PRESIDENTIAL POSTMASTERS.
MIR. Roosevelt Ignores Republican
Organization in Appointing.

Washington, Nov. 9-The President
has appointed the following postmas-
ters
Alabama - Decatur. Floy Kinds;
Union Springs, Henry Harris.
ssissippi-Clarksdale Anna Dur
ham.
Texas-Fort Worth. George w. Bur-
roughs.
The President disregarded the recon-
mendations of the Republican organi-
cations.
At Union Springs the contest was
waged warmly and neither Republican
faction won, the assistant postmaster
being promoted solely on his record.
The appointee at Decatur, Ala, is
the daughter of the retiring postmas-
ter, and was indorsed by business men
of Decatur. The State Republican
Committee had another candidate.
The Clarksdale, Miss. appointee was
postmaster during the Harrison ad-
ministration. w. G.. Cole was ap-
pointed postmaster there about a
month ago, on the recommendation OF
National Committeeman Turley. Pro-
tests were telegraphed here subse-
quently that the appointment was of
a carpetbag nature, and that Cole had
| resided at Clarksdale less than the
prescribed six months for citizenship
An investigation corroborated this
charge, and the change was therefore

FOURTEEN AT LARGE
CoNVICTS FROM LEAvENwoRTH
PRISON SCATTERED.
TWELVE HAVE BEEN CAUGHT
AND THESE ARE PLACED IN SOIL
TARY CONFINEMENT.

1t is Believed the Fourteen stiII ut
Large Have Broken Up Into Twos
and Threes Better to Avoid At
tention-Leader Thompson Yet
Uncaptured-One Man Captured
With the ShackIes still Upon Him.
Kansas City. Mo-, Nov. 9.-Armed
guards, aided at many points by farm
ers, to-day kept up an unceasing
search in the woods and on the high
ways in the country between Leaven-
worth, Kans., and the Kansas river
for the convicts fleeing from the fed
eral prison at Fort Leavenworth. AS a
result of the days work three prisoners
were taken unharmed. This makes a
total of twelve captured thus far
leaving fourteen still at large. The
men taken to-day were Gus Parker
and David Grayson, white prisoners,
sent up five years each for burglary
and larceny, who were captured three
miles north of Lawrence, Kans., and
James Wilson, colored, also a five
year larceny convict, who was arrest
still wearing his shackles.
Frank Thompson, the negro leader
and originator of the outbreak, was
reported as captured south of Tong
anoxie. Kans., but this report is be-
lieved to be untrue.
Wilson was found two miles out from
the business district of Leavenworth
this morning. He had been hiding in
the woods since Wednesday, unable
to travel fast because of his shackles
and was forced from cover by hun
ger.
Parker and Grayson were encounter
ed on the railroad track at Midland,
Kan, this afternoon by a farmer, Dave
Lewis. Parker carried a revolver, but
threw it away and both surrendered
and permitted Lewis to lead them into
Lawrence.
Three parties of deputies that went
out during the day to locate different
collections of eonvicts, supposed to
have been surrounded by farmers, two
going from Lawrence and one from
Leavenworth, returned at dark empty
handed.
1t is believed that the fourteen con-
victs still at large have broken up into
twos and threes and scattered to avoid
attracting attention, and this may as
sist them in getting away. 1t is now
possible that some of them may get
into the Indian Territory before morn
ing.
AS fast as the men are captured they
are returned to the penitentiary and
placed in solitary confinement. When
the condition of the guards shot at the
outbreak shall be finally determined
the convicts win be charged with the
added crimes of conspiring to kill their
guards, and with murder. if that
charge can be placed properly. The
dead bodies of Quinn, Huffman and
Poffenholz will be buried in the prison
grounds.

Refuses to DivulGe Result of His
Conference With President.
New York, Nov. 9.-Senator Hanna
reached this city to-day. A number of
Republican leaders called on him at
his hotel, but the senator said there
was nothing about his meeting with
them that partook of the nature of a
conference. Among these leaders were
Joseph H. Manley of Maine; Henry c.
Paine of Wisconsin, vice chairman Of
the Republican national committee:
r. C. Kerens of Missouri, Senator
Flkins of West Virginia, and Myron T.
Herrick of Cleveland.
In an interview which will appear
in the World tomorrow Senator
Hanna is quoted as. saying in reference
to the memorial to President Mckinley
TO be erected at Canton:
I'VE do not contemplate any great
historical memorial as do some of the
promoters of the memorial scheme in
Washington. We believe that if there
is to be a great historic memorial at
Washington it should have been
thought of years ago to honor the
memory of Lincoln and other great
men. Our plan is to have a memorial
that Will show the affection of the
PEOPLE for President Mckinley. We
believe that the people will res2ond to
this sentiment"
The senator refused to tell what was
said at the private interview between
President Roosevelt and himself at
Washington, hut he dilated on the
ligh character of Mr.. Roosevelt, and
expressed the greatest confidence in
him

IMPORTANT ARMY CHANGES.
Secretary of War Has ReOrganized
Philippine Division.

Secretary of War Has ReOrganized d
Philippine Division.
Washington, Nov. 9.-On the recon-
mendation of Gen. Chaffee, command
ing the division of the Philippines, the
Secretary of War has issued orders
for a reorganization of that division.
Up to this time the division has COM
prised four military departments, as
follows: Department of Northern Lu-
zon, commanded by Maj. Gen. Lloyd
Wheaton; Department of Southern Lu-
zon commanded by Brig. Gen. j. F.
Wade; Department of the Visayas,
commanded by Brig. Gen. r. P.
Hughes; Department Of Mindanao and
Jolo, commanded by Brig. Gen. G. w.
Davis. In accordance with the action
of the War Department to-day the di-
vision will be divided into only two
military departments. to include within
their limits the entire Philippine arch
ipelago. They will be known as the
departments of North and South Phil
ippines. The northern department will
be commanded by Maj. Gen. Wheaton
and will include the islands of Luzon,
Mindoro and Masbate and all the in
tervening territory. The southern de-
partment, which will be commanded
by Brig. Gen. wade, VIII embrace the
remainder of the archipelago, and in
cludes the large islands of Samar,
Panay, Mindanao, the Vissyas and
Jolo.
The consolidation of these depart
ments is in accordance with Gen. Chat
fees plans to institute a vigorous ag-
gressive campaign against the insur-
rectionists who recently have become
active and troublesome in the Islands
of Samar, Leyte and in the extreme
southern portions of Luzon. 1t is I'M
derstood that large bodies of troops are
to be concentrated in the districts
where outbreaks have occurred, under
the command of officers of high rank.
with the full purpose of promptly
stamping out the spirit of insurrection.
It is said. Furthermore. that the re-
duction in the number of the depart
ments, in addition to making the mill
tary forces more compact and efficient,
will result in reduction of expenses.

THE ALABAMA ELECTION.
Conventions New Constitution Will
Probably Receive $4,000 Majority.

Conventions New Constitution VIII
Probably Receive 25,OOO Majority.
Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 9.--Monday
the citizens of Alabama will vote for
the ratification or the rejection of the
constitution formed by the late con-
stitutional convention.
For several weeks a warm campaign
has been waging and the people have
been fully informed as to the provis-
ions of the proposed instrument.
The calling of the constitutional con-
vention was a measure of the Demo-
cratic party. Many prominent Republi-
cans favor the adoption of the new or
ganic law, while many influential Dem
ccrats are opposing 1t.
The proposed constitution has for its
main purpose the disfranchisement of
the negro. and at the same time to
leave the ballot in the hands of every
white man in the state. The advo-
Gates of the new instrument say that
this will be brought about by the adop-
tion of the proposed constitution. 1t
arovides for a lieutenant governor,
increased the terms of state officers
to four years, lowers the limit of tax
alton, and makes many other changes
from the fundamental law, under
which the state is now being gov
erned.
Both sides claim victory, but from
the best sources of information the
new constitution will carry by ma
iority exceeding 2b 900

ON CHARGE OF FORGERY.
This VIII BE the Arraignment OF
LOngbaugh at st. Louis.

St. Louis. Nov "a telegram re-
ceived to-day by Chief of Police Kiely
from County Attorney Charles Pray at
Fort Benton, Mont, asking if it were
true that the man arrested here as a
Montana express train robber suspect
has been positively identified as Harry
Longbaugh. Chief Kiely Immediately
sent the following telegram in reply:
I'VE have under arrest John Arnold,
alias John w Rose. alias Cunning
ham. alias Harry Longbaugh. partial
ly identified as Harry Longbaugh. We
have about $1,000 money known to
have been taken from the Great North
ern Express car at Wagner Mont,
July 3. This man undoubtedly is one
of the robbers. Am sending by to-
nights mail his picture and descrip-
tion. If wanted by you answer at
once"
The police have decided to keep the
man supposed to be Longbaugh in st.
Louis and prosecute him on the charge
of forging the signatures of the bank
officials to the notes of the National
Bank of Helena. His case and that
of the woman. Laura Bullion, arrest
ed with him, will be presented to the
federal grand jury next Tuesday.

THE MAYORS SHOW.
1t Took Place Yesterday in London
With Many New Features

London, Nov. 9.-The Lord Mayors
show took place to-day and was more
than usually interesting as there were
a number of new features. Special at
tention was paid to the colonies, which
We're represented by attractive cars.
The Lord Mayors banquet at the
Guild Hall tonight was a spectacular
close of the days festivities.
The presence of Lord Salisbury af-
forded an excellent excuse for reiterat-
ing the attitude of the government to-
ward the South African controversy.
The response of the great audience in
the banquet hall might be described as
satisfactorily loyal, but could hardly
be called enthusiastic.
Ihe feature of the evening was Lord
Sahsbury's speech in response to the
toast to His Majesty's Ministers" Re-
ferring to the progress of the war in
South Africa the premier said
1T is pleasant to record that the
peace of the world has been so little
disturbed by the events of the last two
years. Half a century ago we would
not have found such correct and
pacific attitude on the part of all the
great Powers. 1t is a sign of the in
creasing international amity and un-
derstanding also that the cloud of the
past three weeks over the Mediterran-
can has so lightly passed away. Fifty
years ago this would not have been
So"
Touching upon South African de-
VeIopments in another part of his
speech, Lord Salisbury said:
Il strongly deprecate the spirit of
pessimism so frequently heard in the
utterances of some of our public men
as to the war in which we are en-
gagged. Unlike the wars of former
years, no longer does the capture of
the enemy's capital and the dissipa-
tion of his field force constitute a con-
elusive victory. We are now con-
fronted by a system of guerrilla war,
which must be slowly and effectively
stamped out. We are progressing
slowly perhaps, but steadily.
Il cannot take the public wholly into
the confidence of the government. It
would be most imprudent publicly to
state all we are doing weekly and
monthly at the front, but what I en-
phatically declare is that whatever
delays are encountered, these are due
neither to a lack of earnestness and
ability or our generals in the field,
not to neglect to comply with all of
their demands on the part of the home
government.
1--WE have been subject to much
vague and indefinite criticism, but our
bitterest opponents have not been able
to point out any tangible defect, any
definite cause of complaint.
Il deeply regret the ravages of the
war in the colonies to which we are
arxious to accord the fullest practical
ble measures of f-government, but
we have had neighbors in South Afri-
ca, whose conduct for years has been
a menace. to the stability of that Sec
tion of our empire. Now we are en-
gagged in removing this menace, and we
are determined to do it so effectually
that it never win require doing again .
This declaration was received with
cordial but by no means enthusiastic
applause.

MaGnates of the FIOWery Empire
Pay Homage TO Dead Diplomat.
Pekin, Nov. 9.-The foreign minis
ters this afternoon went in a body,
wearing plain mourning, to the late
Ii Hung Chang's yamen and present
ed their condolences, according to Chi
nese custom. Chinese soldiers lined the
streets near the yamen and the great
crowds which gathered in the streets
and about the yamen were perfectly
orderly. All the city officials received
the ministers in the outer court. The
coffin was in a spacious inner court,
temporarily rooted. 1t rested on an
altar behind a screen, and had over It
a royal pail, conferred by the Empe
ror's command, an honor heretofore be-
slowed only on members of the i'm
perial family. Many Buddhist priests
were in attendance. There were rows
of tables bearing offerings of food,
amounting to several tons, and piles
of paper money. Candles and incense
were burned about the coffin.
Ii Hung Chang's two sons stood near
the casket, attired in sackcloth. Be
fore the screen was a cushion, where
the Chinese callers made prostrations.
The ministers, however, stepped for
ward, singly, and bowed low. The dean
of the diplomatic corps read an ad-
dress of sympathy. to which the oldest
son of the dead statesman replied in
Chinese, the youngest son interpreting
his words into English. The scene
about the yamen was animated and
picturesque Hundreds of officials were
present in their robes of office. Mount
ed retainers are arriving daily from
all parts of the province

President Says He Must Receive En-
dorsement of Virginia Lawyers.

dorsement of Virginia Lawyers.
Washington. Nov. 9.-There was
much activity at the White House
again to-day in the matter OF the va
cant federal judgeship in Virginia.
There are already about a dozen or
more candidates in the field. To- day
Judge L. l.. Lewis Of Richmond ap-
peared in response to a summons from
the President to confer with him on
Virginia political matters. Judge
Lewis has been in no sense a candidate,
but some of his friends have urged
him and he came here at the request
of the President. When he left he said
that his attitude was just what it was
before he came. Both he and John S.
Wise. who accompanied him, were in
excellent spirits.
]. Hampton Hoge, the recent Re
publican candidate for Governor, who
is the candidate Of the Republican or
ganization in the state, also saw the
President to-day and was told that he
must procure the Endorsement of the
lawyers of the state. Col. Hoge said
this was difficult, as he had for years
been fighting the Democrats and they
would be loath to recommend him. 1t
is understood that Col. Ttoge tried, un-
successfully, to secure the Endorsement
of Senator Hanna. The latter declined
on the ground that he was not law
yer and had made il a rule during
McKinley's administration not to make
recommendation in judicial appoint
ments. He said he could not change
the rule now.
