Mt these elections Mr. Culiom, eX-Gov-
ernor Richard Yates and William G..
Webster. The Democrats had no can
didate for senator. The voters at the
primaries OF both parties were privi-
legged to say by their ballots who
should be their nominees from senator
and congressman down to sheriff. In
the ease of the senatorShip the Re
publican voters decided to retain Mr..
Cullom ih the seat which he has occu-
pied 50 long. The legislature is usu-
ally Republican. and in case the next
body is Of that complexion the major
ity will be bound morally, if not legal
ly, 10 respect the instructions given
at the pr.Garics,.
Senator Cullom is one Of the veter-
ans of the senate. He was born in
1920 and hls been in politics fifty
years, for he was Il presidential elector
on the Fillmore ticket in 1896. He en-
tered congress- in 1860 and was pro-
NOTED to the senate in 1888, when he
succeeded David Davis, independent
Democrat.
Senator Cullom's father was farm
er. The schools Of that time did not
provide the youth of young Cullom's
vicinity with advanced educational OPP
portunities. and when the future sen
ator decided on the law as his profess
sion the question arose how to obtain
the funds for seeking instruction ut
schools distant from his home. He pre-
vailed upon his father TO lend him a
team of oxen and a plow, and with this
primitive outfit began the battle of
life on his own responsibility and en-
gagged at breaking prairie at 50 per
acre. He earned enough in this way to
begin the pursuit of advanced studies
and prepare for his public career.

LONGWORTH TELLS OF
EUROPEAN TRIP.
He Found Nothing but Friendly
Feeling and Respect for America.

New York, Aug. 16.-Nicholas
Longworth came to town to confer
with James Sherman, chairman of
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee, about the outlook for CON
gressional nominations in Ohio and
to see several intimate friends whom
he had not seen since his departure
for Europe on his honeymoon. He
expressed confidence that he would
be renominated in his Ohio district
for the House of Representatives,
and Mr., Sherman agreed with him.
There has never been any doubt OF
the election of the nominee from Mr..
Longworth's district, because 1t is
normally 5000 Republican.
"Our trip abroad was very pleas
ant in every way" Mr.. Longworth
said. eve saw a great many things
of interest and were delighted with
the cordiality shown us. l was in
terested particularly in the House of
Commons, in England, and met
many of the members on both sides.
81 did not find any of the anti
American sentiment which some no.
table Americans have recently dis
covered on the other side. On the
contrary, l found everyone extreme
ly friendly to this country. Wherever
we went we found only the pro-
foundest respect and admiration for
America and everything American.
Industrially they regard us as phe-
nomenal, and politically and socially
they have nothing but respect. Our
prosperity and capacity for develop
ment are amazing to Europeans.
THE beef exposures created a
sensation in England, and for time
there was much talk concerning
them. But gradually the feeling Of
resentment died out and | do not
think the incident will have any
lasting effect upon the American
beef business. In Germany and
France | heard practically nothing
about the exposure.
Asked about Mr.. Bryan's recep-
tion in Europe, Mr.. Longworth said:
81 heard Mr.. Bryan make his
Fourth of July speech in London,
and apropos of this let me say that
there was considerable comment over
the fact that he read from manu-
script. 1t was a disappointment to
me. l had told several persons who
were to attend the function that in
Mr.. Bryan they would see and hear
typical American orator, with the
American manner, fervor of speech
and free delivery. You can fancy my
surprise when he unfolded a manu-
script and began to read. 1t caused
much comment at the time"
Mr.. Longworth said he would go
to Cincinnati in a day or two with
Mrs. Longworth and remain there
until after the Ohio Congressional
elections.

CUBAN INsURRECTION SERIOUS.
First Battle of Rivals Fought; !;
Commander Killed.

Havana, Cuba, Aug. 22.-The Gu
ban revolution is now an actual fact,
acknowledged, however, reluctantly
by the Cuban government The CON
ditions are peculiar. 1t cannot be
called liberal party movement, for
while the liberal party as a whole
dislikes and opposes the present
Palma administration, a majority of
the party would not participate in
movement which involved American
Intervention.
The situation is very serious, ow-
ing to the fact that all of those par
ticipating were famous in the late
war for military prowess. The num-
ber of insurgents it estimated at
1000 or 1900 men.
The first important formal battle
occurred near Hoyo Colorado,
wherein Lieutenant Rogue, of the
Rural Guard, was killed and several
others were wounded. Eight rurals
were captured. The combat oc-
Cured with insurgents commanded
by General Quentin Bandera. Gen
eral Emilio Nunez, Governor of the
province of Havana, led the govern
ment forces. He returned to Havana
and when seen by a correspondent
said:
THE situation is serious"
Asked if there were casualties, he
answered.
Yes, wounded and everything
else"
Upon his return he was closeted
a long time with President Palma.
Hoyo Colorado is within twenty
miles of Havana. The battle oc-
Cured on the Santa Lucia sugar
plantation, the property of an Ameri-
can citizen named Rafael Doniphan.
Many arrests occurred in Havana,
including several revolutionary gen.
erals, colonels and lieutenants. All
were sent to Jail and held incom-
municado.
Rebel proclamations have been
freely distributed among all the sol
diers, calling on them not to resist if
an attempt is made to overthrow the
Republic. The proclamation prom
ises a new democratic government,
wherein there will not be the pres
ent exclusiveness which the State
has assumed in President Palma's
administration.
