"TheodOre Roosevelt will never be
President. The people will Lot trust
him. His notion that a life of activ-
ity must be a life of STRIFE will never
become popular in America. The
people will not trust advocates of the
strenuous life. Teddy will meet the
fate OF Clay. The people prefer "a
man like Cleveland rather than Blaine
and they turn from Il man like BRYAN
to a Mckinley, because the people
demand conservatism in an execu-
tive. So said Senator Joseph ".
Bailey. of Texas. to a Republic re-
porter. He was chatting with friends,
and it was urged by Republican
that Roosevelt would receive the Re-
publican presidential nomination.
He may. said Senator Bailey. but
ii he does he will fare like every man
who has gone TO defeat before him
from having convinced the people he
was liable to do unexpected things. :"

CorOner's Jury.

Guthrie, Okla, August 3O.-Farrls
Clayton, of Burmah. Okla, was shot
and killed by Policeman Frank Ellis
in this city at | O'Clock this morning.
There is considerable mystery about
the shooting According TO the story
told by Linn Clayton. IA brother OF
the dead man, the two were eli route
to their home from Ponca City. where
they had been working They had
received word OF the dangerous i'll
ness Of their father and being without
money sufficient to pay their fares,
were stealing ride on top ola Santa
F. train. but when the train arrived
AT the depot in this city Ellis compell-
ed them to get off He let them off
upon payment OF 81 30, and insisted
on their going with him to a saloon.
They sat down at the lunch counter,
and when Ellis walked from the other
end OF the room until opposite the
CIaytOps, he suddenly drew his re-
vOlver. twirled il around and shot,
the bullet striking young Clayton in
the breast and producing almost in
slant death. There had been no
quarrel, and no cause whatever was
known for the shooting.
Ellis at once left and went first to
his home, then took a neighbor's
horse and rode east. This afternoon
the horse was returned by a negro to
whom it had been delivered twelve
miles east of the city. Ellis was cap
tured at Coyle. about twenty-five
miles from this city. The coroner's

ST. PETERSBURG, March 21.-It is
significant hat although the police re-
port on the recent riots, published, as
expressly stated in order to correct
false rumors concerning the riots does
not deny the most serious of the ru-
mors circulated, which are to the eff
feet that men and women were killed
here and elsewhere. The report does
not mention the subject of the stu
dents. 1t gives, however, the names
of four who died here, including one
woman. The report is not generally
credited with being an impartial state
ment. 1t is claimed that the passage
relating to the disturbance In the
church is particularly distorted, mani
testify, it is said. to prejudice the de-
vout masses against the students, the
intellectual element and the factory
workmen.
The statements that students enter

a student struck a priest, and another
student caught the chief priest rudely
by the arm, are discredited by eye

occurred entirely outside the church
until the cossacks pressed three humid
red persons into the church and fought
them to the back wall. 1t is also denied
that holy water was used to dress
wounds. The students sent a church
servant expressly for other water. 1t
is learned now that the police not
only prepared for the event themselves
but made previous arrangements at one
of the hospitals for the anticipated
wounded. They also had carriages
ready in neighboring court yards.
Lectures will hardly be possible for
the remainder of the year at any of
the higher institutions.
The participation Of the factory
hands in the riots is considered ex-
tremely grave, so far as the future is
concerned. \
1t is understood that measures will
be taken Monday to forestall the pos
sible marching of labering men from
the suburbs to the center of the city.
