was nominated fOr congress BY th-

President Not Yet Sure That He Will

Oyster Bay, Sept Arrangements
for the trip of President Roosevelt
through the south practically have
been completed, except those pertain

Little Rock. On account of the pre-
valence of yellow fever in New Or

until a later time in which event he
would visit Little Rock a the same
time. He is being urged not to go to
New Orleans so long as the yellow
fever epidemic continues there but he
has received assurances that the fever

eral Wyman, of the public health and
marine hospital service, who has been
absent from the city on official bust
ness, is now on his way to Washington
and upon his arrival will give person
al attention to the yellow fever situa-
tiO in New Orleans.
Meantime the service under the di-
rectiOn of DIR. Glennan is cooperating
with the New Orleans authorities TO
prevent any fresh outbreak. There are
half a dozen trained members of the
force in that city, and they are now
giving their especial attention to get
ting residents away To accomplish
this and without endangering other
communities a large number of deten-
tion camps will be established outside
the New Orleans city limits. In these
refugees will be held for a sufficient
time to protect those with whom they
may later come incontact.

TEXAS OIL FIELD A
BLAZING FURNACE
Nearly a Mile Square Covered
With Burning Fluid.
THE LIST OF DEAD NUMBER FIVE
Many Hundreds of People Are Home
less-Lightning Struck Large Tank
and lgnited the OiI-AlI Efforts to
Subdue Flame Futile.

Humble, Tex, July 24.-Covering an
area of three quarters of mile square
with a great smoke covering two
square miles, the oil tanks of the Tex
as company continue to boil and bub-
BILE under the great heat of the burn
ing Oil, the fire having burned all
night When it can be extinguished
no one guesses. Certainly not until
it has burned all of the oil in the II
big tanks, which held 100000 barrels
when lightning struck them Sunday af-
ternoon.
1t is now known that five of the
negro wOrkmen perished and the ru-
mors place the number of dead as high
as so, though this cannot be confirmed
There are hundreds of homeless people,
many of them only awaiting a train
to go to Houston for shelter They
were living in tents and shacks in the
oil fields, and fled for their lives to
the town away from danger. They left
all their belongings and fled.
During the whole of the night there
was heavy dOwnpour of rain and this
covered the ground with a sheet of wa
ter coating which is thick film of
oil. Ii this catches fire, then it is
possible that the tanks of the Guffey
company, the Sun company, and the
smaller owners may go. These tanks
hold 4 100000 barrels of OIL
Shortly after the big tank began to
blaze, 200 workmen with rs mules,
were hurried to the place to throw up
fire to the tank where it originated
Suddenly the oil gave an upheaval,
bubbled and lifted great mass of the
burning fluid bodily out of the tank
and was communicated to thre eother
of the tanks. The burning oil caught
the men and mules and hemmed them
in. There was wild scramble for
safety, the men dropping their scrapers
and reins and fleeing Some of them
mounted mules and got away, but at
least 40 of the mules baked and were
cremated. Five negroes were seen to
go down and it is not believed possi-
bic they could have escaped. While
all of the men have not been account
ed for, these five are all that are cen
tally known to have perished.
At 4 o'clock this morning fire broke
out in the steel tanks of the Texas
company at the pumping station, a
mile from the original fire. What
damage is being done cannot be ascer-
tanned yet because it is impossible to
reach that part of the field.

ANOTHER FIGHT ON FREE PASSES
Bill Will Again Come Before Present
Legislature.

Atlanta, July 24.-Interest in the ses-
sion of the house of representative
today will be heightened by the fact
that Mr.. Hall, of Bibb will make his
motion to reconsider the action of the
house in defeating the anti-free pass
bill, of which he is the author
A motion to reconsider is debatable
and it will, therefore, to a certain ex-
tent reopen the debate on the anti-pass
bill. Of course this debate is sup
posed to be limited to the reasons for
and against reconsideratiS1, but such
debate is bound to braGth out more
or less into reasons why the anti-pass
bill should or should not be passed.
There does not appear to be much
doubt that the house will vote to recon
slider, because a reconsideration re-
quires only majority of those present
and not a constitutional majority. Mr..
Hall says he is satisfied that more
than a constitutional majority of the
house is in favor of the bill, because
he has found several who were not
present when the vote was taken who
will vote for it if it comes up again.
Mr.. Anderson, of Chatham, leader Of
the opposition, takes just the other
view of the matter, and the same two
leaders with their able seconds will
probably fight it out again on the floor
this morning
The legislature has four very busy
weeks yet before it. The calendar is
piled high with general bills, the large
majority of which will not get any
where near to vote
The general appropriations bill, the
general tax act, both of which must
be passed, the new county legislation
and few departmental bills which
will demand consideration, are enough
to keep the general assembly more
than busy during these four weeks,
and yet there are many other measures
of general Importance which will be
brought up for consideration as the op-
portunity arrives.
AS a matter of fact, the house will
have at least all of the present week
for the consideration of any general
measures that may come up on the cal
endar, because neither the appropria.
tions or the tax bill will be ready be-
fore the end Of the week. and the new
county bills will not be reported for at
least Two weeks yet and perhaps more.

Dispute Over the Recent Rupture of
Norway and Sweden.

Dispute Over the Recent Rupture of
Norway and Sweden.
New York, July 24.-Two men dying
and a third seriously wounded was the
outcome of an argument in Brooklyn
early today between four Swedes
about the secession of Norway from
Sweden. The men who are dying in a
hospital are Kary Anderson and John
Tromler. Ole Ludwig was seriously
hurt. Victor Linquist was captured
after chase by the police who chased
him in a trolley car. He Is charged
with having done the shooting. 1t is
learned by the police the men all init
mate friends, met for a dinner ct the
hotel. After beginning an argument
about the proper course to be taken
by their country in the present crisis,
Linquist taking one side and the three
against. The talk became bitter and
was continuing as they left the house
to go to the ferry nearby. Suddenly
it is alleged that Linquist turned on
his countrymen and the shooting be-
gun.
The prisoner strenuously denied
the charge when he was locked up
pending hearing.
