Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette
Washington, Aug. 6.
Although rumors of the early resigna-
ton of Attorney General Bonapar.e are
again repested in Washington persist
emily, little confidence Is placed 10 them
by those in touch With governmental sf-
fsirs. President Roosevelt himself de-
clared just before he lett Washington
that the Maryland lawyer would remain
ia the Cabinet until March 4. 1t IL
pointed out that there has been no break
b. tween the president and Bonspaits,
and there Is no political exigency that
would demand the attorney generals
retirement. In fsct, 1t is believed the
president would use ell bis influence to
keep BonapDrte 10 his present position,
should the latter seek, on account OF
business opportunities, to sever bis con-
nection with the government. The re-
port of the resignation OF Alfred w.
Cooley, of New York, as assistant at
tcrney general, was confirmed ct the
Department Of Justice today. The
reason for his wish to retire Is Ill health.
II is stated thst 1t will be some time be-
fore his successor Is appointed and In
the meantime the resignation will not be
accepted. Cooley left last night for New
Mexico.
The next Senator from Iowa will prob
ably be named st Oyster Bay, and with
the naming, one Of the two most danger
ous situations worrying republican lead
err, it is said, will BIZ rlghted. The in-
fuence OF the president is believed to be
strong enough to straightsn out the
Iowa taugle. Since he is friend OF
Governor Oummins, the wise ones say
there is no doubt that Oummins will be
Allison's successor. Iowa and Ohio
have been the two states that have caused
the deepest wrinkles across Chairman
Hitchcock's brow. Now there Is a
chance that what might have been open
ruction in Iowa msy become political
tranquility. The death Of Senator ALI
son has changed condition., and Is hoped
to be reflected in The presidential cleo
ton.
President Davilla. of Honduras, has refused
to re scind his order canct ling the exequstuis
OF the foreigl co1suls at Ceiba, who were
charged by him with endeavOring to bring
about the equalization of that town to the
revoutionists, according to information con-
yeyed to the State Department today by Hon
duran Minister Ugaits. The State Depart
ment, before taking any further action. will
await the detailed mail report from United
States Consul Drew Linard.
Under bids open at the Navy Department
today Thomas Butler & Co., of BostOn, Mass,
will be sold the schoOlship ST. Marys for
IS. O52. 70 and TO Samuel B. Wilson, of Phila-
delphia. will be sold the Shearwster for
81. sos. Thomas II. Gregory, of Perth Am
10Y, N. j., bid $4,057 for the st. Mays, but
there was no competition for The Shearwater.

THERE is something very pathetic in
the dispatches from Dubuque, lows,

MRS. HECHLER SUSPECTED.

The revolver with which Jacob
Hechler was murderously assaulted in
his home in Richmond early Tuesday
morning by Royal E. Ellerson was re-
covered yesterday by officers in the
Hechler home. The revolver had been
placed in a woman's stocking, which
had been carefully hidden.
The finding of the weapon thus hidden
strengthens the belief that the assault
upon Hechltr was deliberate attempt
at murder, connived at by Mrs. Hechler,
whom Hechler says he caught in the
room occupied by EllersOn during the
night. Elerson wss guest at the
HechIer home on the night of the
tragedy.
Hechler was much improved Yester-

recover. Mrs. Hechler will be held

COMPARATIVELY silent when Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson, Of Alabama,
sounded his japanese war alarms 10 the
house last session, the Japanese press
has yielded u the temptation to reply to
his speech at the Denver convention.
According to sdvices to the State De-
psrtmsnt, the Japanese journalists have
done it in an artistic fashion. For in
stance, the Japan Chronicle says that
Cart. Hobson was once less hostile to
the japanese, and refers 10 his visit 10
Kobe, where he addressed the Young
Mems Christian Association, as tho pos
sible turning point. The paper asks;
What did they do to Mr.. Hobson
that made him 50 censorious of Japan,
80 determined TO believe thst Japan had
her eye on the United States and some
fine day would be found in possession OF
Washington? Can it be possible that
the members OF the Y. NJ. O. A. fell
asleep when Mr.. Hobson lectured them
on the duty of loving ones enemies :
We are afraid to speculate further on
what may have occurred, but it is GER.
tsinly very curious that Mr.. HObsOn's
strong antipalhy to japan dates from
about the period be WAS entertained by
Japanese Christians in Kobe.

The death OF Senator Allison, of Iowa,
makes it almost certain that Governor
Cummins will succeed him in the United
STATS Senate. II Was 10 prevent Onm-
Minis from getting into the Senate that
the railroads and the reseiioDsries OF
I)wa induced Senator DOllivtr 10 refuse
the vice presidential nomination. Later
they prevented the nomination Of Gum
minis IS Talt's running mate by their
violent protests, and their declarations
that the recognition of Cummins by the
national convention would cause great
discori among the republicans of Iowa.
Onmmins was recently candidate for
the Senate against Allison but was
beaten in the primaries. 1t was con-
coded al the time that no man than AL
lison could have won in an open con-
test before the people sgsinst the popu-
lar governor. Nevertheless the reac-
tionsries construed Allison ! victory 10
be one for themselves, and they openly
proclaimed that Cummins had lott his
grip upon the voters of The stste, and
would be no longer a political factor.
This was their general belief when the
national convention met. Immediately
after the national convention had attsd
ths ttate convention Of Iowa was held at
Waterloo. Tue delegates mad all been
chosen in primaries, and it was figured
that great msjority Of them would be
.Cummins. 1t proved, however,
when the county csucuses we're held aud
the convention organized, to be Cnm-
Minis convention by majority of almost
two TO one. CummiDs and his friends
dominated absolutely, and the general
proceedings showed Cummins to be
stronger and in more complete control
of the state organization that he had
ever been. There is no reason to doubt
thst he will be elected senator, whit
special primary is called to determine
the matter or it is left to the Legislature.

TO RECOVER
" A-A ~
LOSSES SUSTAINED IN NIGHT,
RIDER FIRE.
Suit Has Been Filed BY X. VI. wood.
ridge Against Two Insurance
Companies.

Hopkinsville, Ky, May 23.-Sult
WAS filed by r. NJ. Woodbridge for
the purpose of forcing the Georgia
Home and the Hamburg Bremen fire
Insurance companies to pay the losses
sustained on the tobacco which was
stored in the warehouse operated by
the plaintiff when that building was
destroyed by fire on the morning OF
December Z, 1907, as a result of the
night rider raid upon this city.
In the petition it is stated that the
warehouse contained 80 hogsheads OF
priced tobacco and 5000 pounds OF
loose tobacco, the total value OF
which was s5,404.40. On this to-
bacco there was net salvage of
s2,20f.S5, leaving a net loss of So
202.55. The warehouse in which
this tobacco was stored belonged TO
w. T. Cooper. Mr.. Woodbridge oper-
ates a storage house for the Planters
association and the tobacco destroyed
belonged TO members of that organi-
cation. The loss has been made good
by the warehouseman who now
seeks to recover the money thus paid
out.
This warehouse, IL will be remeni-
bered, was not set on fire by, the
night riders, but caught from the
warehouse owned by John C. Latham
and operated by NJ. II. Tandy. which
was the first one fired and which was
separated from the Woodbridge house
by a narrow alley.
The plaintiff claims that policies
covering the loss were in force in
the two companies at the time the
destruction was accomplished and he
asks for s1,779 from the Georgia
Home company and s1,42345 from
the Hamburg Bremen company.
