Washington. July 12.-Senatoi
Blackburn's close friends here do not
believe that he will be a candidate for
governor this year. Their reason for
holding this opinion is found in con-
versatlon the senior senator had with
one of his intimate friends Just be-
fore leaving here for the summer. The
senator was asked what his intention
was regarding the governorship.
81 do not expect TO run for governor
at the primaries this year or the regu-
lar election year hence" Mr.. Black
burn replied. 81 am not as young as
used to be, and do not feel equal
TO making the fight. II had any am
bition to be governor | would have ia
start to work at once and campaign
continuously for four months before
the primaries. Then, IL successful
the contest will be only begun. The
campaign between the Democrat
nominee and the Republican candi-
date for governor next year will be hot
This will mean another years hard

WRECKED STEAMER
BURNS NEAR BANK
Quincy Strikes Shore on the
Upper Mississippi.
Two Hundred Passengers Have Mar
row Escape and But One
Drowning Is Known.
ACCIDENT IN THE DARKNESS

La Crosse. Wis, July IA Nearly
all the 200 passengers on the steam
er Quincy at 1890 o'clock last night,
narrowly escaped death when the big
packet struck the bank in the dark
near Trempealeau. Wis, turned half
over and then caught fire.
1t is believed that the majority OF
the passengers were saved and only
one drowning is definitely known,
that of an infant which was dashed
from its mothers arms.
At 1920 this morning a belated
train brought 60 passengers who
were on the boat to this city.
About 1920 the steamer plying
up the river struck a bank, at the
time 1t is said the boat carried no
searchllght.
One passenger says he saw babe
washed overheard from It's mothers
arms. The boat was sinking though
not in deep water.
The steamer caught fire immedl-
ately after the collision with the
bank. Amid the crashing of timbers.
with the boat on its side, the life
boats were got out and the passen-
gers were taken OF before the flames
gained any considerable Roadway.
Whether or not all the passengers
were saved, 1t is impossible to ascer-
tain
