POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
CoIer Coming Around.LTbe lat,

Coier Coming Around.-Th latest
alleged interview with the Hon. Bird S.
Coier represents him as being willing to
enter the race for the Democratic guber-
material nomination in New York provided
the Ramapo robbery scheme is to be made
one of the principal issues of the cam
paisn in that State. Only the day before
this interview was given out the father
OF Mr.. Coler asserted in the most positive
terms that his son would not under any
circums tances, permit the use of his name
Tor Governor because of the pressing de-
mands upon him to resume his active con-
nection with the brokerage firm formed
years ago by the head of the family. 1t
is believed. however, that the Comptroller,
having had taste OF politics. has con-
tracted the office appetite, and that de-
spite the pronounced wish of his father
TO the contrary. is rather eager than other
wise to continue in the game. The gov
ernorship OF New York is prize worth
striving for, no matter il the Plat ma
chine is trying to cheaper 1t by insisting
upon its chief lobbyist, the Hon. B. B.
Odell, being the Republican nominee. 1t
is generally thought that unless the ma
iority of the voters of New York be radi-
caliy different in their mental makeup
from what the mass Of Americans still are
supposed to be, that a race for Governor
between men like Coler and 0dell would
be such one-sided affair it would excite
very little interest Assuming that New
Workers are not wholly given over to the
lagoian doctrine to put money in thy
purse, it is believed that Coler would beat
Odell In canter- The Ramapo question
OF itself, it is said, would show conclusively
The partnership existing between the Platt
machine and the organized corporate
wealth of the State. AS Comptroller of
Greater New York, Mr.. Coler did more
than any score of citizens combined
to scotch the Ramapo scheme. one of the
most gigantic and far-reaching plans of
public loot and plumber in the history of
the State. His conduct in this affair DEM
onstrated at once his courage and fair
ness. 1t did not show him to be a blind
and irresponsible rsnter against legitimate
corporations conducted upon sound busi-
ness principles, but it did prove that he
Is opposed to corporation greed and ra-
pacity. Mr.. Coler is not popular with
Tammany. and Boss Croker Is supposed TO
be quietly laying wires for his defeat,
but 1t is confidently believed that IL his
name is presented to the Democratic State
convention for Governor 1t will precipltate
a Wild stampede which cannot be che-k4d
hy Croker and his Tammany forces. 1T at
he would defeat Odell or anybody noni-
mated by the Plat machine is not doubted
by well-informed politicians OF either
party in New York

No Successor to Heath.-Apparently
the Administration is having a hard time
in its search for successor to the Hon.
Perry s. Heath, whose resignation as First
Assistant Postmaster General became eff
fectiye only day before yesterday. though
it was decided upon nearly month ago.
The position has been offered to and de-
ciined by various persons notably the
Hon. Curtis Guild Of Massachusetts, and
ex-Representative Curtis. of Iowa. There
is nothing in the Office at present to at
tract man of influence or ambition. All
Of the postoffices have been filled by Mr..
Heath or somebody else with pull enough
to direct his appointments. and even IL
Mr.. Mckinley is reelected and the new
appointee is continued in the office, there
will be nothing for him to do except draw
his salary. In view of these facts it Is
probable the President or M. Hanna or
Postmaster General Smith. or whoever
runs the Postofiice Department, will con
tinue to look in vain for First Assistant
Postmaster General Of the desired qualifl-
cations as to political prestige. There is
a person in the Department from New
York named Beavers who seems to have
the call for the place over all OF the other
departmental applicants. Beavers is fol-
lower of Boss Plat, and that influential
statesmas - supposed to be backing him.
The Administration does not appear TO be
enamored of the Beavers idea. because he
does not represent in himself that prestige
which means. at least. a vote or two in
November. But with Mr.. Platt's support 1t
is thought to be possible for Beavers to
land the place. provided, OF course. no out
slider OF the desired qualifications is found
who Is willing to accept the Office. Beavers
at present is Chief of the Division of Al
IoIances and Accounts. and in the absence
OF the Hon George Allen. has acted as
chief clerk OF the First Assistant Postmas-
ter General. This experience is presented
by his hackers as sufficient reason for his
promotion to the vacancy over the heads
of numerous official superioTs.

The Approach of Motherhood is the

Every woman breads the ordeal

ing a mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is n source Of
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the

anticipations with which she looks for
ward to baby's coming gives way to an
Understandable dread of the ordeal when

event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.

munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to child bearing.

ALABAMA VOTES.
Democrats Elect State Ticket by q
Majority Which VIII Reach
More Than $4,000.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. IA gem
eral election for state and county Off
GERS and for members of the general as
sembly was held in Alabama Monday
and a large majority was returned for
the democratic ticket, headed by Will
liam j. Sanford, of Lee county who
will be inaugurated governor Decem-
ber /. The republicans, populists and
prohibitionists, besides the democrats.
had tickets in the field, but returns SO
far indicate victory for the democrats
by an overwhelming majority. The
democrats have also gained several
members of the general assembly. The
populists and republicans will together
possibly have II of the 1873 members OF
the legislature, loss of about so
per cent. The democrats have elected
county officers in several counties
which have heretofore been strorg.y
populistic.
Reports are slow in coming in and
Capt. Smith. of the state campaign
committee. gives out no figures, but it
is estimated by the democratic man
ayers that the majority will be more
than $4,000. The election was regarded
as test of opinion on the mooted ques-
ton of holding constitutional conven-
ton, which is favored by the demo-
Gratis, and the increased majorities are
taken to indicate that the people are
favorable to the holding of conven-
tion which will eliminate the negro
from politics.
The legislature, which meets in De-
cember, will elect Senator Morgan to
succeed himself and will be called upon
to legislate upon important matters.
In this, the Ninth district, Congress-
man Underwood was nominated with
out opposition to succeed himself. In
the Eighth district Judge William Rick
ardson, of Madison county, was elected
to succeed Gen. Joe Wheeler, who re-
signed his seat in congress, special
election having been ordered by Gov
| Johnston. "i l.i

ANARCHISTS LOCKED UP.
lowed to Speak in Chicago
Five Are Arrested.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Anarchists were
excluded from the West Twelfth Street
Turner hall Sunday afternoon, where
they intended to hold meeting to re-
joice over the ASSASSINATION of King
Humbert. The hall was kept closed
by direction of the police, and scores
of plain clothes men and uniformed
officers patrolled the vicinity. Mem
bers of the organization who found the
doors shut to them were not permitted
to remain in the locality. Mrs. Lucy
Parsons refused to move out of the
shade of an abandoned church across
the way and was carried from the
sidewalk to patrol wagon. She pro-
tested against her arrest and reviled
the officers who had her in charge.
Two of her friends were arrested for
persisting in remaining near her. The
formidable array of policemen caused
most of the men and women who had
gathered to hurry away, and the few
who were not rapid of movement were
hastened along by the gruff shouts
| and heavy hand of the officers. Five
arrests were made, and the prisoners
sent to the Maxwell street police sta
ton. Any riot or incendiary speech
was nipped in the bud by the decisive
action of the police.

STRANGE TRAGEDY.
Man md Wife Fight Duel In
PhiIndelphin-Both Are
Killed.

Philadelphia, Aug. ga duel be-
tween young man and his wife Sat
urday night ended forever a tale of
conjugal misery. Shots were heard on
the premises of Arthur Sinclair at
Duffryn Mawr. Then there was
scream, and listening passers-by heard
no more. Several men who were
neighbors went into the garden of the
Sinclair premises. In the pathway lay
The body of Sinclair. across that of his
wife. Both were dead. In the hand
of each was a pistol.
1t had evidently been duel b.-
tween man and wife. So far as any
of the neighbors knew, Sinclair and
his wife had been on the best of terms.
Mrs. Sinclair used to wait for her
husband at the gate every evening
and welcome him affectionately Fri
day, however, there was quarrel,
but no one knows how it came about.
The housekeeper at the Sinclair home
says she saw Mrs. Sinclair handling a
revolver. When asked what she was
going to do with il she said she was
going to use it; that she was not GO
ing to put up with any more foolish
ness. Further than this the affair is a
complete mystery.
The police authorities made every
effort to unravel the mystery. There
are three theories as to how the
tragedy occurred. One. that they
agreed on mutual suicide; second,
that both fired at the other in duel
and third, that the wife killed the hus.
band with her pistol. threw it near his
body and then took her own life with
| his revolver.

DOUBT HIS WORD.
Consuls mt Shanghai Discredtt Ii
Hung Chnng's stntemen mt That Min
listers Have Left PeLing,

London, Aug. IA Shanghai special,
dated August 6, says: Iii Hung Chang
has officially informed the officials that
the ministers left Peking for Tientsin
last Friday, August 3, with Gen. Yung
Lu in command of the escort. The CON
suls are by no means disposed to credit
Earl Lis statement
All other reports that have reached
London up to this hour indicate that
the ministers have not left Peking
A cablegram from the British consul
at Tientsin says: "News from the
japanese legation has been received
up to August - Therefore the edicts
announcing the safety of the ministers
on that date are confirmed.
Monday the Chinese minister, Sir
Chih Chen Lo Feng Luh, communicated
to Lord Salisbury a message from the
tung-li-yamen. dated July 81, reiterat-
ing the statement that the ministers
were safe on that date and recount
ing the friendly relations existing be-
tween them and the yamen, as we'll as
reporting the sending of supplies TO the
legations by the yamen. The message
contains this important statement:
"a successful termination of the confer
ence with the ministers for their convey
ance under escort to Tientsin Is expected; /;
but, on account of the recommencement of
hostilities at Tientsin, code kilograms for
transmission to the representatives are
considered undesirable"
"The advance of the allied forces
commenced to-day cables the Brit
ish consul at Tientsin, under date of
August 4. This is the first official
information received here that the
attempt to relieve Peking has begun.
1t is accepted as correct. The British
consul does not mention any fighting;
but the Shanghai correspondent OF
the Daily Mail, telegraphing Sunday
says: 1.-The Peking relief column is
reported to have suffered shock. The
chinese are said to have adopted Tu'
ge,a tactics, and after several hours
| of figh ting. to have retreated."
This is the only message received in
London this morning bearing out the
reports of Admiral Remey and Com
mander Taussig regarding an engage
ment at Peitsang. The fact that the
advance did not begin until Saturday
is taken to strengthen the accounts o.
battle Sunday.
The st. Petersburg correspondent o.
the Daily Mail says: "Active negota
tions are proceeding between Russi;
and the United States. the probable out
come of which will be n resolution t.
uphold the integrity of China uncondi
| ttonally."
