Roosevelt Will Make Speeches
Before He Knows He Is
Nominated.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service
Oyster Bay. L. l., June Ex-Governor
Roosevelt will begin his campaign for
the Republican national ticket before
he is officially notified of his nomination
for vice-president. This is contrary to
the expressed determination of the
governor made some days ago. His
change of mind is the result of his talk
with Chairman Payne yesterday. Payne
urged the governor at the instance of
Hanna and other members of the ma
tional committee that Roosevelt make
some political speeches on his way back
from the Rough Riders reunion at
Oklahoma City. The governor con-
sidered the arrangements presented
good, and agreed to the proposition. He
will make two speeches in Kansas, but
the places have not yet been definitely
selected. He will speak at Quincy, ILL.,,
and at Chicago.

WATCHED BY DETECTIVES.
Officers Follow Ex-GOv. Taylor
Two With Warrants And
Two to Protect Him.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 26.-Broken in
health and spirit, Ex-Governor William
S. Taylor, Of Kentucky, started for Nj
agara Falls last night. He was ac-
companied by Mrs. Taylor. and four de-
tectives followed close at their heels.
Two of the officers represent the state
Of Kentucky and bear warrants for the
arrest Of Mr.. Taylor upon charges
growing out Of the assassination of Gov.
Goebel. The other two are employed
by Mr.. Taylor to guard his person.
His stay in this city was devoid Of
personal pleasure. He accepted but one
invitation, and denied himself to every
body who called upon him at the hotel
where he made his headquarters.
He came here to attend the Republi-
can national convention as a delegate
at-large only after having been assured
that no requisition calling for his en-
forced return to Kentucky would be
honored.
The strain is telling upon both the ex-
governor and Mrs. Taylor. All the time
they were in the city their rooms were
closely guarded and Mrs. Taylor per-
sonally answered every rap on the
door. She denied herself to all callers
and was on the verge of collapse sew
eral times.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.l
Berlin, June 26.-Another report re-
garding Admiral Seymour and his COL
umn has reached the government. The
German governor Of Kiou Chau cables
under date Of June 25, that the Chinese
assert that Seymour has reached Pek-
ing. This report, together with that
from the German consul at Che Foo is
taken in government circles as distinctly
encouraging, 80 far as the safety Of Sey-
mour and the allied forces under his
command are concerned. Both may be
true. The German governor Of Kiou
Chau does not give the date on which
Seymour arrived in Peking, presumably
it was some days ago. He would natu-
rally gather together the various embas-
sadors and ministers and the foreigners
in their care and start for the coast.
He may by this time have reached the
point designated in the German consul's
advices. If this il true, Seymour will
be heard from definitely in the next
few hours.

RUHLIN WINS
FROM SHARKEY.
The Greatest Surprise in Ring
Circles of the Year.
BETTING FAVORED SHARKEY
Many Bets Were Made That the Akron
Man Would Not Last Ten Rounds
and at Five to One That the
Sailor Would Win.

Special to News Democrat.
New York, June 27.-The greatest sur
prise in sporting circles that has occur
red in some time was the one given to
the sports last night by Gus Rubin, the
Akron giant, in defeating Tom Sharkey,
the sailor, in fifteen rounds of the hard
est kind of fighting. Sharkey went to
the floor in the fifteenth round after two
minutes and 55 seconds of fighting.
Rubin felled the beefy sailor repeat
edly and ended 1t all by a stiff punch
to the jaw Of the sailor. Rubin was
never picked as winner and all the
bets were at heavy odds in favor of
Sharkey, and many bets were made
that the Akron man would not last ten
rounds. Just before the fight began
many bets at five to one in favor Of the
sailor were made. The end of the bout
was as sensational as were all the
rounds. Sharkey came up for the last
round in remarkably good shape and
trying to catch Rubin unawares, swung
the right viciously to the jaw but the
Ohio man cleverly side-stepped out Of
the range. Sharkey rushed again and
this time Rubin sent him back stagger-
ing with right and left on the jaw.
Rubin followed with a terrific left jab
on the nose and a right handler to the
| short ribs. Finally Rubin rushed the
| sailor to the ropes and landing three
terrific rights on the head sent Sharkey
to the boards. The sailor arose after
1a No.
to be beaten and battered numerically
about the head. He arose again after
six seconds but had scarcely got in po-
sition when Rubin began another on
slaught and after battering the sailor
Numerically on the head with right and
left handlers, scored knockout with a
| terrific right on the jaw.
At the very end he rained such a
shower Of blows on his helpless victim
that 1t was q wonder that Sharkey ever
returned to consciousness.
1t was a remarkable battle character
lied by as hard fighting as was ever
seen In any ring, and by rough and foul
tactics on the part Of the loser that in
any impartial arena or before an impair
tial referee would have cost Sharkey the
fight long before the moment when he
was beaten into insensibility.
| REPORT DENIED.
| New York, June 27.-The report that
Tom Sharkey, who received fearful
beating in his contest with Rubin, last
night, died today is connive, according
to Tom O'Rourke, who said this after
noon that there was no truth in the re-
port.

SPANKED A BOY
Who Had TOrpedoes in His
Pocket and Teacher Will
Lose Hand.
Special to News-Democrat.

0pCSlii "
Binghampton, N. Y, June GA whis-
pering small boy and a pocketful of
torpedoes will cost George Gaige, q
school teacher, his right hand. Gaige
is employed in one of the outlying dis
tricts, and among his scholars is a
youth named Eddie Mallon, ten years
old.
The boys Of the school formed a club
to procure ammunition for the Fourth
of July, and it has been customary for
each one to spend his pennies for am
munition, which was placed in a hiding
place, to be used in common with the
club. Eddie had purchased a dozen
giant torpedoes on his way to school,
which he placed in rear pocket. In
school he was several times repriman-
ded for whispering, and at last the
teacher called him to the desk and talk
ed to him. Despite the lads protesta-
tions he placed him across his knees,
administering terrific spanking There
was a flash, report, and the teacher
sprang from his chair holding his hand,
which was scorched and lacerated.
The torpedoes had exploded, strangely
enough without injuring the lad be-
yond scorching his trousers, but burn
ing Gaige's hand. The wound was
dressed, but later blood poisoning set in
caused by particles of the torpedoes,
and physicians say his hand will have
to be amputated to save his life.

CABINET POSITION
May Be Shively's Portion Ii
Bryan is Elected
President.
Special to News-Democrat.

Special to News-Democrat.
, Indianapolis, June 27-The report is
current among local Democrats that
in case Mr.. Bryan Is elected president,
Mr.. B. F. Shively will be given place
In his cabinet. 1t Is recalled that Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Shively met at South
Bend prior to the state Democratic
convention, after which Shively refused
to permit the use of his name in con-
nection with the presidency, and
he also declined to be considered a can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for governor. The promise from Bryan
Is said to have been secured by Judge
Howard, and it Is stated that Mr.. Bryan
had no hesitation in expressing his
determination to reward Mr.. Shively in
the most substantial manner possible.
Another thing causing much gossip
here is the announcement that Mr..
Shively will accompany the official train
to Kansas City instead of taking pas
sage on the special arranged for by the
free silver wing of the party. The free
silver men are steadfast champions of
Mr.. Shively, while the conservatives
have been accused of being lukewarm in
his interest. The conservatives will
control the official train.
