simple goods, with hands black with oil
stood up, redolent~of the odor of engines
and railroad cars, in Justice Under

o'clock in the morning and had brought
him in. Osburne said that he was not In

Justice Underwood studied the prisoner

"You talk like an educated man. he
remarked. 'Were you brought up In the

The young man smiled, just trifle
sadly.

ton helping me to amusement in my
evenings, when l can read Virgins or Ho-

turn to his engines.

The "New Industrial South. u

New York, March 1S.-The New In
dustrial South" was the subject of lee
ture delivered by Carroll d. Wright
United States commissioner of labor, be-
fore the school of social economics to-
night. He said the south was forty times
as rich in mineral wealth as England. The
coal district of the south, Appalachian
region, has been wonderfully developed
of late. The output of pig iron is i'm
mense. The prospects for steel are ex-
cellent. Ten thousand miles of new rail-
road have been constructed in the past
ten years. The coored population have
not adapted themselves generally to the
use of machinery. In the past ten years
SIG, 900, 900 have been expended for edu-
cation. He believed the industrial
schools would be of great service in de-
yeloping the Industrial south.

torpedo boat Ericsson was not launched
from the marine railway today as ex-
pected, a claim for $4,000 having been
made against her by United States Mar
shall Marris, representing the govern
ment. The claim, 1t is understood, was
for the amount paid by the government
and the attachment was made In order
to protect the rights of the government.
Claims for damages, wages, material and

Milwaukee, March 1S.-Ex-Senator
Phletus Sawyer won out in the republic
can state convention this afternoon, and
his victory demonstrated that notwith-
standing the fact that he has nearly
rounded his 80th year, he is still mas
ter in the art of political manipulation
Against admitted odds, the venerable
statesman was pitted with Ex-Governor
Hoard, the recognized leader of the
younger and aggressive element of the
republican party in the state, for the hon
or of heading the delegation at large at
st. Louis. Last night and this morning
his opponents were confident that they
had retired him from the political arena,
and when third of the congressional
districts on the roll had been called 1T
looked as though their claims were well
founded. The upper districts, however,
came nobly to his support, and after the
figures had been footed I'D he was de-
clared the winner by a majority of SO in
a total vote of 673. Tonight his support
ers are enthusiastic over the outcome,
and insist that the victory makes him the
logical candidate of the party to return
to the United States senate as the sue
cessor of William F. Villas. The remain
ing significant feature of the convention
was the voting of Mckinley instructions
despite the action of the committee on
resolutions In deciding to remain silent
upon this. point.

Chickens Coming Home to Roost.

Philadelphia Record.
The republicans have displayed the ut
most recklessness in the manufacture OF
rotten-b borough states in order to secure
more United States senators and more
electoral votes in anticipation of change
of political sentiment in the populous
parts of the country. Upon these new
creations the republicans have felt that
they could always rely, no matter how
high the political tide might run against
them in other directions. But the repub-
licans now find that not only has their
hope of a majority in the senate been
shattered by the silver states, but theil
chances of electing the next president
have been seriously diminished

HILL HAS WON THE FIGHT.
But he May Have Trouble at the Meet
ing Next Monday.

New York, Sept. Ex-senator David
B. Hill said to an Associated Press re-
porter to-day before returning to
Albany:
''The final outcome of the meeting
of the State committee last night was
a victory for those who are anxious
to preserve our State organization, no
matter what the divisions may be up
on National issues. 1t was victory
for those who do not believe that a
man is not good party man unless
he swallows everything or cannot
stand upon platform unless he be-
lieves in every statement in it unqual-
ifiedly. The stories this morning to
the effect that the resolution finally
adopted was for the purpose of send
ing a committee to see Mr.. Thacher
as to his views is unqualifedly false.
''The resolution adopted was the US
ual one and merely asks that COM
mittee be appointed to tell Mr.. Thach-
er that he is the nominee of the party.
No qualifications of any kind are in
cluded. Mr.. Grady offered a resolution
as a substitute for Mr.. Shea's and
which read: Resolved that a commit
tee of five be appointed to wait upon
Jno. Boyd Thacher and request his
acceptance of the nomination of Gov
ernor upon an unqualified endorsement
of the Buffalo PLATFORM
81 pointed out that such a resolution
was impossible and when the debate
had progressed far enough, a substi-
tute was adopted which read: 'Resolv-
ed, That committee Of five be ap-
pointed to notify the candidates on the
State ticket of their nomination and
| that such committee report back to
| the State committee, at a meeting to
be held Monday, Sept. 2Sth, the re-
suit of it's action
"Now," said Senator Hill, "that
means just what it says and it took
the place of all the other resolutions.
Acting under it the committee has no
power to project it's veiws at Mr..
Thacher, but merely to announce to
him his nomination. He viii do the
talking"
The clerk and secretary of the COM
mittee later verified the text of the
last resolution as given by Senator
Hill. There were only two votes a
gainst it and one (Senator Grady not
voting.
While the indications are that Sena-
tor Hill has thus far controlled the
action of the State committee it is pos
sible that there may be trouble at the
meeting next Monday unless by that
time Mr.. Thacher may have made his
position clear.
