THE BATTLE STILL ON.

Would Thrust Upon Him.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHI
MCKEEsPoRT, May 2.-George Rees, who
was recommended for the postoffice by Con-
gresham Ray, will not accept the honor,
and Mr.. Ray will have to make another
recommendation. Mr.. Rees called upon
candidate W. E. Harrison tonight and
stated emphatically that he would forward
to Mr.. Raw tomorrow telegram declining
the recommendation, stating that he did
not care to enter the fight. Mr.. Harrison,
as candidate, was prepared to make a
fight for the Office and so are his friends, and
also other candidates.
The outlook presents a very formidable
appearance all round. 1t is, indeed,
an angry looking battle yet. and
from the movements of the oppo-
sition to-day it looked as though they
meant TO make another vigorous fight for
the plum. Who will be pushed forward
now by Mr.. Ray is question that cannot
be answered. Some think it will be left to
Senator Quay and Postmaster General
Wanamaker, while others feel that Raw
will either name some other man or ask for
ballot to decide the question.

His Seat In the House.
OTTAWA, ONT, May 2.-J. G. Rykert,
M. P. for Lincoln, has resigned his seat in
Parliament. He walked out of the House
of Commons amid an uproar. Mr.. Rykert
was charged by the opposition with "bood-
ling"
He is charged with having received S7O,-
900 for using his political influence with the
Government to secure timber limit in the
Cypress Hills, Northwest Territories.
The Government was paid
$1,000 for the limit, which was
subsequently sold for S18O,0OO This was
four or five years ago. This session the
Government was forced bv the opposition
to appoint a committee of investigation.
This was done and the charges were clearly
proven.
The resignation tonight was not very
great surprise. Mr.. Rykert said he had not
been treated fairly either by the Government
or the committee, and he would seek fair
play at the hands of his constituents.

sPRINTERS ARE LIKE POETS.
They Are Born, Not Made, and Training
Doesn't Help Them Much.


Doesn't Help Them Much.
New York SUM-
The one branch of athletic sport in which
there has been recorded no improvement,
which has been virtually at a standstill, is
sprinting. While the record tables show
marked improvement in running, still in
spriDting proper-from so to 300 yards-the
athlete of to-day does not seem able to sup
plant time made by his predecessor of a
dozen or more years ago.
The explanation of this is simple-sprint-
ing is not an acquired accomplishment, but
rather gift of nature. No amount OF as
siduous practice or training will develop
an athlete into successful sprinter unless
he possesses this natural speed. A natural
runner may be made whit faster by learn
ing to start and run properly, but no amount
of tuition or perfection of starting and
running will make an athlete run 100 yards
in ten seconds or fraction thereof unless
he is born runner.

| the colored wife murderer, must hang on
June 26. The Board of Pardons also refuses
to interfere in the case of the Nicely
brothers.
William h. Smith, the colored man who
killed his wife in fit of jealous anger at
their home on Fulton street, will have to
hang on June 26. He was originally sem
fenced to die on April 9, but respite was
granted to allow a fuller consideration of
the case by the Board of Pardons. Yester-
day morning the board refused to take any
action In the matter, and the uxorieide will
suffer the penalty Of his crime.
Sheriff McCandless has not vet received
an official notification of the boards action,
but it is not necessary that he should, as
the respite granted does not affect the
original death warrant, but merely defers
the date of execution until June 26.
NO INTEREST IN HIM.
Smith has not yet been informed of the
boards action, and as he does not read the
newspapers, is not likely to learn of it until
he is told by some of the Jail officials. The
condemned man seems to AXE no interest in
anything except the visits of his spiritual
adviser, Rev. Mr.. Pryor, pastor of the
Ebenezer Church. No other friends visit
him, as the members OF his race seem to take
no interest in him. Until his death warrant
was sent on Smith used to correspond with
his brother at Washington, D. c., but Of
late even that has ceased. He talks to no
one, and all efforts to get him to converse
are fruitless. The warden visits him every
cay, and this is the conversation:
"How are you to-day, Smith?''
"Oh, very we'll.
"Do you want anything?'
"No"
''Can do anything for you?"
'No."
And then Smith relapses into silence,
The man does not appear to notice the
shadow of the gallows, nor take more than
the most languid interest In the efforts made
to save his lite. He goes through the iail
discipline in an apathetic manner, taking
exercise when ordered, and when in his cell
dividing his time between pacing to and
fro and sitting quietly on his bench gazing
into vacancy. His appetite is good, but he
appears to eat merely from force OF habit.
AS TO THE DEATH WATCH.
No preparations for the execution will be
made for several weeks yet, as the rope has
already been made and the work of putting
the gallows together takes but few hours.
The death watch Will not be placed on the
doomed man until ten days before the exc
cution.
The board also refused to interfere in the
cases Of Joseph and David Nicely, Somerset
county, murder in the first degree; Francisco
Cunt, Lawrence county, criminal assault,
and W. P. Brown, Washington county, lar
ceny. PardOns were granted to Dora Scheu-
mann, Allegheny county. larceny; Charles
Laribee, Venango county, murder in the
first degree; Daniel Dougherty, Philadel-
phia, murder in the second degree. Re-
hearings were granted Abraham Buzzard,
Lancaster, burglary, etc.. and Victoria Sa-
Vinski, Northumberland, selling liquor.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsP ArcHr
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.-Since the
Sharon divorce case San Francisco has

ship of husband and wife, and agree to love
and cherish each other through life if we
possibly can."

dent of Cazadoro, Cal, and Nellie J. Lenont,
an English woman OF the same age, and a

AN OFFICIAL ANACHRONIsM
VIII Probably Delay Legislation on the
Oklahoma Question.

GUTHRIE, May 2.-Another very import
ant error has been discovered here in the
Oklahoma bill, in section 81, alluding to
the communication clause. 1t reads as printed
in the bill and copies of the Congressional
Record received here as follows: within
the limits described in the Presidents
proclamation OF April 1, 1882"
The President issued no proclamation on
that date relating TO opening Oklahoma or
any other subject. The proclamation re-
ferred to was issued on March %, 1889, de-
rlaring the country open for settlement on
April %, 1889. This error will probably
further delay the passage of the bill.
