WANT ROOSEVELT AGAIN.
Prominent New York Republicans
Held an Important Conference
Yesterday.

New York, September 1S.-There was
a conference of prominent New York
state republicans today and at it's close
United States Senator Platt gave out
as the chief result of the meeting this
statement:
1T was decided to endorse Mr.. Roose-
Welt and his administration and as far
as it is in our power to endorse him for
1904
Senator Platt said that no other sub
ject was discussed at the meeting. He
admitted that there had been some op-
position to the resolution proposing the
endorsement, but the opposition was in
the minority and the final decision was
practically unanimous.
The endorsement of President Roose-
velt," said George w. Dunn, chairman
nf the republican state committee, was
gone over extensively. 1t was the
unanimous opinion that it was not only
wise to endorse the administration of
Mr.. Roosevelt's, but to endorse him for
l9O4''
Colonel Dunn said that the compost
ton of the state ticket had not come be-
fore the conference.
Nobody would tell what, if anything,
had been decided about the platform.
Mr.. Platt and Colonel Dunn said the
question Of an antitrust plank was not
discussed at the meeting to be held
prior to the convention, but that the
platform itself will be framed in con-
vention.

ONE GUSHEf. STILL BURNING.
Further Report of the Oil Field
Fire-Only One Fatility.

Beaumont, Texas, September l3.-To-
night one large oil gusher in the burn
ed oil field area is still in flames. The
efforts made this afternoon were not
successful in eXtinguishing it, but more
boilers have been sent for and the plan
of smothering it with steam will again
be tried.
The small tank burned itself out this
afternoon and the big one will probably
die out by morning. Many of the COM
panies lost their pumping plants and
have wired for new machinery and
these will be installed as soon as possl-
BILE.
An examination leads to tha belief
that none of the wells have been ler-
manently injured.
There is a new problem to be con-
fronted, as soon as the gusher is eN-
tinguished, and that is the control OF
the we'll. The gate valves have been
melted off and while 1t is probable thd
this can be replaced by workmen in
diving suits, it is still a problem that
may be hard one.
Estimates of the damage still vary
but there is general acceptance of about
S100, 900 as the figure that will cover the
loss The first fatality of the fire oc-
Cured this morning when B. L. May, q
laborer, was killed by block falling
from the top of a derrick.

Cleveland. o., September l3--The
Leader today says:
"A financial alliance has been formed
by the two great factors i'm the east

est and those OF the Pennsylvania sys-
TENS. The working agreement has been
closed in the past but IL has never
come TO an allotment OF territory and
division of property between big roads
such as the new arrangements entails.
The combination grew out Of 4 COM
petitiye movement OF several months
ago. The two big interests were mu-
tually interested in the bituminous coal
fields and in the anthracite coal fields
as we'll. The Pennsylvania system pre-
dominated in the former and the Van
derbilt in the latter. By an understand
ing the Vanderbilts yielded the soft
coal fields to the Pennsylvania in re-
turn for similar concession on the
hard coal from the Pennsylvania.
The combination OF these roads
makes the biggest deal that has ever
been seen. The organization promises
to be the most domineering that has
ever been formed. The aim OF IL is to
absolutely control the transportation
faciHfies in the territory between Chi
cage and st. Louis, the great Lakes
and the Ohio river and the Canadian
boundary and the Potomac River.

control the coal mines, many OF the
steel mills and all of the elevators for

London. Sept. 13.-With the arrival
at Balmoral his majesty's conveles-
Cence is officially declared to be COM
plete. The fact that the king has al
ready indulged in deer stalking and is
now busy with grouse driving, coupled
with the departure of the queen for
Copen Hagen, next week. indicates the
confidence of those in attendance upon
him that his health is fully restored.
Indeed, the king is enjoying better
health than for years. The yachting
tour of their majesties around the En-
glish and Scotch coasts was a lazy
drifting cruise, stopping at many spots
hitherto unvisited By them. Their re-
ception everywhere demonstrated their
personal popularity.
London is even moro deserted than
usual this season. The American exo-
dus which has been in progress since
the coronation reached the maximum
this week. Witt the steamer St. Paul
Kucania and Minnihdhl sailing from
English ports today, the Bremen from
and the Latouraine from Havre,is by far

any day this year sailed from Europe

1um. mapy American paying $325 for a

Mrs. George CORVALLIS West. who
was formerly Lady Randolph Church
. i'll, has been comparing American and
English society and has come to the
conclusion that the American in
vasion" has worked something of a
resolution in th> social sphere, and i'll
dress. Socially, she thinks the Ameri-
cans have mads: English society more
exclusive than 1t was formerly. She
says the Americans have spant vasi
sums IN entertaining and living on a
scale of magnificance almost unknown
before This has led the English ar
biterS of fashion to adOpt Americas
lavish ways, until only a few of the
wealthiest social Leaders are able 10
keep up with the American pace AS
a result many of them, are unable to
longer participate in the grander func-
tions. and the effect on society, Il
whole, is towards eXcluSIyenn$;S. Mrs
West maintains that English women
have a much greater opportunity than
their American sisters to engage i'll
public and political affairs. The En-
glish woman occupies nearly all neT
working hours with meetings and func-
tionS of various kinds many of them
OF a semi-public nature. In politics,
the influence of English women is di-
rect, whereas it is so limited among
American women as Il ne inappro-
ciable
In regard to dress. Mrs. West says.
The American women have not been
content with spending large sums on
their clothes, but have introduced 50
much art il fit, color and design that
American make is now accepted as a
guaranty of excellence
