seas fleet is supposed to be in the
neigh borhood of the islands north OF
Scotland For this reason, 1t is be-
lieved, Lord Kitchener with his staff
went to the Orkney islands for the
purpose of reviewing the battle fleet
after the Jutland engagement. It Is
considered probable also that he was
engaged In conference with other
high officials regarding the program to
be followed to meet any move from
Germany. As minister of war kitch-
ener was responsible for the defense
of England in event of any attempt
at invasion.

ferson county proved surprise to the
Kenr edy supporters, by going to
Thorne.
In Keokuk the fight was especially
bitter on the congressman from Lee.
There was a combination Of interests
and circumstances which fought him
in every precinct. Some Of the ship
pers were fighting for Thorne and
there was considerable dissatisfaction
among some of the wet interests at
Kennedy's stand, according to some
of Kennedy's friends who were at the
polls all day and heard the talk Of the
voters.
1t was felt last night by Kennedy's
workers that if he survived the fight
in keokuk with a fair majority he
would have sufficient number Of
votes in the district to carry him
through safely. With more complete
returns this morning, it was seen that
the fight was to be much closer than
any of Kennedy's adherents had
thought it would be.

clearly that they held no hope that
Kitchener might have escaped.
Surprise was expressed that a
cruiser bearing the minister of war
could have been destroyed by a tor
pedo or by a mine. 1t is probable
that the question whether the cruiser
had an escort and whether she was
provided with any protection against
submarines will be put direct to the
government.

kitchener's staff.
NEW YORK, June 6.-The list OF
persons who accompanied Kitchener
on the cruiser Hampshire has not yet
been announced by the British gov
eminent. His staff, as given in the
army list, follows:
Private secretaries H. J. Greedy,
Captain Sir G. c. A. Arthur, personal
military secretary, Lieutenant Col. o.
A. G. Fitzgerald; attached Lieut.. Col
Sir A. Leeham, Major C. l.. Storr;
military secretary to the secretary of
state for war and secretary of state
for the selection board, Major General
J. S. Robb; Asst. Military Secretary
Col. E. NJ. NJ. Norie; civil assistant to
the military secretary. R. n. More.
The above list comprises the execu-
tive staff of the secretary of state for
war and is in effect his office organi-
cation. There is strong doubt wheth-
er the admiralty reference to the
staff applied to this organization.
One cable report was that Kitchen
er and his staff were enroute to Rus
STA when the Hampshire was sunk. II
this is true, it has special significance
in view OF the general Russian often
sive which is now practically under
way along the 200 mile front from
Pruth to Kolki. His trip too. may
have had bearing on the advance OF
Russians into Asia Minor.
The Hampshire was a British cruis-
er of the Argyll type Her compile
ment was 655 officers and men. She
was $50 feet long and displaced TO-
$50 tons Her armament was four
I 5 inch guns, six 6-inch guns and two
torpedo tubes.
There has been no mention in the
cables or the wireless of the cruiser
Hampshire having taken part in the
great sea battle last week off Jutland.

thought that Keokuk would be added

That the result was otherwise. is

Burton, particularly on matters of con

commission, and the senator was after,
ward chairman of the national water

their object the conservation of the

irrigation and navigation. Roosevelt

Senator Burton Man Of Hour.

Out of this process there is gradual
ly emerging the name of one man
around whom the whole party could
rally, who would satisfy every element,
meet every requirement, and carry the
Republican standard to victory.
That man is Theodore f. Burton Of
Ohio.
Senator Burton is experienced in
pubic affairs. He is known from one
end of the land to the other and his
position on every public question Is as
well known as his name, for his great
record in the House and Senate are a
part of recent American history. He
is firm in character and safe in judg-
ment. He understands American bust.
ness and finance, for his work in ma
tional legislation has made him easily
the leading authority on these ques-
tions. He is a broad-gauged Repub.
lican whom every member of the party
from every section of the country could
support with enthusiasm and without
reserve.
More than this, Senator Burton comes
from the very heart Of that section
which will be the storm center Of the
coming contest. The states of the mid.
