THE ONLY HOPE FOR OFFICE

Washington, Oct. H.-(Special.) )-The presence Tn Washington within the past rev days of several Federal patronage referees has elicited statement from the White House, through Secretary Loeb. that this means the referee business has plenipotentiary power and nobody need ask for office or hope to be retained un- less with their indorsement. .
 Among the accredited referees who have been here this week are United States M4rshall Edgar s. Wilson of Mississippi, and Chas. H. Scott of Alabama. Secre- tary Loeb makes it appear that MT. Roosevelt is deeply tickled over the ap- probation with which he judges his ap- pointments have been met in the South.
 The Evening Star. administration pa- Der. says today: Recently recommenda- tions have been coming to the President from independent sources in the South and intimations have been made that the President was dissatisfied with those to whom he had to look for advice in the matter of appointments" So the state ment was given out to show that all was harmonious and serene between the President and his referee disciples in the Southern wilderness.

The available fighting force on the Federal side, he said was about 100000 or 1900 900 or about 60 or 65 per cent of the enlisted strength. He asserted that the Confederates did not number over one-half as many. or perhaps much less than one-half; but that owing to their railroads, interior lines and defensive ad- vantages, the Confederates were able to bring equal, or nearly equal forces into battle In the great engagements of the war.
 General Thurston asserted that the cen- suses of 1880 and 1890 showed that the Confederates must have had an available force of 6OO.OOO. and an enrolment of about 100000 soldiers

The President is Very Much In-
 terested in the Election.
 Washington, Oct. A.-(Special. )-Presi- dent Roosevelt is taking the extremest interest in the coming Maryland election. He has had come to see him by sum- mons within the last few days nearly ev- cry prominent Maryland Republican. He Is particularly wrought up over the race issue raised by the Democrats, and it is plain that consonant with his past pol- icy he is eager to do something to help the negro, whose political liberty he sees mperiled by the possible success of the Maryland Democrats.
 Senator McCommas, after some delay in 2 VI, tB there. was at the whita House sodaf and upon him Mir. Roosevelt earn estly urged, as he did numerous others from the State, to get together, stop bick- ering and go to work for their ticket. The point is pressed that the success of the Democrats with such an issue as they have raised of the race question means a permanency of power in the State by the elimination of the negro vote as has been done by recently adopted constitu- tions in the Southern States.
 The selection of former Governor Lowndes as Roosevelts running mate de- bends, 1t is said, upon what kind of show ing the Republicans make in the Mary land election.

The Jury in the Tillmau Case Ars
 Locked Up, 70


 Lexington, s. C., Oct. H.-The closing arguments in the case of J. H. Tilman were made today and at 1:42 p. m. Judge Gary gave the case to the jury.
 When Judge Gary left the Court House at o'clock there had been no report from the jury room and the court in- structed the sheriff that should the jury desire to communicate with him during the night he would receive them.
 Tn his charge to the jury this after noon in the Tillman case, Judge Gary, after defining murder and the different degrees of homicide, charged the jury that a plea of self-defense having been set up. the jury must be satisfied by pre- ponderance of evidence that the defend- ant was without fault in bringing on the difficulty; that he believed he was at the time in danger of receiving serious bodily harm, or losing his life, and that a reasonable man of ordinary firmness, courage, prudence and reason would have reached the same conclusion.

Military Activity.

 Port Arthur, Tuesday, Oct. 13.--The re. view by the viceroy, Admiral Alexieff, on Sunday, of 76,000 soldiers, participat- Ing the maneuvers. was the final act of last weeks war game. This force was massed on the plains outside this city. It included infantry. cavalry and artil- lery. Every infantry regiment is partly mounted in accordance with the recent regulations Foreigners were given every opportunity to witness the display. and the statement of officers regarding the total force were verified by the count of the visiting experts. IL was also ofhcial- ly announced that the entire force with in easy operating distance of Fort Ar thur numbers 100000 men. Two months ago 1t was 60.000 men.
 Sundays spectacle demonstrated that the reports regarding endorsements arr irving in Manchuria have underestimate ed the real increase. The army assem- bled Sunday was greater than the Pelxiu diplomatists believed Russia's force in Manchuria to be. Officials here are tak- ing pains to advertise Russia's strength and proclaim that the manenvers are intended as an object lesson. Admiral Alexieff, speaking to an American officer. said: War would be great calamity. Here we believe that the best way to prevent 1t would be to strengthen ourselves as much as possi- bie. Therefore. we. have left no steps untaken for that purpose" The details of the maneuvers were kept secret, but the seorrespandent of tsthe l Associated Press learns that the l4nd- ing forces at Taiienwsn bay were re- pulsed. It is reported that the attack ing army broke through Port Arthur | defenses at the three points. | Two battleships and two cruisers are on their way here from Russia. When they arrive Russia's naval force on this station will be stronger than Japan's, according to the views of the Russian | officers.
 Anticipation of war Is at fever heat l in the army and navy, but this Is based | entirely on the activity of the prepara- tions visible everywhere. The higher of | fcials believe that Japan has been over- awed by the demonstration of Russia's power. No steps toward the evacuation of Manchuria have been taken. The official journal. the editor of which is colo mel on the viceroy's staff says none will be taken.
 The Governors of East Siberia are here consulting with the viceroy for the purpose of arranging new division of territory beyond the Amur into three provinces

The Fractional Democratic Fight in
 Brooklyn Will Continue.
 New York, Oct M.-AIi other features of the political campaign were overshad- owed in interest today by the almost posi- tive assurance that the factional Demo cratic fight in Brooklyn will be continued and that peace between the Mclaughlin faction and Tammany Hall is as far dis tant as ever. This was made apparent when Colonel Mcclellan declinad an in- vitation to attend the Brooklyn ratifica- ton meeting unless the full Democratic ticket was endorsed, and when Senator McCarren called at Tammany headquar- ters to express his approval to McClel- lan's course. A bitter struggle for su- premacy Is predicted at the approaching meeting of the Brooklyn County Com mittee, called at the instance of McCar- ron. Tammany Hall held an enthusiastic ratification meeting tonight, at which the Brooklyn delegates were not present. Ap- peals for campaign funds were s;nt out today by the Iitizens' Union and Repub- Iican organisations

THE KINDNESS OF DISEASE.

With our forefathers disease was
an evil influence. We should no Ion
ger look at it in that way-at least,
so we are assured in a recent address
by Sir Frederick Treves, an English
physician. To the modern expert,
he says, disease is merely the out
come of natural processes, whose
purpose at bottom is a kindly or
benefcent one. It's symptoms are
merely Expressions of natural eff
fort toward cure" They are mot
malign in intent, but have for their
End the Kidding Of the body Of the
very troubles which they are sup
posed to represent" After all, how
ever, this view is not so very new.
Even in the middle ages wise men
talked of the "curative force of ma
ture," and in this phrase lies the
truth on which Sir Frederick has
based his lecture. Still it is fire.
luently forgotten that nature means
we'll by us, and it is good thing
20 be once in awhile reminded of it.

variety stars Win rifles.

The number of variety dancers
and singers in Germany who get
notable husbands-notable, that is
to say, as regards titles and riches
is rapidly increasing. An inquiring
statistician has ascertained that 60
per cent of German variety actresses
who marry win husbands in far bet
ter social position than their birth
and training would have led them to
expect, and 20 per cent wed men of
title. At the present time thirty
eight counts have wives who were
comedy actresses or dancers. A
Prussian prince (Adalbert) is NOR
ganatically married to Therese Els
stair and Prince Phillip of Hanan
to Albertine Staber. Among other
bearers of proud names who have
recently married stage women are
Duke Ernest Of Wurttemberg, Prince
Sulkowsky, Prince Paul Of Thurn
and Taxis and Count Schafranch.
Every year the number of such mar
riages increases.
