yesterday and are ready printed at

tarted to the Interior through under

van the information that the many

It i evident that the proletariat or

the government' choosing does not
mean that it I not their intention to

The constitutional democrat are hold

MANY MEN
AVAILABLE
Democrats Can Easly Fill
Governor's Chair.
IN NEW YORk STATE
Alton B. Parker Says Party Is Rich
in Available Can
didates. HEARST IS SEVERELY SCORED
Even As One of the Party, Hearst Does
Not Look Good to Parker
Is Allied With the
Independents.
UTICA. X. Y, July 28.-Former
Judge Alton B. Parker, in an interview
here today, dicued the coming State
election. He declared that tha demo
cratic party was rich in men who could
fill the office of Governor. He said that
while with possibly two exception, none
of these men waa a candidate, yet be
did not believe that any of them would
refuse to serve If called upon.
"But," taid the Interviewer, "you have
not mentioned Mr. Hearst, who i die
eunsed every day a a candidate."
"The laet utterance of Mr. Hearst I
have read," said the judge, "waa to the
effect that he intended to accept the
nomination of the Independence League.
He stated in an interview in the Brook
lyn Kagle of June 12: 'If I am nomi
naled by the Independence party, it
will be on a platform that expreese the
principles I believe, and I will make tho
campaign on that platform and no other
consideration will enter into the matter.
There will be no deal or bargain made
with the leader of mj political ma
chine, but everyone indorsing the aenti-
ment of the Independence party will be
invited to support its candidates.' That
language is unambiguous and announces
clearly his intention to be a candidate
on the plateform only of the Independ
ence League.".
"While I know," added Mr. Parker,
that such assertions are constantly
made and that some delegatea to the
democratic convention favorable to Mr,
Hearst have been chosen, it would seem
a if all this should be credited to over
zealous friends, for certainly Mr. Hearst
is too shrewd a man to believe it pos
sible tluit a democratis convention will
ever lie made up of delegate ao abso
lutely pusillanimous as to surrender to
one demanding that the party deliver
up to him the honor and power he
covets."

TO SELL ISLANDS
Ex-President of Ecuador Offers
to SeiiGalapagos Island.
PROPOSITION MADE SECRETLY
Garcia First Offers to Sell the Islands
to France and Then to United
States Roosevelt Answers
the Proposal.
GUAYAQUIL, July 28.-Covernmect
newspapers have caused a sensation here
by the publication of documents found
among ex-President Garcia's private
papers.
The document found treats of the sale
of the Galapagos Islands to the United
States. It appears the islands were first
offered to France. Garcia's memorandum
says:
"AYhile in Washington I visited Pres
ident Roosevelt and inquired into the
question whether the United States waa
disposed to take over the Galapagos Isl
ands, paying Ecuador $5000 in gold for
them. Mr. Roosevelt's reply said he
would recommend the proposal to Con
gress and was sure it would be accepted
offering to appoint the American minis
ter to continue negotiations in Quito.
A few days later Joseph W. J. Lee, the
American minister to Ecuador arrived
in Ecuador." It appears the Alvaro .
revolution, which resulted in the over
throw of Garcia ended the negotiations.
The official papers call Garcia and his
minister traitors for trying to sell part
of the national territory. Negotiations
with France are said to have been in
terrupted owing to the belief that
United States would not consent to a
European power acquiring the islands.
A meeting waa called at Quito, tho
capital last night to protest against this
action of Garcia and his ministers.
