Roosevelt and Irrigation.

What President Roosevelt has said
and done for national irrigation, which
is the great new hope of the West, shows
clearly and conclusively that the reclama-
ton act was passed by his assistance,
when it could not have been passed with
out it. The new homes which will cover
the Western deserts, the new home mar
kets for Eastern manufacturers which
these homes will create, the new pros
perity and we'll being which national ir-
rigation is bringing to the whole country
these are the direct results of the far
sighted action Of President Roosevelt.

Eugene A. Phi1bin.

New York, Aug. 16.-Ex-District At
torney Eugene A.. Philbin, a recognized
gold Democratic leader in New York, is
out for Roosevelt. In explaining his po-
sition he said with regard to Roosevelt's
devotion to duty:
"Those who are forced to admit that
Roosevelt's course during the last three
years has been conservative insist that
this was because he was a candidate for
reelection all this time and that when
he is elected by voice of tho people he
will take a different course.
my personal acquaintance with
Roosevelt leaves me in no doubt re-
garding his attitude in that respect. He
has at all times shown a willingness to
sacrifice personal policy for the public
good and great devotion to duty. He is
also a shrewd politician, and to be that
he must be possessed with the necessary
sagacity to manage our foreign rela-
tions 50 that our interests will bs best
subserved."

New York, Aug. 17.-Oscar Strauss,
minister to Turkey under Cleveland, bolts
the Democratic ticket. In explaining this
step be says:
president Roosevelt's action In the
anthracite coal strike and in his rein
stating Miller in the government printing
office shows him to be a man whose
sense OF right, under the most trying cir
cumstances, could not be Influenced or
clouded by any considerations Of ex-
pediency, however powerful they might
be.
He has shown by these and other ex-
ecutive acts that, while he is the friend
equally Of capital and labor, he will not
permit himself to be dictated to or in
fuenced by either to the prejudice Of the
rights Of all the people,"

If you believe with Abraham Lincoln
that it is better to pay good wages to
have a ton of iron made at home, and
have both the iron and the money, than
to send the money abroad and have the
iron only, then you should vote for pro-

The canvass was concluded yester-
day, after 1O,9SS persons had explained
their preferences for presidential candi-
dates. OF the number 6,504 gave Roose-
welt as their choice, $3.50 said their bal
lots would be cast for Parker in No

There is a gain shown of 49S in the

LOSS OF THE YASHIMA
FINAL BATTLESHIP's DESTRUCTION
 IS CONFIRMED.
Japan Has Only Four Vessels of the Kind Remaining, While Russia
 Has Many MORe-OutcIassed in Cruisers.

Paris, Nov. s.-The Associated Press was put into a position today to state positively that It's dispatches from Che Foo, Port Arthur and Tokio last June to the effect that the Japanese battleship Yashima had been sunk by a mine off Dalny. which dispatches were denied by the Japanese authori- ties at the time, have finally been of- ficially confirmed.
 The Japanese Government has noti- fled foreign Governments of the loss of the ship. The number of men who went down with the vessel is not known. but Is believed to have been small.
 The loss of the Yashima has been concealed by the Japanese. though the Russian authorities have believed for some time that the reports that the battleship had been destroyed were cor rest. It is important since 1t is now disclosed that Japan has only four modern battleships remaining.
 These are the Asahi. Fu1i, Cikasa and Shikishima. Another vessel classed as a battleship Is the Chin Yen, taken from China in 1894, but she Is old and not of much fighting value. Naval ex- perts say that the small battleship force possessed by Admiral Togo was responsible for the tactics he observed at the naval battle of August 10. when Admiral withoift attempted to escape from Port Arthur, the Japanese battle

MANY YET UNDECIDED
NUMBERS OF CULTIVATED CTTI-
 ZENS' MINDS IN DOUBT.
Tendency is Toward Parker, and There is n General Feeling in the Air That q Democratic Triumph
 Is i'm Sight.

New York, Nov. 3.--(Special. )--An astonishing fact in the political situa- tion Is the number of the cultivated classes who have not yet decided how they will vote. Partisans are arrayed as a body on one side or the other. There is a known corruptible element. Independent of these. there is the very considerable number of men. especially in New York city, who are still can- wasting the pros and cons and trying to decide in the wisest and most pat rfotic way. These people in my judg- ment, are going to determine this elec- tion. And the tendency amongst them just now is toward Parker. am not saying this idly. It Is a conviction with me that between now and Novem- Der 8 a sufficient number of voters at present undecided will decide for them- selves and carry one man rather than another into the Presidential chair. The tendency is toward Parker. The tendency may take another direction by next week and Roosevelt may be elect ed. Of one thing feel perfectly sure. the Republican party Is going to get 9 humping good shake up.
 Take Indiana. It is a shame that it should be true, but 1t must be true, for I hear 1t so often from men who have lived there or who know the State. The Republicans will probably lose that State because the hundreds of thousands of dollars they have been accustomed to expend there cannot be spent there this year. The Indiana Republicans have been debauched and they like it. They want to be de- bauched again. Cortelyou has not the money that Hanna had and Hanna set such a pace that all of Cortelyou's screws put upon the protected inter ests will not bring in such huge sums as Hanna got to save the standard of value. Such confidential talk as I have been able to hear in New York points clearly to Democratic success in Indiana.
 Here in New York the great Madison Square Garden meeting instantly lifted the Democratic campaign into a region of cheerfulness and hope. It was a wonderful meeting, characterized by unaffectedly spontaneous enthusiasm and by such a showing of numbers as to inspire. The Brooklyn Eagle that in recent years have established bet ter claim to public confidence in its predictions than The New York Her ald, says all but emphatically that Par ker will carry this State and the country. The Eagle people reserve the right to confirm or amend their guess next Sunday after getting fuller returns from their canvass.
 There is a general feeling in the air that Democratic triumph is In sight. My own view is that the election will be determined within the next five days. If you say 1t cannot be deter mined until November 8, reply 1t may be determned on that very day and by voters who had not decided how they would vote until they took up blank ballot at the polls.

party. The mention of the Standard oil Company in this connection Is the first denial the Democratic candidate has made to the charge that the stan dard oil Company is preparing to as- sist financially toward his election The speech follows:
 Fellow Citizens--Some very impor- tant questions confront us in this cam paign. Early in 1t I discussed the extravaganza of the administration and its disposition to enslave peoples after our own people had freed slaves here. We also discussed the tarin question. but of late we have had presented to our attention a question far more i'm portant than any issue presented by our national platform--a question that was not understood at the time and which the party could not contemplate. That is the question whether 1t is possible for interests in this country to control the elections with money. 44
 When the trusts of this country united for the purpose of raising a fund that was to be large enough 70 control the elections; 1t became your duty and mine, without regard to any other issue in this canvass to settle the question once for all whether money or manhood suffrage should control
 We have had very remarkable sit- uation presented. After the recom- mendation that action should be taken toward curbing the trusts. the Republi- cans party passed a statute to that end. but when we examine this statute closely. we find that 1t authorizes the President to appoint cabinet officer to investigate the trusts. The informa- tion he receives may be given to the people or kept private as the President may direct.
 The man he put at the head of that bureau was his private secretary. After this campaign opened he became chairman of the Republican National Committee and whatever information he has. if he had any. was perfectly well understood by the heads of organization. They knew what secrets they had that they did not care to have made public.
 T do not know that he had any in- formation, but his position was one that entitled him to get it. From that time on there has been a gradual move- ment in that direction until 1t Is be- iieved that every trust in this country, including the Standard oil trust is doing what 1t can to elect the ticket"

THE DEATH OF MRS. BARRETT.
New. of D.mi:s Received with sorrow

News of Demise Received with Sorrow In Birmingham. Birmingham. Nov. 3.--(speciai.---
 The sad news came by telegram last night of the death of Mrs. Jamie Smith Barrett wife of MT. E. w. Barrett, editor of the Age-Herald. at the resi- dence of her grandmother, Mrs. w. T. Sutherlin. in Danville, Va. at 9 o'clock last night.
 The friends of MT. and Mrs. Barrett in this city were delighted last Friday by the announcement that daughter had been born to them. The mothers condition was most encouraging at the time. but the following day there were untoward developments. and the efforts of Dr. W. Gill Wylie. one of the most eminent specialist of New York City to check them were unavailing. She began to sink early yesterday morning and 1t soon became evident that the end was only a question of few hours.
 f Mrs. Barrett was a beautiful type of the Southern woman, cultured. intel lectual and. above all, loving. Those who were privileged to know the deep and abiding affection of husband and wife realize the irreparable nature of his loss.
 Mrs. Barrett was the daughter of Col. Frank L. Smith. of Alexandria, Va. one of the foremost men of that State. Mrs. Smith died soon after the daughters birth. and the little one was committed to the care of her grand mother, Mrs. Sutherlin, who reared her tenderly.
 Mrs. Barrett had resided in Birming- ham for seven years. and was beloved by all who came to know her. Society has lost a bright ornament and the community Is bereaved of sweet and gracious woman.
 The funeral of Mrs. Barrett will take place tomorrow morning in Danville.
 Mr. Ross Smith, Mir. Rufus N. Rhodes and other friends had intended leaving this afternoon for Danviile, but owing to the impossibility of reaching there in time for the funeral. will not make the trip.

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He cured Himself of Serious Stomach Trouble, by Getting Down to
 Ffrwt PrfucfpIe@.

E1FW1 FEEuGAVhC@e
 A man of large affairs in one of our prominent Eastern cities, by too close attention to business, too little exercise and too many Club dinners. finally be- gan to pay natures tax. levied in the form of chronic stomach trouble; the failure of his digestion brought about a nervous durability, making it i'm possible to apply himself to his daily business and finally deranging the kid neys and heart.
 In his own words he says: T consul ed one physician after another and each one seemed to understand my case, but all the same they each failed to bring about the return of my former diges- ton, appetite and vigor. For two years went from pillar to post, from one sanitarium to another, I gave up smoking, I quit coffee and even re- nounced my daily glass or two of beer. but without marked improvement.
 Friends had often advised me to try a well-known proprietary medicine, Etuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and I had often perused the newspaper advertise ments of the remedy. but never took any stock in advertised medicines nor could believe a ifty-cent patent medi- cine would touch my case.
 ITO make a long story short, finally bought a couple of packages at the nearest drug store and took two or three tablets after each meal, and oc- casionally tablet between meals. when felt any feeling of nausea Of discom- fort. I-
 q was surprised at the end of the first week to note marked improve ment in my appetite and general health, and before the two packages were gone was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets was going to cure completely, and they did not disappoint me. I can eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and cigar. and no one would suppose I had ever known the horrors of dyspepsia.
 Out of friendly curiosity. wrote to the proprietors of the remedy asking for information as to what the tablets contained. and they replied that the principal ingredients were aseptic pep sin (government test). malt diastaso and other natural digestives, which di- gest food regardless of the condition of the stomach"
 The root of the matter is this, the d. gestive clements contained in Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food. give the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate and the nerves and whole system receive the nourishment which can only come from food; stipulants and nerve tonics never give real strength, they give a fictitious strength, Invariably followed by reaction. Every drop of blood, every nerve and tissue is manufactured from our daily food, and if you can insure it's prompt action and complete digestion by the regular use of so good and wholesome a remedy as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, you will have no need of nerve tonics and sani- tariums.
 Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been in the market only a few years, yet probably every druggist in Britain now sells them and considers them the most popular and successful of any preparation for stomach trouble. wed-tEt-Rp

ships refusing to come to close quarters with the enemy, but pounding them from distance and sending the tor pedo boat destroyers to make night attacks.
 The Yashima was one of the finest battleships of the Japanese navy. Her displacement was 12.300 tons, about the size of the American batt1eship Maine and she had a speed of 19 knots. She carried heavy battery of four 12-inch ten 6-inch and 24 old guns of smaller calibre.
 The Russian squadron at Port Ar thur includes five modern battleships more or less damaged and Rear Ad- miral Rojestvensky's command which is now en route from the Baltic to the Far East also numbers five battleships. Japan's armored cruiser strength is iu- portant, they being greatly superior to the Russians in this respect.
