We observe some very warm
dispatches, letters or cablegrams
in the Post and Paducah Register,
purporting to be from Marion, and
telling how awful mad Ollie James
friends are about the action of the
Congressional committee. Like
other cablegrams frequently to be
found in these Taylor-made pa
pers, those were in all probability
cut out, sewel together, labeled
and fitted on in their offices.

it seem to be universally conceded
that the jury did the right thing.
This should be encouraging to the

at as early date as possible, and
then Wy can once more hsys pescs.

Why not require candidates in
the regular elections to bear the
expense of holding the elections?
These elections, we presume, are
held solely for the benefit of the
candidates, and the people are
really putting themselves to a
whole lot of unnecessary trouble
when they go to the polls to vote.

NOT A CANDIDATE.

Last week Mr.. Ollie James an
nounced to his friends definitely
that he would not be candidate
for Congress. This announcement
will be a disappointment to his
friends in the district and through
out the State, and especially to
the Democracy of his home county,
where he would have commanded
the most loyal support of every
Democrat. The Democracy of
Crittenden have looked forward,
with a commendable pride, to the
time when one sprungfrom among
them, bone of their bone and blood
of their blood, as it were, should
enter the arena for Congressional
honors, knowing that the young
champion of Democracy WOULD not
only add strength to the organiza-'
ton and cause, but bring honor to
the good old county of Crittenden.
The PRESS does not speak by the
card in discussing the matters that
lead Mr.. James to reach the con-
clusion he has. While there were
probably other matters that enter
ed materially into the situation
that lead him to decline the earn
est solicitations of friends over the
to become a candidate, we
believe the action of the commit
tee in calling the primary at date
so early that it would have been
impossible to make anything like
a satisfactory canvass, and the
further determination Of, the CON-
nittee to place an unusual burden
lpon those who might aspire to
he honors of the party, had much
o do in shaping his course. While
or the past eight Or ten years, he '
las answered the call of his party Is
md its standard bearers whenever
nd wherever the demand was
made, always in the thickest of the {
Ight, both in and out of the dis q
riot, he has never, directly or in /
irectly, made his work for the /
arty and its nominees subservient /
D any ambition he might have |
ntertained, hence it is but natur-.
to conclude that thirty days is
time to make can
ass of a district embracing SO !,
luch territory as this. For the c
asst ten years Ollie James has il

ractice to answer the calls of his a

lency a qualification for aspirants
to its honors, we have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that it does not
take official dignity and prestiege

man a commanding position in the

leaders who placed the laurals
upon the brow of the great

later he expressed his appreciation
of Ollie James work. In the

Shown their high estimate. of his

placing him in the hottest of the

faith in the ability and courage of

he called him TO Frankfort to

NAME NEW YORK TICKET.
Odell Unanimously Nominated fo
Governor.

Saratoga, Sept. 6.-The state repub-
lican convention in session here today
nominated the following ticket: For
gCye.nCr, B. B. OdelI, Jr., of Orange;
Iiedtenant-go governor, Timothy L. Wood
ruff c. King; secretary of state, John
I. McDonoU2 / Of Albany; comptroller,
William J. Morgan CT Erie; treasurer,
JOHN P. Jacket CT Cayuga; attorney
general, John c. Davies of Oneida; en-
gineer, Edward A. Bond of Jefferson.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
OF the convention was the fact that
the speech nominating Benjamin B.
OdGll for governor was made by former
Gov. Frank S. Black, who had been
outside the organization breastWOrks
since Theodore Roosevelt defeated him
two years ago. Senator Depew pre-
scented the name Of Timothy L. Wood
ruff for lieutenant governor. Mr.. Odell,
in accepting the nomination, said in
part: Important as the state issues
are, they are Overshadowed by the
greater matters involved in the nation
al campaign. To my mind the para
mount issue is the reelection Of Nc
kinley, who has so ably kept all
pledges. Re-elect him and the policies
aready in force and to be inaugurated
will place us upon a higher plane than
ever before, and we shall enjoy the full
frutition Of our hope for general pros
perity. Every dollar Of obligation viii
continue to be worth 100 cents, and
wherever a flag floats, it will be re-
spected because American manhood
has baptized it with blood"
Mr.. Odell for governor and Mr..
Woodruff for lieutenant governor re-
ceived the unanimous vote Of the con-
ventiOn on the first roll call. Gov.
Roosevelt was invited to address the
gathering and in opening, cOngTatu-
lated the convention on the men nomi-
mated ad referred to the fact that the
republican party had been in power for
six years in this state. The republi-
cans had always kept their pledges, he
said, and the party felt that it had the
right to challenge the support Of all
men who desire the government to be
administered with cleanliness and ef-
iciency.

SUCH IS lie ORDER CABLED TO
GENERAL CHAFFEE.
PROSPECT FRIGHTENING
That Completely Harmonious Action
of Powers Will Be Secured-Con-
tinued Quiet in Fekin Tends to Re-
assure Chinese Oficials-Special
Commissioner Rockhill at His Post.

washington, Sept. s.-Orders have
been cabIed to Gen. Chaffee to prepare
his forces for withdrawal from Pekin.
Further than that, the war department
has taken steps to have at Taku a suf-
icient number Of transports to remove
the troops to the Philippines as soon
as they reach port. These orders do
not necessarily indicate that the gov
eminent has decided finally upon i'm
mediate withdrawal from China. 1t is
simply placing itself in a position to
carry out the pledge conveyed in the
reply to the Russian note in this Ian
guage: The result Of these consider
general expression by the powers in
favor of a continued occupation as to
modify the views expressed by Russia
and lead to a general agreement for
continued occupation, we shall give
instructions to the American forces in
China to withdraw the troops from
Pekin after due conference with the
other commanders as to the time and
manner Of the withdrawal"
There is the best reason to believe
that were the Chinese government
once assured of the personal safety Of
its members; were it relieved of the
fear Of the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China,
and the menace of a large foreign force
| in the capital, the imperial court would
lose no time in returning to Pekin and
opening negotiations for a settlement.
Hence the suggestion has been thrown
out that the allied forces in Pekin may
| be reduced to a number sufficient to
ensure the immediate safety Of the le-
| cations, while the remaining forces
retire beyond the walled city, perhaps
to Tientsin, and if the progress of the
negotiations seem to warrant it, per-
haps be withdrawn altogether from
Chinese soil.
There are only two obstacles to this
plan. One IS the difficulty of framing
suitable guarantees for a final settle
ment. The other is the UncOmprOmis-
ing attitude Of one Of the powers. It
is now believed the difficulty as to the
guarantees can be satisfactorily ad-
| juSted. The other obstacle may be
overcome by the threatened isolation
Of the refractory power; for 1t is be-
Iieved that no one power would care
to pursue a war upon China when the
other powers have deliberately ex-
pressed the judgment that further hos
tilities are unwarranted. The United
States government is devoting it's en-
tire efforts at present toward securing
harmony Of action to this end, and to
fastening the initiation of final negoti-
ations. Special Commissioner Rockhill
has left Shanghai for Pekin. A report
by cable from him indicated that he
had begun the discharge of his duties
as special observer of the present Chi
nese disturbances.

ROOSEVELT IN LA CROSSE.
Great Ovation Given the Rough Rider
Governor.

La Crosse, Wis, Sept. 1.-THE train
bearing Gov. Roosevelt and party left
for Fargo and the west at 11'last night.
There were two meetings yesterday.
one beginning at 2 o'clock for those.
outside the city and one at for inhab-
itants Of La Crosse and the immediate
vicinity. Special excursions were or
ganized from Madison, Sparta, Winona.
and other localities. Gov. Roosevelt
addressed both the afternoon and even
ing meetings, which were held at the
Empire rink The immense building
was crowded to its fullest capacity.
The feature of the parade was a small
company of dozen or more rough rid
ers that appeared to be cowboys, clad
in blue sweaters and the regulation
hats. Later it was learned that the
warriors were newspaper correspon-
dents. The democratic mayor OF La
Crosse and the republican board of
public works clashed by when the
mayor refused to raise the flag over the
city hall in honor of the day The
board finally triumphed by hauling no
the colors themselves. The afternoon
meeting was called to order by Con-
gresham Ech, who introduced Senator
Knute Nelson Of Minnesota. After a
short speech he introduced Roosevelt,
who received iattering applause. The
governor took up and discussed at
| length the financial question, imperial
ism and militarism. The evening was
! of even greater magnitude and the gov
ernor was enthusiastically received.

OF MODERN TIMES.
CITY A SCENE OF HORRORS
Half the Buildings Wrecked and
COrpses of Human Beings and Ami
mails EveryWhere-Corresp ondent
Of Associated Press Tells Story Of
the Storm-Losses Yet Unknown.

Houston, Sept 11.-Richard Spill
lane, a well known Galveston newspa-
per man and correspondent OF the AS
ISOLATED Press at that city, who
reached Houston yesterday after ter
rible experience, gives the following
account Of the disaster at Galveston:
"One OF the most awful tragedies OF
modern times has visited Galveston.
The city is in ruins and the dead num-
Der probably 1000 The wreck at Gal
weston was brought about by the temp
est and flood which turned the city into
a raging sea. The storm began at :
Saturday morning and by noon it had
become evident the city was going to
be visited with disaster. Hundreds OF
residences along the beach front were
hurriedly abandoned, the families
fleeing to dwellings in higher
portions of the city. The wind
was 50 fierce that the rain cut like a
knife. By o'clock the waters Of the
gulf and bay met and by dark the en-
tire city was submerged.
Flooding the electric light plant and
gas plants left the city in darkness. To
go upon the streets was to court DEATH
The winds were then of cyclonic We
locity, roofs portions of buildings, tel
egraph poles and walls were falling
and the noise Of the winds and crash
ing buildings was terrifying in the
extreme The wind and waters rose
steadily from dark until 1:45 Sunday
morning. During all this time the
people Of Galveston were like rats in
traps. The highest portion of the
city was four to five feet under water,
while in a great majority of cases the
streets were submerged to a depth of
ten feet. To leave the house was to
dlown. Such a night Of agony is sell
dom equalled.
By Sunday morning the waters
had gone down to two feet and by
free of the flood of waters. There was
hardly a habitable dry house in the
city, and when the people who had es-
ca ped death went out at daylight they
saw the most horrible sights imagin-
able In three blocks, from Avenue
n to P in fremont street, l saw eight
bodies. A whole business front for
three blocks in from the gulf was
stripped of every vestige of habita ion,
every structure having been either
carried out to sea or it's ruins piled in
pyramid far into the town, accord
ing to the vagaries CT the tempest. The
orphans home fell like a house of
cards, and how many dead children
and refugees are in the ruins is not yet
ascertained. Of the sick in st. Mary s
il Urinary, together with attendants,
only eight are understood to have
been saved. The old women S home,
en- Rosenberg avenue collapsed. The
Rosenberg school house is mass of
wreckage. The Ball high school is but
an empty shell, crushed and broken.
At the forts nearly all the soldiers are
reported dead, they having been in
temporary quarters which gave them
no protection against the flood.

ty and Guarantees of Treaty Rights.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE develop
ments in the Chinese situation still
point to a speedy withdrawal of the
United States troops from China. No
confirmation has been received here Of
the report that Great Britain and Ger
man had Joined in an agreement to re-
main t0gther in PelIin regardless of the
attitude of the other powers. Should
this be true the fact doubtless WOuiu
hasten the rearward movement Of the
American troops, for there is a firm de-
termination to avoid becoming in
volved in any clash between the pow
ers, such as might reasonably be eX-
pected to follow the execution of this
reported British-German program.
The part Of the problem relative to
withdrawal that remains unsOlved is
the best means of securing guarantees
for the attainment of the few objects
set out in Secretary Hays note Of July
3, which have not yet been secured.
Possibly guarantees must be obtained
from two sides; from the Chinese gov
eminent, as to the security of Amerl-
can treaty rights, and from the COM
mission which snall provide for pay
ment of indemnity for losses suffered
by American citizens and for eXpendi-
lures on account of the Pekin relief eX-
pedition.
Then it is entirely possible and it
may be regarded as necessary, if any
of the allies refuse to leave Pekin and
persist in a war Of conquest, that the
interests of the United States in the
matter of trade, of the "open door, y
and all rights now guaranteed to us in
China by treaty, be made the matter
Of a special agreement between the
United States and these warning pow
ers. It does not follow that because
the United States troops are to be
withdrawn this autumn from China
that our interests will be left complete
ly at the mercy of the other powers.
On the contrary, such a disposition
will be made of those troops that they,
with others if necessary, can be re-
turned to China in short order. To
this end Chaffee's army will be quar-
tered in the Philippines.
