WOULD VOTE FOR FORAKER.
Dr. Wilder WouId Represent Negroes
of Washington as Delegate.


Sidney Bieber. chairman of the board of
elections of the Republican National Com
mittee, is not a candidate for delegate
from the District OF Columbia q the Re
publican national convention in Chicago
June 16.
AT no time have I been a candidate
for delegate" says Mr.. Bieber.
Some Of my friends have announced
themselves as candidates and. under the
circumstances, ! cannot see my way clear
10 fight them in the primaries"
Another development in the situation
was the announcement of Dr, j. r,
Wilder. the negro physician. that he was
a candidate for delegate. Il is the Gus
tom to elect one white delegate and one
negro delegate
In announcing his candidacy. Or. Wilder
said:
the Presidential nomination. consider
this my duty as a representative OF the
negro race. which Eanator Foraker has
so ably defended"
Or. Wilder has been iudorsed for the
race by practically every prominent
negro minister in the city. Indications
are he viii have a strong following among
all classes of his people.
This announcement from Dr Wilder
sets at rest rumors circulated by op~
ponents that he is an administration man.

IGNORES THEIR VETO
President ReappOints Officer
Senate Rejected.
MEYER SAYS IT IS LEGAL
Senators, After Twice Asking by
Resolution for Information, are
Told There Is authority Of Law"
for UsurpatiOn of Their Ancient
constitutional PrcrogatiVe,

The Senate received something Of q
shock yesterday when iJ learned from
Postmaster General Meyer that the re
lection Of the nomination cf postmaster
did not prevent the department from
continuing the nominee In office by a
recess appointment
There had always been an impression
at that end Of the Capitol that when The
Senate not only withheld its advice and
consent" but actually rejected a nominee,
it separated the man efectually from
the office, and he could not. under the
Constitution. be again commissioned.
The case in point was that Of William
H Northrup. who was nominated post
master at Pensacola. Fla. "a year ago
last December. Just before the end Of
the last Congress the Senate formally
rejected his nomination. He was riyen
recess appointment after adjournment.
and is stiH holding the office.
Asks Why and Wherefore.
some three weeks ago the Senate. at
the suggestion Of Senator Taliaferro. of
Florida. adopted "a resolution calling upon
/ the Postmaster General fer information
as to why Northrup was still in Office
after his nomination had been rejected,
and in defiance of law. No reply was
received, and Tuesday another resolution
was fired at the Postmaster General. call
/ ing him to account for his failure to re-
spond He lost no time in sending an
answer.
In it the Postmaster General apologized
for the delay on the ground that the reso-
luton had been overlooked. and he then
proceeded to tell the Senate how it came
! that Northrup was still in Office. Briefly,
/ it was that he was serving 'in accordance
with law"
Wonder About the Law.
The Senators are now wondering what
authority Of law there is for the action
of the department and the President I'm
recommissioniug a rejected nominee. and
| IL there be such authority, of what use it
is for the Senate to reject a nomination
| if the person can go right on holding the
Office. They look upon il as a plain case
of usurpation by the Executive of their
! prerogatives, and viii resent it strongly.
While no action was taken yesterday,
the matter being allowed to go over with
out much comment. there was consider
able feeling over the matter expressed by
Senators after adjournment, and measures
undoubtedly viii be taken 10 assert the

This afternoon.
The story Of her life from the time she
left her home as Madeline Rhorer until
the body was borne back. THAI OF a mur-
dcress, bigamist, swindler. and adven-
turess, to-day, reads like a romance.
She had lived as country girls usually
do until about seventeen years old. when.
twenty years ago, she married Thomas
Hambrck, Of Clark County, Ky. To them
were born three children. one night at
their home Mrs. Hambrick was seized
with insane frenzy, and attacking her
children with knife. killed one Of them
and badly stabbed a woman guest at the
house.
Put I'm Asylum.
For that she was incarcerated I'm an
asylum here several years. Finally re-
leased she left Kentucky. Her husband
went 10 Galveston, Tax. Her life from
that time on was lurid.
She met her second husband Booth,
through a newspaper advertisement He
lived at Sault ste. Marie. Mich. She
finally deserted him and elopad witbTJ.

whom she later contracted a bgamous

He finally found them in Cincinnati.
where he allowed the woman to obtain a

1t is alleged that Mrs. Booth was known

Buffalo is another city in which she is
alleged to have operated.

THE FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. March 2S.-F'rom a dull and
undressing opening the sentiment on
the stock exchange gradually changed and
the week finished decidedly strong and
cheerful. Bear money rates and bear
sentiment were primarily responsible for
the early weakness. but with the latter
satisfactorily concluded and the prospect
of cheaper money the bears started to
cover and investors increased their COM
mitments and speculative purchases in
anticipation that the government meas
ures probably would be modified This
sent the prices Of British securities up
ward, home rails being especially favored.
The advance in American securities was
partly responsible for the rise in other
directions
While the dealings in the American
section were principally professional, the
steady rise in values attracted some local
speculation and continental support. The
Improvement in Americans was helped
largely by the decision of the Supreme
Court regarding freight rates and the
tenor of the Presidents message to Con-
gress. but the probable issue of Union
Pacific bonds anG bear pressure caused
recessions. The market today, however.
was again firm in sympathy with yester
days New York buying, the prospects of
a good New York bank statement and
continental support. This resulted in a
continuation of the upward movement.
which put the final quotations at from
2 to points dearer than last Saturday.
Copper shares attracted increased at
tention during the week. Amalgamated
Copper finished points higher and Rio
Tintos 3 points higher than last Satur
day.
Money was comparatively scarce. The
market borrowed larg .ly from the Bank
of England, but the government disburse-
ments probably will relieve the situation
soon and discounts consequently will be-
come slightly easier. The bulk of the
gold arrivals Of Monday. amounting to
