HUGHES WILL RUN
 FOR NOMINATION

Saranac Inn, N. r., July 24.-Gov. Charles E. Hughes will accept renom- ination if the republican party of this state desires him to again be it's candi- date In statement made public to- night the governor so declared himself. He says the personal reasons which prompted him to say privately sometime ago that he did not desire renomina- ton are not controlling and that if re- nominated I ought to accept"
 The governors statement in part fol- lows:
 Some time ago I said privately that I did not desire a renominaton and that I felt that I could not undertake to serve a second term. This, however, was for reasons entirely personal. Upon further reflection I am convinced that have no right to regard these reasons as control ling. and that if renominated I ought to accept.
 But it is my desire that the will of the party to which I belong should be freely expressed and that it shall take such action as shall be most closely in accord with public sentiment. I believe that the people thoroughly understand the principles which I have sought to apply in my administration and If they so de- sire 1 shall regard 1t as a privilege and a duty to continue office for another term.'

NO WAR LIKELY IN
 LITTLE REPUBLICS

Mobile, July 24.-According to ad- vices received here from Spanish Hon duras by Hon. Ernesto Fletes. consul from that country to this port, thers is now no insurrection in his country, nor is there any likelihood of there be- ing any war between Honduras and Nicaragua.
 Consul Fletes declares that all the talk about war between the two coun- tries is a conjecture of some ones brain and that it has no reality in fact. Speaking of the matter, he eX hibited dispatch from the minister of the interior of Honduras, MT. E. c. Fiallo, which was dated July IA. He explained that this dispatch had come via Porto Cortez and from thence py steamship to this port, hence its state ment that there was revolution in Gracias and Choluteca, which towns were occupied by the insurgents.
 The development, however the dis patch says, was not popular one and found little support with the people of the town who were for peace and wished to aid the government to this end. The dispatch further said that the town of Gracias had been .retaken the day before and that the government troops in strong numbers were march, ing on Choluteca, which they expected to take the next day.
 Since the receipt of this dispatch Consul Fletes said he had received ad- vices that had assured him that the instruction had been brief and that it had been thoroughly stamped out. As to the likelihood of war between his country and Nicaragua he said this was impossible at this time, that the nations were upon the most friendly terms, and that both governments were striving to preserve peace in that par. of the globe. He deplored, he said, the printing of so many dispatches which he knew to be false and which only serve to injure his country.
 It was announced here today by tha firm of Hubbard-Zemurray that owing to the difficulty of securing cargoes of bananas at Puerto Cortez that the steamship Alabama will be laid up herr for a while until conditions are settled in the fruit growing territorq. The Alabama carried mail for Puerto Cortez and this will be diverted by way of New Orleans for the present

DONAPARTE GIVES VIEWS
 ON STANDARD OIL CASE

1enoX, Mass, July 24.-Attorney Gen eral Bonaparte, who is at the Hotel As- pinwall here, today made the following statement with reference to the opinion of the United States court of appeals re- versing Judge Landis decision in impos- ing fine of $29, 240,O0O on the Standard Oil company:
 T have read the opinion. Any com ment by me on the action of the court of appeals would be. in my judgment, in- appropriate, especially since, in some form and at some time in the near fu- ture, the department of justice will un- doubtedly try to obtain an authorta- tive review of the decision. It is much to be regretted that, on account of the unreasonable restriction imposed by exist ing law, the right of appeal by the United States in criminal cases. this cannot be done in what is obviously the most nat ural. most prompt and most effectual method, namely, by direct appeal to the supreme court of the United States. Since such is the present condition Of the law, the department must adapt it's cuorse of action to that condition. In my opinion, it is of vital moment that the statute regulating interstate com merce should be so construed by our courts that it may not be practically impossible to convict law breakers on vast scale, nor practically impossible to punish them when convicted with suf- ficient severity to assure future obe- dience to the law. I think it is the duty of my department to foster a wholesome fear Of punishment among those often and strongly tempted to do what the law forbids, and the department has tried in the past and will try in the future to faithfully discharge this duty. Some we'll considered measure will, therefore be adopted, after due deliberation and con ference, as will so far as practicable, remove any possible danger which may be thought to exist lest the present de- cison, as a precedent or otherwise, shall prove an impeachment to effective admin istration of these salutarv laws"

WAR OF PROTEST TAKEN
 DIRECT ID ROOSEVELT

Cincinnati, O., July 24. - Brushing aside all intermediate processes and modes of action, the Receivers and Shippers association of Cincinnati has carried it's war against a general in crease in railway freight rates directly to the President of the United States. In general effect, communication for warded to President Roosevelt last Saturday at Oyster Bay, and made pub lie here tonight, asks the chief eXecu- tive whether or not he intends to en- force a decree issued some years ago against certain railroads. If so, he Is asked at once to cause the attorney general to bring proceedings for con tempt against the Missouri Pacific rail way and the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad. Denying that politics had anything to do with the letter at this time it is explained that because creases in freight rates are to become effective August 10 by certain roads, prompt and positive action became nec- essary.
 In conclusion, the letter says:
 This association stands for a square deal for the carriers. It believes that their property rights should be protect ed the same as the property rights O. individuals. But we are unalterably opposed to any policy of the carriers which has for it's purpose the ignoring of our courts and the placing of them selves above the law of the land. If they expect the protection of the laws and the courts, they must show a wholesome regard for the law and re- spect the decrees of the courts. If the Missouri Pacific and the Rock Isl and deliberately ignore this solemn mandate of the courts and continue in an unlawful manner to burden trade and commerce among the states by continually increasing rates, the ques- tion arises, is there no power in this land sufficiently strong to reach rail- road companies that recklessly brush aside the decrees of our courts?
 This association believes you will, in carrying out your policy for the strict enforcement of the law see to it that these two railroad companies are required in the future to observe this decree"

LONDON ENTHUSES
 OVER AMERICANS

London, July 25-If the beginning of the Olympic showed some lukewarmness in the United Kingdom the morning pa- pers today amply reflect the enormous in- terest and enthusiasm aroused by the strange scene witnessed in the stadium yesterday. There is but one voice, how ever, in the whole-hearted tribute to the grea tness of the American victory, to- gether with the fullest sympathy for the pitiful fate of Dorando. There is not single note against the judges decision, which on every side is granted that it could not have been otherwise than it was, and much regret is expressed that oyer-zealous officials could not have been kept off the track, so that Dorando might be left to his own efforts to complete the journey, if that was humanly possible, which most observers were convinced he was not in a condition to achieve. The Daily News, in an editorial, says:
 Nothing more painful or deplorable was ever seen at a public spectacle. It was painful in the exhibition of human exhaustion; dep1orable in the exhibition of official folly. It may be questioned whether so great trial of human endur- ance should be sanctioned.
 We hope the stadium authorities will severely repudate the action of the off cials who helped the Italian. We con gratulate America on her complete and conclusive victory. It left England en- tirely out of the reckoning"
 The Daily Mail says edtorially:
 "The American athletes won most of the honors of the eventful race. which may fitly be described as the American Marathon. In view of so splendid vc- tory, we can only hope that the Amer jeans, who decided not to run in the 4OO- metre, will reconsider their intention. It would be a graceful act on their part. and with the Iaurels of so remarkable a triumph fresh on their country, they can afford to take a sportsmanlika view of the Olympic judges decision.''
 The Daily Ledger, which Is almost alone in thinking Dorando might have won un- aided, says:
 Yet. let it not be imagined that we are breathing upon the shield of the United States, for the honor in which her people rejoice today was splendid1y fought for, though strangely won. Nobody can con- test the judges verdict, yet never was there harder luck
 The sporting papers are equally con- vinced that the judges had no other course to pursue.
 Late last night it was reported that Do- rando was progressing favorably and hoped to be able to attend the Stadium today to receive a special cup at the  thoughtfulness has been a matter of gen. eral satisfaction.

TAFT MEETS MANY
 NEW YORK FRIENDS

New York, July 24-The republican leaders of the city were fully alive to their opportunity today to make the personal acquaintance of their candi- date for the presidency, and when Will liam H. Taft leaned back in his Putt man seat late in the afternoon to be- gin his journey to Cincinnati, he had shaken the hand of practically every district leader in Greater New York, a number of state leaders, and had con- versations with politicians of varying degrees of prominence to the number of several hundred.
 Tt has been a day of acquaintance making" was Mr. Tafts comment after the impromptu levee was over. "Th ere is no political significance to be at tached to any of the interviews l have had. It is a little too early for mo to get reports of the situation in the state, but from what has been told me by the men I have seen satisfac. tion seems to be the prevailing state of mind."
 So far as MT. Taft now intends this will be his last visit to the city until after election. He will reach Cincin- nati tomorrow shortly after noon. After the notification ceremonies Tuesday it is his purpose to return to Hot Springs at the earliest possible moment. All though MT. Taft spent the greater part of the night going over the proof of his notification speech he was up early and kept a breakfast engagement with his brother, Henry w. Taft and wife. at the Plaza. He was called on here by Paul Morton, MT. and Mrs. J. W. Jackson, long time personal friends. When the candidate reached his apart ments at the Hotel Manhattan he found a delegation awaiting him and the callers came throughout the day with out cessation. Henry W. Taft assisted the candidate in receiving the guests for some time. Among the callers was lady artist who took measurements of Mir Taft's h cad for a portrait.
