THE BAD BOYS FATHER
May Again Be Nominated for Gov
ernor of Wisconsin.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 3O-The Demo-
cratic state convention meets in this city
at the Lyceum theater at noon tomorrow
to nominate a full state ticket.
All the interest so far has been con-
fined to the head of the ticket. Judge
Hiram w. Sawyer of Hartford and Tim
othy E. Ryan of Waukesha have been the
most prominent active aspirants for the
gOVernorship nomination.
The campaign for delegates has been
very quiet one and the majority Of the 663
members of the convention will go into
the hall uninstructed; Ryan is known
to have q large majority of the delegates
of Milwaukee county. but the supporters
of Sawyer claim their man will have a
big lead in the rest of the state and the
outlook at present seems to favor the
Hartford man.
It is believed many of the delegates will
cast their ballots for former Governor
George w Peck, but Mr.. Peck, chair
man of the state central committee, has
not been working for the nomination and
is not candidate. However, there is a
possibility that the convention might get
into a wrangle and throw the nomination
to the ex-governor.
Though the state central committee will
not choose a temporary chairman until to-
night, ex-Attorney General O'Connor of
Milwaukee will undoubtedly be selected as
the presiding officer.
The platform will declare for the free
coinage of silver.
Little or no attention has thus far been
paid to the balance of the ticket.

ON HIS WAY TO TOPEKA.
Another Sick Soldier Tells of the
Hardships of Santiago Campaign.

In a letter to his parents in this city
Earle Anderson. the Topeka boy, who en-
at the commencement of the war and was
in the, battle of Santiago. states that he
arrived at Camp AIOntauk last Thursday,
making the trip from Cuba on the trans
port Yale. He says that there were a
great many sick soldiers on the ship. and
that the only care received was at the
hands of ten Sisters of Charity who made
the voyage with the troops Anderson is
just recovering from an attack of fever.
IN writing of the condition of the sick
soldiers in Cuba before embarking for the
United States, Anderson states that there
vas vas clearly neglect on somebody's part.
He says that sick and wounded soldiers
were compelled to lie down on the ground
without shelter while the rain beat down
upon them IN torrents. MANY DAYS he
states, the physicians were entirely with
out supplies and had not even quinfne to
give their patients.
Anderson expects to return to Topeka on
a furlough of 90 days.

40 SICK KANSANS.
Condition of the Twentieth Shows
Improvement

San Francisco, Aug. 3O-Surgeon Ma
jor J. A Rafter of the Twentieth Kan
sas is pleased with the new quarters
of the volunteers. He calls attention to
the fact that there are only 49 sick in
the regiment now against 261 on July
16, when the men were at Camp Mer-
rift.
The experience of the Twentieth Kan
sas is typical of that in the First Iowa
and First Tennessee. In all these reg
iments there has been a marked decline
in the sick list since their removal to
the Preside.
General Miller says the death rate is
not high, only Is soldiers out of body
averaging 10000 having died frim nat
ural causes during August.
The Red Cross home for convalescents
will be opened in a few days in charge
of Miss Laura McKinstry, a young So
ciety woman of this city. The Oakland
Red Cross society has established a hos
pital at Piedmont, across the bay from
this city.

MAY BEAR FRUIT.
Senator Davis View of the Cars
Peace Proposition.

Chicago, Aug. Ex-senator Cushman
K. Davis of Minnesota, a member of
the Paris peace commission, stopped in
this city a few hours while en- route to
his home in St. Paul, where he expects
to remain and rest until September IL,
when the commission sails for Europe.
When asked for his opinion of the
probable success of the cars proposal
for a disarmament conference, he said:
while the obstacles in the way of
the abandonment of the standing arm
les seem almost unsurmOuntable still
would not be at all surprised if very
material good could be accomplished by
a conference of the kind he proposed
It might not result in the reduction of
the standing armies, but 1t would be
step toward the goal and it might have
side results which would be of the
greatest value.
THE car has done a great thing in
putting forth his suggestion. While
Russia would undoubtedly benefit by
the change, I believe the cars mo-
tives are not in any sense selfish, and
that he is perfectly sincere in his desire
to bring about benefits to all the Eur
Opean nations. The Russian imperial
family has always had a vein of hui
manitarianism, and even of sentimen-
tahsm in matters of reform and its
achievements have been very great in
some lines.
TT is of course very hard to say
what the proposed conference would
accomplish. England would gain i'm
mensely by disarming and would IN
dOubtedly work hard for it. The small
er and weaker nations are being forced
to bankruptcy and ruin by the armies
they feel forced to maintain. They nav
have to reduce their forces merely to
keep in existence, whether there is any
general agreement or not. Russia is so
protected by its barrier of ice and snow
behind it, and by the character OF it's
people, that 1t could afford to disarm.
Certainly it would want to avoid fight
ing until its great military road across
Siberia. is completed.
1.-The eastern question is very serious,
and may at any time lead to trouble.
So many of the elements of it require
delicate treatment that I do not see
how the nations interested can afford
to disarm until they have a good basis
for action in this field. Guarantees of
good faith would be needed in some
form if disarment is to be accomplish
ed. and how they are to be given it is
difficult to see. I do not think that an
international court of arbitration would
necessarily be involved in the disarma-
ment plan, but the conference
may open a way to such a bit Of pro-
gress."

LOSSES BA FIRE.
Report for November Embraces AT.
fair at the CaDitoI.

In his report for the month Of Novem-
ber submitted to the District Commits
sioners. Chief Paris of the fire department
states that during the month there were
thirty -one alarms. a decrease of five as
compared with the previous month and an
increase of seven as compared with the cor
responding month of the previous year
Five of the alarms We're false. There were
six local or silent alarms, for which no bells
were sounded, which We're answered by the
depa rtment. The estimated loss for the
month was SAL ,S25. covered by an insurance
of S9,025, against a loss of S132I5, and an
insurance of 50 $50 for the previous month,
and loss of $l5 .295, insurance S13,950 for
the corresponding month of the preceding
year.
The loss at the Capitol fire amounted to
S31 200, with no Insurance. there being no
truth in the statement, the chief states
that the Capitol building was damaged to
the extent Of several hundred thousand
dollars.

\ Protest Against the Amount of
Claims for Damages.
Editor If The Evening Star:

To I'll" Editor If The Evening Star:
In the ahsence Of any other public pro-
test l ask space t" record my individual
opinion that the Northern Liberty market
house claims double discount those referred
To in Auditor Petty's report as Illustrations
of the total depravity Of human nature
Auditor Payne finds that these claims to
the aggregate amount of $l2s. .57s.J0, are
just, and it looks now as if the taxpayers
would have to pay this sum.
There must he in the District several
thousand people who were perfe-tly fa-
miliar with the Northern Liberty market
house. and the business done there. These
thousan nds know that the tumbie-down old
shed never in its best estate had within
and around it $1,000 worth of truck. If it
had been totally destroyed, with all its con-
tents in the midst of market day $4,000
would have recouped all losses. AS the de-
struction was not done during market
hours no property could have been destroy
ed except the insignificant portion left
there from one market to another
Upon the question of losses on account of
fixtures we all remember what elegant"
fixtures were in use in 1871 in our market
houses, A few rusty iron hooks, 4 bench
and choppng block. or a few rough
shelves constituted the outfit of the aver
age stall holder. Why. in 1871 there was
not a town in the United States that had
market houses than existed right here
And tie truck sold therein was as rough
as the sheds. Nor We're the appliances of
the stall holders at all incongruous No
marble counters. with panels of plate glass
in those days,
II is simply impossible that these claims
should justly aggregate So 000 and I think
our old residents, who. from constant ia
miliar.ty with the Suri OundingS of the
pace. are able to testify as to the cheap
Iohn character of the fixtures. and as to
the small stocks carried by the staH-hoid-
ers. should come forward. and help to pro-
tect the revenues of the District from this
determined raid
AS | view il. these claimants are entitled
to but Scant consideration. There may be
honest claims among them, but ii so they
have been entirely overslaughed by the dis
honest. The fact that the aggregate amount
of S.a2 2l5 was originally claimed is all that
we need to know. Ponder upon that fact, =,
