not seen the lower part of the county for

SHERMAN ON THE SHOOTING.
The Secrctory of state Non-COmmit-
tai on Its Eject.


tai on Its Eject.
Washington, Aug. S.-The government
has probably already received the formal
notification of Premier Canovas' assassi-
nation, but if so it is locked up with other
dispatches in the state department and
will not be known until Secretary sher-
man reaches the department tomorrow
morning.
Immediately the state department, ac-
cording to its usual custom, will announce
the event 20 the President and the latter
will, in some way make formal and pub
lie expression regarding the governments s
deep regret. Just in what form this ex-
preston will be couched is not known, for
precedents differ but il doubtless will be
a dispatch to the Spanish government sim
pie and sympathetic in its terms.
Secretary Sherman received the first
news of the affair through the Associated
Press bulletin. He expressed deep inter
est in the details. He said: This deplora ~
BILE event will have some effect. OF course,
on the present affairs of Spain, but to
what extent l cannot say. The death of
one man is not necessarily going to
change the sentiment of the whole cOun-
try. Spain is a very tenacious country.
Her money Is gone. Her resources have
been exhausted. But she means, evident
ly, to hold onto Cuba. Just how she can
do IL under these circumstances / cannot
see. Yet she is opposed to yielding a
point. Premier Canovas was a strong
partisan. He was the chief exponent Of
the element which was determined 20 keep
the island at all hazards and. seemingly.
Spain Is almost a unit Senior Canovas
was a strong factor in the government Of
Spain, but II is not impossible that an
other will be found to replace him IN that
important office having similar views and
the same pronounced ideas. How IL may
be In this case / am not able to say, but
the effects. politically. of such an event
are essentially far reaching and have not
always produced radical developments
GAS TO the consequence on the conflicts
IN cuba ! do not care TO talk. ! have no
official information Of the assassination
and must refrain from guesses as TO what
Il may effect IN the future"
Asked as 20 how long he now thought
the Cuban insurrection might last. he re-
piled that that was problematical. and he
did not care TO discuss it He added that
he mad heard various names OF prominent
leaders IN Spain mentioned, but he was
not well Informed as 90 them and there
was nothing on which he could base "a
prediction as TO Canovas' probable sue
cessOr.

At a meeting Of the Ohio Valley Trades

The reports In circulation that there
would be evictiOns az some Of the compa-
