beleaguered garrison and inhabitants
were reduced by famine to the extrem-
ity of feeding on rats. cats and other
animals to sustain life.
LUCKNOW was beSiegcd during the
Sepoy war in 1857. 1t lasted only four
months But it holds a place in his
tory as one of the most remarkable of
modern Sieges, because of the small
ness of the garrison and the indomit-
able courage it displayed against over
wheiming odds and the intensity of it's
sufferings from famine and disease.

The investment by the republican army

only three months. Shortly after the
siege began the garrison was re-en-
forced by l,500 new troops but they en-

ian army under Spinola was laying
siege at the time TO the neighboring
city of Ostend he could give Sluys no
assistance. Motley, in The New

city had become horrible The same
hideous spectacle was exhibited as on
all occasions where thousands of hui

saddles and old shoes, and, when all
was gone, they began to eat each other.

relief" But Spinola was too much en-

give any heed to the calls of Sluys for
help. and in another months the latter
capitulated- The garrison was allowed

Sanitarium Committee Will Not Come
Till the Last of the Week.-To
Leave e. Paso Tonight.

Leave K FdSO mgr
Secretary Graham. of the Roswell
Commercial Club, has received word
that the committee for the National
Fraternal Sanitarium will not be
here before the asst of the present
week. They were first announced to
come on the 22nd. Then their visit
was postponed until Thursday. Now
it is put off until the last of the week,
and 1t is not known exactly when they
will be here. They might come Sat
urday. Sunday or Monday. 1t is be
lieved probable that they will be here
on Sunday.
The postponement is exactly what
the local entertainment committee
wished. The extra time will give an
opportunity for the roads to dry and
thus the visitors can be better enter
tanned and more easily. The visitors
are to be given a carriage ride all
over Roswell and vicinity, and it will
require good roads to enable them TO
cover a representative part OF this
locality. Several carriages have been
offered Secretary Graham for use on
the day the committee comes to town,
but If there are other pu~blic-spirited
citizens who have rigs they could
lend for use on that day. they should
notify the secretary at once.

TO WINDWARD AND BACK.
Another Race for the Seawanhaka
Cup.

DORVAL. Quebec. July 24.-The crews
of the rival yachts contending for the pos
session of the Seawanhaka cup took unusual
care to see that their respective boats
were in the best of condition before launch
ing them for today's race. The American
challenger Manchester was placed in the
water early In the day and given pre-
lminary trial, although apparently no
change had been made In her rigging or
sails. Alexandra, the Royal ST. Lawrence
Yacht Clubs defender, was kept In dry
dock until nearly noon. With two victories
to her credit. the Manchester rules ia
vorite, but the showing made by Alexan-
dra in Saturdays light wind demonstrated
that the American boat had worthy con-
tender under those conditions.
The course for today's race was the same
as Saturdays. a two-mile run straight
away to windward and return, to be sailed
three times over. The wind was kicking
up whitecaps on Lake st. Louis at noon
and there were suggestions of an approach
ing storm. giving promise of conditions re-
garded as favorable to the Manchester.

SUGGESTED FOR THE SENATE.
Talk Of Thomas F. Ryan Succeeding
Daniel.

There Is no unusual interest shown in
Virginia In the suggestion that Thomas F.
Ryan may become a candidate for senator
from that state to succeed Senator Daniel,
whose term will not expire until six years
from last March. The people and poll
ticians of the state are so absorbed In the
gubernatorial campaign now In progress
and which will be settled In primary cleo
ton a month from now that they are CIV
ing little concern to the subject of sue
cessor to Senator Daniel six years away.
There is friendly feeling for Mr.. Ryan
throughout the state. however He re-
mains identified with the business and poll
tics of the commonwealth. retains a voting
residence there and takes a keen interest
in all that is going on. He is one of the
great Wall street forces whose democracy
is consistent He showed his loyalty to
his party last year by sticking to 1t in the
face of dark prospects and contributing
personally and financially to the cause
He was a delegate from the state to St.
Louis and voted and worked for Parker for
the democratic nomination. believing that
the quickest way to revive the party was
to get it back to old doctrines.
The chief interest of Virginians in the
talk as to Mr.. Ryan relates to Senator
Daniel. There is a pretty well defined
impression among those close to senator
Daniel that he does not intend to stand
for another term In the Senate, not that
he would have any fears of securing an
other six years, but that he has concluded
to retire from public life in 1911. He was
elected to the senate to succeed William
Malone and took his seat In that body
March 4, 1887. When he finishes his term
he will have been in the senate twenty
four years. He was in the House Of Rep
resentatives from Virginia prior to that
and in 1881 he was the democratic nominee
for governor. In fact he has been In poll
tics ever since the close of the war, having
been elected to the Virginia house of dele
gates In 1869 and staying there until 1872
shortly after which he was elected to the
state senate. He has been honored by his
state for over thirty-five years.
The earnest fight of Representative Swan
son for governor Is believed by many to be
made with the knowledge that he will stand
a good chance of succeeding Senator Daniel.
He Is a warm friend of the Virginia senator
and would not oppose him for the senate
under any circumstances. AS governor,
though he would be in line for the senate
should Senator Daniel decide to retire from
public life.
The fact that Mr.. Ryan has immense
wealth would not help him in fight for
the senate in Virginia, 1t is agreed by all
Virginians who have talked about him and
his political prospects. II anything. 1t
might operate to his prejudice The men
who are sent to Washington to represent
the old state, 1t is claimed, are selected
for every other reason than the one Of
money.
