HIS ASSISTANCE SOUGHT Both Progressives and Regulars De- sire to Be First to Get Colonel’s Ear on His Arrival, Although Insurgents Appear to Show G New York State P Eager to Consult the Ex-President. New York, June 17.-=What is likely to go down as one of the greatest races in political history is that which is now on among the eager politicians of the country to be among the first to secure the private ear of Colonel Roosevelt, who is due to arrive in New York on his return from his triumphs in Africa and Europe Sat- urday morning. Among those con- cerned with national politics both reg- { ulars and insurgents are represented { In about equal numbers, although the latter are showing more open anxiety | to secure the counsel, and, if possible, the aid of the man who is recognized as the most powerful individual po- litical personage of the day. A band of twenty of the leading congressional progressives, headed by Congressman Hamilton Fish, will de- scend on New York about the time the big Hamburg-American liner, bearing the mighty hunter of wealthy male- factors and other big game, pokes her nose past Sandy Hook. They have engaged elaborate quarters at one of the big hotels and will attempt to se- cure an audience. If only a brief one, on the very day of the colonel's ar- riva The regulars, proceeding more cau- tiously, are endeavoring through ex- cabinet members and close friends to arrange for a series of conferences at Oyster Bay or in this city a little later, Honors So Far About Even. A few fortunate or favored individ- uals already have had the coveted chance, but the political prognostica- tors rockon that honors thus far are about even, Gifford Pinchot having presented one side of the case to the ex-president during his stay in Italy and Senator Root having discussed matters at length with him in London. Emissaries of both sides have attempt- ed to steal a march on their opponents by going to Europe and engaging re- turn passage on the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, the liner that is bringing the Roosevelt p: to this country, but it is doubtful if their efforts will be of much avail, for arrangements have been made to insure the famous voy- ager as much privacy as he may de- sire on shipboard through his occu- pancy of the steamer’s imperial suite. Not only those who are interested in federal affairs, but state politicians as | well are keen for a chance to consult the ex-president. In New York both the so called Hughes and anti-Hughes men are planning to enlist his sym- pathy in the contest over the govern- or's measures and he will be eagerly besought to help in straightening out tangled party affairs in a dozen other states. Whatever the result of the maneuvering it will serve at .east to provide entertainment for those who are satisfied to he merely spectators of the mad scramble on the part of officers and crews of many joijtieal craft flying many different fiags.

New York, June 17.—The explosion of 2 dynamite bomb in the hallway of a First avenue tenement blew out doors and windows and badly wrecked the first floor interior. The 150 oc- cupants of the building became panic stricken when they found the stair- way exit blocked by the explosion and fled to the fire escape. Firemen had to remove the majority of them by means of ladders. The explosion is belleved to have been the work of Black Handers who for months have been writing threat- ening letters to Frank Fassett, a bar- ber who conducts a shop ou the first floor. The bomb blew away a good part of the barber shop walls and caused other extensive damage to the place. Explosion Kills lowa Woman.

He was an Englishman, taking a trip on a Welsh excursion steamboat, and he was watching a group of Welsh col- lers larking with one another, when they suddenly seized one of their com- panions and swung him to and fro. The victim shrieked in terror as the ringleader shouted: “Now, boys, overboard with ’im!” So real was the horror of the collier that the. Englishman jumped up and interfered successfully. The -collier picked himself up and backed to a safe seat next the Englishman, who sternly reproved him for uttering such nerve shattering cries, “It was only a joke, and you musi have known it,” he sald. The collier wiped his forehead. “Iss, 1 knowed famous it wass a Joke,” he retorted, “an’ that's why I did sereech blue murrdurr. Eu don't know the boys, surr.

Reno and Ely, Nev, and Salt Lake City are the alternative localities now under consideration. A vigorous struggle to defeat the governor’s attempt to stop the big fight is in prospect, however. Mayor McCarthy will come to the rescue of the promoters, he aunounced in a statement issued from Chicago, and the latest announcement from Pro-| . moter Cleason is that the attorneys representing him and Rickard have advised him to go ahead with their ar- rangements for holding the contest in San Francisco. “We will act upon the advice of our lawyers,” Gleason said. “We have not violated the law effort.—Scientific American, Natural Anxiety. lowed to.accompany his father to body asked him a question. malned silent for half an hour. ther.”" he then murmured, tions?” She Speaks Out. “You aren’t earning very much.” “But, my darling, two can live <heaply as one.” man.”—8t.

Bemidji, Minn, in any way, nor do we intend to.” Webb Says He Means Business. Attorney General Webb, in a state- ment, pledges himself to stop the contest. He says: “The leiter of the governor is a positive and peremptory command ad- dressed to this office to prevent the Jefiries-Tohnson fight. The governor states that the facts, as presented to him, show that the. fight, if held, will be a prize fight, and that prize fights are prohibited by the laws of this state. “This command the governor has the right and power to make, and it is the duty of ‘this office to comply with it. I shall take such action as the law warrants to prevent the fight being held. 1t is the right of the office of the governor to command; it is the duty of this office to obey..

Among the officers were Al- bert Sidney Jolnston, colonel; Robert E. Lee, lieutenant colonel; Willlam J. Hardee, . brevet lieutenant colonel; George H. Thomas, major. Robert E. Lee and A. S. Johnston became gen- erals in the Confederate army, and Hardee became lieutenant general. Thomas became a distingulshed gen- eral in the Federal army. Among the t captains were Earl Van Dorn, E.

Among the subalterns Jokn B. Hood, Charles W. Fleld, Chambliss and Phifer became southern generals, and R. Garrard and others attained the same place in the northern army. Captain Evans left the United States’ service before Col- onel Robert E. Lee did, and when they parted at Fort Mason, Tex., Colonel Lee sald: “I'm sorry to give you up, Evaps.
