FAMINE FOLLOWS CIVIL
STRIFE I'M NICARAGUA
Red Cross Orders Foodstuffs Sent
From Panama TO Corinto to Re-
lieve the Starving.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The Red
Cross has come to the aid of the starv-
ing people of Nicaragua. famine hav-
ing been added to the horrors of
civil war in that republic, and food
stuffs to the amount of $1,000 will
be shipped from Panama to Corinto
by the steamer Justin at once.
The Justin is the vessel which has
been ordered to transport $50 maxines
to Corinto to be marched to Managua.
The purchase of the supplies from the
government at Panama was the quick
est way to send relief to the starving
Nicaraguans.
The dispatches to the state and
navy departments show that the re
public is in a state of anarchy md Of
utter helplessness. Nicaragua has
been unable to borrow any money
since her efforts to get it from the
United States failed. Her debts to
foreign nations are still unpaid and
there seems to have been no way of
paying them except by a loan from
the United States.
The efforts Of Captain Terhune of
the Annapolis, who is in command Of
the military situation. are being di-
rected principally TO keeping in
touch with his hundred men who we're
sent to NIanagua to protect the lives
of Americans from anti-American
outbreaks. He reports that the
courier service to Managua which
was aided to some extent by railway
transportation for a part of the way
from that city to the coast has been
rendered less safe because of the
total cessation OF work on the rail-
road.

The Beveridge speech was the feat
ure of the first days session The In
diana man was assisted at the birth
Of the new party by Senator Dixon Of
Montana, chairman of the provisional
national committee of the national
Progressive party.
at 12:45 p. N.
Dixon Gets First Applause.
Senator Dixon, in his opening
speech, got the first ripple Of applause
when he declared more representative
delegates we're seated in this than in
any convention ever held. He referred
to the dual sets of delegates sent CIV
ing one-half a vote to each He was
interrupted in his speech when some
one in the gallery shouted: 'Hurrah

The delegates stood up and yelled.
The applause was of short duration
and the call for the convention was
read

H. Funk of Illinois, third ticket candi-
date for governor of Illinois.
THE Progressive party stands for
a nobler America" was his first SEN

dience. 1t was renewed when he said:
I'VE stand for mutual helpfulness
instead of mutual hatred"
When he declared the Progressive
party was going to set the south men
free from sectionaIism the delegates
stood up and yelled
1.-The Progressive party motto is to
pass prosperity around" declared Mr.
Beverage, and he again set his audit
ors on edge This thrust at the old sys-
ten went home to the assemblage:
AT the present moment notorious
bosses are in the saddle Of both old
parties in various important states

dent. This black horse cavalry is the
most important force in the practical

SEEKING LOCATION
Of ILLICIT STILLS
moonshiners Said to Operate
in Northern Wisconsin.
GOVERNMENT ON THE TRAIL
Search for Sidna Allen in This State
Uncovered Suspicious Circumstan-
ces Among Colony of Southerners
indians Get Corn Whiskey..

Milwaukee-That the wilds of
northern Wisconsin have suggested
themselves as ideal spots for moon
shining and that illicit distiIling of
liquor is believed to be going on
there is the admission of Capt. J. B.
Mccoy, special revenue agent here.
The theory that moonshining is
practiced in Wisconsin was evolved
recently when it became known that
colonies of southernCrs had settled
in some of the northern counties,
most notably in Langlade and Forest.
The settlements, ii is pointed out,
consist chiefly of people from the
mountain regions of Virginia and
other southern states and, as it viii
be remembered, the government re-
Gently sent its search for the famous
Virginia outlaw. Sidna Allen, into
this state.
1t was during the expeditions of
government sleuths into the tangle
of the northern forests, it is claimed,
that the first tips were gotten on
moonshining in Wisconsin.
1t is also known that Indians on
the northern reservations, for months
past, have been experiencing little
difficulty in procuring whisky. This
it is said, is a corn product.
The similarity of the whisky
found in the possession of Indians to
that distilled by the southern reve-
nue. dodgers, planted suspicion in the
minds of many. 1t is intimated that
arrests may be made soon
About four years ago several
moonshiners were arrested in the vi
entity of Crandon by local federal
authorities and brought to MiIwau-
kee for trial.

The women members Of the presi-

The holocaust has thrown all Hayti

Relations with the Santo Domingo

months and General Leconte was re

DEMONSTRATION fer RnInnnI

ovation when he briefly expressed his
appreciation of the honor.
Demonstration for Colonel.
Before a vast audience of riotous,
enthusiastic followers Colonel Roose-
welt Tuesday presented his new po-
litical creed. It was an epoch-mak-
ing speech, marking a new era in the
political, and perhaps the economical,
history of the country
The scenes attending the arrival
and reception Of Colonel Roosevelt at
the Coliseum were Of remarkable in
terest. Seemingly everyone knew that
the occasion was historical
1t was a personal greeting such as
has been given to few men in public
assemblies. For one hour the demon
stration continued.
1t began with a long, western yell,
and dropped into steady eastern
roar, which continued, interspersed
with songs, parades, state cheers and
paTodies on hymns for the better part
of the hour,
A more colorful scene has been
rarely Witnessed. The great hall was
sea of waving bandanna handker-
chiefs. Roosevelt, himself, had one
almost as big as a tablecloth, which
he shook in recognition of the cheers.
The building was crowded.
Is Real Pleased.
Far from showing dispIeasure, or
trying to stop the noise, the colonel
was as delighted as a football hero in
a college game He waved to every
corner of the hall, and his teeth
cleaned in a pleased recognition of
the ovation.
The cheering started at 1882 and at
1 o'clock it was still too loud to allow
the business to proceed. Instead, a
march Of the states began.
Ohio, New York, Missouri and Penn
sylvania, in the order named, started
a march to the platform with their
state banners and markers. Other
states fell into line and it seemed
something must give way the way
they crowded and surged about the
very front of the speakers stand. Ari-
IONA, Montana, Iowa and Georgia were
/ in the front and Delaware, Virginia
and Colorado were crowding them.
The band at the back of the hall
stroye to play. Perhaps it did. The
snare drummer had a revolver and he
could be seen shooting from time to
time. But the other efforts of the
band that came in with the Roosevelt
parade were lost. They worked and
worked, but it did not do any good. It
was all lost IN a volume of shouts.
While the demonstration was at it's
height a woman, borne on the shout
ders Of two stalwart delegates, was
taken past the press stand and in
front of the speakers stand.
The woman was Mrs. Ferdinand

the moose could be heard as the I'M
dertone Of the basis OF the noisy dem.
onstration.
As the singing died down, the We
Want Teddy" yell, the key OF the long
demonstration for Roosevelt at the Re
publican convention, broke forth and
kept up in all parts Of the building.
1t beat in increasing volume and
regular rhythm against a background
OF other sounds that seemed to make
it more distinct
Miss Jane Adams, Illinois delegate
at large, was lifted TO the speakers
stand. AS she appeared there was
renewed burst Of cheers and Roosevelt
stepped from the moose pen in
which he had been standing. and
strobe forth to meet her
For % minutes the shouting had en-
dured. The delegates began to get
hoarse. Their voices played out ahead
Of their enthusiasm and there was
session of whistling. Then the crowd
returned to song.
John Browns Body" was the air
again.
They sang it slowly, but there was
plenty Of vim in the singing.
Beverdge Calls for Order.
Ex-senator Beveridge stepped TO the
moose pen" beside Roosevelt. He evil
IDENTIFY thought the time had come
when it might be possible to hear
RooseveIt's speech. The crowd did
not think so. The noise came back
A few delegates took the stand.
They were greeted with a hapdshake
and smile The women in the dele
cation were led to the stand. All the
women with the California delegation
went to the stand 1t was a signal for
more cheers.
At last the colonel began to speak,
and the audience settled back with
breathless interest.
The speech was followed with close
attention and was frequently interrupt
ed with outbursts of cheering.
New Party Launched.
The national Progressive party was
launched in the Coliseum here Mon
day when the followers of Colonel
Roosevelt held their first national con-
vention. Albert ]. Beverage, former
United States senator from Indiana,
was chosen temporary chairman and
made the keynote speech. He criti-
cised the Republican and Democratic

70 GUIDE THE YOUNG LOVER
Wise Man Has Very CG1siderateiy
Laid Down Certain Rules to Be
Remembered.

When you discover a serious liking
TO a young woman never discourse
your passion to her by way Of letter.
It win either give the woman an idea
that you are g bashfuI BOBBY or that
you have not any address in converse
zion; both Of which defects are sufh-
Gent to ruin you in the estimation OF
only telerable good sense.
At the time Of your courtship be
careful never to discourse with the
woman upon serious subjects, or mat
tiers that are not Immediately peril
nent to the purpose you are upon. II
she asks you what news. you must not
tell her a long story out of the Dutch
or English gazettes about the decline
of trade, and fall Of stocks, or the
death of Mynheer Van der Postum
She looks for no such answers. You
must relate q melancholy tale Of two
or three young gentlemen Of fortune
and handsome expectations that have
lately drowned themselves in the
Schuykill or thrown themselves head
long from their third-story windows

pavement for the sake Of a certain
memorable fair one whose name you
cannot recoIlect; but the beauty and
shafts Of whose eyes these poor young
gentlemen could not possibly with
stand. Such intelligence as this will
instantly put her into good humor.
Have a care that you do not poster
her with descriptions of the Alps, the
Apennines. and the River Pc. 4 wOm-
an is not supposed to know anything
OF such matters; besides, you must be
a very cold lover If those far-fetched
things can command your attention a
moment in the company of a fine
woman. Whatever she believes proper
10 assert, 1t is your business to de-
fend, and prove to be true. II she
says black is white, 1t is not for men
IN your probationary situation to con-
fradict her. On the contrary, you
must swear and protest that she is
right; and in demonstrating It, be
cautious Of using pedantic arguments
making nice logical distinctions, or
affecting hard and unintelligible
terms.-From Philip Frenau's Essays.

1903 GERMAN MINERS ARE DEAD.
Explosion of Firedamp and Dust Traps
$50 in Coal Shaft

Explosion of Firedannp and Dust Traps
$50 in Coal Shaft.
Bochum, Germany, Aug. 1O.-One
hundred and three miners lost their
lives in the Lorraine shaft of the
coal field In the village of Gerthe,
four miles from here, by an explosion
of black damp and coal dust on
Thursday
Two others were severely and %
slightly injured Death was practical
ly instantaneous in all cases. The
cause of the explosion has not yet
been definitely ascertained, but it is
thought that a blast reached a big
pocket of gas.
The emperor, who is now at Essen,
