~ NE can understand why Secre-
~ tary Root, on general principles,
wouldn't enjoy his war-depart-
ment job. He inherited an ill-managed
bureau, he made his advent into public
life at an awkward time. BY winning
out he had, to be sure, everything TO
gain; by falling he had everything 10
lose. That he will play a losing game
is altogether probable. if the gossip cur
rent in Washington has foundation.
1t isn't so much the war at Manila
that is making Secretary Root its vic
tim. His trouble is nearer home-in-
deed, it is within the cabinet circle
Mr.. Hay, secretary of state, had no
part in the matter when Root was APP
pointed. They say that in many vex-
ing ways Hay has crossed Roots plans
assuming, in instances, authority
which, Root says, belongs to the war
department and refusing, in other in
stances, to honor certain things Root
has done. There is loud talk in Wash
ington to the effect that Root will re-
sign before long-he will resign be-
he does propose to be another John
Sherman and be crowded out
The appointment of Mr.. Root to the
secretaryship was wholly a political
move. Anxious to recognize both of
the New York republican factions, Mr.
Mckinley appointed Root who had
wanted to be sent to the court of ST
James or to Paris or almost anywhere.
as the representative of the New York
independents"
Plat did not like the presidents
choice, of course. But they are saying
that Plat is pleased with the way
things are going-he expects to see Root
draw out or be put out, and he knows
that then he will be rid henceforth of
those whom Root represents. 1t is a
great game it has little to do with
Manila; it wholly concerns home poll
tics.

V good deal of talking recently,
and as he claims to have been
duly elected senator of the United
States to represent the state of Mon

public interest and may with pro-
priety be made the subject of
casual comment. Some of his obser-

from Los Angeles to the effect that he

He is now reported as dropping some

Mr.. Clark also says that when the dis

known Langdon for several years and
had not known him to work for, the last
two years. Witness had seen defendant

responded the chief.
Officers Powers Frank O Brlen, Steb-
bins and McMasters and Joe Benzer May
Ryan and May Andrews were the other
witnesses for the prosecution.
When the prosecution had concluded it's
evidence Attorney Sawyer, for the de-
Tense, asked that the case be dismissed on

tion was overruled
William Mckenzie, the defendant testi-
fled that he owned real estate in Main

houses. He said that he had never lived

ANACONDA WS
POLITICS IN NEW YORK.
j. j. O'COpnor of Elmira Tells of the
Situation in the Empire State.

Situation III the Empire state.
A typical resident of the Empire state
is J. ]. OConnor of Elmira, N. Y, who
was a guest at the Montana hotel yes

hair: an air of the wel-groomed man of
the world about him from his easy tan
shoes to his jaunty straw hat his appear
ance stamped him as New Yorker at
first sight. And then his conversation
contained that indefinite elusive some
thing. not accent alone. nor even choice of
phrases but peculiar combination of
both, that belongs to the inhabitant of
New York.
Mr.. O'Connor is a gentleman of wealth
who has large interests not only In New
York, but on the Pacific coast, notably
at Seattle. He has figured extensively in
the democratic politics of his state. has
been a member of the state Legislature
and, while he repudiat ties the insinuation
that he is still active in politics. neverthe-
less stands high in party councils.
81 have been West several times" said
he last evening just prior to departing for
Butte, but have never before stopped in
this section. In New York we know of
your state and of your great mineral
wealth, but in an indefinite sort of way

of our whole country. You have a SPLEEN

sources are more prominent, l am struck
with the great agricultural possibilities
that exists in Montana. You are but be-
ginning to develop them.
The conversation drfted to politics and
brought forth a denial from Mr.. O'Connor
that he was active in political matters.
But" said he, cit takes no high powers
of discernment to see that the democratic
party in New York state is more or less
disorganized by fractional disturbances
and can only be successful next year by
sinking the disagreements and coming to-
gether. Whether or not the party leaders
will be able to bring about this result
cannot say.

state is in good condition. The nominal
ton of Theodore Roosevelt last year was

from personal acquaintance, having sat
with him in the legislature, is clean, up

NOT TURNED LOOSE.
Mr.. johnson win Go to Jail to Await
Trial on the Charge of Burglary

"Ah dun kick da stone over and dar All
found da watch an chain,'' was the ex-
PLANTATION given yesterday before Justice
Devine by John Johnson, a colored man
who was charged with having stolen some
valuables from the room of George Carter
on June 20.
The preliminary hearing took place yes
terday afternoon and Justice Devne' $
court was crowded with the dudes and
bellies of Darktown.
Johnson created considerable laughter
in court by the way he conducted his
defense. When Carter was on the stand
johnson became greatly excited over the
formers evidence, and cried out:
you calm lock in nah eye an say
that All dun that. Ah'm jes es innocent
as an unborn chile and your see dat

Despite his frequent protestations of
innocence Johnson was bound over to the
district court for trial on the charge of
burglary. b. s
Prosecuting Attorney Duffy filed an in
formation against him on this charge in
the district court.

How does Bryan stand in New York."
He Is extremely popular so far as
am able to judge. Were he to be renom-
mated | am certain he would poll a much
larger vote In the state than he did in
1896. Had the democrats of New York
done their duty in that election Bryan
would have been elected. The ungrounded
fears of the multi-milionaires and those
who follow them were the cause of the
defeat, this class having instilled terror
into the minds of many people, making
them believe the finances of the country
would go to ruin with Bryan in the exec
utive chair. Time is wiping out these
fears to great extent while making plain
to the people the material evils of re-
publican rule

da, will defend tho constablcs when
ever they arc brought to trial. The
firm is composed OF Mr.. Colo L.
Blcase, Of Newberry, and Eugene S.
Blease, of Suluda.
Mr.. Cole l.. Blcase, of Newberrv,
was in tho city yesterday and went
to tho penitcntiary to consult With
his clients. uo was accompanied by
Sheriff McCravoy, Of Laurons, who
is friend Of Crawford. Mr.. Blease
said this morning that he had not
yet mapped out his course of action
and had not decided whom or where
h" would apply for bail. He return
ed to Newberry this morning and he
SAID that tho constablps would re-
main in tho penitentlary for some
time yet, or until his plans had been
perfected.
1t is likoly that some other law, ers
will be engaged in the case, but who
they will be has not been decided.
Tho constablcs are said to have no
money to engage counsel, but they
have friends in the State who it is
said will aid them. The State will
not defend them or aid them in any
way, it is stated.
The constables were informed yes
tcrday afternoon of tho verdict of
tho coroner's jury. Those held ns
accessories were much surprised and
considerably wrought up that they
should be SO charged. Crawford
naturally expected to DO held OH tho
charge of murder and he accepted
the situation without comment.
Coleman showed little or no concern,
while Dorm and Cooley showed by
thoir actions that they wero i'll ut
oase.
Crawford would not talk further
about tho tragedy, except to dony
that ho was drunk. Ho said he had
not taken drink for six weeks mr. :
Til tho night Of the tragedy. This
he took after he went to his room
"to case tho pain" in his arm.
OF course Mr.. Bleaso did not give
away his plans, but it is practically
certain that motion for a change OF
venue will bo made when the case
comes to trial. Judge Watts will be
the presiding judge. Court meets

ken till o'clock this afternoon, and
after waiting an hour for the 9th
Illinois to get ready to leave camp
we started for Gulnes.
During the morning the men Of
the three regiments on Fire Noun
tain spent the day in visiting various
places of interest on the mountain
and in tho valleys, the most impor.
tant of which was mammoth cave.
| think every man in the brigade
visited this cave before we left the
camp. The cave WAS largo and very
dark, the atmosphere being damp
and cool. Two springs were found
in tho cave and several piles Of bones
wore seen. The visitors carried can
dies so as TO be abIo to SEQ while
away in the cave.
At | o'clock tonts were struck and
q little later wo started for tho city
of Gunes. The journey was un-
eventful, several rosts being indulged
in during the three hours march.
AS we passed through the city the
people came out into tho stroets and
cheered the soldiers
The camp is situated by the side OF

facilities. We are on the line Of the
