HELD IMPROBABLE
New York Democrats Say He
Won't Join Ranks Save as
Dictator.
TAMMANY WILL FIGHT
Suspect Attempt to Capture Tiger
Machinery at Coming State
Primaries.

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE Ma
tionai Democracy can amaigamate
with the Hearst independence League
only by accepting dictation from
Hearst. That Is the way local Demo-
Gratis define the letter sent by w. r.
Hearst telling just how. far John Tenn
pie Graves was authorized to go when
he raised the Harmon Hearst and
harmony banner. Mr.. Hearst claims
that In New York he has destroyed
Tammany Hall. This Tammany lead
ers declare enphaticatiy to-day lis Il
lie. His declaration on that line Is
read as an announcement that. at the
coming primaries, he and his follow
ers will try to capture the Tammany
machinery and Charles #. Murphy and
his associates are already working to
guard against that
They read between the lines in
Hearts statement that he is trying to
form an alliance with upstate De-
mocracy and capture the State ma
chine. Tammany admits that II the
Hearst plans are well financed they
may succeed.
1t Is believed Mr.. Hearst has placed
an insurmountable obstacle In the way
Of matchmaking with the Democracy
by his attitude expressed as follows.
II win own allegiance to no party
that does not express my political con-
victtons and rather than be an insur-
gent inside OF any party would be
an independent outside Of every par

While none OF the local Democratic
leaders cared to answer Mr.. Hearst in
any way. they made It plain to-day

power In this State he will have to
capture the machine through the pri-
maries. according to the men now In
control.
Faces Hard Task.
This will be q hard task and one
that Hearst found impossible In sle
past. The Hearst definition OF an in-
surgent has not helped him much. Il Is
claimed. He defines insurgents az
men who would be independents X
they did not place higher estfma-
ton upon their political jobs than they
place upon their political principles.
An insurgent cannot accomplish, AZ he
cannot sacrifice. = 81, =
Mr.. Hearts, last word. even his fol-
lowers here admit. Is likely to prevent

A CALL for more money to build the
Panama canal may soon be expected,
Judging from the following dispatch
sent out from Washington, which many
regard as feeier:
The Panama Canal is expected to
earn at least per cent on an estima-
ted investment of $500, 600, 600, accord
ing to an official of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor. This computa-
ton is based on the conspicuous revival
OF trade for the eastern part OF China
and the Indies, which has been especial
w marked for the last IS months. All
his traffic now passes by way OF the
aez canal. 1t is stated that the water
ay Of the Red sea earned slightly less
ian $25, 100000 last year. This Is
! bout IL per cent on the investment
When the canal project was first con-
sidered 5000, 100000, it was cllimeI,
would complete it, but now $500, O0o,-
600 is the talk. Had it been known
that this vast sum would be required
for the canal it never would have been
started,

RnnSnyelt and Hearst.

New York, Sept. 1G.-That there is
more than possibility that there viii
be an alliance between Theodore Roose'
welt and William Randolph Hearst in
connection with the Roosevelt fight
against the boss and the interests in
politics." was indicated today. John
Temple Graves, chief political lieuten-
ant OF Hearst, called to see Roosevelt
at the outlook office this afternoon.
He came at the latter's request, but
beyond admitting the fact. Roosevelt
refused to discuss the visit. He refused
to be explained if he sent for Graves to
accept the Hearst offer OF the support
OF his independent party.
Graves and the colonel were closed
in the Iatter's private office for some
time. When the candidate OF the
independence party for vice-presldent
in the last national campaign departed
he was smiling broadly. He was far
from being lquacious, however All
l care to say is that all OF the policies
we discussed is what one could expect
would be talked when one meets Col.
Roosevelt. There was no particular
political subject under discussion,
neither was there any conspiracy.

Conditions in spain.

Madrid, Sept. 16.-Dispatches today
from Bilbao say that heavy casualties
have taken place there in clash be-
tween the strikers and troops. No de-
tails of the fighting are available owing
to censorship. Miners in the Bilbao
district have been on strike for sevcra
weeks, and there are 5000 troops in
the district.
Fearing that too vigorous course in
SURPRISING agitation by the clerical
leaders might precipitate hostilities,
Premier Canalcjas today gave permits,
sion for the proposed pro-church dem
onstrations on October 2, the only CON
dition being that the demonstrators dc
not harm themselves. Canalejas's ac'
ton is believed to be an evidence OF his
confidence in popular support OF the
government in its clash with the
vatican.

CATION have been renominated by over
whclming majortics, except in prehaps
two instances. Congressman Boutell
was defeated for denomination. Mann
won out handily, and Foss pulled
through by a scant majority
Returns from out in the state are
coming in slowly, but the indications
are that with few exceptions the Lori
mer men have been renominated by in
creased pluralities.
Speaker Cannon carried every county
in the Eighteenth district. Two years
ago the speaker was unopposed. so a
comparison of his plurality yesterday
with the previous election is vaulelcss.

The question of charging the army
will, it is said, be fought out to finish
at the coming session OF Congress and
the advocates Of the plan will be pre-
pared with arguments topreSs the issue
to a decision. The basis of the fight
will be the report OF the general staff
in response to the resolution introduced
by Representative McLachlin, of Cali
fornia, calling for statement of the
preparedness Of the country for war,
particularly on the Pacific coast. In
q general way the report will show that
the defensive position of the country is
extremely weak, especially on the
Pacific coast. The increase in the
army will be favored by the jingoe$
and by those patriots" who wish to
furnish supplies to the government
for consideration.

blackbirds were taken from the wagon
after it reached Chester. Wilson thinks

Death Caused BY Poison.

London, Sept. l6.-''Tbe person
believed to have been Mrs. Belle FL
more Crippen met death through the
administering Of a dose OF hyoscin.
This dose, somewhat more than
the amount required to produce death,
was near enough to the exact amount
required for fatal results, to indi-
cate expert Judgment in preparing the
DOSE"
This was the testimony today OF DIR.
w. Ii. Wilcox, ana ysist for the Home
office, and was the first definite state
ment of the cause uf death yet
brought out at the hearing OF DR.. II.
H. e'Crippen, supposed wife murderer.
Under questions from Travers Hum
phreys, representing the crown, Will.
cox said the poison was administered
through the mouth, rather than by
injection, and that the amount taken
barely exceeded half a grain.
Il do not find any other cause OF
death except this poison" Wilcox
said. Il am satisfied that death fol
lowed within an hour of the admins
tering OF the dose"
Wilcox examined five jars OF the
body found under the cellar floor OF
DR.. Crippen's home in which he dis
covered approximately 81 OF q grain
of hyoscin.
The whole amount OF the poison
used. he declared, undoubtedly ex-
ceeded half grain.
Regardless of the weakness Of the
prosecutions case up to date, it is
conceded that Crippen will be bound
over to the grand jury and that in all
probability he will be indicted.

Raising the Maine.

New York, Sept. I6.-After twelve
years, work has been begun to raise
the battleship Maine from the mud OF
the Havana, Cuba, harbor according to
advices received by Col. w. NJ. Black,
OF the Maine Commission. Captain
Harley B. Ferguson and force Of
men began the initial steps.
1t is probable that cofferdam will
be built entirely around the wreck, and
the wreck brought to the surface by
pumping the air from the dam. Owing
to the length of time the ship has been
under wafer, the commission believes
there will be little evidence found as to
the exact cause Of the sinking.

that OF her brother, but said that she
could uot say positively whether it was
Frank or George. Other relatives were
also unsuccessful in making positive
identification. Last night a message

try to determine which Of his sons is
