GOVERNOR BRADLEY'S CHANCE
May Defeat Fierce" Bill by Writing =
Million Word Message.

LOUISVILLE, March "a special TO the
Times from Frankfort says: 1t is told here
that it will take three or four pages and
Private Secretary Roberts to carry the
Governors message vetoing the elections
bill. The idea is that the Governor does not
intend that Mr.. Bronston shall have all
the labor or credit of speaking out the
last four days of the legislative session.
The story based upon this idea may prove
far from true but is a pretty one, short
and worth telling. The executive will have
till Thursday week in which to send In his
veto of the measure. There will then re-
main but four days of the session in which
the bill would have TO be passed over the
veto; a Democratic caucus held. then u
joint session and the election of the three
commissioners proposed in the bill. OF
course one way TO defeat the measure II
1t develops twenty votes in the Senate Will
Governors veto will be sent in Thursday
afternoon, March 10. The message giving
the Governors reasons for the veto ana It's
reading will be the only thing in order Till
it's reading Is complete. This message, il is
said will contain 100000 perhaps mil
lion words, and its reading will require, say,
three days and nights, and Mr.. Bronston
would not have to speak more than a day
or so. The story further says that the mes
sage is already begun and that two stenog-
rapherS will work night and day till Thurs
day week compiling 1t: that it will contain,
besides the executives reasons for dlSap-
proving Of it, illustrations of his position

SAN FRANCISCO, March marine in
surance men az sound ports have decided to
advance the rates on all vessels bound for
Alaska. The underwriters will probably
follow with an advance ali along the coast
line. At Victoria it is reported rates on
first-class steamers will be advanced about
Is per cent. On certain vessels, such as
those which are not adapted for the passen-
ger trade, the advance will be from 30 to
so per cent. The insurance companies claim
that too many untrustworthy vessels are
being pressed into the Klondike trade, and
surfing steamers engaged in freight and
passenger business to southeastern ALASKA.
The following losses are cited as the reason
for raising the rates: Steamer Willapa
$4,000; steamer Modico, $50, 600; steamer Co
rono, 100000, and steamer Clara Nevada,
$40 900.

Of the Eleventh district, and the contest
viii increase in interest until the county
primary election next Tuesday decides the
matter, both Nicholson and Steele having
submitted their candidacy to the choice of
the people by popular vote. The primary
was Mr.. Nicholson's plan, and Mr.. Steele
accepted the method and came in. Under
the plan the successful candidate has the
privilege of choosing his own delegates,
though he is not required to do so unless
ne so elects. The provision is an unpopular
one with some, and Major Steele is making
the most of this III his fight lie claims
he would not avail himself of the privilege
to name delegates IL successful, but would
refer the matter back to the voters of the,
several precincts to select the delegates
themselves in their own way. AS condi-
tons are now shaped, the issue is whether
the successful candidate at the primary
shall name the delegates or the people be
permitted to select their own delegates by
precincts, as has always been done here
tofore, Nicholson standing for the one-man-
power plan and Steele for precnat<repre-
sentation. The Kokomo News is for Mich
olson and the Tribune is for Steele. Major
Steele came In from Washington to-day,
and both candidates will be on the ground
from Saturday until the issue is decided
next Tuesday. Both factions have opened
headquarters, and conferences are being
held daily. The Steele men claim there

SHERIFF MARTINS TRIAL.
Defendant on the Witness Stand
Again-His Chief Deputy's story.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March when
court opened this morning for the continual
tion of the trial of Sheriff Martin and his
deputies for the shooting of the strikers at
Lattimer, Sheriff Martins cross-examina-
tion was resumed by counsel for the prose-
cation. The main point established was
that the witness denied making the remark
after the shooting. that he had merely taxi
en- hand Gin the matter as plain James
Martin and not as the sheriff of Luzerne
county" The defense endeavored to have
the sheriff testify that he was unable to
suppress the riot and disorder that existed
in the Hazelton region and the civil authori-
ties were unable to cope with it and had
telegraphed to the Governor of Pennsyl-
vania for aid, and that consequently the
Governor ordered out the state militia on

dollars worth of real estate is affected by

served her estate for herself, and at her
death the property was to go to her chill

OIL MEN ARE VICTIMS.
Trick of Standard Monopoly to start
the Drill Again.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER, Ind, March Livery
day adds to the present excitement in the
Blac'xford county oil fields. The two big
advances in the price of crude yesterday
and Monday have set the producers to
guessing, but it is the general belief among
those who have made the market study
for the past ten years that the recent adj
vances will be temporary, and that pro-
ducers will be foolish If they commence
drilling at IL mad rate. Owing to the fact
that no new big fields have been opened
recently, and that owing to the price, oil
men have used the drill only sufficiently to
mold their leases, the Standard has been
forced to advance the price to such a point
where IL can make the producers feel that
IL IS worth a chance TO wildcat" The
consumption of refined according to the re-
ports, has exceeded the production for the
past six months. 1t is we'll known that the
Standard. which controls the market of In
diana, has gained a firm footing in Ger
many, and the export trade has been the
largest in years. Hence it is claimed that
as soon as a good supply can be had the
Standard will again send the price down.
Despite this outlook activity is now reign
ing in this field, and the lumbermen and
supply stores have already felt the good re-
suits of the advance. The Indianapolis Oil

sheriff giving all the deputies explicit or

maintain the peace. He also told them they
were not to shoot unless for their protec-

mony, from the time the deputies went on
