YORK’S SENATOR
IS THE PRESIDENT’S CHOICE
* s A COMPROMISE BETWEEX DE
PEW AXD BLACK.
TJle Odell Faction Said to Be De
(rrmtned to Defeat Depew at Any
diet—This Fact Open* the Way for
n Compromise Candidate to Carry
0(f the I’rlae —Koot'a Ambition*
(or the Senate Are Well Known.
By R. M. Lamer.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 21. —Some
of the New York Republican leaders,
who have been in Washington recent
ly, are talking of former Secretary Root
as a compromise between Senator De
, en and Former Governor Frank Black
for the New York senatorship. It is
the intention of some of these gentle
men to create the Impression that the
selection of Mr. Root would meet the
hearty approval of the President.
Thus far the President has remain
ed neuttal in the senatorial contest,
because of the many complications in
volved in that light. His personal
choice is probably his valuable friend
and former cabinet advisor, Mr. RooV.
The recent visit of Mr. Root to Wash
ington and his frequent visits to the
White House have been seized upon
by the New York politicians here as
an indication that the President will
eventually take a decided position in
behalf of Mr. Root. It is known that
the latter would for more reasons than
one, rejoice to come to the Senate,
It would not interfere with his law
practice and it would give him an op
portunity to meet in that forum some
of the men who so persistently an
tagonized his ‘admfinistratibn of the
War Department, when !he was a
member of the cabinet.
To Defeat Depew Anyhow.
A well-known, New York Republican,
who called upon the President recently,
is authority for the Statement that the
Odell faction in the Empire State is de
termined to defea/t Senator Depew at
any cost.
"The present indications are,” said
he, “that Senator Depew will have a
hard time securing a re-elfeotion. The
Odell organization Is dead set against
him, while Senator Platt is standing
loyally by his colleague. There is a
large Independent element that does
not take kindly to the idea of sending
Frank Black to the Senate, but at the
same time they are somewhat indiffer
ent about Depew. It is that condition
of affairs that makes it possible for a
compromise candidate to come in and
carry off the prize. It would not re
quire much urging to induce Root to
come to the Senate, and I would not be
surprised to see him brought forward
as a solution of the problem.”
LOOKING FOR DOVE.
Police Want Some One In n
Checked Suit and Red Necktie.
Chicago, Nov. 21. —Search for the
murderer of John W. Bate, Jr., the
young chauffeur who was found dead
in an automobile near Lemont, was
continued to-day.
The fact that the mysterious “Mr.
Dove,” who ordered the machine from
the auditorium hotel lfas not appear
ed to aid in solving the problem, caus
ed the police to believe that beyond
doubt a passenger with a checked suit
and red necktie is the man they are
seeking.
Among letters found In the dead
chauffeur’s pocket is said to be one in
a woman's handwriting which contains
the words: “When I love, I love; and
when I hate, I hate.”
The theory is advanced that the
supposed "Dove” may not have been
a man, but was a woman in disguise.
Edward Slavln, telephone operator in
the auditorium hotel, who arranged for
the renting of the machine for “Dove,”
bears this out in a slight degree. Sla
vin says that “Dove” waw dressed in
clothing that seemed to be either too
large or that “Dove” did not know
how to dress himself properly.
An escaped prisoner from the Chicago
House of Correction who has operated
as a horse thief near Aurora and Clin
ton, 111., is said to answer to the de
scription of “Dove.”

BLOCKADE RUNNER
TAKEN BY JAPANESE.
XAa* Trying to Carry Supplies Into
Port Arthur.
Shanghai, Nov. 21.—A former Brit
ish steamer, the Thales, sold to Ger
mans, has been captured while at
tempting to run the Port Arthur
blockade and has been taken to Sase
bo. She had on board a cargo of
clothes, blankets, medicine and an
enormous quantity of salt beef.
Russians captured near Port Arthur
said that five men-of-war in the har
bor had been rendered useless by the
Japanese fire.
The Thales is undoubtedly the Ger
man steamer Batelan, referred to in a
dispatch to the Associated Press from
Tokio to-day as having been captured
by the Japanese off Yentao while at
tempting to run the Port Arthur block
ade. There was no record of the
Batelan in the maritime registers
available.
Tokio, Nov. 21.—The Navy Depart
ment reports the capture of the Ger
man steamer Batelan while attempting
to run the Port Arthur blockade. The
department says that at 3 a. m. Nov.
19 a Japanese squadron cruising off
Yentao, sighted a vessel steaming for
Port Arthur. The gunboat Tatsuta
pursued and overtook the steamer at 5
o'clock in the morning.
On board the vessel was found a
great quantity of winter clothing,
blankets, medicine and corned meats.
Her captain said he was bound for
New Chwang. The route and cargo of
the Batelan were considered to be sus
picious, and she was taken possession
of and brought to Sasebo.
PLAN OF WAITINgIs
FOLLOWED BY BOTH.
Neither Russian* Nor .laps Make a
Move Near Mukden.
Mukden Nov. 21, Via Tien Tsin, Nov.
21.—Since the Japanese failed in the
attack which they made on Putiloff
Hill Nov. IS, the old order of affairs
has been resumed. There are frequent
skirmishes, particularly in the vicinity
of the Russian center, where both
sides have daily clashed.
There was an exchange of artillery
fire during the greater part of Nov.
*o.
It appears ithat the affair of Nov.
18 was a reconnaisance in force, and
that had it been successful it was to
be followed by a general attack.
The Japanese got within thirty paces
of the Russian outer positions before
being driven back. They left over a
hundred dead on the field.
The Russian soldiers are quite com
fortable in their dugouts.
The weather continues extremely
cold, the thermometer recording 35 de
grees of frost. The frost is accompan
ied by high winds, which carry clouds
of dust.
THE RUSSIANS FIRED
UPON ONE ANOTHER.
This Account of the Dogger Bank
Affair Is Given Again.
London, Nov. 22.—The Daily Mail’s
Copenhagen correspondent recounts a
story from a member of the crow of
the Russian cruiser Aurora to the ef
fect that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky’s
flagship Kniaz Suvaroff, mistaken in
the fog off Dogger Bank, bombarded
the Aurora whereupon the Aurora sig
nalled, “We are being fired at,” her
self fired 350 shots at the British
trawlers and the Russian fleet.
This informant distinctly avers that
there were two Russian torpedo boats
with the first division of the Baltic
squadron to which the Aurora belong
ed.
THE OUTPOST AFFAIRS
HAVE GROWN WARMER.
Berlin, Nov. 21.—A dispatch to the
Lokal Anzeiger from Mukden, under
to-day's date, says:
“The reconnaissance fights have as
sumed a more violent character during
the past few days. Particularly hot
was the fighting on Poulitoff Hill
(Lone Tree Hill), where the Japanese
were repulsed with the loss of over 100
killed. All signs Indicate that great
events are Imminent. The road to
Somintln, owing to the excellent patrol
service, is quite safe from Chinese
bandits, thus guaranteeing unhindered
communication with Tien Tsin and
establishing a second line of inter
course with the outside world.
“The health of the troops is excel
lent. i
“The Russians admire, the cleanli
ness, perfect order and equipment of
the Japanese. One does not see any
trace of race hatred. It is a fact that
the Japanese returned through French
Intermediation all valuables found on
the dead Russians. This has made a
deep impression here and is reciproca
ted.”
NO GENERAL ATTACK
HAS YET BEEN MADE.
Mukden, Nov. 21.—The anticipated
attack by the Japanese has not devel
oped as yet. The uncertainty of the
present situation gives rise to conflict
ing rumors and speculation regarding
future operations. Some of them ex
pect the Japanese to attempt a wide
flanking movement on Tie pass and
others claim the armies will practically
winter In their present positions.
Complete Inactivity prevails. The
nights are growing colder and fuel Is
scarcer. Crowds of Chinese ore wan
dering over the fields and roads, pick
ing up everything combustible, even
the roots of Chinese corn.
MINED AND OCCUPIED
A COUNTERSCARP.
Tokio, Nov. 21.—Reliable sources re
port that the Japanese mined and oc
cupied a counterscarp on Klhlung
mountain Nov. 19.
A dispatch from Tokio early to-day
announced that the Japanese after
successful mining had occupied a
counterscrap on Sungshu mountain on
Friday Nov. 18. Klhlung mountain is
east of Sungshu mountain.

Important Order for the Military ot

eral—Reason* That Inspired Him.
Order I* Expected to Help Some
of the City Command*—lt Applies
to All Hraneiie* of the Servlee.
Atlanta, Nov. 21.—Adjt. Gen. S. W.
Harris issued an important order to
day, hereafter limiting the number of
men in any military company In the
state to a maximum of fifty and a
minimum of thirty-five.
This policy has been adopted for sev
eral reasons, chiefly on account of the
trouble the state has had in supplying
equipment and In order, also, to pre
serve more regularity in the make-up
of the companies. Companies now hav
ing more than fifty men need not get
rid of their surplus at once, but can
not enlist new men until their enlist
ment falls below the maximum of
fifty.
It Is said as a result of this order
companies in the cities having less
than fifty men will be able to recruit
their ranks from those dropping out of
the larger companies.
This order applies to all branches of
the service, infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery, and to white and colored com
panies.
JAPANESE PREPARING TO
DEFEND PORT ARTHUR.
Che Foo, Nov. 21, 3 p. m.—A Japa
nese official, among the latest arrivals
from Dalny, states positively that the
general attack upon Port Arthur has
not been resumed. Rumors to that
effect in Dalny have arisen because
fresh troops, including the seventh
division, recently landed, are being
sent to the front.
It is believed that the explosion on
Nov. 16 occurred in some counter
tunneling work. The second explosion
which was heard on Nov. 19 was
much heavier and it is reported upon
the best authority was due to the
blowing up of a Russian magazine.
It is expected that the next attack
upon Port Arthur will be a tremen
dous affair. More reinforcements are
coming to the support of Gen. Nogi
than those dispatched to Field Mar
shal Ovama.
The Japanese are now constructing
coast defense forts at Pigeon Bay,
which is accepted as an indication
that they expect to be defending
Port Arthur themselves some day.
DARING DEED WAS
DONE BY RUSSIANS.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 21.—Gen. Ku
ropatkin, telegraphing under yester
day’s date, reports a daring deed ac
complished by four volunteers of a
Russian patrol Nov. 16.
While reconnoiterlng the patrol dis
covered a Chinese building occupied by
twenty-five Japanese. Two riflemen
volunteered to blow up the place and,
armed with grenades loaded with pyr
ozyllne, the riflemen succeeded In
evading the Gentries, placed the gren
ades and retired undetected.
A few minutes later the grenades
exploded and completely wrecked the
building. When Japanese reinforce
ments arrived they found all the oc
cupants dead or wounded among the
ruins.

PROBING MYSTERY
OF PARKER’S DEATH.
Wlint Killed the Vice President of
the C. H. A D. K. R. f
Cincinnati, Nov. 21.—Coroner Weaver
to-day began an inquest in the case
of C. A. Parker, vice president of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and
Pere Marquette Railroad, who fell
dead in his office here on Wednesday
last. No autopsy was held at the
time of his death and the death cer
tificate gave no cause of death, mere
ly saying: "Inquest pending.”
Dr. S. B. 'Grimes was the first wit
ness examined. He said he was called
while Mr. Parker was dying. He
smelled a pungent odor as of peach
leaves. There were no convulsions. The
pupils of the dying man's eyes were
dilated.
The witness asked what Mr. Parker
had taken. He heard a voice say,
“Don’t say anything,” and thought it
was a woman’s voice. There were sev
eral persons present.
Miss Rose Hagerman, stenographer
for Mr. Parker, testified that she saw
nothing unusual about him that day.
He had just returned from Chicago
and had dictated some correspondence
to her. He gave no appearance of mo
roseness. She was the only woman
present and had no recollection of
hearing Dr. Grimes ask what he had
taken nor of saying "Don't say any
thing.”
SUSPECTED AGREEMENT
TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
Chicago, Nov. 21.—Suicide while
temporarily insane over the loss of
her betrothed was the verdict of the
coroner's jury to-day In the case of
Ella Cesterling, whose dead body was
found Sunday in the girl’s apartments
at the Vendome Hotel.
The dAith of the young woman, ac
cording to police theory, may have
been the result of a “suicide agree
ment” entered into by the dead girl and
Charles A. Parker of Cincinnati, a
well known railroad official.
Parker died suddenly in Cincinnati
under circumstances that might indi
cate that he had taken his own life.
The inquest in the case of Miss Ges
terling, however, failed to bring out
any confirmation of the alleged pact.
Miss Gesterling formerly was one
of Parker’s stenographers in Denver,
Col., and th# friendship existing be
tween them was strong enough to
rtiuse comment. Correspondence be
tween Parker and the young woman
was intercepted by J. W. Parker, the
20-year-old son of the railroad official.
In this manner, it Is said, the young
man learned that his father contemplat
ed securing a divorce in order that he
might marry Miss Gesterling.
Grief over this discovery and a feel
ing of shame at the father's entangle
ment, were the causes it is believed,
of the son’s suicide recently in St.
Louis.
CENTRAL WILL FIGHT
PAYMENT OF TAXES.
Whnl Cnpt. Cnnninuliam Say* About
the W. of Ala. Stock.
Atlanta, Nov. 21.—Capt. H. C. Cun
ningham of counsel for the Central,
Railway, who was here to-day, stated
that the Central would contest to the
last the payment of taxes on Its $1,500-
000 of the capital stock of the West
ern of Alabama Railway. There is
now a suit pending on the subject.
The Central's stock is on different foot
ing from thait of the Georgia Railroad,
he said, and it. is contended the title
to it is in New York, where it is pledg
ed as security for a bond issue.
Capt. Cunningham thinks the stock
is hardly worth more than sixty, and if
this Is the case the state’s Income
will hardly be as large from this
source as was expected.
Comtroller General Wright’s dis
covery of the stock was due to a study
he was making of the Georgia Rail
road reports in Poor's Manual in 1900.
Up to that time the stock had not been
returned, and nothing was known as
to its existence.

Washington. Nov. 21.—A sub-com
mittee of the House Judiciary Com
mittee to-day resumed the investiga
tion of the Impeachment charges
against Judge Charles Swayne of the
Northern district of Florida.
In the last Congress the commit
tee made a majority report recom
mending the Impeachment of Judge
Swayne, but minority reports were
made against Impeachment proceedings
by most of the Republican members
of the committee. Shortly before the
adjournment of Congress a resolution
of impeachment was set for considera
tion in the House on Dee. 13, the sec
ond week of the reassembling of the
short session, and the Judiciary Com
mittee was instructed 'to continue the
investigation.
Representatives Palmer of Pennsyl
vania and Clayton of AlabanVa, of the
sub-committee,. were present to-day,
but Mr. Gillett of California was un
able to attend. The committee, how
ever, decided to go ahead with the in
vestigation, and Clfarles T. Forbes, a
clerk in the general land office, was
called as a witness. He testified
against Judge Swayne regarding a tim
ber trespass case in Florida, in which
he alleged that Judge Swayne had ex
acted the fine a second time from the
trespassers.
J. N. C. Stockton of Quincy, Fla.,
testified that J. N. Stripling told him
that he (Stockton) could get anything
in the way of receiverships if he would
stop the prosecution against Judge
Swayne. This occurred ten years ago.
Ellis F. Davis of Marion, Fla., testi
fied in regard to an attempt to settle
the Hoskins contempt case, which was
pending before Judge Swayne, for SSOO.
Eugene C. Dearborn testified that in
1893 he was a conductor and went with
a private car to Delaware and brought
Judge Swayne and his family to St.
Augustine, Fla., the whole party trav
eling on passes, the Florida Railroad
at that time being in the hands of a
receiver.
Judge Swayne was present at the In
vestigation and frequently consulted
his attorney, former Senator Higgins
of Delaware.
After hearing C. H. B. Floyd, whose
testimony threw no new light on the
case, the committee adjourned until
to-morrow.
SAYS THE CHRISTIANS
CAUSE THE TROUBLE.
Recurring Conflict* Hetwern Rival
Nntlonalttlca.
London, Nov. 22.—The Standard to
day prints a long letter from Con
stantinople dealing with the situa
tion In Macedonia.
The writer says there has been a
marked change in the last six months.
Formerly It was a question of protect
ing the Christian population against
violence, but now it has become one
of intervention between various Chris
tian elements. Since the policing of
Macedonia has been taken out of
Turkey’s hands, the correspondent
says, there have been recurring con
flicts between rival nationalities, Bul
garians, Serbs and Greeks, accompa
nied by barbarities, quite as bad as
those with which the Turks were for
merly reproached.
The truth Is, according to the
Standard’s correspondent, each of the
Christian elements wants independ
ence, and their hatred of each other
exceeds their detestation of the Turks.
The Austro-Russlan reform scheme,
therefore, has not hastened the solu
tion of the Macedonian problem or
brought autonomy any nearer.
VOTING ON*THE UNI ON.

In the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, twenty-nine presbyteries have

Washington. Nov. 21.—W. H. Ellis of
New York, who book to King Menellk
of Abyssinia the commercial treaty ne

see each other attain.' She then asked
me if Caesar Young was dead, and
when I replied that he was, she Bald,
'I don't want to live now. Why should
he kill himself? He had everything
to live for.*
“Did she say anything else while
you were in the cab with her?”
“Yes, she asked me if I ttad struck
Young on the head. I asked her, 'Why
should I do that?’ and she replied, 'To
kill.' ”

By R. M. Lamer.
Washington, Nov. 21. President
Roosevelt has made considerable prog
ress with his annual message to Con
gress, and he proposes to have it prac
tically completed before he goes to
the St. Louis Exposition. Notwith
standing the personal anxiety and in
terest surrounding the election, and the
other business cares which have re
cently occupied his attention, he has
found time to assemble much of the
data upon which the message is to be
constructed.
Those whom he has consulted on
several of the topics to be considered
predict that the general tone of the
message will be somewhat different
from what it might have been had
the recent election been very dose, or
antagonistic to the present administra
tion. Having received the popular ap
proval of such a large majority of the
people of all sections, it is the inten
tion of the President to frame his mes
sage so that It may be free from‘all
Sectional criticism. Thus far he has
considered subjects In which all classes
of American citizens are not Interest
-16 h ‘. lS tourhe<l upon the race
issue and it is said that it is not
his Intention to do so in the message
For Strengthening the Army and
Navy.
lt . ° n ® °. f _ Principal subjects to be
treated is the navy. The President has
very determined views in behalf of
strengthening the naval service at ev
ery point. It was with ronaldm-nnic.

On the contrary, the keynote of the

cently passed Ms eight-sixth birthday,
and is, therefore, twelve years older
than the Emperor of Austria, yet the
former has reigned only forty years,
against the fifty-five that the Aub

The Prince of Montenegro, as a mat
ter of fact, occupies second place
among the monarch# In point of
length of reign, having been forty-four
years on his throne, and the King of
Greece, though only 68 years of age,
has reigned for forty-one years!
Thirty-eight years have passed since
Leopold became King of the Belgians,
and he Is now 69 years old—that Is to
say, six years younger than the King
of Sweden, who has, however, only
been King for thirty-one years.
