HILLS SEAT.
Will Not Be Allowed to Pass
Over to a Republican.
Tammany's Plans Upset BY Straus
Conclusion Not 10 Run.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YoRK, Oct. 19--Nathan Straus
yesterday afternoon sent his secretary,
Mr.. Kincaid, with a letter to the northern
portion of the state to Mr.. Hill with refer
enoe to the question as to whether the SEN
ator's name will be allowed TO stand on
the state Democratic county ticket.
Mr.. Straus' conversation indicated that
he would withdraw from the race for
mayor II Hill allowed the Republican
local ticket TO DO printed on the Demo
cratic state ticket.
An intimate friend Of Nominee Nathan
Straus says: "Mr. Straus has practically
decided To withdraw from the mayoralty
race This decision was arrived st after
Mr.. Straus received word from close
friend OF Senator Hill, in which the latter
declined 10 accede 10 Mr.. Straus' request.
''Such Tammany leaders as Mayor Gil
roy, ex-Mayor Grant, Delaney Nicoll,
John NJ. Bowers and others labored long
and earnestly with MIR. Straus, bringing
all sorts of argument TO bear, but the
nominee was obdurate and insisted upon
withdrawing"
The withdrawal OF Mr.. Straus will once
more put the Tammany slate all awry
and until the leaders meet this even
ing, when the Official announcement OF
Mr. Straus' withdrawal will, it is thought
be made known, everything must be a
matter OF conjecture.
Ii Is admitted by most OF the leaders
that ex-Mayor Grant can have the nom
ination IL he will only accept, but il is not
believed that he Will. Mr. Grant has fro
quently said that his business will not
allow of his engaging in politics. Ii Is
known that he has within the past month
withstood much pressure from such a
source as the gubernatorial candidate on
the Democratic ticket
Then, too, Mr.. Grant was heard to say
he did not think himself strong candi
date, and agreed with Mayor Gilroy that
the candidate Tor mayor should be selected
from outside the organization. 1t is the
opinion OF the rank and iile of Tammany
Hall that Mr.. Grants position is analogous
TO that Of Senator Hill, and that he will
be compelled TO accept the nomination.

A DOUBLE HANGING.
Two Men Known to Have Been crimi-
nails From Childhood.


ST. PAUL, Oct. l9--Governor Nelson
Ermisoh ana Wonigkeit, and they were
hanged this morning These two young
desperadoes, masked, at about o o'clock
OH the evening of May ?, entered the So
loon of L. r. kohlman, commanded every.
body in the room ~ throw up hands and
demanded the cash at the bar They then
shot down and killed Lindholf, the bar
keeper Though Ermisch was but 10 and
Wonigkeit less than II, IL was shown that
from childhood they had been criminals.
They were sent to the reformatory for
burglary, and after two years they camv
back to St. Paul, armed themselves with
revolvers and amused themselves on the
highways leading 20 St Paul by holding
up farmers in broad daylight and robbine
them OF their watches and cash After a
few days at this sport they murdered Lind
holt
After the conviction an effort was made
10 induce Governor Nelson 10 rcprieve the
young men TO life Imprisonment in the
penitentiary. Many feared that the gov
ernor would be prevailed upon, in view OF
the youth of the culprits, To grant the re
prieve. But fortunately the true desperate
character of the murderers soon came &c
light.
Ermisch secured revolver through his
mother, and attempted 10 carry out the
plot for escape laid between himself and
WonigSeit. lie shot and painfully
wounded his death watch and escaped
part way through the Jail. 1t was his in
tention TO corner tho dcath-watch
in the end of the corridor on
his cell floor compel him 20 give
up the key to Wonigkeit's CELL and then
release his partner in crime. But the
death-watch was too quick and foiled his
scheme. Whatever intention the governor
may have had in the matter, this daring
break made IL impossible for clemency 10

The Caucus on the wilson Bill.

If Thursdays caucus of the democratic
senators means anything, it means thai
the Wilson bill, as amended by the
/ finance committee, is to be pressed to q
vote as quickly as possible OF the forty.
/ four democratic senators only one,
! Senator Hill, is likely to vote against the
bill. While he did not say to the caucus
! that he would cast his vote against it, he
asserted that he considered it TO be his
duty to do So not only because the in.
come tax is not in harmony with demo-
cratic doctrines, but, also, because his
state, New York, would have to pay 30
per cent. of it.
The bill can be put through without
Senator Hills vote, provided all the other
democrats support it, and that, it is be-
lieved, they will do Even Senator
Hill, now that many leading New
Workers are so anxious for the passage
of the bill that they are willing to accept
the income tax feature of it, may change
his mind and vote for it.
The prompt passage of the bill has be-
come matter of the utmost Importance.
Senator Hill is doubtless right as to the
damaging effect the income tax will have
on the Democratic party in the eastern
states, but there seems to be no possibility
of defeating that feature of the bill 1t
is in the bill to stay The great majority
of the democratic senators and democratic
representatives favor it, and it looks as if
it must be tariff bill with an income tax
feature or no bill at all
Of 80,
is one that the democrats cannot consider
for moment The political existence of
their party depends upon the passing of a
tariff reform measure. The utterance of
some of the northern democratic papers
that the Mckinley tariff is preferable to
the Wilson bill with its income tax feat
ure is nonsense. Objectionable as the
income tax is, it is far better, not only for
the country, but for the Democratic party,
to accept it as a part of the
system for raising revenue, than for
the party to confess, virtually, by doing
nothing, that il cannot carry out It's
pledges to deliver the people of the bur
dens imposed upon them by the iniqui-
tous Mckinley tariff.
The announcement that the democratic
senators now see their way clearly for
passing the bill within reasonably short
time will have decidedly beneficial
effect 1t will give encouragement to
those who are hopeing for better times
and will strengthen those who are strug-
Cling under the existing business depres-
sion. If the republicans can be induced
to cut short their speeches and let the
bill come to vote at an early day the
country will be out of the woods prac-
ticallY by Jnlv |.

a Good Mans Devotion to His
Daughters.

A very pretty story was told of Thackeray
during hrs American tour. Illustrating the
nOvelists affection for his daughters saws the
Boston Commercial Bulletin Che incident
occurred at the house OF George Ticknor in
Boston, the novelist being a guest OF the
family at that time:
On New Years eve he and Ticknor sat
smoking together in the library. The latter's
wife was also present. The daughters of the
house had gone to party. They sat talking
till IL O'Clock when Thackeray arose and
said he would go to his room.
You are not going to retire yet?" inquired
his host.
NO" was the answer "for always at the
birth of "a new year drink to the health and
happiness OF ny daughters, but do not wish
to keep you up so late.
Pray stay with us, and we will Join YOU
in health to your absent ones"
Thackeray replied that he would be de-
lighted to do so if it would not trespass on
their hours of rest. He sat at the side of the
great fireplace and looked two or three times
at the clock upon the mantel to note the flight
OF minutes.
DO not trouble yourself about the time ~
said Mrs Ticknor, Il will let you know when
it is ~ clock"
AT the moment the new year began Thacke-
ray took in his hand glass OF sherry, rose
to his feet and said in tremulous tones:
God bless my motherless girls! God
bless them and all who are good to them!'
Drinking the wine, he bade his host good
night and without another word retired from
the room, leaving his friends in tears

Augustus Industrial CONGRESS-.

The industrial congress that is soon to
meet in Augusta to consider the best
means for promoting the south's material
progress ought to, and doubtless will,
command great deal of attention. At
this time the south's material condition is
better than that of any other section of
the country. This is evident from the
fact that there are no "commonweal''
armies in the southern states and no
widespread discomfort. There are. of
course, good many men out of employ
ment, but there are comparatively few
that are in such restitution as are tens OF
thousands in the north and west. And
the south stood the money panic of last
summer better than any other section.
owing largely to the fact that her bust
ness methods are more conservative.
For these reasons, and the further
reason that the south is rich in unde-
veloped resources, capitalists and home
seekers are regarding her with much
greater favor than ever before. With
the revival of business and the conse-
quent return of prosperity she will be an
inviting field for capitalists.
What the Augusta congress will do is
this: 1t will call attention to the south,s
advantages and invite an investigation
of them. 1t will also assist in removing
some of the preJudices in respect to the
south that still exist.
The south desires only to get the truth
as to her resources and her other advan-
tages before the world. With that &C
complished, she has no fears as to the re-
suit. Capital and immigrants will come
to her as they have gone TO the west in
years past.
Some of the ablest and most progress
i've men in the south will be present at
Augusta. The papers that will! be read
and the discussions of questions that will
be submitted for consideration will aid in
| shaping the south's industrial policy, and,
at the same time, make known the pur-
pose of the southern people to advance
the material growth of their section by
every means in their power

How a Book was Named.

Here is story from the Boston Herald,
which F. Marion Crawford has been telling
in Washington. and it is interesting enough
to be true; Like every other man of promi-
nence whose name is familiar to the reading
public, Mr. Crawford is frequently asked for
his autograph. With these requests he in
variably complies Last autumn, when his
new story had been carefully thought out and
the work was fairly under way, he received a
letter from two OF the girl students at
wellesley College containing a request
for his signature. One of the letters
was signed ka,harlne Lauderdale To this
and the accompanying letter a prompt reply
was given. But the name haunted him
Katharine Lauderdale," II suggested re-
finement, cultivation, good looks, romance.
1t was just the name for the novel which he
was writing. He sent Miss Lauderdale" an
other letter Would She permit him to call
his story Katharine Lauderdalc?" BY re-
turn mail came an impersonal reply The
young lady had no objection, and the book
reading public was so christeued.
