THE KENTUCKY,s FIRST WORK
Likely to be to Force Payment of an
Indemnity From Morocco.

Washington, November 8.-The in
structions of the state department to
United States Consul Gunnere, at Tan
gier, under which he acted yesterday,
were to collect an indemnity from the
Moorish government for the murder of
Marcus Essagin, a naturalized Ameri-
can citizen who was killed about a year
ago by a mob. Essagin became in
volved in an alteration with a Moor,
against whom he had accidentally run,
when a crowd of the Moor'S comrades
fell upon him and beat him to death.
The Moorish government disclaimed
responsibility for the killing, but the
United States government contended
that the Moorish government had fail
ed in its obligations in declining to
take any steps to punish h perpetra-
tors Of the crime. Now Mr.. Gunnere
is directed again to present the case,
with an urgent request for a settle
ment.
It so happens hat the big battleship
Kentucky is making her way through
the Mediterranean to Manila, and if she
touches at a Moorish port, as she would
be very likely to do, her presence may
have a beneficial effect in stimulating
action upon the %consuIs demands.

HIS SENATORIAL RETURNS
Are About the Only Election News to
be Had at Chairman Simmons Head
quarters Election Returns Very
Slow In Coming In.
Messenger Bureau,

Raleigh, n. c.. November s.
The official of election re-
turns was made today. 1t was found
that this county gave Simmons ISL ma
jority for senator.
Ex-Judge Womack. who has been one
of the of Simmons campaign
and who also did a great, deal of spe-
cial work in the August campaign,
speaking about the slowness of getting
in returns save as to senator said: THE
people forget politics for the primary.
Up to today n could not get news
save as to the senator right here in this
county. l am glad I opposed the pri-
mary. Only ~seventy-ive delegates were
in the hall when the state democratic
convention ordered the primary. 1t is
exceedingly doubtful that there will be
another primary. This one has devel-
oped the fact that a candidate must
have some one to look after his in
terests at every polling place in the
state. This is a costly business" Your
correspondent hears it said that the
cost of the primary and it's attendant
campaign to General Julian s.. Carr
was perhaps $50. 900: that in Wake alone
it cost something like $500.

call for the meeting viii have the sig
of prominent democrats. The

silver leanings. 1t will be mailed
throughout the land to all democrats,

New York. November S.-Ex-Gov-
ernor William j. Stone said of the pro-
posed reorganization of the democratic
party:
This kin of talk always follows
the defeat of any party. Had the re-
publicans been defeated they would be
talking reorganization today. Those
who have the most to a about reor-
~ganiZatfon are generally the ones who
contributed most to the defeat of their

G.. Carlisle has wired the Atlanta Jour

paper for his views on the reorganiZa-
ton of the democratic party. Mr.. Car
Isle says:
I'm my opinion the democratic par
ty should at nee organize on a demo-
cratic basis. An immediate return to
the conservative and patriotic position
occupied by the party before it was de-
moralized by populism. and free silver
republicans in 1896 will invite all true
democrats in an active opposition to the
Objectionable policies of the admins
tration, insure the success of our
northern friends in state and local con-
tests and prepare the way for a great
national victory in 1904.
1.-THE democratic votes cast for Mr.
Mckinley were not endorsements OF
his party or his administration, but
protests against what was considered
the dangerous purposes and tendencies
of the opposing candidates.

A Bad Substitute

A British temperance journal has
been publishing a prescription for "a
substitute for brandy" in cases of
faintness or severe pains. 1t consists
of equal parts of the strongest tine
ture Of ginger, sal volatile and chloric
ether" Temperance people ave had
the recipe printed on cards and dis
tributed with the injunction, Pass it
on"
The Lancet points out that brandy
usually contains about SO per cent of
alcohol, whereas of the temperance in
gradients the tincture of ginger is es-
sentially pure alcohol, the sal volatile
contains alcohol in h proportion Of
6 parts out of 9R, n the chiOric ether
has 95 per cent of alcohol. The mix
ture, therefore, contains SO per cent of
alcohol compared to so per cent in
brandy and is, The Lancet has no
doubt, extremely eficacious.

Lost His Temper and His Job
Colonel Cirujeda, the military in
structor of the boy king Of Spain, has
lost his post and has been transferred
to a small garrison in Anda1usia, on
account of his brusqueness. Not long
ago Alfonso XIII, accompanied by his
friends, sons Of mobiles. went to the
royal country house. situated on the
borders of the Manzanares. The king
left during the drill hour. and Cirujeda,
burning with anger. sought his pupil
everywhere. He met the queen and
asked her where the little king was.
Her majesty replied that he had gone
to the country to play.
Then Cirujeda, Unable to repress his
Indignation. exclaimed. II think they
want to make a shepherd of the king
instead OF a soldiert"
On the following day he received a
communication from the minister OF
war ordering him to change his resi-
dence.
