cruiser Des Moines to that island
with her headquarters in the vicinity
of the troubled section The gunboat
Eagle, Capt MARVEL commanding,
now at St. Marc, will look after the
protection of these interests until the
arrival of the cruiser

crease of the naval force in Haytian
waters was the receipt of dispatch

in addition to reporting the fact that
St. Marc had been retaken by the
Government forces, added that num-
Der of buildings had been burned and
that the property OF an American had
suffered.

Had1eiy Asks for denomination.

State Treasurer Oscar Hadley on
Thursday made formal announce
ment of his candidacy for renomina-
tion before the coming state Repub-
lican convention. So far Mr.. Had
ley is the only man out for the NOM
nation, and may have no opposition,
as the office which he seeks has been
regarded as two-term one.
Mr. Hadley was elected in 1906
by majority of $4,000. He was
nominated by his party on the second
ballot at the last state convention,
Joynce Monyhan of Orlean and ia
cob Joel of Charlottesville, his OPP
ponents, withdrawing after the Sew
enth District cast los votes for Had
ley.
Mr. Hadley in his race this year
will likely have the solid support OF
the Fifth District, as in 1906. He
was strong in every district during
the last campaign except the Third
and Tenth Districts.
Mr.. Hadley is at present mem
Der of the State Board of Agriculture
and will Lave charge of the cattle de-
partment at the coming state fair.
He served as treasurer of Hendricks
county, and was trustee OF his home
township for number of years. Mr..
Hadley was largely instrumental in
securing the new public depository

$4,000 appropriation for the new
live stock pavilion on the State Fair
grounds. He is widely known among
the Republicans and especially the
farmers of the state.

Death of John Millikan.

Hon. Daniel Mcdonald received a
letter Monday morning from Mrs.
Virginia Millikan Jakway, stating
that her father. John Millikan, died
at Crown Point, Saturday night He
was one of the oldest newspaper men
in the United States and edited the
Plymouth Republican from 1871 to
1875, when he sold the paper to Cen
eral Jasper Packard, went 10 Crown
Point. purchased the Crown Point
Register and edited it until few
years ago when his advanced age
caused him TO retire from active
work He was over "a years of age
at the time of his death He and his
brother were pioneer newspaper men
of Northern Indiana AM owned and
waka almost sixty years ago, and
John Millikan edited the L.aporte
Wing in 1852 and 1853 when the
Wing party was passing through the
throes of dissolution. When the ex-
tension of slavery became the issue,
Mr.. Millikan went into the Republi-
can party and remained staunch
Republican until his death. His
brother returned to Ohio fifty years
ago and became the editor of the Re-
publican paper at Washington, Ohio.
and edited it until his death at the
age of % years. making him the old
est active editor in America.
John Millikan is recollected by the
older residents of Plymouth as a
very pleasant gentleman, an able edi-
tor. and the father of one of the best
families ever in the city.
His passing from earth to the "un-
seen shores" removes a good man as
we'll as one of the oldest newspaper

The Brazilian police have discov-
cred an anarchistic plot at Rio janet
TO, having as IT'S object the blowing
up of part of the American feet nov
lying in that harbor The conspiracy,
while centering in Rio Janeiro and
Fetropolis, has ramihcations in SAP
Paulo and Minas Geraes.
An individual named Jean Fedher.
who resided in Pe:ropolis, was the
chief oonspirator at Rio Janeiro. al
though it is understood that foreign
anarchists are deeply involved in the
plot. Fedher is believed to have fed
to Sac Paulo and the police, VIII }
know him, have sent to that place for
the purpose of apprehending him.
One of the detectives, who was
well acquainted with Fedher, having
served on the police force at Petro-
polls for some time, returned from
that place Sunday, after having made
Investigations there He had long
conference with the chief of police at
Rio Janeiro The latter gave it on.
later than the Sac Paulo police are
on the track of the arch conspirator
and expect to arrest him soon.
In an official note, which the chief
of police gave out, he says:
Some tune before the arrival OF
the American feet at RIO Janeifo
the Brazilian Government received
from Washington and Paris informa-
ton that anarchists Of different ma
tionalities intended to damage one or
several of the ships of the American
feet The names and addresses of
the conspirators were indicated by
information which the police had re-
ceived previously from France AMI
Germany. The police of that district
are working with the police of Sac
Paulo and Minas Ce-aes and am
sure every precaution will be exer-
cised and the most rigorous vigilance
observed both on land and at sea to
prevens any injury being done"
The police OF Sac Paulo have sent
word that they are on the track of
the malefactors who, they declare.

Want Canteen Back.

General J. Franklin Bell sets at
rest in his annual report as chief of
staff. made Tuesday, all doubts as to
the opinions the army authorities en-
terrain concerning the anti-canteen
law.
Regular and special reports" he
says, made up from time to time
establish the fact that the army, from
the lowest rank up. is practically I'M
animous in its desire to have the cam
teen re-established. Even many Off
GERS, who. on principle, are opposed
to the use of intoxicating liquors, re-
alize that such use cannot be prevent
ed and that the sale OF beer at post
exchanges would be the lesser evil.
When the canteen was in opera
ton there were fewer desertion.
fewer fines and forfeitures imposed
by sentence OF courts-martial. less al
coholism and less disease than prior
to its establishment | am satisfied
that the abolition of the canteen has
resulted in injury to the service"
General Bell finds room for inn
provement in the present organiza-
ton and conduct of the army, He
advocates increased number and pay
OF both officers and men.
1t is disheartening," he says, ito

tory results in training such small
companies as those now existing
Next in importance to an increase of

son for extra officers, because | am
convinced that nothing has contribut-
ed in greater degree to the prevail
ing discomfort among enlisted men in
the army than continual change of
company commanders. by inexperien-
ced officers"

Indiana News at Washington.

The Indiana congressman who. are
fighting the Aldrich bill, Saturday re-
ceived reinforcements in the shape
of letters from a number of sub
stantial Indiana bankers, all of whom
are radically opposed to the bill
Several such letters came to Senator
Hemenway's office from bankers at
Fort Wayne and Terre Haute. The
Indiana bankers say that the banks in
Indiana and the central and western
states generally do not have on hand
such securities as the Aldrich bill
provides shall be acceptable as ba-
sis for emergency circulation, and
that the bill is in the interest of Wall
street bankers who deal in such Sc
curities.
There is a bit OF formality to be
gone through yet before Battery B,
OF Fort Wayne, gets the complete
equipment valued at $55,999 which
has been promised by the war de-
partment. The equipment, as fine as
any battery ever had, is all ready for
shipment, but the rules require that
it cannot be sent until letter is re-
ceived from Governor Hanly stating
in substance that Indiana will be
proud of the gift and that every effort
will be made TO keep the apparatus
in good condition.
A letter has been sent to the gov
ernor advising him of the customary
procedure and until he acts the ma
terials will remain in the various ar
senals where they are awaiting or
ders for shipment to Fort Wayne.
Representative Gilhams will intro
duce a bill authorizing the presi-
dent TO appoint John Archibald Nc
Allister, of Fort Wayne a dental
surgeon in the army TO the grade of
captain and quartermaster.

Give Blacks a Chance as American
Citizens.

A meeting held in Carnegie Hall
New York, Saturday night, had for
its purpose the consideration of plans
to help the negro race. There were
several notable addresses and to
these were added messages from Car
dinal Gibbons and British Ambas-
sador Bryce. With unanimity these
men advocated further opportunity
for this less fortunate people,
through popular support of Tuskegee
Institute.
we can never afford to lose sight
OF the fundamental objects alike of
enlightened self-interest, of philan-
thropy and of patriotism" said Gov
ernor Hughes, one of the speakers
These are, first, TO give opportunity
and stimulus, SO that each man may
make the most of himself A few
centuries ago the ancestors of most
OF us were living a savage life in the
forests of northern Europe. The
black man is entitled to his chance"
The other formal addresses were
by Henry Watterson. who spoke on
THE Negroes Future" and Booker
T. Washington, who told of the work
of the educational institution of
which he is the head.
The meeting was arranged by the
Armstrong Association, its purpose
being to launch campaign in money
raising for Tuskegee. Seth Low.
who presided, said that Tuskegee was
seriously in need of funds in order
to continue its work, and that it was
imperative that $4,000 be given to
the institution before May 81
In introducing Governor Hughes,
chairman Low said that he presented
man who was too busy with his Of
fetal duties to devote any attention
to his personal interests, present or
future, but was not too busy to lend
aid in the cause of Tuskegee Insti-
tute
Mr.. Watterson said that, though
the white man seemed TO have got
along faster than his colored neigh
Dor, all were creatures of evolution
and education, and added:
1--WE have had no race war or seri-
Gus race conflict in Kentucky. The
feudists of the mountains, the Night
Riders of the tobacco belt, are all
whites, not blacks"
The letter from the British ambas-
sador said
There are, it seems to me, two
things which most need to be done
for the colored race. One is TO pro-
vide good education for those of
superior talents The other is to do
for the bulk of the race, by syste-
matte training, that which many CEN
turtles of practice have done for the
white. viz, make the brain and the
fingers apt for the various forms of
labor"
Booker Washington pointed out
that the welfare of the colored race
lay along the lines of education and
self-help. There was a need, he said,
of colored leaders, who should go
among their brethren preaching the
gospel of honest endeavof and thrift
