ROOT AND GRANT MENTIONED If Grant Be Lucky in War He May Be the Favored One, Otherwise Root Will Probably Be the Man. New Yi kk, Nov. 2.

He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniment and two and a half gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but nothing gave any relief nntil be began using Chamberlain's Pain Palm.

Our duty require us to suppress this insurrection and to establish peace and order there. "With the restoration of peace and order there I take it for granted that congress will provide government for the people of the islands in the spirit of liberty and justice and witli a view to their highest possible civilization. Here tofore, when possessions have been quired by the United dealt w ith the people residing in those lerritoriet in the spirit of liberty and justice, which prevaila in our constitu tion and our law s, and I have no reason to think or even suspect that future con gresses will not make such roles and regulations for these inhabitants as will provide for them tho largest measure of liberty possible for them as well aa the largest local participation in the govern ment with the situation there nnder our sovereignty and nnder our flag. "So far aa I cin see tbe only practical alternative to this la the abandonment of the islands, the withdrawal of our troops and the withdrawal of our navy as well. The president has no power to direct this, as he can no, alienate terri tory acquired. Congress can do so by law and will soon be in session, and those who think we should surrender what we have gained there and with draw our army and navy will have an opportunity of testing the tense of con crest by otTering piopositions to that end. Fatal Apoplectic Stroke. Fokkst Guovs, (Jr., Nov. 1. John Dumphrey, who wa st.icken with apo plexy here last Thursday, died this morning, aged 63 years, never having regained consciousness. He was born in Baltimore, Md., in ISoti; came to Oregon in 1X79, and for the last f.irty-three year had been a locomotive engineer. For twenty-one yeart be bad been con tinuously engnged on the West Side train, which first had its terminus at St. Joeph, then at McMinoviile. bnt now at Independence. Mr. Dumphrey waa it necessary for the Republican national convention to choose another running mate for President McKinley, should the president lie renominated next year. It will uWo necessitate the choice of a president pro tern for the eeua'e, to preside over its ilt liberations until a new vice-president takes office. Republican pol'.tii-i.ms are practically agreed that Mr. Hihait'a successor on ac- the Republican ticket m-xt year must States, congress , come from Ne l ork state. Senator Piatt was in this c ty to lav, and it is understood tha. candidate were dis cussed. If Governor K-o.evelt had not so clearly Imlic.Ued his disinclination to acct-pt tbe second plact on the ticket, be won'.d be an important factor in the speculations as to the candidates. His nomination is regarded, however, as being practically out of the question, and the two men mo-t discussed are Secretary Root and General Frederick Grant. Which one ol them receive the Republican nomination may depend upon the fortune of war in the Philip pines. There are men who have served with General Grant since hi appoint ment to the army w ho believe that be has inherited to a great degree the military genius of his father and that all he nee-Is is an opportunity. Ho hn not, thus lar, had a chance to show whether these opinions are well founded, but if he should command the trooi s in some brilliant action against the Filipinos, or perhaps direct the final movement in overwhelming the- insurrection, there is little doubt that he would be the man selected. Should this opportunity not come to General Grant and should the Philippine w ar end successfully within the next few months, the nomination would probably be given to Secretary Root.
