A Naval Hero's Story,
From the Times Herald, Chicaoo !

From the Times Herald, Chicago, III.
Late in 1861, when President Lincoln is
sued call for volunteers, L. J. Clark, of
Warren, Trumbull Co., Ohio, was among
tho first to respond. He joined the mortar
fleet Of Admiral Porter just before the me-
morable operations on the Mississippi River
began. 1t was at the terrific bombardment
of the Vicksburg forts. that the hero Of this
story fell with shattered arm from a
charge Of schrapnel.
After painful months in the hospital, he
recovered sufficiently to be sent to his home
at Warren, Ohio. Another call for troops
fired his patriotic zeal and Clark soon en-
listed in Company H, of the 7th Ohio VOL
unteers. In the army OF the Potomac, he
was in many engagements. Being wounded
in skirmish near Richmond, he was sent
to the hospital and thence home.

BLACKS STATEMENT.
The Governor Did Not Start the incl
igfhfIitY Story Until ThursdaY.


ALBANY, N. Y. Sept. 24.-The following
statement was given out at the executive
chamber tonight with the sanction of the
Governor:
'cThe story is circulated by the Fifth-ave-
nue. managers that the knowledge of Roose-
velt's ineligibility has been known to the
Governor and his trends several weeks.
This statement is incorrect. The question of
such ineligibility was first presented to the
Governor the night before last (Thursday)
The question was then discussed and the
determination was reached to submit it to
the best legal talent obtainable, and if it
was decided that Colonel Roosevelt was in
eligible that fact should be Immediately
conveyed to the Republican managers in
New York city. and also publicly announced.
The question was that night submitted to
and examined by several lawyers Of expe-
rience and ability, among whom was Judge
Countryman, of Albany. They were to an
nounce their opinion on the following morn
ing Friday. On that morning the opinion
was unanimously given that lar. Roosevelt
was ineligible for the office of Governor. The
leaders at the F'ifth-avenue Hotel were i'm
mediately notified both from New York and
Albany, ana a conference arranged with
them for o'clock that same evening on the
arrival of the $3.50 train from Albany That
conference was held as agreed upon and the
question referred to was then discussed.
The statement sent out from New York is
therefore untrue, that the question of
Roosevelt's ineligibility had ever been
known to the Governor prior to thursday
night. 1t was then presented to him for
the first time. Before noon of the next day
1t had been examined and a conference ar
ranged by the F1fth-avenue leaders, and
by half-past 6 Friday evening was under
discussion with them. The whole subject
was published in the papers the next morn
ing. So that within sixteen hours after
the matter first came to the Governors at
tentIon q conference had been arranged with
the FIJI .h-avenue les ders within twenty-fcur
hours the conference had been held, and
within thirty-six hours the whole question
was in possession Of the public through the
evening no question of Rooseveits eligibility
had ever been suggested to the Governor di
rectly or indirectly from any source what

GERMANS NOT FEARED
ALARMIST STORIES FROM SAN FRAN
CISCO NOT CREDITED.
No Truth in the Report that Filipinos
Are to he Armed for the Purpose
of Fighting Americans.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-The officials Of
the War Department pronounced to be
without foundation in fact the alarmist sto-
ries coming from sources in San Francisco
to the effect that Germany had shown any
disposition to arm the Philippine insurgents
with view to melting them to harass the
American army at Manila. The officials
stated to be positively untrue the statement
that our government had received any such
information, or that it was influenced by
such in ordering the dispatch last week of
5000 additional troops to reinforce General
Otis at Manila. 1t is undoubtedly fact
that some apprehension was caused at an
early stage of the war by the attitude of
the German naval force in Manila harbor.
But so far can be learned that difficulty
has been smoothed away and there has been
no recurrence of unpleasant incidents in
those quarters. Information, scarcely off,
cial, yet worthy of credence, has reached
Washington to indicate that Germany would
much desire a coaling station in the Philip
pines, preferably taking the island of Pala-
wan for that purpose, but it is not sup
posed that Germany would undertake to as
sert any claim in that quarter unless there
should be a clear exhibition on the part of
the two nations properly interested in the
Philippines-the United States and Spain
of disposition to consent to a division of
the islands. On this point the American
peace commissioners have been fully in
structed. AS for the statement that Ger
many was sending 10000 rifles to arm the
insurgents, it was said at the War Depart
ment that such an act would constitute a
casus belli, and it was not supposed for
moment that there was any truth in 1t.

ROOSEVELT TALKS FREELY.

velt is not eligible for the governorship by

colonel said to a World reporter, that this

they assured me that signing this paper
would in no way affect my citizenship in
New York. They tell me the same thing
stitution provides that no one shall lose his
citizenship in any State because he is in

TRAINLOAD OF SILVER.
Ten Million Ounces to BE Shipped
from Philadelphia to San Francisco.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The Tribune says:
"a train bearing 10000 900 ounces of silver
bullion from Philadelphia to San Francisco
is soon to mark new era in che federal
governments method of transporting the
precious metals between its mints 1t has
been known for some time that such ship
ment was in contemplation and the appear
ance of Assistant Secretary Vanderbilt. of
the Treasury Department, in Chicago was
for the purpose of making definite arrange
ments. Mr.. Vanderlip was in consultation
with Western railroad officials and the ship
ment is to be made on special fast freight
train guarded by federal soldiers and detec-
tives. 1t is supposed that hereafter freight
and not express will be the method of ship
ment. The Philadelphia mint is being run
TO it's full capacity coming gold-both for
eign and domestic--which has been pouring
in at a surprising rate and the intention
is 70 transfer 10,00o,000 ounces of silver to
the Pacific coast. This amount means over
500 tons or fifteen ordinary average car
loads. The express charges OH any such
quantity at anything like schedule rates
would be an item which even the United
States treasury could afford to figure on
saving.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2-Captain Brad
ford, chief of the Naval Equipment Bureau,
is clearing up the business of his Office pre-
paratory to sailing for Paris on October
to join the American peace commissioners as
an expert. He is settling UP the heavy coal
bills incurred during the war and has now
adjusted most of them Some realization Of
the forethought and discretion exhibited by
the Equipment Bureau may be had from
a statement of the fact that weeks before
the declaration of war it had a number of
sailing ships quietly creeping toward Asia
laden with coal and with nothing to indi-
cate that they were carrying it to Dewey
or to render them liable to seizure or de-
tention by the enemy, or some seyerer neu-
of war a number of steamers were hurried
along with more coal, and in consequence
Dewey found himself in possession of no
less than 10000 tons of the best American
coal to fight his battles with.

MONTANA REPUBLICANS.
Ticket Nominated by the Administra
ton Wing of the Party.


ton Wing of the Party.
HELENA, Mont, Sept. 24.-The admins
tration Republican convention was held to-
day and nominated Thomas c. Marshall, of
Missoula, for Congress; Judge Theodore
Brantley, of Anaconda, for chief justice:
George H. Grubb, of Kalispell, for associate
justice, and Benjamin Webster, of Helena,
for clerk of the Supreme Court
Senator Carter was made permanent
chairman of the convention and made a
long speech. He thanked the convention
and greeted the delegates as the chosen
representatives of reunited party. He de-
clared that from the day of its birth the
State of Montana had always been Repub-
lican and should continue so because of
every association. Our interests are rather
with Illinois and Iowa than with Florida
and Alabama. The Democratic party has
stolen the old clothes of the Populist party
in the effort to get back into power Pas
sion and prejudice and all other bad ele-
ments were appealed to by the Democratic
party of free trade. The people of Montana
have been misled by the false sayings of
the party of free trade. The speaker pointed
out the difference between Montana condi-
tions of 1896 and 1898. The senator scored
the present State administration and re-
viewed at length the Republican party S
PdoI
reference to the silver question, being con-
tent to say that all questions could ba set
tied better by the Republican than any
other party.
The platform does not include the words
silver and gold, the financial plank being as
follows: I'VE indorse without reservation
or exception the declaration of principles
adopted by the last national Republican
convention as promising wise policies of
public action and bringing to the country
a prosperity which we have not had hereto
fore"
The administration is Endorsed as follows:
1--WE renew our abiding faith in the pru-
dence the courage. the intelligence of Will
liam Mckinley, President of these United
States. He has borne himself in his great
Office as becomes the successor of George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We
congratulate him that it has been his felic-
ity to emancipate from the thralldom of ar
bitrary power so many millions of human
beings and confer on them the priceless
heritage of liberty. And in this good work
to be carried to its ultimate conclusion we
pledge him the unwavering support of every
patriotic Republican. In the discharge of
the duties of peace he has entitled himself
to the unqualified commentator of all his
countrymeH."
The other planks relate to the war with
SPAIN the Nicaragua canal, etc. By large
ma jority the convention voted down an
equal suffrage resolution.
