CARLSBAD. Sept. :?.-'Nw York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Lord Mil
Hit left for England today on an urgent
summon from King Kdwnrd to confer
with Prime Minister Ralfour regarding ac
cepting the Rrltlsh secretaryship for the
colonies In succession to Joseph C'him
berlntn. The World correspondent ran state on
tli highest authority that Lord Mllner
)ia no d"slre to enter th cabinet and that
be has already informed Premier Balfour
that his only useful position In public life
1. In South Africa.
The whole British government situation
revolves around I,crd Mllner, whose al
ready high position ha auddenly become
one of cardinal Importance.
While all ' this fume as being- thrust
upon hlra he has been staying quietly at
Carlibud. going through the so-called cure
nd going to bed at 9 o'clock every night,
lie. left Bouth Africa two months ago and
came direct to Carlsbad without passing
through London. He la seeking a little
rest and restoration, having a bad liver
after three years of war work In over
throwing the Boer government. The fash
ionable season had ended when Lord Mll
ner arrived. Not a dozen people were
staying at Koenlg' villa, the hotel where
be took tip hia residence. In the most
democratic, free manner he formed the
acquaintance of the few belated gueats.
The arrival of the king's messenger with
an urgent request to enter the cabinet
earned like an Interruption from the out
side world. It disturbed the routine of
Ills simple life among the people, who
tacitly avoided reference to politics, but
the messenger departed and the next day
Ixrd Mllner resumed his aoclal Intercourse.
He had breakfaat with a little American
boy of 7, who shared with this ruler of
Bouth Africa some fish he had caught the
day before.
Balfoar Meeds Irish.
IjONDOX, Sept. IT. Addressing a demon
stration at Newcastle, county Down, to
day, John Redmond, the Irish leader, said
I' that tho Irish land bill having been secured
the next session must be devoted to the
labor' question." The political situation to
day was a strange one, he auld, and If Pre
mier , Balfour desired to retain office the
Irish party would hold the power of life
find death In Its hands and would use that
power without compunction to forward the
Interests of the Irish cause.
ROASTS THE MODERN CHURCH

Aaiienrit,
DETROIT, Sept. 27. The convention of
the Disciples of the Ixsrd was opened
t')day. The day waa devoted to religious
exercises and the principal speaker was
Kvangellat John Smith of Cleveland, who
claims he Is called to preach the goapel
of Christ by God Himself. He made a bitter
attack on all forms of worldly amusement,
which he characterised as being the works
of the devil. In his opinion it Is for worldly
amusement only that the majority of people
attend, church. The church of today Is
nothing more than a circuit of the theater,
he declared, while the choirs who sing the
beautiful and sacred hymns In many cases
are going straight to perdition. They are
paid large salaries to stand up and prosti
tute the music of God. Preaching With
most of the high priced ministers, lie con
tinued, Is only a bsse proposition, as they
are hired for the amusement they can give
to their congregations. Real Christianity
haa gone glimmering, he said, and the form
of worship In many of the churches Is but
a hollow mockery.

LAREDO, Tex., Sept. 27. The yellow
fever seems to be on the Increase in this
city despite the rigorous efforts that are
being taken to stamp out the scourge. Two j

at the close of the day.
Dr. Oulteras, In 111 house to house canvas
today, saw many cases of lever, and at ihe
conclusion of his day examination made
the announcement that twelve of the cases
were genuine yellow fever. The daughter
of the Mexican boiler maker, Juan Con-
tinas, who died of the fever recently, died
late this afternoon and another Mexican
woman also died of the disease.
This city now presents a dead appearance,
all those, who could get away having de
parted for points north In the state of
Thm and for points south. It Is estimated
by the authorities that nearly 4.UO0 people
have fled from here since the beginning of
the yellow fever scare. The city Is now
quarantined In . all direction In the
state and no person can get beyond the
limits of Webb county, as other Texas
counties have established a shotgun quar-
ntine and are turning all back who are
endeavoring to get away in coaches, bug
gies and carts. The quarantine applies to
all persons, freight, buggage, express, mall
or other matter originating in the city of
Laredo or points south, the only persons
having authority to leave the corporation
limits being the health officers of the state
of Texas and of tho United States.
Tho work of placing tho olty In a thor
oughly sanitary condition Is being carried
on under the direct supervision of Dr. Oul
teras and a corps of expert assstants.
The situation In Nuevo I.aredo Is un
changed, no death or new case having oc
curred as far as can be learned. Dr. Mari
ano Trevlno. a Mexican government yellow
fever expert. Is in charge. He declares that
within eight days ho will have stamped out
the fever. The Mexican custom house au
thorities have temporarily removed to Lam
pasas, where all Incoming baggage and
freight over the National railway ex
amined, thus permitting trains through to
Laredo without stopping at Nuevo Laredo.

MITCHELL MEETS ROOSEVELT
Leader of Mine Workers to nine Tilth
the President oa
Tnesday,
OYSTER EAT. Sept. '."7. President Roose
velt pHsaeri the lust diy of tho summer va
cation quietly at Sagamore Hill. He and
Mra. Roosevelt, accompanied by two of
their children, attended morning services
at Christ's Episcopal church. The presi
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt and their children
now at home Ethel, Archie and Quentin
Secretary and Mrs. Loeb and members of
the executive staff will leave tomorrow
morning at S o'clock for Washington, ex
pecting to arrive there at 4:10 p. m. A
meeting of the cabinet will be held on
Tuesday at 11 o'clock, but nothing of c
cial Importance Is likely . to develop at
the meeting, indeed, somo members of the
cabinet will not be in attendance. On Tues
day afternoon tho president will hove as a
guest at luncheon John Mitchell, president
of the liiiled Mine. Winkers of America.
Several months ao the president in
vited Mr. Mitchell to take luncheon or
dine with him when lie next canio to Wash
ington. The mine Workers' president is in
Washington now. U is announced that ar
rangement for the luncheon was made
prior to the latest developments In the
case of W. II. Miller, the foreman book
binder In the fcovernment printing office,
and that no special significance Is to be
attached to the fact that the presldenj and
Mr. Mitchell meet t this time. It is prob
able that tho Miller case, among other
matters, will be dlseusued. but the meeting
will not take the form of a conference on
that subject.
In view of the stniements recently pub
lished that the priMdcnt on his return
to Washington would hold a conference on
the Miller case with prominent representa
tives of organlxed labor It is announced
that the president has no Intention of con
ferring with anybody regarding that case.
His position. It is pointed out, wns deilned
clearly in his published letters to Secretary
Cortclyou. The principle enunciated In
those letters was framed In accordance
with the statutes of the United States and
on it the president expects to stand. If a
hearing on. the merits of the Miller case
Is desired by those who are endeavoring to
have the man dismissed from tho govern
ment service, the president may grant It
precisely as he might a hearing to any
other body jot citizens on a question of
public intesest. but it Is not the president's
purpose to enter upon a discussion of the
principle already laid down.

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 27. President
Lynch of the International Typographical
union in the next Issue of the organ of the
union will reply to the charges that tho
oath subscribed to by members of the un

religious obligation. It is claimed the agi
tation was begun by Roman Catholic
clergy, notably Bishop Scannell of Omaha,
Father Ward, of Reholt Father Buert.
of Marshall, Mich. President Lynch will
say: j

Is forced that these paper. wou'd not suffer

NIXON WANTS TO BE MAYOR
Announce Himself as Candidate for
Democratic Xomlnallon. Talking
of cw York Reforms,
NEW YORK. Sept. 27-Lewis Nixon to
night announced that he Is a candidate
for the democratic nomination for mayor.
He made public a statement, in which he
eaid:
1 am a candidate for the democratic nom
ination for mayor of New York. This state
ment is made with a full knowledge of the
uncertainties of the democratic situation.
I desire to make It plain that 1 am willing
to stand with the democrats, however
small their number, who believe the dem
ocratic party of this city should lead and
not follow In the march of municipal re
form. Speaking of the municipal cnmpalgn, Mr.
Nixon said:
The battle will be won nr lost on local is
sues that ure strong enough to have KHiue.1
a Arm bold on the public mind. These issues
are police "blackmail'' and that nieroensry
stilrlt which breed dishonesty in the mihllu
service. To them may.be charged ell the
party's recent loss of liM-ai prcstlpn. The
democracy has not been hen (en on these la
sue by republican votes alone by any
means. It has been beaten chiefly by dem
ocratic votes. The democratic party of the
city has all the Issues In lis favor except
these two. It Is euslly within Its power
to throw off their dead weight when It
makes up Its mind to do no. Its r!ght (o
dominancy will be restored as soon as it
does. There can be no doubt of tho result
of any campaign in which the party ex-
1-llcity and without equivocation commits
tself to reforms for whirl) the city has
four time voted In ten years.
Mr. Nixon would say nothing more about
his candidacy.

I From n Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. ?7.-iSpeclal )-The
members of congress v ho ure now In Wash
ington predict that the session of th
coming congress will be full of national
politics. The extra session which will begin
November !i will be followed without nn
Ir.tcrlm by the regular session which will
continue until aell into the winter. After
its adjournment mill come the national con
ventions and the presidential cnmpalgn.
The democrats, who have not decided upon
party Issues tor that campaJgn, ere ex
pected to take advantage of every oppor
tunity in house and senate to emphasis
their position on public questions and to
put the republicans on the defense in de
hates. Tho rift of the discussion ammu
members here Indicate that the democrats
are preparing to make all the political
capital possible out ot th scandals in the
Postoiflee department and In the Indian
Territory for use In a campaign of reform.
Despite the fact that the investigation
under the direction of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Brlstow has resulted
In the removal and indictment of a snore
of grafters and In reform In every bureau
of the Postofflce department, the democrat
are demanding thst an investigation be
conducted by congress and It is Velleved
that one of tho first measure Introduced
when congress gets down to work will be
one providing for the appointment of :
congressional committee to take up the
irregularities in the postal service so that
congress can get a special report on the
alleged rrlbcry and corruption In the Post
oftVe department.
Although It Is generally recognised that
no additional facts will be disclosed by such
Inquiry, the republicans are expected to
fall In with the plans of the dem.-erats and
vote for an Investigation. Representative
Cannon, who will be speaker of the house,
haa Intimated that the majority would not
place any obstacle in th way of a con
gressional Investigation and It Is possible
that tbe republicans may anticipate the
democratic program by Introducing meas
ure which will result In an investigation
under republican auspice and thus deprive
the democrats of an opportunity iu" gq be
fore the country In the presidential cam-,
palgn with the assertion that republican
opposition prevented them from dlsclolng
the most damaging facts In the postal Ir
regularities. If this policy is. pursued the
most the democrats cab hope ta get out
of the agitation of tho poatal scandals In
congress will be the somewhat doubtful
political advantage that will result from
partisan speeches containing crltlciBm- of
the administration of Pref'.dent Roosevelt.
Indian Field More Frnltfnl.
The scandals of the Indian territory will
undoubtedly prove a fruitful subject for
dlecusslon. Tncre has been much unneces
sary delay In get, ing the investigation lu
the Indian country started, although It has
been clcui.'y t:io put pose of Secretary Hitch
cock r.nd President Roosevelt to begin that
work as speedily as possible. The trouble
seems to be with Charles J. Bonaparte , of
Baltimore, whom Mr. Roosevelt selected to.
conduot the Investigation. Although Mr.
Bonaparte's appointment a a special cotu
iiiisaloncr waa made ten days ago, It would
seem that so far he has hardly completed
a perusal ot the charges against the Indian
officials, and that he ha made no other
preparation for the work he ha agreed to
undertake. There are people who say that
Mr. Bonaparte Is not the right man to di
rect the Inquiry, and. that Mr. Roosevelt
should have selected a man more of the
type of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Oen
eral Brlstow, who ha demonstrated bis
ability to uncover corruption In the govern-,
met service. Mr. Bonaparte seem to con.
aidir his duties as largely Judicial, and he
at first stated that he did not illnk It
would be necessary for him to go lo the
Indian territory' at all. He said lie could
reach a decision as to whether there was or
was not. corruption In the Indian touutry
by carefully going over the papers on file
at the Interior department. )t did not seem
to occur to hint that he was expected to
obtain evidence of crime r.nd that his du
ties were those of a detecllve and not thoae
of a Judge. Unless Mr. Bonaparte changes
his plans, ihe Investigation, instead Of being
well under way by the time congress con
venes, as Mr. Roosevelt Intended, It should
lie. will not even have been started.
There is no doubt that an effort will also
I lie made by the democrats to get a congres
sional Investigation in the Indian territory
and the chances are that they will succeed.
That the republicans expect th Indian
scandals to come up In congtens Is Indicated
bv the announcement a few days ago that a
subcommittee of the senate committee on
Indian affairs would go to the Indian terri
tory about October 13 to get an Insight Into
the condition there. The mission of the
senate subcommittee. H I believed, I In
obtain facts with which to meet the criti
cisms of democrats, who will make an effort
to hold the administration of Mr. Roose
velt responsible for the wrongdoing of
officials whom the secretary of th Interior
unfortunately trusted as honest men.
Treasury Officials HopeloL
Officials of the treasury are hopeful that
the refunding plan adopted by Secretary
Shaw will cause a better feeling in bus!,
hens circles generally and Inspire confidence
among llnanciul interests that hard taken
a gloomy view of' the future. Mr.1 Shaw,
himself, it Is explained, is not apprehensive
of a linancial stringency, but he thinks that
by making money plentiful be ran bring
about confidence lu the altuutlun.
There is no d nbt that the opportunity to
substitute statu or municipal bond for
government bond In securing government
deposits will bo generally taken advantage
of. The total amount now held by na
tional banks Is only SJ.dOO.OOO, and (t Is riot
expected that the substitution nt state and
municipal bonds to thut extent will hive
any appreciable effect on the In irket
price of those securities. It may not ,
noccssary for the banks lo appear In the
matkrt as purchaser, for the reason tit
they can arrange to borrow the toaia, a l
