Declares ArchboId Story Told
to Senate Committee Is a
Deliberate faIseh00d.
COLONEL'S REPLY BITTER
Charactsrizes the Statement
as a Wicked Assault on
a Dead Man."

0yhter Bay, n. " Aug. 24.-Colonel
Roosevelt issued statement in which
he characterlzes as deliberate and
malicious falsehoods" the sensa tional
charges brought against him by Sena-
tor Penrose before the senate commit
tee investigating campaign contribu-
lions and in the testimony given by
John D. Archbold before that body.
Colonel Roosevelt reviewed every
phase Of the testimony given by Mr..
Archbold and pictured the conditions
under which 1t had been given as a
'frameup." To the newspaper men
gathered on his porch the coldnel die
tated the statement which was termi-
mated only by the falling darkness.
Colonel Roosevslt's Reply.
In part Colonel Roosevelt's reply is
as follows:
In the first place, wish to call atten-
ton to the fact that even II MIR. Arch
holds statements are true they amount
only to saying, so far as l am concerned.

pure hearsay statement, which was In

one moment believe that Mr.. Archbold s
testimony Ia truthful. He apparently pos

ADJOURNMENT
NOW IN SIGHT
Congress Has Broken All
Records for Time.

Washington, August 24.-The end
of the second session Of the 62d
congress, the longest national legis-
lative term in generation, was IN
sight today. The few congressman
and senator's who have stuck bravely
to the last hour, we're today packing
up and getting their affairs In shape
for the final getaway. After e. few
days rest, the majority of them will
make haste to their homes and the
primaries, to align their constitu-
ents and mend their fences for the
November election.
BY the time congress next meets
it may be that many of the members
will have lost their seats. Many re-
turned with the knowledge that they
must fight hard to retain their places
and many others with the knowledge
that they are doomed to almost cer-
tain defeat. Among the old time reg
ulars who must fight hard in Novem-
ber are "Uncle Joe" Cannon, Minor
ity Leader Mann, S. e. Payne and
Representative Fordney, of Michigan.
The veteran John Dalzell and Minor
ity Whip John w. Dwight, of New
York, have announced that they will
not be candidates for reelection.
Senate Marking Time.
The senate marked time waiting
for the House today, about the first
time this session that the upper
House had been ahead of the lower
body. Practically the only routine
legislation remaining to be acted up
on when the senate met was the
conference report on the general de-
fciency bill.
When the House met today at II
O. clock only the threat of Repre-
sentative Murdoch, of Kansas, to
conduct fillibuster against the con-
ference report Of the postoffice ap-
bill stood in the way of
adjournment this afternoon. 1t
was confidently predicted that
Murdoch would recede from the point
Of no quorum which he made last
evening In an effort to defeat a sec
ton in the report giving the St. Louis
Terminal Company $4,000 a year
for the transportation of the United
States mail across the Mississippi
river at St. Louis.
House Agrees to Bill.
Immediately after convening at 10
o'clock today the House agreed to
the conference report on the post
office appropriation bill. The threat
ened flllibuster Of Representative
Murdock did not materialize. Muir
dock only voiced his protest against
the appropriation of the mail trans
fer by voting against the conference
report. The bill was Immediately
sent to the President.

Washington, Aug. 24:-Just when
and how the Clapp investigation com
mittee will seek further light on the
Penrose-Roosevelt issue of veracity
was to be threshed out at meeting
of the committee Senator Clapp said
he expected either to call a formal
meeting or to sound out his col
leagues informally as to their desires
In the matter.
Senator Penrose demanded that
Colonel Roosevelt and George, B.
Cortelyou be summoned for Cross eX-
animation as to his statements that
both knew of the s125,000 Standard
Oil contribution to the Republican
campaign in 1904 and in view of their
published statements passing the lie
to Penrose. John d. Archbold sug-
gested the possibility that other di-
rectors of the oil trust might confirm
his story of the oil monopolys de-
termination to support the Republia-
en- national committee and of what
alleges was the betrayal by Roosevelt
and the persecution by the adminis-
tration, because, he said, the Stand
ard Oil did not come across with an
addition contribution.

Ago in Iowa.

Boone, Iowa.-Kate Shelly, heroine
of the Honey creek flood disaster in
1881, died Sunday at her home, quar-
ter of mile from Moingona bridge,
across the Des Moines river, the scene
of her heroic deed.

Miss Shelly, who was station agent at
Moingona, crossed the bridge over the
Des Moines river on her hands and
knees at midnight to flag passenger
train on the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad to save it from plunging into
Honey creek, over which the bridge
had been washed away.

from the railroad, as well as many con
tributions from various parts of the

FOREIGN POWERS MAY
INTERVENE IN CHINA
Abdication of Throne Would Cause
Great Strife in Northern Provinces.

Peking.-It is unlikely the foreign
powers will permit the latest demands
of the republicans, which include the
abdication of the throne and the sur
render of its sovereign powers, the ex-
clusion of the Manchus from participa-
ton in the provisional government until
the republic has been recognized, to be
fulfilled without protest. 1t is even
possible there will be Intervention.
Should the throne comply with the
republican ultimatum and abdicate
without delegating any authority over
the northern provinces the foreign lega-
tons here fear chaos will ensue and
foreign lives will be endangered in the
interim between /abdication and the ex
tension of the republican administration
to the north, supported by sufficient
army to suppress the Manchu troops
and people.

Peking.-A special train is held in

mier's plan to transfer the provisional
capital to that city, where the danger
from Manchus was Slight. Apparently
he intended to escape from Picking as
soon as the edict of abdication was
signed, but the reactionary processes
gained the upper hand temporarily and
prevented the issuance of the edict.

J. J. HILLS IMMIGRATION IDEAS
Favors Central Colonization Bureau to
Aid in Developing Northwest.

st. Paul, Minn.-In a statement
issued from the offices of the North
western Development league James j.
Hill, chairman of the Great Northern
railroad, advocates the strengthening of
the organization, cooperation of the
northwest states and establishment of a
central colonization or immigration
bureau to aid in the development and
settling of the American Northwest.
The statement from Mr.. Hill is a DOW
erful Endorsement of the movement
started in Helena, Mont, last May,
when the Northwest Development
league was organized.
"The states of this league spend
enough separately on immigration prof
ects to bring in several times as many
people each year as they gain, but
considerable portion of it is devoted to
enticing settlers from one of them to
another" says Mr.. Hill. The states in
the league are Minnesota, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Washington, Oregon and the territory
of Alaska.

The Hecla Mining company, operating
the mine of that name at Burke, Idaho,
Saturday paid dividend No. 103. 1t was
of 2 cents the share, or $4,000 in all.
Total dividends to date amount to

The lower tunnel on the properties of
the United Lead Mining company, near
Osburn, Idaho, which is more than 1000
feet long and cut the ledge two months
ago, has been continued as drift on
the vein for 80 feet, showing a streak
from one to eight inches wide of fair
grade galena ore.
Frank Sylvester, a non-union miner,
was Shot and seriously wounded soon
after leaving the railroad station at La
fayette, Cal, Sunday. He said that the
bullet was fired by one of three union
pickets, who accosted him and two 9th
er nonunion men with whom he was
returning from trip to Denver.
The recent strike in the new lower
tunnel of the Stewart mine, near Kel-
logg, Idaho, is proving to be one of the
most important and significant ever
made in the Occur 'Alenes. 1t already
has proved the ore body at a depth of
$50 feet to be unusually wide and much
higher in grade than the mine run from
the upper workings.

the foreman of the union wrecking
crew of the coal corporations of Pitts
burg" Francis Feehan, president of the

Gibbons, Abe Keppert and James Sa-

"Two big mines and a number of
small ones already have been proved at
Porcupine, Ont, says Samuel J. Doble,
discoverer of the silver camp of Cow
ganda and pioneer in Porcupine. "The
big properties are the Big Dome and
the Hollinger, both of which are devel-
oped to depth of more than 200 feet
by shafts, drifts and crosscuts and thor
oughly explored by diamond drilling to
a depth of 700 feet. Each has in sight
an immense tonnage of free milling ore
of an average value of $40 ton"
