NAVY TO THE RESCUE.
Now
Co-Operatlng With the Army to
Maotaln Strict Blockade.
New York Aug. 13. A special
dispatch to the Herald from Wash-
ington says:
Serious consideration is being
given by the authorities to the
question of suppressing the legal
trading in the Philippines and the
territory under their control and
the outside world. The situation
is complicated. according to ad-
vices from General Otis by the
action of Aguinaldo in interdicting
traffic between the natives of sea-
ports not under the control of the
American forces and ships of
American register. This inter-
diction General Otis says is in
relation for his action in issuing
license to persons in Manila to con-
tinue trading in the staple products
of the island.
Military ollicers say the native
inhabitants of Manila now rely
largely upon their commercial trad
ing transportations for their liveli
hood and they see in Aguiualdn's
decree an attempt to stop the trade
between Manila and other organ-
ized points in the hope of throwing
a starving city on General Otis'
hands. Authorities are much ex-
ercised over the possibility of a
ereneral smuggling of hemp and rice
These articles have appreciated in
value 30O per cent and the immen.se
gain to be secured is a great temp-
tation to smugglers.
Hear Admiral Watson is co-
operating with the array to prevent
the continuance of the illegal trad-
ing and in a dispatch to the navy
department today he announced
that on account of the necessity of
preventing such trading he would
be unable to send any of his ships
north as advised by Acting Secre-
tary Allen.
At a conference held by Secre-
tary of War Root with Acting
Secretary of the Navy Allen the
advisability of proclaiminga block-
ade of certain ports was discuss-
ed but on account of the statu
which such action would give to
the struggle in the islands it is
doubtful if action of a formal
character will be taken. A block-
ade in fact however will exist
stricter in character than that now
enforced the purpose being to pre-
vent military supplies or assist-
ance of any kind reaching Aguin-
aldo during the rainy season and
to keep his army as unprepared as
possible for the fall campaign.

More Troops For Otis.
Washington Aug. 13. It was
learned this afternoon that Secre-
tary Root contemplates increasing
the American forces in the Phil-
ippines beyond the 50000 already
provided. While no definite num-
ber has been determined upon the
question of enlisting more volun-
teers is seriously considered. Gen-
eral Miles favors this step. Secre-
tary Root said today that at pres-
ent the department was preparing
to give Otis an average of 50000
men before the middle of Novem-
ber and added that more would be
sent if needed.
Indications now are that Otis
will be retained in command.

OUTCOME AT ATHENS.
Judge Lipscomb Remanded Seven
De-
fendanta Without Ball.
Athens Tex. Aug. 12. The
argument in the habeas corpus
hearing was concluded by Judge
Morris for the state at 4:30 o'clock
this afternoon and at about 4:45
Judge Lipscomb announced that
Ed Cain who is charged as an ac-
complice in the Humphries lynch-
ing would be admitted to bail in
the sum of $2000 and that the
other seven men were remanded to
jail without bail.
The courthouse has been crowd-
ed to its fullest capacity all day
with anxious spectators who began
to assemble there long before court
convened this morning.
As soon as the argument was
concluded the crowd began to
leave the courtroom as it had been
stated and generally believed that
the Judge would not announce his
decision for two or three days.
At 5 o'clock Jim Patterson who
is charged witu killing Constable
Rhodes was brought into court on
ex-parte hearing before Judge
Lipscomb and by agreement of
both counsel for state and defense
admitted to bail in the sum of
$1500.

One of the James Gang.
Liberty Mo. Aug. 12. "Jim"
Cummings who was a member of
the James gang has come back to
his old home in the northern part
of Clay county after an absence of
25 years.
He was indicted in 1874 for
stealing a neighbor's horse and he
will answer to the charge if called
upon. He may not be prosecuted
as the horse was recovered and it
is doubtful if he could be convicted.
Cummings has been in various
parts of the country and states
that he served as a Deputy United
States Marshal at Eureka Springs
Ark. for a while. He has been
reported dead several times. His
name was recalled vividly when
in 187 Wittrock the man who
robbed the Adams Express com
pany at St. Louis assumed it.

Oklahomans Mob Mormons.
Perry Okla. August 13. -Three
Mormon elders were treated
severely at the hands of several
masked men near Sinnvtt the other
night. For weeks these preachers
have been proselyting in Eastern
Oklahoma and they have been
warned to leave several communi-
ties. They have been visiting the
home of Dom Raney which has
very objectionable to Raney. His
wife is a believer in the Mormon
faith. The preachers held a meet-
ing in a vacated residence near
there and in midst of a sermon
Tuesday evening a crowd of men
egged and stoned the elders till
they were compelled to nee from
the house leaving the handful of
hearers.
An Object Lesson.
The following clipping is taken
from the Ryan Record and is plain
enough:
A farmer bv the name of S. II.
Johnson from near Fox was here
Monday with 500 bushels of oats
saying he had seen in the Record
that grain was selling at a better
price here than in any of the sur
rounding towns. He brought 10
wagon loads and realized 21 cents
per bushel three cents more than
the Ardmore price on the same
date. He will bring the remainder
of his crop to this place. In con
sequence our merchants sold more
than $50 worth of irierchnndise in
a trade territory belonging to Ard
more.

M.
Laborl. Drfyfus Counsel Ambushed
and Shot la Back.
Rennes Aug. 14. Two men
ambushed Maitre Labori consul
for Dreyfus and one shot was
fired hitting Labori in the back.
M. Labori fell in the roadway.
He is still alive.
Rennes Aug. 14. Maitre La-
bori left his house alone for the
court at about 6 o'clock this morn-
ing. His residence is situated in the
suburbs of the town about a quar-
ter of an hour's walk from the
Lycee the route being along a sol-
itary road beside the river Vilaine.
He had reached a point h?ilf way
on his journey when two men who
had evidently been lying in wait
for him rushed out of a nanow
lane and one of them fired a single
shot from a revolver.
The murderers were only a cou-
ple of yards behind their victim
and the bullet struck Maitre Labo-
ri in the back. The wounded man
uttered an agonized cry and fell
flat on his face. The murderers
immediatly fled through the lane
from whith they had emerged and
both escaped.
At 7:20 o'clock it was announc-
ed that the bullet had eutered the
stomach; that there was no out-
ward bleeding and that the physi-
cians believed that M. Labori will
die from the wound.
Rennes Aug. 14. A later story
has it that Maitre Labori was shot
in the temple by a man who fired
a revolver at him outside the court
and that the miscreant was arres-
ted. A Clue An Arrest.
Oklahoma City Okla. Aug. 13.
Frank Hopper is in Oklahoma City
jail charged with the murder of A.
J. Lick whose headless body was
found floating down the river on
Aug. 4. Hooper was arrested at
his home near Lexington Okla.
yestesday by County Attorney W.
R. Taylor.
The identity of the murdered
man was a mystery until Thursday
when the officers discovered on the
road near where the body was
found the ashes of a campfire.
There was blood on the ground and
evidences that clothing had been
burned. In the ashes was found
a partly burned business card. It
bore the name of "A. J. Eick."
which corresponded with the ini-
tials "A. J. E." found on the
shirt worn by the murdered man.
With this clue the tracing of the
men was easy.
The prisoner was identified as
one of the men with Eick and with
whom Eick left the city. Officers
are on the trail of other men.
Hopper denies all knowledge of
the crime.
Later Wood King charged
joinly with Frank Hooper with the
killing of a man named Lick at
Oklahoma City on August 4 was
arrested to-day at Durant I. T.
by Constable Bartelltt. King was
traveling in a wagon.
Cotton Seed Oil Combine.
The Continental Cotton Oil Com-
pany which was recently formed
by the consolidation of six of the
largest cotton seed oil companies
iu Texas with a capital of $6000-
000 is disturbed over the prospect
of being prosecuted for violation
of the Texas anti-trust law. Gov.
Sayers received a letter from C. L.
Rathbone of New York City pres-
ident of the company protesting
that the combination is not in the
nature of a trust. The governor
referred the letter to Attorney Gen-
eral T. S. Smith who has written
President Rathbone that if it is
found upon investigation that
the company is not a trust it will
be welcomed to the state but if it
should be shown to be a trust it
will be prosecuted. Attorney
General Smith states that he will
thoroughly investigate the consoli-
dation of these six Texas cotton
seed oil companies and that thev
will be prosecuted if the deal is in
violation of the auti-trust law.

M'MNLEY TO .RETIRE.
Has Expressed Dcslra to Decline Be-
nomination Then Cornea Roosevelt.
Washington Aug. 13. A prom-
inent Western politician now in the
city is authority for the statement
that many of President McKinley's
close friends expect him to decline
to be a candidate for renomination.
This gentleman was a member
of the last House and recently has
come from a short vacation spent
among former colleagues in Ne"
England. At a small dinner given
in Newport a few days ago. at-
tended by two Republican members
of the House who have always been
unswerving supporters of President
McKinley the conversation turned
upon polities and the probable can-
didates for 1900. These gentlemen
stated positively their understand-
ing to be that Mr. McKinley had
expressed his desire to retire from
politics at the end of his term and
their belief that he would not be
urged by Mark Hanna and his
closest advisers to decide differently.
They stated that the president's
intention had been expressed not
loug aso at a conference with cer-
tain New York Republicans just
previous to the appointment tf
Elibu Root to be secretary of war.
While the qualifications of Rott
were 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 administration's
policy in the Philippines. It de-
veloped that the president was fol-
lowing closely to the tcne of the
Eastern press and with great re-
gret recognized the fact that he
did not have behind him his party
in the states of Maine New Hamp-
shire Vermont Rhode Island
Massachusetts Connecticut and
Pennsylvania.
To a suggestion made by one of
the gentlemen at the conference
that Mr. McKinley was the logical
nominee for 1900 the president re-
called the fact that no president
had succeeded himself since 1872
although a number of excellent men
had made the effort to do so. He
stated also it is said that his
health had been impaired and that
the White House had imposed many
burdens from which both he and
Mrs. McKinley would not be sorry
to be released.
He referred also to the thousands
of friends estranged by failure to
receive desired appointments; and
he added with positiveness that if
Republican success in hitherto re-
liable states was to be endangered
by his renomination as now seem-
ed inevitable he wonld decline the
honor gratefully but with firm-
ness. The Republicans at the Newport
dinner predicted at the proper time
President McKinley would make
public announcement of this posi-
sition and that the support of the
administration would go to Gov-
ernor Roosevelt of New York.
