RYAN BOOMING DANIEL
ALEXANDER TRoUP SAYS SEN
AToR Is PLAYING WITH TOOLS.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, May 24.-Alexan-
der Troup said regarding Senator Daniels
candidacy for the presidency:
The talk about Senator John w Daniel
as presidential candidate is evidently in
splred by Thomas F. Ryan, who wishes to
succeed Mr.. Daniel as United States SEN
ator from Virginia. 1t remains to be seen
whether Mr.. Daniel desires to crafty the
aspirations of Ryan by permitting him to
step into his senatorial shoes In exchange
Tor his name being exploited as possible
presidential candidate Of the democratic
party from the south.
News comes to me from New York that
Mr.. Ryan, with his attorneys for his vari-
GUS interests. together with Alton B. Par
ker and George Ehret the brewer, held a
secret meeting in the rooms of the National
Democratic Club in 9Th avenue, President
Fox of the club being one of the partici-
pants. The meeting was for the purpose
OF financing the boom of Senator Daniel his
personal representative, Judge Duke of Vir-
ginia. being present.
''Ex-Judge Morgan ]. o'Brien, one of the
Ryan attorneys and connected with the
gested as the democratic candidate for
governor Of New York. and Chairman Con-
ners of the New York state committee hay-
Ing failed to get from Mr.. Hearst the $780,
wv uS 10 Sstlu u nave advanced IN the cam
paign for Hearst, 1t was said that Corners
was out for blood and that he has made
political deal with Attorney General Jack
son that Morgan J, OBrien will be the gu
bernatorial candidate of the democratic
party, and the present democratic state Of
fcers will be renomInated. Ryans attor-
neys are to push the Daniel boom in New
York, and Daniel and his friends are to
look after Ryan's senatorial aspirations in
Virginia.
Senator Daniel Is playing with two
edged political tools, and is liable to get
cut"

CHASED A BURNING TRAIN.
Railroad Men Didn't Know Express
Was Ablaze Till Firemen Came.


NEW YORK, May 24.-The police and
fire departments last night had - deal with
the problem of finding fast train on fire
and they succeeded after some quick work
by telephone. The Buffalo and Cleveland
express on the New York Central which left
the Grand Central station at pm, was
passing 96th street when a woman looking
out Of the window noticed that the hood
over the front platform of the buffet car,
which was next to the electric engine, was
ablaze There were ten cars in the train
The woman ran to the nearest telephone
and notified police headquarters that a
train was going north on fire.
Police headquarters at once notifie1 fire
hall and the latter sent word to Engine
Company No. 80, at 126th street and Park
avenue, that a fire was coming their way.
The engine company passed the alarm along
to Hook and Ladder Company No. ia, In
125th street near Park avenue. They turned
out at once and reached the railroad station
at 125th street just as the express train
pulled in.
1t was not until the train came to a stop
and the firemen began to climb up on the
elevated structure that the trainmen
was on fire. Within stopping of the car
and the arrival of the irefghters most of
the passengers left the train and stood
about while the fire was put out. There
was no excitement and the passengers
seemed to view the incident with amuse-
ment.
A chemical engine soon put the fire out
and after delay of about Fine minutes
the express was again on us wa. to Buff
falo.

TALKED TO COTTON MEN
CHIEF CARsoN's ADDRESS AT
CONVENTION IN NORFOLK.

NORFOLK, Va, May 23.-John M. Car
son. chief of the bureau of manufactures,
was the principal speaker before the inter-
state cotton seed crushers' convention here
today. Major Carson predicted that the
time will come when foreign outlets will
have to sought for the products Of our
factories and mills and particularly cotton
rills, because Of the extent to which
American Industrial energies have been de-
veloped. The exploitation of foreign mar
kets, he said, is of the utmost concern
owing to the large and increasing output
of our factories. After securing foothold
in the foreign market the products of
American factories must be held there by
intrinsic merit and persistent enterprise.
Major Carson then pointed out how to Sc
cure foreign markets for American products
and the way to hold that trade. He urged
the necessity of having representatives in
foreign countries to represent them who
r-st, he said, possess thorough knowl-
edge of local requirements. and the char
acteristics Of the people. To sell manu-
featured products in foreign lands. he said,
conditions and be of such character and
form as will be adapted to local needs and
agreeable to popular taste.
The Cotton Seed Industry.
1.-THE cotton seed industry presents great
er attractions" said Major Carson, land
offers greater possibilities in the immed-
late future for enlargement in foreign mar
vets than many others Of our principal
industries. If 1t were more generally
known in the United States that the best
cotton-seed oil is equal in purity and health
fulness to olive oil. the demand for cotton
oil at home would expand to point that
would seriously interfere with the profits
of these manufacturers of olive Oil in
France, Italy and Spain, who find cotton
oil SO profitable in the the conduc, Of their
business. Our manufacturers of cotton oil
might profitably direct their efforts to
bringing their product to the attention Of
the American people.
IF our own people were maze familiar
with the real qualities of cotton seed oil,
very much of the olive Oil now imported
would be permanently displaced, and very
much Of the animal fats now SO extensively
used in the preparation of food would be
expelled from American kitchens. sug-
gest that the producers of cotton-seed
products, through the agency Of the In
terstate Cotton-Seed Crushers Association,
perfect plans for exploiting their manufac-
lures not only in foreign, but in domestic
markets, and for maintaining their integ-
rity and protecting them against question
able practices, which 1t Is alleged lave at
tended few recent shipments to Europe"

tectives learned that the man had fire.

wife of Senator Thomas c. Platt to sell her
home, Tioga Lodge, in Highland Mills. He
said he had for years been a close friend
of Mrs. Platt; as we'll of her husband,
and that he had frequently made invest
ments for her. He boosted of his friend

Among bookmakers there was report
last night that Boeck was the mysterious
source of food of money which poured
into the betting ring to back Roseben, the
favorite in the Metropolitan handicap at
Belmont Park on May 10. Boeck was a
frequenter of the track, having become in
