A. p. A. IN NATIONAL POLITICS.
President TraynOr Presents II Plan OF
ORGANIZATION.


DETROIT, April S.-W. II. j. Traynor, SUI
preme president of the A. P. A., has issued
a circular to the order at large upon the
political situation. President Traynor de-
clares that the A. p. A. has the cinch upon
the presidential situation and presents an
exhaustive plan for the complete political
organization of the order from the primaries
up. He urges the various state councils to
send their representatives to the supreme
council, which meets next month at Wash
ington, pledged to such reforms as the subof-
dinate members of the order most desire,
thus avoiding the danger Of strong partisans
using the order for their own ends.
He makes a strong protest against the
Marquette statue, and especially warns the
order to oppose the resolution of Congress
man Morse of Massachusetts "acknowledg-
ing Almighty God as the source of all power
and authority in civil government, our Lord
Jesus Christ as the ruler of nations and His
revealed will as the supreme authority in
civil affairs" as n remarkable and dangerous
proposal to place the affairs of state in the
hands Of the church.
The writer concludes with the declaration
that the Venezuelan war scare was a mis-
leading campaign dodge, and that the Cuban
and Armenian agitations, while advocated by
those who are sincere, are mere subterfuges
to kill time until after the presidential cleo
ton and distract the attention of the peo-
Pile from proposed and much needed national
measures of reform.

Alive, Though LcgaIly Dead.

A curious Enoch Arden case, in which the
lord justices OF appeal had to intervene in
order to bring a man to life again legally,
has Just been decided in England. Forty
two years ago a woman married a sailor In
the British navy, who deserted, went to the
United States. and was not heard of again
for thirty-six years. Six years after his dis
appearance she married another man, with
whom she lived for eighteen years, but
from whom she at last obtained a judicial
separation and allmony in 1892. The second
husband pleaded that his marriage was null.
as her first husband was alive at the time,
but the jury in the divorce court found that
the man was dead. Last year husband No.
2 discovered husband No. 1, brought suit
again, and produced him in court, where he
was fully identified, but the judge held that
as a jury had declared he was dead, he
could not admit that he was alive and dis
missed the suit. The appellate judges seemed
to be of his opinion, for they refused to
allow the appeal and annul the marriage OH
the ground of the mans being alive till the
second husband had given security that he
would pay the woman an allowance.

A WGMAN'S A
Three Times MS Many Women ms Men
mt Tristan dn Cunh..

From the isolated group Of little islands in
the south Atlantic, whence the Gagged eagle,
Napoleon, was guarded, though 1000 miles
distant, on lonely st. Helena, comes by far
away, roundabout means the strange tale Of
life without communication with the rest of
the world for six months, and a bit of history
IN a community in which women outnumber
the men by such a majority that they may
compel obedience by force, If violence should
be necessary. The news from the group of
Tristan da Cunha. the three little islands
midway between the Cape of Good Hope and
the coast of South America, came through
the captain of the ship hartford. who saws
that in about latitude 81 degrees 5 minutes
south and longitude IL degrees 16 minutes
his vessel was signaled by a small boat.
The yards of the hartford were backed and a
boat came alongside. In 1t were several
men and a quantity of potatoes, eggs, milk
and penguin skins. The men offered tho
fresh produce, ana the skins in trade, saying
they wanted Clothing, tea, rice, sugar and
-four from the ships stores IN exchange for
the articles they brought from their island
home. They told the captain that they de-
pended on passing vessels for the provisions
they named and for clothing and that the
inhabitants the islands were in dire
becapse for six months not a boat
had succeede9 ID hailing a ship.
The population of the island of Tristan da
CuHha, as repotted to the captain Of the
hartford by The men in the boat. is sixty,
the women putnumbering the men in the
proportion Of three to one. Therefore there
are forty-fve' yamen and fifteen men. The
group %consisHHH d three tiny volcanic isles,
Tristan, the largest. being seven miles in
diameter lin the center being a mountain
7 600 feet high; inaccessible, about two
miles across, and Nightingale Island. a baby
lslet, Just big enough to hold two hills. The
Islands have been under the British flag
since 1916. though, as the men In the boat
told the master of the hartford, no European
in the memory of any of the Inhabitants.
When Napoleon was at st. Helena, 1900
miles distant, a British garrison was sta
toned on Tristan. but Withdrawn after the
death Of the exile. Corporal William Glass.
his wife and family and two private soldiers
were permitted TO remain on the island
when the garrison was withdrawn. The
population had increased to sixty people,
some Of the accessions being due to ship
wreck and some to desertion from whaling
yasspls.

cHAUNCEY NJ. DBPEw TALKS AGAIN,
Says There Are but Four Republican
Presidential Possibilities.


SAN FRANCISCO. April BIN discussing
the chances of the candidates for the repub-
iican nomination, Chauncey NJ. Depew, who
arrived in this city last night in company
with Cornelius Vanderbilt, said: There are
only four men whose chances at St. Louis are
worth speaking about. Mckinley stands
ca sily in the lead. with Reed, Allison and
Morton ranging in the order named. Morton
stands perhaps an even chance with Allison,
al he starts in with seyenty-two Of the state
delegation.
I've Of New York, mindful of the past.
think Morton stands a very good show.
Presidents, as a rule, are not made out of
early favorites. These are all good man and
the country can be safely trusted to any of
them. Mckinley will. go to the convention
with a clear lead. The only way he can be
defeated 10 by the field combining against
him. The field will combine ana thus be-
comes the strong force. The question then
arises as to the name of. the man upon whom
1t can be brought to unite. New York is a
pivotal state. Morton has created no strong
animosities. For these reasons we believe
he will be considered the most available man.
mo, l don't think Harrison will figure. |
DO not think he wants it. He has said SO so
positively that there can be no doubt.
II am for Morton, to be sure. 1t is very
likely that | shall nominate him at st. Louis
unless some other son of New York shall
think he can do 1t better"

llshed statement that he had in his possession
a letter from President Cleveland declining
to be again a candidate for the presidency
and urging the democratic party to stand

was absolutely untrue. Secretary Lamont
added: IL never have heard Of such a let
ter"
From another and unquestionably reliable
source 1t is learned that the published state
ment Is absolutely without foundation and
that no such letter has been written by the
president.
The fact that President Cleveland had
fully decided not to be a candidate for re-
nomination and that Secretary Carlisle would
go before the Chicago convention as an
aspirant for the democratic nomination on a
sound money platform was announced OK
clusively by the Associated press a few weeks
ago, but the matter has not yet gone beyond

Philadelphia Racing Men Will Oper-

BALTIMORE, Md. April "A special
from Elkton says the race track at that
place has again been leased by Phila-
delphians and that running races will be
resumed there on Saturday, April II, to
continue for twenty-six days. At the end
of that time it is said that the same people
will begin racing at Barksdale station. on
the Baltimore & Ohio railway, near Elkton,
on grounds which have recently been pur-
chased.
1t is also announced here that the Airing
ton track, near this city, has been leased to
a party of New York racing men, who will
use 1t for racing tracks for thirty days, be-
ginning April %. The program includes six
races by day and five by night, under electric
light. Purses aggregating $4,000 will be
hung up.
The law in Maryland permits racing, with
pool selling, to be held for a period Of thirty
days on each and every track in the state
and in order to have continuous racing it is
only necessary to have enough tracks, a
plan which it is said the old Gloucester
management means to carry out.
