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.

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 several days telegraphic communica tion has been interrupted with Truxil- lo. Honduras at which port President Bonilla has ordered three thousand land forces to concentrate with the 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.

No plans have yet been announced 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 dly spread along the sides of the 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 Pills contain no harmful drugs.

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 ed all reference to drumhead court- martial and other causes of conten tion. was received in respectful lence. The projects of law enumerated by M.

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 the parkkeeper. is more than $1,000. On the line of the suggestion, the expense 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 slaughter. com SEEKS II Col.

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.
