 ity Will Be Substantial.

Washington. Oct. 7.-Former Lieu tenant Governor Timothy IL. Woodruff of New York and Wm. Berri. proprietor of the Brooklyn Standard Union, were guests of President Roosevelt at luncheon today. MT. Woodruff came to Washington by invitation of tho president.
 As he was leaving the White House he said to a representative of the As- sociated Press: T had a very. pleasant and satisfactory conversation with President Roosevelt. It would not be quite the proper thing for me to dis cuss for publication the details of our conference but I say that it related to the general political situation with a particular reference to that in New York state.'
 T think there is no doubt President Roosevelt will carry New York by a substantial plurality and told him so There is no disguising the fact, how ever that sharp contest is being made on the republican ticket, but I am en- tirely hopeful as to the result"

A Japanese Report or Recent Russian
 Operations.


 Tokio, Oct. 7.-Imperial headquarters issued a report today of recent Russian military movements and skirmishe5 with the Japanese south of Mukden as follows: "On October a few of the enemy's cavalry approached the vicin- ity of Ally Sangpienmen, but our forces drove them off.
 The enemy with a battalion of in- fantry, eleven squadrons of cavalry and five guns advanced toward Shaliu- hatzu, October 4, and retreated toward Huangshan October 5. In this direc- tion there were only two or three of our squadrons of cavalry, whose out post lines extended between Niaoko- shan and Wangchiafe. The Russian infantry heading the column wore Chi Nnese costumes. On October 4 a small body of the enemy attacked our pick ct at Pintaitzu and or Mukden road and were repulsed. The enemy left is dead and rifles behing Al. the en- eny wore Chinese clothing.
 -Four squadrons of cavalry came to Sunshutsuitzu on the Fushua read Oct. 2 and remained there until the morning of October ,. The eneny's cavalry pa trols have been seen south of Wuli- chies and Lungwangiao, but they re- /. treated north to Lutakow, leaving in fantry paroles. A detachment of the enemy's cavalry Oct. with three guns advanced toward Shiotai and taking up position at Tatai fired on our troops north of Yentai."

publicans of this county had selected 'the strongest ticket, in his opinion, that had ever been nominated here. The nomination of MT. Fowler for delegate. he said, would certainly meet\the aD- proval of the citizens of this valley re- gardless of politics or party. He said his observation of delegates to congress from Arizona had been that all the ben. eft derived from sending a delegate had been that some citizen had been furnished a fat job for two years. Mir. Fowler has demonstrated without of fee that it is possible for a man from Arizona to do things that are of vast importance and direct benefit to Ari- zona and T believe,% he said, there is no question in the mind of any fair man that MT. Fowler has done more for Marfcopa county without office com pensation or salary, than all the dele gates we have had in recent years. If able to do this as a private citizen he certainly would work won ders as the direct representative of the people holding the office of delegate to orgess."
 He will carry Maricopa county bv 1000 ma joG1ty," said MT Adams, and place these figures because I believe the people living in this valley and county think more of their business and property interests than of furnish ing a political job to any man. Ths question of the election of delegate this year is a business rather than politi eel issue"

IHE NEBRASKA LAUNCHED
The Heaviest Vessel in the United
 States Navy.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 7.-At 9 o'clock this afternoon, thirteen minutes before schedule time, the battleship Nebraska left her ways at Moran Bros company ship yard in this city and slid grace fully and majestically into the waters of Puget Sound. The launching was entirely successful and no hitch mar red the proceedings. The only reason the vessel was launched ahead of time was that by q slight miscalculation inc poppel (wooden brace) at the bow was raising the vessel too high and in the opinion oC experts it was better that the supports be knocked away with out any delay.
 Fully ao,0OO people viewed tue ccre- monies and saw the big vesse! slip into the water She created but a small wave as sh" took her maiden plunge and floated out gently and gracefully. Naval men who viewed the launching stated that it was the most successful they ever saw
 The Nebraska weighs more than any vessel before launched in the United S-ares nary. Immediately after the launching the big Alaska liners that hoVe-ed about her. decks black with excursionists, looked diminutive beside her.

GRAIN.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-Signs of weakness were manifested in the wheat market at the immediate opening. The senti- ment among pit traders generally showed an inclination to favor 10th sides of the market This reversal of recent existing conditions was due chiefly to the belief by many traders that the present liberal rate of wheat deliveries in the northwest was likely to be for a month or more. An addi- tonal incentive to sell was furnished by the weak tone of the cables. Initial quotations showed slight losses, De cember being unchanged to A lower at 1C9B B01099s. May was a shade to Ae1-k lower at 109k4B. Large receipts in the southwest started active selling by houses with southwestern conn ections. December closed at 1OSA@ss Firal quotations on May were at 1O9GIk.
 Extreme weakness prevailed in the corn market as the result of contin- uous liquidation on the part of local traders. December opened HG1k lower and closed 1A lower at 4S&a. The weakness of wheat and corn had com paratively little effect on the oats mar. ket, prices showing only slight de- cline. December closed at 3O1. 0%.

 Camden. N.

As matter of fact, the blazes are not unusual and can hardly be prevented. A fire occurred in a lot of sa.wdust that had been thrown about one of the tanks. This is done after the tanks have been filled with water to test them, the sawdust being used to dry up the surface of tanks and show any leak.
 There are about twenty gangs of riveters working on the battleship. which is about 30 per cent completed. One of the riveters late yesterday af- ternoon must have dropped a hot rivet or perhaps a splinter fell from a rsvet and landed in the sawdust. The fire ensued and continued to snolder un. til discovered. The damage ito the ship amounts to nothing" It was enormously reported last night that fire has occurred on the cruiser Washington.
