1t appears that the use Of the
name of Chris H. Lien as a can
didate for lieutenant governor,
was not by Mr.. Liens desire or
consent, but his name was put
forth by some of the Crawford
boomers Of Roberts county in an
effort to boost their cause. Mr..
Lien says that he is not and new
err has been a candidate for any
state office, aud that the un,
authorized use of his name in
this connection misrepresents
him. Mr.. Lien is a banker with
extensive interests in this part
of the country, which demand
his personal attention. He has
been urged by many friends in
different parts of the state to be-
come a candidate, but has re-
fused. He is in hearty sympa'
thy with the republican state or
ganization and will use his in1u'
ence to assist in securing a dele
cation from Roberts county that
will be in line with it.

Hon. J. E. McDougall of Brit
ton, who is prominently men
toned for the office Of governor,
and whose friends are enthuslas-
tic in supporting him for the
position, was a visitor in MiIbank
last Friday, having stopped over
between trains while on a trip to
Chicago. Senator McDongall
has represented Marshall county
ia the state senate for several
years, and has always been rec
ognized as an able aud conscien-
tious representative of the peo-
pie. He made a very favorable
impression on our people here,
and when it comes to the choos-
ing of a governor it is generally
conceded that South Dakota
voters might look further and
fare worse. Senator McDougall
has the ability, character and ex-
perience to make a most success
full chief executive Of the state.

Coe I. Crawford in a letter
which he reserves for agricul-
tural use and sends to individual
farmers in the several commun.
tiles. is particularly down on the
railroads and other corporations.
In appealing for the farmers
vote he says in one paragraph:
The men who represent the political
interests of the great corporations
doing business in this state, such as
the Standard Oil Co., the railway,
telegraph. insurance and express COM
panies, and school book trust. have
combined against me. These men are
always present in the Hobbies during
the sessions of our legislature to
secure legislation favoring special
interests, and to prevent legislation
honestly designed to make these cor
porations accountable to the people
before the law. BY the use OF the
large patronage at their disposal,
such as rebates, franks and passes,
these men have acquired great polit-
ical power and how seek absolutely
to control the republican party OF
the state.
This is peculiar language to
come from one Of the most prom
inent railroad lawyers in the
state, a man who, up to the time
of his announcement as q candi-
date for governor, was the attor-
ney for the Northwestern rail.
road system, and in court and
before state officers was the paid
attorney for that corporation,
and had been for years. This is
no dishonor to Mr.. Crawford, as
railroad corporations are quick
to recognize ability and secure it
for their own interests, but 1t
looks a little hypocritical to say
the least for q man to be so
severe in his denunciation Of
corporations, when but a few
weeks ago he was in the paid
service Of the corporation as its
attorney and defender.

Special Gable Despatch TO TIE SUN.
ST. PETERsRURa, Oct. AN officially
inspired opinion here treats President
Roosevelt's initiative in the matter OF sum-
monlng another conference Of the Hague
peace tribunal with the greatest suspicion.
In various forms the writer's all adopt the
view that however much the conference
might at the common cement seek to oonfine
itself to the general principle OF universal
peace, it would inevitably develop into an
instrument Of intervention in the present
war unfavorable to Russia's interest.
writer in the Nouoe VremUu says that
besides the Manchu rian war Russia is
engaged in an equally difficult diplomatic
campaign in Europe. He adds:
AN offers Of mediation and intervention
and the summonings Of peace conferences
to complete the work begun at The Hague
are as dangerous mannuvres as the turning
movements and ambuscades of the Jap
anese. Let us hope that our diplomacy,
supported by the frmness Of the Russian
people, will follow the example. not OF
1873, but Of 1870. Prince Bismarck had
hard work to keep away all the unlimited
peacemakers who sought to prevent him
from attaining his chosen goal. What was
possible for Germany then ought now to
be possible for Russia.

President Roosevet's step az taken with
the object OF having in existence at the end
of the Russo-Japanese war an international

NEGROES IN THE ARMY.
Artillerymen At Fort McHenry Say They

BALTIMORE, Oct. Ma or- Gen. Henry c.
Corbins recommendation that negroes be
made eligible for enlistment in the United

indignation among the men of the three
artillery corps stationed at Fort McHenry.
-Sooner than serve with a negro as a
possible non commissioned officer we would
desert" was the assertion Of one of the
soldiers at the post to-day. The men insist
that the feeling OF discomfort which the
adoption Of Cen Corbins recommended

branch Of the army would result in general
demoralilatio

vice. Modern gunnery embraces so many
branches of knowledge Of the higher sort
that many of our young men have to at
tend the military school before they can
possibly compete in the examinations for
promotion.
Apart altogether from these reasons,
there exists. especially in the Coast Artillery
service, a sort OF sympathy and family
feeling which could never be extended

100000 Fire in Berlin. Md, Burns
Many Buildings In the Town.

BALTIMORE, Oct. THE town OF Berlin,
on the Eastern Shore, was visited to-day by
the most disastrous fire in its history, and
tonight more than twenty-five families
are homeless, although the loss was only
100000.
The fire, which ragged from noon until s
o'clock in the afternoon, was caused by
spark from passing locomotive which
set fire to the Berlin veneering plant. In
a few minutes the high wind carried the
flames to the residences in the southern
part OF the town. The local fire department
was unable to cope with the flames. and
assistance was asked from the volunteer
forces at Salisbury and Ocean City.
The flames continued to spread. how
ever, and before they burned themselves
out, four churches, two mills, besides the
veneering plant and twenty-five OF the
houses in the town, were destroyed. The
homeless people were made comfortable
for the night by the more fortunate resi-
dents.
Berlin lie situated in Worces ter county
on the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic
Railway, has a population Of about e'Ooo
and Is one OF the most prosperous towns on
the Eastern Shore.

The l23d Company, Coast Artillery,

made hash for breakfast yesterday, and
an hour afterward, forty-seven OF the men,
more than half the company, were In the
post hospital sick, suffering, the surgeons at
the fort said, from some sort Of poison.
All had recovered last night except two,
whose condition was said to be serious,
although It was hardly excepted they would
die.
The hash was prepared by the COM
pany's regular cook. 1t was mixed, as
usual. the night before. and stood in the
refrigerator until morning. or what ma
terial the dishes were made that contained
it while it was in the refrigerator has not
been disclosed, and it will not be known
whether the mems sickness resulted from
metallic or ptomaine poisoning until
court of inquiry has investigated the cir
cumstances.
The company was going through the
regular Saturday inspection on the parade
ground when the members began to go
down. The first to fall was Acting Sergeant
Major Neichan. He was seized with cramps
but nobody thought it was anything serious
until one or two others in the company
complained Of similar pains and asked per-
mission to discontinue the drill.
Then they went out thick and fast, many
Of them being obliged to have help in getting
to the hospital. The hospital was filled
and soma of the men had to be taken to their
quarters.
Men from other companies turned In
and assisted the post surgeons in their
work. Most of the men affected were
brought around in short time, but all OF
them felt .groggy' for several hours. The
entire company was relieved OF its inspec-
ton service and also OF any guard duty.
Col Greenough, commandment OF the
post, was away when the trouble occurred.
Capt Stone was In charge. The officers
at the fort took particular pains to say last
evening that they did not believe the sick
ness had resulted from any inferiority or
impurities in the food itself before being

The thrasher shark is said to be one OF
