STRICTLY A STATE MATTER
Governor Ferris Sees No Reason for
Federal Interference.

Big Rapids, Mich, Dec. 30.-John
B. Densmore, solicitor of the federal
department of labor, conferred with
Governor Ferris at his home here
concerning the strike situation.
Mr. Densmore left for Calumet i'm
mediately afterward.
Il am still of the opinion that there
is no necessity for the federal author
tiles to take action in this affair,
the governor said. There is a grand
jury now in session at Houghton
Meyer or anybody else can go before
that body and get jastice. II is strict
ly state matter and Michigan can
handle it,"
After the conference Governor Fer
ris said that Solicitor Densmore had
explained that he did not come to
Michigan to begin federal invests
cation into the strike conditions.

Battle Imminent at Mexican
Border Town.
FEDERALS ARE HOPEFUL
Consider Fortifications lmpregnable
Against the Advancing Army of
mand Of General Ortego.

Presidio, Tex, Dec 30.-The Mexi-
can federal army at Ojinaga, opposite
here, after being free of attack for
three weeks, made ready to fire on
the first rebel that came within sight
With 1000 soldiers, commanded by
nine generals, supplied with stores of
provisions taken over from the Amer
ican side, the federals had provided
every precaution to resist the 4,200
rebels advancing from Chihuahua un-
der General Ortega.
The rebels, fatigued and short of
rations after their long seven-day
overland journey of more than $50
miles, were resting at a ranch at the
south end of a canyon known as La
Mula pass.
The prospects were that the whole
rebel army would not get through the
pass and in firing distance of the fed
erals within several days.
So far no firing between the oppos-
ing forces has occurred. The fed
erals have not left Ojinaga to check
the rebels.
Officers of the federal army, iIclud-
ing General Francisco Castro. are
confident that as long as they remain
in the Notifications of Ojinaga, which
is regarded as impregnable to an en-
emy except of vastly superior mum
bers, they will be safe.

deputies stood at the foot of the stairs
and beat back those coming out of
the hall All testified to the effect
that they had not seen any one wear

up the stairs, nor any person wearing
an alliance button in the hall.
Woman Repudiates Story.
Mrs. Clemens has been generally
said to be one of those who persist

man who gave the false alarm of fire
wore an Alliance button, but on the
stand she disclaimed any knowledge
of that kind and asserted that she
had seen no one affiliated with the
Citizens alliance, an organization OPP
posed to the strike, come into the hall.
Congressman Macdonald of Calu.

clue to his identity and that war
rant may be made soon.

Secretary Lane Seeks With
draWal OF Tracts.
ASKS CONGRESS TO ACT
Urges Resolution Empowering the
President to Hold Lands in Public
posits of This Precious Metal.

Washington, Dec. 30.-SecretarS
of the public domain suspected oi
containing radium that their precious
deposits may be secured for the pub
lie good and not become the subjec.
OF private speculation.
Mr. Lane outlined his plan in let
ter TO Chairman Foster of the house
mines committee, urging immediate
passage of a joint congressional reso
luton to empower President Wilson
to make the Withdrawals.
BY the terms of the proposed reso
luton the secretary of the interior
would be authorized ito conduct ex
plorations and researches with a view
to determining the practicability OF
developing from such ores a supply
OF radium and to provide supply OF
radium for the use of the government
and the hospitals of this country"
Secretary Lane points out that
there are only two grams of radium
at present in the United States. II
is valued at 100000 gram All has
been procured from Europe.
Preserve Metal for People.
'Three-ff urths of the radium pro
duced in the world during the year
1872" said Secretary Lane, came
from American ores, yet we have, up
to this time, taken no steps whatever
to preserve for our own people this
invaluable metal"
In view of the known effectiveness
of radium in the treatment of cancer
and the difficulty now experienced in
obtaining a supply of it, Secretary
Lane says, that as one person in
every ten in this country more than
fifty years of age suffers from can,
Ger lit is difficult to over estimate
the necessity for securing immediate
ly as large a supply as possible OF
this mysterious remedy.
"Radum is found in ores carrying
uranium and vanadium, which are
used extensively in the arts and pro-
cesses by which it is extracted are
secret. process has been invented
by the chemists in our bureau OF
mines which promises from the lab
oratory experiments thus far made to
be successful"

DEMOCRATIC CLUB
 FORMED AGAIN
MAJOR STRONG ENDORSED BY MEETING FOR ALASKA
 GOVERNOR.

A permanent democratic club was established at meeting which WIS held last Saturday evening in K. K ITall, and resolution was passed unanimously by the meeting in favor of Major StronG's appointment as governor of the territory.
 Everyone present was permitted D sign the roll as candidates for mem- bership in the club although when t,,e meeting was called 1t was announced that only democrats, who ha re. mained delegates during the 1clcgat" election were eligible.
 The district committeeman. .-n Kelly, in answer to c. D. Cochran, af- firmed the statement that in ly rc = concentrations for appointments re the democratic club. This is r.ally the most important fact connected with the meeting. It means that the democrats who stood bY the demo- cratic nominee during the delegate election have surrendered the right to name people for appointments and have admitted those who voted for Gilmore and Wickersham into their ranks to share the patronage. provid ed such people now sign the roll of the demoCratic club.
 John Webb was elected president and Rev. G. D. Christian was elected secretary and treasurer. Owing to Nr. Christians absence Bob Somers | crformed the secretarys d' ,ies at thrt meeting.
 Councilman Williams in th3 course oi the meeting addressed it as a Gil mo~c democrat" The remainder of the speech has not yet been delivered. The crowd howled so loudly that some sarcastic remarks from his brother councilman, George Sykes. were lost. Mir. Williams like the others of his hyphenated political faith signed the roll and so became absolved from past sins if the prevalent tone of that meet ing meant anything.
 Some of those present, including O. D. Cochran. considered it better to wait until the club had been formed before endorsing Major Strong for governor. J. F. Daily, George Grigsbv and others believed that delay wonld make it seem as though his home town had refused to endorse the TNa jor now that the matter had been brought up. Cochran when the vote | was insisted on, moved that the ma jor be endorsed unanimously. wh:.h | was done.
 Many of those speaking began their | remarks with q statement to the effect | that they had been life long demo- crats. The hall was filled. Indeed | the number present was probably | greater than the number that voted | for Robert w. Jennings.
 Cheney of Juneau has already been selected by the territorial committee. including Committeeman Kelly and | Breeding for the job of national com mitteeman, but the question now to be solved is whether Cheney must be l endorsed by the democratic national | committee outside.
 The roll was signed by nearly all present at the meeting, special books having been procured for this occa- sion.
