SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.
LOUISVILLE, May 10--Harmony will
rule at the meeting OF the Republican
National com mite this evening. Thomas
Henry Carter Of Montana will be con-
tinu d as charm IN. and joseph II. Man
ley of Maine will be elected secretary to
fill the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Judge McComas Of Maryland. Mr..
Carter now holds the proxy of the Mon
tana committeeman. A. G. Botkin.
There is some opposition among the
members Of the committee, not so much
to recognizing ~Mr. Carter's ze,l and
loyal services during the campaign by
continuing him as chairman. but to the
met hod bv which this was prop Jsed to be
done. This plan was, as originally out
lined by Messrs. Clarkson, Manley, flo
bart, Lispenard Stewart and others, sim
ply to elect Mr.. Carter chairman. This
would be to ignore entirely the rule OF
the national committee which restricts
its officers TO Its own members. But on
one point the friends and opponents of
Mr.. Carter unanimously agreed, and
that was there must DO no fight at a
funeral" as Mr. Manley loosely put 1t.
Although nothing Is quite clear yet
about til action Of the committees as To
the proposed permanent headquarters,
Mr.. Carter has plan which he vii SUBJ
NIT to the committee and which Is like
ly to receive favorable action, possibly
with some notifications.
Mr.. Carter's idea Is TO establish one
bureau in Washing on, which will deal
with the purely political affairs OF the
party. such AS the perfection and extern
sion of the or sauiz alton in eyers state;
the receiving OF reports aud action there.
on.
He proposes to establish another
bureau in New York, whose special busi-
ness will be TO deal with the tariff ques-
tion and to keep In toucn with the Dusi-
ness interests OF every section OF the
country, so as to make the attitude of
the party OH the general doctrine OF pro-
lection and sveL on the details Of tariff
schedules perfectly In accord with the
most advanced theories as interpreted
by business me1 aud applied in practice
IL produce the greatest prosperity OF the
country.

ESCAPED 70 MEET DEATH.
Murderer ROshl'S Body Found In the
Hudson Near k0Ckland.
IT is PROMPTLY IDENTIFIED.
Badly Decomposed But Positively Recog-
mixed by Detective Jackson and
Keeper Connaughton-Another BODY
Seen at Same Time.

SING SING May 10-The body OF Frank
w. Roehl, who escaped from Sing Sing
prison with Thomas Pallistr on the
night of April 20, was found in the Hud-
son river at 3:45 o'clock this morning by
three fishermen, near Rockland Lake
landing.
The name, Of the fishermen are Fred
Cronk, Benjamin Stratton and Benja-
min Flynn. They brought the body to
Sing Sing landing and sent word that
they thought they had the body Of one Of
the escaped convitts
State detective jackson and Head
Keeper Connaughton at once went to he
landing to indentify the body. De-
tective Jackson said today, "We indenti-
fed the body as that of Roehl beyond n
doubt. In his pocket nothing was found
except the picture OF little child"
The shoes we're prison made aud were
"sneaks."
The body was badly decomposed and
almost beyonl recognition.
The body will be left at the prison
landing until Coroner Sutton arrives and
examines. He has been notified.
The three fishermen say that they
passed another body bet could not stop
for it with the body of Roehl in tow. 1t
is probably that OF Pallister.
Searching parties have te organized
and are now looking Tor the body Of the
other escaped convict.
From this turn OF affairs It would
seem that the men perishei In the storm
which was raging on the night of their
escape.
Had Been Shot In the Head.
An examination was made of the body.
1t was fcuad that he had been shot In
the head on the right side aud killed.
1t is surmised that Roehl aud Pallister
quarreled after they got outside the
prison walls, and that Roehl was shot.
On the night the men escaped terri
BILE storm ragged and the Tappan Y river
was dashed into a fury. A heavy rain
fell and the wind blew a gale. 1t was
the theory of tie officials of the prison
that the men had attempted to cross the
river that mig hit and were drowned.
Undoubtedly Murdered.
1t now appears that Roehl was mur-
dered. Whether before they attempted to
cross the river. while they were crossing,
or after reaching the other side is hard
to tell. State Detective Jackson ON hear
ing that the fishermen who Ia found
Roehrs body had seen another far her up
stream at once directed them to return
and search for it.
Jackson thinks II it is found it will
mean either one or two things, that the
escaped murderers believing their
chances of getting safely away very slim
decided to commit suic de rather than be
recaptured, or that Pallister was
drowned in attempting to cross the river
after numbering 10 ehl.
Rockland land ng, wher, the bod v
was found, is directly across the river
from Sing Sing TIE fis lermsu will re-
ceive the reward of $3.50 offered for the
murderer, dead or alive. When the mur-
derers left the priso, they had revoiver
which was taken from Keeper Hulse. 1t
was with this at Ro,hl was shot.

The Democrats OF the house OF repre-

actively Initiating the part Of the "Art-
full Dodge" The doorkeeper with his
list Of members present counted thir "
seven present at i1:l0 o'clock. The nu M
ber grew TO A the to 48 and roll W as
callel but no quorum was present In the
house. The representatives Of the Democ-
racy were abundant In the lobby but they
preferrei the quarters OF the smoking
room to the more active scenes OF the
legislative room.
T., II. Wilson and other members OF the
majority In vain appealed TO the Demo
crats. They would not aid in legisl at lon
unless they could be assured OF what
they call d fair treatment. "We will
come ill.," said a leader, 'if you will assure
us that we shall be treated court .ousIy
and that there shall be no more locking
OF doors on u.s." But the assurance was
not Forthcoming, and the twenty-eight
members OF the majority contin ued to sit
IN patience until more members appeared.

Of the members to $400 year. This post

An Accidental Burn,

Mike McCafferty was standing
up at the bar in Purnell's saloon
yesterday afternoon, when a rude
fellow lighted large fire cracker
and placed it in McCafferty's
pocket. He then informed him
that his coat was burning. Nc
Catferty instantly placed his hand
In his pocket and as he did so, the
cracker went off, tearing the hand
badly and burning a deep hole in
the mans side. a physician was
summoned and dressed the wounds,
while the police officers went in
search of the man who had COM
mitted the offense, but he could
not be found. McCafferty is in a
serious condition, and his hand may
have to be amputated.
