Standard oil Co.'s Head just Before

Oyster Bay, N Y, Aug 27.-To re-
bold concerning his knowledge of an
alleged contribution of 100000 by
Mr. Archbold to the Republican cam
paign fund of 1904, Col Theodore
Roosevelt announced Sunday that he
wanted to go before the senate COM

buttons.

said in commenting on Mr.. Archbold' s
testimony and his departure for Eu-
rope, that Mr. Archbold should de-
part without testifying about the $685.

most peculiar thing that the commit

A report that Mr.. Archbold had In
timated before sailing from New York
that he might sue Colonel Roosevelt
for libel was mentioned.
"All right Colonel Roosevelt re-
piled. HE will have a chance after l
have testified" and then, with slow
emphasis. IF Archbold sues he will
have an enjoyable time"
Colonel Roosevelt got no direct
word from Senator Clapp in response
to his telegraphed request for per
mission to appear before the investi-
eating committee, but he did learn,
through his campaign secretary in
New York, o. K. Davis, that the COM
mittee would not be able to hear him
before October 1.
New York, Aug. 27.-'1 am not a
liar, l am not accustomed TO being so
accused, and will net endure it light
ly."
Just before he sailed for Europe
Saturday this statement was read by
John ID. Archbold to interviewers.
This he said was all he has to say at
present in answer to Col Theodore
Roosevelt's sweeping denials of the
testimony given by Mr.. Archbold to
the senate committee investigating
campaign contributions.

Campaign in 1904.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 27.--So-
bered by the embarrassments of Sat
urday's all night session of filbusters
and disagreements, congress adjusted
its differences on Monday, invited
President Taft up to the capitol once
more and at 4:30 O'Clock Monday
afternoon wrote "finis" after the pro-
ceedings OF the second session of the
fifty-second congress.
The end was marked with return
of harmony and an end of filibusters.
Senator LaFollette, demanding act
ion on the Penrose campaign fund
/. resolution, found all opposition
smoothed away in front of him, and
the resolution passed almost without
discussion
At the end of three days fight
in which Senator LaFollette's threat
of continued filibuster hung over
the senate to force consideration,
that body passed the Penrose reso-
luton calling for a complete inves-
tigation of the campaign contribu-
tioDs of John D. Archbold and Geo.
w. Perkins and of all financial trans
actions and correspondence, relating
thereto, between the two financiers
and "Col. Theodore Roosevelt, rep
.resentatives in congress and mem
sbers of the senate of the United
States"
When the senate met at noon it
had been mutually agreed that no
opposition would be made to Sena-
tor La Follette's request.
There was a general understand
ing among the members of the COM
mittee," Senator Claop said later,
"that if the Penrose resolution pass
ed we would resume our investiga-
ton at the end of September. The
passage of the resolution will make
no material change in our plans, ex-
cept to widen somewhat the scope
of the inquiry"
Senator Clapp announces that
there will be no more hearings by
the committee until late in Septem-
Der.

FIRES ON RUSSIAN sTEPPEs
Dreadful CONGREGATIONS That Sweep
the Plains, Driving Peasants to
Seek Refuge In Water.

Midsummer in Russia has been
nshered IN by a great epidemic Of
fires on the steppes.
The intense dryness of the season
has spread these fires over huge
area. One of the most dreadful fires
that the Russian steppes have ever
seen ragged a few days ago in the
province of Turgal. on the other side
of the Ural mountains. and to the
northeast of the Caspian. On these
steppes vast seas of grass stretch to
the horizon, raised only by shrubs OF
the wild cherry and dwarf almond
on the hillsides or by clumps of worm
wood when the soil is clayey. Herds
OF cattle and horses Craze on the
plains.
1t was early in the morning when
mighty clouds of smoke suddenly rose
up from the steppe, sure sign to the
inhabitants that a fire was in prog
ress. So appalling was the speed
with which the fire rolled over the
dry and yellow grass that the peas
ants had quickly to concert measures
for saving just their own lives from
destruction. Feverish activity pre-
vailed in all the villages until the
tongues of fame which came on near
ear and nearer with uncanny swiftness
appeared on the horizon
Swept forward by the rushing wind
sparks from the confiagration kindled
in advance another fire, which in a
short time enveloped 10000 acres of
grazing ground Swifter and swift
CT before the wind dashed on the
wall of fiery waves. Enormous pill
lars of fame shot up into the air.
The suction was so strong that slabs
of turf and burning branches were
hurled up into the air and thrown far
away
Men and cattle were hard put to
1t to save themselves. Their least
danger was of being scorched by the
fiery breath which swept on ahead of
the furnace. Women and children
who sank helpless to the ground were
dragged along by the other villagers,
for only hasty flight was now of any
avail. But even this would not have
saved them had not lake lain in
their path, into which they all rushed,
wading in as far as they could with
put drowning.
Imagine, then, hundreds of persons
standing in the waters up to their
shoulders, while all round them
masses of flame ran along the banks
and sent out Pickering tongues over
the water in their direction, baffled
In their thirst for victims.
Some of the inhabitants of the viii
lagos on the steppes directly they
saw the fire advancing set to work
TO burn large areas, and on these
oases they collected all their cattle
and household goods. At last heavy
shower came and extinguished the
prairie fire. Many persisted in the
flames or were stif1ed by the smoke,
fire in one village, three in another,
and SO on. Besides thfs there was
great destruction Of live stock, large
and small.

Harbor-Harvey Dodd of Mississip-
pi and Companion Phillips Are the
TWO Men Slaughtered.

Washington, Aug 24.-The state de-
partment on Thursday instructed
Minister Weitzel at Managua to inyes-
tigate the deaths of the two Ameri.
cans, one named Phillips and the other
Harvey Dodd of Kosciusko, Miss,
who are reported to have been muir
dered by the rebels during the looting
of Leon.
State department advices included
these men among the dead and added
that they had been killed while
wounded and seeking refuge in hos
pital. II the men were enlisted in the
federal army the United States can do
nothing but protest against the unc1v-
ilized manner of their death; If they
were noncombatants the state depart
ment will demand reparation and rec
ompense.
Dispatches from Corinto report that
the rebels are marching VIGOROUSLY
through the country, taking all the
small towns in their path.
In the meantime the $50 sailors and
marines already in Managua will be
used for the protection of the capital
and foreign women and children will
be removed to the Justin and Annapo-
lis off Corinto.
Minister Weitzel's dispatches were
of the most gloomy character. He
says: "The situation is growing stead
lily worse" and proceeds with the fol-
lowing details:
f'The consul at Corinto reports on the
18th that the rebel forces have taken
towns lying between Leon and Gilman
dega, among which are located large
sugar estate and the central distillery,
containing 100000 pesos worth OF
