any, Of the national guard organiza-
tons OF the various states will par
ticipate in the proposed extensive
maneuvers Of the regular army at
Fort Riley, Kan, the latter part OF
September. Early in July Adjt. Gen.
Corbin addressed letter to the gov.
ernors Of the various states and ter
ritories calling attention to the pro-
posed maneuvers and suggesting the
desirability Of the participation
therein Of the national guard. A
large number Of replies have been
received already, but in no single in.
stance has there been q positive &C.
ceptance to participate. Montana
and Nebraska said that the governors
were absent and that no formal &C.
ton had been taken on the invita-
ton. The governor Of Iowa said
that the matter was still under con.
sideration by the state authorities.
Positive declarations to attend
were received from the governors Of
the following states: Vermont, New
Jersey, Alabama, Illinois, Georgia,
New Hampshire, Indiana, Louisiana,
Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine,
Michigan, Maryland, Rhode Island,
Arizona, Washington, North Dakota,
Wyoming, Idaho, New Mexico and
South Dakota, the reason in each
case being stated as lack Of funds.
Although they will not be repre-.
sented by bodies Of troops, the fol-
lowing named states will be repre-.
sented at the coming maneuvers BY
officers, generally the adjutant gen.
eral: Vermont, New Jersey, Indi-
ana, Louisiana, Kansas, Missouri,
Maine, Michigan, Maryland, Arizona,
Idaho, New Mexico, North Dakota,
Pennsylvania and Connecticut. All

INSTRUCTED THE TRACK.
Five Men Who Wanted to Stop Trolley
Car at Flag Station Caused
Wreck.

Rochester, n Y, July 2s.-An at
tempt by five men to wreck an in
coming trolley car at the Rifle
range, short distance north of this
city, late last night, resulted in q
rear-end collision in which seven pas
sengers were seriously and several
others slightly injured and two
more narrowly escaped.
Shortly before ten o'clock car 457
left Summerville, on Lake Ontario,
bound for the city, heavily laden
with passengers, with orders not to
stop at the Rifle range, which is q
flag station only. As the car ap-
preached this point the motorman
discovered an obstruction on the
track and brought his car to q stop
Just in the nick Of time. The OBJ
struction, which consisted of sew
eral lengths Of picket fencing and
other material, had been placed on
the track by five men under the in
fuence Of liquor, because, as they
said they had attempted to flag
other inbound cars without success
and determined to make sure of the
next attempt. While the crew was
trying to clear the track in order
to proceed car asa, also inbound, came
along at q rapid speed and crushed
into the rear Of the car ahead. The
vestibules on both cars were smashed
and their interiors were wrecked.
Most Of the injured were caught In
the wrecked vestibules and between
broken car seats.

BARrH0LDT'S BELIEF
The Congressman Thinks Repub-
licans Will Get Missouri.
POLITICAL SITUATION IN The STATE.
President Roosevelt Making Many Friends
In tho State BY His Administration,
Even Among the Democrats, the st.
Louis Congressman Says.

Washington, July 29.-Richard
Bartholdt, who represents the Tenth
Missouri district in congress, has pre-
pared for consumption in eastern re.
publican circles an interview which
was passed around yesterday. The
st. Louis congressman Is authority
for the statement that the republic
ans are going to increase their rep
resentation in the lower house from
Missouri and send successor to Vest
to the senate. The adoption of a
sixteen to one" declaration by the
st. Joseph convention, according to
Representative Bartholdt, will drive
the entire German vote from the
democratic party and has disguised
the conservative democrats all over
the state.
"Another source of opposition to
the democratic party in Missouri is
the fact that the entire police and
license power of the state Is in the
hands of the partisan democratic
ring, which does not administer the
laws in satisfactory way. On top
Of all is the objection to the indorse-
ment OF William j. Stone, the demo-
cratic choice for senator to succeed
Mr.. Vest. Mr.. Stone Is looked upon
by conservative men Of the party as
too radical. All of these reasons
are likely to help the republicans i'm
mensely in the elections, and the
principal opposition will be shown
in the voting for members Of the
legislature.
"The republicans are going to be
greatly benefited by the wise admin
lstration of President Roosevelt. He
has host Of warm friends in the
state, even in the democratic ranks,
and the people as a whole are with
him. They believe in his earnestness,
his ability and his progressiveness.
They particularly admire his position
~ to Cuban reciprocity and as to
control of the trusts. The democrats
Is Missouri and elsewhere are try
Ing to make an issue Of the trust
question, on the ground that there
Is no sincerity of purpose on the
part of republicans, and the presi-
dent himself is unable to accomplish
anything along this line with re-
publican congress. This argument
will not make q vote in Missouri.
The people have confidence in the
announcement Of the president that
he 10 going to devote as much effort
as possible to the placing Of anti
trust legislation on the statute
books.
1.-THE republicans Of Missouri are
practically unanimous for the NOM
nation Of Theodore Roosevelt in
1904 to succeed himself and will send
delegation to the next republican
national convention pledged for him."
