DIVIDE ALLEGIANCE.
Anti-Goebel Democrats Will Vote For
Yerkes, Also For Bryan.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 16.-After ses-
sion lasting three hours Wednesday af-
ternoon, much of it spent in tumultuous
excitement, the state and executive
committees of the anti-GoebeI Demo-
cratic party in Kentucky decided to
have no candidate for governor, but will
support John w. Yerkes, the nominee
of the Republicans. But while support
ing Yerkes the ants will also support
the Bryan presidential electors. Just
here is where the fight came in. Chair
man Sweeney was bent on instructions
for Bryan and he had his way 1t
seemed that very large sized minor
ity opposed voting for Bryan. Some
wanted the committees to declare for
Mckinley electors, and others opposed
any reference to national candidates
The fight was fast and furious, but the
extreme silverites in the crowd finally
carried the day and the anti-Goebel
Democrats will be expected to go to the
polls and cast a split ticket
The Republicans are not pleased with
the action taken, and the regular Dem
ocrats have no say coming The Re
publicanS have 4 right to feel sore, as
they had withdrawn their candidate for
congress in the Second and Third dis
tricts and Endorsed anti-Goebel Demo-
Gratis and have expressed a willingness
for similar fusion in the Seventh dis
trict The upshot of it all is that the
antis having insisted on instructions,
the party may go to pieces, as the mi
nority can see no material difference
between Goebelism and Organism.

AGREE ON ARMSTlCE.
u. s. Government Decides to
Suspend HOstilities.

Washington, Aug. ia special meet
ing Of the cabinet was held before noon
today at which the Chinese situation
was thoroughly discussed. The several
messages that have been received from
Minister Conger and Consul Goodnow
and the appeal of Lii Hung Chang that
the allied forces halt at Tung Chow in
order that an armiStice be arranged
were carefully considered.
An answer was prepared to this ap-
peal in which it is understood this gov
eminent agrees to an armistice for the
purpose of relieving the ministers, the
members of the legations and the peo-
plesunder their protection, either at the
inner gate of the city or the outer gate.
whichever the officers in command of
the troops may designate, after com
municating with the ministers them
selves
If the ministers think that arrange
mentS can be made by which their safe
ty will be assured in moving from the
British legation to the inside gate, which
is about 200 or 800 yards distant, this
government will agree to an armistice
for that purpose and after Minister Con-
ger has been safely delivered, this gov

ROUNDTREE FAILS.
Makes Effort to Drag Fire De-
partment Into Partisan
Politics.

An attempt to drag the fire depart
ment into partisan politics has failed
Lewis Knott was this morning aD-
pointed assistant foreman of fire station
No by Chief Wilmarth-
Mr.. Knott'S appointment is to fill the
vacancy made by the resignation of
George Moss who has gone to Chicago
Mr.. Knott has been in the service for IL
years. In making the appointment, abil-
ity and time of service was considered
as is the. case with all appointments in
the department.
An attempt was made on the outside
by Councilman Roundtree to drag poll
ties into the appointment. Mr.. Roundtree
is a candidate for county clerk and in
hopes of fixing his political fences in a
certain locality he did some work among
the politicians in hopes of having the
man of his choice who was not in line
of promotion appointed. Politics have
never been in the fire department and
Mr.. Roundtree found that even some of
the most rabid politicians in town were
unwilling to make any move in the mat
ter and refused to make any efforts in
that direction The fire department is a
credit to the city and it will remain so
as long as Chief Wilmarth manages it as
he has for years in an bipartisan man
ner.

it's The recent congress authorized
Secretary Long to build a government
almor plate factory if the bids were, in
his opinion, too high, and while he has
shown no disposition to do anything SO
-Socialistic'' he has rejected all the bids
and has readvertised, and it is almost
possible that this great government
may yet undertake to manufacture its
own aromr plate
The Boston Post says of Secretary
Longs action:
Secretary Long has refused to hold
up his hands at the command of the
great steel monopoly He rejects all
the bids for armor plate offered in re-
Spouse to the call of the department
This is only the beginning, but the
6rmnesS of the secretary gives encour-
agement that he may resist to the end
this scheme of tremendous extOrtion.
1T seems there were only three bid
ders. Two Of these. the Bethlehem and
Carnegie companies appear to be IN
collision. They offered identical terms
$3.50 per ton for the thick armor and
SAIL 80 for the thin-and they would
take all or nothing of the $4,000 tons
required. The other bidder, the Mid
vale company, wanted 10000 tons on
sliding scale from $43S upwards, but re-
Quired more time for delivery.
Now that Secretary Long has taken
his stand squarely against eXtortion, it
remains for him to stick to his position,
and we think he is the man to do it.
Congress shirked the whole business
upon his shoulders in q. weak and pusfl-
luminous way, but it also put in his
hands a weapon of defence against the
tiust which congress itself dare not use.
This is an appropriation of 100000
with which to erect a government ar
NOR plate factory in case the secretary
could not make satisfactory terms with
the private monopoly
THE department is to give the trust
one more chance to bid reasonable
prices. Advertisements will soon be is
sued. If this fails, Mr.. Long had bet
ter set up the government plant as
quickly as it can be done"

HANNA MAY RETIRE.
Campaign Brings on Recurrence of
Heart Trouble.

ST. Louis Aug. ia special to the
Republic from New York says:
To add to the perplexities of the Re-
publican campaign managers, Senator
Hanna's health IS causing his associates
on the national committee the greatest
apprehenSiOnS-
Although Senator Hanna has been at
his desk at headquarters every day this
attention that marked his vigorous
work at the organization of the head
quarters. He was compelled today to
give up work for several hours, although
engagements were pressing. This was
due to a recurrence of the heart trou-
BILE which caused such alarm among Mr..
Hanna's friends a year ago, and on
which were based the numerous reports
Philadelphia that he would retire from
the national committee.
The death of Coils P. Huntington
also affected Senator Hanna
1t was said by one of the national
chairman's intimate campaign associ-
ateS that no one would be surprised II
Mr.. Hanna were compelled to give up
the active direction of the campaign
and seek complete rest.
What the effect of this would be no
one is able to foreSee 1t would neceSSi-
tate the election of a new chairman of
the executive committee and changes
in many party arrangements.
Senator Hanna's threatened illness is
said to be due in part to the unprOmiS-
ing manner in which the campaign is
opening, placing on him many burdens
and much work that he expected to
avoid He had divided up the work
among bureaus and subcommittee in
such way that he had few matters of
detail to attend to-
This subdivision has not worked well,
and on top of that has developed the
most surprising apathy and Indifference
