Oklahoma City, Aug. 14.-(8peol«J.)-
There seems to be not much doubt but
that the mystery surrounding the horrible
urder and the headless corps* is about
. ** eolved.
The Ok lahoma n of this city say®:
"A telegram was received yesterday
evening fom Stun Bartell, which stales
that he has picked up the trail of Wood
King, the man who was with Frank Hop-
per In Oklahoma City and who Is charged

will In all probability overtake him tn a
day or two.
But Utile new evidence mgalnst Frank
Hopper has been made public tout the of-
ficers are confident that he to one ot the
men wanted.
Yesterday morning S. I. R. MoCuan,
foreman at Morrow's wagon yard, went
to the jail to see Hopper. The prisoner
recognised (hkn at once and the recogni-
tion was mutual. MoCuan staites ttoat
Hopper Is one of the three men who left
the yard together on Thursday aftrenoon
about one hour by sun. i&lck, the blonde
man was drinking heavily at that timve.
"Mr. Morrow says tihat Rick was

like a farmer, that Etafc was in the store
several times to buy nobaooo and cigars.
Ho had very little to way, In fact Hopper
did the talking for -the entire party. Hop-
per said that he and King had oome to
Oklaihoma Olty on a gambling expedition
and that King was a crap shooter.
••plwe three men were seen at a gamb-
ling house In this city. Hopper was gamb-
ling and Kick was furnishing the money
The men took their meals ut th* Broad

St. Louis, Aug. 14.—A Washington spec-
ial to the Republic says:
A prominent western politician now In
the city is authority for tha statement
waa aubacrlbed for the relief of the P«rlo (hal nlanJr ot PreifldeIlt McKlnloy'n close
Rlcon tlilricane .ufterers. A large «h.l>- exp(.ct Wm ,Q declUie t0 h8 a can
dldate for renomlimtlon.
This gentleman was a member of the
last house and recently has come from
a short vacation spent amonjr former
colleagues In New England. At a small
dinned In Newport a few diys ago, at-
tended by two republican member* of the
house who always have been unswerving
friends of President McKlnley, the
conversation turned upon politics and the
probable candidates for 11m). The gentle-
mon stated positively their understand-
ing to be that Mr. McKlnley had express-
ed his desire to retire from politics at
the end of this term, and their belief that
he would not be urged by- Ma rk Hanna
and his closest advisers to decide differ-
ently.
They stated that the president's Inten-
tion had been expressed nmt Ion gago, at
a conference with certain New York re-
publicans, Just previous t\) the appoint-
ment of Elihu Root to be secretary of
war. While the qualifications of Mr.
Root wwe being considered, the New
Yorkers took occasion to discuss at some
length the general political situation, and
especially the lack of support which the
eastern states are giving to the adminis-
tration's policy In the Philippines. It de-
veloped that the president was following
closely the tone of the eastern press, and,
with great regret, recognised the fact
that he did not have behind him tits par-
ty In the states of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Rhode Island. Masachus-
etts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
To a suggestion by one of the gentle-
men at the conference that Mr. McKilnb y
was the logical nomine*, for 1900, the pres-
ident recalled the fact that no president
had succeeded himself since 1782, although
a number of excellent men had made^tfce
effort to do so. He stated, also, It Is said
thnt his health had been Impaired and
that the White house had Imposed nunj
burdens from wlrfch both he and Mrs.
McKlnley would root be sorry t j be re-
leased.
He referred also to the thousands of
friends estranged by failure to receive
desired appointments; and he added with
posltlveness that If republican suocess In
hitherto reliable states were to be endan-
gered by his nomination, as now seemed
Inevitable, he would decline the honor,
gratefully, but with firmness.
The republicans at the Newport dinner
predicted at the proper time President
McKlnley would mnke public announce-
ment of this position nnd that the sup-
port of the administration would go to
Governor Roosevelt.
