New York, Sept, PA special to the
Herald from Washington says; Presi-
dent Mckinley win probably make a
few. speeches in Ohio during the politi-
cal campaign which is TO be opened IN
that state on Saturday of this week by
Governor Roosevelt OF New York and
Judge Nash, the Republican candidate
for governor.
Representative Dick, chairman of the
Ohio Republican committee, who is IN
Washington, suggested TO the pres0-
dent that he make a few speeches on
his way TO or from Chicago next month,
and il is the present intention OF MI
Mckinley TO comply with the request
TO the extent of making few remarks
IRON the platform of his train While en-
route.
Representative Dick says, on the part
Of the Republicans, that the campaign
viii be one of the most aggressive that
has ever been waged in Ohio.
The selection Of Governor Roosevelt

leaves no doubt as to the attitude which
will De assumed on the Philippine ques-
tior. There are a few Republicans in
Ohio. the most conspicuous among them
being Senator Foraker, who are not IN
complete harmony with the president
on the Philippine issue. but 1t Is not

THE G. A. R. IS DETERMINED.
VIII Have Nothing to Do With the
Dewey Celebration.

New York, Sept. 21.-At General Roe S
office today it was said the refusal Of
the Grand Army of the Republic to
take part in the Dewey day parade was
final. General Roe is not disposed to re-
cede an inch from his position. The ex-
confederate veterans will not march,
either being. unable to prepare in time.
Rear Admiral Schley and First AS
sistant Postmaster General Perry S.
Heath have sent acceptances.
1t will give me much delight" wired
Rear Admiral Schley, ito be present
and participate in the city's honor to
the peerless Dewey"
The mother and widow of Captain
Gridley OF the Olympia will be present
at the celebration. Governor Reynold
Sadler of Nevada declined 60 attend,
but said the state would be represented
by Senators Jones and Stewart.
Today Governor Roosevelt, speaking
at the Otzego couny fair at Coopers-
town, N. Y, said:
Il transacted one piece of business to-
day that may be of interest to you of
the Grand Army. 1 see by the press a
statement that there had been some
hitch in the arrangements of the pa
rade to meet Dewey. and telegraphed
to the major general commanding the
national guard of this state, that the
Grand Army is to have the right of po-
sition, or anything it wants in the pa
rade. If l can bring it about, l am go
ing to have the heroes of the great war
occupy the foremost position"
General Roosevelt is General Roe's
superior officer. and the Grand Army
may probably march in the place of
honor

WOULD JOIN BoER FORCES.
England Cannot Depend Upon In
habitants of Cane Colony.

Cape Town, Sept. 21.--Sir John Cor
don Spriggs, leader of the opposition in
the Cape house of assembly and form
.erly premier and treasurer of Cape
Colony, in an interview today said:
Il have no doubt that a portion of
the population of the colony would be
actively anti-British in the event of a
war with the Transvaal. I do not
anticipate a rising but some OF the
young and impulsive Afrikanders would
probably show their sympathy by join
ing the Boer forces. In my judgment,
the proceedings at today's meeting of
Afrikander members of the Cape
parliament were most intudicious. No
with those who would suffer while
fighting on the British side. 1t is i'm
possible that those who are doing their
best to uphold British authority should
conceive anything in the nature of a
retirement from the position adopted
by the imperial government. Any such
weakness would be fatal to the future
maintenance of British authority in
South Africa
Referring to the speech of Sir Will
lam Vernon Harcourt last evening in
New Tredegar, England, Sir John said
he considered 1T ill advised and in
judicious," andl especially at the pres
ent juncture. In his opinion Har-
courts assertion that Great Britain
could not claim general sovereignty in
the Transvaal when she had only
partial suzerainty would do more than
anything else to encourage disaffec-
ton
Il would remind the British public, y
said Sir John, that Sir William YER
non Harcourt was a member of the
government really responsible for all
the present troubles in South Africa
since 1881"

attitude should be taken.
There is nothing" declared the
president, that warrants war or an

In conclusion, President Steyn said
he would take this opportunity of lay

Rad for consideration, praying God to

Immediately after the speech Presi-

Another Setback In Her Attack Upon
the Fair Will.

San Francisco, Sept. 2l.--Tle first Of
the many petitions filed by Mrs. Nettie
r. Craven in her renewed attack upon
the estate of James g. Fair was denied
by Superior Judge Trout today. 1t
was the petition whereby the alleged
contract wife of Senator Fair sought
TO set aside the decree of partial distri-
button TO the children made in open
court on April Is. 1897.
The decree in question disposed of the
real estate which was taken out of the
probated will by Judge Stacks decision
adverse to the truet clause in the Will.
That decision is now under deliberation
in the supreme court.
In deciding against Mrs. Craven's
claims, Judge Trout thought it un-
necessary to file written opinion, Mrs.
Craven's petition being barred by the
statute of limitations.
