MARTIN PROBABLY
 WILL BE CHAIRMAN

Washington, April 5.-(SpeciaL)- The democratic senatorial caucus to elect a chairman of the caucus" which carries with it the minority floor lead ership, is expected to result In the se- lection of Senator Martin of Virginia. He may have mo opposition. Senator Bal ley Of Texas is not only not a candidate but would not accept the chairmanship if 1t were offered him. The office Is of little importance in the Senate as the liberality of the upper branch of Congress makes a leader of any sem ator who can rise to the occasion. Sen ator Martin Is the second democrat in seniority, having served 16 years He has never taken prominent part in debate his main efforts having been directed to the work in committee. He is credited with being an astute poli- tician. The senator is a native of Vir- ginia and is GA years old. He was educated at the Virginia Military in stitute and was with the battalion of cadets which served with the Con- federate army. He is lawyer

NEGRO TROOPS WILL
 NOT BE WITHDRAWN

Washington, April 5.-In connection with representations to the President that the presence of the Ninth cavalry, the negro troops forming part of the di- vision at San Antonio. Texas, would like ly cause racial disturbances. Major Gen. eral Carter, commanding the division. to- day telegraphed the war department that there had been no trouble between the whites and blacks.
 Consequently 1t is said at the depart ment the negro soldiers will not be with drawn but probably soon will be sent to the border to relieve the Third cavalry of patrol duty.
 The state of Texas today asked the war department for permission to send it's entire militia organization to San Antonio to join the ''maneuver division" for prac- tce about. June. The department favors this request but has consulted Major General Carter as to whether there is any obstacle. The expense will have to oo borne by the state from its apportion- ment of the federal appropriation for the militia or from state funds.

VOTE BUYERS MUST
 ANSWER ID CHARGE

Lexington, Ky, April 5.-vote buy ing and selling Is to be investigated by circuit judges and commonwealth at torneys throughout eastern Kentucky, according to reports received here to- day from various mountain sections in that part of the state. Heretofore in investigations of this character only vote sellers have been indicted, as the laws of Kentucky provide a penalty for that class of law breaking and none for the buyer. Now, however, the in- vestigators promise to consider both.
 Hindman, the county seat of Knott county, reports that S7 indictments were returned by the grand jury yesterday. This Is In the same circuit district as Floyd, where 210 indictments were re- ported last week.

MISSISSIPPI VS.
 ANIMAL DISEASES

Jackson, Miss, April Ex-Governor Noel has been advised that the United States bureau of animal industry, department of agriculture, has agreed to cooperate with the state sanitary live stock commission more generously than heretofore in the eradication and prevention of hog cholera, and is convinced the work will be much more effective and satisfactory in the fu- ture This means that the supply of serum used in the inoculation of the hogs will be largely increased, and enable the in conjunction, to do great deal more for the live stock interests than formerly.
 Five thousand dollars of the state ap- propriation for the eradication of ticks and other cattle diseases was set aside by the commission to be used in the sup pression of hog cholera during the years 1910 and 1911. Last year something more than 10000 cubic centimeters of serum was made and distributed over the state, but that was far short of the amount that was wanted by the largely increased mum Der of hog raisers, demands having come from every direction.
 Commissioner of Agriculture Blakeslee appeared before the board of supervisors of Warren county, at Vicksburg, yester- day. and the IInds county board at Ray mond, in an effort to interest them in the work that is preliminary to the inaugura- ton of the fight against the cattle tick, and is encouraged to believe that it will be taken up at an early day if not at this session.
 The United States government stands ready to assist the state in every way possible to get rid of the tick pests, but the counties must show a spirit of pro- gressiveness and desire to be rid of the ticks and to have the cattle quarantines raised before the government agents will take hold.

 The bolt of the insurgents displays, as nothing else could, the split in the republican ranks. To fail to vote for a party candidate for speaker is the acme of party disloyalty in the House of Rep resentatives and fully shows that the insurgents of the House intend pursuing an independent course and steer clear of the minority organization whenever 1t suits their purpose.

THE NEW THEATRE.

The New Theatre. in Central PARK
West, this city, IS one OF the more re-
cent Of the big buildings done by Car
rere G. Hastings. That it cost approx
mately S1,750,OO0 is a fact not generally
known. 1t contains many details OF In
ferest- not only from the architectural
point OF view but from that Of home
of dramatic art. 1t is 200 by 200 feet,
with an extension % by 100 feet. The
foyer, q gift Of w. X. Vanderbilt, and
the monumental stairway are particu-
larly interesting features. The design
for the latter was suggested by the
stairway in Villa Caparola, done by VI
gnola. It's double character was an idea
found illustrated in the Chateau Cham
bord, France. The stage has many I'M
usual characteristics. including a revolv-
ing floor. upon which may be set four
scenes at one time. Last summer. in
response TO the demand for a smaller
auditorium, the boxes were relocated and
curtains provided for cutting off part
Of the rear OF the auditorium, reducing
the seating capacity from 2. 100 to 1000
but improving the acoustics.
