Senator Expected to Receive Nominal
ton for Vice Presidency.
New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, March 1.-Walter Well
man in Washington special to the
Record Herald, says:
It is widely believed in. administra-
ton and congressional circles that
Senator Fairbanks will be nominated
for vice president. While the sena-
tor will not seek the nomination, it is
understood that he will permit the
Indiana republicans to go ahead and
present his name to the convention at
Chicago.
Indiana will indorse and push the
candidacy Of its senior senator, en-
and republicans from
other parts Of the country appear to
be quite willing that Indiana and Mr..
Fairbanks should have the honor.
L Senator Fairbanks will not ask any
one to favor him, and viii exert not
the slightest effort in his own behalf.
But If the republicans OF his state
choose to present his name, and the
republicans Of other states like the
idea, Mr.. Fairbanks senatorial coli
Leagues who have talked with him on
this subject are sure he will offer no
objections.
Mr.. Fairbanks closest. friends in the
senate have suggested to him that the
vice presidency is no longer a shelf on
which to place statesmen who are not
of much account or who have outlived
their usefulness. .8
Senator Fairbanks colleagues have
assured him that If he accepts the
nomination and is elected he will have
opportunity to serve the party and
the country good turn.
AS vice president he would be vast
Ily stronger than any man drafted from
private life.

DYNAMlTERS GUST
NEGRO OFFICIAL,
Arkansas Citizens Destroy Build
ing to Emphasize Objection
to Postmaster.
New YORK Sun Special Service.

Humphreys, Ark, March 1.-Some
unknown person destroyed the post
office building here by an explosion
of dynamite. Great excitement pre-
calls. as this is generally believed to be
the result of the almost universal OBJ
lection of the white population to the
administration of the office by the
negro postmaster.
The postmaster before the pres
ent one was negro by the name of
Toms. He, too, caused great dissatis-
faction, which ended only when Toms
was convicted of robbing the mails.
With Toms downfall it was thought
that the federal authorities would real
lie that a negro was not wanted in the
office. To the surprise Of the whole
community their wishes were disre-
garded and another negro was APP
pointed and installed
His appointment was freely discuss
ed, and some persons had their mails
sent to the nearby postoffices.
When the postmaster installed as his
| deputy one of his daughters some per-
sons considered that made the situa-
Etion unbearable. Saturday the post
was stated. and his daughter was in
charge of the office. IT,. =. ~
Sunday morning the citizens We're
awakened by a loud explosion, which
shook houses and broke the windows.
Investigation showed deep hole In
the ground where the postoffice stood
but not a trace of the building. Parts
OF 1t were found the next day scattered
In all directions. Little mall was In
) the room and practically no money or
valuables. ...

FIVE STEPS HOLD
UP CANAL WORK
Funds Must Be Authorized, Pay.
ments Made and Government
Established.
From The journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

Washington. r "
Washington. March Now that
the Panama canal treaty has been rat
flied, the next steps toward the ac-
complishment Of the big ditch are:
First-To clear UP all questions OF
title to the French property.
Second-To pay $1O,OOO,OO to the
republic of Panama and $40,000,000
to the French Panama Canal COM
pany for all their rights and proper
ties.
Third-To Ak salaries for and to or
ganize the commission of seven, which
the president has just appointed.
Fourth-To pass q bill on the lines
Of the measure introduced by Senator
Kittridge, establishing an American
government on the strip coded in
Panama for the canal.
Fifth-To authorize the issue Of
bonds to the amount Of 800, 100000,
more or less to furnish money for the
actual construction of the canal.
All of which preliminaries may con-
sumo two or three months, and actual
operations may be delayed until warm
weather.
The Kittridge bill to provide for a
government Of the canal strip is the
embodiment Of the plan framed by
Senator Hanna before his death.
The general plan is for government
by commission Of three, subject to
congress and the president. The
president is authorized to appoint the
three members of this board Of gov
ernOrs.
In them is vested all legislative and
executive power over the canal strip,
including policing and taxation.
The canal commissioners shall have
no power except to freely perform
their labors of construction, and In
case OF conflict of authority between
the commission and the board of gov
ernors, the president is authorized to
restrain the board Of governors.
All the territory, including the cities
| of Panama and Colon, shall be subject
| to the jurisdiction Of the board Of gov
ernorss who shall have authority to
| furnish and regulate the water sup
ply, and to employ army engineers for
| this purpose.
The judicial functions in the canal
strip are to be administered by three
| judges to be named by the president
This courts decisions are subject tc
| review by the circuit court Of appeals
for the second judicial district of the
! be taken to the federal courts and tc
| the United States supreme court.
1t is probable that Assistant Attor.
ney General Charles W. Russell will
be sent to Paris to look into the two
suits filed against the new Panama
canal company by Colombia and thu
effect they may have on the title.
One of the suits asks for an injunc
ton to restrain the sale of the cana
property on the ground that Colombo;
is a stakeholder and has never con
scented to sell, and expects some stool
in the canal which Colombia claim
to own.
Both suits are set for hearing OF

AFTER WILL LEFT
BY WASHINGTON.
Robbers Attack Courthouse Door,
but Are Frightened by Noise
Of Explosion.

Alexandria, Va. March 1.-An at
tempt has been made to steal the will
Of George Washington from the clerk s
office in the Fairfax county court
house. The outer doors of the vault
were shattered by the explosive used,
but the document, which reposes in a
glass case with other valuable papers,
was unframed.
1t is supposed the would-be thieves
fled without accomplishing their OBJ
explosion which aroused many per-
sons residing near the courthouse.
The will is in Washington's writing
and was made, the year of his death.
It covers twenty-nine closely written
pages, each of which bears the sigma
ture of the first president.

THAT AWFUL PALPITATI0N
They Mean That You Have Weak Heart
and Weak Nerves.
Heart Failure and Sudden Death Sure Ull
You Do the Right Thing Now.


Failure or weakness Of heart action is
very prevalent It is a most serious and
dangerous condition to be in. The first
symptoms. may be very slight, and appar-
emily trivial.
But do not fail to heed them if you value
your life. The warnings are plain and un-
mistakable.
Nervousness and weakness, giddiness.
swimming of the head, strange, faint feel
ings, trembling, short breath, sinking sem
sation, GOODNESS of feet and legs. flutterng
or .palpitation in left side of the chest feel
ing of apprehension or anxiety as Of inn
pending danger, drowsiness daytimes,
sleeplessness at night. 80.
A little over-exertion, excitement or
emotion may bring on the attacks at any
time. Sudden rising from a stopping or
reclining position will cause dizziness, and
rapidly climbing stairs will make the heart
palpitate, produce WEAKNESS and shortness
of breath. In some cases there are pains
in the region Of the heart, but In most
cases there is no pain whatever.
Neglect OF these symptoms will result in
heart failure, spasms or neuralgia of the
heart, or death.

Break with F'inanciers.

This much may be said, however,
without opening up any discussion:
The high-minded leaders Of the re-
publican party see in the campaign
this year an opportunity to cut loose
from the eastern financial interests
which dominated the party in the last
two campaigns, and they welcome it
with loud acclaim.
They think that with Roosevelt as
the candidate, the need for funds will
be reduced to a minimum. The presi-
dent will be his own platform, and the
wheels Of the campaign will run with
out being creased. The party will
get back, without too great a strain,
to the old-fashioned ground it oc-
cupied prior to 1896, and the country
as a whole will be benefited.
Mr.. Crane has been used to the lib
eral expenditure of money in his Mas
sachusetts campaigns. but he will
have little to do this year, in case he
accepts the presidents invitation, ex-
cept to look pleasant and give a glad
hand to party workers as they come
and go at national headquarters.
Should Mr.. Crane decline the invi-
tation, it is not known what the presi-
dent will do. The talk of Dick of
Ohio and Of Scott of West Virginia,
is thus far without authority. It is
said the president has not had either
In mind for the Craftsmanship.

New York, March 1.-The Dow
Jones Wall Street News Agency,
which often has good sources of infor-
nation and is not given to reckless
statements, sends out the following
announcements: =
We are in a position to state that Gro
yer Cleveland's determination not to be
candidate is unalterabe and fixed against
any and all contingencies that can be ina
gined.
Mr.. Cleveland has very slight expecta-
lions of the democratic party nominating
what might be called a decent candi-
date for the presidency, and he has ex-
pressed his opinion that under the circum-
stances the reelection of President
Roosevelt is the best possible thing for
the country.
AS bearing upon this matter, it. is gen.
orally understood that Hearst does not ex-
pect to land in the White House this
time. The Ultimate object Of the campaign
is to place Hearst in such a. position Of
strength In the convention and in the
party that he will have to be recognized
by high position in the event of demo-
cratic success this time and by the nomi-
nation next time in the event Of demo-
cratic failure. -
