Birmingham, Ala, April 2S.-"It is
true that / was offered a bribe of fif-
teen hundred dollars on the last day
of the past year provided l would vote

Tennessee"
This statement was made by Rep

ing. Mr.. Mcdonald said that he did
not care to discuss the matter further

washington, April 2S.-Representa-
tive Cullop of Indiana, in a speech to-
day in the house, vigorously assailed
Postmaster General Hitchcock and his
department for ''pernicious activity in
polticis.
"The postofice department is the
greatest political machine ever con-
structed in this or any other country
and is openly administered as politi-
cal organization" Cullop said.
He declared the people should know
whether any Of the 272,00o postmasters
or employees had been discharged or
reduced in rank for failure to perform
their political duties or contribute to
campaign funds. He said the appoint
i've power as lodged with the president
is greater than that enjoyed by any
foreign monarch. He advocated the
direct election of federal marshals and
postmasters.

Tallahassee, Fla, April 2S-Hon.
Jno. W. Watson, of Dade, has decided
to enter the next Democratic primary
for the gubernatorial nomination. He
has been urged by friends in all parts
of the state for the past two weeks or
more to go into the contest and has
had it under serious consideration.
The prominence and high standing of
these friends made it practically i'm
possible for him to refuse and thereby
disregard their wishes. Mr.. Watson
has served in the Florida legislature
for fifteen years or more and in one
session was speaker Of the house and
made a splendid record, both as a
legislator and as speaker.
The high place he was given on COM
mittees of Importance have made him
familiar with all departments of the
state government, its revenues and ex-
penditures and he is peculiarly well
equipped to give to the state a wise,
conservative and business-like admin
istration, one looking not TO economy,
but to its material and prosperous de-
velopment
Mr.. Watson, In discussing the matter
with The Journal correspondent, said:
"A business-like administration
would be my chief aim. 1 believe an
administration of that sort would save
the people money and lower taxes
without in any way retarding our
progress. Indeed, would, If elected
governor, encourage in every way all
legitimate projects for our develop
ment.
Florida is now attracting attention
all over the world and we should take
advantage of this interest, not only by
encouraging immigration, but by
giving new settlers a warm welcome
and such wise laws as will induce them
to remain and with their money and
time become factors in F1orida's up-
building
I think I shall have no platform ex-
cept to promise the people of Florida
an honest, progressive and business
like administration. 1 shall not inject
partisan politics into any campaign
may conduct, for our state is practi-
cally unanimously Democratic Ny ap-
peal will be to those who may be in
clined to believe that economy. prog
ress, honesty and the conduct of public
affairs in business-like manner are
about all that one busy man could
honestly promise to accomplish"

Washington, April 2S.-The senate
formally organized for business today
by adopting the list of appointments to
committees drawn up by the majority
of both parties. The expected fight
against the adoption of the lists
threatened by the progressive Repub-
licans did not develop. Senator IA

a formal protest against the selections
made by the regular Republicans.
The La Toilette statement, which
was prepared at a conference OF the
thirteen insurgents, Senator Kenyon,
the new senator from Iowa, having
Joined the original twelve, set forth at
some length the growth Of the So
called progressive movement in the Re
publican party. It asserted that the
progressive Republicans entertain
marked and well defined differences OF
opinion with the regulars; that the
progressives now have more than one
fourth Of the Republican membership
in the senate and they have become a

The bodies of the two little dauxh-
ters of Capt. Henry Thomas, ages 10

timely death Wednesday when the ILL
fated steamer Belle foundered in Choc4

This news was brought to Pensacola
yesterday by Capt. ]. P. Brooks, mas
ter of the steamer Eugene when that
vessel reached here from points up the
Choctawhatchee. The Eugene passed
| safely through the blow, not venturing
out during the high winds. The
steamer Fritz. about which there, was
some uneasiness, also arrived safely
in port yesterday. She had a safe an

The Eugene passed the point where
the Belle went down during the severe
storm, but could not see anything of
the hulk or a vestige of the wreckaRe
that should have been washed I'D on
the beach, and the belief exists that
the vessel did not break up but went
to the bottom, although the house Of

that several of the crew and Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas reached the beach.
The bodies of the two little girls
were found in shallow water near the

Tallahassee, April 2s.-War- is on

have not been openly declared. but
there is a determined If not acrimoni-

partments, the one represented by the
governor and the other by the supreme

probable that the legislative depart

intervene and bring about a conclus-
