Chicago, Aug 1S.--Allegations that

Washington, Aug. Is. - Official
Washington is very much upset over
the action of the 'old guard in New
York in rejecting the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt to be temporary
chairman of the Republican state con-
vention The fear is expressed here
that it will force a political declara-
tion from Mr.. Roosevelt and the lead
ers in Washington are apprehensive
that before many months have passed
it may result in a split between the
president and the former president
The belief is quite generally enter
tanned in Washington that Mr.. Roose-
welt is in sympathy with the progress
y
The progressive cause has his support
in New York 1t is significant that in
his statement given out after the
meeting of the Republican state COM
mittee he employed the word pro
gressive" for the first time since his
return to the United States.
Whether he wishes 1t or not Mr..
D1+ l., taI~
part in politics in the near future.
The "old guard" in his own state has
given him the def and he has accept
ed the challenge. The chances are
that he will be present as delegate in
the Republican convention to be held
in Saratoga in September. There may
be lively developments before the con-
vention is held. The "old guard has
the right to propose the name of a
temporary chairman in the conven-
ton, but the nomination is subject to
confirmation by the convention itself.
Vice President Sherman will go to
Saratoga with the nomination, but it
remains to be seen whether he will
be made the choice of the Republic
ans of the state as represented In the
convention.
The Eastern press is very much
wrought up over the Roosevelt incl
dent in New York. Some of the New
York papers, notably the Sun and the
World, are very much elated over it.
The Tribune, orthodox Republican, de-
precates the course of the old guard.
The Tribune believes that it means a
fight to the finish and, at the finish, II
looks for the elimination of the old
guard.

ALFCNsO'S QUEEN Is BLAMED
Responsible for Rupture Between

Rome. Aug. 18.-An English woman
is responsible for the growing religious
liberalism in Spain and the rupture
between the Spanish government and

clerical dignitaries. The woman is
Queen Victoria of Spain, formerly

Alfonso's decree extending a larger
measure of liberty to Protestant

cans, who have been allowed to open
twenty-five chapels and eighty schools
since Alfonso and Ena were married,
is proof of this influence, in the opin.

Warrants for Eight Former Off,

Chicago, Aug. 1S.--After a series OF
secret conferences, in which the mass
of evidence in the $5,000,000 Illinois
Central fraud cases was prepared for
immediate presentation to a court
eight "informations" or warrants were
drawn up to be served shortly.
The men named in these documents

are credited with responsibility for

Every one of the men, it is learned

that all preparations for making the

politics was proved beyond question
when Hiram Johnson, progressive can
didate for governor, swept the field in
the direct primaries, winning his
