of Descendants
of Aged Couple Chant Mass
In Their Honor

PROVIDENCE, r. I, Jan. 21.-If
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt could have
stopped shooting bobos and other un-
cultivated creatures in Africa and have
dropped in at the ST. Louis de Con
zaga church, Woonsocket, today, he
would have seen a sight calculated to
make him shout in joy.
There in the church choir stood forty
five grandchildren of Mr.. and Mrs. An
tonic Girard, chanting a high mass
of Thanksgiving, in honor of the ff-
tieth anniversary of the marriage of
their grandparents.
The director, Miss Eva Girard, was
another grandchild, while a nine-piece
orchestra, composed Of as many more
grandchildren, played selections during
the mass. The number Of great grand
children was not recorded
Mr.. and Mrs. Girard were both born
in Canada. He is IS and his wife is
81. They were married in Nashua, n
H., fifty years ago today They came
to Woonsocket twenty-seven years
ago. Thirteen children were born tc

EXPEDITION LEAVES TO
EXPLORE RICH COUNTRY
Territory Reported to Abound with
Minerals and Gold Sought by
South African Prospectors

CAPE TOWN, Jan. 15.-According
to the Cape Argus, an expedition left
Cape Town on November 25 for Up
ington, via Prieska, its ultimate des-
tinatiOn being a certain region in the
Kalahari, which is reported to be rich
in emeralds and diamonds.
The newspaper prints a long story,
from which it appears that rumors of
a wealthy jewel field in the great des-
ert have been current for some years,
and that a man named Anderson, who
returned to England in 1890 and set
tied in Horsham, actually visited the
locality and there found diamonds,
green stones" and gold. Anderson, it
is said, spoke of an area of some sixty
square miles as being richly miner
allied, and estimated that an eXpe-
dition could be fitted up for about
$4,000. Preliminary steps were taken in
1907 for forming a syndicate to exploit
this emerald land" but circum-
stances arose which brought about the
abandonment of the scheme.
In August of last year Anderson
died. Mr.. Brunei Stevens. with whom
he had consulted concerning the syn
dicate, had several times intended tc
head an expedition, and the discovery
of diamonds in German Southwest At
rica encouraged him the more. But
it now seems that others have become
acquainted with Anderson's discov-
cries, as the departure of the Cape
Town party shows. Anderson, in {
letter to Stevens, described the spot
as surrounded by hills, the forma
ton being favorable to mineral de-
posit, rich in garnets, greensboro
limestone, the limestone entirely fill
ing the valley. There was a stream
of water running through"

STOCKMEN PROTEST
AGAINST BIG BOYCOTT
Claim That Movement Is Based on
Ignorance of General Condis
tions of the Meat
Trade

DENVER, Jan. 2t-The growing
movement to boycott meat has aroused
stockmen of the west to a protest that
the effect of the boycott will be against
the stockmen rather than against the
packers.
Tonight directors of the Western
Stock Show association, composed OF
500 western stockmen and business
men interested In live stock produc-
tion, adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, There has recently been
started in various parts of the coun-
try a movement to boycott the use OF
meats for food with the idea that such
action will result in lower prices;
Whereas, This movement is based
on ignorance as to the actual condi-
tions governing the meat supply of
this country; therefore,
Resolved By the Western Stock
Show association. that we condemn
this movement as calculated to dis
courage an increased production of
meat animals. We believe that stock
men and farmers of the United States
should be given every incentive for in
creased production rather. than dis
couragement. The present prices of
meat are caused by the increased de-
mand due to the growing population of
the country, and the low prices that
have heretofore prevailed are respon-
sible for the failure of the producer to
keep pace with the increase in the
population.
1--WE call the attention of the public
to the fact that upon the production
of live stock in a large measure de-
pends the fertility of our soil, and con-
sequently the production of agricul-
tural crops.
"With the increase of our popula-
ton it is the duty of every patriotic
citizen to encourage agriculture in
every possible way. We assert that
present prices for meats are not un-
duly high as compared with the adj
vance in price of all food products.
The present movement to boycott the
use of meat is popularly supposed to
be aimed at the packers; but in reality
it is a blow at the stockman and
farmer and is calculated to decrease
production rather than materially re-
duce prices
TT is asserted that a number of live
stock organizations are preparing to
protest and call attention to the dan
ger of depleted production which will
follow the present movement"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Represen-
tative James H, Graham Of Illinois to-
night was chosen in place of Repre-
sentative Lloyd of Missouri as the sec
ond democratic representative on the
congressional committee to investigate
the interior department and the for
estry service. Ollie James of Ken
tucIy is the other Democrat already
chosen.
Graham's selection was made at a
caucus. He was nominated by Mr..
Clayton of Alabama and the nomina-
ton was made unanimous.
Speaker Cannon had paved the way
for this action by ruling, Just before
the house adjourned, that a member
of that body could not be forced to
serve on a committee against his will.
This sustained the resignation Of MI.
Lloyd.
The caucus occupied several hours,
and there was occasional belligerent
talk.
Several members criticised President

ing to dictate the party's action on the
committee.
Mr.. Elerbc of South Carolina Of
fered a resolution that the Democratic
party should not submit to Republican
dictation
Mr.. Richardson of Alabama and
others spoke along that line. But
Leader Clark and Mr.. Underwood of
Alabama, aided by other members,
counseled moderation suggesting in a
general way that it was the Republi-
can party's politics and that it would
be best to act conservatively.

der in Public Resort
Associated Pressl

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Jan. 21.-1n
report that scathingly rebuked efforts
Ia liberate Harry X. Thaw from the
Matteawan asylum, the special COM
mittee of the State Bar association on
the commitment and discharge of the
criminal insane today recommended to
the thirtv-third annual meeting Of the
New York State Bar association the
amendment of the habeas corpus law.
1t is recommended the amendment be
made so a person in a private insane
ASYLUM may ask for the writ at any
time and without support afidavits,
but a person confined in any state hos
pitaI for the insane or a state hospital
for insane criminals, or a state hospital
for insane convicts, may make applica-
tion for a writ Of habeas corpus only
ON a written verified petition accom-
panied by a certificate made under oath
bv two qualified medical examiners in
lunacy.
The report continues, in part:
ITO emphasize the need for this
remedy, reference should be made 10 a
well known case which has been in the
public eye for a long time where muir
defeT, UdNlLB GSCtipSO b4o SOi4SN "A ~''
of his crime by the plea of insanity,
is trying to escape the consequences OF
his crime by means of continuous
performance in habeas corpus.
Inherited AbnornaIity of Mind
"A youthful debauchee of great
wealth, inheriGng an abnormality of
mind likely to develop into hOmicidal
acts. leading @ debased and ignoble
life, commits a foul and cowardly mur-
der in a public resort.
"If he were sane there could be no
escape from the penalty Of death. His
only defense is insanity. After a long
and seemingly needless delay he is
brought to a trial, which degenerates
into a disgraceful farce and a con-
fused jury finds itself unable to agree
"A second trial, conducted properly
and with dignity, results in a verdict
of acquittal on the ground of insanity
and the prisoner is sent to state asy-
lum for the criminal insane. From this
he plans to get free on successive writs
of habeas corpus.
$50 forgetful is the murderer's family
to its duty to society, its obligation tC
uphold the law, it aids and abet the
plot, and instead of leaving him to his
fate, as 1t is it's duty as citizens to do
it claims, forcooth, he is an object o.
persecution.
"It is a mere question Of time anC
money when this particular murderel
will be set free to direct his homicida
inclinations against some other citize1
who already has fallen, or hereafter
may come under his displeasure. AnC
everything done is according to the

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan, 21.-Tbe
delivery of the Russian and Japanese
answers to the note of Secretary Knox
proposing the naturalization Of the
Manchurian railways, both Of which
were in the negative, marks merely
the beginning Of protracted negotia-
tions to determine the future status
of Manchurla
The proposals for the purchase of
the existing railroads in Manchuria
as formulated by Secretary Knox is
considered here to have been put for
ward largely with the idea of getting
Russian and Japanese governments on
record, since the rejection of the pro-
posal was foreordained from the mo-
ment Japan was included in it,
The tenor Of the memorandum in
dicated that Mr.. Knox did not expect
any acceptance Of his proposition, but
had based hopes on an alternative pro-
posal for the naturalization Of the
Chin Chow Aigun and the future rail-
roads and for building up a powerful
organization that would be in position
to support China when the date of the
optional repurchase, 1899, arrived.
The foreign Office here has been
most keen to ascertain further details
concerning the Chin Chow Aigun rail-
way proposal.
The foreign Office repeatedly has
sounded Mr.. Rockhill, American am
bassador, concerning this proposal, not
so much to learn the general finan-
cial arrangement, since that admitted
ly is based on the Han Kow- Mukden
scheme, but to learn whether the line
north of Tsitsihar would be abandoned
and whether Russias special inter
ests would be recognized in the build
ing and operation of the mountain
sections Of the railroad.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-From returns re-

various parties in the general elections
follows:
Unionists, 1874: Liberals, 159; Labor
ties 81; NatiOnalists, 5S.
Gains-unionists, 81; Liberals, 10;
Laborites, 1.
From returns announced OF To-Day S
voting, the Unionists gained ten seats
and the Liberals none.
In tOdays polling Reginald Mckenna,
first lord of the admiralty, was returned
victorious over e. G. M. Carmichael,
Unionist, for Abergavenny, Monmouth
shire. and William Abraham, Laborite,
was reelected for Rhonnda Valley by
1865.
The political tides continue to trend
toward Conservatism. Forty-eight con-
stituencies declared their choice today,
and positions of the opposing armies to-
night are practically where they were
last night with the Tories slowly fore
ing the Radicals backward.
There is hardly a question that the

ment, and that it will be a critical and
exciting session.
