Oyster Bay, July 12.-Shortly after l.
o'clock to-day Senator Wolcott, calling
the committee of notification togethe
on the porch of the Roosevelt home or
, Sycamore Hill, formally notified the re
publican vice presidential candidate o.
his nomination. In response Governor
Roosevelt said:
1 accept the honor conferred on me
with the keenest and deepest apprecia-
ton of what it means: and above all
Of the responsibilities that go with it
Everything in my power will be done
to secure the denomination of President
Mckinley, to whom it has been siver
in this great crisis of our national his
tory to embody the principles which
are nearest the heart of every Ameri-
nan worthy of the name.
This is much more than a party con-
test. We stand at the parting of the
ways. The people must now decide
whether to go forward along the path
of prosperity at home and high honor
abroad, or turn their back on what has
been done in the last three years; or
whether they will turn their country
into an abyss of misery and dishonor,
and, what is more, of shame.
| feel we have the right to appeal, not
only to republicans, but also to all good
citizens, no matter what their party
affiliations have been, and to ask them
on the strength of the record that Nc
kinney has made and on the strength
of the threats implied by the Kansas
City convention a few days ago, to
stand shoulder to shoulder, striving to
perpetuate the conditions under which
we have reached at home a degree of
prosperity never before attained in the
nations history. and undr which abroad
it has put our flag on a level on which
it has never before in the history of the
country been placed.
For these reasons we have a right to
look forward with confidence to the YER
dict of the people next November. and
to ask all men to whom the welfare and
honor of the national name is dear to
stand with us in our fight for prosper
ity at home and the honor of the flag
abroad.

sort of chattel, which could be moved
about here and there as Congress saw
fit, rather than something bequeathed
to us by our ancestors. 1t was, he said.
a sort of Observation-Disclosures OF the
constitution"
1t was a contention that the Con-
stitution could not get into territory
unless Congress placed it there. He
denied that the constitution in itself,
extended to the territories by declar-
ing that it was an inanimate sub
stance lacking the powers of locomo-
ton.
At this point Justice White asked a
series of pointed questions OF Mr..
Perkins.
The justice first asked il Mr.. Per-
kins' contention would lead him to the
conclusion that Immediately upon the
making of a treaty ceding territory
to the United States, every person born
in that territory after the date OF ces-
sion became ipso jure a citizen OF the
United States.
Mr.. Perkins answered in the affirm
ative, saying that if his contention
was correct. those born in the terri
tory after the cession were citizens
if they were civilized and not in the
position of our Indians.
Justice White asked what authority
there was for excluding Indians. He
pointed out that the distinction be-
tween the American Indian and the
citizen antedated the constitution. He
again propounded the query to citi-
zensliD following Immediately on the
conclusion of a cession OF territory.
Mr.. Perkins answered that undoubt-
eddy persons born in the territory after
the session and subject to the jursdic-
ton Of the United States were citizens
OF the United States.
Justice White suggested that in this
answer under the jurisdiction of the
United States stated out of the ques-
ton the very contention which was be-
ing made in these cases.
Mr. Perkins said the limitations of
his answer was intended to cover such
special circumstances, relating to In
dams and uncivilized persons which
had been referred to.
Continuing his argument, Mr.. Per-
kins cited many other authorities, sup
porting his view that the constitution
in itself extended to territories.

ing the activity of the blood-making
glands Golden Medical Discovery"
Strengthens every organ of the body.
Accepting the fact that the blood is the
life, it follows that the healthfulness OF
the physical life will depend upon the
healthfulness Of the blood, and that a
deficient supply Of blood must result
in q deficiency of physical strength.
vGolden Medical Discovery" gives
health and strength by increasing the
quantity and improving the quality of
the blood. The evidence of this lies in
the marked gain in weight experienced
by those who have become emaciated
by wasting disease, and who have been
cured by the use of Golden Medical
Discovery" 1t is not a gain of fiabby
fat, but a gain of sound flesh and firm
muscle, and with this gain OF flesh and

expresses the real regeneration which

MEANING OF THE SCHEME TO LOAD
DOWN THE HAY-PAUNCE-

Special to the Register.

Special to the Register
WASHINGTON, D. c.. December IS.
The indications are that the Nicar-
aqua canal bill will not become a law
during the present session OF Congress,
which virtually means that it is DOOM
ed as long as the present administra-
ton remains in power AS will be re-
mengbered, this bill passed the lower
house of Congress during the last seS-
sion by an almost unanimous vote, and
was held up in the Senate by the treaty
made by Secretary OF State Hay and
Lord Pauneefote, the English ambassa-
dor, treaty which was entered into
for no other purpose than TO delay the
final passage of this bill. Now come
an almost innumerable number of
amendments to this treaty, which it is
conceded that Great Britain will not
agree TO, as might be expected we find
such men as Senators Hanna and Elk
ms not only voting for, but earnestly
working for the adoption OF these
amendments. Even Mr.. Mckinley, who
has always manifested so much interest
In the building Of this waterway, is
lending his aid and comfort to the
drafting and adoption OF these amend
ments No one who is familiar with
the history of the efforts OF Senator
Morgan and a very few others allied
with him, in their efforts TO construct
this all-important canal, can entertain
for a moment the belief that Mr.. Nc
Kinley, Senator'S Hanna and Elkins
and few OF their associates are ct
heart in favor OF this enterprise when
it is known that the trans-continental
railroad system, until recently con-
trolled and manipulated by the late c.
p Huntington, has its immense lobby
here before Congress Going all in its
might to defeat this measure. In con-
nection with this matter it would very
much surprise the average reader OF
your paper TO know how many OF the
members Of the United States Senate
are either directly or indirectly inter-
ested IN railroad enterprises, as attor-
neys for these corporations or as stock
holders therein. The building Of this
canal would greatly interfere with the
earnings of these railroads, not only
with those having lines running
through to the Pacific slope, but with
all their numerous connections, which
are benefited by high freight rate to
the western coast of our country and
also 10 the far east.
The construction Of this canal would
mean such reduction in the freight
rates across the continent that it would
virtually take this entire business out
of the hands OF the railroads, over
which the latter now have an absolute
moEopoly and hence. their army OF
shrewd and we'll paid lobbyists, who
are ready and willing to offer all sorts
of inducements to defeat this work, so
important to the great masses OF the
American people

have the news now. The loss on our
side was three men wounded, and We
recaptured two prisoners of our regi
merit. One was captured eight months
ago, and the other was captured three
weeks ago. The niggers suffered
very heavy loss. There were eight
killed and fifteen wounded, and we
also captured forty ght rifles and 49,,
0O0 rounds OF ammunition, and three
field pieces. We are expecting to get
in tonight, but l hardly think they
will bother us any more, after the way
we threw it into them. On September
16 we just slaughtered them, and We
can do the same thing over again, il
necessary.
