Hitchcock Remains Noncom
mittal on Governor's Fight
With the Bosses.
CONFIDENT HE WILL WIN
Though Roosevelt Says Nothing, He
Is Believed to Oppose Turning
Down Man Who Dodged
Bosses' Halter.
NEW YORK, Aug-. 3. Chairman
Hitchcock, of the Republican National
Committee, today . conferred with Wil
liam K. Ward, the member of the com
mute from New York, but declined to
be drawn Into an expression of opinion
concerning; the nomination that should
be made for the Governorship of this
state. The g-eneral Impression Is that
the Federal administration would be
opposed to the turning? down of Gov
ernor Hughes for a second term, and
that Mr. Hitchcock holds the same
view, but he has refused to discuss
the question with anyone.
It is believed here that, in the ab
sence of some statement showing the
preference of President Roosevelt or
Mr. Taft. Mr. Hughes will be able to
carry the coming state convention, and
that Mr. Hitchcock is placing his de
pendence on this assumption. His
friends ay that, so long as this situa
tion remains In force, there Is no need
for him to alter his determination to
say nothing.
The management of the New York
headquarters of the Republican Nation
al Committee in the absence of Mr.
Hitchcock will be in the hands of Vic
tor L. Mason, of Passaic, N. J., who
was appointed today assistant secre
tary of the committee. This position
Is Identical with that held four years
ago by Mr. Hitchcock, when he was
the chief assistant to Chairman Cor
telyou. Mr. Hitchcock Intends to direct
the work In all parts of the country,
but will name a vice-chairman later,
who will be In charge at Chicago when
Mr. Hitchcock Is not there. The head
quarters of Secretary Elmer Dover also
will be In Chicago.
TAFT CANS SOME SPEECHES
Talks Into Phonograph and Ar
ranges to Address Virginians.
HOT SPRINGS. Va.. Aug. 3. W. H.
Taft has consented to make several
speeches Into the talking machines for
reproduction. As the process of making
a phonograph record is somewhat differ
ent from making a campaign speech from
the back of a car platform or from a
front porch. Mr. Taft today found Mrs.
Taft laughing at him as he was doing. a
bit of rehearsing for the records. Several
experimental talks were made and re
produced with varying degrees of satis
faction. The speeches which a single
record will hold average about 300 words
In length. The topics to be discussed
for repetition In this way have not as
yet been decided upon. As an example
of what the machine can do, the candi
date was treated to the reproduction of a
record made by William J. Bryan.
Mr. Taft today fixed August 21 as the
data for the rally of Virginia Republi
cans here. He will make a political ad
dress from the porch of the club house
adjacent to the hotel. A committee of
the Bar Association, which begins its
twentieth annual meeting here tomorrow,
was received this morning by Mr. and
Mrs. Taft. While many members of the
Virginia bar differ with Mr. Taft In
politics, he found many personal friends
in the delegation and. an Interchange of
felicitations took place. Mr. Taft was
complimented on his evidence of good
health.
"Yes," was his reply, "it is true, I was
never In better health in my life. It is
this air down here, and then my exercise.
It really does not seem that there la
much in a game of golf, but It requires
Just enough skill to divert the mind from
the walking that Is necessary and In that
way one gets real exercise without the
fatigue."
The subject of politics was not men
tioned. Mr. Taft will address the asso
ciation Thursday and he was -invited to
assist m the entertainment at the ban
quet Thursday nighty

PRESIDENT STIIL AWAITS
WRIGHT'S REPORT.
Former Statements About Disposal
of West Point Cadet Case
Are All Wrong.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y.'. Aug. 3. In the
matter of the dismissal of the eight
cadets from the Military Academy for
hazing. President Roosevelt has taken
no final action, according to the fol
lowing statement issued through his
assistant secretary. Rudolph Foster,
th's afternoon:
"No action whatever has been taken
by the President In the case of the
cadets, the statements that they were
originally ordered dismissed and that
they had been ordered kept being
equally erroneous. An appeal was or
iginally made to the President to In
terfere. He declined to take any action
or to Interfere In any way until the
Secretary of War had expressed his
opinion, the view of the department
then being, seemingly, that the cadets
should be turned out, but the Secretary
not having come to any final decision.
"The Secretary then notified the
President that. Instead of making any
report, he would like to discuss the
matter with President Roosevelt In
person. He accordingly came and the
discussion was held, but no final deci
sion was reached, the Secretary stating
that he was not able to make a final
and definite recommendation as to all
the cases and preferred to make none
until he could know the full facts.
President Roosevelt has not yet heard
finally from the Secretary and. there
fore, of course he came to no final
decision.
This Is the first statement the
President has made in the matter, and
has come to no definite conclusion ex
cepting that he will probably . follow
the views of the department."
Secretary Wright, after his visit to
the President last Saturday, stated that
the cadets would be reinstated in their
classes at West Point. The President's
secretary, William Loeb, Jr., shortly
after the endtts had been suspended,
announced that the President had ap
proved the recommendation that the
cadets be dismissed and that the only
way for them to get back to the
academy . would be through Congres
sional action.

DEBT IS $20,677,414 MORE
Increase Due to Large Expenses and
Redemption of Xotes.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. The monthly
statement of the public debt shows that
at the close of business July 31, 1908, the
debt, less cash In the Treasury, amounted
to J958,S09,S23, which Is an increase for
the month of $20,677,414. The cash in the
Treasury is J1.791.03S.O29 against which
there are demand liabilities outstanding
Hmountine to 11.437. 409,856, which leaves
cash balance of J3o3,63S,li3.
The apparent increase in the public
debt Is accounted for by the loss of cash
In the Treasury, which, during July,
amounted to nearly J36.O0O.O0O. This loss
was occasioned by the larye increase of
expenditures over receipts and also by the
redemption of the notes of failed and
liquidating National banks and the re
ducing of circulation of National banks.

Navy League In its August report.
"Notwithstanding the assertions of
.Tn nan's had financial position," the
article says, "the so-called programme I

TOKIO. July 29. Although the visit

which the Japanese are noted, the gov

an impressive object lesson as to
Japan's sea power. Already commit

nothing is to be omitted that will con
tribute to the cordiality of the wel

been appropriated by the imperial and
municipal officials to make the festive
side of tne occasion a success, and as
the Japanese are Inclined to exceed
others in this direction, a genial cele
bration may be expected.
Not least among the various Items of
entertainment to which the Americans
will be treated is no less an event
than the annual maneuvers of the Im

not definitely stated that this great
event will take place for the special

Scaly Hide or Snake Turns Rifle

REDONUO, Cal., Aug. 3.-Speclal.)
The nearest approach to a 6ea serpent
ever seen on these shores Is a hideous
creature killed today, after a terrible
fight, by the captain of the launch Roser
Anita, eight miles south of this port. It
Is about ten feet long, nearly three feet
in circumference, black as coal, with a
wide mouth and powerful Jaws tlt
swung back in a ghastly manner and
closed like a vise while the teeth made
a grinding noise that could he heard a
hundred yards. Wicked little yellow eyes
gleamed in the dark head like electric
light bulbs, saya the man who killed the
monster.
The ugly thing resembles somewhat a
gigantic eel. It became fastened on a
large hook, with which Ruser and his
crew w-re Ashing in deep water, and
Instead of waiting to be pulled up made
a dash for the surface and bumped
menacingly against the launch as It
rushed around. Rifles and knives were
brought into play, but bullets seemed
to have no effect, not even drawing blood,
and It was almost impossible to make a
thrust with a blade.
Once the jaws of the serpent closed on
a knife with a metallic ring that made
all hands shiver, and the blade came out
broken in two. In an hour and a half
the unclassified monster was dispatched.

patient finds that his health ha3 been injured by this powerful mineral, and
he is often left with weak stomach, disturbed digestion, mercurial rheuma
