A Desperate Fight.
The attempt at Jail breaking was

superior strength of the assailant
In the struggle which followed at
ter Brown attacked the jailer, the

Not Numerous
Enough.

Toxic, July 1.-The report from
washington, attributing the proposed
sending OF sixteen battleships to the
Pacific coast to be Admiral Dewey's
private plan. is generally disbelieved
mere by those whose knowledge and
experience entities their opinion to
receive some attention.
The United States is known not to
possess navy basis in the Pacific ade-
,quate for such purposes and the i'm
preston prevails that the sending of
a large squadron where sufficient
rendezvous does not exist, would
simply mean that the vessels would
be an easy prey to torpedo boats and
destroyers.
Should sixteen battleships be so
employed as to disprove this a rec
ord breaking naval feat will have
been accomplished.
Japanese Navy o. X.
The japanese navy is in good
shape, with the addition of several
new battleships, armored cruisers,
torpedo boats and other vessels, and
Is regarded at home as able to cope
with any other navy on earth. There
has been, however, no intention of
mobillzing this navy or in any way
conveying an idea that Japan wants
war.
Government Frowns on Reports.
Reports concerning the recent Am

to create a war out OF a disturbance

The general feeling is that America
Is able to handle the interests of her
self and her citizens and that Japan
need not Interfere In any way.
Movements OF the Fleet.
Washington. d. c., July 5.-The
details of the vast movement of the
Atlantic fleet to Pacific waters have
been theoretically worked out weeks
In advance by the naval general
board, but these details are neces-
sulting from the withdrawal of bat
tieships from active commission on
account of having been declared an
tiquated, or in repairs, or the substi-
tuition OF other ships just going Into
commission and fresh from the build
ers hands
There Is in the navy department
today, scarcely any one authorized to
affirm any information as to the con-
templated fleet movement.
The opinion Of officers on duty to-
day is that tna route most feasible
for the big SHIPS is by way Of the
straits of Magellan.
The route across the Atlantic and
through the Mediterrian and Suez
canal is open - the objection tina,
1t would bring the ships almost into
Japanese waters, and such a move
ment might consequently be regard
ed as a menace, which Secretary Met
calf has stated, has never been con-
tenn plated. The SueZ route too Is
longer by a thousand miles than the
Magellan route.

Life DisCrediteG.

Pittsburg Dec. 22-Sensational reports OK
another mine disaster circulated through
out the Monongahea Valley tonight. They
had their origin in serious fire in the Schoen-
berger mine at Baird Station. between Monon-

because the miners refused to accept as pay
clearing house checks. such we're generally
used in this district for several pay days and
company officials assert that was in the
mine when the fire broke out. Reports that
twenty men entombed by the flames are
generally dscredited.

late to-day. and much damage has been done.

presumed to have started the fire. A large
force of workmen was put to work walling in
the flames in the headings to smother them and
flooding other parts of the mine. and at mid
night the company officials regarded the fire as
being under control.
Reports circulated told of explosions in this
mine. at Ellsworth and at Findayvie, but

the fire in the Schoenberger mine.

There will be a special meeting of the Repub-

Governor Hughes for the Presidential nomination
So far could be learned last night there will
be opposition to the resolution which reads as
follows:
Resolved. That the Republican Club of the City
of New York heartily indorses Governor Charles
Evans Hughes the Republican candidate for the
Presidency of the United States of America in 1908
and invites cooperation of kindred organizations
and OF the people generally throughout the city
state and nation to secure his nomination and
election.

Iican Club provide that due notice of the presenta
tion of resolutions of that character must be
given. Notice of the Hughes resolutions was of
fered at the last regular meeting, December 16
That it might not be necessary TO postpone action
the resolutions until the next monthly meeting
II unanimously decided to hold a special meet
ing tonight.
Il have question that Governor Hughes will
be indorsed for the Presidential nomination most
heartily" said F. r. Finch. chairman of the
paign committee of the club. last night. IT have
not heard a single expression of opposition to the
resolution. which sprang not from any committee
bu the house. AS matter of fact. I do
not believe any would dare TO block the reso-
luton"
The same influences that obtain in the County
Committee do not prevail in the Republican Club.
and 1t is not thought that any OF the opponents of
Governor Hughes would think IL worth while t.
tempt defeat him in the club, of which he has
been member for nearly score of years.
