LEADERS SHOCKED
AT THE RuMoR THAT GOVERNOR
DOUGLAS IS TO CUT LOOSE
FROM HIS PARTY.

BOSTON. Mass, Aug. 2s.-The
Journal this morning says: Demo
cratic leaders who for a week now
have been trying hard to sit up and
look pleasant under the new attitude
of Governor Douglas. were given a
distinct shock yesterday. A rumor,
creditable in many ways, but still
only rumor. has reached them that
the proposition has been put up to the
governor to cut loose from the party
organization entirely and that II he
decides to stand as candidate, to do
1t in his own right.
In other words, 1t Is said, the plan
proposed is to ignore the State COM
mittee and the State convention as
well. and to have him go before the
people primarily on nomination pa.
pers. to be signed by some OF the
biggest business men in the State.
Under the law only 1000 signatures
are required to nominate man for
governor and secure the presence of
his name on the official ballot.

There have been many-,nps- and

points to peaceful solution of the
problem that has occupied the minds
of the representatives for the two
governments here for three weeks,
and has held the attention of the ciy-
ilized world. What the outcome will
be is problematical.
The Japanese plenipotentiaries
speak in confident terms while the
Russians, protesting ignorance of the
decision reached by the Toxic coun.
Gil, still shake their heads ominously.
The prompt action of the Japanese
government in passing upon the rains

Mir. Roosevelt Says confidentially That He Does Not Expect to Tackle Any Bears With Bare
 Hands.

New Castle Colo, April 15.-President Roosevelt and his hunting party reach ed this famous outfitting point for the hunting and fishing grounds on the White river at 7:5O a. m. today, and waited more than two hours for official mail that had been sent to Red Stone, where it had been intended that the seat of govern ment should be while the President was away in the mountains hunting bear, bob cats and other game.
 But the time here was pleasantly occu- pied. The President shook hands with 8 majority of the 400 citizens of the village after he had been introduced by George H. Norris, Mayor of New Castle, who announces on his card that he does black smithing and wagon making. The party was photographed the President made a brief address, shook hand with the train crew and viewed the specially decorated engine that drew his train from Colorado Springs.

VOTE OF CENSURE
 FOR PREMIER TISZA
forthcoming Address to Crown Is Awaited With Interest In
 Budapest.

Budapest April 15.-The lower house of the diet today passed the motion of Herr Eotvof for a vote of censure on Former Premier Tisza for being actuated by poli- tical motives in raising the pension of the late president of the house, Perszel von Bonyhad from $1GOo to S3000 The mo- tion was carried by large majority. The house then adjourned until May when the independent party's address to the crown comes up for discussion Tine ad, dress is practically a platform of the united opposition, and it's discussion is liable to give rise to heated debate un- less a solution of the ministerial crisis Is discovered meanwhile. The united op- position shows no signs of weakneing in it's demands, or of disintergration, and neither does the crown give evidence of a tendency to withdraw from it's previous utterances or attitude. The situation con- sequently is serious to say the least.
 Hungary feels she Is now combating Austria politically for the recognition of certain external rights which mean much to her national existence the loss of which would seriously threaten her fu- ture independence. It is believed in we'll informed quarters here however, that some compromise will be reached between Hungary and the crown before the ad- dress comes up for discussion.

 Under the circumstances many rumors take shape In St. Petersburg aside from those relating to encounters with the Japafese at various places and with vary ing results, but the most fanciful is that saying that the Baltic squadron met and engaged two British cruisers under the impression that they were Japanese and sank them.
