POLITICAL POINTERS
BRIEF NOTES ABOUT LOCAL AND
STATE POLITICS AND
POLITICIANS.
CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD
Both PARTIES, and for District and
County Offices-Joe Gaines Making
a Systematic Canvass for Con-
gress-G0ssip From All Quarters.

The assertion so frequently made,
that politics is a business with some
people, appears to find exemplification
in the case of the Office of united States
District Attorney for West Virginia.
Mr.. Gaines two assistants r Elliott
N~orthcott, of Huntington, and Emmett
Showalter, of Fairmont. Mr.. Northcott
has been looking upon the Authorship
with covetous eyes, but the fact that
it is almost a foregone conclusion that
A. B. White will be the gubernatorial
candidate precludes the possibility of
the selection of a candidate for Audi
tor from the same Congressional dis
trict. Now it is said that Mr.. North
colt aspires to a seat in Congress.
Showalter wants to be the Republican
candidate for Attorney General, and is
understood to have gone so far as to
secur a positive statement from Hon.
John w. Mason that he Is not after the
place, Showalter's candidacy Ringing
somewhat upon the attitude of Mr..
Mason. Joseph Gaines is a very popu-
lar man down in the Third district.
When he was defeated for the Congress
sional nomination, there were charges
of treachery. Now Gaines wants a
v~indication. 1t is said that he has al
ready commenced a systematic canvass
for the nomination, with a view to
placing his lines so well that no elev-
enth hour political strategem can wrest
the honor from him.

Congressman A. G. Dayton will have
a hard fight for denomination, as there
is still a great deal of opposition to
him in his own party. U. S. Grant
Pitzer and Scott Meredith are most
prominently mentioned for the place,
and it is reported that a deal will be
made between the two, in the hope OF
defeating Dayton in the convention.
Meredith's friends are claiming that
there is already an understanding
with Pitzer that his support is to be
thrown to Meredith in the event that
Pitzer realizes that he cannot secure
the nomination.

It is understood that since Col. t.
Moore Jackson's refusal to permit the
use of his name in connection with the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination,
he is being pushed forward as a candi-
date for the Legislature in Harrison
county. Some years ago Col. Jackson
overcame a big Republican majority
and was chosen county surveyor. He
is one of the most popular men in his
section of the State, and would secure
the support of more Republican and in
dependent voters than any man who
might be named.

Gaines, it will be remembered, was a
candidate for the United States Senate
when N. B. Scott captured the plum.
He did not feel that his chances were
very bright, and as a matter of fact
his hopes were founded upon the prob
ability of a deadlock in the caucus.
Gaines was one of several prominent
young Republicans who were very
much dissatisfied with the attitude of
Judge Nathan Golf, with reference to
the Senatorship. He and others broach-
ed the subject to Golf on at least two
occasions, and represented to him that
he could be elected il he would an
nounce his candidacy. In each instance
Judge Golf failed to define his position,
and his attitude was never understood.
Even while the caucus was in ses-
sion, it Is said that Judge Golf was
communicated with by Governor At
kinson's friends, but gave evasiye and
unsatisfactory answers to their ques-
lions. If Golf had positively declined
when approached by District Attorney
Gaines and others, the fight would have
been more complicated, and additional
obstacles would have been thrown in
the pathway of Mr.. Scott.

GUIDE sTOLE MONEY.

Stacyvi lie, September "a. James Cam
eron, "a years of age, who acted as guide
for hunting parties and who has had a
camp on the east branch of the Penob-
scot, is missing. He had been employed
guiding Benjamin Patterson and M. A.
Turner of Boston. The men talked free
Iy OF business affairs before Cameron and
in this way he learned that q sum of
money was to come by way OF American
Express Co. to Stacyville In Patterson IS
name and on finding out the exact mail
that it was expected to arrive on he made
an excuse to leave camp for a few hours,
leaving the two men busy preparing the
canoes for a trip up the river. After Ieav-
ing camp he went straight to the railroad
station where he presented himself before
the agent and asked for the money. After
some hesitation it was given to him
the amount being $l18 Next day Turner
and Patterson came out of the woods
and inquired Of the neighbors regarding
the whereabouts of Cameron. At the
station they learned that he had taken
the money and fled.

Operators Disappointed In Number
Who Went 10 Work.
More Idle Colleries Than
Ever Likely Today
Full Protection Given Men Who
Desired to Work.

Philadelphia, September 24.-Instead
of the expected clash between the troops
and striking miners in the Sohuylkill
region today, peaceful calm pervaded
the region and there was not the slightest
disorder for the soldiers to be called upon
to quell. In fact, in all three dis
tricts of the anthracite coal fields, the
day was extremely quiet, there being no
demonstrations whatever on the part of
the strikers.
While the oper ators claim that num-
Der of their employees returned to work at
the mines in the SchuylkilI region, it was
early in the day evident that operations
did not assume the activity which the
mine owners had yesterday anticipated,
and indications. tonight are that tomor-
row Will find more idle colIieries than at
any time since the strike began. The
soldiers moved over the roads leading to
the oollieries in Sohuylkil county from
early morning and thus afford ed protec-
tion to those desirous of returning to
work. No opposition was encountered,
however, and not very great many
avaiIed themselves of the protection
offered. The strike leaders claim
many additions to their ranks. No over
lures to end the struggle have been
offered on either side. The strike leaders
are occupying themselves in inducing
mine workers to quit and the operators
are endeavoring to mine all the coal they
can with their reduced forces.
Meantime coal shipments from the
mines are daily growing less and reports
OF advances in prices for the commodity
are received from all trading sections.

Asks Ii Other Course Wouldn't Be

Powers Laboring With
Germany
To Try To Induce Her To Change
Her Attitude.

London, September 25-3 80 a ma
semi-ofiicia1 announcement has been is
sued IN st. Petersburg that the European
cabinets are engaged in an endeavor to
induce Germany to abandon her demand
for the surrender of the instigators OF
the anti-roreign outrages as a preliminary
to peace negotiations.
The Vienna correspondent OF the Daily
Chronicle asserts that Russia reply to
the German note is very friendly, but that
although 1t appears to consent to Ger
many's proposal, it practically disap-
proves by asking w neither it would not
be best to open peace negotiations first,
to make the punishment OF the instiga-
tors of the outrages the first subject OF
discussion.
According to the Berlin correspondent
Of the Daily Express Germany Will
make new proposal, namely, that the
great powers form an International court
to try the Chinese officials accused oi
completely IN the outrages.
The Morning Post has the following
from its Shanghai correspondent dated
yesterday.
"The Russians recently organized an
expedition towards Nlukden which al
ready has reached Liao Yang, about mid
way between Niu Chwang and Mukden

grave danger. The only hope for for
elgners is that the pro-foreign viceroy o I
Nankin has not yet been removed.
Tuan's emissaries are working hard to
get him out of the way by murder or
suicide. The British and continental
press are still discu ssing Americas re-
ply which is generally regarded as en-
couraging Ii Hung Chang to delay the
neQotiations.

FIRE IN SACO.

Biddeford, September s4.-The farm
buildings of Charles Hood, consisting OF
dwelling house and barn situated on
the Buxton road in North Saco near its
junction with the Heath road, were des-
troyed by fire early this morning. The
mouse was story and half structure
with ell attached. The barn was small
one. Both were reduced to ashes. The
origin of the fire was mysterious. The
greater part of the household effects were
saved.
The buildings were new and about S12OC
would be required to replace them.
There was an insurance of $500.

DEAD In GALVESTON.
Conservative Estimate Now Places the
Number at 5000.

Galveston, Tex, September 94.-The
Galveston News list of dead from the
storm OF September 8 represents a total
of 3, 859 The indications are that not
more than 1000 Will be actually accounted
for. The News has made a diIigent
effort to get as complete a list of the dead
as far as possible. It is reasonable to as
sumo that 500 or thousand people
were lost whose names are not obtain
able, which would make the total death
list on Galveston island about 5000. The
News is OF the opinion that the death list
on the island is slightly below rather
than about 5000.
This statement is made notwithstand-
ing the fact that there are close obser-
vers at Galveston who are still estimat-
ing the death list on the island as high
as 700O.

STRIKERS GAINING.
Few Less Men working Yesterday
Tn an Before.

Hazleton, Pa, September 24.-Con-
trary to the expectations of both the
operators and the striking coal miners,
there were no developments in the strike
situation in the Lehigh region today. 1t
was thought in some quarters that, oW-
ing to the presence of troops in the an
thracite field break would occur in the
ranks of the strikers, or that a large
number of additional men would refrain
from going to work. The operators as a
rule predicted a break in the strikers
ranks and the labor leaders were equally
sure they would tie up this region tight
er than ever.
Tonight both sides claim they have
made good gains. 1t seems, however
from the most reliable reports received
here today from the entire region, that
the strikers made a net gain in point OF
numbers. The M. S, Kommerer coIliery
at Sand Run, on the north side, was tied
up today. but the operation is not large
one. There were many stories atioat in
regard to the situation at the Lattimer
mines. The strike leaders asserted that
the coIIiery at that place was completely
tied up, but when a representative of
the Calvin Pardee company, which owns
the mines, was asked about the situation
there. he said the colliery was running
along as usual ana that only about 80 out
of 1 100 employees had failed to go into the

Columbia, Pa, September 24.-Accord-
ing to the sentiment expressed tonight
there VIII be no break in the ranks OF the
striking iron workers at Columbia. who
today quit work upon the attempted
enforcement of a reduction of % per cent
in wages, quitting puddlers from four
to three dollars a stone. The strike affects
about 1000 men and boys employed In the
four mills of the Susquehanna Iron and
Steel company here and six or seven
hundred more employed at the Aurora
furnace at Wrightsville, the Vesta furnace
at Watts station and the York Rolling
mill at York, all of which are controlled
by the Susquehanna company. The
strikers are quiet and no demonstration
whatever has so far occurred. The three
dollar rate is IN force at all mills in the
combine, but the strikers refuse to accept
it because four dollars is paid at one OF
the Lebanon and other independent mills.

ROLLING MILL sTRIKE

Columbia, Pa, September 24.-The
four big rolling mills of the Susquehanua
Iron and Steel company at this place are
closed down today as the result of a
strike. Last week 1t was announced that
a 20 per cent reduction in wages would
60 into effect today and the men notified
the management they would not accept
the cut. The company remained firm and
this morning not single man reported
for work at any OF the four mills.
