Burke's Successor Not Yet Chosen. but
1t as Good as Settled That Makem-
son Will Be Appointed-O
Notes of Interest.

Dallas, Tex, Oct. 13.-(Special.) THE
republican leaders put in a day at what
might be called patchwork. Not a great
deal was accomplished. There were still
signs of friction in some quarters, but
upon the whole the harmony of the last
Sabbath day meeting was still in evil
dence.
The resignation of Maj ]. w. Burke
of Austin as candidate for congress in
the Ninth district was taken up at an
informal session in the morning. The
question of deciding upon Maj. Burke's
successor was considered and the situa-
ton throughout the district was careful
ly gone over. No final action was taken,
but it is as good as settled that Judge
W. X. Makemson of Georgetown, who
is also member of the republican cam
paign committee, will be pitted against
Hon. Joe Sayers and determined eff
fort will be made to land the William
son county man in congress. In this
matter. however, the managers expect
to confer with the republican congress
pitluIS
Hiram McGar, chairman OF the Travis
county republican committee, was re-
moved at a meeting of the campaign
committee and w, B. Brush of Austin
was appointed in his place.
Emmett ]. Scott was appointed chair
man of the Harris county republican
committee. Richard Allen removed. Nc
Gar and Allen were charged with insub-
ordination. 1t was said that they were
openly espousing the cause of Culberson
and the rest of the state democratic
ticket.
In Falls county, where there has been
quite a muddle over the craftsmanship,
the committee decided to recognize Wm
Banks as chairman. The whole list of
counties will be gone over and wherever
reorganization is necessary it will be at
tempted.
The republican leaders were considera-
bly, disturbed over the report that Arthur
Springer and G.. G. Drake. prominent re-
publicans of Fort Worth and former
managers of the Fort Worth Tribune. a
republican morning paper, had bolted the
populist-republican fusion and would
come out for the Culbcrson ticket. Both
Drake and Springer spent the day in
Dallas. Mr.. Drake was asked to confirm
or deny the rumor that he had quit
playing with Chairman Green's party.
He said he was not quite ready to define
his attitude, but would throw out some
hot pointers very soon. There is little
doubt but that Springer is sore, though
his friends declare he will not quit the
party, even on state matters.
At late hour tonight Gen. Huston
had not heard from ex-President Harri-
son in reply to the kilograms sent him
by Chairman Green and himself urging
him to come to Texas.

Against the Chicago Platform.

Marquette, Mich, Oct. 13.-Bishop G..

"The Episcopal church was most large

hesitate to say that any member of the
Episcopal church who supports the Chi
cago platform will do so in the teeth of
the moral teachings of his church.

MAKING FIGURES LIE.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-ChairmaD Jones Of
the democratic national committee gave
out a statement tonight, characterizing
as absurd the figures showing the prob
able result of the election as given out
by Senator Quay. Senator Jones states
that in all the states classed by Senator
Quay as doubtful complete and har-
monious fusion between democrats, popu-
lists and silver republicans exists, rem
dering them certain for Bryan. For the
same reason he classes as doubtful the
states of Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin and
claims for Bryan the electoral votes of
Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky,
Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota and
West Virginia, all Of which were claimed
for Mckinley by Mr.. Quay. The table
given out by Chairman Jones gives 81
votes as certain for Mckinley, 279 for
Bryan and 81 as doubtful.

activity and prosperity the like of which

by saying that the United States never
was so unproperous as it is today, and
then he makes the inquiry, why is not

share of the prosperity that is enjoyed
by England and Germany and France?
We all know, my fellow citizens, why
we are in the midst Of depression now

How can we get that confidence? Can
we get it by threatening the Reputation

Cured several hours before. The news
of the tragedy, which spread with great
rapidity, caused one of the greatest SEN

because Of the announcement by the
Cooper family physician that Miss Cooper
had made two unsuccessful previous at
tempts TO end the lives Of herself and
her mother In the same way.
Notwithstanding the danger TO which
she was constantly subjected, the heroic
mother refused to be separated from her
daughter remaining by her side every
hour. for days and weeks at a time. she
made her will in expectation of the rate
that befell her.
Mrs. Cooper was n cousin Of Colonel

WASHINGTON. December I1.-Semi-
Official advices from Madrid to-day state
that government circles. as well as the
conservative element generally, are en-

Cuba. The first impression created by
the meagre reports cabled TO Spain was
not satisfactory, and produced some
irritation. When the full text Of the

formation that II is the intention OF the
Spanish Government, when certain OF

rule to Cuba on the lines indicated in
the Presidents message.
