MORMONS ARE DRIVEN OUT. ( American Missionaries Are Expellee from Germany. Three American Mormons have beer xpelled from Germany as the resuli tof persisting , despite warnings prohib iting the spreading of their propagan- Ida , in conducting river baptisms anc bnaking converts. They were arrestec land suminarily taken under guard tt Hhe frontier. The Imperial authorities decided in 1903 that it was not desirable to allo\v the Mormons' agents to continue activ ity in Germany , but owing to repre sentations of the American embassy in Berlin and Chief Missionary Cannon , whose field of activity is central Eu rope , with headquarters in Berlin , the foreign office allowed Mormons a month in which to settle their affairs jand leave the country. There were at that time fifty Mormon missionaries Jin the various German states and the grounds for the expulsion were that their teachings were contrary to pub lic morality and social order. It was also agreed with Cannon that all Mor mons who are American citizens should discontinue proselyting in Ger many. German converts , of whom there were several thousand , and" who continued to follow the new faith un- Jder native pastors , were subjected to { various police hindrances. Cannon Amoved the central European head- iquarters to Switzerland and , it is un derstood , has since returned to Salt Zake CJty.

The latest of many suggestions fo ? the benefit o Theodore Koosevelt. as- an ex-President , comes from London , where it is said to have been discussed in the fashionable clubs. It attributes- to Mr. Roosevelt a desire to round out an extended tour of the world by a- considerable residence in the British- capital as ambassador to the court of" St. James. Very likely the President has men tioned this as something that would bo- to his liking , although it is doubted int Washington whether he has ever seri ously considered it. He does contem plate quite a trip abroad , after March. 4. 1909. At times he lias dwelt with no- little anticipation upon the things he- would find pleasure in doing after offi cial cares have been lifted from his- shoulders. He and Mrs. Roosevelt liav&- planned more than one trip they want to take when he has become a private- citizen again. Possibly foremost in these plans is- the visit to the capitals of the old world. They were married in London and both have traveled extensively ir * Europe. They are very desirous of go ing again , of revisiting old scenes and ; old friends and of making new friends- They will hardly make such a tri umphal tour as ex-President Grant made , but Mr. Koosevelt would like to- meet a few of the European rulers with , whom he has been in communication ) more or less since he entered the White- House. He would enjoy that probably quite as much as some of the big hunt ing trips for large game that he has in mind. However , the President up to a few months ago was known to cherish , strong hope of an election to the United States Senate from New York. He- likes residence in Washington a portion tion of the year. As a Senator he- would continue to have official promi nence , and could divide his time be tween Washington and New York or any city that might interest him. He- will undoubtedly do a great amount of literary work in the few years follow ing his retirement from the Presidency and Washington i x , a very congenial } city for such efforts.

"Gen. " Coxey's Xew Crusade. "Gen. " J. S. Coxey , who some j'ears- ago led a sensational march on Wash ington , is now out with a new scheme , , the main feature of which is the absorp tion and operation by the State of rail roads and other utilities necessary to > the people's welfare. Hs idea is to have- these holdings taken over by the States , , payment being made by the issue of long- term bonds , these latter being deposited ! with the federal government in return for' an issue of currency to the face value of the securities less 1 per cent for ths * expense of flotation. He thinks that this loan could be repaid and the entire ex penses of the State met by the revenues-1 accruing from the operation of the publis- utilities , thus making a direct tax levy- on private property unnecessary. He- would in a similar manner extend his- idea to counties and municipalities. He declares the ida of controlling the big : corporations while their ownership resta- with private interests absurd , and says ; that public ownership will -be the verita * ble salvation of the country. Coxey is- said to have amassed considerable property * - erty since his famous "march' ; " Sparks from the -"Wires , Captain Emil Francke of the steam ship Dakota , which was wrecked on thfr Japanese coast March 3 , is censured se verely in a letter written him by George Uhler. supervising inspector general oi the steamboat inspection service.
