THE O3UAITA DAILY MR 13 : THURSDAY , TVEHTU'AHV 1 , 1)00. ! ) FOAM OF POLITICAL BREW Explanation of the Attitude of H , J , Fen * ' fold on Mayoralty. ROENTGEN RAY ON NINTH WARD SITUATION IntrrcnlliiK UowNlp "r " " ' ImptMiilliiK C'lly rninpnlKii Fori'i-K AnMil - Inur t'i > for Hot Primary Speaking of the use of his name in con nection wllh the mayoralty , H. J. Pcnfold lays : "Probably no Into republican who tnkcs pride In his citizenship of Omaha , who would like to see the clty'o municipal nf- falr honestly nnd capably administered nnd who br.B at the same Hint the Interests of the republican parly nt heart , could fall l keenly appreciate such an honorable dis tinction ns a selection by his party as Its nominee for mayor. It Is especially an honor when such selection Is conferred upon ft man who has made no active effort to compass the result. Under clrcumslancro such aH these 1 do not well see how any citizen could well decline the honor. In the sense that he would not decline such a preferment If It were offered him , every man who deems himself adapted to the ad- tnlnlHtratlon of municipal affairs may be deemed a candidate for office. H has been Bald that the olllcc should .seek the man , rather than the man the ofllre. 1 believe U was wisely said. There Is a wide distinction between the man wl o feels that If prefer ment Is offered him by his party he would feel It nn honor which he could not well decline nnd one who la actively and anxiously Importuning his party friends to tender him such preferment. My name has been mentioned as that of a candidate for the republican nomination for mayor. In the ficnso that I am seeking the nominal Ion 1 do not wish to bo considered n candidate , but without putting myself In the attitude of accepting or declining whnt hns never been offered me , I can say , I think , with propriety that I run n republican , that I nm proud of my citizenship of Omaha nnd am zealous for the city's growth and pronperlty , that I nm filming those who favor a good , clean administration of municipal affairs and that If the republlcano of Omaha should select nio for their nominee I should not decline. Having been so selected , I should exert every honorable effort to secure my election. I have no ambition to be mayor that can arleo from being out of a job. " "What will the republican party do with out Stuht ? It will probably do the same ns It did when ho turned populist once be fore , " said n. well known city politician. "Stuht must think people's memories are ehort In this neck of the woods when ho < alks about fcslng a republican for thirty- four years and being crowded out of the party. He forgets that It was only In 1893 that ho turned a voluntary somersault out of the republican ranks staiply because ho could not get the nomination for the city council nnd became a full-Hedged populist in order to have a populist nomination. In ISO. ! Stuht ran for the city council against I'eto Hack , who was nominated on the re publican ticket , and his popularity waa evidenced by the returns. I happen to hnvo looked them up and they show that Stuht , populist , running at large , received 2,183 votes , as against G.SGl for Pete Uack. Ills antics this year are simply a duplication of his performance seven years ago. When ever he finds ho cannot hold office on bis republicanism ho climbs Into somebody else's wagon In the hope of catching on. As n matter of fact ho. ought to have been hut out long ago when ho had his little dtlTlculty nbout accounting for the funds entrusted to lilui as treasurer of the republican city com mittee. Stuht as a populist will be the same office-Becker ho was ns a republican. " A number of secret meetings have been held by certain Fourth ward republicans during the Inst week or so , chiefly at the Invitation of H. C. Patterson. At one of the recent meetings a document was produced , said to have been drafted by T. W. Dlnckburn , which It was proposed to have signed , pledging the signers to exert themselves In behalf of an Independent delegation nt the republican primaries opposed to the interests of Mayor Moored. The plan Is to secure 200 signers. If possible , vlth the avo-ved object of turning down everyone who Is In any way friendly to the present city administration. One of the members at the secret meeting gave himself awny by warning them ngnlnst doing any thing that would hurt John L. Webster in getting the legislative delegation from this county next fall. At last accounts the In vitations were many , but the acceptances few and the meeting poorly attended. Mr. Patterson's inteiest ecoms to bo particularly to dislocate Tax Commissioner Sackett from his position. OMAHA , Jnn. 31.

NEGRO SHOOTS A WRESTLER l'tirli > r of tin * AVIiitlnor Hotel KlrcH n Ilevdlver Shot Into l.ouU Louis Haptlstc , a wrestler , was shot this morning shortly after 1 o'clock by Kd K. I-c- Stone. night porter at the Windsor hotel. The bullet went through the fleshy portion of the right leg and the wound is not con sidered serious. According to the porter's story the trouble began in Baptistc's room , where several men were drinking heavily and In clined to be troublesome. The porter says ho was called to the room , but on going up was told that there was nothing wanted. Two men followed him downstairs * and went Into the bar for a short time. When they came out they hunted up the porter , who was in a rear room at work , and began quarreling with him. They exchanged a number of words when suddenly Baptiste rushed to LeStone nnd dealt him a heavy blow in the face. The porter recovered ns quickly ns possible and before the man could strike again ho pulled his revolver nnd shot twice. .Only the first shot took effect. Bapllste claims the porter was entirely to blame. Ho says LeStone came to them while they were at the bar and attempted to pick a n. rrcl. Afterward they met him In the rear room and the porter , he says , called them more names than Baptlsto would allow and ho struck him. He says the negro jumped quickly back and flred three shots at his legs. Baptiste say that ho does not think the negro Intended to do more than wound him.

Thurston of Nebraska , who responded to "Our Foreign Policy , " said : In part Mr. Thurston said : The onward march of liberty never stops nnd with , every advance In civil stu'lon nn < l freedom comes now lesponslbllitles nml duties to the nation which stands In the forefront of political progress. The time has come. when , whether we seek It or not , we must have a foreign policy , must assert It and must maintain It. I am not here tonight assuming to formu late for my country this foreign policy , but 1 am hero to Insist that every act HO far done by this administration. In meeting the unexpected and colossal emergencies of the test two- year ? and every future purpose so fnr avowed to maintain the honor and dignity ot the American Hug are right and should receive the unqualified support of every loyal American citizen. It hns re mained for the united1 people ot this great republic to give to the world the nr > w testa ment ot national duty ; the llrst assertion of the right of a great 'free ' ipeople to extend the blessings of liberty and Justice to their less fortunate neighbors. It has been urged by some that we should have taken the Philippines under the same conditions we took Cuba In trust for the people of the islands nnd in aid of the for mation of an Independent government. The careful student of the situation will readily sco that It was impossible for us to take anything less than , complete title and sov ereignty to the ( Philippines. Situation In t'lilui IMIYereni. As to Cuba our situation was different. Our Monroe doctrine , long asserted ami 1m- plledly conceded by Hie world , made it Im possible that any foreign nation should un dertake to occupy the Island of Cuba under any circumstances1. But we had no Monroe doctrine to apply to the ( Philippines. Title and title alone gave us the right to hold those IslaTiO's against all tne world' . I < 3o not bellevo we are yet prepared to detlnltcly decide , as to the. future of the Philippine Islands. There are world-wide problems to be considered. We are In a great measure responsible for the welfare of the Filipinos ami , on the other hand , we cannot lightly deprive our owr people of the great advantages given us ai > a nation by the possession of the. islands. If wo are to seek a great foreign market for our surplus products ; If wo are to realize tiho dream of a great American merchant marine ; If we are to construct n canal across the Isthmus , making : i new highway around the globe ; if we are to see San Fran cisco become another New York ; If we are to accept our destiny as a world-wide power nnd bold our own in the Ktruggle for eom- merclal supremacy , we cannot , wo must not and , in my judgment , wo will not refuse to accept what' the fortunes of wnr have given us tiho key to the Orient , the Gibraltar of Asia. Senntor Lindsay mndo no reference to the turbulent politics of his state. Senator Perkins of California responded to the toast , "California and the Commerce of the Pacific Coast. " General Francis V. Greene spoke on canala llnniiii Called On ) . Congressman John M. Allen did not speak at much length , owing to the late hour. When ho sat down there were loud cries for Senator Hannn. The Ohio senator did not rise until the crowd grew demonstrative. He finally said ho would not at so late nn hour speak at great length , but there was one burning question about which perhaps ho ought to say a few words. Ho said this question grows day by day , year nftcr year nnd will soon bo far greater than our cltlzcn.i realize. The commerce of a nation follows Its flag , hence our flag should bo sent to other lands. The door has been opened In China. We must see to It that no nation close It. Nevertheless with nil our pros perity then- was a missing link , the absence of American ships to carry American p : ' - ucls. Time had been when American sh. . carried ! )3 ) per cent of our trade ; now they carry less than 8 per cent. People understanding the proposed sub sidizing of ships know very well , the ncnator said , that there Is no politics In It ; there Is only a desire to benefit all the country. Our duty Is to go forward. Ho had been men tioned In connection with the bill which had in error been nnmed the Hannn-Payfio bill. It was Senator Frye who was the father nnd the grandfather of the measure. England , Germany , Franco nnd even South American republics Jinvo followed the subsidy policy nnd proved its wisdom. Suppose England were to got Into war with a first-class power like Germany. It might lose Its merchant marine. It largely car- rlcs our products. What Is to become of our-trade In such nn event ? Wo must have vessels for peace and provide for the con- tlnprncle.s of war , the senator Fuld. It costs : ; . " > per cent more to build and 22 per cent more to operate American than foreign shlpr. The difference must bo met or American labor reduced. Surely no Amer ican wanted to reduce labor's wage. Senator * Hanna closed by paying this measure woul I be enacted Into a law. It would bo n fitting climax to the era of prosperity now blessing the land. Within ten years the United States would have the grandest flout of mere'.innt shlp.s In ( tie world , Tlifi senator sat down amid thunder- on ? applause.

KITCHENER TO TRY IT ( Continued from First Page. ) big news is expected to be furnished by the Boers. They have doubled their energy in the siege of Klmberley and may bo ex pected to close In on Ladysmlth. There Is no sign , except the anxiety of the British cab inet , that any hostile demonstration against England In contemplated. Russia and Franco nre euro to take advantage of Eng land's helplessness by grabbing territory In Asia , but the czar Is living up to his repu tation as the foe of war. When the nation had almost resigned It self to the fall of Ladyfimlth there comes from all quartern today an Indication that General Buller will make another attempt to relieve the besieged place. If the Dally Mail's report , of Ooncral miller's state ment , that ho hoped to be In Ladysmltb within a week , could be Implicitly rolled upon , news of further gerloun flehtlng would bH expected shortly. But the papers are loath to believe what the St. James ( Jazctlo characterizes ns "unwarrantableboafitlng , " if true. Moreover , the War olllco throws cold water on the dispatch this afternoon , by Issuing a statement that It hns no news confirmatory of pitch a move ns General Buller's reported speech Indicates. Yet today'is dispatches from Ladysmlth and Capetown give a strong Impression that there Is something more than rumor In all Iheso reports. So , whlln all definite opinion must await further IICWH , It does not seem at nil unlikely that nnothor drape-rale effort ) will bo made to succor fienernl White.
