After mature deliberation and con-
sideration of the matter in all its
phases, Hon. Claude M. Thomas, of
this city, on Tuesday gave to the
press the announcement of his candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination
for Con gresham from the Seventh
Congressional District, to succeed the
present incumbent, Hon. ]. Campbell
Cantrill, of Georgetown.
For several months Mr.. Thomas has
been urgently solicited by hundreds
of friends all over the district to en-
ter the arena, and his determination
to make the race came to public no
tice in card printed above.
Few men in Kentucky are better
fitted to represent the famous old
Ashland District in Congress than is
Claude Thomas. He graduated from
Princeton some twenty-five years ago,
and has been all his life a close stu
dent of history and politics and has
kept himself informed on all the polit-
ical issues of the last twenty-five
years. He has been a lifelong and
consistent Democrat and has served
the State in both branches of the Leg
islature and was sent as Consul to
Marseilles during Mr.. Cleveland's Sec
ond administration. He is an edu-
Gated and cultured gentleman, stu
dent and lover Of books, but also
keenly interestcj III ell questions that
affect the lives - happiness of men.
He has spent h.e p almost entirely
on the farm wherC Ge now lives and
where he was bori., a:l1 where, no
doubt, he expects to Uie when his
hour comes, and all rs interests
have been and will continue linked
with the farm. If elected to Congress
he would ably represent the great
agricultural interests in which the
people of this district are mainly In
ereSted-interestS which have been
practically without representation IN
the present Congress, as evidenced by
the passage of a tariff bill in which
most of the products of the farm nave
been put on the free list.
OnSkhe temperance question, which Is
,certih to be an important one in this
camAaign, Mr.. Thomas is the very
antithesis of Mr.. Cantrill. Mr.. Thomas
has been the advocate of all the tenn
perance legislation that has gone on
the statute books of Kentucky In the
ldSI twenty t6dlS, -'AA'
has been uncompromisingly hostile
to every statute that has been en-
acted looking to the control or regula
ton of the liquor traffic.
Mr.. Thomas when in the Senate
was the champion of the County UNI
Bill and it was largely through MS In
fiuence that that law was enacted
while Mr.. Cantrill was always the OPP
ponent of that bill, and in the las
session of Congress he voted against
the Webb Bill.
While other counties in the distrlc1
have had representatives in the Con
gressional lower House. Bourbon ha:
never been accorded that honor, ant
it is now time that the county shoult
be recognized. And in that connec
ton we can truthfully reiterate tn'
assertion that no more Thoroughly
competent man could be selected iron
the county to fill the high position o
Congressman from the famed pit

IfLost" Locomotives.

There has been much merriment over @ story in the British papers of
 lost railway engines, which is mere ly a matter, say railwaymen, of an error in record keeping. But in Au- gust, 1852, the Great Northern Com pany did temporarily lose an engine by capture It was the continuation of long standing dispute between that company and the Midland as to rights of running into the Noting ham station, which was Midland property. A contemporary account of the event says that the Midland did neither more nor less than seize the Great Northern engine which had brought a train down. just as it was about to start with 8 new load of passengers to London The course taken was in aoordance with the elephantine dimensions of the object seized. The Midland sent some of it's own kind to hem 1t in before and behind, and thus bore it off in triumph, while the poor passengers were obliged to sit patiently looking on at the contest and capture of the trespassihg engine.

ENGLISH COURT RULES
 IN ONE TITANIC CASE.
Declares Illegal Condition Printed on
 Steamship Tickets.

London, Feb 9.-The court of ap- peal today sustained the decision of the kings bench court, which in a test case brought last June by an Irish farmer claiming damages for the loss of his son in the Titanic disaster, declared illegal the condition printed on the steamship tickets exempting the company from liability for loss by a passenger even through negligence Of the company's servants.
 The Judgment of the court of appeal in dismissing the appeal of the White Star Steamship company from that decision was delivered by Lord Justice Sir Roland Vaughan Williams, who declared that practice did not justify a vessel in maintaining her course and speed when the warnings of dangers ahead were such as the Titanic re- ceived The only answer, he said, which the owners of the Titanic could give to the charge of negligent naviga- ton. in proceeding at full speed under the circumstances preceding the disas- ter, was that this was the custom of steamers crossing the Atlantic under the most skilled navigators. Expert witnesses had undoubtedly shown that such was the practice. On the other hand, there was expert evidence that under conditions extremely hazardous a prudent navigator was justified in departing from the general practice.

 by the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 9-Revision of the articles of war-the military law of the United States that has stood un- changed since 1806-is proposed in a, bill passed without 8 dissenting vote by the senate today, designed to make the soldier who is guilty of purely mili- tary offenses an object of refornatory discipline instead of a penitentisry convict with the criminal stamp upon him.

 Military prisoners under suspended sentence quartered in the detention barracks would be organized into nili- tary commands and their training kept up.

 Honorable restoration to the army or. permission to re-enlist without preiu- dice, if the enlistment had expired would follow good behavior.

reforming our immigration law is of utmost importance, not only to our own nation, but to the whole world.
 The world looks to America with particular interest on legislation of thls character Every foreign nation IS interested in this subject, and our foreign relations must enter into our treatment of the subject Every sug- gestion of immigration reform must and will be weighed carefully by this committee. The questions involved in the subject must be considered from a non- partisan standpoint. Politicians cannot be substituted for diplomats in the making of an immigration law and 1t is my purpose to see to it that this bill is thoroughly deliberated be- fore the senate is asked to pass it.
 As to the Hteracy test in the house bill, Senator Smith would make no statement, either concerning his own or the presidents views. Other mem bers of the committee have let it be known, however. that President Will son faVors some other form of immi- grafton restriction. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, a member of the com mittee and staunch advocate for many years of a literacy test for immi- grants, intends to fight vigorously for retention of this provision in the bill.
 Beginning tomorrow, the senate com mittee will hold daily sessions until it completes it's work on the measure As to the restrictive features, the com mittee proposes to issue a statement, probably tomorrow, after the chair man has reported on his latest con ference with the president. President Wilson, in view of the fact that the committee asked for his views, has left to the judgment of Chairman Smith what should be made public concerning them
