head, on his left thumb.
Two days later his arm became swol-

WAS obliged to leave his work and go

ON SAME PLATFORM.
Efforts to Have Parker and Bryan To-
gether.

Esopus. N. Y. July 19.-Esopus took
on an added interest. Tuesday. with
the arrival of the first train bringing
New York newspapers. Tho conference
of New York Democrats held, Monday
night. at the Hoffman House was the
subject of the keenest interest, even to
the villagers who hitherto have been
content in the knowledge of Judge
Parker's nomination, without bothering
about details or gossip connected with
his campaign. The Judge showed an in
terest beyond his usual calm and at
breakfast read the newspaper accounts
of the conference with close attention
but without any comment which could
reach the newspaper men.
A report Is current that there will be
an effort to get Judge Parker to begin
his active campaign in the middle west
with a speech at Chicago soon after
the notification ceremonies. 1t is un-
derstood that Mayor Carter II. Harri-
son of Chicago is anxious not only to
have the first big gun of the campaign
fired in Chicago. but to have Judge
Parker and William j. Bryan on the
platform together upon that OCCASION
OF course nothing definite on that sub
ject can be learned here, for Judge
Parker absolutely refuses to discuss
any of his plans subsequent to his noti-
fication.

Oyster Bay. L. l., July 13.-After a
conference with President Roosevelt
which lasted far into the night and was
resumed early Tuesday, former secre-
tary of War Elihu Root. left Sycamore
Hill for New York. Mr.. Root has some
important business which made it nee
essary for him to return to the city
Beyond the fact that the President
be delivered in response to the noti6-
cation of the nomination, little could be
learned about the conference. The talk
covered a wide range of subjects.
Soon after Mr.. Roots departure the
President began to dispose of d mass of
official business and correspondence
which Secretary Loeb brought to his
attention.
Among the callers on the President.
Tuesday, was the Rev. FIR. Chadwick, U.
S. A.. retired. former chaplain Of the
battlcship Maine when the ship was
blown up in Havana harbor. His bus
mess with the President was entirely
personal.
Just before Mr.. Root boarded the
train he was questioned regarding his
conference with the President. He de-
clined, however, to answer any qurs
tons, saying that the talk was gcncr-
al IN its scope. He avoided reference
to specific subjects.
In response to an inquiry whether
the Republican nomination for governor
of New York state, was regarded, he
said that the ticket was not in the dis
custom. His attention was called to
a recent statement accredited to Sen;t-
tor Plat of New York. that Mr.. Root
had said he could not become a cand.

on account of his business Interests and
he was asked il that were true.

REPUDlATES IDEA.
French Have Not Threatened to Send
Troops to kwangsi.

Pekin. July 19.-Noon-The rumors
that the French have threatened to
send troops to Kwangsi in connection
with the disturbances are unfounded.
The French legation emphatically re-
pudiates the idea. The trouble, though
serious. from the Chinese point of view.
causes no uneasiness to the French, the
disturbance being in the northern por-
ton of the province and not near
French territory.
