TO SUCCEED HIMSELF.
Senator Millard Announces His Inten-
ton to Be a Candidate

After careful and serious consideration, 1
think it but right to my friends in Ne
braska to say that | will be a candidate TO
succeed myself as the next Senator from
our State
This is what Senator Millard said last
night. Senator Millard made his first ap-
pearance yesterday after Il really serious
Illness. The Senator has been a very much
sicker man than has been generally under
stood. He is by means a we'll man now,
and he is going to Nebraska today.
While it has been pretty generally under
stood that Senator MIlard expected to sue
ceed himself, there has been no authorize
tiv. announcement of his position until yes
terday. w nile the Senator is not entirely
a well man at this time he believes that to
get back TO Nebraska Will bring him around
TO his usual health. After closing up buSi-
ness which will keep him here for twenty
four hours, he will go back to the state in
which he has lived since d hoy
Although hardly capable of doing any work
so far as his position is concerned, Senator
Mlllard called on the President Yesterday
to present the name of ChaIle les J. Greene of
Omaha as the successor to Judge Thayer
recently deceased. for the circui% bench of
the United States. While the visit TO the
President was extremely pleasant, the Pres
lGent stated that the late Judge Thayer's s
successor had been agreed upon in the per-
soI of q. A. Finkleberg of st. Louis.

UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Proposed Construction of Road Between
Highway Bridge and Arlington.

Quartermaster General Humphrey is
favotably considering proposition made by
Virginia commission for the construction
of good road from the Virginia end of the
new Highway bridge to the Sheridan gate
of the National cemetery at Arlington. 1t
is argued that such roadway would be a
great convenience for funeral professions
and tourists desiring to visit the Arlington
reservation, as such road would be much
shorter and more direct from this city than
the present route over the Aqueduct bridge
and by way OF the Fort Myer reservation
Plans have been prepared for number
of improvements contemplated at Fort Myer
which will greatly enhance the beauty OF
the drive to that post and to the Arlington
National cemetery from this city. These
improvements include the levelinS of the
banks and the sodding of the slopes of
the approaches to that post and the rema-
cadamizing of the military road.

ST PETERSBURG, May >l3.-The ap

Cassini as Russian ambassador to the
United States has not yet been gazetted,
and the press here generally is in ignorance
of his approaching mission to Washington.
Commenting upon Count Cassinis success

Bourse Gazette considers the post at
Washington one of the most difficult and

Europe must listen TO her on every impor-

desired.
The old friendship between the two pep
pies has been disturbed by incidents unex-

apparently failed to notice the switchboard,
which was in a dark corner of the building.
near the safe. The explosion, which blew
off the outer door of the safe, set every tel
ephone bell on the switchboard to ringing
The burglars evidently believed they
had been trapped by Il gigantic burglar
alarm. and rushed out of the store and
ran down the street in the direction of the
railroad without stopping to examine the
contents of the safe. The safe contained
several hundred dollars and lot Of pos
tage stamps, which were left Untouched
the store fixtures and set fire to a heap OF
ready made clothing. The flames were ex-
tinguished in time to save the building.
A number of citizens who were aroused
by the explosion started in pursuit OF them

latest one resulting in the death of two
men. took place at Hydetown, village just

A fast freight, No. 6S, running down grade

hill. The huge engines clsnbed into the
air. Many loaded cars piled up about them,
effectualy blocking all travel for many
hours The men who escaped injury i'm
medately set to work to rescue the less
fortunate. The body of the dead engineer
was taken from the wreck. The fireman
was still alive. He hurried to the
