 publican Convention.
 Washington Special to New York Mail
 and Express.
 Tho one cloud upon the horizon thai friends of the President regard with aG, mitted anxiety is the situation in NsN York. The announcement that there is doubt as to whether the State conven tion will adopt resolutions instructing thu four delegates at large to vote for Theo dore Roosevelt at Chicago continues tC surprise and perplex many politicians il Washington.
 They do not understand such radica change from the program repeatedly an nounced by Senator Platt before his re however. that an effort will be made tt of the Republican primaries in the frs and second-class cities of New YoTl State. Just how this can be done Is, fl is said here. for Chairman Dunn of tht Republican State Committee to explain.
 The expected conference between Pres ident Roosevelt and Senator Hanna may occur at any hour, or 1t may not occul for days. This means that there will bt no concerted effort upon the part of tht friends of either to bring them together The President will not at present asi MT. Hanna to come to the White House The men in Congress and out who arc recognized in Washington as the mos vigilant and diligent guardians of tht movement for the Presidents nomination will mako no effort even to suggest tC Senator Hanna that he call upon tht President.

POLITICAL POINTS

German has seen 1t to supersede their favortte.
 They fear that Senator German Is con templating one of his customary cours and declare that they will watch closely and are ready to combine with the friends of Mir Rayner at any time to defeat any plan of Messrs. German and Basin to land MT. Carter by a trick There is no doubt but that by his action Senator German has irrevocably alienated the Smith people.
 The result of the second ballot was gen. eraily regarded as proving conclusively that the machine leaders had overesti- mated their strength and that they would not be able to force Mir. Carter on the people, even by the exercise of all their power. That they are by no means san. guine of success was evident from the conversation of the most trusted agents of the leaders, It was admitted by a number of them that the "bosses'' had placed themselves in a dilemma and that 1t was very uncertain what would be rhe outcome.
 With MT. Carter elected, 1t was pointed out, Senator German and MT. Ras.n would have two strong factions opposed to them forever after. as the Smith people would never forgive them and the friends or MT. Rayner would resent their action n forcing candidate upon the people in timent.
 Taken altogether, it Is the general i'm. pression that the machine was never in greater danger of a smash than at pres ent. and the prediction Is freely made that the end of its existence is near at hand,

EXPERT TESTIMONY.

In the trial of the Bechtel case, now going on in Allentown. Pa, the life of a human being is virtually dependent on the value of expert testimony. as 1t has come to be known. Whether the stains found on certain articles of clothing taken from the Bechtel household were or were not made by human blood is the question at issue in this part of the ex- animation. and the conviction or acquittal of the mother of the murdered girl may be determined by this evidence.
 As is usually the case where this kind of expert testimony Is introduced, the witnesses differ. In fact, some of them are diametrically opposed to some of the others. Witnesses on one side are posi- tive that the stains in question were made by human blood, and on the other side the witnesses are equally positive that the tests on which the former base their conclusions are worthless. In case of this kind should the jury believe either side? We admit that the witnesses are equality honest. but if they arrive at their conclusions by different routes, and do not agree. should life or. death depend on their testimony? That Is the question for the jury to settle among themselves.
 This is not the first or the only case of the kind that we have read of. and in all the cases of which we have any recol- lection this same conflict between experts comes up. One will swear in most posi- tive terms that his tests are infailible. and that there can be no error in his con- cIusions. and another will swear that the tests are not to be depended on. In such cases. tS not human life and human lib- erty jedpardized in a way that is not at all conducive to good opinion of human justice? A jury should be slow to convict on such evidence

Senator Germans Attempted Dicta- ton Causing Bitter Factions.

Senator Germans Attempted Dicta-
 tion Causing Bitter Factions. Annapolis Special to Baltimore Sun.
 The feeling of the friends of ex-Gov- ernor Smith against Mir. German for his action in dropping their candidate uncere- noIiiouSiy and taking up Mir. Bernard Carter was intensified today when Sena- tor Germans son cast his vote for Mir. Carter.
 Up to that time the friends of Mir. Smith had been hoping that Senator Gorman's advocacy of Mr. Carter was 6 sham and that at the proper time he would throw his influence for MT. Smith. and the ac- ton of Senator Germans son in voting for Governor Warfield on Tuesday was re- garded in a great measure as lending color to this opinion. The vote for MT. Carter today, however, was regarded by every friend of MT. Smith who was asked about the matter as a direct message from the Senator that he had personally espoused the cause of MT. Carter and was determined to push 1t to the utmost.
 Close friends of MT. Smith declare that they will never agree to allow their can- didate to be cast aside in this manner. They declare that Senator German is un- der obligations to Mir. Smith and that ne has acknowledged these obligations and declared that he would give his support to MT. Smith. They say that his action is the rankest kind of treachery and shows that he has absolutely no gratI- tude. Without exception they declare that they will never vote for Mir. Garter and would far rather see Mt. Rayner elected than the man with whom Senator

IT can probably make you comfortable, but that Is all.' He was very serious and before he went away he advised me to put | all personal matters of importance into satisfactory shape.
 This was discouraging enough, but do not give up easy and kept on with his treatment. By this time I could not rise from my chair without being pulled up by the hands. I coySdn't walk without cane, and couldn't walk at all in the dark. The disease kept spreading until had to keep to my bed most of the time. could neither dress nor undress myself and when wanted to lie down my sister had to lift my limbs and put them on the bed. I had no power to raise them myself.
 You see I was in pretty bad shape when I first began to take Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. How did hear about them? We'll, my nephew told me about man he had met. somewhere down South. who could walk only with crutches the first time my nephew saw him. but was entirely we'll year after ward. and gave all the credit to Dr. vii. Hams Pink Pills. Then a neighbor showed me a newspaper account of Schoharie County man who had been cured of locomotor ataxia by the same remedy. I sent for some the very next morning I stuck to 1t, too, for it was five weeks before I saw any benefit. Then l noticed less pain and could walk with out cane. and had left of my former trouble o:lly little dragging of my right foot.
 One day, when I was out. saw my doctor. He was greatly surprised and ex- claimed: You certainly are better. What has done it? If you had not got better YOU could not have raised hand or foot by this time.'
 Well, I kept on taking the pills and improving. Now I am as we'll as any one, go about freely, do my own house. woFk. even run up and down stairs, and sometimes think I am young again. All the credit for my recovery is due to pr. Williams Pink Pills. and surely no one can recommend them more highly than can."
 A remedy proved capable of curing the most dreadful form of nervous disease known, may be used with confidence for all minor disorders, such as sciatica, neu- ralgia, nervous headaches, St. Vitus' dance and nervous debility. Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all druggists throughout the world.

 Now. it is perfectly useless for any of the union men to say, as they probably will say. that the determination of this large concern to suspend operations Is a. blow at labor. That will be natural charge for some of them to make. but that Is no solution of the serious and undesirable situation. The fact remains that millions of dollars of capital may be taken out of the building trade. and 1t win be taken out solely because of the arrogance and want of fairness of some of the unions. The laborins men will be the sufferers, and nobody but themselves to thank or blame for 1t.

MAYOR OF NASHVILLE
Says Tennessee is for Neither Cor
 man Nor Cleveland.


 New York Special to Baltimore Sun.
 Mayor James Head, of Nashville. who represents Tennessee on the Democratic National Committee. does not believe that the South will support either German pr Cleveland for the Presidential nomination. He said here today:
 T don't think German is very strong ill the South, and Cleveland is weaker there than German. In Tennessee there has been no generalization of sentiment. There is a good deal of Parker talk.
 Tt Is idle to suppose that sentiment in the Democratic party has changed since the campaigns of 1898 and 1900. The par ty still believes in the issues of those campaigns. However find everywhere C a feeling that we ought to make conces- sions if we can win.
 T do not believe that we should make merely a negative campaign. We should keep abreast of the times. Our issues should be the issues of today. We do not think for a moment of making the fight on the issues of slavery days"
 when asked if Bryan's plea for the reaf- firmation of all blanks in the Kansas City platform would met with favorable re- sponse, Mir. Head said he thought it would not.
 Charles F. Murphy was asked what ne thought. of Mir. Bryan's speech.
 T haven't read 1t, he said.
 ''Do you believe, as MT. Bryan says; that the 16-to-1 plank should be reaf 1irmed?'

A recent occurrence in West Virginia would form a good problem in the study of chances and responsibilities. The facts are that a woman went to bed with a celluoId comb in her hair and a lighted cigarette between her teeth. She dropped off to sleep the cigarette dropped on and ignited the comb. that set fire to the bed and she was fatally burned. It was a dangerous combination, and the coroner could not decide whether to lay the blame on the cigarette or the comb. She should have left one of them behind when she was preparing to retire, and we suppose most people will decide that both were out of place. Cigarette smoking is bad habit, especially for woman going to sleep.

 bill is now before Congress to pay all Union soldiers of the war between the States a service pension of $l3 per month. without regard to the length of time they served. the pension to begin when the soldier reaches the age of @ years. A writer in The Washington Times says this lis manifestly what should have been done long ago." but he argues that the pension should begin as soon as the law is approved. without waiting for the age limit fixed by the bill. He evidently thinks that every man who enlisted in the Union army should be paid for it, whether he did any actual service or not. and that he should be paid right now. The writer is sincere, at all events. And ou this much-discussed 1ues- tion of pensions. The Boston Transcript says: ....>
 The nations gratitude to the soldiers and sailors of the civil war should ever ways which are honorable in themselves' and honorable to the veterans. Whene .sr the nations gratitude. or what passes for gratitude; has q tenosncy 70 'aSs .ss veteran 1t is in no sense benefaction; II Is simply an insult and nothing short or it. The fact that certain veterans Of the pauperised against proves only, that some "a few. 1t is to be hoped-are ready to emulate the example of Esau of old: it has no bearing upon the sentiments of the civil war veterans as wnoie
 The Transcript is deceiving itself if it thinks that any considerable number of the Union soldiers would refuse to accept a pension through any nice feeling that they are pauperising themselves by &C., cepting the money. If The Transcript will take the trouble to investigate little. it will find. right in the shadow of Fan euil Hall. pensioners who are taking Uncle Sam's money cheerfully, and who are not needing 1t. It will find Massa- chusetts millionaire and ex-Congressn1an who received a pension of which he was not in need, and who didn't need it when he applied for it.
 The truth of the matter is, as The Transcript ought to know, that there Is a strong disposition in some, quarters to make the Pension Department a vide opens affair and pension every man who even claims to have enlisted in the Union armies. Commissioner Evans was virtually forced out of office because he had conscience. Ware is more pliable, but even he takes occasion to protest occasionally, and now We understand it is proposed to put Corporal Tanner in his place. That ought to make it as easy for any Union soldier to get any pension he wants as it is ordinarily to get a mar | riage license. The redoubtable corporal has already made 1t plain that he con- siders it a solemn duty of the Government to take care of all of us,'' and if he becomes Commissioner, 1t may be taken for granted that there will be no more bars in the way of pensioning everybody who wore the Federal uniform, even If he never did any military service more real than loading commissary wagons. Let 'em riot in public money while it lasts, and let The Transcript keep tab of the number who refuse to accept pensions.

AN ALABAMA AUTHOR.

In the last issue of The Gulf States Magazine appears an article giving a succinct. compact and graphic history of Confederate Indian Affairs. by Col. S. s. Scott. the Commissioner. It is written in that easy. flowing and graceful style which characterizes all of his writings From the subject, one would be led to think that the article would be dry read ing. On the contrary. however. such iz the arrangement of the different topics, and the .manner of treatment so novel, that the paper is not less interesting than the cleverest piece of fiction. and has at the same time the merit~of pure history. a part of Southern history. 1t may be added. about which our people know but little.
 While speaking of Colonel Scott as an author. the reader is much struck with one fact. which does not seem to be gen erally known in this, his native State, and ehat is of nearly all his numerous writings. covering most of the years since the war. being devoted exclusively to pictures of Southern life and manners. This fact. of itself ought to endear him to the Southern people. In looking over a list of his writings (the heads of few of his most important are given) the follow sng: Southern Manhood: Tuskaluza or Knight Errantry in Alabama: Nanny Caesar. Sissaline Gechorn, or the Girl of the South; Charley wenker and the Devil Fish: The Southern Storm: Akrl- cultural Democracy; Random Recollec- tions of the Alabama Legislature, 1s57-9, and 1S5s-60; Memorial Day; The Confed- crate Soldier; Under the Magnolia; the Southern Cavaliers; The Rebel Dead; State Convention of 1860; Sketches of Semnaes, Morgan. Watts, Meeks, Yancey, Cianton; and histories of many other Southern men. Indeed. with the exception Of s'Notes of Western Travel" not Q single leading article, sketch or story has he written except of the South. Let Ala bamians then honor the man, who has 90 zealously and constantly labored to show up the South exactly as she was and is. and has done it. too, with such marked success. The wish of Dr. J. w. Rush, the aged and highly cultured Methodist Di- vine. with regard to "Mobilians, or Talks About the South," by Colonel Scott can be truly and most appropriately made as to all of Colonel Scott's writings, viz., T wish every young man and woman in Alabama would read this book; thank Colonel Scott for the pleasure he has aGorded me-"
