Many AspIre 70 congress
speclal to the Euenlnr Ionrnn.

Special 10 tho Evening Journal.
Dover, Sept. 6.--The interest over the
nomination of a Democratic congress-
man has become an important topic
for conversation throughout lowei
Delaware and the senatorial situation
is a secondary matter. The placing OF
two Republicans in the field by the two
Republican factions, and the fact that
50 many Democrats are named for the
candidate, has caused things to
reach a lively point at this time.
In Sussex county. Edward ID. Hearn,
county chairman, is said to have set up
thirty-one delegates who can win the
primary fights. This would give him
over majority OF the Sussex delega-
ton, should there be a caucus. It is
not likely, however that the Sussex
delegates will have a caucus, as those
who are not in favor Of Hearn are
anxious to take their chances on the
convention floor.
In Kent county there may be three
candidates, DR.. 10. w. Cooper, John F.
Salisbury and Alexander M DAILY. Dr.
Cooper was nominated on the floor OF
the convention two years ago. New
Castle county may, therefore, be the
only county TO caucus on representa-
tive. and If L. Irving Handy is nomi-
mated he will have a strong lighting
chance with the other nominees.
Mr.. DAILY has not announced himself
as q candidate. but the nomination
may be offered him because Of the
close run he made two years ago. Mr.
Daily would not allow a delegate TO be
elected for him until the candidacy Of
Iampq I Ross Of Gueqax county was
announced. A friend of Mr.. Dalys said
today: "Mr. DAILY is not travelling with
cannot be beaten except by Handy"

When Two Men Beside Him
We're Killed
DESCRIBES TROLLEY ACCIDENT

Washington, Sept 6-Smilingly bow
ing in acknowledgment OF the enthusi-
astic and prolonged cheering of an as
semblage that fairly crowded the Bal
timore and Ohio station here, President
Roosevelt last night began his south
ern tour, with Chattanooga, Tenn, as
the objective point. The president ap-
peared a little disfgured as a result Of
the Pittsheld accident but apparently
had quite recovered from the shock. He
stopped to shake hands with those who
pressed about him and congratulated
him on his escape.
The special train of seven handsome
ly equipped coaches was in readiness,
and the president Immediately entered
his car, merely lifting his hat in re-
sponse to the greeting from the crowd.
He spent most OF the time between
then and his departure in conversation
with Civil Service Commissioner Gar
field and with others who entered the
car to meet him. To a number he de-
scribed the accident at Pittsfeld. He
said it wGs not the first time he had
had so providential an escape, and re-
ferred to an incident in the battle Of
San Juan. when gunshots struck down
two men close beside him. The presi-
dent tod the Pittsfield story to the
group in the car with feeling and en-
phasized it with gestures. He said he
felt in normal condition again.
The train was just two minutes late
when II pulled out at 7.32. 1t was in
charge Of Pullman Conductor w. NJ.
Johnson, who has been assigned to the
presidential specials for a long time
past. The personnel of the presidents
party IS the same as that on his New
England trip, except for the addition
of S. Z. Hege the general agent of the
Baltimore and Ohio, and Colonel L. S.
Brown, the general agent of the South
ern Railway. The president took din
ner on the train shortly before his
departure.
The eoutnern trip will be a somewhat
hurried one, and 10 stops will be made
at points other ,han those announced
in the itinerary already published.
namely, Wheeling, w. Va; Chattanoo-
ga, Knoxville, Tenn, and Asheville, n.
c. The immediate object OF the presi-
dent is to attend the convention of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen,
in whose work he has always shown a
deep interest The train will reach
Chattanooga at $50 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Sunday will be spent at
Chattanooga quietly and without public
program. The party will visit the bat
tie grounds during the day. and the
president will attend church in the
evening. He will attend the firemen's
convention on Monday morning. The
president and party will reach Wash
ington on the return trip over the
Southern Railway at 6.3O o'clock on the
morning of September 10, and will
leave half an hour later in a private
car attached to a regular train over the
Pennsylyania~Railroad for Jersey City
en- route to Oyster Bay.

GENERAL INCREASE NOT PROPOSED
Mr.. SOhaiiy Says Reduction in Rebates
Affects Only Few Subscribers

Concerning the Delaware and Atlantic
Telegraph and Telephone Companys IN
crease In the business telephone rates. j.
II. Mehaifey, manager Of the local office.
said yesterday afternoon.
The statements made at the meeting
OF the Board OF Trade were rather mis-
leading. We are not proposing "a general
increase 10 our subscribers and not even
a general Increase 10 all our business sub
scribers
The reduction IN rebate Affects a com
paratiNcly small number OF our 1900 sta -
tions. None OF our measured service sub
scribers are affected. Nearly all or those
ofrected have had the matter explained by
me, and with very few exceptions. have
understood that the reduction I'm rebate
was warranted by the conditions.
As 60 Mr. Mullen's fear that another re-
duction IN rebate might be made a year
from now, / can only say, as / have al
ready stated TO Mr.. Mullen, that any slab-
scriber may enter into a three or five-
years contract thereby guaranteeing nc
further reduction In rebate"

ANOTHER CHANGE In
DELAWARE HOSPITAL

Since the resignation OF Miss VIII
son, the superintendent, and her assist
ants, Miss Reifsnyder and Miss Con-
nell, from the Delaware Hospital staff,
une management has had much trouble
trying to get the hospital back into the
old routine So far all efforts tending
toward this end have been unsuccess-
full
The places of the two nurses were
filled, but in a short time there was
dissatisfaction among the nurses. They
claimed Miss Ada Shaw, the assistant
superintendent, tried to take privileges
and liberties away from them.
One of tine objections made to her
was that she deprived the nurses OF
their afternoon of. AS a result, Miss
Paxton, Miss Sands and Miss Finley
struck, and left the institution. 1t was
said at the time that similar erupuons
had been narrowly averted several
times before. A short time after the
nurses left, Miss Sands was taken
back. The other are still out.
Now Miss Shaw has resigned, the
resignation to go into effect at once.
Miss Margaret Donegan is filling Miss
Shaw's place until the vacancy is fill
ed. The management win try to do
this in few days.

Special to The Evening Journal.


Ceoi gesown, Sept. c.--The political
situation ia Sussex county Just at pres
ent is onigmatical. The Unions have
gone ahead and nominated full coun-
ty ticket. In doing so. they placed two
Regular Republicans on it This was
done without consulting the wishes OF
the Regular organizations and with
our any assurance that the remainder
OF the ticket would be endorsed. In
other HCids II was an cx.erimenL
IL is almost needless 10 say that the
Regulars do not view this with favor.
They claim that If the Union Republi-
cans had wished to give the Regulars
representation on the ticket, they
should also have been willing to leave
the selection OF these men to the Regu-
lars.
The Regular organization has taken
no action whatever since the Union
convention. but is resting on its
oars and awaiting Developments. The
general impression seems TO be that
they will hardly tun down the Rae,l-
lars already nominated. but as to the
remainder of the ticket they may put
up opposition candidates. In case this
Is done. IL is claimed that the Unions
will cut the two Regulars they have
named and cause their defeat. The
more oDtimistic leaders OF the Union
Republican party claim that they can
carry the county without the help of
the Regulars. but of course this is i'm
posssible.
