SURPRISE IN. WASHINGTON.
Henderson's Action the Cause for
 Much Regret by His Friends.

Washington. Sept. 16.-The despatch an- nouncing Speaker Headersons declina- ton of the Congressional nomination caused sensation in Washington. Very few public men are in Washington at this time, but all who are here expressed re- g.et for the Speakers course.
 The causes leading up to his decision were perhaps as much matter of com ment as the refusal to stand for re- electon.
 Public men acknowledge there is q demand in sections of the West and Northwest for a revision of the tariit along certain lines. notably in the cases of articles whose manufacture is controlle by the trusts. Their opinion is that Gen crai Henderson's decision will make this issue more acute and suggests that the President is conferring at this time with leading Senators from the East and W est, presumably on the very question which mas forced General Henderson out of line with his party in Iowa. The Speaker always has been q straight out Repu5i- can on tariff matters and at the last ses- sion of Congress the general understand ing was that he opposed the suggestions advanced for tariff revision along certain lines on articles controlled by the trusts.
 General Henderson already had entered into the coming campaign ana II IS stateu here that both Governor Cummings and Senator Deliver. each of whom are said to be in favor of tariff revision, were to have stumped the district for him. The Iowa Republican State Convention held in the latter paIS--of July took strong grounds on the question of the reduction of the tariff on goods whose production in this country Is controlled by trusts. making the following declaration on that subject.

Cullman Sept 6.-(SpeciaD-Little in- terest was taken in the primary yester- day for Attorney General. An election was held in only two precincts. Hanceville and Cullman. Court being in session vot- CTS from all parts of the county were al- lowed to vote in this box. Wilson re- ceived most of the votes. The Garber men seemed to think 1t useless to vote. There is some talk that owing to the fact that the election in this beat was not held legally this box might be thrown out. The election was held in the Circuit Clerks reom where everybody had ac- cess ana as many voted at a time as desired.

Troy. Sept. -(Special.)-The second primary election in this County passed off quietly. About half of the voting strength was boiled. Five or six voting places have not yet been heard from and the total vote for the respective candi- dates can not be ascertained Wilson s majority over Garber is now about 200 and will probably he about 300 when the returns are all in. Edwards is nominated for the Legislature over Wilks by a large majority. It is generally conceded that Hollan has been nominated over Harris for Superintendent of Education by a ma jority of 50 or 50 votes Putnam is nominated for the office of County Com missioner in the third district and Well don Commissioner in the fourth district

BUTLER.

Greenville, Sept 16-(Special)- lowing to the fact that a general County pri- mary election will take place in this County on the first of October, the State primary fc- Attorney General yesterday created no excitement or enthusiasm whatever and the vote was the lightest Tn the history of the County. At this box only 139 votes were polled. Wilson received 70 to 69 for Garber.
 The total vote in the County will not probably reach 600. So far as heard from Garbcr is leading in the County by a very small majority. He will not carry the County by anything like the vote in the first primary. Only half of the beats have been heard from and Garber leads by about 2O. It is not probable that the other beats will make any considerable change.

LEOPOLD NOT COMING.
The KAng Will Not Visit America
 This Yccr.


 London, Sept. 16--In a telegram to the Associa10d Press in reply to an inquiry forwarded Sunday, King Leopold of Bel gium himself dsposes of all the posi- tive announcements and deniais regard ing his visit to the United States. ThrougA his aide-de-camp. Lieutenant Binje. hc sent the following message to- day:
 ITO the Associated Press, ( London. Bagneres de Isuchon. France. The King, while faaly appreciatng the interest ex- pressed by the Associated Press. is really unable to say whether 1t will be possible for him to undertake any travels next year."
 The King has been absent from Bag heres de Luohon on excursions hence the delay ia his reply. In court circles at BrusselA it is s,it that while King Leopold has lost none of his old time desire to visit the United States, he con- sders it advisable to keep in complete touch with all state affairs. If he visited the United States he would have to be absent from his Kingdom for several months and 1t would consequently be dif- ficult to undertake the desired tour while at present the condition Of Queen Hen rietta is an Additional bar to his plans.

Little Rock Police Thought They Had
 the Man.

Little Rock, Ark. Sept. 16.-For three hours today 1t was thought that Charles F. Kelly. wanted in St. Louis in the bood- ling cases. was in hiding in Little Rock and the entire police force was on the lookout for him.
 Nobe Connolly, a local lawyer, wired The Post-Dispatch that he would produce Kelly for $50. Through that paper the police here were notified and Connolly was shadowed. When man answering Kellys description except as to age joined Connolly. both were taken in cus- tody and carried to police headquarters. The suspect proved an alibi. but Connel- Iy stuck to his story that he had spent last night with Kelly, who. while drunk. told who he was and said he would re- turn to St. Louis tonight. He now claims Kelly left town this afternoon. Chief of Police McMahon does not believe Kelly has been in Little Rock.
