WASHINGTON, March 19.—The in
terview between President Roosevelt
and Chas. S. Molten, the president of
the New York; New Haven aDd Hart
ford Railroad, recently arraigned for
. tho purpose of discussing the railroad
situation, took place at the White
House today. It lasted not more than
thirty-five minutes. No statement of
the particular questions discussed
was made at the White House, and
Mr. Mellon declined to talk.
Mr. Mellen's visit today is the out
come of a call made to the White
House Inst week by J. Plerpont Mor
gan, tho New York financier, who
came to Washington at the request of
many business men to discuss the
present business situation, particular
ly as affecting the railroads. At tho
timo Mr. Morgan .suggested to the
President that It would be greatly in
the public Interest If he woiild see cer
tain raiiroan presidents and confer
with them "as to what steps might be
taken to allay the public nnxioty as
to the relations between the railroads
and the Government." The visit of
Mr. Mellon followed the conference he
had several days ago with Presidents
McCrea, Newman and Hughltt, of
the Pennsylvania, New York Central
and Chicago and Northwestern rail
roads respectively. These four were
tho names suggested to Mr. Roose
velt by Mr. Morgan. It is not known
at the White House whether Messrs.
McCrea. Newman and Hughitt will
visit Mr. Roosevelt. The President
will see them if they come. So far
they have not boon heard from.
Conferred With President.
During the past three weeks Presi
dent Roosevelt has had visits from
half a dozen well known financiers
and railroad men with all of whom he
hap discussed various phases of the
railroad situation. These Include:
J. Plerpont Morgan. James Speyer.
Of New York: President Stieknev, of
the Chicago Great Western Railroad:
B. F. Yoakum, of the Chicago. Rock
Island and Pacific: E. H. Handman,
t>f the Union Pacific, and Chas. S.
Mellen, of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad.
All of these persons have mado
specific recommendations incorporat
ing their Ideas on the question wheth
er the President should recommend
additional railway legislation, and
most of them have urged him to make
ft statement defining his attitude in
explicit terms, with a view to allaying
public apprehension on the subject
that may exist. He has referred his
callers who want Information as to his
attitude to his public declarations on
this general subject and has told them
that he means to be consistent with
what he he. s already said. The Presi
dent says frankly that he is learning
all he can regarding the railroad sit
uation nnd that ho intends to continue
to consult with railroad pfeople and
others on the subject.
It Is understood he is making In
quiries on some points pertaining to
Federal supervision and control of
the railroads, to the question of an
appraisement of the physical valua
tion of such properties and to the
matter of the issue of various forms
of indebtedness.

PUERTO CORTEZ, Honduras. March
14.—Via New Orleans, La,. March 19.—
A turn of sinister and widespread sig
nificance was given to the Central
American revolution today by the find
ing on the persons of captured Nicara
guan soldiers proclamations promising
them the loot of tho first cities which
they can capture in both Honduras and
Salvador.
This proclamation at once amounted
to a practical doclartion of war by
Nicaragua" fginst Salvador: it showed
that the Nicaraguan common soldiers
are at least being sent to fight what
they believe a war of vengenance: and
it placed Americans in Puerto Cortez
and throughout this republic on the
anxious seat because of the fact that
American residents or American capi
tal form the principal property holders
of most of the Honduran cities, es-r
pecially those which are richest and
therefore most liable to loot in case of
success of the Nicaraguan arms.
The proclamation says:
"The reward for our valor will be
found as so on as we put our feet on
the enemies’ soil—and In order that
those opposed to us may repent* their
temerity in attacking our liberal towns,
we offer as booty the first cities, both
of Honduras and of Salvador that fall
into our power.”
The grounds for this sacking of cities
is stated as follows: “The hour has
arrived in which our glorious flag will
go to exact reparation for the oppro-
bious injuries to our countrymen in the
towns of Los Calpi and Carrizal. In
these two towns our comrades were
villaniously assassinated by minions of
the despot of Honduras.”
Vengeance is to be visited upon Sal
vador because of the attack upon the
town of Leon by General Malespin of
Salvador when It is claimed, he "viola
ted Nicaraguan homes, burned proper
ly and committed every class of rob
bery.”
The proclamation is in the form of
"national bulletin.” and bears the
date line "San Pedro. Sula. March 12.”
Although measures for self-defense
have been taken by many Americans,
it is not ture, as has been reported,
that they have been impressed into
the service of Honduras or that they
are taking part in any numbers In the
hostftilrie-'.
Salvadoreans With Honduras.
According to reports received a part
of the Salvadorean army is by this
time fighting with Honduras. March
12 was fixed for a general advance of |
the allied forces. A recent telegram
says that seven boatloads of disbanded
Nicaraguan troops surrendered to Sal
vadorean authorities and were concen
trated in the interiormf Salvador. For

AUGUSTA CHRONICLE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
AUGUSTA, Ga„ March 19.—At 3:10
this morning fire broke out in the
building occupied by the Augusta
Chronicle and the Western Union
Telegraph Company. The office of the
Augusta Chronicle was ruined and the
main office of the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the union
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, cf
92 Court street, Utica, N. Y. In almost
every community others are suffering
as she did before she was cured, for
her case is a typical one. She says:
"For six months after the birth of
my baby, I suffered from sick, dizzy
headaches, which seemed like a rush
of blood to my forehead, just back
of my eyes. Some days they twitched
so I could hardly see and black spots
floated before them. The least exer
tion brought on this sickness. My
appetite was poor and I was often sick
to my stomach.
"If I tried to work my feet soon be
came swollen, paining me terribly. I
had sinking spells, and grew pale and
nervous. I was so thin that I only
weighed 95 pounds.
“One day when at the drug store to
get headache jjowders, I decided to
try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills instead. I
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and that my nerves gradual
ly grew stronger. The pills gave me a
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
130 pounds. I believe the pills to be
the best tonic builder a woman can
take, as they certainly helped me when -
my condition was serious and I never
have been seriously ill since.”
The great value of Dr. Williams’ Pink
parliament, is rapidly spreading and is
causing much anxiety to the Govern
ment. The foreign official version of
the riots at -Botoshani, of March 17.
has been given out.
In consequence of the agitation going
on in Bersabarian and neighboring
districts of upper Moldavia, several
hundred peasants from the Bojosahni
district, raided a number of houses and
shops in the town including the prem
ises of some large Jewish firms. The
military sent against the rioters were
fired upon with' revolvers and stoned
and finally were compelled to use their
weapons. They fired, and left four
men killed and nine wounded.

and the following is the account of the
fire that the Chronicle itself pub
lished:
This morning at 3:30 o’clock the
printers in the fourth floor of the
Chronicle building, busily engaged in
closing the forms, noticed smoke com
ing up through the small elevator
shaft in the stereotypers' room. An
investigation on the floor below
showed that fire had broken out in the
rear of the third floor. An alarm was
Immediately turned in by telephone
and every one in the building was
notified.
In less than five minutes the third
and fourth floors had been filled with
smoke so dense as to be painful. At
about the same time, Fire Chief Reyn
olds arrived, and while tho water con
nections were being made, the blaze
broke out through the roof. It rapi

building, finding vent at the windows
on the fourth floor.
Machine Room in Flames.
A general alarm was sent In and by
the time all streams were playing, the
entire top portion of the Chronicle
building containing the linotype ma
chines, make-up room, stereotypers,
etc., had burst into flames.
Firemen placed ladders on the front
and sides and laid a line to the third
story, then ran the water tower up
and trained it on the main blaze above
and still others attained the top of
the John W. Dicky building, adjacent,
and used effective streams from that
point of vantage.
At five o'clock the flames were still
raging in the top of the building and

ST. PETERSBURG. March 20.—The
ministerial declaration, setting forth
the government’s program for legisla

of parliament assembled in the-hall of
the nobility. Later in the day the
declaration will be read before the
councils of the empire or upper house,
at a special session.
The declaration of policy, which was
studiously courteous in tone and avoid

by M. Stolypin, are' summarized as
follows:
“Liberty of faith.
“Habeas corpus on the same basis

“The substitution of a single form
of martial law for the various decrees

Plan is to Lease Entire Park to
Company for Term of
Years
Now that the matter of the city reim
bursing the Fair Association for add
ing another building to those at Cen
tral City Park will not come up until
next Tuesday night, a suggestion look
ing to the settlement of the fair debts
has been made that is given publica-
• tion that it may be considered by the
members of Council and others who
may feel an interest in the subject.
A prominent citizen says he would
like to form a company to lease the en
tire park from the city for a term of
three or more years, the lease not to
deprive the public of any of the bene
fits of the park. This company to pay
off the fair debts at once, that is, to
pay the $2,100 which figured in the re
cent stockholders' meeting and the $2,-.
500 the city is asked for, making a to
tal of $4,600
It is proposed and estimated that
such a company will realize a profit by
the annual income from the park. First,
the revenue from the tillable land in tho
park, say $1 000. From the use of tne
baseball park, league and amateur,
with football games, at $10 per day,
about $750. From stall rent at $2 per
stall, $450. From refreshment privi
leges, say $200. From all other sources
$500, making a total of $3,100. In the
three years of the lease this would
amount fo $9,300, or a profit of $4,700.
The present annual income from the
park-is as follows: From lease of the
tillable land, $623.00; from stall rent,
$350.00; total, $975.00. The keeping up
of the park, including the salary of

A blow on the head with a spade
flatwise, was the cause, so a coroner's
jury agreed, of the death at the hos
pital of Ben Wilson.
Ben was taken from his home at
1155 Boundry street a few days ago
and carried to the hospital. He was
unconscious at the time and remained
so until his death irf the early part
of yesterday morning.
At the inquest which was held at
Emery’s undertaking shop yesterday
morning, the following facts were
brought out: Ben and another negro
named Will Jones were working at
tho Massae-Eelton new building just
outside the city near Schofield’s. On
the morning of the 12th they began
to quarrel when Will picked up a
shovel or spade from a mortar bed
and struck Ben on the forehead with
the fiat side.
At first It did not seem as though
he was much hurt, but he went to his
father’s house on Boundry streot
where he became unconscious. Re
maining ln this state for two or three
days, he was sent to the hospital as
stated.
The jury were not satisfied with tho
evidence before them, and an autopsy
was held by Doctors Elder,Harrold and
Respess, when it was found that the
skull had been fractured by the blow
and this was sufficient to produo
death. A verdict in accordance with
these facts was rendered.
Coroner Young held an inquest over
the body yesterday, resulting in tho
following verdict being returned by the
jury:
"We, the jurors upon our oaths, say
that Ben Wilson came to his death
from a blow on the front part of his
head by an iron shovel in tho hands
of Will Jones, causing death, from tho
evidence, the same Is voluntary man

B'ut it is not for his unique career
that Ernst Aurell is specially remarka
ble. It is far his historical research
and his theories and beliefs which if
true, throw an entirely new light upon
many phases of European history.
One of,the most daring and yet plau
sible of these theories or beliefs is that
Charles XII. of Sweden, one of the
foremost warriors and generals in his
tory, was a woman. This theory—and
it is more than a theory with Aurell,
for he is thoroughly convinced of it—
is all the more striking because of the
popular conception of Charles XII. as a
particularly masculine warrior and
leader.
