R. z. Taylor, the aged Trenton lawyer
who was taken from his hotel at Wal
nut Lodge at the same time Captain
Quintin Rankin was lynched night be-
fore last. has turned up alive near
Tiptonville, having escaped from the
night riders an hour after Rankin was
hanged. His captors got into a dispute
as to what they would do with him.
Some were in favor of killing him,
while others wanted to hold him so
as to force concessions to their de-
mands for free fishing on Reel Foot
lake. While they were disputing the
matter, Taylor jumped between two
guards, dashed to the edge of the ba-
you leading to the lake and plunged in,
swimming across. He was fired at
many times while in the water, but
managed to reach the other side In
safety and disappeared in the dark
ness. The militia ordered out by the
governor has arrived and is being
distributed throughout the disturbed
district.

at $50o,0o0.

Newburg, N. Y. Oct. 21.-It was
definitely learned today that four per
sons pershed in the burning of the
Hudson River steamer, New York. al
Marvels shipyard here early today
Since the end of the day line season
the New York had been moored at the
shipyards. There were twenty-five col
ored men asleep on the boat at the
time the fire was discovered and they
fed from the burning steamer without
having time to dress.
The colored men had just been paid
off and besides their clothing, most OF
them lost their money, in some cases
as much as $780, Today the charred
bodies of four colored men, all EN-
'ployes on the steamer, were found be
low the deck in the mems sleeping
quarters.
Every part OF the beautiful steamer
that was combustable, was destroyed
and nothing is left but the charred
hull, broken in two, a mass of twisted
steel and iron. The vessel cost over
100000.
The origin of the fire is unknown
but it is believed to have been caused
by the explosion of a lamp. At various
times during the morning, the flames
communicated to the shipyard, but
they were quickly extinguished.

The delegates, who were bubbling
over with enthusiasm. were given
the first opportunity to give vent to
their feelings, when Hon. T. B. Catron,
chairman of the committee on reso-
lutions, submitted the report of this
committee by reading the resolutions
in full. He was interrupted repeatedly
by applause. The resolutions on1fa

A Record Breaking Convention.

In striking contrast with the Dem.
ocratic county convention held on
Monday night at the court house. 'zas
the convention held by the Republi-
cans there last night In point of at
tendance, enthusiasm and harmony, it
was the best ever held in Santa Fe
county. If enthusiasm counts for any
thing. then the Republican ticket nam
ed last night will sweep the county
on election day, Tuesday, November
8, by handsome majority from tor
to bottom.
While every nominating speech
brought forth cheers from the dele
gates, the soeeches of Permanent
Chairman T. B. Catron. at the opening
of the convention, and that of Hon.
H. O. Bursum. chairman of the Re-
publican territorial central committee,
at it's close, aroused the greatest en-
thusiasm and none who were there
can deny that both we're genuine vote
getters. Time and again both speakers
were interrupted by applause, proving
that their remarks were having tell
ing effect on the vast assemblage
present.
An hour before the convention was
called to order, the court house audi
torium was filled and when Temper
ary Chairman George w. Prichard
raped for order at 1880 o'clock,
standing room was at premium.
With few exceptions every person in
the hall was Republican voter. The
exceptions were several Democrats at
tracted out Of curiosity and half a
dozen ladies'. The ladies remained
throughout the convention, while the
Democrats, unable to stand the rous'
ing speeches and enthusiasm, left
early.
The convention was in session q
little over three hours, it being exact.

Not a minute of this time dragged
When speeches were not being made
then the Santa Fe band was discours'
ing patriotic airs.

yesterday afternoon for the purpose o.

NAVAL MEASURE TO BE VETOED Ii Appropriation is Not
 Made. SENATE LEADERS NOTIFIED President Roosevelt Makes Hts
 Position Clearly Known. The President Has Insisted That His Friends in Congress Continue
 to Fight for Four Rattie- ships.
SENATE LEADERS NOTIFIED

Washington. April 22.--President roosevelt will veto the naval appro- priation bill should the Senate. as did tne House, fail to make any appropr,a- ton Tor the two battleships which are authorized in that measure The prompt announcement of this fact to the senate leaders today is rerardeJ as responsible for the Announcement oy MT. Hale that he should propose afl amendment appropriating s7.000. GOO to- Warus the construction of theae shins
 The President stated his position Or, tnis point with equal emphasis and suddenness today, upon learning that the niii as passed by the House, was simply a paper" provision for naval increase. Authorization of inc mhina was made. but no money carried fo make the provision effective. Such legislation as this. the President made known to his numerous congreasional callers, was a travesty as to effective ness, as well as bearing all the ear- marks of legislative legerdemain in tended to make ridiculous his campaign Tor the greater navy.
 That the Presidents quick and viz orous action is to be effective is svi. denced by the action of Chairman Hale or the Senate Naval Committee. in an- nouncing that at the proper time he will propose the $7.000, ,00O amendment. As to has threat of veto. the President made 1t plain that should the wisdoni of Congress result in the passage of a bill providing for no naval increase whatever. he would have no grounds on which to veto the measure. Any at tempt. at what he regards as a trav- esty on legislation by authorizing but not appropriating for ships. he declares he will defeat by the exercise of his constitutional power of veto.
 There Is not the slightest indication that the President has ceased his f@ht for four new battieships according 10 the evidence of Senators who talked with him today. Senators who are with the President in his fight on thie proposition admit tonight that a cara- full survey of their strength in the Senate. gives but a vote of twenty-nax in that body in favor of the Pres3dantsa . naval program for four ships.
 Significance is attached to this poll of the Senate in that 1t is said to show loss to the President of some of his stAunchest supporters in that body Senator Lodge .s understood to have quit the fight for the full naval pro gram advocated by the President, and to have given his reasons personally to the President for so doing. The loss of the influence of the Massachu- setts Senator is regarded as responsible for the weakness shown by the poll as 1t is believed by those favorinK the program that had the Presidents Sena- torial supporters entered the fight with the vigor he has evinced his desire .n this direction might have been rea1- ized.

A CURRENCY CONFERENCE.
House and Senate Leaders Meet and
 Have Discussion.

Have Discussion.
 Washington. April 22.-A conferences on currency legiJIation was held to-, day between House and Senate lead- CTS and was attended by Speaker Can- non and Senator Aldrich. The judg- ment of the conference was that the program lately decided on can be put through.
 This program calls for a caucus of the Republican members of the Hous9 possibly next week or the week fol- lowing, to determine the passage of a bill creating a commission to investi- gate thoroughly the currency subject and the financial situation of the country in general and to report on remedial legislation at the next session of Congress. It Is further the desire of the House Republican leaders to put through the Vreeland bill, which embodies what are thought to be the best features of the Aldrich bill and eliminates the provisions to which most objection has been made. All that the Senate leaders ask of the House leaders Is to enact some piece of financial legislation. so that the Sem ate will have a measure to use as q working basis, all thought of enact- ing the Aldrich bill in the form 1t passed the Senate having been aban- doned.
 The program is then to have the Senate strike out everything after the enacting clause In the House Dill and to insert the Aldrlch bill. This will have, the effect of throwing the amend ed bill into conference and care will be exercised tboth in the Senate and the House to appoint as conferee mem. bers who, favor some legislation al this session.
