From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Foss

Washington, March 31.-The defeat OF
Senator Jones brings no sorrow to the
democc ats here, who hope for party re-
organization. He will probably also re-
tire from membership in the democratic
national committee, of which he is chair
man, and a great scramble will come for
the vacant craftsmanship.
Senator Jones management of the 1896
campaign was not brilliant and he re-
NAMED in charge in 1900 because Bryan 6
defeat was a foregone conclusion. Nobody
cared to take place which was to be
crowned by defeat. A new national chair
man will not be chosen for some time
but Tom Taggart Of Indianapolis is the
most frequently mentioned. Several
younger democratic senators would like
the place, among them Bailey and Car
mack.
Clarke 1t Certainly Is.
Little Rock, Ark, March 31..-Returns
from the democratic primaries show that
Ex-Governor James L. Clarke has been
Endorsed for United States senator and
that Governor Davis has carried sixty five
of the Seventv-fve counties. At the
headquarters OF Senator Jones, word was

Washingt on, March 31.-The good places
in public life which President Roosevelt
has to offer Just now, to the right men are
numerous. These places are actually OF

logue sets forth, after fashion, the pres
ent needs of the administration:

dor to Italy, ambassador to Mexico, COM
missioner of immigration, first assistant
postmaster general.
Besides these there will eb minister tt
Cuba and several consuls soon to be ap-
pointed, and at least one assistant secre-
taryship in the trea sury is likely to seek
a new incumbent. One Office in the fore
going list-the first assistant postmaster
generalship-has actually been going beg
ging for over a month. The place has
been offered to two members Of the ma
tional commit tee but they have gently
put 1t away. There are plenty of men
who would take it, but not one of them
is man the president wants.

The president is a candidate for the

Enthusiastically frank manner he ha

NO FIGHTS
Gov. Van SAINT Says Finish
Affairs in Minneapolis
Must Stop.

When Governor Van SAINT learned this
morning that there had been two finish
fights In Minneapolis within the last few
weeks he declared that so far as he
could influence matters, the practice must
stop. The Minneapolis fights took place
ostensibly before clubs but in at least
one Of the affairs, the general public was
admitted at 50 head.
Governor Van SAINT has instructed the
proper officers that they must use their
best efforts to prevent such athletic
events in future. t..
Minneapolis is not the only. city where
the governor has interfered in fstic con-
tests. At the information of some law
abiding citizens of Bemidji he put the
machinery Of the lawn the way of a
prize fight at that city. He is deter
mined to prevent such occurrences.

RAIL AND LAKE
Things Done and Left I'm
done at the Conference
of Managers.

Special to The Journal.
New oYrk, March 31.-The conferences
Of Buffalo last week of the managers OF
rail and lake lines were not abrren of re-
sudts. though not as much was accom-
plished as hoped for by the former with
special reference to the matter of divi-
sions. No agreement was reached in re-
spect to that question. The lake lines are
not satisfied with the arrangements here
tofore in effect and apparently to. gov
ern this season. Of course, they can
make trouble, and should they undertake
to carry out a policy at variance with that
which insures the maintenance Of agreed
rates the result might prove serious when
the season is at its height.
An important decision was reached re-
gariing the transportation of east-bound
-four and grain products, though it is said
to have been assented to by the lake lines
with reluctance. The final outcome was
evidently a compromise. Under it the
lake differential on commodities named is
reduced from to cents. The under
standing is that the lower differential
shall Jevail only until June, when the
mat, must be taken up at another con-

WE'D SLYLY
Patrick Gets a Wife in the
Tombs Under a Pecu-
liar Law.

New York, March 31.-Albert T. Pat
rick, convicted last week of the murder of
Millionaire Rice, and now awaiting the
death sentence, and Mrs. Adaie Y. Fran
els have become husband and wife in the
matron's room of the Tombs: A pen
stroke did it, despite all measures taken
to prevent. Not until the marriage was
complete were Patrick's guards cognizant
that it was even intended. The fac! that
Commissioner of Corrections Hynes had
declared his opposition to a marriage be-
tween the prisoner and the woman who
has been so faithful to him, made the
Tombs officials more alert to prevent a
marriage in the prison. The marriage is
said to have been accomplished, however,
while the matron was present, though she
was so occupied that she was unaware
what was going on.
Mrs. Francis, accompanied by her attor--
ney, her sister and Patrick's father called
at the Tombs and asked for a conference
with the prisoner. He was escorted TO
the matrOn's room and after few mo-
ments the guard is saiG to have stepped
outside. 1t is said the wedding contracts
were then signed by Patrick and Mrs.
Francis in duplicate. Under a new law
this form of marriage is lawful when the
signing of the contract is witnessed by
two persons. To perfect the ceremony 1t
is only necessary to file a copy Of the
contract with magistrate within six
months
Samuel B. Thomas. attorney for Mrs.
Francis, made the following statement to-
day: ~.
AS counsel of Mrs. Francis advised her
that the contract marriage was absolutely
valid and binding. Mrs. Francis had been
engaged TO Mr.. Patrick since 1898. 1t was
their intention to be married on the day Of
Patrick's acquittal. They were married prop
erly and legally, and as his wife Mrs. Addie
Francis Patrick can visit him when he is
confined in the death house, which would
have been denied her otherwise.

Washington, March 31.-Speaker Hen
derson will not visit his district until
congress adjourns. While he does not at
tempt to minimize the Importance of the
candidacy of Senator Courtw right of Wa
terloo, he is confident, owing to advices
received from friends in the district, that
his own denomination is not seriously
menaced.
The speakers friends concede that Sen
ator Cartwright will carry Blackhawk
and Wright counties. but insist that the
speaker will carry the other seven coun-
ties of the district. The aspect of the
opposition which seems serious to them
is the fact that after twenty years serv-
ice in the house enough hostile senti-
ment could soring up in any part of the
district to warrant an opposing candidate
to come out coenly and announce his in
tentiOn to ask for the nomination. If
Colonel eHndersOn were not speaker, Sen
ator CourtWright's candidacy would not
appear strange.
Some of the speakers friends regard
the affair as ominous. They predict that
it is the beginning of an 1nsurrection
against the speaker which will continue
until he is relocated to private life. He
is out of touch with his district, fact
which is due to his elevation to the high
est place in the organization of the house
of representatives. =
Mr.. Henderson's attitude upon tariff re-
vision is completely at variance with the
attitude Of his constituents. This his
most intimate friends in Washington
acknowledge. They say that the elector-
ate Of Iowa, especially the republican
part of it, has become very insistent for
tariff reform and that sooner or later the
congressional districts of the state viii
| send to Washington men who will be in
! harmony with the IDEAS Of the voters.

said:
The report covered the result of the com

fault with the pension laws as they now exist.
Their objections were confined solely to the
manner in which the laws have been con-
strued and administered by the pension
bureau. desire for change in the Office
Of commissioner of pensions has been stead
lily growing for more than two years past
until, at the present time, it is almost uni
versal SO far as the surviving soldiers of tho
war for the preservation of the union
concerned. This feeling has been shared by
conservative Grand Army men ell over the
country, for they believe, and with good cause,
that great injustice has been done to many
deserving and worthy claimants for pensions.
Many OF those who now applying for
pensions have record Of long continued and
efficient service in behalf of their country an
well as a long and honorable record as civil
ians. They gave their best energies with
patriotic devotion to their country and now,
after lapse Of almost forty years since the
war, they are compelled by the infirmities OF
age to seek relief at the hands of the gov
eminent; and because they have no hospital
record and have failed to ask aid of the gov
eminent at an earlier period, they are looked
upon with distrust and their applications are
| subjected to the strictest scrutiny and evf-
dence both as to quality and quantity Of their
service Is exacted beyond a reasonable de-
! gree, the result, in many cases, being denial
of Justice.
! Veterans Ask Simple Justice.
| All the veteran soldier OF the union desires
is that the laws be Justly and fairly admin

[ rnent, and that all who entitled to receive
| their benefits shall enjoy them without
! diminuton or unreasonable OF vexatious de-
I lays, and that every unworthy claim shall bs
rejected and every fraudulent pensioner
stricken from the rolls.
The atmosphere Of the pension bureau has
| been such as to create an impression that 4
great many frauds are attempted to be per-
petrated the government by the Old
soldiers, but it Is worthy Of notice that &C
cording to tho last report of the commissioner
Of pensions, there were. out of 15s persons

year but ten soldiers Of the civil war, OF

Of the convictions were for ofenses against
