BT LLOYD F. LONERGAN.
NEW YORK. Aug. 15. (Special.) A Re
publican of a statistical turn of mind wai
chatting with National Treasurer George
R. Sheldon, at headquarters in the Metro
politan Life Building the other day. He
announced that the United States Senate
was changing Its membership more con
stantly than at any time In Its history,
and Mr. Sheldon was interested.
"Six years is not a long period In Sena
torial history." continued the man with
the figures. "Now in August. 1903, there
were 90 seats in the upper House at
"Washington. How many men who were
Senators then, do you think, will be pres
ent officially when Taft la Inaugurated
President?."
Mr. Sheldon's guess was 65. The correct
answer is 37, or a trifle over one-third of
the membership. And some of these may
not be elected. But 37 is the outside fig-
ure- ' ,
Since Auguet, 1902. 18 Senators have died
In office, an average of three a year; 33
have been retired to private life, eight are
certain to retire on March 4. their suc
cessors having been elected, and at least
two more whose terms expire in March,
1911. are already slated for membership
In the Down and Out Club.v Thte does not
take Into account the fact that a number
of others whose terms end with the com
ing session, will probably have hard fights
to be re-elected.
Here is the detailed account of the
changes In representation from the dif
ferent states:

Simon. Mitchell died In office, and has

Oregon holds the record, as seven men
have had' credentials to Washington in
a little over six years. Up in Maine they
cannot understand it.
Pennsylvania Senators in 1902, Quay
and Penrose. The former was one of the
long list "died in office." His successor

when the Legislature meets, in Jan

men who had served a single term, and
failed to exceed the record themselves.
Present representatives, Levi Ankeny and
Samuel H. Piles. Ankeny Is up for re
election this year. It is a long way from
the Bowery to Walla Walla,-but it looks
here as if Senator Ankeny had had a
busy Summer..
West Virginia Senators in 1902, Nathan
B. Scott and Stephen B. Elkins. They
were elected as soon as the Republicans
captnred the state, and will probably stay
"In" until the Democrats gain control.
Wisconsin Senators in 1902, John C.
Spooner and J. C. Quarles. La Follette
ousted Quarles, Spooner resigned and
Isaac Stephenson, who took his place. Is
stumping the state seeking re-election.

Clark and Francis EL Warren. Still in
ofTlce.
. Piatt and Depew represented New York
In 1902. The. former will be retired in
March. Depew has two years more to
serve, and then he will Join Piatt. Neither
one of them has the slightest Influence in
politics today.
To sum the matter up. only 12 states
have retained their membership un
changed during six years, 16 have held ons
Senator, while 17 states have been repre
sented by at least four different men dur
ing the six years.
Ten Unchangeable States.
The "unchangeable" states are Georgia,
Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, New Hamp
shire, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island,
Texas, Virginia. West Virginia and
Wyoming. But New York will throw out
Piatt next March, and Foraker Is seem
ingly doomed: which should rightfully re
duce the number to ten. And Wetmore,
of Rhode Island was out of office for over
a year. '
CLERKS OUTWIT. ROBBERS
Registered Letters DumpeuT Into
Newspaper Sacks and Saved.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 15. Tricked
ty the quick wit of mail clerks, little
plunder Is believed to have been cap
tured by the two masked men who held
up the Northern Pacific westbound pas
senger train Just east of Spokane last
night. Warned that the robbers were
coming, the olerks took advantage of
the time after the train had been cut
in two, and threw, the local registered
packages into a newspaper sack, where
they were not noticed. So far as re
ported, the only booty stolen was the
pouch of registered mall sent from Chi
cago to Spokane, and ons for Seattle,
made up along the road. Neither is
known to have carried any packages
of great value.
The search for the robbers continues.
It Is believed they hurried to the city
and are in hiding here. One suspect
has been captured, having been found
on top of the train after the robbery.
He gives the name of Frank Snyder
and may prove to be a plain hobo who
was simply stealing a ride.
Chorus Girls In pemand.
CHICAGO, Aug. 15. There is a famine
in chorus girls. The big show towns like
Chicago, New York, Boston and Philadel
phia, where companies are rehearsing for
the opening of the season, are suffering
from the lack of shapely young women
who can dance and- sing. One-night
stands have' not yet felt the effects of
the shortage. But it is not Improbable
that these places will be called upon to
furnish "merry villagers" end "Amaxons"
for more than one musical comedy be
fore the theatrical season of 1903-09 is well
under way. Stage folks say that never
before was there such a scarcity of
chorus girls. New York managers have
sent emissaries to Chicago during the
last two weeks to engage all the girls
they could get.
Cabrera Releases Captives.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 15. The foreign
office received the following message
from Senor Luis Pardo, minister to Gua
temala, from Mexico: .
"Upon the personal request of the dele
gates to the Pan-American Medical Con
gress from Uruguay, Costa Rica and Mex
ico, President Estrada Cabrera has lib
erated the women and political prisoners
incarcerated since the attempt was made
upon his life."
This Information was received with
much satisfaction by the Mexican offi
cials here and it Is considered indica
tive of the dawn of peaee -hoped for by
all well wisher of the Central American

FOR BRYAN TICKET
Tammany Bosses Have Hands
Full With Situation in
State
NEGLECT NATIONAL FIGHT
Mack Keeps Promise to Allow Con
ners and Murphy to Conduct
Campaign and Branch Nation
al Headquarters Deserted.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. (Special.) A dis
patch from Albany brings this important
Intelligence: "The first lot of Bryan and
Kern buttons were received at the state
headquarters here today." This is the
first and only indication that the Demo
crats are making a fight in the Empire
State. And so far as can be discovered, if
you want a button it is necessary to
pay your own fare to the capital before
you get one.
Tammany Leader Murphy is the director-general
of the state organlxation. He
consented to ' "confer" with National
Chairman Thomas E. Mack, but only as
a matter of policy. Mack, believes In
"whooping things up." He told Murphy
so, but the Tammany boss was only
slightly Interested.
"You have lots to do without worrying
about New York." said Murphy. "Our
state committee will attend to everything.
Lovely weather. Isn't it?"
Mr. Mack is complaining privately that
Mr. .Murphy Is "lacking in enthusiasm."
Mr. Murphy has heard all about it, and
he merely smiles.
It Is over a month since the Denver
convention was held, and except In
Brooklyn, no Democratic meeting to ra
tify the nominations of Bryan and Kern
has been held In the city or state. Usual
ly Tammany ratifies a National ticket
Just as soon after a convention as a
bunch of spellbinders can be rounded up
and fireworks purchased. This time
Leader Murphy has not even fixed a date
for a meeting.
- Wolves in Sheeps' Clothing.
"McCarren got on the Job as soon as
he returned from Denver," said a dis
gusted Democrat today. "It was good
politics on his part, even though his fol
lowers will probably slash Bryan right
and left. Funny isn't It. that the only
Democrats who have indorsed Bryan are
men who hate him, and who will prob
ably vote for his opponent?"
When the matter was called to Mur
phy's attention he made this statement:
"The reason why no Invitation has been
sent to Bryan is that no campaign sub
committees have as yet been formed by
either Tammany or the state organiza
tion. There Is no need to rush things.
I do not think that there will be any at
tempt to get the campaign going in this
state until after the state convention."
The state committee will meet next Fri
day to fix the date for the convention.
Present indications are that it will be
held In Rochester on or about September
16. This means that there will be no
whoops for Bryan, until about six weeks
before election.
. Bosses Are Too Busy.
According to Democrats, not in sym
pathy with 'their rulers. Chairman
Connera and Leader Murphy; are so
busy trying to straighten out the sit
uation in the state to suit themselves,
that they have no time to do any work
for Candidate Bryan. The make-up of
the state ticket promises to cause them
a lot of worry, and keep them busy
night and day until the convention
meets. Both men, it is said, realize
that they cannot elect a state ticket
unless they can, in some way, smooth
over the bad feeling created by their
action in throwing out delegates and
members of the state committee at the
May convention.
"Flngy" Conners. in conversation the
other day, explained the difficulties in
his delightfully naive way, he said:
"Me and Charlie have got to keep
on kicking McCarren . out, because we
don't like him. We want harmony, but
we will not stand for McCarren. He's
a Standard Oil crook, and me and
Charlie stand for decency in politics."
Discontent In Brooklyn. 1
Brooklyn has always been a storm
center, and within the past few days
Bird S. Coler has poured oil upon the
blazing fire of discontent. Coler was
picked out by Murphy as the man to
lead the battle on McCarren. He made
a pitiful showing In the primaries, al
though his delegates were seated on
Murphy's orders. Coler falls to real
ize that he is simply a Tammany pup
pet. A few days ago he announced
that he was a candidate for the Guber
natorial nomination and he forgot to
speak to Murphy before he launched
his boom. The next day reporters
asked Murphy about the possibilities
for the state ticket,' On that occasion
the Boss talked more freely than
usual:
"There are bushels of candidates,"
he said, then added with a grin, "I
see Bird Coler has nominated himself
for Governor."
Tammany men have taken this as a
cue that Coler has Joined the organi
zation's "down and out" club. They
also say that his leadership has been
taken away from him, although he
does not know it.
Seven district leaders in Brooklyn
deserted McCarren when Coler raised
the standard of revolt. Four of them
hold office under the borough presi
dent, and are still loyal. The other,
three, one by one, have called on
Murphy to explain that "Coler is a
Joke and the Joke is on us."
Changes Coat Easily.
"He changes his political belief as
regularly as a dude changes his shirt,"
remarked one veteran worker. "He
has the stability of a Jelly fish, the
Judgment of a Long Island hen. and
the personal magnetism of a softshell
crab."
Whereat Murphy laughed, for the
first time in a month.
"We don't nominate men who launch
their own booms at public meetings, as
Coler did," said a man who holds con
fidential relations with Boss Murphy.
"Mr. Murphy lost all patience when he
realized that Coler, had been indulging
in another Coleresque stunt to bring him
self into the political limelight. Coler
now has as much chance of securing the
support of Tammany for. gubernatorial
honors as has Pat McCarren. ,
"Coler's boom Is going on the rocks.
After the Democratic State convention Is
over it will be among the missing ships.
And we are going to take good care that
It will be the most complete political ship
wreck that ever happened on these
shores."
McCarren Has Confidence.
McCarren Is confident of making a clean
sweep of the primaries, especially since
the unanimous decision of the Appellate
Division, which gives him all the election
patronage. He says he does not care
who Murphy picks out as his Brooklyn,
n llinnll I lieutenant. Any xammanx man is ; -
doomed to a crushing defeat? he declares. ,
To emphasize the "harmony mat ex
. Ists in the Democratic camp these days, j
here are extracts irom a signer statement
given out by McCarren in reply to the
question, ''What is the motive of Mur
phy's fight On you?" Senator McCarren
says:
"These fellows, Murphy and Conners,
are Egyptians. They belong to the dark
ages. They had an idea they could come
over here, sandbag the .primary law,
rough-house us and get control this side
of the river. They hadn't heard that
we have a primary law, and that it has
come to stay. .If I had a 10-year-old son
who didn't know better I'd whip him.
Murphy is a pig-headed, thick-headed.
. ignorant '. fellow. and he Is insanely
Jealous. I suppose he was afraid some
body would think he was not the whole
political brains -of the state.
Thought It Would Be Easy.
"He took it Into his plghead to Tara
manylze Brooklyn, and he thought it a
very easy thing to do. He tried to bru
talize the machine. He thought that
all that was necessary for him and Con
ners to do was to throw somebody out
and then take hold. It was the most
childish idea for any man who pretends
to be at the head of a great political
organization. If Murphy had any sense
he would be ashamed of himself."
All of which does not conduce very
strongly for harmony.
Murphy and Conners are worried over
the gubernatorial nomination. They be
lieve they will be able to nominate any
body they pick out, but the Ideal candi
date must fulfill these requirements:
He must be a man who voted for Bryan
in 1898 and 1900, but did it so unobtrusively
that the conservative Democrats will
not hold It against him.
He must be willing to allow Murphy
and Conners to control his administra
tion If elected, but still have the power
to hold the Independent voters, who hate
Murphy and Conners, In line.
Gaynor Leads All.
Of course In the preliminary gossip the
name of Judge Gaynor, of Brooklyn, leads
all the rest. Neither Murphy or Con
ners Is hot on the proposition, as they
believe the Judge Is too independent for
this purpose. And a number of Demo
crats are worrying these great leaders
by Inquiring, with enthusiasm, "What
is the matter with Judge Gaynor?"
Up at Buffalo a boom has been started
for the nomination of Mayor J. N.
Adams. Ever since the news was broken
to State Chairman Conners he has been
busy trying to head off the Adam workers
but thus far he has met with Indifferent
success. Mayor Adam is now in Scotland,
where he invariably spends his Summers.
Two years ago his name was suggested
for the place, but the Adams boomers
did not get busy until a few days before
the convention and then It was too late.
They say that they are starting out
early this year, and that the Democratic
organization of Erie County will be for
the Mayor to a man, not withstanding
any possible opposition from Conners.
The state chairman's candidate Is
Lieutenant-Governor . Chanler, who Is
anxious for promotion and has a large
barrel. He is opposed in many sections
of the state, but is far and away the
leading candidate at present.
Every Indication is that the powers
that be are not staying awake nights
hoping for Bryan's Invasion. Many lead
ers tell with bitterness how at the time
of the Denver convention whenever the
Bryan managers and shouters sang
"Hall Hall! The gang's on deck," they
would end the song with "To with
New York."
Planned to Ignore State.
The Empire State was conceded to
Taft and the idea of making a campaign
here for Bryan was discouraged. The
Bryan programme was to pay no atten
tion to New York. When the Peerless
One insisted On the re-election of Nor-,
man E. Mack as New York s member
,of the National. Committee, Murphy and
Conners were disposed to sulk. But
they were partially pacified by a promise
that they should be allowed to run the
campaign in this state. Then occurred
in rapid succession,, the election of Mack
as chairman of the National Committee,
and the location of the main head
quarters in Chicago. When Chairman
Mack came here to open branch head
quarters, Leader Murphy, insisted that
the agreement be lived up to, and Mack
promised to keep his hands off.
Rooms were engaged for branch head
quarters, and for' a few days there was
quite a flurry of Democrats about the
Hoffman House. Mr. Mack announced
that Mr. Bryan would make at least
three speeches in thjs state, and that he
might repeat the visit and the speeches
after the state convention. Then Chair
man Mack went away to Chicago, Leader
Murphy went back to Good Ground, the
branch headquarters is deserted and
there stands the Bryan campaign in New
York at present.
"Bob" Taylor's Lament.
United States Senator "Bob" Taylor,
of Tennessee, had a conference with
Bryan at Lincoln the ' other day and at
the conclusion he unburdened himself
as follows:
"It Is hard for anybody. in Mr. Bryan's
position to get the plain truth. Between
sycophants and liars that surge around
the man hourly only the things that are
pleasant are likely to be told him. The
fight we are entering upon is going to be
close extremely close or it will be a
landslide one way or the other. In my
travels through the West since the Den
ver convention I have heard more Bryan
than Taft talk, but I don't know what it
means. The close states of the East are
full of mystery. Let's penetrate that
mystery and find out what's behind it. I
assume that this is one of the chief ob
jects of the conference Mr. Bryan desires
to hold at Chicago with party leaders
from all parts of the country."
Friend of Boss Talks.
An active Democrat, who is close to
the boss, was asked to comment on the
statement of Senator Taylor. He re
fused to allow his name to be used, but
here is what he had to say:
"The close states of the East full of
mystery! There Isn't any mystery In
New York. The state committee runs
the campaign, Tammany controls the state
committee. Murphy bosses Tammany and
Murphy doesn't care a tinker's dam
about Bryan. It is as simple as the
House that Jack Built."
Lose American Citizenship
WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. Consul-Gen-eral
Ernest L. Harris, of Smyrna, has
communicated with the State Depart
ment concerning the settlement of an up
rising at Nikari, ln which 60 naturalized
American citizens were Implicated. The
trouble arose over a tax levied by the
Government upon the tobacco plantations,
the owners of which claim that the plan
tations had been exempted from taxation
by an imperial order. During the upris
ing nearly all of the naturalized Ameri
can citizens obtained Turkish passports,
which nullified their American citizen-

HOUSES NEEDED IN EUGENE
Buildings Rented Long Before Com
pleted, So Great Is Demand.
EUGENE, Or., Aug. 15. (Special.)
With 167 buildings ln course of con
struction, Eugene's problem of furnish
ing houses to newcomers does not seem
any nearer a solution than it was a
year ago. There Is not a good dwelling-house
standing Idle, and the same
condition applies to the demand for
offices ln the business section. Two
large apartment-houses not yet com
pleted have every room engaged.
The scarcity of houses is so serious
that the Commercial Club may begin
an advertising campaign, publishing
the needs of the city, . the value of
property, the cost of material and prices
paid for dwellings, ln the hope that
some outside capital may be interested
ln helping solve the problem.
The local mills have more work than
they can do, one of them running a
night shift. One mill has been com
pelled to turn down all orders for mill
work that must be completed within a
month, and some large contracts will
not be considered at all.
Fraud in Manila Election.
MANILA. Aug. 15. The local police
have discovered that copies of the official
ballots used in the recent municipal elec
tion in this city were stolen prior to the
election and used in a-n illegal manner at
the polls. The extent of the fraud is
unknown as yet, but It is thought that
the ballots were used chiefly to make
certain of the manner in which the sup
porters of certain candidates voted. It is
expected that the election will be' con
tested, which will permit the opening of
the ballot boxes in order that an ex
amination of the handwriting on the
ballots may be made. Many protests
against the seating of Simeon Villa,
elected Alderman at this election, have
been received by the Governor, but no
action has been taken in the matter as
yet.
Strike Snag in Thaw Case.
PITTSBURG, Aug. 16. As no one en
tered an appearance for H. K. Thaw, when
his trial for bankruptcy was held before
Referee Blair yesterday, the fixing of the
date for the first meeting of the credi
tors was postponed indefinitely, and it Is
said will not now be considered until
his attorney- or some one else interested
makes application to have the time fixed.
There is a report current that the at
torneys have found in the proceedings
up to date a serious obstacle before fur
ther proceedings are had, lest it should
interfere with the plan to have Thaw
brought here to face his creditors. Just
what this obstacle Is. Is not disclosed,
but it is said it concerns the Eastern
creditors of .Thaw.'
