 Dr. Cunningham stated to The AaVer- tiser's representative that ne was de- lighted with the reception ne hao re, ceived from the voters in Colbert, ana expressed bimself as exceedingly hope full of the outlook. He has made friends and greatly strengthened ms candidacy in Colbert and Is willing to leave his cause in the hands or the in- teiligert and sturdy Democrats or tnis county. His speeches have been eio quent, forceful and convincing, anu his hearers have given him the closest attention and accorded him most respectful hearing at every one or ms four appointments His speech at Sheffield last night, and that at rus cumbia tonight, were two of the pest political speeches ever heard Tn Coi- bert county, and so pronounced py many Of those who oppose him. mere is no question that the doctor IS one of the most brilliant speakers In the State, and never fails to enthuse ana delight his audiences.

 Colbert Is fighting ground, however, and 1t can not he denied that MT. Co- nner has strong and influential fol" lowing. On the other hand Cunning hams friends are as loud In tneir claims for their favorite.

 Chicag( lay 25.--A dispatch to The Tribune@ Washington says:
 The ion of some of the pack ing ho,M tt Chicago were severely criticis,& President Roosevelt yes- terday d an interview he had with NflIianW dinner and W. I. Carlisle, rcprese,A the live stock interests of the couM and Representatives Mad don of 70, Cox of New York, and Broks rado.
 Mir. S..N Is the representative Of the Union Stock Yards at Chicago. and Mir Carlisle is Dean of the National Ag- ricultural College of Colorado. These men. in accordance with the request of live stock interests all over the country, conferred with the packers on Monday. and then came to Washington to see the President.
 The President announced that he proposed to see conditions. of which complaints have been made in the packing houses, changed as promptly as possible; that the buildings should be remodeiled in order to obtain better ventilation and more light; that ample toilet facilities should be pro- vsded for employees far enough re- moved from the rooms in which meat was prepared for food to prevent con- tAmination, and that there should be Iavatories to insure personal cleanii- ness.
 Speaking for the live stock interests and for the packers, Mir. skinner as- sured the President that the packers had authorised him to state that If the President would appoint a commission or high grade scientific sanitation ex- perts. including one practical men vers- cd in inspection and animal husbandry, they would be glad to adopt any sug- gestions the commission might make for improvements or changes, not only in the method of slaughtering. hut to sanitary conditions of packing houses.
 Mir Skinner went a step further than thr . packing houses proposed. He = d the President to appoint a na- f al sanitary commission which lld be authorized to deal with the
 ole subject of food products. He
 presented that 1t was unfair to single at one industry to the exclusion of all thers, and make 1t a subject of criti- -scism so as to injure 1t throughout the world.
 The Presidents concern, however, is to secure fresh, clean. uncontaminated meat for the American people and to remove the suspicion which exists abroad regarding our meat products. and which necessarily affects the extent of the sales. He assured his callers that he was most anxious the industry should not be disastrously affected. At the same time he said he intended to see that proper sanitary conditions ex- tsted, and he wanted 1t to be distinct ly understood once these conditions were established. he would not permit sny let up in their enforcement.

Captain Bravo commanding, has sunk
OFF the Florida coast. One OF the ex-
tension steamers arrived in port FRI

quilted the island. He says there were
$50 residents on the island. all of
whom were lost. The st. Lucie was
crushed by the same wave, and OF the
100 passengers on board twenty-five
were killed. Captain Bravo was seri-
ously injured.
