News Already From Doubtful States.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2.-Senator Phil
ander c. Knox returned to his Valley Forge
farm late this afternoon after an extended
trip through the country districts of Great
Britain. In regard to the various reports
that have been sent from Europe about
the part that he was playing in the Phipps
divorce case he said:
Il am positive that the affairs Of this
family will be quietly settled in the near
future without recourse to the courts.
l went into the case to achieve this end,
and from my acquaintance with both Mr..
and Mrs Phipps feel certain that an agree
ment will be reached
Because Of this feeling have regretted
the reports that have been sent out to the
effect that had been instrumental in hav-
ing Mr., Henry Phipps send recent cable
gram TO his nephew regarding the case.
I do not know whether a cablegram was
sent or not, but l wish to deny that my
visit abroad had any connection with the
Phipps case.
Il did not see Mr.. Henry Phipps or con-
fer with him in any way regarding the
family affairs OF his nephew. All that
! know of the case since / went away is
what have read in the newspapers.
Things are not so bad as they are stated.
and know an amicable adjustment will
be speedily reached"
As to politics the Senator said:
Il have returned ready to take any part
in the national campaign that may be as
signed to me.
Men have met to-day from other States
regarded as doubtful express confidence
and seem to believe that they have nothing
to fear, either from the Democrats or over
confidence.
Judge Parker. personally, is fine
American. There is nothing to say against
him, but know that whenever the people
of this country come to vote for a Chief
Magistrate, they not only insist upon hav-
ing an upright candidate. but they ask.
Who and what is behind this canddate3'
Every one knows the men and the pur-
poses behind President Roosevelt. Do we
know the men behind Parker? Senator
Hill is bowling himself out OF politics, and
that makes the question still more inter-
esting as to who Is behind Judge Parker
The one real issue that 1t seems to me the
Democrats have, Is embraced in the plea
Please let us run the Government because
try to do the best we can to initiate the
Republicans
Il see that Mr.. Markle, the coal operator.
is wearing a Parker button, and that the
Democrats Of Pennsylvania profess to be
highly pleased thereat. l wonder do the
Democrats think that Mr.. Markets con-
version, II correctly announced, is going to
make many Democratic votes. l wonder II
they ever look at the other side of the pict-
ure and think how Mr.. Markets case may
influence the Republican vote.
Il don't believe the Republican managers
Of the State are staying awake nights
worrying about the stand taken by Mr.,
Marke or any other operators who may
follow his example.
Il shall meet Senator Penrose and others
this week, and find from them what is ex-
pected of me. ! shall speak during the
campaign whenever l am desired to do so,
and suppose that will make at least one
address in Pittsburg."
