which became extinct millions of years ago, though the resemblance to those monsters is striking. More probably it will prove to be some bizarre form of reptile. But the re- semblance between the descriptions given by these gentlemen and that given by the officers of the Daedalus agrees too closely to be passed by, and furthermore, both agree with the description of a similar creature seen oil Tonquin some four years since. It is possible that it may even prove to be serpent" For it is we'll known that the land-snakes once possessed limbs, and some gigantic forms of sea snake may well have preserved its limbs, though now transformed into paddles, like those of the turtle and whale.

Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston, who
will be in command of the 5000
troops TO be transported to Cuba
for the prospective Cuban invasion,
left Washington at 3:45 o'clock yes
terday afternoon over the Atlantic
Coast Line for Tampa, Fla, where
he viii board a Government vessel

Secretary William II. Taft in con-
ference.
General Funston arrived at the
Pennsylvania station, accompanied
by his aide. Lieut.. B. J. Mitchell,
Twelfth Infantry. and a Secret Sery-
ice man. Looking the picture of
health, and with a smile playing
about his face, not seeming TO be-
tray any feeling of weighty re-
sponsibiHty in the great mission he
is 10 fulfill, he strode into the
crowded station, and passed through
the throng without attracting much
attention. In fact, his diminutive
and stocliIy built form could hardly
be observed beneath the heads of
others, and few realized for the mo-
ment. that the most talked of man
of the hour in the United States
army was around. He wore a light
flannel suit and looked as fresh as
if he had just jumped from a band
box. Soon he edged through the
crowd and was quickly escorted
through the gates.
Before he reached his train. waiting

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 22.-Five or
more negroes were killed here in a
race riot tonight, resulting from as
saults on white women.
The city is in a turmoil, and all
police have been called out.
Mounted police are riding through
the streets, commanding the people
to disperse. The whole force is on
duty.
The governor was asked to call
out the militia, but the companies
were sot scattered through the city
that it was impossible to form them.
At 1880 o'clock the governor has
asked the Government to order out
three companies of United States
soldiers. which viii likely be done.
Another attempted criminal as
sault took place at o'clock this
evening. Mrs. Frank Arnold, resid-
ing near Bellwood avenue, on Julian
street, was the victim. The negro
escaped.
This makes three criminal as.

of Atlanta are infuriated beyond

DANGEROUSLY ILL

BRIG. GEN. FREDERICK FUNSTON.

Col. Isaac r. Hnl, known to every
member OF Congress for a generation
as Ike Hiu of Ohio. is dangerously
III al the Loud0un apartment house on
East Capitol street. There is no man
better known in Congressional circles.
and his quaint sayings have been re-
peated year after year by members and
visitors, when they returned home from
sessions Of the House.
Ike EuH has been a philosopher as
well as a politician. and his wit. stories.
and unique criticism Of men and things
have all had a flavor of the long ago
enough to make them relIshed like old
wine In his youth Ike Hin was a
village character in the eastern part
Of Licking county, Ohio, not far from
Newark
He grew up rather Wild and intent on
getting the most out Of life. He was
fond of cards and good horses, but
never failed to take part IN politics.
Because Of his sporting proclivities, Ike
could never figure as a candidate be-
fore the people.
Never Asked for Office.
Even long before he had turned his
back on cards. he did not ask any cleo
tive office. but at every Ohio conveu-
ton of the Democratic party for forty
years Ike HiH was present and usually
he was a delegate from Licking county.
Year after year he was a member OF
the Democratic State central committee
and was once chairman.
DOorkeeper in the House.
Away back IN the seventies he came to
washington as a doorkeeper in the
House. The Congressman who brought
4 him here has long since been forgotten,
! but each succeeding Congressman from

/ Ike HnI, and to heed his homely ad-
monitions as coming from father.

Speculation as 20 who win be the next
Republican candidate for President is
perhaps academicaIly interesting, bat lit
is of no real value. The next candidate
will be Theodore Roosevelt, unless al
the guessers have gone wrong.
Exactly what is in the Presidents own
mind on this question is, OF course, the
matter of first concern. If he wants
another term II is altogether likely that
his most effective plan for getting it is
to keep his desire in the background, and
proceed with a policy that will make
