CHOOSING A SUCCESSOR
To Run on the Ticket If President Nc
Kinley is RenOmirated-M Will
be a New York Man Probably
Names That Are Mentioned.

New York, Nov. "A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Vice
President Hobart's announcement,
through members of his family, of his
retirement from public life, will make
it necessary for the republican national
convention to choose another running
mate for President Mckinley should the
president be renominated next year. 1t
will also necessitate the choice of
president pro tenn. for the senate to
preside over its deliberations until new
vice president takes Office. Republican
politicians are practically agreed that
Mr.. Hobart's successor on the republican
ticket next year must come from New
York state. Senator Platt was in this
city today. and it is understood that
candidates were discussed.
II Governor Roosevelt had not so
clearly indicated his disinclination to
accept the second place on the ticket
he would be an important factor in the
speculations as to the candidates. His
nomination is regarded however, as be-
ing practically out of the question, and
two men most discusser are Secretary
Root and Gen. Frederick Grant. Which
one of them receives the republican NOM
ination may depend upon the fortunes
of war in the Philippines. There are men
who have served with General Grant,
since his appointment to the army, who
believe that he has inherited to great
degree the military genius of his father,
and that all that he needs is an opoor-
tunity. He has not thus far had
chance to show whether these opinions
L,
mand the troops in some brilliant action
against the Filipinos, or, perhaps, direct
the final movement in overwhelming the
instruction, there is Little doubt that he
would be the man selected.
Should this opportunity not come to
General Grant and should the Philip
pine war end successfully within the
next few months, the nomination would
probably be given to Secretary Root,
who infused new life into the war de-
pan tment and whose zeal in enlisting
ard sending forward reinforcements has
made it possible for General Otis to un-
dertake an aggressive campaign There
are many indica tions already that he
may be the administrations candidate.
Mr. Hobart will be greatly missed in
the senate Proba hlv never in the his
tory of the country, and certainly not in
recent years, has a presiding officer of
the senate been so generally admired and
respected by senators, regardless of
party. lines. Mr.. Hobart has made an
excellent presiding officer, mastering the
details of the senate business. rules and
traditions, and none of his rulings have
been questioned.
l-pon the occasion OF the vice presi-
dents first absence after the beginning
of each congress, the senate elects a vice
pres. dent pro tenn, who occupies the chair
whenever the vice president is away
Senator Frye of Maine was the president
pre- tenn in the last congress, and he will
without doubt be reelected for the new
congress and will be the real presiding
officer of the senate until March 4, 1901.

and will endeavof to preserve order.
Forty miners from the Herrin mines
left that place for this city this even
ing. armed with Krag-Jorgensen rifles
determined to assist the white miners,
should their services be required.
Trouble has been brewing ever since
the militia was recalled by Governor
Tanner last Monday, since which time
the white miners have refused to allow
the negro miners to come into town.
Today ID negroes marched into the
town and opened fire on a crowd OF
whites. The whites returned the fire
promptly, and running fight ensued.
The negroes, closely followed by the
whites, scattered, some running up the
main street. the remainder starting
down the railroad track. Here tine
worst execution was done. After the
fight was over, four dead bodies were
picked up, and another man was found
mortally wounded. They were taken
to the city hall, where the wounded
man was given medical treatment, and
an inquest was held over the dead ones.
Later, near the Brush mines, in anoth-
er part of the city, two other dead bod
les were found.
The killed are: Rev. o. I. ]. Floyd,
Huse Bradley. John Black, Henry
Brannunl. Two unidentified.
Mortally wounded; Sim Cummings.
The mayor has taken every piecau-
tion to prevent further trouble, and
none will occur unless the negroes
make an attack.

reports that the negroes are worked up
into flenzY, and. while he is doing
all in his power to hold them in
check, he is afraid lie cannot do so
much longer, and that unless the mill
tia appears shortly further trouble may
be looked for.
Trouble has existed here, off and on,
for over year, but no fatalities oc-
Cured until June 80. when a passen-
ger train on the Illinois Central rail-
road was fired into and one negro wo-
man killed. These negroes were on
their way to the mines, having come
flom Pana. A short time afteiward a
pitched battle ensued between the
union and nonunion forces during
which time the dwellings occupied by
the union negroes we're burned. Sew
eral arrests were made, and the parties
are in Jail at Marion on the charge OF
murder, awaiting trial.

there was a third soldier now about to

case. and that when the court-martial
was concluded the papers would be
forwarded to the department. The two
men sentenced are Corporal Damphoffer
and Private Conine. The. name of the
third soldier involved has not yet been

CUBAN CROPS FAIL.
Pttiful State OF DesolAtlon Wrought by
War and Weather.

war anu Nehthers
New York, Sept William
Willis Howard. general manager Of the
Cuban industrial relief fund, and who
has recently returned from Cuba, says:
"Ouba is in pitful state. Instead
OF a rainy season, Cuba has had a
drought. Not since 1914 has there
been such long-cOntinued dry weather
during the summer. The result has
been disastrous. The United States
weather bureau reports that all small
crops have been ruined. Sugar cane
has been so damaged that the crop next
year will be less than the crop ground
this year.
THE most distressing feature OF the
drought is the destruction Of the corn
crop. Even under favorable circum-
stances, the corn crop would have been
small, for it was planted in driblets,
here and there. The weather bureau
reports show that the corn crop will
yield not mole than per cent. On
our relief farms we have better corn
than any have seen in Cuba, due no
doubt to the fact that we put more la
Dor on the growing crop than anyone
else was able to DO.
Business in the cities is desperately
dull. The hotels are empty, restaurants
idle and all small affairs are lifeless.
Large business concerns are scIaping
along as best they may, in the hope
that the future OF the island may be
definitely settled.
In the country the desolation
wrought by war and weather still con-
tinues without abatement.

The members of the afrlkanderbund

A Bloemfontein paper reports the
dismissal of several Englishmen from
the Bloemiontein police force, because
OF their refusal to serve on the COM
mand.
The general apprehension in regard
to the outcome was reflected by the de-
cline in consols and stocks ON the Lon
don stock exchange, where. although
all stocks continued depressed, there
was not the slightest approach to ex-
element.
The text of President Kruger's reply
was issued by Secretary Chamberlain
this afternoon. The language in many
places is taken to indicate a finn. un-
yielding position. The reply, how
ever, concludes:
IF her majesty's government is
willing. and ieels able to make this de-
cision joint commission. as at first
proposed by Cham berlain. it would put
an end to the present state of tension.
Race hatred would decrease and die

whole of South Africa would be devel-
oped and furthered. and determination

American farmers are to have competi-

market of the world. Consul Mona
CHAN. of Chemnitz. IN a report to the
state department, gives interesting de-
tails Of the agricultural possibilities Of
Asiatic Russia. Mr.. Monaghan says
that this vast territory is destined to
be one of the worlds richest and most
productive places. 1t IS particularly
we'll adapted to the growing Of wheat
and other cereals, and since the build
ing of the Siberian road, wheat
from this region has already found its
way to the European market.
At present the resources OF this re-

so for some years, as the population is
as yet greatly scattered, being less than
one InhaDitant to each square mile.
Immigration from Europe to Russia is
setting in however, and 1900 persons
