Around the crowded piazza of the
United States hotel tonight moved
Abraham Grover of New York, distri-
but1ng circulars headed: "Quotations
from Theodore Roosevelt's essays pub
lished in Oct. 1897" and containing ex-
tracts proclaiming against machine
rule.''
One of the extrac is reads: "Page III
An ideal machine has for its officers
men of narKed force, cunning and un-
scrupulous and for its common soldiers
men who may be either corrup6 or
moderately honest but who must be OF
low intelligence This is the reason why
such large proportion of the members
OF every political machine are recruited
from the lower grades OF the foreign
population
Mr. Rooseyelt's supporters merely
laugh at the matter.
There was q long conference of the
friends of Gov. Black tonight but they
gave out no statement except to say that
they were still actively in the race with
their candidate and still hoped to nomi-
nate him.
The Roosevelt supporters claim they
have captured many of the country dele
cations that have heretofore been de-
clared to be for Black.
The Republican state committee met
tonight and arranged details for the tenn
porary organization of the convention.
This was the first pro-convention meeting
Of the Republican state committee in
many years at which no notices OF con-
tested seats were fled. Hon. Serene e.
Payne of the 2Sth district, was selected
as temporary chairman of the convention.

COMMODORE WATSON IN BOSTON

Boston, September 26 Commodore
John c. Watson, U. S. NJ, arrived in
this city this afternoon from Guantanamo
via Port'Antonio, and left within an hour
for Newport, r. T., where he said he
should pick up his family and start for
his new post as commandant of Mare
island navy yard, San Francisco.
Commodore Watson spoke with much
appreciation of what Lieut.. Hobson has
done to s4ve the Infanta Maria Teresa,
but said they had quite q little difficulty
with the wreoking company. While such
work was necessarily a gamble, he thought
that there was chance that the Christie
bal Colon could also be raised if the gov
ernment gives hobson fair chance to do
it. 1t seemed to him as if Lieut.. Hobson
had earned right to this chance by his
success with the Teresa.

LOOKING FOR CANDIDATE.

Albany. N. Y, September 26.-The
nominating committee Of the Citizens
union, met here today in prorraoted ses-
sion. Nothing definite was decided upon
more than to empower Chairman Paul
Fuller Of New York to appoint commit
tee which shall have power to select a
name for the vacant place at the head
of the state ticket in place of that of Col.
Roosevelt, and to change the name and
emblem of the organization, should it oe
deemed advisable. The name spoken of
is the Citizens League State party which,
it is believed, will eradicate the local sig
nificance of the name at present in use.

The decision, if upheld, will give the
company about go per cent of the pro-
ceeds from the sale of the lands, with 10
per cent to the other general creditors.
The claim which the master allows is
founded upon the deficiency between the
amount received upon the bonds, from
the proceeds of the sale Of the road, and
the amount due. The railroad was bid

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name Of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken

HOW THE MAINE MIGHT HAVE
BLOWN UP.

A remarkably thorough paper appears N
the New York sun from an engineer He
says the Maine magazine for the io-lneh
guns is forward OF the boiler room. with
coal bunkers on either side, and short
bunkers partially separate the magazine
from the boiler room. He states there
were in this magazine stored SO half
charges Of prismatic brown powder. or ~
rounds for each OF the two forward 10
inch guns. These half-eharses OF so
pounds OF powder each ere iholOsed in
silk bags. which then are stored In cylln-
drical brass cases. that in turn are stacked
in wooden racks that lie against the
magazine walls. The hulkhead between
the magazine and the fireroOm. he says,
was "a steel plate, a seant quarter OF an
inch in thickness. This was all that sep
arated the fire room. or the coal bunkers
in the fireroOm. or the main coal bunkers
alongside the magazine. from the maga-
kline" He adds:
when the Maine was. completed so
that her fires were lighted under the boil
ers. was with Others in the magazine
and the bulkhead separating the fireroom
from the magazine became so hot that 1
couldn't hold my hand on IT,"
This was regarded as too hot. and as
there was not room for another steel wall
a sheet of asbestos was inserted.
The engineer believes the accident was
the explosion Of the forward magazine.
caused by fire or heat communicated to
the magazine from the boiler room or coal
bunkers. He thinks:
- THAT the fire heated the bulk
head red hot, and that the brass powder
cases. or one OF them, became red hot
from contact with ii. / know of nothing
that conducts heat more rapidly than
brass. II this brass case became red hot
it would explode the go pounds Of pow
der within 1t, which explosion would fire
the whole magazine. There would be two
explosions"
The coal was from the Pocahontas mine,
and the mine is strong in gas. as was
proven March IA. 1884. by an explosion in
the pit that killed ia men. A piece OF
cement was blown aboard vessel in the
vicinity. The floor where the seamen
slept was covered with cement. and d.
rectly above the magazine. This goes to
show the explosion OF the magazine.

The arrival after dark Sunday evening
Of the British ship ROmanOn. from sgd
ney. with cargo Of coal. flying a quar-
antine nag. again emphasized the need at
this harbor Of quarantine station. The
vessel was anchored in the lower harbor
untn an examination could be made by
the health oficer Had 1t proved that
she carried case Of smallpox or other
contagion. instead OF the mental disorder
with which the master was afiicted. the
ship might have been compelled to tow up
to Port Townsend. the nearest quarantine
station. with the result Of the
loss Sf her charter. No harm can certain
ly result from the committee Of the cham
Der of commerce pushing our claims for
a quarantine station upon congress at
every opportunity. OF as much import
ance as the quarantine station is the
question Of harbor launch. When the
Romanoff was anchored at Sand island.
the night was dirty with rough sea IN
the harbor. No rowboat would have been
safe to make the trip down from the city
to the ship. yet Health Officer Fulton
was Obliged to go down there at 10 o'clock
at night, regardless Of weather. AS re-
suit a steamer had to be employed. A first
class steam launch is what is needed for
this harbor SO that state and govern
ment oficiais can perform their duties
without so much risk to life. Every other
harbor Of the Importance of Astoria, and
many doing less than half the business
that is done here. has a harbor boat that
is comparatively safe and can do the
work more quickly than rowboat Here
is another chance for good work by the
A. p. G. A. or Chamber of Commerce.
