GOebefs Successor Nominated.

CONVICTION, Ky, Feb. 2.-The Demo-
cratic executive committee of Kenton
county, which constituted the senatorial
district represented by the late William
Goebel, met tonight and nominated for
that office Matthew Harbeson, the late
Senator Goebel's law partner. The vote
of the committee was unanimous, as there
was no opposition. Arthur and Justus
Goebel, brothers of the late senator, have
been working earnestly for his nomination.
The special election will be held on the 5th
of March.
The present purpose of the Republicans
is to put up no candidate, as they hold
that such a course would be quasi recog-
milton of the resignation of Senator Goebel
before his death, which they deny. and of
the validity of the election of Senator L. H.
Carter as president of the Senate.

destroyed by fire yesterday and do not, in
my opinion, change the general tendency
toward a cessation of the epidemic. While

force, l consider that all danger of infec-
ton is over and believe that no outbreak
of the disease in epidemic form can or will
occur. for the reason that all sources of
infection thus for discovered have been de-
stroyed by fire. This has been done by
the authorities. regardless of cost or loca-

ST LOUIS, Jan. 25.-General Manager
Ramsey of the Wabash railroad, in an inter-
view with representative of the Associate |
Press, today denied certain statements that
have appeared in print in regard to the sit

presented by employees. He said:
Contrary to these reports I have not
promised the men composing the grievance
committees that their demands would lie
complied with, nor were they made any con-

return to work and they have done so, with
my promise that their grievances should be
fully considered, but no specified time was
set for this. President Ashley did not notify
Chief Arthur that | would satisfy the de-

be considered. He has lett the matter en-
tirely in my hands expressing his approval
of what had been done"
In regard to the statement that it was the
policy of the Wabash to ignore labor or

In speaking of the trust Gustav Hahn one
of the prime movers in the combine. said:
1T was necessary fer the druggists to aban-

1t was impossible to prevent the cut raters'
IRON securing shipments from jobbers and
manufacturers. The so-called trust was or
gani2ed three months ago in an effort to es-
tablish prices on drugs and prescriptions
which would allow a reasonable margin of
profit. For example. we were selling a
standard brand of sarsaparila for - cents
for which We paid 60 cents. On the schedule
arranged by the association articles were
listed at prices which left a fair profit with
out hardship to anyone concerned.

raters worked through country merchants.
Dealers in the small towns could often i'll
afford to purchase drugs in five-g gross lots,
thereby securing the extra discount and so
were willing to dispose of the excess amount.
The struggle was a harvest for the brokers
who sent out a list weekly to cut t-raters' of
material on hand. All the druggists will
now be cut-raters. 1t will simply be ques-
tion OF who can cut the hardest"
There was great satisfaction among the
nonconformists as to the course of events.
They felt they had gained a pronounced vic

the firm of Waldron & Campbell remarked
that although they had originally gone into

location of this firm and the proximity to

VICTORIA, B. c., jan. 25-The steamer
Miowera, which arrived today from Aus

thus far occurred at Honolulu from bubonic
plague. One white woman was among the
victims. The Miowera brought neither mail
nor passengers from Honolulu, off which
port it anchored for short time.
The Honolulu harbor officials reported in
tersland trade as paralyzed. Hilo has so
effectually barricaded its doors against the
introduction of the disease that its proec-

Immigrant steamers continue to arrive at
Honolulu from Japan and the quarantine ac-

SPEAKS FOR POSTAL CLERKS
Postmaster General Smith Urges In
creased Pay for Those in
Railway Service.

NEW YORK, Jan Pa special to the
Times from Washington says: Some time
ago Postmaster General Smith reissued an
order made by Postmaster General Wilson
in 1895, prohibiting postoflice employees from
visiting Washington to influence legislation,
The order carried dismay to the hearts Of
employees in the railway mail service who
had been planning vigorous campaign in
support of their contention for a reclassifca-
tion of the service. Mr.. Smith, however,
had no intention of leaving them in the
lurch or of having the plan defeated through
lack of support He has himself laid before
the committee on postofiices and post roads
the claims of the employees, with strong
argument in favor of increase in payment.
He points out that the United States expects
more from its employees in this service and
pays them less than the leading countries
of Europe. Compared with France, our
railway mail employees do the work of two
men and receive comparative ICES pay. In
England appointment to the railway service
comes as a promotion from city postohice
work and carries with it an advance of from
30 to so per cent Germany increases the
salary Of its railway mail employees accord
ing to the length of service, the average be-
ing 80 per cent.
