Nf2W YORK, June 19. The World today publishes a . dispatch from Princeton. N. J, quoting- former Presi dent Cleveland as say in . "It Is perfectly absurd to suppose for nn Instant that I have any desire to re-enter public life. Nor have I re motely entertained the thought since I lft Washington, more than six years ago. .'The matter is as far from my thoughts as it was iii 1896, when, all must admit,' It was not within my bear ing or my sight. I have no higher as piration than to pass my days in peace with my family around me. and take no part in politics which any private Htizen cannot take with the utmost propriety, j , "I have not spoken to anybody on the subject! of a fourth candidacy. I have never! written to single political friend one way or the other, nor have I l-en written to" or spoken to by them. There is not a political leader . of any prominence endeavoring Ao advance nny movement to nominate me In any Plate, so far as I have been advised, nor do I anticipate that any such effort will be made by any leader, prominent or obscure. In any locality in the coun? 'try- - . '.- "I have on several occasions within a year undertaken to perform the labor which usually , falls to the pri vate In the ranks, but there has not lurked within me the hope of any re ward, save the- consciousness of having made an effort assist in bringing alout salutary condition In the party."

In his satchel was found a full bank ing,, outfit. Including 600 Imitation drafts on the. National Park Bank, of New York. ? The police of Chicago have been" working on the case for more than a year, or ever since it was dis covered that the drafts -were printed In this city, where the "professor ap parently had headquarters. The alias. "Professor Arthur." was the name under which he made his last arr?arance as "an eminent member of the faculty of Hamilton College," as he J reported to have represented him self.

Captain Ewen said he would remain here until Monday night and then either go to parts unknown or apply for board. at the Lexington jaiL He said he was afraid he would--be assassinated by the Jackson men even here. As Ewen is the only eye-witness against Jett and White-who will testify, it is feared he will be disposed of before a new trial at Cynthlana. The residentsiere feel if the verdict today had been one of conviction, vio lence would have followed and It would have extended to others than the wit nesses, jurors and those who took part In the prosecution. Much apprehension exists in the community for the future and many here share in the movement to have Breathitt county ; annexed to the other counties- .although Jackson Would lose prestigel as the couty seat. Some hold by the riddance of the so called "Court House Ring," the town would gain more than it j would lose.

June 19. A settlement of the strike of the waiters and cooks was reached tonight, the i majority of the men return to work tomorrow. The union Is not recognized. ; Start, your candidate early 'Us best. to allow the Constitution two to three minutes In a thirty-mile race which. If true, would give today's race to the older boat.

CONDIllONIS DEPLORABLE i r Ten More Bodies Found In Debris at Heppner TO ABANDON THE SEARCH After Three Gangs of "Men Ransack Wreckage for Bodies Today PROVISIONS AND LABORERS ARE PLENTIFUL BUT MORE MONEY IS NEEDED BADLY LIBERAL CONTRIBUTIONS BEING FOR WARDED FROM ALU OVER. . HEPPNER, Or, June 19. Ten more bodies were found In the debris along Willow creek today.. Three gangs of men will continue the search for bodies tomorrow and then the task will be given up. The town Is in a deplorable condition and Mayor Gilliam says more money is needed Immediately. The O. R. & N. Co. will have Its line repaired by tomorrow morning when the regu lar service to this point will be re sumed, 'i a ' : V' 1' L The apparent stoicism of the surviv ors who have lost relatives Is astonish ing, the, only explanation - being that the situation is not yet realized. Real ization wll come when the thousands of helpers leave town and the remaining- population finds the streets desert ed. Many, women said today they were afraid to stay here when the peo ple were left alone with their dead. Men talk with dry eyes of wives f and children killed. Many say that they do. not know yet what has happened. " A pitiful scene was witnessed last evening In the morgue, when a mother and her babe flay side by side, having been found together in 1 a drift- two miles below town, from which six bo dies had already been taken, with more to come. The woman was Mrs. George Kinsley. There are many children still to fin 2. ' "' No more laborers are needed, as all that can be fed are here, i Mayor Frank Gilliam and Sheriff E. M. Shutt have Issued orders to all per sons not, working or with business to transact to leave town as soon as pos sible. No attempt'. Is being made to save boards or timber It Is a question of a-etting the ruins out of sight. . j The question of rebuilding the town is still unsettled. Some think that V place is permanently, injured, and a majority think it win not be rebuilt for several years. Leading-. men. how ever, declare that fine brick structures will go up strong enough to withstand floods: that the streets will be terraced back from the creek, and that new and better homes will be erected on the hillsides. Heppner's location at the mouth of thevfour canyons makes re building in the bottoms a dangerous proposition. ;) P. C. Crlswall, a local cattleman, has given 100 head of cattle to the flood survivors, and has donatedjMOOd, all he had in the bank, to the sufferers. I Bodies Carried 100 Miles. Carson. Skamania county. Wash. June 19. Sheriff Jonh T. Tott and P. E. Michell, Justice of the Peace, were notified yesterday, that the bodies of a woman and a boy had been foundcast ashore at Carson Landing on the Co lumbia river. The bodies showed signs of , having been In the water for at least three or four days, and Were somewhat mutilated. This leads to the belief that they are the remains of vic tims of the Heppner disaster, carried away with the .current, which is flow ing rapidly at this time. The Generous Woodmen. Indianapolis, Ind.. June 19, The con vention of the Modern Woodmen of the World today decided to meet In June, 1905, at Milwaukee. A resolution was unanimously adopted appropriating $50,000 for the aid of the flood sufferers in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois and Oregon. ' - . . Butte, Mont., June 19.

Fearing; that the 'man might commit some serious act the residents of (he district asked for "police Interference and Lane will search the woods for the wild man. So far the unfortunate's Identity Is unknown. WORSE THAN A NIGHTMARE. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash, June If. During- the storm Sunday night lightn ing played a queer prank at the home of W. E.' Thompson, on the Cowyhee. A bolt entered the rear of the house, tearing off a window casing- as It pass ed in and breaking' out all the glass In the window. An iron bedstead In which two men were sleeping- was struck, bending the large frame out of place in many parts of It. The bolt was di vided by one of the posts, one fork passing to a cupboard and shattering U and then passing through, the floor in the room. The other bolt glanced to the chimney and. followed It down to the first floor to the stove and passed out through the floor by one of the stove legs. The occupants of the bed were uninjured. . - : JUDGE WILL AVOID CLASH Will Not Attempt to Enforce His Injunction Order ATTORNEY GENERAL KNOX Renders an Opinion Holding . Government Opinion as . Being Sound AN EFFORT WILL, BE MADE TO LAUNCH SEIZED GUNBOAT GAL VESTON COURTS CANNOT MAKE ORDER TO INTERFERE ' WITH THE GOVERNMENT. WASHINGTON, June 19. The time of the Cabinet meeting- today was con sumed in a, large part In considering the decision of the United States Gov ernment to disregard the decision of Virginia and seize the uncompleted gunboat Galveston, at Trigg-. Shipyards Richmond. Attorney General Knox presented an opinion strongly affirming the right of the .Government to dis regard the injunction. In opinion Attorney-General Knox Says;. "Right of a party In ordalnary liti gation, to the release of property for at tachment upon giving, a bond for in demnity is fundamental. . It manifestly applies with, greater force and reason in a case affecting the government than where the interests of private liti gants alone are involved. -Statute 1864 enables the government, although not a party, nor in . general , subject to be made such, to Intervene without pre judice and invoke that doctrine. The cabinet, . after -considering the opinion, unanimously ""cidd that the government case was sound, and an ef fort will be made to launch the boat next Monday. - It is expected that the Virginia judge will recede ? from his position and avoid a clash at Rich mond. - CLAIMED BY DEATH MRS.
