NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC
Prediction That state Is Going That
Way and Roosevelt Would Rather
Not Be Too Proml-
nent.

NEW YORK, Aug. LET is now
thought that Col Roosevelt will take
no part in the fall campaign and make
no effort carry the Saratoga conven-
ton against Sherman.
Friends of Roosevelt say that they
think the state will go democratic this
fall in spite of everything the repub
Leans can do and that the defeat OF
the republicans with Roosevelt as
their leader would hurt Roosevelt
more than to accept the position as
temporary chairman.
They still think that Roosevelt at
ter a democratic defeat this fall, viii
stand better chance to carry the
state as candidate for president.
Roosevelt told the reporters this
morning that his speeches to be deliv
cred in the west would not be under
the auspices of the republican cam
paign committee, but his own private
views.

Twenty Victims in One Town.

Wenry Victims IN one OWN.
BARI, August 19.-The gravity of
the situation in the Province Of Bari
della Puglie, where Asiatic cholera
has broken out, Is thoroughly appre-
ciated by the Italian government. The
town of TRAM Is seriously infected,
and in forty-four deaths reported in
the latest advices twenty have occur
red in that place. There have been
ten deaths at Barletta, one at Cerig-
lola, two at San Ferdenando, one at
Biscoglie, four at Margherita di Sa-
voia, three at Andria, and three at
Trinitapoli.
DR.. Ruetti, who has been sent from
Rome to direct the work of sanitation
has been appointed royal commits
sioner with full powers. DEGREES have
been issued forbidding fairs, process
sions, feasts and public meetings.
The authorities express confidence
that the physicians now in charge Of
the various infected districts will be
able to stay the progress of the dis
ease, but so far the death rate ha:
been high, those attacked In many
cases dying within few hours. The
present epidemic, therefore, is of 6
virulent type, ard as it has secured
strong foothold. the fear is genera
that it will be difficult to check.
The Red Cross is giving valublt
assistance to the physicians.

The queen is especially touched by
