SENATOR HOGAN CANT SOLVE
the watson-smith problem
Though He Has a Populist Friend Who Gives him a
Pretty Good Idea What It Means.
Atlanta, Ga., July 2.—Senator J.
R. Hogan, of the Twenty-ninth dis¬
trict, may be classed as one of the
veteran members of the present gen¬
eral assembly. He is now serving
his sixth term, five of them as a
member of the house from Lincoln
county, and the sixth, as the senator
from the Twenty-ninth.
He was not a candidate for election
to the next house, feeling that he
should retire, and let some one else
come, who was equally as deserv¬
ing of the votes of the people of that
county.
The senator has been in legislative
harness from 1890 until the present
time, with the exception of two years
—the time when he was a candidate
for governor on the Populist ticket,
and made the race against Governor
Candler.
tn Historic Vein.
“Along about that time,’’ said
Senator Hogan today, “I was as good
a Populist as there was in the State,
and believed firmly, that the only
way to hold the party together was
to have a ticket in the field that our
people could vote for. If I was a
Populist today, I would fee) toe .same
way, and the Democrats could offer
me no inducement that I would ac¬
cept to vote for their candidates.
“I went into toe Democratic pri¬
mary six years ago and have been
there ever since. I have been sit¬
ting up late at night trying to solve
Dynamite Hurts Three to D*Rh.
Knoxville, Tenn., July 2.—Meager
details of a dynamite explosion In
Camp No. 2 of the Walton Construc¬
tion company, which is building a line
of railroad for the Virginia and South¬
western road, exploded prematurely
killing three men and Injuring five
others. Ben S. HD well, of Church
HIM, Tenn., is among the dead, but
the name of the other victims are not
known. Charles Martin, also of
Church Hill, was fatally injured. The
accident occurred near Kingsport and
the bodies of those killed were torn to
pieces.
Miners Threaten to Strike.
El Paso, Tex., July 2.—Orders have
been issued at Phoenix, Ariz., to hold
three companies of the Arizona na¬
tional guard in readiness to proceed
to Morencia and Clifton, Ariz., where
a strike is threatened in the mines.
A strike occurred, there three years
ago with serious riots, and United
States troops had to be called out to
quell them. There has been trouble
in this camp for several weeks past
with several minor strikes. There are
many Mexicans employed in both of
these camps.
Storm Swoops on Montlhello.
Monticello, Ga., July 2.—An electri¬
cal and windstorm caused considera¬
ble damage here Sunday afternoon at
3 o'clock. An unfinished residence
and outhouse of Mr. Crarles Oxford
and a number of chimneys and trees
were blown down. Two mui x be¬
longing to Lewis Walker ,a negro,
were killed by lightning near the de¬
pot, ar.d part of the roof of J. H.
Kelly's store was torn off. A very
rain followed.
Labor Trouble# Ended.__
St. Louis, July 2.—With the vote
to accept the compromise taken by the
Bridge and Structural Steel Workers’
union, the last of the labor differen¬
ces which have kept building, opera¬
tions in a turmoil for the last three
months came to an end. Under the
compromise the 'men get an advance
of 40 cents a day.
Goremykin Summoned to Peterhoff.
St. Petersburg, July 2.—Premier Go¬
remykin was summoned to Peterlioff
Monday afternoon, presumably in con¬
nection with the reorganization of the
cabinet. The bourse Gazette says
it is rumored that General Trepoff has
at last fallen into imperial disfavor
and is leaving Peterhoff.

the problem of how it is that Hoke
Smith and Tom Watson are hitched
up together, but have not been able
to solve it. I do not believe that
even Mr. Watson knows where ‘we
are at’
“1 have a friend living In Lin¬
coln county who has always been a
Populist, and is so today. A week
or so ago, I met him and we com¬
menced talking politics in a general
way.
Askad An Explanation.
“I asked him to explain to me
why it was that two years ago he
was fighting Parker so strong be¬
cause of his being a gold bug, and
today he was equally as strong in
his advocacy of Hoke Smith, who
was not only a gold bug himself, but
was one of Parker’s strongest sup¬
porters in Georgia, and worked day
in and day out to secure for the New
Yorker the vote of this State.
“My friend did not hesitate a mo¬
ment in giving me an answer. It
was short and to the point. In doing
so, he said:
Knife For Democrats.
‘ “Well, it is this way, I have a
knife up my sleeve for the Demo¬
cratic party aDd I can cut deeper
into it by voting for Hoke Smith
than for any other candidate running
for governor.’
“Any old-line Democrat in Geor¬
gia can reach a conclusion as to what
he meant by his answer to my ques¬
tion.”

Were Imbedded in the Wreckage.
Salisbury, England, July 2.—Driving
at a mad pace over the London South¬
western railway, the American lfne
express, carrying 43 of the steamer
New York’s i&saengers from Plymouth
to London, plunged from the track just
after passing the station her* at 1:67
o’clock Sunday morning, and mangled
to death In its wreckage 23. and 4 of
the trainmen. Besides these two
whom death came speedily, a dozen
persons were Injured, some of them se¬
riously.
The late, hour of the New York’s
arrival at Plymouth saved many lives.
She carried more than sixty travelers
for London, but many of them elect¬
ed to travel on comfortably to South¬
ampton In preference to the late land¬
ing at Plymouth, and the night ride
across the country. If the New York
had made a faster passage, the ros¬
ter oft^ibe dead and injured would
have been longer.
The Mg American line steamer
reached Plymouth at 9:35 o’clock Sat¬
urday night, and half an hour later
there was a tender alongside to re¬
ceive passengers for England. Sever¬
al who had planned to debark and
packed their baggage, decided at the
last moment to remain aboard. It
was a fateful decision, although not
dictated by fear. The ran across the
Atlantic had been pleasant. There
were cheery partings when the pas¬
sengers for London transferred to the
waiting tender, which steamed for the
Devonhpon landing, where the express
train was lying made up.
The train consisted of a powerful
express engine, three first-class cor¬
ridor carriages and one combination
guards’ van and buffet. The passen¬
gers were soon entrained and at 11:30
the express pulled out. It was given
a clear track on the run of 230 miles
to London, on which the express gen¬
erally maintains a speed of a mile a
minute. Driver Robins quickly gave
the engine her head, and the special
