abor Brown. Now the charge is made
that Senator Brown rode rough shod
over the insurgents in the state con-
ventton; that he affiliated with the old
time republican organization and
thereby alieniated himself from the
and that he must pay the
penalty. Representative Norris seri-
ously considered announcing himself
candidate for the senate against Sen
ator Burkett but refratned from doing
so. 1t Is now expected that he will
become a candidate against Senator
Brown. whose term expires in 1913. This
means, in the opinion of republican
leaders who are watching the tnsurgent
that Nebraska, will be torn
wide open by quarrels within the party
with the possible result that the dem
ocrats will reap the harvest. 1t would
not surprise Washington II Represen-
tative Hitchcock, a democrat, OF
Omaha, succeeds Senator Burkett in
1911 and there also Is a proba bility that
one or more democrats will come to
congress from that state from districts
now represented by republicans unless
harmony is restored.

Shnakhin were charged with the crime.

cence to the laet the former was
hanged and the latter sentenced to a
long term Of hard labor. It was sub
sequently ascertatned that there had
been a miscarriage Of justice, and the
real murderers were arrested and tried
by court-martial at Chernigoff and
sentenced to death>and were confined
In Chernigof pending execution OF
their sentences. Two of them were
FOUND dead the other day in their cell
They had been strangled by their COM
panion with a piece of twisted linen
The three had drawn lots az to which
Of them should kill the two others. and
then commit suicide The man who
lost fulfilled the first part of the bar
gain, but at the last moment shrank

Washington, Aug 2S. - Radical
changes in the location of forts in
Arizona and New Mexico were re-
commended 20 day in his annual re-
port to the war department by
Brlgadier General Earl d. Thomas.
commander of the departement of the
Colorado.
The abandonment OF Fort Apache.
Arizona is recommended. Although
located in a we'll watered country,
with "A climate that is not excelled
anywhere" General Thomas says II is
very isolated, far removed from any
settlements, and exceedingly dillt
cult to maintain, even in the best OF
Seasons, because of the wagon haul
over ninety miles of horrible road.
IF the semi-neglect of Fort Hua-
chua during the last few years is
significant and If future abandon
ment is contemplated, General
Thomas continues, II recommend the
establishment of new post in TINS
section of Arizona to accommodate al
least one squadron Of cavalry"
Suitable sites, he continues are TO
be found in the vicinity OF Douglas,
Arizona.
The abandonment of Fort Wngate,
in New Mexico, and the construction
OF a regimental cavalry post, suffi-
cient at first to accommodate the
headuuarterF and the two squadrons
of cavalrY<hear Albuquerque, were
recommended
