he replied:
THE state convention will certainly
indorse his administration, but | can
not say that the convention will pledge
the support Of the state to the presi-
dent in advance of the nomination, as
there is no precedent for such a course
in this state. i don't know whether
the president wants such an indorse-
ment. I had a talk with him recently,
and he did not mention the subject. l
will say this, however, ! think the pres
ident deserves the nomination."

VESSELS ON THE WAY.
5attleships Wisconsin and Cruiser
Cincinnati Leaves for Panama.

Washington, Sept. 15.-The navy
department a been advised
that the two warships ordered
to the scene Of trouble on the Isthmus
OF Panama had sailed for their destina-
ton. A telegram was received from
Rear Admiral Casey, commanding the
Pacific station, stating that the big
battleship Wisconsin had left Bremen
ton today and after taking on coal at
San Francisco will resume her long
voyage down the Pacific coast.
With the same promptness which
characterized his prompt hurrying to
the scene Of the terrible disaster at
Martinique. Commander L. G. Nc
Lean. with the Cincinnati. had started
for Colon within a few hours after re-
ceipt OF the navy departments orders,
and cabled Secretary Moody to that
effect this morning.
Efforts Are None Too Early.
AS a further indication the vigorous
efforts of the navy department to re-
lieve the situation on the isthmuS are
none too early, the following cable
gram was received from Commander
Potter, who with his small %gunboat,
the Ranger, has for the present the en-
tire situation to look after:
Panama received a cipher dispatch this
morning saying the revolutionists are near
the railroad line. The situation Is seri-
Gus. Transit across the isthmus is still
open"
In view OF reports that political sig
nificance attaches to this latest dispatch
of a naval force to the Isthmus of
Panama a statement was got today
from a high and unquestionable Of
fetal source to the effect hat protec-
ton Of American interests and enforce
ment OF treaty guarantees are only two
of the considerations involved in send
ing additional war ships to Panama and
Colon. 1t was pointed out hat the pc
culiar circumstances made necessary
dispatch of a force more formidable
than the occasion really warrants. The
Ranger, at Panama, has a complement
OF only 1873 men.
Greater Force Than Needed.
There was no other vessel available
on the Pacific coast save the battleship
Wisconsin, so that while it was like
sending a man to perform a boys work,
navy department had no alterna-
tive. Moreover, 1t is learned that the
department has decided not to END the
Panther, with a battalion of marines,
to the isthmus unless Commander Nc
Lean, upon arrival of the Cincinnati at
Colon, informs the department that
men are needed. In the meantime the
will be equipped and provis-
oned and the ship is ED in readiness
for immediate departure for Colon.
Rear Admiral Silas Casey, command
er-in-chief of the Pacific station, will
go down to Panama aboard the Wiscon-
and AXE personal command Of the
naval forces upon his arrival there.

about to be batted by political econ

found a more attractive field. In one

baseball teams played matches, and a
