POLITICS QUIET
Probable Candidates For Congress
From the Thirteenth District.

1t is very quiet in political circles
these days.
If the lie sders are doing anything q,
all they have been very successful In
concealing that fact. Their avowed
programme is to pursue policy OF
mastery inactivity until within short
time before election.
Local dem ocrs,ic politicians are rest
ing upon their oars.
Two candidates are being spoken of
to represent this the thirteenth dis
trict in congress, and so far the horrors
sum to be about even. Juan S. Hart
has not publicly declared his intentions
but it is known by his friends that he
would like to receive the nomina-
ton.
Senator W. w. Turney will likely
declare himself candidate for the Of
fee, and has particularly strong fol-
lowing In the counties east of here. He
has ably represented this legislative
district in the legislature at Austin,
and his friends believe would undoubt-
eddy fill every obligation in con-
gress.

NICARAGUA AND THE
BlUEFIELDS INDIANS
Red Men Refuse to Sign Away Their
Rights to the Zelaya Gov
ernnent

NEW YORK, May PA New Orleans
special to the Herald says: The steam
ship Condor. which sailed from Bluefields
on May H. left the Nicaraguan gunboat
San Jacinto in Bluefields harbor, that
vessel having just returned from a trip
TO the Mosquito reservation The San
Jacinto went there under orders from
General Torres, who is trying to cajole
the Indians of the reservation into sign
ing a new treaty which virtually would
deprive them of all their present rights
This is a part of President Zelaya's plan
to do away with all semblance of auton-
omy in the Coast Department and thus
enable him TO get all the revenues from
customs.
Heretofore the coast has had a separate
tariff schedule, and was supposed to
spend the moneys collected for schools,
improvements and so forth. 1t was the
mission of the San Jacinto to take back to
Bluehelds the Indians who would support
an annexation movement doing away with
the Coast Department.
The gunboat returned with thirty-five
Indians, but in her wake were small boats
bearing the wittas, or head men of the
nation whose presence had a deterrent
effect. none of the Indians agreeing to
Torres scheme. There is now an edict
prohibiting the sale of powder and shot
to Indians. One of the wittaS said, how
ever, that they stand ready to fight for
their rights
1t may be that the conditions existing
when the Condor sailed ripened into an
open conflict, in which the San Jacinto
would naturally have played an import
ant part. Should this surmise prove cor
rect the origin of the rumor prevailing in
this country about the conflict between
the Detroit and the San Jacinto would be

twenty three, which would constitute a

If a quorum is secured, it is altogeth-

Gahan of Illinois, that the meeting will
be resolved into a formal session of the

action taken. Otherwise ere will be

FRUITLESS ATTEMPTS
TO SAVE THE PARIS
Stranded Steamer Remains on the

Be Made to Free Her

COVERACK, Cornwall, May "a, p. M
The attempt just made to float the Ameri-
can line steamer Paris has proved unsuc-
cessful.
The scene in. the vicinity of the Paris
was interesting and animated for an hour
before high water. The American steamer
and her tugs put on a full head of steam
and exerted their utmost power to refloat
her These efforts continued fruitless for
two hours, and it was finally decided to
defer the attempt to float her until a
later tide probably on Friday.
The American line officials are still most
hopeful, but the. experts are divided in

ton in Illinois as against that headed
by Ex-Governor Altgeld.
The Harrison men deeply resent the
action of the Democratic National
Committee in the Endorsement it gave
Altgeld in the Mayoralty campaign in
Chicago this spring, and was very stiff
in urging that Altgeld be removed from
the advisory committee of the National
Committee. as he did not represent the
regular Democratic organization. which
the Harrison men assert themselves to
be. They did not succeed in obtaining
what they desired. and Mr.. Altgeld will
probably remain member of the ad-
visCry committee, but they were made
complacent by assurances that the
power and influence of Altgeld as
member of the advisory committee will
be greatly curtailed.
Similar assurances were also re-
ceived concerning Editor P. ]. Devlin
of the Democratic National Press Bu
reau, who circulated the Endorsement
of Altgeld, to which the Harrison men
object. The Harrison faction, after re-
ceiving assurances that the Altgeld
power will be restrained, lessened their
fight against him, but there is TO be no
let-up regarding Devlin, and the illf-
nois men are out after his scalp. They
prefer it blood raw. Devlin is not
alarmed, and declares that as he is the
personal appointee of Chairman Jones,
nobody but that gentleman can remove
him. He says he will hang on despite
the efforts of the Illinois men.
If the conference should be resolved

tomorrow, it is probable that the res
ignation of Messrs Teller and Allen
from the ways and means committee
will be accepted. Both are willing to
get out and the other members of the
national committee are willing they
should.
1t is also reported that Chairman
Jones of the national committee will
resign, but this is not confirmed. 1t is
known that Senator Jones is sick man
and his illness is of nature that may
prevent his taking an active part in the
