is at present taking no medicine. She

Naturally, these letters, together
with hundrens of Others of like illit-
eracy, were suppressed by me and
others written in their place.
My dear governor. think of a person
dying of s'chronic exhaustion" and
of being ".taken a few days before her
death by a general weakness and
seemed to succumb." after having
been s.kept on medicine for some
time" or a person having ''periodi-
cal fever every afternoon or, sadder
still, having "a deep seated melan-
cholia more systematized than it has
been at any time since it has been
there and then you can form an ade-
quate idea of the unfortunate posi-
tion in which have been placed and
the difficulties with which 1 have had
to contend and from which you have
not been willing to relieve me- And
while you are thinking about it, think
also of the many people over this

Columbus, o., Feb. 1.-THE Ohio Re
publican league convention, which was
held in this city today, was one of the
stormiest in the history of the league.
About 200 delegates, representing 70
clubs, were in attendance.
The fractional fighting which marked
the late senatorial contest cropped out.
There were strenuous efforts to restore
harmony, both the retiring president
and the president-elect advising the
members of the league to lay aside
factional differences. Senator Foraker.
in his telegram to the league, also
made plea for harmony. The Foraker
and Bushnell element were dominant
in the convention, and While they tried
to keep factional differences in the
background, carried all their points.
Trouble was started early in the pro-
ceedings.
OMITTED FORAKER.
President John Sullivan, in his
opening address to the convention, re-
ferred to the great service which had
been rendered the party in the last
campaign by Governor Bushnell, Sena-
tor Hanna and Lieutenant Governor
Jones. Hon. Clay D. Rinkle of Lancas-
ter criticized Mr.. Sullivan's omission
of Senator Foraker's name quite
sharply. saying that one would not in
fer from Mr.. Sullivan's speech that
Ohio had a senior senator.
While there was a contest on some of
the officers. the fight of the convention
was on the resolutions.
Charles Griffin of Toledo drafted the
report and presented the resolutions to
the convention. The last three sections
of the report precipitated a fight.
Despite the opposition. however, the
original resolutions were adopted with
the following addition:
I'VE send greetings to President Nc
Kinley and Senators Hanna and For
aker, and assure them of our heartiest
support"
OBJECTIONABLE RESOLUTIONS.
The sections objected to by the Nc
Kinley and Hanna adherents are as
follows:
I'VE endorse the Cuban resolutions
introduced and discussed Feb. 9 by Sen
atOr Mason in the United States SEN
ate, and hope that it will be promptly
approved by the committee on foreign
affairs, passed by the senate and eIler-
getically carried into effect by our
honored president, and to the end that
Cuban independence may quickly be-
come an accomplished fact. without
being loaded down by Ubiquitous bond
age.
we cordially endorse every depart
ment of our state administration, par
ticularly that of our beloved. level
headed and efficient governor, General
Asa S. Bushnell.
I'VE endorse and approve the ener-
getic and efficient efforts undertaken
by Attorney General Monett and the
state senate to uncover and destroy I'M
lawful and hurtful trust syndicates and
combinations.
I'VE hope such effort will continue
until all such hurtful trusts and COM
binations are uncovered and destroyed
and the general assembly will supple
ment such efforts by appropriate legis-
lation."

ed president.

IRISH IN PARLIAMENT.
Warned Liberals That Home Rule
Must Head Programme.

London, Feb. lin the house Of
commons today John Dillon, chairman
of the Irish parliamentary party,
warned the Liberals that they would
lose the Irish vote unless home rule
headed their programme.
Mr. Balfour, first lord OF the treas
ury, and government leader in the
house, said the local government bill
was not intended as a step toward
home rule, or as a compromise, but
rested solely on its merits, to confer
upon Ireland the same local liberties as
enjoyed by England and Scotland.
Mr. Balfour added L firmly be-
lieve that sooner or later the people of
the two islands will be as closely united
as those of any nation in the world
These remarks called forth irish cries
of Never" to which MI. Dalfour re-
iterated: THE irish members neither
desire nor hope that. l both hope and
desire it. From study of history, l am
convinced that the scheme for a sub
ordinate parliament is not workable"

CAPT. RAYS REPORT.
Comprehensive Review of Conditions.
In the Gold Country.

In the Gold Country.
Washington. Feb. 1.-THE war de-
partment made public today advices
received from Captain F. H. Ray OF
the Eighth infantry. who was sent to
Alaska to report on conditions in the
mining country. The reports embrace
2. period running from Oct. to Nov. 3,
and are dated from Circle City and
Fort Yukon. They show a very serious
state of affairs, that trouble is threat
ened at various places and that there
is serious danger at some points of
lack of food, owing in large measure
TO the failure of the transportation
companies to get sufficient supplies. In
q report dated Circle City. Oct. 3, Cap
tain Ray recommends that should the
government desire to establish a post
on the upper river, that the mouth or
Mission or American creek be chosen
as the site, with a sub-post, If neces-
sary, at Circle City. The best interests
of the service, ne says, require perma-
nent garrisons to be located well away
from mining towns, so that the troops,
if required to act viii not be biased
by local influences.
FOOD QUESTION.
On the question of food he says:
"rThe food question here is a very seri-
Gus one, and the action of the N a. T.
& T. company is causing much friction.
I used my best endeaVOrS to reconcile
all differences peaceably and get all
people who are without provisions down
to Fort Yukon as soon as possible,
where there IS an abundance OF 1000.
I learn that while food is scarce in
Dawson City. he miners in the out
living camps are fairly we'll supplied.
The stores ftWo) are selling very con-
servatively The eating houses are all
closed save one.
While 1 consider the situation criti-
cal. do not believe there will be any
great loss of life, beyond that incident
to a climate so rigorous as this. TSat
there will be much suffering along the
river and the trail. owing TO the rash
ness and ignorance of people unaccuS-
toned TO this climate, no well informed
person here will deny, but there is
nothing that should cause undue anxi-
etv or alarm among people in the
states who have friends in this coun-
try. There are fabulous stories being
circulated and viii be published about
the prices paid for food. ! have veri-
fed Instances where 500 was paid for
so pounds of flour, but such cases are
rare and were outside deals, and not
the prevailing price"

Witnessed and noted their action. 1t
shows that Captain Ray was able to
persuade the men at Circle City to take
no more provisions than they needed

and that they agreed that the agent

THE LATTEMER TRIAL.
Only Two Witnesses For Prosecution
Examined Yesterday.


Wilkesbarre. Pa. Feb. n--Whsn court
opened this morning for the trial of Sheriff
Martin and his deputies. who are charged
with the killing of strikers at Latttmer,
the defense introduced a new feature in
the cross-examination by endeavoring to
show that the evidence of the witness was
influenced by the hope of securing dam
ages from the government in the event
of a conviction.
Adam LaDinski was the witness. He
was asked what country he came from,
and replied "Russo-Poland-"
DO you not expect. in the event of q
conviction in this case. that your country
will file claim for damages against the
United States2"
Il don't know" replied the witness.
Did you not read in the newspapers
that such would be the case2
I can't read said Lapinski.
Thomas Paris. the next witness. told
the story of the march to Lattimer. At
the first shot Paris said he ran, but was
struck by a bullet when he was about so
yards from the deputies.
Mike Zrochak told how some of the
deputies had followed the fleeing strikers
at Lattimer and shot at them as they ran.
