O'Clock next morning the porter raped

Another attempt was made to arouse
him, but without success. The porter
then climbed up to the transem and
peered into the room and saw the
occupant apparently in a sound sleep.
He reported the facts to Mrs. A. D.
Speed, who ordered the door broken
open. The smell OF gas in the room
was very strong. The gas jet was

Why Roosevelt Accepted.

In regard to RooSevelt's reasons for
accepting the nomination the Boston
Herald says:
1T was because Roosevelt had con-
suming desire for public Office, and
doubtless he was given to understand
that he could not continue to be gov
ernor Of New York. Then he was
ready to take the Office he did not pre-
fer for which, as he has said, he had
no qualifications and no taste, which
would be as uncomfortable as a prison
and as tiresOme as bore. He prefer
red even this hard fate to retirement to

CROWNED HEADS
FOR M'KINLEY
Because His Policy Is Believed
to Be Leading to a
Monarchy.

A recent Paris cable to the New
York Journal says: Maurice Inter
meyer, the distinguished attorney, who
has been enjoying the highest social
pleasures of Paris for several months,
said:
81 am going to New York soon to
work for Bryan and get my friends to
do the same. The superlative praise
showered upon President Mckinley by
the aristOcrats of England, France and
Germany, many Of whom are connect
ed with the crowned heads Of Europe,
indicates the favor with which they
regard the attempt of the Republican
party to undermine our constitution.
The English nobility is particularly ia
yorable to Mckinley, for they, not un-
reasonably, believe that the policy he
embodies must inevitably lead to aris-
tOcracy, If not to royalty. Expressions
from English aristOcrats recently pub
lShed in The Journal clearly Indicate
this.
My own experience in France and
Germany satisfies me that the aristo-
Gratis of these countries are particularly
favorable to Mckinley in the belief
that his party is sapping the founda-
tions Of our constitution. The Repub-
lican platform encourages Imperialism
under the guise Of commercial neces-
sity. The drift Of events during his
entire administration has made 1t quite
clear to the minds of the American
people that the Republican party
stands for naked Imperialism, and the
Republican platform is like the Nc
Kinley administration, a mere COM
promise and straddle which we will
wade through

Denounced as Weak and Evasfye by

Republican workers In Chicago and
the west are dissatisfied with the Re
publican platform.
The Tribune, the leading Republican
paper of the west published no edito-
rial on the document.
The Inter Ocean, Republican organ,
says: about 1000 words Of the plat
form are devoted to the issues of 1896
and about 200 to the questions that
came to the country with the war
against Spain One sentence is given

mention aroused the boud cheers Of the

Do the Boer war II states merely that
the United States government rendered
itS good Offices. Almost as much space
is allowed to the abOrtiVe Hague peace
conference as to the tremendous march
of events that followed the destruction
of che Maine in Havana bay. To most
delegates, as it may be superhuOus to
say, this declaration Of principles was
disappointing.
"The great questions which will have
to be asked and answered most fire.
Quently from every Republican plat
form in the next four months were left
almost untouched by it. In fact, II is
even now apparent from the converse
ton of the western delegates that the
Republican campaign must be made
largely on what the Republican plat
form does not contain"

No Damage by Fire.

Key West, Fla, has a fire record
which no other city in the country can
dispute. With population of over
10000, the damage by fire since August
20, 1898, will not reach five dollars. In
that time the fire engines have re-
sponded to two alarms. but in neither
case was it necessary for them to play
stream Of water. This record is made
more remarkable by the fact that with
the exception of 12 buildings every
house in the city is frame structure.
The loss by fire for the year previous
was only $1,000, and has not averaged
$1,000 since 1ss6.-Chicago Tribune.
