matters political, says:

past month, only more so Judge
J. B. Dibrell of Segmn formally an
nounces in this issue Of the Sentinel

ocratic nominating convention, and
we have heard nothing recently

ner OF Uvalde had Withdrawn from
the race. Every now and then
Mr.. Wheeler of Arkansas Pass and
Mr.. Murray of FloresvilIe arr
mentioned IN this connection, but
if they are candidates they evident
ly wish to keep the fact dark
Those who ought to know are firm
in the belief that Garner and
Dibrell will be the only names
placed in nomination and it is
foolish to contend that either Of
these gentlemen has assure thing"
At present the Fifteenth Congress
sional District has no chairman or
to be more exact it has two, MIR
Bricks Of Hondo aud Mr.. Morris
of Stockdale, one OF whom will
have to be deposed by 5enateChair-
man Wells. 1t is understood that
Mr.. BruckS fav0rs the nomination
of Mr. Garner aud Norris is sup
porting Mr.. Dibrell the friends of
each are bringing every influence
to bear upon Chairman Wells for
their retention. Where the nom
mating convention Is to be held is
another question. Laredo aud Cor
pas have been both suggested and
it is probable that one OF the two
places will be selected. -

eagle oratory against Uncle Sam.
One of them is credited with com
planning of Great Britain as sacri-
fcing Canadian rights in the Alas

ed States, winding up with the fol-
lowing declaration:
If it is necessary, to fight the
yankees, we will fight within TWEEN
ty-four hours and after six months
we will capture their capital and
annex their country to Canada"
This sounds very threatening.

Gus boys, is likely to prove i'm
pregnable even to an attack from

THE CURIOUS CASE
Of H. S. Baker Committed to the
 Asylum Yesterday.

II. g. Baker. a young man who was before the probate court yesterday on q charge of insanity, presented d curious case of mental Arrangement. lie was as well aware of his condition as any one else and undertook to offer an explanation of the causes of it. He even thought that if he were not com mitted to the asylum he might by an extraordinary exercise of will-powei' refrain from the manifestations of in sanity of which his friends complained. The young man is twenty-one years oi age and is the son of Sperry Baker, who lives four miles east of the city. The Baker family came here from Paola. Kan. q little more than Q year ago. It was little later than that the sen began to show signs Of a weaken ing mind. He had been troubled with nervous prcstration for some years re- suitiHs from CverwOrk at school and had to abandon life Of study when he was seventeen years old. He was kept in a sanitarium at Kansas City fer long time. but he was not greatly berefited and the physicians said that nothing would do him more good than an out-of-door life
 Within the last four months his ner- v0usncss has been incr casing and h. has become irritable and threatening. He has threatened the lives of his rela . tives and has talked of committing sIii- eide. One CT his manifesto ations was the ordering of his relatives to do uareason able things. Fo: instance, he would tell his father to go out and walk around the house ten times. If the order was not obeyed the young man would go into a frenzy. Sometimes ai the table he would order a member oi the family to stop eating and vouIit uc what he had eaten. Then the young man would have another paroXysm. He vas humored as much as possible. bui he Kept growing worse.
 After he had heard a recital of his performances he admitted the ruth oi the story. but .le was ready to tell why he had done so. He said he had beer very much run over in his youth ant ! dictated to. and he believed that tn, time had come for him to be dictator

Said he: That may have been an error of judgment" Regarding the story of his talk about suicide he said it was talk and nothing more. He had no mo- ton of trying it and iie had not even threatened to kill himself. His conver- sation on that subject had been merely casual and disinterested. The young man has an intelligent face and his ian guage is GCCd. He evidently made good use of his time while he was at school and has read a great deal since for he
 is quite well informed regarding cur rent events. He seemed to have only one mania. He imagined that he had been kept down and forced to associ> te social equals. That he seemed to think was the cause of all his troubles and he blamed his brother largely for that.
 After the conclusion of the eXamina- ton pr. Dameron told him that he be lieVed that it would be a good thing for him to go to the hospital for q short time until his nerves were restored.
 Baker locked at him and said: Hos . pital. Do you mean the asylum?''
 lie gave way to fit of weeping and when he had finished he said that he believed that confinement in the asylum would do him q great harm. He was conscious, he said. that he was having a great deal Of trouble to preserve T sound mind. He feared that the humil- iatior of q residence in the asylum would complete his mental destruction. He was committed.

KNOX AGAIN READY FOR WAR.

While Attorney General Knox was away last week recovering from his serious illness, his family was rather uneasy lest he should have a relapse. The attorney general was travelling with physician who is a personal friend. He sent no word to his home as to the progress of his recovery, but after leaving Fortress Monroe for New York he sent mere nctice of his change in address from the Virginia resort to New Rochelle.
 Two days later Reed Knox, the at torney generals son, who is familiarity known as judge walked into the of flee of MT. Long. the private secretary of MT. Knox, with a joyful smile on his face.

NO ONE WANTS THEIR ROSES.

How great. will be the loss of thou sands who had expected to reap for tunes during the coronation ceremonies in London it has been impossible to estimate. Here is one item alone in which the losses are practically ire parable:
 In anticipation of an enormous de- mand for roses-the coronation flower the florists Of England and the coHti- nent laid out large tracts of land with rose bushes, planning it so that the flowers would be ready in the last days of June.
 It was estimated that the kings sub jectS would wear and use for decGra- tions at least sixty millions of red roses alone and would be willing to pay from two cents to four cents apiece for them.
 This w;is a moderate estimate. AS coronation week approached it was feal ed that the supply would not equal the demand.
 The English retail florists poured in orders for thousands of blooms upon the gardeners. The fortunes in pros pect seemed to be very close at hand for the price of roses went steadily UT in anticipation of scarcity. Now il is all at an end. Instead oi great profits there will be great losses No one wants red roses now.
 The florists who ordered and have i literally tons of flowers coming from the continent which they will be un- able to use, will bear the loss in part But most of it will fall upon the grow CTS in whose offices the notices of can- cellation are piled high.
 The larger part Gi the rose crop will die upon the bushes and the gardeners will De out of pocket the money they have spent OR land, on plants and or cultivation in anticipation of the prof it's which the sudden illness of one man has reduced to airy nothings.-NeW York Sun.

PRESIDENT INVITED
To Take in Arizona on His Western
 Tour This Fall.

It is possible that Arizona will be included in President Roosevelts tour of the west, which it is announced that he will make this fall IIe will cer- tainly visit some O. the western states. He has promised to go to Texas and to some of the states of the northwest. and he has made q conditional promise that he will visit California. That is inc outline of an itinerary which would naturally include Arizona
 Governor Brodie yesterday addressed the following telegraphic request to him:
 The people Of Arizona earnestly hope that to them will be accorded the honor Of a visit from their president on his journey westward They will hail with joy your coming and anxious ly await your reply. Grant us. if pos siple, cur desire"
 There are many reasons why the president would like to come here. One is that he will almost certainly have something to do with the statehood bill next winter. &ud ha would there fore like to see something of our ter ritory. Then. also. he would want to meet his old comrades of the Rough Riders, and more of them. according to population, live in Arizona than in any other state or territory. The relation ship between the president and the governor is something more than a comradeship, for during theil service together a personal friend ship sprang up. and it has grown stronger ever since. If the California. trip should be made. il would almost be neo oessary for the president To pass through the territory. and h. would hardly do that under the circumstance without stopping.

THE BUILDING ORDINANCE
As Amended IL Meets the Approval of
 Contractors.

The cases between the building in spector and Clinton Campbell have been finally settled amicably and with re- suits that are satisfactory to all con- cerned and greatly for the benefit Of the city. The building ordinance which went into effect a year ago was de- signed 1O be for the best interests Of the city and fer the protection of prop erty But the ordinance originally adopted was the same as that in force in Jos Angeles. Some changes had
 been made to meet lccai conditions.
 though the trimming had not been
 thorough enough, and il was found
 after use that in many Of it's provisions
 hardships were worked on both con-
 tractors and those who desired to build.
 Things were required that were un- necessary, inconvenient and expensive. Resistance was made by MT. Campbell. net because he wanted to be a law
 breaker but to emphasize the situation so something would be done to correct matters. As was announced, at it's last meeting the council made several amendments to the ordinance covering the points involved in the contest and ma king it practical law. Under the revision there is nothing Inspector Sunderland can complain in the work done by MT. Campbell at the Kelso, and yesterday issued him q permit to pro- ceed with it. He then settled the fines with the recorder which by order of tn, council were reduced to minimum ot 1 $10 thus harmoniously adjusting every | tbiu~
