Taft, secre­ tary of war, returned Friday from his trip around the world, bringing re­ newed assurance of Japan's friendli­ ness toward the United States, but declining to say anything with respect to the political situation in this coun­ try. He .said that he had been too long out of intimate touch with political af­ fairs at home to discu&s them in any way. One of Mr. Taft's interviewers had the temerity to ask: "Well, sec­ retary, tell us who is your choice for president" Amid general laughter, In which he heartily joined, the secretary replied: "I. ..guess I will have to leave that to inference." Mr. Taft left for Washington on an early afternoon train, saying that a©- BLOWS EXGHAN6E0 IN HOUSE WILLIAMS AND DE ARMOND RE- SORT TO FISTICUFF8.

"It is the height of foolishness to talk of possible war with Japan," de­ clared the secretary. "Japan doesn't desire war with us and we certainly do not desire war with Japan. If there was any war spirit anywhere In Japan, I failed to find the slightest note of It Everywhere there was talk of con­ tinued peace. I speak very confidently about this. Our trade relations with Japan are extensive and constantly growing. Japan's exports amount an­ nually to about $160,000,000, of which we take about one-third. The exports consist largely of mattings, lace goods, embroideries and other fancy work, in the production of which many people are interested.

Cleveland, O.--The Gleuville Bank­ ing & Trust company, a small concern In the suburbs, made an assignment late Thursday in the insolvency court Washington.--The spirit of rivalry that for five years has alternately smoldered and blazed between John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, leader of the minority, and David A. De Ar- mond of Missouri, leader of the minor­ ity opposition, culminated in a fist light Thursday on the floor of the house of representatives. The blows of Mr. De Armond caused blood to flow down the face of Mr. Williams, and only the forcible inter­ vention of friends cut the combat shcrt. Mr. Do Armond bore away a scuffed nose. The Immediate cause of the fight was the passing of the lie by Mr. De Armond to Mr. Williams, resultant of a complaint by the former that the minority leader had broken faith in "burying" Mr. Booher of Missouri by recommending his assignment by Speaker Cannon to the committee on coinage, weights and measures. According to the statements of the principals, Mr. Williams defended his action by declaring he had been told by Mr. Booher's colleague, Mr. Lloyd of Missouri, that, the committee as­ signment would be satisfactory to Mr. Booher. Mr. De Armond bluntly ques­ tioned the truth of the statement, and after the failure of an effort on his part to transfer the scene of con­ troversy, Mr. Williams struck Mr. De Armond a blow in the face with closed fist. The exciting incident will not be set down in the official records of the Sixtieth congress, for the house had been some minutes adjourned when the first blow was struck. Some representative cried out: "Look, look at the fight." Everybody looked: but go startled were they by what they saw that no one seemed for the moment to think of rushing for­ ward and stopping it. Meantime Mr. Williams and Mr. De Armond, wedged between two rows of desks, were still exchanging blows. Blood was flowing down the face of the leader of the minority, while Mr. De Armond was endeavoring to grasp his opponent by the throat, at the same time vigorous­ ly returning blow for blow. Then everybody awoke to the un­ seemliness of the scene and crowded in and made an end of it. CIGARETTES CAN BE SOLD. Illinois Law Doesn't Prohibit It, 8tys Supreme Court. Springfield, 111.--The supreme court Wednesday handed down an opinion declaring the anti-cigarette law passed by the legislature this year does not apply to cigarettes which contain pure tobacco, but only to those cigarettes which contain substances deleterious to health. It holds that the legisla­ ture has the right under the exercise of its police power to pass an act pro­ hibiting the sale of cigarettes, but that It cannot prohibit the sale of cigarettes under the pcesent act, the title of which only provides for the regulations^ the sale of cigarettes. The act of June, 1907, prohibiting the sale of theater or amusement tick­ ets for prices greater than the amount printed on the face of the tickets, was declared invalid. The supreme court also decided that Mayor Busse of Chicago removed without authority five members of the school board appointed by Mayor Dunne. MANY KILLED BY EXPL08I0N.

Jacobs Creek, Pa.--From the Darr mine of the Pittsburg Coal company, where a terrific explosion Thursday imprisoned and almost beyond doubt killed every one of the 200 or more men who had entered the mine for the day, only six bodies had been brought to the surface up to ten o'clock Friday night. Others have been located and lie in the entry awaiting a propitious time for their removal to the temporary morgue. Most of them, however, are still hemmed in by heavy falls of slate and other roof formation, a mile and a half and more beyoud the polnt^to which the rescuers have penetralied up to this time. Rescue work has been halted. vast amount of bratticing must b| done before' it can proceed. The res­ cuing parties, 7,500 feet from the main entrance, have found conditions such that to avert an additional disaster precautionary work must be done. The poisonous gases must be forced from the sections beyond and addition­ al air and ventilation must be pro­ vided for that section. To neglect these precautions and proceed with the explorations is to risk the life of every man of the rescuing force. To provide these safeguards will require hours of time, and it is not believed that the great mass of bodies will be reached before late Saturday after­ noon. Conditions round about the mines and In this town are greatly improved. The men who began a holiday cele­ bration by drinking and feasting havp sobered up and ceased their caroi/s- ing and disorder. Conrad Schuth, 48 years old, crazed by the death in the mine of his sop and other relatives, ended his own life Friday by drowning In the river near the mine. He was a widower and leaves four small children. Mrs. Carrino Delano was restrained from committing suicide with great difficulty. She lost her husband and two sons in the disaster, and in quest of the bodies was crossing the river in the "sky ferry," a basket car sus­ pended from a cable, when she was seized with the idea of leaping into the stream. In the frail car the ef­ forts of three men were required to restrain her until a landing was reached. President John Mitchell, of the Unit­ ed Mine Workers of America, tele­ graphed from Indianapolis, authoriz­ ing district officials to draw upon the national treasury for $1,000 for re­ lief of the families of the victims. TROOP8 TO LEAVE GOLDFIELD. President's Order Causes 8ensation in the Nevada Town. Washington. -- President Roosevelt Friday administered a stinging re­ buke to Gov. Sparks of Nevada for neglect of duty by the peace officers at Goldfleld. At the same time the president or­ dered withdrawn on December 30 the federal troops now at the mining town, because, as he telegraphed Gov. Sparks, he saw no reason why the fed­ eral government should do ordinary police duty which local authorities are unwilling, apparently, to perform. Goldfleld, Nev.--News of the presi­ dent's order removing the federal troops from Goldfleld on December 30 has caused a sensation among the mine owners and the resi­ dents of the city generally.

Reynolds, commanding the troops here, and between the mine owners and members of President Roosevelt's commission. President McKinnon and other offi­ cials of the miners' union said tlfat the possibility of disorder or violence of any sort will be no greater after the removal of the troops than now, and that they will use every endeavor to maintain peace and quiet. Attorney O. N. Hilton, sent here by President Moyer of the Western Fed­ eration to assist in effecting, if possi­ ble, a compromise for the Western Federation of Miners with the Mine Owners' association, after a confer­ ence with President McKinnon said that he was assured no violence would be attempted. He said also that the position of the miners of the Western Federation is unchanged!
