Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
SMYRNA, Del, Aug. IA reporter Of
the EVENING JOURNAL called upon Hon.
John II. Hoffscker, speaker OF the
House, this evening, and asked II the
report that he had come out as a candi-
date for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination. had any foundation. He said
that he was not candidate and had told
those who had approached him, advising
him to declare himself candidate, that
as there were several others In the
field he did not care TO run against them
or their chances. In answer to the ques-
ton: "But, Mr.. Hchaeker, should the Re-
publican State Convention force the
nomination upon you would you accspt
it?" he smilingly replied: well, in
that case l should consider 1t my duty
as good Republican to ran on the
ticket

II occurs everywhere, SO there Is no
use In asseveratlng that race discrimina
tions occur only In the South and for
political purposes In Baltimore, q few
days ago, q negro lemonade vender who had
a booth at the post Office, refused to 40
commodate customers Of his swn rave.
He made NO further explanation than
that they were undesirable customers.
There may have been two reasons for
this, first, they were offensive and I'M
profitable in themselves, and second,
they may have been obnoxious 20 better
customers. No matter what may have
been the cause, the fact remains
that the negro lemonade dealer
did not serve lemonsde TO negro
customers, The administration proposes
to make test case Of IL and drive the
lemonade dealer, away from the govern
ment property. but that win pot alter
the fact that the same prejudice exists
against familiar contact on thls side OF
the Potomac as on the other side. OF
course all UtopiSns and impracticablei
deprecate race prejudice, but practical
common sense people see IL, acknowledg'
1t and svoid it. Only q fool runs hi
head against it and tries to force 1t on
of notice. 1t may be softened an'
avoided; it is foolish to attempt t
ignore it or stamp it out Of existence.

THE Morning News maintains that the
farmers of this county should be per-
feotly satisfied with their condition be-
cause William Homewood Of Newark says
the condition oflthe farmers in England Is
worse. The dweller on earth should not
cherish any hope Of Heaven because those
who have been condemned to sheol are In
a worse condition. The News has a great
head. The elyslum which the pr0tes-
tionlsts have been prophesying for the
farmer and the laborer has not arrived
and it is consequently difficult to convince
the farmer that the prOtectionist Is not q
fool or q liar, because the very condition
of debt, low prices, poverty and distress
which he declared could not come under
protectlonism with the "homs market,
has come. When the farmer expected 1

SAN Francisco, May At is esti-
mated that at least 5, 900 visitors boarded
the cruiser Charleston this afternoon,
when seven steamers were required to
accommodate all who wished to take adj
vantage OF the last opportunity to visit
the flag ship before she departs for Val
paraiso, next Wednesday. The number
who visited the vessel during the eight
days she was open for inspection will
probably foot up over $4,000. Captain
Leale, of the steamer Caroline, engaged
in carrying passengers to the man-of-
war, as an additional attraction, engaged
George Whistler, the swimmer, to give
aquatic exhibitions during each trip.
On the first trip Whistler, in his Boyn-
ton rubber suit, sprang into the water
from the vessel, blew up a raft
with torpedo, and otherwise
disported himself in the waves
for the benefit Of the interested specta-
tors. The Caroline soon reached the
Charleston and Whistler was lost to
sight. When the Caroline returned to
dock, Captain Leale thought that Whist
Ter had swan in, and would meet him,
but he did not appear for three hours
later. When he jumped from the YES
sci small hole was torn in his inflated
rubber suit, which gradually caused
it to fill with water, the weight
Of which began dragging him
down. Retaining his presence
of wind, Whistler inflated two rubber
bags which he carried as precaution.
Then he shouted and signaled to passing
vessels. but none understanding the sig
nails, no assistance was rendered him till
he had drifted with the tide opposite
Harbor View, and was rapidly being
carried out to sea, when the schoone
Euph emia picked him up.

yesterday. In the interview Yesterday
evening Mr.. Martin said she called to
see about a sensational article which
appeared in Brooklyn paper last No
vember over Inspector Byrnes's sigma
ture, containing alleged facts and remin
iscences about certain notorious adven-
turesses, with one of whom was coupled
the name of Victoria Woodruff and the
other, Tempy Claff1ln. "This article"
said Mrs. Martin, "was sent broadcast
throughout England, mailed to almost
every friend of my husband and used in
such a way as to indicate the basest
attempt on the part of some one who
will yet be exposed
Mrs. Martin said Inspector Byrnes
said he did not write the article, did not
authorize it's publication, and knew
nothing about it until it appeared in
print. He admitted that it was written
in his house, but claimed that news
paper man came to him for the facts,
and he invited friend, conversant with
the facts to furnish them.
Mr.. Martins version of the story
made it appear that Byrnes had not al
together repudiated the story, but de-
clared, on the contrary, that he had
some evidence as to the past career Of
Victoria and her sister. But he had no
evidence to show that she was the Vic
toria Woodruff the people used to talk
about.
eyes," interrupted Mrs. Martin, "and
that's where much trouble has come
from. There were any number of peo-
pie who travelled under the names of
Victoria Woodruff and Tenny Clafflin,
and we were made scapegoats for all
their misdeeds."
Mrs. Martin, nee Victoria Woodruff,
was seen tonight in reference to In
spector Byrnes's statement. She was
furious with anger, and she could not
understand the Inspectors action. She
said persistent persecution was gradu-
ally driving her crazy.
