Washington, Feb. 8.—In a letter to Secretary Taft President Roosevelt says that "the uniform of the enlisted man (of the army or navy) is a badge of honor" and that it entitles the wearer "to peculiar consideration." Washington, Feb. 6.—The senate was treated to a distinct sensation by Mr. Patterson (Dem., Colo.), who followed up his retirement of last Saturday from the Democratic caucus by introducing in the senate a resolution in effect declaring the action of the caucus lo have been contrary to the constitution. of the United States. National board member E. S. Mc- Cullough, of Michigan, said after the board adjourned that It must not be regarded as official but It is hls\belief that the minors will suspend work before there will be an acceptance of any proposition which does not carry with It an increase in wages. Mr. McCullough said that every possible effort will be exhausted to secure an adjustment before strike action is taken. He said that If a suspension does come It would be preceded by a meeting of the national board, which would lisue the strike call necessary to bring the men from the mines. The board adjourned to meet again at the call of President Mitchell. The wedding was a military affair throughout, all of the Indians taking part wore the new, showy cavalry uniform lately adopted by the government, while the Indian girls were dressed In white. The best man was Arthur Sheldon, the famous halfback, a splendid type of the modern red man. The bride selected Miss Lou French, a Umatilla Indian frowi Oregon, as maid of honor. The bride's maids were Miss Anna Govltney. from New Mexico; Miss Christine Chllds. Crow Indian, Montana; Miss Minnie Nick. The ushers were Alfred Venne, physical director at the Institution. Pueblo Indian; William Scholder, Mission Indian, California, the new captain of the football team; Albert Exdendine, Kiowa, Indian Territory. Secretary Taft transmitted the proceedings of the court martial of Lieutenant Roy I. Taylor, who was redjiced twelve flies for unbecoming conduct toward an enlisted mnn of his command. A sergeant of his company occupied a seat at a theater in front of Taylor. At the tatter's request or direction the sergeant moved to another part of the house. The court martial followed.

At noon it registered zero at the bridge and it was slightly above at 1 o'clock. In West Plttston it was three above at 1 o'clock this afternoon. •Mr. Patterson made no effort to se■'rive the privilege of discussing the reriojutlon at the time, but gave notice that lie would address the senate upon it at the first available opportunity. A railroader, who worked on a night .shift last night brought in a report this morning that during the night the thermometer at Fairvlew touched 22 below zero. No report approaching this has been heard from any nearby section. "In my Judgment Lieutenant Taylor committed one of the most serious faults which an officer can commit I am glad that he was reduced twelve files.

It is expected that the Democrats generally will resist the adoption of the resolution and that the Republican senatom will sustain Mr. Patterson's contentions. Aside from the personal Interest in Mr. Patterson's political fortunes the resolution raises a new question as to the rights of senators generally, so that there is much scope for animated discussion and wide margin for difference of opinion. In all probability several days will elapse lDefore the question is settled. Mr. Wallace declared that Mr. Cromwell, though not a member of the commission, seems to have a greater power in all affairs of the canal, that he Is Interested in most of the private enterprises on the isthmus; is at once the agent, for the secretary of war. the canal commission and the French canal company; is protector of the banks, interested in the ice and electric plants, a director of the Panama railroad, as well as the fiscal agent for Panama.

Not only should the country as a whole Jealously guard the interests of these meu and regard their honor as being identified to a peculiar degree and in a peculiar sense with Its own, but the members of the body should themselves feel the same jealous eagerness to uphold the honor and standing of all connected with it.

For Manslaughter on Account Mr. .Wallace declared that Mr. Cromwell, while representing the United States In the capacity of counsel for the commission, Is advocating a claim in favor of the old French canal company, through which the taxpayers of the United States would. If the claim he allowed, have to pay more than $2,500,000 to the Frenchmen upon a claim that was so dubious as to be suspicious and which was contracted by the French company so that It might retain unimpeached its title to the canal proper.

In an Interview Senator Patterson made the following statement: of Deaths of Michael State Haalth Bureau to Prevent Use of River. lgin Vnknown N'oone and Tliomas About 10:15 o'clock last night a fire broke out In the central part of Hazleton city that destroyed property worth $25,000 before It was conquered. Besides, two firemen and two horses were badly burned. The fire started in the three-story building owned by Butcher Frank Koslowski, at the corner of Oak and Wyoming streets. That building was completely destroyed and the two adjoining buildings, owned by Joseph Shepporwlch and A. Deltsch, were also practically ruined. The flames were fanned by a lively breeze and the big buildings made a tremendous conflagration that lighted the heavens for miles around the city. The heat was so intense that the handsome residence of Henry Kunkle, some distance away, was threatened, as also was the house df John Most. The firemen played streams of water on these buildings and finally succeeded in saving them. The fire was of very mysterious origin. Several pedestrians passed the building a few moments before the fire was discovered and they saw no sign of fire. Yet when the firemen reached the building the interior was roaring like a furnace. Fortunately the fire fighting equipment was in excellent condition and the firemen did splendid work. The loss is conservatively estimated at between $25,000 and *30,000.

Taken up by Dep't. "The more civilized a nation is, the more honestly desirous It Is of securing peace, the greater should be the care with which It fosters and encourages the preservation of the military virtues among its citizens, and in no way can this be better achieved thau by a resolute effort to secure proper recognition for the enlisted meu of the army and navy. The uniform of the enlisted man is a badge of liouor. It entitles him to peculiar consideration. It shows that in the great majority of eases he has learned those habits of self command, of «telf restraint, of obedience and of fearlessness in the face of danger which put him above most of his fellows who have not possessed similar privileges. To strive to discriminate against him in any way Is literally an Infamy, for it is in reality one of the most serious offeuses which can be committed against the stability and .greatness of our nation." In connection with the reccnt business visit here of S. Herbert Snow, chief engineer of the fctate Bureau of Health, it was learncll that this bureau Is preparing to proceed against the coal companies Oiat dump Into the river the refuse their works. The dumping of culm Into the public streams is evidently regarded by the health department as a pernicious practice and. under the broad powers given the bureau by the health act of 1906, it will make an endeavor to suppress it. Mr. Snow, It is understood, stated in an unofficial way before he left this place that ho expects to return a month hence to make a general inspection of the river In this section and to examine Into the culm (tuestlon. in the Interest of the department. Mr. Snow stated that all pollution of streams must be stopped and that the ooal companies are among the first that the department of health Is to get after. Senator Morgan had the engineer go over at grent length his meeting with Secretary Taft in New York when Taft demanded Wallace to band in his resignation. Wallace asserted that he was surprised to And Mr. Cromwell there. He had asked that the interview be a personal one. "Cromwell made as If to leave tlie room," continued Mr. Wallace, ''when Secretary Taft said: Cromwell, you remain. I want you to hear all that transpires.'" The verdict was as follows $3,000 FIRE TODAY, • FIREMEN HELPLESS /We the jurors in the case of Thos. O'Brien and Michael Noone, have come to the conclusion that the above two men came tq their death by receiving burns in No. 14 tunnel, of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, on Monday, Jan. 15, 1905; and we further agree that such deaths were due to gross negligence on the part of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, and direct the district attorney to proceed against said company for manslaughter."Mr. Galltnger succeeded during the day in securing the fixing of a dnteJtpc voting on' the shipping bill, the hour named being Wednesday, the 14th Inst., at 3 p. m.

The home of Julius Hoffman, on Terrace street, Wllkesbarre, was destroyed by fire this afternoon. The house was a double frame structure three stories high and was occupied by Mr. Hoffman and David Craxton.

His attitude toward me that day was that of a lawyer cross examining flu udverse witness. He questioned my right to resign."Mr. Grosvenor (O.) ridiculed the alleged popular demand for the legislation, picked flaws In the construction of the bill, complained because no amendments were to be allowed and concluded with the stAtemeut that he should do his best to get the bill out of the house at the earliest possible moment, which was taken to mean that he would vote for It.

A stove pipe extends from the kitchen stove up into the bath room, and thence into the chimney. The pipe became overheated and set tire to the rafters in the floor of the bathroom. It soon ate its way through the rear of the building and this made a channel for the strong wind which was blowing.

It was necessary to get a stream into the attic, and the water used in quenching the flames soaked down through all but two rooms of the house.
