HIS FRIENDS DESERT.
BRECKINRIDGE ALONE TALKS
OF FIGHTING 1T OUT.
Former Allies Acknowledge His
Defeat-OWens' Plu- I
rality.

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 1s.-There is
absolutely no doubt that w. G. Owens
has secured the nomination as Demo-
cratic candidate for congress from the
Ashland district. The official count Of
the various county committees shows a
plurality for Owens of 270 over Breck-
inridge. While Breckenridge seemed
determined to have contest before the
district committee at Frankfort next
Saturday there is no doubt that the
committee will refuse to throw the
nomination TO Breckinridge. as such
action will, In the opinion of conserva-
tive Democrats, completely disrupt the
Democratic party in this district. Sew
eral strong Breckenridge men were in
terviewed today, and all expressed
themselves as opposed to any contest.
They say that Breckenridge is undoubt-
edly defeated. and believe that it would
be bad policy to stand against the will
of the people. A number of bets against
Owens were paid today. The wide in
tereSt in the election was shown today
by telegram from I.akota, N. d.,
asking: Can Breckinridge win?" The
answer was sent: HE cannot win,
Pauline; he cannot win"
Col. Breckenridge was on the streets
of Lexington great deal today, and
greeted everybody with his customary
p0litenesS. He stands by his manifesto
issued last night. but says he has noth-
ing to add to it.

BUCKEYE SENATOR READY TO
MEET HIS ENEMIES.
Preliminary Work for the State
Convention Which Meets
Today Arranged.

COLUMBUS. o., Sept. 1S.-The Demo-
cratic state convention will assemble In
this city tomorrow at 10 a. IN. This
evening at O'Clock the delegations
from the various districts met and Sc
lected members to act on the several
committees. The chief feature of the
day was the arrival of Senator Brice,
against whom an effort has been
made by some of the delegations to
work up a sentiment OH account of his
attitude in the late tariff fight in con-
gress. The senator had trusty lieuten-
ants ON the ground to look after his in-
terests, as appears by the make.up of
the various committees. The anti
Brice men claim four out of the twenty
one members of the committee on resO-
lutions. the principal of whom is Con-
gressman Tom johnson, OF Cleveland.
The Brice men claim all but two men,
bers. i he committee is also regarded
as strongly in favor of free silver, the
most prominent advocate of this issue
being Allen &. Thurman, of Columbus.
The committee on resolutions is as fol-

GOV. FLOWER DECLINES
NEW YORK GOVERNOR IS NOT
A CANDIDATE.
Murphy and Hill Have a Confer
ence With the Executive just
Before the Announcement

ALBANY,N.Y., Sept. 1S.-Gov. Flower
today declined to be candidate for re-
nomination for governor. He made
known his determination after long
interview with Senators Hill and
Murphy. At the conclusion of the
interview Gov. Flower said to an Asso-
ciated Press reporter: ~ am convinced
that my nomination, if it should be
accorded me by the convention, would
not be so likely to command the full
vote of the party as would the nomina-
ton of some other Democrat, and | am
too deSirous of party success to be
candidate under these circumstances,
At the conclusion of the conference
this morning Senator Murphy declined
to be interviewed. He said, however.
that the decination of the governor to
be a candidate had been wholly volun-
tary, and that no influence had been
brought to bear on him.
When Senator Hill was approached
he was silent, and, with one OF his char.
acterlstlc smiles, said he did not know
anything.
When Senator Hill left the executive
chamber he went direct to the residence
of Hon. John Boyd Thacher. This is
said to have great deal of significance.
as Mr.. Thachsr has been mentioned as a
candidate for governor.

BENEFIT TO CHINA.
War Will Result In Opening Up
the Country.

LONDON, Sept. 1s.--A special to the
Times from Berlin says that the I'm
perial Gazette publishes the text of the
circular that China addressed to the
German minister at Pekin informing
him that effective measures should be
adopted to protect the subjects of neu-
trail powers. The circular says that
German traders and missionaries may
therefore attend to their duties, and
need fear nothing from the war.
The Germans engaged in the iron
and steel industry feel confident that
the war will promote trade between
Germany and China. If China ultim-
ately wins she will nevertheless dis
cover the advantage that Japan secured
by freely admitting the products of
Western civilization. and will be COM
PEELED to follow in Japan's foot
Steps to avoid defeat in the future. If
Japan be victorious, China will have no
choice but to employ European mate
rial to raise her army and navy to the
requisite efficiency. 1t is not expected
that the war will exercise favorable
influence In German trade with Japan.

The state Democratic administration
is denounced for extravagance. Ma
tional affairs are referred to as follows:
"The Democratic president of the
United States and the Democratic
chairman of the ways and means com
mlttee or the house of representatives
have announced that the war against

this challenge, and pledges itself to de.
fend against all assault the rights of the
workingman and his employer, both
wantonly invaded by reckless dema-
gogues."
Then follows an arraignment of the
Democratic administration, declaring:
