SENATOR SCOTS CHANCES.
No Foundation for Claims Made in Be
half of His Opponent.

News was received today at the Capitol
from West Virginia showing that. the
claims made by the friends of Mr.. J. L.
Caldwell, an aspirant for senatorial honors
to succeed Senator Scott, are without
foundation. Mr.. Caldwell has announced
his candidacy on the platform that the
southern end of the state should have
representative in the United States Senate.
No personal opposition of any kind is be-
ing made against Senator Scott, and his
course in the Senate is universally COM
mended. On this sectional issue. SO far.
Senator Scott has more than divided the
nominations already made, and this in the
extreme southern end of the state, where
Mr. Caldwell, II he Is to have any strength
at all. should have secured the entire rep
resentation.
This fall thirteen senatorial districts will
elect state senator's. and owing to the re-
districting of the state last fall in two of
these districts one of the senators each will
serve only two years. In these thirteen
districts thus far seven districts have held
conventions to nominate state senator's,
with the result that Senator Scott has four
and Mr.. Caldwell three.
Last Saturday district conventions were
held in Mingo county, one of the two demo-
cratic counties in the McDowell-Wyoming-
Weyne-Mingo district, and Senator Scott
received a decided majority of the in
structed delegates to the county conven-
ton. which meets at Williamson next Sat
urday. Mcdowell, the heavy republican
county of this district and of the state, is
solidly for Senator Scott and lacks only two
votes of controlling the nomination in that
district. This district lies adjacent to Mr..
Caldwelrs home.
Adjoining this Is the other extreme
southern end district in the state, and
Senator Scott already has a walkover there.
This district is composed of Mercer, Sum-
mers, Raleigh and Monroe. Raleigh county
has held its convention and in addition
to instructing for Senator Scott passed
series of strong resolutions disappearing
the sectional issue. Mr.. Caldwell has Sc
cured the two senators in the Kanawha-
Boone-Logan district, one of whom only
will serve four years This district is the
hotbed of the sectional issue, and no fight
for delegates was made by Senator SCOTS
friends.
With these districts disposed Of Mr. Cald-
wells boom has reached it's greatest ex-
tent, since he can expect nothing from
the northern end Of the state, which is at
every opportunity instructing for Senator
Scott. This was shown in the mass meet
Ing of Jefferson county republicans he'd
last Saturday. which instructed for Sena-
tor Scott, and the meeting of the Grant
county republicans. held last week. In the
latter county an openly avowed Scott man
was nominated for the Senate. and since
that county has been given the right to
name the candidate for that senatorial dis
trlct he will De the man nominated.

from Michigan. Graduating from the Mill
tary Academy in June, 1892. and assigned to

dian troubles at Leech Lake agency. in

A Collection Of Prehistoric Relics to Be Sent 10 ;
Museum al BROOKLYN.

Cecil A. Deane, custodian of war relies
in the state house at Denver. has re-
turned to Denver from trip to New
Mexico and Arizona. While there he
secured nearly 200 relics of the cliff and
mesa dwellers, including large number
of stone axes, hammers, arrow heads
and bone avis. In the pottery colec-
tion are bowls, cups, pitchers and jars.
On large number of the articles are
paintings Of beasts and birds that are
not now known in this country.
Mr.. Deane also came into possession
of four slabs of sandstone which are
covered with hieroglyphic and picto-
graph writings of the ancient people.
These same writings may prove to be of
great value in the future when some one
is found who will be able to decipher
them. The collection will arrive in
Denver in few days. Mr.. Deane Sc
cured these relics near Cubero in the
northwestern part of New Mexico.
One of the specimens which Mr.. Deane
secured was jar about 12 inches in
diameter and of about the same height.
1t is considered by archaeologists as a
rare specimen. The entire collection
will ultimately be sent to the Brooklyn

The Santa Fe Bridges.

The bridges over the Santa Fe river
will be placed in good condition under
the supervision of County Commissioner
Arthur Seligman. The Bridge street
piers will be practically rebuilt, the
stones at prescott Being laid in lime
which is being washed out. They will
be laid in cement. AS the distance be.
tween the piers is too great, piles will
be driven midway between them, their
foundation to be laid in cement. At the
east end, for eighteen feet beyond the
first pier, rock filling will be made so
as to break the force of the water before
it dashes against the piers. Three inch
planks will be laid for the flooring of
this bridge which will be quite sub
stantial structure when completed.
Work on this will be commenced on
Monday. The Don Gaspar avenue bridge
will be repaired temporarily by patching
up the holes both in the sidewalk and
in the roadway, until a new, substantial
steel or stone bridge is built. The upper
bridge which burned down some time
ago will be rebuilt and the work of driv
ing the piles for the foundations is to
commence in few days.

stationed every so feet, he successfully
eluded them and travelled up the road

he had battle with some deputies.
