FIGHT ON AMONG
 BRIDGE WORKERS
ARRIVAL OF SAM PARKS IN kAN- SAS CITY AROUSES MUCH AC- TIvITY AMONG DELEGATES TO NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Kansas City. Mo, September 2O.--Sam Parks of New York arrived in this city tonight to attend the convention of the International Bridge and Structural Iron Workers which will meet here to- morrow. His arrival aroused much ac- tivity among the delegates already here, an activity which presages lively fight when the committee on credentials shall report on the convention in the morning.
 Parks is a member of local union No. of New York, which was suspended by President Buchanan after Parks re- cent imprisonment, and another local union, No. 2, was established. The ex- ecutive committee of the organization did not ratify the action of President Buchanan and Parks and his partisans assert that the action of the president is therefore null and void. The local union of which Parks was or is, mem Der in New York has sent a delegation of which Parks is member to the convention and the local union which was organized after Parks and his local union was suspended, also sent dele gation.
 President Frank Buchanan of Chicago, who is an anti-Parks man, is candi- date for reelection. H. F. Donnelly of Albany. N Y., Parks supporter, is also a candidate for president. The Parks and anti-Parks following will be manifest in every contest in the convention. The side which gains the supremacy in the seating of the contesting delegations to- morrow will probably control every inn portant action of the convention.

Florentine Goenaga, president of the high court of justice, said:
 'I maintain, because they were well medltated, the sincere opinions I express ed as a senator of the republic.

Report Current in Washington That Roosevelt May Return
 to Former Leaders
PRESENT REFEREES MAY
 BE HEAD IN NAME ONLY
Said That Combination Must be Madc With Either Vaughan or Bina- ham Factions to Make a
 Showing in Alabama.

Washington. September 20.-(Special)- A report. which has been current here for several days. and which cannot be verified, though 1t meets with consider able credence In Alabama republican po- litical circles is to the effect that Presi- dent Roosevelt through his Alabama agents is contemplating a return to the old Vaughan faction, so powerful during the days of the McKinley-Hanna regime.
 Following his succession to the presi- dency, Mr. Roosevelt turned down the Vaughan faction. then the dominant fac- tor in Alabama republlcansm. Vaughan was removed from the district attorney ship on charges of an indefinite drag net nature pertaining to his official record, though 1t was well understood that the removal was purely political, Vaughan being outspolSen for the nomination of Senator Hanna for the presidency. Shortly following this, Collector of h. ternal Revenue Bingham. the head of the anti-Vaughan faction, was also re- moved, the charge in this instance being his activity in excluding negroes from participating in republican conventions. The two ex-offlce holders represented the heads of the two republican factions and since that time they have been al lied for the common purpose of making warfare upon President Roosevelt.
 Three Referees Selected.
 Upon the removal 7-fssaughan and Bing- ham, who have since had no share-in tho. distribution of patronage, and who have 1 tt H...
 tional administration. the President sAs. l lected three referees-J. O. Thompson. who was made collector of internal rere- nue 10 succeed Bingham. foi r1er Con. gressman Aldrich and Charles H. Scott | These referees have dictated all appoint ments in the state and have been reoog- nized as the party leaders in Alabama although selected entirely independent of l the party organization and against its will.
 Head In Name Only. The consequence Is that the Roosevelt referees have found themselves at the head of the party in name only, and the union of the Vaughan and Bingham fac tions nsures beyond a doubt the over whelmlng defeat of the referees at the very first test of strength. The elimina- ton of the negro has made the distribu- tion of patronage an element of weakness rather than strength with the result that the referees have all the offices but none of the votes.
 On last Friday the referees were guests of President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. The report is that the interview was for the purpose of off-settlng anti-Roosevelt sentiment in Alabama, and trying to de- wise means to keep the referees. or In | other words. President Roosevelt. from 1 being repudiated at the polls It is said I that the referees fully realize that a com ] bination with either Vaughan or Bingham 1 will be absolutely necessary II any snow l ing at all is to be made at the next test of strength The story, therefore, is that ] overtures are being made.

counties in the southern part of Idaho voted the republican ticket practically in a body, and insured the return of a re- publican to succeed Senator Hetfield.
 The storm broke out a few weeks ago when the secretary of the treasury call ed for the resignation of John w. Gun ningham, assayer at Boise, and signi- fled its intention to appoint H. s. Wooley, who, until three months ago. was a Mormon bishop, and who, 1t is charged resigned his bishopric, know Ing that he was to be given a federal office.
 The prospective appointment of Wooley has created a factional row in the republican camp, and has according ly played into Dubois hand. An earn est protest has been forwarded to Pres ident Roosevelt against the appointment of the bishop, and many believe that the President can be induced to reconsider. especially as he issued a statement" against Shoot, before he was elected to the senate. In the same connection. strange as it may seem, this same pres- idential statement" was thought by Dubois and other democrats to be an excellent thing for the democratic party as it would probably give them the Mormon vote.
 Idaho Democrats.
 The Idaho democrats are now clam bring for the establishment of the test oath. which requires every voter to declare that he is not living in a state of polygamy and that he owed no allegiance to an ecclestcal power sup perior to the allegiance owed to the national or state government.
 The real beginning of the present Nor mon trouble is due to the undenied statement that in the last presidential campaign the heads of the Mormon church entered into an agreement with Chairman Hanna of the republican na- tional committee to deliver to the re- publican party the states of Idaho, Wyoming and Utah in return for which. it is claimed, Hanna guaranteed the op- position of the republican national or ganization to any further attempt to unseat Mormons who might be sent to Washington. Whether this agreement was made or not the Mormons carried out their part of the alleged contract, and voted the republican ticket

Posses Equal to Occasion.

The posses are composed of men well acquainted with the country in which Currey is travelling and who are equally as quick on the trigger as he or any of his gang. It is many miles from where the search is being prosecuted to the near est telegraph station, and it may be days after an encounter before anything is known of what happened.
 Currey has many friends in the country through which he Is passing and they will aid him to reach the rendezvous of his gang, where he will be safe in the fastnesses of the Bear Paw mountains from pursuit or capture. When last heard from on Saturday he was only ten miles from his destination and well mounted. As the posses only got started this noon, the chances are all in Curreys favor.

YELLOW FEVER IS
 IN RAILROAD CAMPS
CONTRACTOR LEONARD OF MEX IcAN CENTRAL R. R. STATES
 THAT SICKNESS IS IN NEARLY ALL CAMPS AND MANY DEATHS

Monterey, Mexico, September 20.-Dr. Roy Martin, quarantine inspector for the government, who recently returned from Linarez, declares that the city is dead commercially, and partly deserted on ac- count of the prevalence of yellow fever although there are less than 200 cases In Linarez. There are fully 200o persons sick with various ailments.
 Latest advices from Victoria state that but twelve cases of yellow fever exist In that city. The municipal authorities Of Victoria now feel that they have the sit uation well in hand and will shortly have stamped out the fever.
 MT. W. H. Leonard, representative Of the Bridge and Masonry Contract corps on the Monterey division of the Central railroad reports a most deplorable situa- ton among the different construction camps along the line He says that there is scarcely a camp without fever, and that there are many deaths. As these camps must be more or less centers of infection, 1t would be well to close them up until the epidemic has passed.
 Rampico is largely diminishing the num- Der of cases of yellow fever. the average number of cases weekly now being seven.
