REPUBLICAN is EXPECTING
THE DEMOCRATS TO WIN
Kellogg Feels That His Party Is Doomed in the
Coming Election

he will grow stronger every day that
the campaign progresses. He is a man
of unimpeachable character and there
is nothing in his political record upon
which to base an attack Had the
Democrats nominated Cleveland, as
some Of the independents urged, he
would have been attacked on the third
term issue and because of political
weaknesses he displayed during his
two administrations in the White
House.
Il realize" said Mr.. Kellogg. that
this does not sound very encouraging
coming from a Republican. but / am
perfectly sincere in this opinion of
Judge Parker's strength and I would
not be surprised If there should come
a Democratic landslide which would
carry with it the House Of Representa-
tives."
There are other Republicans here in
Washington who entertain oninions
similar to those freely expressed bv
Mr.. Kellogg. In discussing this sub
Ject he placed no reservation upon his
utterances but gave them with such
frankness as TO surprise those 10 vl1oi1,
he was addressing his remarks. Mr.
kellogg has anassed an independent
fortune through investments in local
real estate. and has no political ambi-
ton to crafty. His political record
need not be reviewed here. Those who
are familiar with it. regard him as a
very adroit far-seeing politician whose
Judgment has been verified in previous
national contests.
private letter has been received
here from Mayor Mcclellan OF New
York. in which he rejoices over the
nomination of Judge Parker. and pre-
diets that the Empire State will roll
up a good big majority for the Demo-
cratic ticket.
In this connection 1t is generally I'M
derstood by those who are familiar
with New York politics, that Mayor
Mcclellan viii probably be the candi-
date for Governor on the ticket with
Judge Parker. A well known New
York Republican. who holds an inn
portant position under the present adj
ministration. in Specializing upon the
probable outcome of the next election
admitted that II Mayor Mcclellan
should be the gubernatorial nominee
he would easily carry New York city
while Judge Parker. II IL conceded. is
likely 10 carry the upstate region.
Thus a combination Of Parker and Nc
Clellan would. i'm the opinion OF New
Workers generally. secure that state
for the Democrats.

Rv R. N. Larne~.

Washington, July 15.--One of the
first we'll known Republicans I met,
after returning from the st. Louis Con-
vention, was former Governor William
Pitt Kellogg, of Louisiana, who still
takes an active interest in national
politics. Upon being asked how he
regarded the nomination of Judge
Parker and his old friend. Henry G..
Davis of West Virginia. I was sur
that he anticipated a Democratic land
slide.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

Alphabetically the South Has the
Best Outlook.
New York, July 15.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Diverse movements in trade industry
and speculation give an irregular ap-
pearance to the general business stu
alton. Distributive trade and industry
are still quiet and even dull, awaiting
clearer views of the crop out-turn.
Damage to the winter wheat crop by
heavy rains. is admitted, though al
legged to be Exaggerated.
DISCRIMINATION in the meat slaugh-
tering industry has followed strike.
Which, if not settled, as now seems
likely, contains much power for evil.
All meat prices have advanced, and
cattle shipments have been checked.
Railway gross earnings for the tis-
cal year will show an increase over
the best previous years, but net results
are clearly defined. with the question
whether an increase or decrease will
be shown still in doubt. The general
undertone is one of confidence, good
results being looked for by the business
world from an expected large volume
of fall trade.
Viewed geographically, agricultural
ly the South seems to have the best
outlook, the cotton crop having pro-
crossed so far with little or no draw
backs, except the original lateness of
the spring. The outlook is for an i'm
mense cotton crop.
The Southern peach crop this year
has been enormous and has sold at
good prices.
Rather more was reported doing in
some kinds of cotton goods this week,
some heavy export orders being re-
ported at very low prices, but against
this was a report that Fall River man.

OBITUARY..
John c. Blake, Lynchbure, Va.

John c. Blake, Lynchburg, Va.
Mr.. John C. Blake died yesterday
afternoon at o'clock. The end came
in Baltimore, where he had been car
ried from Lynchburg, Va. to have an
operation performed. The burial will
be in Lynchburg.
This information was received in
Savannah last night in telegram to
Mr.. j. NJ Graham, physical director of
the Y. M. c. A. The information will
bring sorrow to a large number of
friends, for Mr.. Blake was widely
known in Savannah and popular with.
all who knew him.
A native of Lynchburg, Va, he came
to this city in the late nineties as phy-
steal director of the Y. NJ. c. A, a po-
sition that he filled with conspicuous
success until the summer Of 1902 when
he resigned that he might take up the
study of medicine. He entered the
medical department of the University
of Maryland in the fall of 1902 and in
the short time that he attended made
such brilliant progress in his studies
that at the close of the term a short
time ago, he was appointed assistant
physician in the Baltimore county Jail.
1t was while attending to the duties
of this position that Mr.. Blake was at
tackled with the disease that finally
caused his death. His desire to make
the most of the opportunity that had
been afforded him to secure experience
in his chosen profession kept him at
his post until he was forced to give up.
He then went to Lynehburg. where he
remained until a very short time ago,
when he was taken to Baltimore in
order that an operation might be per-
formed. 1t was shortly after this OPP
Grafton that the end came.
During his sickness, as during his
health. Mr.. Blake maintained the I'M
daunted determination that had al
ready advanced him so near the goal
of his ambition. He had been told by
his doctors that his case was hopeless,
yet he refused to give up, and with
death even then close to his bedside he
wrote friend in this city telling of
his doctors decision, and also of his
own determination not to give up the
fight. He even mapped out a course
of treatment for his own case. and in
it the trip to Baltimore and the opera
ton were planned as the last resort.
Not even in Mr. Blake's own city
will the news of his end cause more
genuine grief than in Savannah, and
particularly to the members of the
Y M. c. A. He had been the friend
and companion of scores of the men,
bers of that institution during his res
idence in Savannah. Their apprecia-
ton of his services was shown when
he resigned. for they then presented
him with generous purse. That they
have not forgotten him was further
shown when the news Of his death was
learned for they at once started a
movement to send to the funeral a
suitable testimonial in the form OF a
floral Offering. and this will be done,
probably to-day.

Chicago, July 15.-Joseph DeWyckoff
of Havana, Cuba, who is at the Audi

ed the contract for raising the wreck
of the battleship Maine from Havana

upon the wreck; the information being
