Washington, Jan. 20.—Three French warships are now off the Venezuelan coast, prepared to deliver the answer of France to President Castro's treatment of M. Taigny, the French representative at Caracas, by a naval demonstration in Venezuelan waters. Two additional warships will join them as soon as they can make the trip across the Atlantic. Until the demonstration has been initiated the French government will share only with the president and Secretary Root the knowledge of the exact form which this expression of her displeasure at President Castro's action will take. Unknown Source. Toledo, O., Jau. 20.—"If duty demanded Roosevelt to continue this fight he would do it. I know he does not want to become a candidate for another term, but at the bottom of his heart he believes in the people and will fight for them." Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 20.—"It is my opinion that the anthracite matter will not comc before this convention," said President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workqrs of America. Five South Main street merchants, who havo been annoyed recently with flooded cellars, caused by water coming from an unknown source, were forced to have recourse to the flre department yesterday to relieve them. Those whose cellars were flooded are: R. E. Hankee, Thomtrs Moughan, Harry Waldman, Thomas J. Murphy and A. E. Case. These have been more or less annoyed for some time past by a small amount of water getting Into their cellars and keeping them in a damp condition. Lately, however, the water came in in considerable quantity and yesterday It varied In depth in the different cellars from two to four feet. The occupants of the buildings were unable to locntj the point of Influx of the water. The engine of the "Niagara company went into service at 7 o'clock last evening the suction pipe being put into the Waldman cellar. From this point the water was drawn from the five cellars and thrown Into a litarby cteok. New York, Jan. 20.—The Press says: , Behind the decision of the Roosevelt administration to send Governor General Luke E. Wright of the Philippines as the first ambassador to Japan lies a story of administration policy which as yet hag not been told. President Roosevelt, it is asserted by close advisers of the administration, is convinced that the best thing the United States can do with the Philippines is to get rid of them on the best terms that can be negotiated • and under the best possible conditions obtainable for the Integrity of the Philippine Islands, either for their ultimate independence or at least that they may become a united colony of one of the great world powers. The defendant handed a story out to the alderman that made the official gasp. He said he kept Ragagglni's $120 with $100 of his own In his trunk. One day, while himself and the boarders were at work, a thief got into the house and broke into the trunk. He took the $120 belonging to Ragagglni, but left the boss's $100 behind him. How the boss could tell 'the difference between his money and the prosecutor's the alderman could not well understand and Antlsi was unable to enlighten him. The defendant was held under $500 for his appearance at court. Mr. Mitchell was reminded of reports that the convention will be asked to ratify demands that the anthracite miners were said to have adopted In their Shamokin convention in December and that the anthracite men also will ask the bituminous miners to draft a reply to the offer of the anthracite operators to meet the miners' representatives as a committee from miners and not from the union. This was the statement made by Jacob A. Rlls, close friend of President Roosevelt and a writer of a biography of him, In an interview on the war between special privileged interests on one side and the people on the other which Mr. Riis predicts. Tills war, Mr. Riis says, may last three, five and even ten years before the people are victorious. It will wipe out partisanship in parties, the first indications of which, says Mr. Riis, will be seen at the congressional elections to be held in 1907. "The miners did not draft demands at the Shamokin convention," said Mr. Mitchell. "They placed their case in the hands of a committee. As for the other matter I don't think It will come before the convention," GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY Our Representative Sliflhted. Meanwhile the delicacy of the situation at Caracas is greatly Increased by news'which has just reached here from the Venezuelan capital regarding the attitude President Castro assumes toward Mr. Russell, the American minister."But suppose the fight isn't finished when Mr. Roosevelt's time expires in 1909?" he was asked. It may be, indeed, that the administration will deny this statement for reasons of political expediency for the present, but there is good ground for the statement that the administration would feel highly gratified if -It could close negotiations for the transfer of the Philippines before the end of President Roosevelt's present term. WJhen asked as to the truth of a report that a meeting of the anthracite operators and miners will be held in New York city Feb. 15, Mr. Mitchell said:. Forty Fort Officers Convicted This Morning. Then came the reply as to the probability of a renomination for the president. Continuing, Mr. Rils said: Unless this attitude is radically modified it may be necessary to dispatch an American warship even nearer the Venezuelan coast than has already been planned. Historic Old City Hall Was "I cannot talk about that." The floods in the various cellars had a common source, this being proved by the fact that the drawing of water from one cellar relieved all. The general belief is that the creek running under some of the buildings has become partly blocked and that the water has drained through the walls. This Idea is probably the correct one as the creek carries considerable sulphur water and the water in the cellars had an odor of sulphur. It Is thought by some that a water main has burst on Main street. An Investigation will be made. Destroyed. The statements made by President Mitchell have unusual significance because It is known that many, if nof all, of the anthracite delegates have been maneuvreing to bring their case before the convention and throw It on the national body to carryThree Great Struggles. Squire Slonn aiul Constable O'Bovle "We have had three great struggles in this country.

How far preliminary negotiations have proceeded between the Roosevelt administration aud Japan for the transfer of the Philippines is conjecture, probably only the president, Secretary Taft aud Secretary Root know, with the possible exception of a few other confidential advisers of the administration.

In court, this morning, the jury in the conspiracy cases against Squire Sloan and Constable O'Boyle, of Forty Fort, which retired last evening at 5 o'clock, rendered a verdict of guilty. Judge Halsey was not in court when the verdict was returned and sentence was not imposed. The decendanU will make application for a newtrial. All day yesterday was occupied in hearing the testimony of the defense. It was alleged that It was Impossible to produce the warrants, information and subpenas in court for the reason that Squire Sloan's office had been entered by burglars some time in November and in December, ana the documents had b»en carried off or destroyed. Squire Sloan presented hiq docket and it was closely scanned. He testified that he has tried nearly 200, cases in the past three years, but that of the entire lot he had only returned several cases of larceny to the court for the disposition of the grand jury; that the balance of the cases were merely assault offenses and of such a trivial nature t!| it he discharged the defendants and thought he was doing right in not bothering the county with the trying of ,them and saving the county considerable expense besides. The defense held that there were no fake discharged cases, as alleged by the Commonwealth, and that Squire Sloan had conducted the cases according to law. One of those to support the resolution was Delegate Oermer, of Iowa. During his argument to the convene tlon he made the statement that the present situation between the twp organizations was caused by an antagonism between their officials which had not as yet descended to the rank and file.

This was sakl apropos of the suggestion that party lines would be wiped out in this fight. It provides first for an immediate and comprehensive apology by President Castro for his treatment of M. Tuiguy, which treatment the Paris officials Regard as "Insulting" aud "intolerable." Until this apology Is made discussion of the claims and other grievances which France has against Venezuela will be withheld. Officers Connell, Price and Linnen caused the arrest of three Italians last night. The men were following a man and a vroman, both Englishspeaking people, whom they had seen coming out of a saloon. The police were notified by telephone and the three officers set after the Italians. They were taken to the jail and when searched a long stiletto was found In one man's shoe. Ho was evidently afraid to carry It in his pocket. The three were given hearings this morning. Two were fined $3 each and the stiletto carrier was fined $5 and held under $300 for court. They are still In jail. Sdon after congress convened Senator W.

Mr. Mitchell Aroused. "Outwardly party lines will be maintained, but it would not surprise me to see partisanship disregarded entirely," replied Rlls. President Mitchell took the floor as soon as Mr. Germer had finished. He was considerably aroused. He said: "I defy any miner or any other' person In this country to Indicate where I have ever made a personal attack upon any of the officers of the Western Federation of Miners. Yet every issue of the organ of that association contains false, vicious and malicious attacks upon me. as your president. Am I not maligned and traduced in every Issue of that paper? I am called a fakir and viper and -charged wlt!{ associating with the enemies of the miners. It's not me they're after, nor is It my colleagues on your official board. It's your organization, through your officers. I know this labor movement. I know their methods and tactics. They hope by destroying me to destroy you. I want It understood that I shall at all times do my best to bring about an affiliation between all labor organizations, but as to the acceptance of these cards of the Federation, while I appreciate that in the west miners of metalliferous and coal mines frequently shift from one to the other and some hardship may be caused by present conditions, still I want to call your attention to the fact that we make coal miners pay the Initiation fee and say that when the Federation stops its efforts to tear us down and stops sending its members to take the places of our striking miners, as it did In Colorado, it will then be time enough to consider this proposition. Let them stop taking our jobs." "I don't say that all people who differ from Roosevelt are crooks," he added in a thoughtful manner. "People who honestly differ from the president will agree with him in the end, but all the crooks differ with Roosevelt all the time." The French government considers the action of President Castro's agents in La Guayra in refusing to permit M. Taigny to return to shore after he had boarded a French liner as an act of war. Three alarms were sent in, calling out the entire downtown lire department. The fire In the market house could not be subdued, however, and the structure was entirely destroyed with Its contents. Statement Refused at White House. It now appears that three important dispatches containing instructions for M.

At the White House a statement on the declaration of Jacob A. Riis that President Rooseveit ought to be willing to take a third term to fight the "money power" was refused. Mr. Riis' words, repeated to officials, created a sensation in the city. SLICK BURGLAR IN NANTICOKE Substantial Recompense Disouseed. Stoic a Valuable Gold Watch and $170 When the fact is considered, however, that the United States paid $20,000,- 000 to Spain for the Philippines it is not reasonable to suppose that the administration intends to dispose of them without some recompense. There are rumors that Japan has made some overtures to the American government that the mikado would like to discuss the possibility of securing the Philippines, for a substantial remuneration, as a part of the mikado's plan to become the dominating world power in the orieut. Moreover a dispatch sent Mr. Russell last Sunday had not been delivered to him up to the time of his last dispatch to the. state department. This Is being inquired into by the department.

Only last week Nicholas Longworth, a member of congress from Ohio, who is to marry Miss Alice Roosevelt, made a speech in the house on the Philippines, in which he said that after a personal inspection of the islands and their inhabitants last summer as a member of Secretary Taft's party, he was convinced that the Filipinos are a shiftless, lazy people, of no benefit to the United States, a people that never would amalgamate with the American people and which we would not want to amalgamate with us. Shrewd politicians were convinced that Longworth never would make such a speech without previous consultation with the president and after being convinced that the administration shared his own views.
