ITALIAN MURDERER
HAS DISAPPEARED

Mi!linocket Me-. Oct. 2.-The unidenti-
fed Italian who Is alleged TO have killed
Angus Grant. formerly OF Bangor. In the
settlement known as Little Italy last
night, had not been apprehended early
today. A heavy rain during the night
made II impossible for Deputy Sheriff
Gates TO make thorough search, but
every effort was made today. As there
are several hundred Italians living and
working In this vicinity and as they are
known only by numbers and have much
the same appearance, the task OF picking
out the alleged murderer was found TO
be very difficult. The shooting followed
a quarrel between Grant and the Italian.

OUNCE JOE" HAS
NO OPPOSITION
Smooth Sailing Again for the Veteran Speaker-Some In
teresng Incidents Recalled Regarding Contests for the
DictatoriaI Office Of the Lower House Of Congress.

Reed was returned to the speakers
chair without opposition in Decem-
ber. 1895, and again when the next
congress convened in 1897.
Reeds announcement of his re-
tirement from the House Immediately
resulted in the beginning of an open
fight among the various aspirants
for the honor of being his successor.
Many candidates appeared, among
them Cannon and Hopkins of Illinois,
Sherman and Payne Of New York,
Henderson of Iowa and Dalzell of
Pennsylvania.
BY a species of wire-pulling hat
has always been a source of wonder
ment to the people of Illinois Hopkins
secured control of the delegation
, from that state and became their
official candidate. Uncle Joe" was
the most popular man in the House,
and except for the opposition of his
colleagues from Illinois, would un-
doubtedly have been selected at that
time. The action of the Illinois con-
gressmeh in declaring for Hopkins,
as against Cannon, aroused the re-
sentiment of the members from other
states and. in order to defeat Hop
kins, they agreed upon Dave Hen

place several months before congress
convened. and the name of the Iowa
man was the only one presented at
the caucus. Hopkins had successfully
played the part of the dog in the
manger and in this he incurred the
resentment of the people of his home
state. The political memory is no.
toriously short, however, and Hop
kins was later rewarded with a SEN
atorial toga.
After serving two years, Hender-
son suddenly announced his with
drawal. Why he did this remains
one of the congressional mysteries
that have never been solved. Long
before the Fifty-eight congress as
sembled Uncle Joe" Cannon had be-
come the unanimous choice of the
state delegations and Republican
members from every part of country.
He was again elected to the speaker
