.DOINGS At WASHINGTON
President More Concerned
by Politics Than War
Miles Expected
Return.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 1S9S-Repre-
sentative Quigg. of New York, spent
some time with the President today, in
cidentally touching on political conditions
in New York State. Mr.. Quigg said after
ward that there was no further doubt
as to the nomination of Colonel Roose-
welt as the Republican candidate for
Governor. OF the GIL votes in the con-
ventfon, Colonel Roosevelt would have
over $50, Mr. Quigg said
Under the circumstances Mr.. Quigg did
not believe the forces of Governor Black
would make serious issue in the con-
vention. but if the issue was drawn. he
said the Black strength would be about
one hundred votes, made up mainly of
State officials. Mr.. Quigg expressed hope
that there would be a review Of troops
in New York. He said he did not think
Congress would embark on a Congress
sional investigation of the conduct of the
war.
Three members of the Cabinet were
with the President shortly before noon
Secretaries Gage and Alger and POST
master-General Emory Smith. Mr.. Cages S
call related to Treasury appointments.
Secretary Alger came to close up many
small matters before starting on his
western trip. He said he would make
a report to the President today concern-
ing the practicability of a parade of the
returning troops at New York City. The
Secretary leaves washington at eleven
o'clock tonight and will be at Camp
Meade tomorrow.
In an authoritative quarter 1t was stat
ed during the day that the President
had not yet selected the fifth member of
the Peace Commission.
Owing to reports that the Miles inter-
views had been under consideration by
the several Cabinet officers with the
President it was stated by one of those
present that the subject had not come up.
Acting Secretary Moore. who was
among the callers, denied the report pub
lished last Tuesday that the German
Government had protested against the
reduced custom rates given France under
the recently negotiated reciprocity treaty
with that country.
War Department officials would not dis
cuss the reports Of strained relations be-
tween the United States forces at Manila
and the insurgent forces at Aguinaldo.
The impression seems to be, however, that
Auginaldo is rather restless and has giy-
en- the United States authorities some nm
easiness. No orders have yet been Isl
sued looking to sending further reinforcs-
| ments to Manila. though several days

THE THAYER CASE is DISPOSED
Of.
The Jury In the Case Against Thay-
err for Attempting To Hold IN n
Train Near Fergus Falls Brings
I'm n Verdict of Guilty After Five
and n Half Hours of D~eIiberation
sentence VIII BE Pronounced
To-day-The Attempt so Prove nm
AIibi Resulted I'm Failure.

Fergus, Falls, Mimi, Dec. A. - The
jury in the Thayer case brought in a
verdict of guilty at 1890 last night
after five and one-half hours delibera-
ton. The prisoner received the verdict
with no sign Of emotion. Sentence was
deferred until to-day. The attendance
at the trialKwas the largest yesterday
OF any day Since the. trial, and no case
in Otter Tail county has eve drawn
the crowd which this one has. The
state began the work of demolishing
the alibi and produced some very
strong testimony. Thayer testified that
he had not any drills about him and
also that the guns which he carried
into the saloon known as Soaps, he
carried there just before he left for
Moorhead and that he had not been
there before. The guns in question are
the ones believed TO have been used in
the hold-up.
The state impeached this testimony
with William Swadding, who testified
that he had been bartender at Soap
Wolfson's place in Breckenridge,
known as the Red, White and Blue,
since August, but had now severed his
connection. He saw Thayer there off
and ON. He loafed there a good deal.
He saw Hoffman, Hall, Minot and
Ross there occasionally: did not know
their names until recently. Some time
iii October Thayer handed him a
bundle and asked him to put ii in the
drawer. He did so. 1t was wrapped
in canvas. 1t was heavy, and later he
opened it and saw it was drills and
an iron such as that" pointing TO II
of the kit. He could not say that
these were the drills, but they were
similar to them. ''Thayer called for
them before he went to the camp at
Battle Lake. | saw Thayer, Hoffman,
Hall and Minot on Nov. 10 at 7:2J. /
came from Staples on the Northern Pa
citic train and saw Thayer ard the
others at the station the morning be-
fore the hold-up. They had some guns
and other things"

Isle township, a quarter Of n mile east
of the mile post where the robbery oc-
CURED, positively identified Minot as
being near his barn after dinner Nov.
10, the day of the hold-up. The ross
examination failed to shake his testi-
mony.
Joe Smith of Fergus town testified
that Nov. 20, about ; p. IN, while driv-
ing home with his sister, Mrs. Jennie
Jensen, he met Thayer ard Minot three
miles north of the city, walking along
the road.
