A Point to Be Settled.

The demand for a congressional re- districting of Connecticut, on the basis of the new census figures of popula- tion. may have quite the same out come that the similar one had ten years agi. The old political hands would not listen to q diSarrangement of the four district system, with two counties to a district, which had pre- vailed since the oldest inhabitant be- gan to vote. It was sacred in more political ways than one, since all po- litical machines large and small. re publican and democratic, were built upon it. To upset it meant revolution. The device of keeping the four districts intact and electing a congressman at large to represent the surplus popula- tion has sufficed for ten years, but as the state increases in size. such an eX- pedent for evading the federal law can
 not be permitted It is now a question whether the present arrangement can
 be continued for one more decade, in spite of the growing protest against Ii. The census figures should go far to set ties the point.-Springneld Republican.

Attor- ney Biggs of the Illinois Central i'm troduced letter. the contents of which were withheld, as having been written by himself to Rawn.

 We made it point to do some Kind of repair work on every Illinois Cen spector would report on it, witness continued "rhen we would doctor tho bill in the office. When cars came in loaded with repair material we would make some repairs to the cars, such as tightening the bolts.

On Action of the Ohio Republican
 State Convention.

Oyster Bay, N. Y.. July 2S.-Before Theodore Roosevelt launches out again on the troubled sea of national poli- tics he will scan the chart with those of his friends who have already tested the temper of the storm.
 The colonel's reticence of last night continued today. He repeated that he was unwilling to comment on the ac- ton of the Ohio republican state con vention until he had received reports from men who were on the ground: but he added who thcbe men will be They are James R. Garfield of CleVe- land. who withdrew his name from the convention and Wode II. Ellis. chair man of the Ohio republican commit tee. Clifford Pinchot will later bring soundines from further west.
 Mir. Ellis, 1t is thought will ask Colonel Roosevelt to stump ohio for the ticket nominated yesterday. The colonel would not say tonight whether he will accept or not. His decision Is awaited with the more interest now that it must give some indication of how he relishes the rebuff administered in the convention to Mir. Garfield and his fellow progressives. The colonel has already agreed to speak at cin- cinnati on September g. but it is un- likely that he will venture on state is- sues then

BIGAMIST FREED BY COURT. Richard Smith Favorfte< of Fate
 Which Controls Technicaities.

Washington, July 2S.-Richard H. Smith, husband of two women, in dicted on a charge of bigany and inn prisoned here for some time while awaiting trial, is a free man today, with two wives living and no divorce record.
 Smith was freed in the criminal court on charge of perjury, having previ- ously been freed on the bigaIny charge because no proof could be found that wife No. 1 was living when he married wife No. 2. Smith married Mary Merson in 1893 After nine years he forsook her without any legal cere- mony and married another Mary Mer- son, a first cousin. The first wife had him arrested in Montgomery county Maryland, and through some technical ity the court dismissed the case against Smith. The courts of the District of Columbia were appealed to, because Smiths second marriage took place here. and now, after several months of legal sparring and afilure to find evil dence. Smith is a free man.

Bryan Not Disheartened, Will Keep Up the Fidht

Lincoln. Neb., July 2S.-William J. Bryan will continue the contest for county option and the initiative and referendum. In a statement issued today he says:
 While the failure of the democratic convention to endrose county option was disappointing, still the fight for county option in the democratic party has not been in vain. In the first place. it has helped to secure a dec laration in favor of the initiative and referendum in both parties, and now that all parties have declared for it, there is no doubt of the necessary amendment being submitted at the next session of the legislature
 The work now to be done is to secure county option candidates in ev- cry senatorial and~representative dis trict- The democrats who favor coun- ty option should turn out at the pri- maries and nominate @ candidate ia = vorable to county option The repub- hcans in favor of county option should be active in securing the nomina- lion of republican candidates favorable to county option. County option can didates should be nominated by all parties in each district, and 1 have no doubt that this can be done in great many districts

 Other guards were sent after the four outside and recovered them, but Warden Frost counted noses to make sure He found that all of his 1886 inmates were present.
 One was found hiding alongside the icehouse just outside the wall and t second was found close by. The third man was overtaken as he was running down the road from the prison while the keepers found the fourth man on top of the hill just east of the prison
