A Washington correspondent to the
ST. Louis Republic under date Of Avg
nst llth. writes as follows:
WAsHlNsToS. AugJl-A prominene
>Westerr pcliticisr now ia the city is
authority fos tee stAteQent that many
OF Mckinsey's close friends expect hip
- decline TO be y candidate for scnonl-
ination.
This gentsmen gas = member q the
last House, and recently had come t.ou,
a short vacation spent among former
colleagues in New E%glsnd. AT smah
dinner given in Newport = few days
ago. attended hg two Rens Hisan mem
bers OF the House who always have been
answering supporters OF President
Mckinley. the conversation turned upon
politics and the probable candidates for
1890. These gentleman stated positively
their understanding 20 be ;ns< Mr.. Me-
rinley had expressed has desire to retire
from politics Vt the end OF his term,
and their belief that be would not be
nrged by Mark Hanna and his closest
sdvisers to decide differently.
They stated that the presidents inten-
sion had been expressed not long ago
at cGlferenee with certain New York
Republicans, just previous to the ap-
pointmert of Elihn Root to be Secre-
iary Of War. While the qualifications
of Mr.. R0Ot wees hsiug considered,
she New Workers took occasion to dis
cuss at some length the general polit-
ical situation, and especially the lack
of support which the eastern states are
giving to The RdminisfratiGg' policy in
the Philippines. 1t developed that the
president was following closely the tone
pf the eastern press. and. with great
regret, recognized the fact that he did
not have behind him his party in the
States of Maine, New Hampshire, Ver-
mont, Rhode leland. Massachusetts,,
Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
To suggestion made by one of the
gentlemen at the conference that MIR.
MCKINLEY was the logical nominee for
1900, the president recalled the fact
that no president had succeeded him
self since 1872. although a plumber of
excellent men had made the effort to
do so. He stated also, it is said. that
his health had been impaired. and tina.
the White House had imposed many
burdens from which lie and Mrs. Me-
kinley would not be sorry to be re-
leased.
He referred also 20 the thousands of
friends estranged by failure to receive
desired appointments; and he added
with pOsisiyeness that il Republican
success in hitherto reliable states were
to be endangered By bis denomination
he would decline the honor, gratefully
but With armness.
TIE Republicans at the Newport din
ner predicted at the proper time Presi-
dent Mckinley would make public an
nouncement of this position, and that
che support of the administration would
go to Governor Roosevelt of New York.

.LARKIN AND HIS WHEELS
His Old-Time Acquain tanc es Tell
What They Know.
SANE ENOUGH AT TIMES
He Knew Enough to Buy Mining Ma
chinery and Pay for It, but He
Acted Very Queerly at Joe
Klaffki's Restaurant.

Tile inquest on the sanity of the late
before Special Examiner Blake, and
number of old time acquaintance of
the deceased were examined. Some of
these witnesses formed their opinions
regarding Larkin's sanity from the OBJ
servations of other persons and conse-
quently counsel for the defense moved
to strike out many portions of many
answers.
Ed McGovern, who used to room and
eat with Larkin, placed the period of
the beginning of Larkin's decline and
fall in 1892 or '93. McGovern told all
about the habits and peculiar traits of
the deceased, saying that he was drunk
most of the time, and when not drunk
he appeared to be off" Towards the
closing period of his unrestrained lib
erty Larkin appeared to be less cranky
and not nearly so violent in action as
in previous years He had quieted
would spend most Of his time walking
about town. He didn't do much bust
ness and appeared to be thinking about
some thing. Sometimes Larkin got so
drunk that witness assisted him to his
room.
r. NJ. Campbell, a foundryman, tes-
titled. His first business dealings with
Larkin were in the year 1887, when he
sold at different times machinery and
boilers and other material for the
hosting works on one of the Larkin

ness with him since 1883, and seldom
saw the man. He was led to believe,
however, that Larkin was of unsound
mind during 1887 and 1885,
Cross examined by j. f. Forbis, wit
ness admitted that he thought Larkin
sane enough to buy machinery and pay
for it.
Was Larkn intelligent when he
bought the machinery"
Well / didn't think so when he took
the things without Investigating them

away"
He utilized them, didn't he?"
Yes
He sunk the shaft with the machin-
cry he purchased from you and Jad
for?"
Yes, I guess he did"
He purchased everything HIMSELF"
He did,.
You thought he was sane enough
to select the machinery required in the
development of his mine, didn't you?'
Il did,

since that time?"

quented, next testified. Larkin evident
ly was good customer at Joes place.
He would often order a meal and while
it was being prepared by the cook he
would step UP to the bar, take a few
drinks, engage in conversation with
Joe, return to another table and order
another meal from another waiter, for
getting all about his first order. Such
actions made it appear as though there
was something wrong with him.
Once said Joe, Jim told me that
he was going to cut up one of his
claims into town lots, and offered me
lot, saying that he thought that
wanted to build. He wanted me to &C
cept a lot as a present from him.

and didn't accept the offer"

Christmas Tale of Woe,

Christina Hanson had a tale of woe
to tell to Mayor Harrington yesterday.
She said she had formerly lived with
one Edmund Gieske and had children
by him; that he was now living with
or was married to another woman and
had the children with him. She heard
yesterday that the other woman abused
her children and when she called yes
terday to register a protest the woman
who supplanted her in Gieske's affec-
tons gave her a hummer of trounc-
ing. She was told the county attorney
was the man she wanted to see.

GENERAL LEGGAT'S SHAFT.
A Complaint Is Filed Charsin. Him
With Violating the Law.

General John A. Leggat who has
aroused considerable feeling through
his efforts to sink a shaft for the pur-
pose of prospecting the vein on the
Thomas lode, has got more trouble on
his hands. Yesterday complaint was
filed in Justice Harrington's court,
charging him with violating that pro-
vision of the law, prohibiting the sink
ing of a shaft within 20 feet of a street.
without covering the shaft or fencing
it in. Some time ago General
Leggat aroused the ire of Montana
street people by sinking in the street
and was stopped. Now he is sinking
in the alley, which runs from the court
house west to Montana street and the
blasting has caused much annoyance
to the county officials. The complaint
yesterday was lodged by residents of
the vicinity. who were afraid their chill
dren would fall down the shaft.

RAILWAY CONDUCTORS.
Henry Redmond Will Represent Div
ision 249 at Detroit.

Henry Redmond Will Represent Div
ision 249 at Detroit.
Henry Redmond of Anaconda will be
the delegate from Division No. 294, Or
der of Railway Conductors. to the 9th
regular biennial session of the order to
be held in Detroit beginning May 9
next. 0. l.. Chapman of Butte was
chosen as the delegate and Mr. Red
mond as alternate, but as Mr.. Chap
man is unable to attend, Mr.. Redmond
will look after the interests of this
division at the convention at Detroit.
Matters of more than usual Importance
to the organization will come before
the convention which will probably be
in session a week or 10 days. Follow
ing the business session will come
number of pleasure trips to various
points of interest in the vicinity of
Detroit There are 1874 divisions in the
Order of Railway Conductors, and it
is seldom that all are not represented
at the meeting of the grand division.
The railroads all furnish transportation
and there is usually much rivalry to
secure the honor of election as dele
gate.
Among the matters of particular mo-
ment which will be discussed at the
coming convention will be the action
which has been taken by some railroad
companies and which some other roads
are considering, by which railroad en-
ployes are DISCHARGED from the service
after reaching a certain age. This the
employees generally. and the older en-
ployes particularly, regard as decidedly
unjust. They argue that after a man
has devoted the best years ef his life
to a certain following, it is manifestly
unjust to discharge him when he is too
old to learn another profession. 1t is
further argued that the old railroad
In NO IlN fhy xysl1l
able men. The experience which they
have gained is of invaluable service to
the company and of greater moment
than the difference in years in favor
of the younger men. They do not con-
tend that an employe should be re-
tanned when he is no longer able to do
the work required of him. but it is
argued that many men are mentally
and physically capable of performing
the duties REQUIRED of them for many
years longer than is the case with 9TH
ers. Some of the best conductors are
60 years old or even older.
If railroad employees are to be dis
charged on reaching certain age, an
endeavor will be made to have the rail
road companies required to pension
them. Until lately the loss of finger
or two has never been considered
serious obstacle to the satisfac-
tory performance of duties, Thou
sands of men so injured have for
many years therefore continued
satisfactorily to perform their duties.
Of late many of the railroad companies
have adopted a system under which
the loss Of a finger is a positive bar to
the employment of an applicant.
An effort is to be made to have the
supreme division vote to hold the next
biennial convention in Butte. Not
much confidence is EXPRESSED that
Butte will be thus favored but the in
ducement of a trip through the Ma
tional park may turn things Butte's
way,
