VouClOuS arc uo1u Wo IL KNOW more
about the situation.
It is generally conceded that all
of the republican Office holders
desire a denomination, but there
will be a hard fight made against
some of them. W. G.. Wyatt, of
Bigelow, and J. II. Denton, of
Graham Lakes, are accredited
with casting sleeps eyes at Audi
tor Trips job, and it is intima-
ted that Register Lundgren's re-
nomination is not a dead-open-
and-shut. Clerk Stevens position
is not as secure as it might be.
The republican candidates for
sheriff are an unknown quantity.
No one has has had an overween-
ing ambition to run against Gill;
bert Anderson, whose nomination
by the democrats is assured.
On the democratic side of the
house we hear J. A. Kennedy, of
Adrian, mentioned for register.
He has held this office before, and
Mobiles county never had a more
efficient and obliging official. E.
W. Golf is said to be an aspirant
for treasurer, and j. J. Kendlen is
credited with an. aspiration for the
authorship. However, his past
record is not as savory as a new
blown rose. a. It resembles more a
nest of decayed hen fruit. There
is little danger that tho democratic
party will stultify itself by ,oak-
ing such a poor nomination.
The populist convention has
been called to meet at Rushmore
on September 3. 1t is probable
that they will make a few nomin-
atoms and leave the balance of the
ticket to be filed by the Demo-
Gratis. A few of the "mid-road-
ers'' want to nominate a full tick
ct. tut our opinion is that
these extremists are greatly in the
minority. The only candidate for
a place on the populist
ticket we know of is A. E. Taylor,
of Leota, one of the best men in
the county. His friends desire
him to make the race for clerk,
and if nominated at Rushmore
undoubtedly the democrats will
heartily endorse his candidacy.
/ Some of tho many friends of
Hon. Carl w. Schultz, of. Worth
ington, are urging the use of his
name as democratic candidate
for state senator. As far as we
can learn the suggestion is made
without authority and without the
knowledge whether or not he
would accept if nominated. Mr..
Schultz is we'll known and popu-
lar, not only among the demo
Gratis, but among republicans as
we'll, and we doubt If stronger
could be named. It is |
however, 50 unlikely q contingency
that he could be persuaded to ac-
cept nomination that . discus
sion Of the matter is perhaps use
less. The senatorship is not q
sillecure at least to an honest
man, and Mr.. Schultz is not 90
wealthy that he can afford to sac

VACATION DAYS.

day was the one in which I learned
this lesson.
Three years ago my brother and /
went camping in large grove.
We reached our camping grounds
in the middle Of the afternoon, and
spent the rest Of the day preparing our
tent for the night. Next morning we
ate an early breakfast and went out
hunting prairie chickens, with my
little rifle, while he had a shot gun.
About eleven o'clock we returned with
one prairie chicken which I toyously
boosted "we" shot.
Then wanted to shoot something
all myself, so my brother let me shoot
some blank shells, just to hear the
noise. I carelessly aimed toward the
road near by and as shot one after
another I suddenly realized to nv dis
may that had shot loaded she'll T
reeled backward like a drunken man
on skates, grabbed at my gun, and
felt Of my shoulder to make sure It
was there; and finally picked myself
up and went into the tent, remarkinu

the shivers run down my back when 7

I shot! Since then have been yerv
careful in handling gun, and I con-

WlNSLOW HAS A SCRAP.
First Engagement of war in cuban
Waters.

On Board the Associated Press Despatch
Boat Kate Spencer, off Cardenas May g.
-(via Key West, Fla, May 10. 1.-The
little torpedo boat Winslow, yesterday
morning, precipitated the first naval en-
gagement fought in Cuban waters
On reconnaissance in Cardenas harbor
she drew the fire of three Spanish coast
guard vessels and lively vest pocket sea
fight followed with the tiny gunboats.
As the Winslow was decidedly in th
minority she ran for the open sea, WHARF
her big station mate, the gunboat Ma
ohias called MP by firing, took hand in
the game with her four inch rifles and
tossed several shells over the low sand
spit behind which Spanish boats were
sheltered.
1t was impossible to see whether any of
those landed, but the Winslow was not
touched.
She claims, however, to have knocked
a few splinters out of the larger coast
guard boat.
The most important result OF the Wins
lows reconnaissance was the discovery
that Cardenas harbor is mined.
If there were any batteries on shore,
the Spaniards did not think it worth
while to disclose their position, but that
there are mines in the channel is import
ant, in view of the reports that it is
Cardenas, and not Matanzas, where the
land of United States forces will finally

RAILROAD MEN MEET.

Washington, May f0.-The tenth annual
convention of railroad commissioners met
today in the rooms of the interstate COM
merce commission. The roll of states was
called and thirty mine commissioners re-
sponded. The address of e. e. Clark
America and chairman Of the Federation
Of American Railway Employees, was the
feature of the morning session. He spoke
in favor of the safety appliance act as
guarding the limbs and lives of railroad
employees. Commissioner Knapp, chair.
man of the commission and Commission
ers Clements and Yoeman were present.
At the afternoon session reports of
special committees were received, re-
porting upon the classification of con-
struction expense.
President ingalls,, of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad, in an address devoted
largely to discussion of the interstate
commerce law said one of the difficult
ties with the law as it stood, was that
the punishment of imprisonment for
offenses regarding contracts and rebates
was entirely out of proportion to the
offense. The Imprisonment clanse
should be stricken out he thought and a
new law enacted imposing fine of say
$4,000 upon the offending corporation
and making each contractor bill lading
separate offense. The. shipper should
be left out altogether as his testimony
was needed.
Excessive rates should de reduced to
the basis fixed by the commission. Rail-
road companies, he said, should support
the commission. 1t was barrier be-
tween them and the unceasing attacks
of populism.
Joseph Flory of Missouri urged the
convention to endorse the railway
arbitration bill now pending before the
Senate. having already passed the House.

BRITISH TRAMP TURNED BAcK

On Board the Associated Press De-
spatch Boat Kate Spencer. off Cardenas,
May 9.-(via Key West, Fla, May 10. y
The British tramp steamer Strathdee,
Capt. Currie, attempted to run the block.
ade yesterday, but was overhauled by the
gunboat Maohias.
The captain Of the Strathdee claimed
that the vessel was loaded with sugar and
that he had on board number of Span
ish refugees from Sagua laiGrande.
4 He also said1 that the steamer was
bound for Matanzas, where it was desired
to disembark some of the refugees.
The commander of the Machias was
skeptical of this story, however, and
warned the captain that if he attempted
to take the vessel into Matanzas she
would be fired on, whereupon he put
about and steamed away in the direction
of New York.
