long enough to reach tho asylum farm
six miles south, where he telephoned
to a friend In this city, and then
calmly went out behind a neaf-bjj
wood-pile and blew out his own brains
with the same revolver with which
the murder was committed.
Until he reached the asylum farm

light of dawn and Incandescent elec
tric lights, and seeing blood gushing
from his mouth In a stream, took hold
of him and said:
"My God, Gholson, what has hap

weak voice, pointed to the region of
his wound and sank to the floor.

tiSfflS RESTLESS
Slight Earthquake Shocks Felt at
Naples Yesterday.
GREAT ALARM IS CAUSED
Investigation Showed That a Part of
the Crater Had Fallen In, But No
Indicationa of an Earth
quake. ,
NAPLES, Nov. 10. At noon today
Mount Vesuvius and the surrounding
villages were shaken by a slight
earthquake, followed by a consider
able fall of ashes especially over Ot-
tajano, which was destroyed during
the eruption last April and which is
now In the course of reconstruction.
The phenomenon caused great alarm.
An Investigation showed that a part
of the crater had fallen In. During
the afternoon three more slight shocks
and a further discharge of ashes
blown in the direction of Pompeii and
Ottajano.
Naples has not been affected by the
eruption, although dark columns of
smoke can be seen hovering over the
crater. Professor Matteucei, director
of the Royal Observatory on Vesu
vius, said td an Associated Press
representative: "I do not believe this
Is a new erupttlon, as all phenomena
preceding such is lacking. I think
the rain of ashes is caused by the
slipping down of the superior Hp of
the crater and that the earth trem-
hUnsrs are; dlie to the water from
recent heavy rains having reached the
fire zone Inside the volcano, prouc
Ing Internal explosions."

peche on the south, including all the

for 20 miles Inland. This covers, per
haps, the finest fishing and oyster
territory in the world.

DISGRACE TO THE POLITICS
Eelection in New York Considered a
Painful Proof of tha Degradation
of Publio Life in tha United
States.
LONDON, Nov. 10. The leading
weekly reviews make the recent elec
tion In New York state a feature of
their comment The Saturday Review
describes William R. Hearst as the
Catiline of American politics, and
President Roosevelt as Cicero and fa.
ther of his country, "who saved It by
coming from Oyster Bay to vote in
New York." Continuing the paper
says Mr. Hearst did not altogether fail
in doing what he set out to do. He
is defeated but not crushed as a
presidential candidate, "Who should
be Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hearst rolled
into one. Such a candidate would
have a magnificent chance."
The Outlook says:
"The election from first to last Is
among the most dramatic episodes of
American politics. President Roose
velt In his tremendous indictment of
Mr. Hearst imperiled his own credit.
Nothing but the overwhelming re
sponse of the people could have jus
tified this extraordinary appeal and
this was not forthcoming."
The Spectator believes that defeat
by so narrow a margin shows "Both
the reality of Mr. Hearst's power and
the depth of the grievances which he
professed to remedy," and adds:
"Mr. Hearst remains a vigorous and
dangerous force in American politics."
Then, speaking pessimistically, the
paper says:
"The conduct of the campaign was
a disgrace to both parties; the whole
business from beginning to end was
a painful proof of the degradation of
public life In , the United States."
In conclusion the Spectator says
the fact that almost half the people
of the States should regard Mr.
Hearst as their "political savior," and
'bow grateful knee to Tammany Hall
shows there is "something very rot
ten In American society."

SELECT CANDIDATES
Boss Bonaparts Wants Legalized
Political Boss Elected.
DO AWAY WITH CONVENTIONS
The Boss to be Elected at Primary
Election and Have the Naming of
Candidates, Democrat and
Republican. ,
BALTIMIORE, Nov. 10. In an in
terview today, Secretary of the Navy
Bonaparte advocated the establish
ment of a "legalized boss" In each
of the political parties in each of
the states and cities, the bops to be
empowered to select the candidates
for the various elective offices, there
by doing away with nominations. It
Is hard, he said, Indeed often impos
sible, to get men fit to become can
didates. Unfit candidates can be se
cured by the bushel. By "legalized
boss" I mean an Individual author
ized art behalf of both parties to
choose all candidates of that party
In the elective offices within a desig
nated territory.
Of course, every facility should be
afforded for making Independent nom
inations whether within organized
parties or without, so that all citi
zens who may be dissatisfied with
regular nominations may be able to
vote effectively according to their con
victions. Mr. Bonaparte says the
boss should be elected annually at a
primary held under the law at which
but one office, that of boss, should be
filled.
