ROOSEVELT FOR SENATE.
Talk of His Desire to Succeed Plat
Revived

Oyster Bay Aug. 9S-If President
Roosevelt is planning to succeed Nj.
Platt the United States senate in.
1909, was reported from the political
2os sips headquarters in New York
yesterday afternoon, no confirmation
of the story was obtainable at the ex-
ec,utive office. Neither could a denial
be secured. Secretary Loeb refused to
yond remarking that it was "a pretty
OLD yarn and the weather was hot.
Il do not intend to bother the pres
ident with any political rumors this
summer" said the secretary, and il
he learns Of this story it will not be
thru me. The year 1909 will take care
of it's own political troubles when it
comes. Just now we are living in
1907"
The succession story is not new
piece Of political prophecy by any
means. 1t has appeared in various
forms at various times since the night
Of last election, when the president
said positively that he would not be
candidate to succeed himself The gos-
sips and know-it-all have felt COM
PEELED to plan up some sort of a future
for the president after his present term
expires, and as Mr. Platt is a feeble old
man and out of the race himself, the
senate was naturally one of the first
places the representations hit upon.
The fact that the president has
sometimes said to his intimates during
his frequent tussles with congress, I'D
Just like to be in the senate" or I'D
like to be in the house to fight this
thing on the floor" has given the fu-
ture makers an opportunity to assert
with more or less show Of probability
that if the opportunity offered. the
president would gladly accept a seat in
the senate. He made a brilliant record
in the New York legislature. and there
is every reason to believe that If the
political or patriotic necessity arose he
would make even greater record in
the more important lawmaking body.

had employed his soldiers to guard the
town from an Arab attack, manning the
walls, guarding the gates and patrol
ling the neighborhood of the big Eng
lish stores. Perfect order was kept
within the town. The governor, the
correspondent says. did conscientiously
all he could to secure the towns safety.
After describing the landing of the
first French detachment preceding
these incidents, the correspondent
says:
Immediately after the first shot was
fired ashore, the French cruiser Cali
lee, as if it We're a sign of resistance
for which 1t was waiting. opened fu-
rious cannonade, and not until then did
the governor and the soldery take a
hand. altho 1t was poor resistance
they were able to make The Moorish
fire was silenced in twenty minutes,
but the Galilee began reshelling."
The dispatch is somewhat vague,
but implies the governors surrender
and appeal to the French consul to get
the bombardment stopped temporarily
was successful. but the shelling began
again for reasons not stated.
1t seems. according to the story told
by the correspondent, that If the
French had wanted for other ships to
join the Galilee and landed an impos-
ing force the slaughter and rapine
might have been avoided, for he says:
Ever since the Galilees arrival TIE
British and other residents with large
interests at stake, and with great
knowledge of the people, had impressed
upon the French authorities the ex-
treme necessity of avoiding any pre-
mature action with insufficient force.
This view with some difficulty the
French had been brought to accept.
1t was understood nothing was to be
to land enough men to take immediate
and complete possession of the town
and replace the governors policing ar
rangements, which had hitherto been
so successful in the preservation or
life and property from the Arabs
Even the night before, in announc-
ing their intention to occupy the town
in the morning. the French apparently
had believed the fleet would arrive IN
the meantime and would be able to
land an imposing force and resistance
need not be expected.
"As it afterward appeared the gov
ernor had declared his Willingness 10
surrender possession of the town, 1t
having been represented to him that
resistance would be futile. Whether
the resistance actually offered was
the result of some bungle or of individ-
ual action by a subordinate. or wheth-
er it was considered that eighty men
could be safely resisted, we must wait
to learn"
The correspondent tells the follow
ing incident: "An elderly American,
Captain Cobb who had been for many
years a resident Of the town, was in
vited by the British consul early IN
the morning. prior to the French land
ing. to come to the consulate for safe
ty. Captain Cobb declined, saying
only a few Arabs would be shot ana
it would serve them right. The con-
sui thereupon sent the legation guard
to protect Captain Cobb's house. keep
ing only two servants for his own
protection"

Rumored That Angry italian Laborers

Hanged Robber and Hid Body.
West Point N. Y, Aug. 9.-A rerort
that a lynching had occurred just out
side the governmen reservation threw
the adjoining town of Highland Falls
into considerable excitement ass
night. An Italian was said to have
been strung up to a tree by mob of
infuriated fellow countrymen after he
had assaulted and robbed one of their
number An Italian workman had left
the reservation to bring water to his
comrades from a spring in the woods
nearby and was beaten and roboed.
Later two men were arrested, and these
men are in the guard house.
Afterwards the laborers continued
the hunt for other suspects. During
the excitement the report that these
men had overtaken a highwayman and
promptly hanged him from branch
of a nearby tree reached Highland
Falls. The body, the rumor added, was
spirited away. No one in authority at
Highland Falls knew of a killing, and
the only men captured near here were
those subsequently placed in the guard

Told Truth of Killings.

Spokane. Wash. Aug. Sd. w.
Ackley, travelling guard Of the Idaho
state penitentiary at Boise, who had
charge of Harry Orchard during his
stay in that institution before and
during the Haywood trial, declares he
believes every word of the self-con-

He said while in Spokane today that
it is evident that after Orchard COM
mitted the crimes he told about he re-
ported his dongs to committee Of
the Western Federation of Miners. He
added:
so far as 1 am able to learn, Or
chard told straight story; the
reaching of the verdict freeing Hay

j. G. Hanrahan Said to Be Forming

Appleton, Wis, Aug. 9-The arrival
of John G. Hanrahan, of New York,
accompanied by his son, John G., Jr.,
and D. S. Lansing, of WatertoWn, N.
Y, an expert on paper mill machinery,
is said to mean the merger of the sew
enteen paper print mills in Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Michigan.
The arrival yesterday Of Mr.. Han
rahan, who was here two months ago
in the interest Of New York capitalists,
was somewhat of a surprise. AS soon
as he registered at a local hotel he left
Appleton for Neenah, where negotia-
tions were opened with the paper man
ufacturers Of that city. Mr.. Hanrahan
was reticent on the outcome last
night, but John S. Van Nortwick,
president Of the Five Locks Paper
Company, said the Menasha Paper
Company will be appraised at once, to
be followed by Others and that as soon
as the appraisals are finished the mer-
ger will be completed.
The combina ton will be so arranged
as not to conflict with the interstate
commerce laws, as did the General Pa

Pittsburg, Aug. 9.-George w. Dela-
mater. who committed suicide here,
carried $4,000 in insurance. In every

killed himself at the time of the great

The man who is always asking ad-
vice from everybody never takes 1T
from anybody. He is much too weak
minded even to make up his mind as
to which advice suits his mind the best
and he lives in a perpetual state of
indecision which the earnestly ex-
pressed opinions Of his friends and ac-
quainances only serve TO agsravate.
The end of such man is confusion
and disaster, which are really all that
he deserves.
