This is amply proved by the honors showered upon him-honors that few men have gained during their first term in that body Notably in that respect was his appointment to the Foreign Affairs Committee and his selection as chairman of the Democratic Congress sional Campaign Committee.
 Senator White had been installed in his seat but a short time when the other Senators began to realize that when he had anything to say it was worth listening to, and he soon gained recognition as one of the readiest de- baters and most eloquent statesmen on the floor of the Senate.
 Just what effect Senator Whites re- tirement from politics will have upon the Democratic party and the State election next fall I am unable to say, but I do know that it will be difficult, if not impossible, for either party to find his equal as a statesman
 There has been considerable talk re- gently that you would enter the Gu bernatorial race; is such your intention, MT. Foote?"
 If the people of California were to tender me a certificate of election and promise to increase the salary to s20,000 a year I would not accept the office of Governor. I do not want the office, and would not accept it under any circum- stances
 Mir. Foote made this declaration with a vehemence that gave unmistakable proof that he meant just what he said.
 How about the Senatorship-wou you accept that?' was the next ques- tion.
 Well, that is a different matter al- together" replied MT. Foote, reflect lively; "but l do not care to discuss that subject at present"
 From a number of MT. Foote's closest friends, who were questioned on the subject, it was ascertained that at the proper time he will make known his candidacy for the Senatorshp to suc- ceed White.
 Six years ago MT. Foote's consent was obtained to having his name placed before the Legislature for Sen ator in opposition to White, upon the representation of the agents of the proprietor of the Mission street vel low poster that Whites election was impossible and that unless Foote con- Sented to become a candidate ali sorts

 W. w. Foote was seen last evening. and, in reply to a question as to what effect Senator Whites decision would have on the fari election, said that. while the Senator's determination not to become a candidate for reelection was loss to the Democratic party, it was a far greater loss to the people of the State.
 Senator White is beyond question the best man for the position in the State" said MT. Foote Honest and fearless, he is man of brilliant at tainments, and during his Senatorial career he has earned the respect of his colleagues, without regard to party.

BETTMAN G WATSON ASSIGN.
This Firm Once Operated EIt.nsively In
Weit Virginia Fields.

"cH huRtuiA rtclus.
A New York dispatch says: Bettman &
Wntson, oil producers, failed Saturday
for about s350.cOo. The exact figures
are not known as YET. but 1t Is said that
the liabilities will reach that amount.
The firm made an assignment without
preference to Emanuel Bloomtngdale.
Bettman & Watson formed one OF the
largest firms in the oil business. The
firm was organized thirty-five years
ago. The members OF It at present are
Marcus A. Bettman, David Bettman and
Gilbert L. Watson. The Arm manufac-
tured and dealt in oils. 1. had It's manu-
factory at Parkersburg, and occupied
fields all over the oil region. Some Of
its fields are In West Vir-
glnla, Pennsylvania, Indiana and
Ohio. The firm bought out many
Wheeling people in the old field near
Belmont and Eureka, In Peasants coun-
~, and lost heavily on the deal In the
end
It was said after the assignment had
been announced, that the firm Is not In
any particular straits. and thar as soon
as its affairs have beep settled the cred
ttors would receive every dollar due
them.
The cause OF the failure was further
said 10 be the decline In the price OF oil
to some extent, but the greater cause Is
the fact tina, accommodations to which
the firm had been accustomed had been
withheld.
Mr.. Bloomingdalc, the assignee, said Of
the failure: II do not know the amount
OF the assets or liabilities OF the firm.
The firm saw trouble ahead and thought
II was fair TO all creditors 20 make an
assignment instead OF letting some cred
itors get In ahead OF others. have no
doubt that the firm will soon resume
business" L

man & Watson, the assignments were

Coroner John r. Fitzpatrick, OF
Washington county, Pa. was In the city
yesterday afternoon for the purpose OF
getting Information as TO the man kill
ed on the Pan Handle railroad, at Bur-
'gettstown. Pa, Saturday night. From
conversation the deceased, whose name
Is supposed to be L. Jcftry, had a few
hours previous, It was thought come
from Wheeling. but there Is no such
name as Jefrry In the city directory.
and no person was found who had
ever heard OF such man.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick wanted the remains
Identified before burial and yesterday
morning received j telegram from the
station agent at Burgettstown, which
brought him TO Wheeling. The dispatch
was from the station agent, and II
stated that Jeffry called at the station,
and represented himself to be n rail-
road man, and was on his way from
Pittsburgh to Wheeling. his home.
There was nothing found on the dead
mans person, but note he used TO
present to rallroaders for assistance In
attempts to secure employment, with
his name, "E. Jeffry." at the bottom.
Fifteen cents was also found In his
pockets. ~ eF
Jeffry was killed ut 1905 o'clock Sat-
urtlay night. He was walking along
the tracks, coming to this city, and In
getting out OF the way OF one train was
struck by the second section of freight
No. 6. He was killed Instantly. Both
legs were taken of and his skull was
cracked open. The remains were taken
to Bulger, the next station. where Cor
oner Fitzpatrick took camera picture
OF the dead man, which he will pre-
serve In the hopes that some one may
be found to identify him.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick was at police head
quarters last night. and showed pieces
OF Jeffry's clothing, which were good
proof that the deceased was no ordi-
nary tramp, and Mr.. Fitzpatrick said
that his features showed that jerry

The note found In his pockets was to

recognizing the difficulty Of securing
employment he asked railroad men to
help him. Lung trouble, he said. fore
ed him 70 resign his former position.
It Is not likely that Jeffry was q, native
OF Wheeling. and his statement that he
was coming 20 this city may have
created the impression that lie came
from here.
