A North Carolina University Professor
the First American to Discover an
Element Result of Ten Years'' La
bor With Thorium.
New York, March S, Dr. Charles
Baskervillle, professor of chemistry
and director of the laboratory in the
University of North Carolina an
nounced to night before the Chemists'
club in this city, his discovery that
thorium, hitherto known as one of the
seventy primary elements, is complex
in its nature. Dr. Baskerville has re
solved thorium into two new elements.
He has named one of these Carolini
um. after the state, and the other
-Berhileum. in honor of the great Swed
ish chemist who nearly a hundred
years ago discovered thorium. It has
never 'before been the good fortune
of an American chemist to discover
a chemical element. Dr. Baskervilie's
discovery of two new elements is the
result of ten years of persistent labor.
PANAMA CANAL TRANSFER.
- : ,
Formal Contract Will Be Signed at
the American Embassy in Paris. -
Paris. Axril 6. After a conference
between Ambassador Porter and W.
A Day and Charles W. iRussell, the
assistant attorney generals who came
from "Washington to assist in the
transfer of the Panama Canal proper
ty, it has been arranged that the sign
ing of the contract whereby the Unit
ed States will acquire the ownership
of the Panama canal will take place
at the United States Embassy, which,
is nominally American soil. The date
of the signing is not yet fixed, but
probably it will be about ApriJ 25, fol
lowing the ratification of the agree
ment by the stockholders of the com
pany. Some of the officials of the company
thought that the informal handing
of the effects, archives. &c, of the
company to representatives of the Uni
ted States wrould suffice, but the Amer
ican officials prefered the execution of
a formal contract completely covering
the transfer and safeguarding all
American interests. This contract is
being drawn up in conformity with
all the requirements of both the 'French
and American laws.
Formal appeal against the recent
decision of the court in favor of the
sale of tte concessions and other prop
erty of the company has not yet been
entered, but the Americans are pro
ceeding to carry out the transfer with
out reference to the appeal or other
dilatory proceedings-
PROFESSOR BOWNE ACTTITTED

New York, April 8 In the New
York conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church today, the commit
tee to which had been referred the
charges of heresy against Professor
Borden P. Bowne. of Boston Univer
sity, reported that they found none of
the five specifications in the charge
had been substantiated and that they
had therefore acquitted him- This
closed the case, as the' action Of the
committee was final.
Shortly ofther the report of the
committee was read, the Rev. C. S.
Wing, presiding elder of the Brooklyn
North District, announced that ney
charges of a different nature had
been lodged with him by the Rev. Mr.
Cooke against Professor Bowne. These
accusations were that Professor
Bowne had written libellous articles,
that he had defamed the character ot
others, and had stirred dissensions in
the church.
.The Charges were nlaced in the
hands of a committee of three, which
subsequently recommended that they
be not considered and the recommen
dation Was adopted by the confer

AROUSING LOWER ELEiMENT.
Attempt to Have the Anti-Senitic Dem

New York. April 8. Oscar S. Straus,
former United States minister to Tur

Russia, said today that he had accu
rate knowledge that pamphlets and
circulars were recently distributed
in Odessa for the purpose of arousing
the lower element to repeat in that
city during the coming Russan Easter
the massacres which took place a
year ago in Kishineff.
"The matter," said Mr. Straus, "has

Chicago. April 8. In an interview
relating to Northern Securities mat
ters, The Record Herald quotes James
J. Hill who 'was in Chicago today,
as follows:
. "M-r,Harriman undoubtedly, is try
SF secure control of the Northern
i-acine. That is easy enough for any
one to see. However, the laws of
fle of the states through which
I short Line and the North-
ent Pacific run are utterly opposed to
sucn ownership or control, and I pre
sume he would be prevented from ac-
SwsP'-1Shin" WS PurPse by those
Asked if Mr. Harriman would se
cure control of the road in event that
courts sustain his views regarding the
distribution of Great Northern and
orthern Pacific stock, Mr. Hill re-
"He would not in my opinion."
In the Harriman-Pierce petition, it is
stated that Mr. Harriman received
nearly $9,000,000 together with North
tfn Securities stock in exchange for
Northern Pacific stock.
When asked why this sum was given
Mr. Harriman, -Mr. Hill replied:
it was part of the purchase price of
common and preferred Northern Paci
fic stock held by Mr. Harriman- He
sold his Northern Pacific stock abso
lutely and did not exchange it."
In speaking of the Pierce suit, Mr.
Hill said:
Mr. Harriman claims that it is a
friendly suit. That is all I know about
it. '
Speaking generally about the securi
ties decision. Mr. Hill said:
"The Supreme court has affirmed the
decision of the. circuit court, and in or
der to comply with the terms of that
decree, the Northern Securities Com
pany is making a ratable distribution
of its railway stocks. In view of the
fact that there are over 60,000 transfers
and re-transfers, this is the only equit
able distribution that could nossiblv bp
made. That question, however, will be
determined. Dy the courts. Every stock
holder has a right to have his legal
status determined by the courts if he
sees fit. The . Union Pacific interests
have the same right in this respect as
any other shareholder except in sofar
as .the right might be affected by the
snerman act.
A NATIONAL QUESTION.
Dr. Mcldcn Hits the Southerners and
Appeals for the Negro.
New Ybrk, April 8. In New York
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the session being held f.ndrer
the auspices of the Preedmen's Aid
and Southern Educational' Society,
the Rev. Dr. C. M. Melden, of Provi
dence, R. I., formerly president of
Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., discuss
ing the negro problem, said in part:
, "Unfortunately there are many peo-
'(Mh vhf); think tfvxt the ,
business of solving the negro problem
ought to be Ieft to Southerners!. Do
you know what it means? It means
that if such workwas left to Southern
ers, like Senators Tillman and Money
and Governor Vardaman, the colored
man would be reduced to virtual peon
age. They threaten a massacre ratner
than allow 'the negro his rights under
the constitution. Senator Money is a
man of the same stripe as Tillman, but
not such a loud talker. But the men
have mentioned represent a loud
mouthed and large cass in the south.
"To meet it seems to be a nataonal
question. It is impossible for America
to take a high place among the nations
while millions and millions of the col
ored people are sunken in darkness,
and like a festering mass are breeding
diseiase that isi like moral malaria.
Because of this menace to the country.
the subject is a national one."
HEPBURN-DOLLI VER BILL.
Favorable Report on 3Ieasure Giving
States Police Power Over Original
Liauor Packages.
Washington. April 8 The report fa
voring the passage of the Hepburn
Dolliver bill, granting the States police
power over original packages cf liquor
shipped within their borders, as inter
state commerce, was filed in the House
today by Representatives Clay ton, of
Alabama. The report says the bill is
not a prohibition measure, but its sole
purpose "is to allow each state to car
ry out its own domestic policy in regard
to the control of intoxicating beverages
within the boundaries of the state. The
sole effect will be to permit tne state,
if it so wills, to circumscribe the sale of
intoxicating beverages within its boun
daries, to the full extent that it may
desire to restrain such traffic, or to reg
ulate the sale of the same through the
medium of its own laws, including lo
cal option laws, high license laws, or
dispensary laws."
HARD FIRE TO FIGHT.
Firemen Made Desperate Struggle to
Subdue Flames in a Paint Shop.
New York, April 8. After a hard
fight that lasted two and a half hours
to-day, the firemen succeeded in sub

iron building at the southwest corner
of West .Broadway and Franklin
streets, occupied by James Barron and
companv wholesale dealers in paints
and vTrious household articles, all of
a highly inflammable nature. Twice
there were terrific explosions, that
scattered the fire, each time g Jving- it
a fresh start. The damage is $150,000.
So great were the quantities oi vaa-r
poured into the building that West
Broadway was flooded to a depth of
two feet, and the cellars adjoining
buildings were filled.

The Government's Con-,
tracts for Cancelling
i
Machines
P.O. DEPARTMENT
Democratic Senators Contended That
tfie Rental Was Excessive and Was
the Same That Was Paid by Beavers.
3Ir. Dodge Denied This Several
Amendments Were Adopted and the
Postoffice Appropriation Bill Was
Still Under Consideration When the
Senate Adjourned.
' Washington, April 8. The contracts
for cancelling machines used by the
postoffice department,, constituted the
principal question of debate in the
Senate today, in conection with, the
postoffice appropriation bill. The sub
ject was pursued by Mr. Culberson,
who introduced an amendment reduc
ing the rental of the machines.
In the course of the debate that fol
lowed, the Democratic Senators
charged that the rental now paid was
the same that was padd under the con
tracts made by George W. Beavers,
w-hen he was chief of the salary and
allowance division of the postoflice de
partment, and that they were exces
sive. Mr. Lodge denied this charge,
saying that there was no proof of its
truth.
Mr. Clay supported the amendment,
quoting from Mr. Bris tow's report, in
which the Beavers contract for the
machines was denounced, and saying
that, notwithstanding this denuncia
tion, the contracts were continued.
"Mr. Bristaw," said Mr. Clay, "tells us
that we pay 200- per cent, on these
machines each year, and I see no rea
son for continuing the Beaver arrange
ment." "Unless they want to vindicate him,"
said Mr. Culberson.
Mr. Scott expressed the opinion that
it was not right to attempt to deprive
patentees of their rights under th?
law. .
Mr. Clay said that the cost of keep
ing in repair $50 machines was about
$12.50 per year, while the rental was
Mr. Scott replied that the fourth
assistant postmaster-general had just
telephoned to the Senate that $200 was
the cost of keeping in repair the ma
chine on which a rental of $400 was
paid.
T don't care what is 'phoned," re
sponded Mr. Clay. "There is. not a
word of testimony to that effect," He
suggested that the machines should be
bought.
Mr. Lodge replied that some of the
machines could not be bought, and
said that to fail to use- them would
very materially increase .expense for
clerk-hire.
During the debate there was refer
ence to the head line "charges against
members of Congress," and Mr. Money
again related his futile effort to ascer
tain who its author was. He also re
peated his conviction that the charge
had been made to divert attention
from "the rascalities of the postoffice
department."
Mi. Gallinger express?! the opinion
that the headline had been inserted
at the printing office, saying that he
had known of many .such instances.
To this suggestion Mr. Money replied
that any official or employe of the
printing office who would make such a
change in copy should be disciplined.
He denounced the headline as "men
dacious, majlicious and slanderous."
The amendment was lost.
An amendment offered by Mr. Hoar,
refifaMng exist? rig law requiring post
masters to reside in their own deliv
ery districts, aroused oposition on the
part of Messrs. Monev and Culberson.
Mr. Money said that the statute should
be restricted rather than extended.
and, he said, in his state postmasters
were carpet baggers, brought from
one part of the state to the, other. He
added that he had no desire to take
from the Republicans the privilege or
appointing their own men to office,
"because," he said, "every time you
appoint a Democrat we lose a man
and you gam one. I want the Kepuo-
lu a-M outhorities to make tne Republi
can party . as odious as possible in my
state, and I may add that, as in the
case of Bill . Jones' epitaph, they have
done their best, and angels could do
no more. .
The amendment was declared out of
order but was afterwards accepted in
modified form, so as to require post
masters to reside in the town or cities
which they officially serve.
An amendment sugcrested by Mr.
Simmons, prohibiting the postmaster
general from refusing to establish ru
ral free delivery routes on account of
the condition of the roads also was
accepted. ,
The postoffice bi'l was still under
consideration when the Senate ad
iourned. The first hours of the session were
devoted to a discussion of Mr. Patter
enn rvf ti Ohinse question, in which
he maintained that the exclusion laws
would he- effective after December ,

USE OF THE MAYFIAHYEK.
Secretary Moody Gives a Detailed His
tory of the Services to the President.
Washington. April 8. Replying t0- a
criticism of the use of the naval steam
yacht Mayflower, filed in the House,
for reproduction in the Congressionl PJec
ord by Representative Williams, of
Mississippi in the form of a newspaper
clipping. Representative Foss. chalrman
of the naval affairs committee today
filed, also to be printed in the Record,
a letter from Secrretarv Mood v. e-ivinc-
a detailed history of the use of the
juaynower by the President.
He says the Mayflower is not, as wa
stated in the criticism, denominated
"the President's Yacht."
"She receives her orders from the
department in the same manner as oth
er vessels. In accordance with a. cus
tom of long standing, however, a ves
sel of the navy has been placed at tho
disposal of the President from time to
time as he may direct. The Mayflower
has been the vessel selected for this
service."
Secretary Moody says the President
has been aboard the Mayflower less
than 40 hours and has traveled 94 miles
in he.r. His family has spent a week
aboard the vessel, traveling 410 miles:
All expenditures occasioned by these
visits of the. president or his family
have been paid by him. No money has
been spent in refitting the vessel for the-
'President's use. During the last;twenC"
ty-one months, the Mayflower 'has
cruised 22,000 miles in the naval service.
