Alfred Wilson, charged with complicity
in the murder of Captain Kdwin B.

accomplice in the sensational holdup of
the vessel on the high seas, was held

The prisoner showed no signs of the
collapse he underwent following his ar
rest and when the Judgment of the
Commissioner was pronounced he be
traved no emotion whatever.
Wise will plead not guilty before the
Federal grand jury, and his attorney
says that he is confident of showing
that his client had no knowledge be
fore hand of the holdup of the Buckman
and the subsequent murder of Captain
Wood. Attorney Duryea for Wise de
clares he can show that Wise was
merely the dupe of Frank Wood, the
missing murderer, who, Duryea says he
wilt prove, plied Wise with liquor and
thrust a revelver Into his hand with
the command that he keep the crew
covered while Wood was accomplish

other to any great exent. as develop
mens thus far indicate.
As a result of dissatisfaction among
Republican voters In many states, par
ticularly In the Middle West, regular
Republicans will bo replaced by in
surgents in the next Congress. There
Is no indication that the dissatisfied
voters will send Democrats In place of
regulars, at least In that part of the
country where Insurgency Is strong
est. Nor Is there much intimation t
this time that overthrown regulars will
undertake to knife tickets headed by
their successful Insurgents rivals.
Rather, the tendency is towards recon
ciliation. Rocoevclt Example Effective.
To capture the next House the Demo
crats must carry all the districts ther
bow have, and gain 23. for the present
Republican majority la 44. Are there
22 districts that can be captured this
year? On what issue can the Demo
crats hope to make enough gains to
give tbem the House? They might
have profited by the Republican split
had not Theodore Roosevelt let it be
come known that he was working in
harmony with President Taft. With
those two party leaders working In a.
common cause and to a common end.
insurgents will not be Inclined to go
beyond the point where Roosevelt,

nominees when President Taft Is work

the party, and once more restore har

Democrats might have made a showing
In the campaign. He has declared for
a practical and effective method of
still further reducing the tariff. Item

tariff Issue than can the Democrats,
who confessedly could do nothing with
the House of Representatives when
the Senate and President are Repub
lican. Democrats Would Be Ineffectual.
Then there arises the general and
all important question, "What could a
Democratic House accomplish, if
elected?"
It could not enact partisan legisla
tion, for the Senate would block It. It
could not carry out platform pledges,
nor fulfill promises made In the cam
paign, for the House by Itself Is power
less to legislate. The most a Demo
cratic House could do would be to
pass the customary appropriation bills.
Inoffensive local legislation that goes
through every session, and adjourn. It
could do nothing to attest the good
faith or the effectiveness of the Dem
ocratic party.
Realizing the uselessness of electing
a Democratic House this year, not a
few Democrats are counseling the
party leaders against putting forth any
extreme effort to carry the election
this Fall. These Democrats feel that
If a Democratic House is elected, and
In the end fails to accomplish any
thing worth while, the Democratic
party will be worse off than if the
Republicana remain In control for an
other two years. For, nothing would
do so much to handicap the Democrats
In 1912, assuming they control the next
House, as to be confronted with a rec
ord for inactivity and failure to redeem
pledges. There are those in the Dem
ocratic fold who would have the cam
paign managers allow the election this
year to go by default, conserving all
resources until 1912, when there will
be a chance for capturing the entire
Government. Anything less than that
wilt do the Democracy no good at
present-
CZAR REACHES GERMANY
WAITING POPULACE REWARDED
BY Gf.IMPSE OF ROYALTY.
I'sual Rumors of Plotted Harm Are
Afloat, and Secret Police Make
Arrest as Precaution.
FRIBDBERG. Aug. 30. Emperor
Nicholas and Empress Alexandra of
Russia arrived here safely this after
noon. Their majesties were . accompanied
Into German territory -by a suite of
iO persons. Before the arrival of the
Imperial train great crowds gathered
in the streets in hope of having a view
of .the visitors. They were not disap
pointed, for the Emperor and Empress
were driven from the railway station
to the castle, which they will occupy
while here, in an open automobile. .
The Russian secret police have been
here for several days on the lookout
for anarchists and last night at Bad
Nauhelm took into custody a Russian
named Mandelberg.
Shortly before the royal party ar
rived today the police arrested another
man who is believed to be an anarchist.
It is estimated that no less than 50
Russian and German political agents
are now in Friedberg and adjacent
places.
As Is invariably the case when roy
alties travel, sensational rumors were
afloat today of Impending and actual
harm to the visitors. The arrival, how.
ever, of Nicholas and Alexandra was
attended by no unpleasant incidents.

quires the participation of a considerable
number of such as can be Jje'd together
by the cohesive power of public plunder
and an organisation that must be able
to control to some degree the course of

"This coalition, In its last des-perate

through their spurious" investigation of

whom they had sought to defeat in tho

"The essential condition of honest leg

fundamental. Of what avail Is It to

Governor Deneen declared that every
man seeking support of Republican
voters at the September primaries should
be pledged to stand for good government
and. continuing, eaid:
"The men who created the unusual and
disgraceful conditions In our state should
not be given power'to prolong them. They
have defied Republican? and repudiated
their party platform: they have stood
against representative government aod
for special privileges and for private In
terests. The extent of their malfeasance
In the last General Assembly Is not yet
known, but Is under investigation by
grand Juries and by our courts.
"The issue In this campaign then is:
Shall their records, their organization

proved? Upon that issue there should be
no difference of opinion among good citizens."
