little."
"Then Tammany has decided to oppose
Cleveland?''

up a man whom New York, New jersey
and Connecticut would unite upon. They
seem to be the pivotal States, and it has
been thought best that they should be al

BAYARD'S DOVER SPEECH REPUBLISHED.
his Dover speech republished in the New

than ashamed or afraid of it. His private
secretary has been instructed for a week
to give copies of it to any one desiring

the speech will hurt him with any fair
minded man, but some of the Democrats
in Congress think that its republication,
when taken with the SUMS comments,
may be injurious.

ment.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-FOur years ago
the House of Representatives came to the
conclusion that it must have more fresh
air than it was then getting; so it ap-
pointed a special committee on ventila-
ton, which rigged up new system for
getting the bad air out of the chamber
and getting the good air in. Among other
methods was the proposition for a large
well lighted and well aired lounging lob
by Just behind the House, where members
can smoke a cigar and enjoy the breeZes
whenever the chamber becomes hot and
stutfy. On the walls of the
broad corridor, separating this lob
by from the chamber, are the
portraits Of the eX-Speakers Of the House,
which the House has been diligently col
lecting for years. The portrait of every
Speaker but one, from Muhlenberg to
Carlisle. hangs here-Keifer not being the
one exception. No one knew until to-day
who that one exception was, for there
were two Speakers whose names did not
appear in the collection catalogue. This
was due to the fact that one Of the pOr-
traits was nameless.
FOR YEARS IT HAS BEEN IN THE POS
SESSION
of the House, nameless and dateless. For
years the House has wondered whether it
was the portrait of Theodore Sedgwick,
OF Massachusetts, who was Speaker of
the House from 1899 to 1901, or of Nathan
iel Mason, of. North Carolina, who was
Speaker from 1901 to 1907. At last the
mystery has been swept aside. Young
Rockwell who ntpQfn6 last winter N
succeed Gov. George d. Robinson, of
Massachusetts, in the House, is the Rep
resentatiVe of SedgWick's district.
He has been hunting high and low for
evidence that would show that the name
less picture is Sedgwick's. After a long
search, he has found in the Congressional
Library little book, by Rev. David D.
rus W., Stephen j., David Dudley and
Henry NJ. Field, published at Pittstiead,
Massachusetts, in 1929, entitled
A HISTORY OF BERKSHIRE COUNTY, MAS
SACHUSETTs,
by a gentleman of the county clergy
man and layman, which contains a pOr-
trait of Sedgwick which identifies the
nameless picture in the House collection
as his counterfeit presentment.
In confirmation of RockwelPs
theory is the statement re-
Gently made by Judge Bennett, Con-
gressman-at-large from North Carolina,
that he had been informed by members of
EX-Speaker Macon's family that the old
fashioned gentleman would never consent
to have his portrait taken. On one Occa-
sion, indeed, he became very indignant
while presiding over the Senate as Presi-
dent pro tenn, after his promotion, at dis
covering an artist attempting to sketch
his face, and had the unlucky dog re-
moved.

EIGHT KILLED ON THE RAILS.
Terrible Sequence to a Telegraphist's
Biunder in New Jersey.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June IA train
from Atlantic City, on the Camden and
Atlantic Railroad, ran off the track at
Lakeside, about II miles from Camden,
this morning. The accident was a COLI
sion near Ashland, between the Z o'clock
morning express from Atlantic City and
train Of a few cars bearing an excursion
party Of the Second Presbyterian Church
Of Camden to Lakeside Park.
THE KILLED.
PHILADELPHIA, June II, P. M.--Fol-
lowing is the list Of the killed in tO-day's
accident on the Camden and Atlantic
Railroad: Wesley Palmer. engineer of
the accommodation train George Baxter,
engineeE OF the Lakeside train; Albert
smith, GnductOr Of the Lakeside train:
Nicholas Barber, fireman; Winfield Hill,
mail agent; Frank FentOn. supervisor of
the road, and Gus. Edwards, passenger;
total Z. Sixteen persons were injured,
SIX OF them very seriously.
CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.
1t is SAID that the accommodation train
should have taken a siding at Ashland
Just above Lakeside Park in order TO allow
the excursion tram to pass. The operator
at Ashland, it is charged, is responsible
for the disaster in permitting the accom-
modation to pass without going on the
siding. Efforts were made to obtain the
name Of this operator, but this was i'm
possible owing TO the injunction of secrecy
which prevails with all employees. 1t is
said that the operator was a new man.
ANOTHER DEATH.
PHILADELPHIA, June IA, IL p. None
of the wounded in tO-day's railroad acci-
dent died tonight, making eight deaths so
far. Another probably fatal accident has
grown out Of the same affair. One of the
men engaged In removing the wreck was
managing a rope used in pulling the en-
gines apart when a bolt drew out and
flew back with such force as to crush the
mans skull.

THE NICARAGUAN CANAL
FRANCES MILITARY LAWS.

Widespread Opposition to the Three
Year Measure Now Under COnsidera-
tiOn.
PARIS, June 14.-The three years. mill
tary service bill, which is now before the
Chamber of Deputies, excites much op-
position throughout the country. Fifty
one Chambers of Commerce have adj
dressed a memorial to Prime Min
lister Ferry against the bill.
The petitions urge that the productive
forces of France in agriculture, manufac-
lures and commerce will be seriously
checked, if not wholly lost, through the
withdrawal of young men from trade.
The petitions also point out that this
measure will increase the influx of for
eigners who come to France and gain en-
plOyment to the detriment of Frenchmen.
The expectation is general in parliament
ary circles that the bill will be withdrawn
and the present law maintained.

LITTLE STATES RIGHTS.
Brewster Explains the Relations of Two
Glasses of OAicfaIS

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Secretary
Of the Treasury has issued circular to
the customs officers, communicating for
their information and guidance an opin-
ion of Attorney General Brewster relative
to the respective rights and duties Of Gus
toms officers at quarantine stations. The
Attorney Generals opinion is conveyed
in a letter in reply to one from Secretary
Folger, and is as follows:
SIR-In reply to yours of the 26th ult., ask
ing whether the health authorities Of the
State of South Carolina can legally prevent
an Inspector Of Customs of the United states,
who has been assigned TO duty at a quaran-
tine grounds, from landing at that place,
answer that the duty of the State to police its
navlgable waters and coasts In the interest OF
health does not conflict with the duty of the
United States to police the same grounds in
the interest of their revenue. There is no
conflict in point of theory upon these matters,
and the good sense OF the officers m
trusted with these duties, respectively,
Will no doubt prevent any collision IN
point of fact. Such / understand from the
recent note to be the general experience
OF your department upon the present matter
The United states have clear right to see
for themselves, and by the eyes of their own
officers, whether their customs laws are en-
forced at quarantine stations as well as at
other places. They direct their officers to
execute this duty with reference to the State
nealJn law Sanu regulations. Sucn conformity,
however, is not to amount to an abstention
from official duty. Upon the other hand, that
universal rule, by which upon a conflict be-
tween State and United States laws the
former necessarily gives way, would not JUS
tify customs officers from excluding health
officers from policeing places which the for
mer might have found 1t necessary TO occupy
in the course of their duty.
DELICATE QUESTIONS.
Questions of some delicacy as to the rela-
tive precedence and superiority OF function
may arise between these two classes of OFF,
cials. Their happening need not be antici-
pated, and they will probably be settled as
generally heretofore, by an exercise upon
both sides of liberality and good sense. The
present, however, is not doubtful matter
obviously.
Health officers cannot prevent inspectors of
customs from landing at a quarantine station,
although inspectors must conform their official
action while visiting and remaining at such
stations as well rs elsewhere to all reasonable
regulations in the interest of the public health.
No regulation which forbids their enjoying
ample opportunities for then and there pro-
tecting public revenue is reasonable.
Very respectfully,
BENZ AMIN HARRIS BREWSTER.
Attorney General.
