Sherift Caldwell had glven or- ders to his most trustworthy deputies to apoear singly at the jall at different houcs during the evening, and he had also made arrangements with Superintendent Bradfield of the New York Central to have an engine and special car on the terrace tracks at Church street at 9:25 o'clock. That car was fiftesn minutes late, but the moment it left the station for its run of three or four minutes a telephone message was sent to the Jall and the sherlif had the prisoner reudy. As soon as the car stopped, but a few rods from the rear entrance to the Jail, Czolgosz appeared handeuffed to Jailer Georgo N. Mlitehell and surrounded by the sherift and his deputies and Chief Me- Master of the Auburn police department. The cnr was attached to the second section of the train. The news that a car contain- ing the murderer was on the rear of the truin spread quickly and all the raflroad men in the station left their work to wet @ 100k at the assassin.

Czolgosz, the assassin of Presidant McKinley, was this afternoon sentenced to be electrocuted n Auburn State prison during the week beginning October 28, 1901, Bofore sentence was passed the assassin evinced a desire to speak, but he could not get his voice above a whisper and his words were repeated to the court by his counsel “There was no one else but me, the prisoner said in & whisper. ) one else told me to do it and no one paid me to do it. 1 was not told anything about the | crime and I never thought anything about | murder until a couple of days before 1 com- mitted the crime.” Crolgosz sat down. He was quite calm, | but it was evident that his mind was flooded with thoughts of his own distress. | His eyes were dilated, making them ap- | pear very bright. His cheeks were a trifle | pale and his outstretched hand trembled. The guards put the handeuffs on his wrists, He looked at one of the officers. There was an expression of profoundest fear and helplessness in his eyes. He glanced about at the people who crowded the room in efforts to get a look at him.

The real issue, in most cases, although covered more or less by various charges and counter charges, are the con- filcting clalms of different aspiramts for nominations for the several county offces that are to be filled this fall. What started out to give a large field of candidates bas simmered down now to certain well defined antagonisis for the principal places on the ticket A few weeks ago it looked as if a dozen sheriffs were ready to throw down the gauntiet. Of those then mentioned, how- ever, a majority have fallen by the way- slde or declined to enter the race at all including Frank Bandle, Corousr Swanson Gus Corneer, George Helmrod, Charles Pederson and George C. Thompson. The | candidates now lu the field have been re- duced to four, with a fifth dark horse under cover. They are Fred H. Hoye of the | Second ward, James Allan of the Eighth | ward, Leroy R. Lucas of the Fifth ward and | George McBrida of South Omaha with A, € Foster peeping out from behind the called Vinsonhaler delegation in the Seventh ward Hoye has contest in his home ward, the opposition being put up b Charley Kessler in the name of Dr. Weise for on the strength of McHride's money Lucas apparently has his ward conceded to him, yet must take his chances between warring factions who have put in two delegations, each labelled with his name. Jim Allan, in the Bighth, is con fronted with the combined candidacy of Tom Crocker for re-nomination as reglster of deeds and Ed Brailey for corone: In fouth Omaha McBride seems to have things Lis own way, as all the delegations are | aimed by him. Several other candidates wanted to come out in South Omaba for other offices, but have been successively arfven or frightened off by McBride and the | 11tt1o ring that s backing him Aot Against Vinsonhaler. | | | a coroner, The bue and cry that has been raised over the contest for county judge has been largely in the nature of dust throwing to veil the tracks of schemers trying to get into the convention for other purposes | Vinsonbaler has an unopposed delogation in his own (Fourth) ward, put up by him self, with the concurrence of all elements. He bas put up a Vinsonhaler delegation in the Seventh ward, but as already explained, | it is sald to be really a Foster delegation for sheriff. Opposed to it is a delegation tommitted to the interests of J. 0. Dotwiler, formerly member of the legislature, who would iike to succeed to the county bench, For county clerk, W. J. Hunter of the Sixth ward Is endeavoring to capture the plum. Everybody in the Sixth ward pro- tesses to be for Hunter for clerk, but he has to meet an opposing delogation put up to slaughter him for the interest of Grant Willlams for register of deeds and Harry Davie for coroner. Hunter's opponent for the clerkship is Charles Unitt of the Ninth ward The First ward delegation, which is un- contested, Is supposed to be for Hoye for sherlff and for Vinsonhaler for judge, and the Third ward delegation, likewise unop- | Posed, 1s unpledged. Candidates for county treasurer are still in the back ground, the | principal one mentioned being L. N. Gon- don of the Seventh ward. County Superin- tendent Bodwell wants to be renominated for a fourth term and will have as a rival Dr. H 8. McCoy of Benson, who was for some time one of the school trustees of that distriet. For county eurveyor two names have been suggested, Louls Blickendorf and P. A. Edquist, both of the Ninth ward. Seramble for In the South Omaha trict competition for the mination is not brisk. Councilman August Miller has been spoken of and also Walter Slate. In the | Omaha_district several starters are ready. | R. P. Dolman of the Eight ward is allied | with the Crocker-Bralley delegation there, while the Allen delegation is pledged to Dick Donnelly, the saloon keeper. In the Seventh ward, too, the so-called Vinson- haler delegation is pledged to Lyman W erman, former asseesor, for the same po- sition. The primary contest has developed sev- eral unique features in the wav of labels on the sample ballots, to say nothing of the usual scurrlllous efrculars regularly gotten out by the enemies of the city ad- ministration. In the Eight ward, for ex- ample, the ticket headed by A. W. Jefferis bears the inscriptio; For the welfare of the country and the good of the republican party in the county.” The {ucongruity of Jefferts salllog under such a sign has been polnted out in the fact that he has been | openly fighting the republican nominees for three or four successive elections and re- ceived 18 his reward for helping the dem- {ocrats in the last national campaign a fee of $300 from the democratic county commis- sloners for an opinton which should bave been rendered by the county attorney. The same incongruity applies to Brome and sey- eral others on the same ticket who have been voting for democrats right along without respect to the good of the repub- lican party. mmisstonerships, commissioner dis- Incongruities of the Labels, As an answer to this Eighth ward label one of the Fifth ward samples is inscribed: “For the success of the republican party and for andidates who are republicans both before and after the convention.” And an- other sample In the Third ward: “For can- didates who are for republicans without being bought or being on the ticket them- relves.™ The sample in the Sixth ward headed by John N. Westberg has a red sign on it with the words “Anti-Machine. West- berg, although opposing Hunter for county clerk, was nominated for his present ofice by the vote of the Sixth ward delegation | cast by Huuter as chalrman, befng the same |delegation that helped nominate Mayor | Moores. Westberg has always been “anti- machine’ to the extent of refusing to pay his campaign assessment while drawing a | fat public salary, even when he was running for office himself, insisting that the machine | should pay bis bills for him. The funny part of the so-called Vinson- haler delegation in the Seventh ward is that the men on it were the most nolsy anti-Vinsonhaler men when the judge was originally nominated two years ago, sev- eral of them refusing to support him even after he was nominated. Still more amusing is the conglomerate combination that has been gotten in one (Contiaued e.). on Becond P:; A 1 | Solingen, e STRIFE OVER STAR ROUTE Oppones Plan Favoring Witehell and Caldwell.

TUTUILA GETS FULL PAY Natives Wil Be Fully Relmbursed for All Arms and Lands Taken, WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—The complaint of the natives of Tutulla, transmitted to the Navy department by Lieutenant Dorn, has been adjusted. It appears that Captain Tiley, heing short of rash, was obliged to glve personal notes in payment for tha lands and arme of the nuatives taken under the treaty. By drawing upon the gency fund for $2.000, the appraised value of the arms taken from the natives, this account has been settled and arrangements have been made for securing the money nocessary to pay for the lands, subject to the approval of congress at the next ses. slon.

HASTINGS, Neb, Sept. Telegr.m.)—Senator Dietrich and ter, Miss Gertrude, returned this morning from a ten sojourn In the Philippines, where the senator went for the purpose of makng a study of the islands and their present conditions, Senator Dietrich was interviewed by The Bee correspondent the first thing this morning. He was agreeably surprised with everything te saw and fn- vestigated 1o the Philippines. It is a very rich country, practically undeveloved, and It can be brought up to as high a state of cultivation that now exists in Japan. Thirty to forty millions of people can easily be supported in these islands. Mr. Dietrich | wae more than surprised by the great ad- vancement made in the establishment of our civil government there. Peace and or- | der prevail and good feeling exists in gen- | eral toward the Americans for what they have done and for what they are still doing. 26.—(Special daugh- home week: Interviews Aguinaido, Mr. Dietrich had a personal interview | With Aguinaldo, who told the senator that It the islands had to be governed by any other nation, he was now satisfied that he would rather have the Philippine islands under the control of the United States than | any other uation, and that from all he had heard from his people since he has been in captivity, was to the same effect. During | his interview, Mr. Dietrich asked Aguin- aldo If the war had not been prolonged hy the hopes of Bryan's election. Aguinaldo sald that it was true and that he and his people had counted on having the islands turned over to them to establish their own government immediately in case William J. Bryan had been elected. During a fiesta at Tarlac, the orator spoke of the three great heroes and friends Rizel, who was executed there for urging freedom from Spanish rule; Aguinaldo and Bryan. Scnator Dietrich said that if our government is judicious and does not act too hastily there need be no fear of trouble in the southern islands, where Moham- medism bas absolute control. Hasty action | by our government might bring about trouble that may cost a sacrifice of many lives and much moy 80 far the govern- ment has acted very wisely in not attempt- | ing to interfere In those islands. The | islands are rich, but as a whole they are un cultivated. Ninety per cent of the lands in | the Philippine islands are still undevelopad government lands, which promise a great future. As soon as the government I3 in | position to grant franchises for railways | | and disposal of government lands and small tracts to purchagers for the purpose of im- proving all cultivation, the islands will ad- | | vane and become prosperous and self-sup- porting. Entablishing Civil Government, The presemt government has established a civil government wherever it has been possible to do so. The civil government is fast succeeding the military government. The military and civil forces are work- ing harmoniously together. The civil serv- ice commission is careful and painstaking in selecting good men and the preference in every case is given to Fillpinos when they are competent. Governor Taft, who | is at the the head of the civil government, 014 General Chaffee at the head of the mili- tary government, are certainly the right men in the right places In speaking of irrigation in the Philip | pines he said that there was plenty of water | and many streams all through the islands | | which can be used for irrigating the cul- | tivated lands. Mr. Dietrlch advocates a | large governmental experimental farm with | experimental stations in various parts of the islands. The value of the timber is | greatly overestimated. The islands are | rich in timber, but are not as valuable as | | reports have indicated. \The staple prod- | ucts are rice, sugar, aocoanuts and rubber. { Experiments are now belng made in grow- i | ing cotton. Tn many portions of the islands | Indian corn, wheat and other cereals are | Brown with success. The value of mincs, | like timber, is largely overestimated. Mr. Dietrich received this information from mining experts who spent much time in the dlstricts where great wealth was supposed to exist. 1t any great wealth s discovered, it will | have to be in new fields. Mr. Dietrich says in all portions of the lslands where the Catholic church has been there will not be any trouble in Americanizing the natives. He believes that for some time to come we should maintain the silver standard in that | country, because all the surrounding coun- tries are on a silver basis, and it will take some time to educate them to the gold standard. The encouragement of American banking tnstitutions should be continued, because the banks now there are branches of foreign | | banks and are not interesied in the up- | building of the country. The war fa prac- tically over, and it will be but a short time until all hostilities cease. Mr. Dietrich de- parted this afternoon for Lincoln, but will {return home tomorrow. Ho will remain | here for a week or ten days. Due in Omaha Today. LINCOLN, Sept. 26.—(Special Telegram.) ~—Senator Dietrich, accompanied by his deughter, Miss Gertrude Dietrich, arrived tonight from Hastings. Miss Dietrich con- tinued on her way east to Bryn Mawr, where she will re-enter college, and the senator remained in Lincoln, intending to g0 to Omaha probably tomorrow.

But the excursion flec returned disappointed. The great singlo stickers went out early, but the wind was not strong enough. The wind, as iow as three knots, wus too light te carry the con testants over the thirty-mile al lotted by the rules At the end of the five and a half allotted hoirs the race was declared off and the yachts were towed back to their berths inside the Hook. When the gun aboard the committee boat was fired to call atten tion to the sigual declaripg the race off the American yacht was still five mile from the finish. Shamrock was well aster course Americans' Pride Justified, Americans will have reason to congra late themselves on the result of the fir trial. The yacht which carried J. P. Mor gan's private signal, a b Kk pennant n a yellow maltes» cross, to viel Y two years ago was headed but once in the twealy five miles covered and then the F 1is) man showed the way for only five minutes In windward work the American by th foreigner 7 minutes 16 seconds to th mark and increased its lead somowhat the broad reach for home. While the teat was unsatisfactory the yachting sharps who have been skeptical up to this time as to the ability of Columbia to successfully do- fend the cup are more confident tonight that AL Wil rematn on (his side of the Atlantic yet a while longer. Certainly Columbia's superlority in light airs appears to have been demonstrated today. Shamrock 11 did not, In fact, make as good showing as did Lipton's first challenger in the halt-dozen flukes that preceded the actual races two years ago. What Shamrock may be able to do in heavy weather fg, of course, prob matical, but Columbia has heen tried and all its admirers insist that it is distin tively a heavy weather hoat. e Well Two years ago Sir Thomas' prayer was for wind, but when ha got a smashing twen ty-five-knot gale in the last race Columbia’s victory was even m decigive than in the first Since then Columbla's ability in heavy weather has been proved again and again. The harder it blows the faster ihe and the better it behaves, It is not strange, therefore, that ihe patriotio skippers and spectators who went down to Sandy Hook this morning with misgivings returned tonight reagsured and strongly dis- wager that the pretty wreath of shamrock and white heather from the old- st yacht club in the world which Sir Thomas is treasuring in the eabin of his champion will prove no mascot after all The day had promised well at first, A strong northeast wind had been blowing for two days and the weather prophets had offered assurance that it would hold. It had piled up what sailors call a nasty lump of sea outside and before the race hegan was whipping the foam off the crests of the waves. A heavy haze which hung over the bay had blown away the bright sunlight which gilded the crinkling water into glory Other Swells han e Sea's. The proceseion that salled out of New York harbor articipated a fine day's sport. So numerous were the varlous kinds of craft that they seemed to fill the broad ex panse of ot between the Long island and Jersey shores with a countless fleet The magnificent and palatial steam yachts, steamers and excursion boats, filled tier above tler with people; snub-nosed tugs, plenfe barges and sailing craft gathered about the old yellow hulk which for years nas furnished a guide for shipping and in front of which the start was to be made, Conspiclous among the yachts were J. P, Morgan's Corsair, F. W. Vanderbilt's Con querer, Cornelius Vanderbilt's Mirage, How- ard Gould's Niagara, E. T. Gerry's Electra John Jacob Astor's Nourmahal, August Bel mont's Stont, Colonel Albert Paine's Aph rodite and half 1 hundred others, each fiy- ing the New York Yacht club's pennant at the fors and the private signal of the owner at the main. Courne Indicate, oute Yankee Confid Groun rosed to The big racers had already been towed out and when the fleet arrived they were circling and wheeling )ike great gulls about the lightship. The polished bronze hull of Ehamrock, gleaming and glistening in the brilliant sun, made It look like a craf of gold, a yellow-breasted gull, with white pinions spread The white revenue cutters of the patrol fleet, with the revenus flag at the forctop, marshaied the excursion fleet behind the line.
