Alabama Congressman Tells How
the Merrimac Hero Won the Ladies.
From the New Yegk Times.
Washington, April ia towering
basket of flowers stood to-day upon
the desk of Representative John H.
Bankhead, who has just returned from
Alabama with Capt. Hobson'sg scalp
tucked in his belt. The published
stories about the extraordinary speak
ing campaign which the rivals con-
Quoted had excited much interest, and
Capt. Bankhead was overrun with in
quiries as well as congratulations.
He did not want to say much about
1t until the official count was in al
though Hobson has admitted defeat.
But when he did advert to the hard
run the Merrimac hero gave him it
was with grim smile.
1T was remarkable campaifn,"
he said. I'VE had audiences where
ever we went The halls were not
large enough to hold half the people
who came to hear. A very large pro-
portion of them were women and chill
dren. Little tots not more than so

Mr.. Bankhead smiled grimly again.
WELL said he, the ladies exerted
a powerful influence in behalf of Hob
son. If they were not able to make
their husbands, brothers and sweet
hearts vote for him. they were often
able to make these voters stop talk
ing for me"
Hobson made more speeches than
Bankhead did and the old ex-Con-
federate was sometimes surprised by
the young officers powers of endur-
ance. When asked about it he gave
that grim smile again and said: He
sometimes spoke three times a day
and two hours at a time. He is,
of course, a well-educated man; he
has taken lessons of elecutionists, and
then he had had experience in lee
turing. He has some nice gestures,
and he has some eloquent periods,

DELANEY SAYS JEFFRIES WILL

Soon.

San Francisco, April 19.-Big jim
Jeffries, high in flesh and high in
spirits, is back among his California
cronies once more. He is enjoying life
and giving himself up to the pleasures
of the hour. He is the star guest of
many an auto party to the beach re-
gion, and he is having good old time
generally prior to his departure to
Hardin Springs to begin course of
preparation for his championship fight
With Jack Munroe.
Jeffries says he will train as faith

has been amply proved that the best
kind of training for Jeffries is a So

petual delight?
Jeffries will use the gymnasium at

always been more or less a bore than
a pleasure. 1t Is safe to say that no

NO ACTION YET TAKEN
REGARDING ALEXlEFF

st. Petersburg, April $3.50 far as
can be learned no action has been
taken in regard to Viceroy Alexieff's
application to be relieved of his du-
ties. Indeed, it is not officially adj
mitted that such an application has
been received.
Rumor's of the Vieeroy's approach
ing return have gained wide circula-
ton, but further than admitting the
fact of the existence of unfriendly re-
lations between the two men, the Off
cial world did all in its power to dis
courage the idea that Vice Admiral
Skrydloffs appointment to command
the Russian fleet at Port Arthur could
lead Admiral Alexieff to take a hasty
step.
Skrydloff himself has had a long
interview with the Emperor, and it
is considered quite probable, now that
the situation is the subject of public
discussion, that a way be found to
smooth matters over for the present,
in order to preserve appearances.

Washington Has Lost Five
Strai-hts.
The cold wave that now has that
section north of Mason and Dixon's
line in its grasp, prevented the play
ing of championship baseball games in
the big leagues yesterday, with two ex-
ceptions.
In Chicago the Detroit Americans
put on their snow shoes and tried to
repeat their performance of the day
before, but the men from the Windy
City showed up strong in the exhil-
irating atmosphere and took the game
by a close score.
Despite the cold which was near
the freezing point at Cincinnati, a
game was played with the Pittsburg
champions, and the Reds were again
victorious, winning out by a score of
6 to 4.
1t is remarkable with what regular
ity last years champions are losing
now. 1t is nothing unusual to see
Cincinnati start off with rush, how
ever, and there are many that pre-
dict backsliding that will only stop
short of the last section.
McGraw is still laying on the top
step, saving all of his strength for
his whirl around the circuit. The

Hours After Escape.

Valdosta, Ca, April 20.-Three pris-

Jail last night by very clever ruse.
A plumber was at work in the Jail
during the day and the prisoners were
let into one of the corridors.
Late in the evening they crawled
behind the cell and remained there
until the jailor went up to lock the
cell door. When the men were called
each answered in such a way as to
make the unsuspecting Tailor think
they were in their hunks The cell
door was locked and later in the night
the negroes made their escape through
a window, after breaking the iron
screen.
The escape of the negroes was not
known until this morning. Sheriff
Passmore organized a posse and a rigid
search was made for the men. They
were located west of the city and ar
rested. Several shots were fired at
the fugitives.
