I HIE CANDIDATE IS OFFICE Precedent Against Most of the Re publican Aspirants. FEW CABINET OFFICERS WINNERS TKo Pre-ldent Ever Stepped Dtrrctly (rum the Senate to the White House as Knot and For-Wer Meek to Do. WASHINGTON. July 27.-In this yaars trellnilnary skirmishing for the republican presidential nomination seven atatesmen have been more or l:ss prominently men tioned, all except one of whom are Identi fied. Fairbanks is vice president; Knox nd Koraker are senators; Taft, Ruot and Cortelyou are members of the cabinet, and (Shaw has recently retired from the presi dent's official family. None of these men will be elected to the presidency unless the almost unbroken precedent Is departed from in lf. It has been a notorious fact, frequently cited In political discussion for many years, that milv in, lie alme Jefferson's time has any man who served as vice president been " ne or meir nomination from his senatorial office Into that of the presidency. In fact, only two or three ex senators have been elected president, al though some of the most distinguished members of the upper house have been disappointed aspirants for the office. Among the presidents who held office subsequent to the time of John Quincy Adams is to be recalled Andrew Jackson, who resigned from the senate to be a candidate for president, but who was defeated. That was in the campaign in which Jackson was opposed to J. Q. Adams, resulting In the election of Adams by the house of repre sentatives. When at last Jackson was elected president he had been out of the senate for four years. Onlv one member of the house of repre sentatives has reached the presidency at the time of his Incumbency In the house. That was James A. Qarnld of Ohio, who was one of the best examples of the "dark horee" candidate which the history of the country affords. His nomination was sprung at the eleventh hour and was entirely un heralded and unexpected at the time the convention conveyed. He had been elected senator, but was elected president soon thereafter and before he took his seat In the senate. sbif Kroni Retirement.

SOME ARMED CONFLICTS NOTED Worst Disturbances In Athenrr and l.onKbrea The De Frerne Estate In Roscommon In ShoeL " ' lug Condition. DI'BLIN, July 8. A second tour in tin south and west strengthens the opinion that the days of the cattle ranchers are numbered and that within a measurable time the vast grass lands will be divided up and shared amongtthe people who are now living In the bogs and on poor and un productive holdings. Grass farm after grass farm are being given up. Obeyins the demands of the people, the grazers are either abandoning the lands at once or have given undertakings to surrender them. The farmers have already won many vic tories and they are confident that they will be successful ull along the line, and that muft not be surprised In the near future If he finds the cattlemen shooting into the crowds and shoullns fr results. The writer paid a visit to the De Freyfie estate In Roscommon. This property of ixird De Freyno Is a mere agricultural Blum and the peasants llve in the direst poverty on patches of bog land which only produce in response to Incessant hard labor. It Is line of the most congested districts and one if the poorest in Ireland, and three years ago the sheriff was busy there evicting peasants who found It impossible to pay ihilr rents. The government has decided '.o take the majority of the peasants away from the estate and place them on grass lands In other parts of Roscommon, but those whose neighbors they are to become declare that they will not allow this and will drive them back to Frenchpark. They say they want the land for themselves and will not allow strangers to some In and take up any part of It. This aspect of the ease gives the estates commissioners somu concern. It would he almost Impossible to drive through a more mpurnful. deserted and de pressing region than those midland coun ties of brown bog and empty prairie.

The partisans of Mr. Roosevelt used to declare with much vehemence that the vice presidency to which ho was elected In I'M Would never prove to be a "shelf" for him.

It is neces sary to go back almost to the foundation of tha republic, when John Adams was elected as the successor of George Wash ington, and when Adams was In turn suc ceeded by Vice President Jefferson. for the chief jnagislracy had been retired from federal office either by their own voli tion or by defeat. William Henry" Har rison had been out of public life in Wash ington for twelve years when he was nom inated for president. James K. Polk had not been in congress for five years. Frank lin Pierce had ten years before retired from the national house of representatives and had been so nearly forgotten that his candidacy was derided throughout the presidential campaign by the opposition party. James Buchanan at the time of his nomination had not been in Washington official life for some years, but was min ister to England. Abraham Lincoln was a member of congress, but had not been In the house for eleven years Immediately prior te his election as president. Rutherford B. Hayes, who was elected In 1878. had not been In congress or any other office In Washington since 1887. He was governor of Ohio.

One change of considerable note has oc curred. When the late government was In power a' solemn undertaking was given that If any estate was forced to tale by stress of agitation the land commissioners would have nothing to do wiiU it. The present government has altered "that and is pre pared to deal Immediately with the cattle ranches that have been thrown vacant since the antl-grazlng war started. It would take the entire police force of all Ireland sta tioned In three counties alone to protect the grazers there, and It would be quite Impossible to stop the war by the use of the ordinary force at the disposal of the crown. Hence drives are of frequent oc currence, and the landlords and grazers look upon their rase as hopeless and be lieve that If they stand out against the will of the people worse evils may befall them. v The worst districts in the region of dis turbance are Athonry and Lotighrea. where the people do not lose time tn talk ing but set to work ill a spirit uf great est determination. 1'nllke the agitators of other parts they are not content to drive the cattle otf the farms but have taken steps against the herds and the owners of the stock. The boycott is rigorously applied und within tiie last few weeks shots have been tired through tile windows of tl e dwellings of men who stand out against the agitation. A few nights ago a body of cattle drivers came Into collision witli the police in the dark, the constabulary lying in ambush atcretsry of state at the time of th nominating convention of IMJ and James Monroe holding the same portfolio under president Madison when lie was nominated n ISIS. ' Madison. Monroe and J. Q. Adams found the cabinet a stepping stone to the highest tionor In the gift of the people, but this political history has never repeated Itself. Ho man now alive can recall a lime, how ever, when four members of the same cabinet were prominently mentioned as I candidates for the presidency In the same year. Secretary I'ortelyou, Secretary Taft nd ex-rretary Shaw will find no prece dent for the elevation of a cabinet minister, other that a secretary of state, to the office of president.

As they lie at the moment the vast bogs are dreary wastes save for the bits of fuel cut from tryem by the peasants. Hut tn the near future they may be the emu.; of bringing riches to the country. A prospecting party of German and Irish engineers are at work on the Bog of Allan. They say that the generation of power from peat has been most successful In Ger many and that Ireland offers greater scope, and a promise of bigger success than has attended the Industry In the fatherland. Accordingly they have made final arrange ments to flat a company which will be largely financed In Germany for the pur pose of utilizing the bogs tn half a dozen counties, and they calculate that In addi tion to the revenue cheap power will bring In the sale of the by-products will yield considerable w altli. Regarding the grazing war the attorney general has departed from his custom up to the present by ordering bills to be pre sented at the assizes against men who were tried by nationalist magistrates and acquitted. This determination has amused the people, who declare that the govern ment will not get a Jury to convict unless they send the cases for trial In outside counties. which is improbable. Kings county and Sligo are the only counties In the western province where a bench lias sent men to jail for cattle raiding, and the prisoners in the latter case were men sent there from the county of Roscommon.

They pretend to see In the chief secretary's words a hint that thry should keep armed parties on their prop rues, and say that tha chief secretary -suit that the Irish regiments are de generating. Two causes account for this emigration and a w 1.1. ssn ead antl-ridi.st-ment crusade that has been waged in Ire land for the last five years. Many time expired soldiers, I find, are not encouraged to come hack to their families or districts when their term of service is u tables, all of which form agencies favoring the distribution of disease bearing mater ials. We feel certain that the arrangements fall lamentably short cif a sanitary stan dard, and accordingly it must clulm Its victims to those diseases which are a corol lary of inspiring air polluted with foul gases, human exhalations and Infected dust." Ia Mllo, the originator of the present "living statue" boom, who has accepted the Invitation to ride the horse through "peeping Toms' " residences at Coventry, but who has agreed to we.ir a more sea sonable costume than I.ady Godlva, Is having more trouble. Phe Is making the most emphatic of protests against the de cision o fthe London county council that "living statuary" Is "undesirable." In an Interview upon the subject, she said: "They cannot stop nie performing, I am sure. I recognized long ago the difficulties that might arise from the misconception and prejudice of people with strong views and short sights. Draped studies tn the hands of an expert can be made as beauti ful as undraped. If they say tho draped poses In my repertoire are 'undesirable' it would prevent Mr. Gilbert's 'Pygmalion and Galatea from being played, because slnoe Mary Anderson acted that play at tha Lyceum and showed that It was possible for a woman to represent a statue It Is now Invariably the case that the woman herself represents the statue Instead of the model." studying: Cancer Uronlh, The report 6f the Imperial cancer re search fund for the year 1906-7 presented to the general committee at their meet ing under the presidency of the prinoe of Wales Is attracting unusual attention in medical circles. The general summary of the superintendent. Dr. Uashford, states that "during the last year the hopes of advancing knowledge of cancer have be come more and more centered In experi mental Investigations. We have learned from experiments more of the nature of the local and constitutional conditions asso ciated with the origin of cancer and wu have been able to form more definite con ceptions of the nature of the change re sponsible for the rapid multiplication of cancer cells." The earlier conclusions that cancer Is universal In vertebrate animals without ref erence to their food, that Us prevalence differs greatly in extent among different races of men, that it la frequently devel oped In parts of the body which are sub jected to continued irritation, that It is often consecutive t-j some direct local In Jury and that no single form of external agency Is constantly associated .with Its development have all been confirmed by subsequent observation and experiment. On these grounds It Is pronounced futile t.) j seek for a hypothetical something common ito all the external agencies assot-irf ted with cancer and to be necessary to direct I attention to the common Intracellular change which In conformity with the bio logical similarity of cancer throughout the vertebrates must Intervene In the trans formation of normal Into cancerous tissue. As there Is no evidence to justify the as sumption that the disease is communicated from one person to another, the search for the clue to cancer in any seces of animal must take into account the peculiarities In the Individuals which are attacked and In those which escape. Hence queetlons of Individual and of family liability have re ceived Increased attention during the year. In this direction an inquiry into the possi ble influence of an inherited tendency holds a prominent place and the report shows that this Inquiry to tie far more difficult I and more mmplieated by frequently un- suspected sources of error than might st flrst slEbt be supposed. The average per son who has met with more than one case of cancer In a family has no doubt at all the snhtect. but the figures of the registrar general's reports show that two men out of twenty-three and one woman r overv eliiht who attain the age of 35 will be likely to die of cancer, and hence that a -cancerous strain In the ancestry is much more common than is generally sup posed. Itnsstnn Hides In England. Karpovltch. trie hero of one of the most sensational murder trials of modern times, Is hiding In one of the smaller provincial towns. After he succeeds In getting "lost" he expects to return to Russia, though he has only Just succeeded In mak ing his escape to England across Siberia. During his stay in this country he does not object to being interviewed provided only that the newspaper men will not make rubllcV his whereabouts, as he fears the secret Russian police. Being a member of the nihilist fighting organization, he had been chosen to as sassinate General Bogallcff, whom he shot down In St. Petersburg. In the course of his long trla.1 in February, the proceedings of which were kept secret, the Nihilist or ganization served the Judges with death sentences which they threatened to carry out In case of the conviction of their com rade. Terrorized in this manner, the Judges did not dare to condemn the man to death, but sentenced him to a lifelong exile. This, however, did not satisfy the terrorists, who, true to their word, have up to the present moment shot two of the three Judges. In March Karpovltch was sent to Siberia and from the date of his departure plans were In operation to secure his freedom, and on April 12 he made a daring escape. Kar povltch wears a souvenir watch chain made of revolver bullets Joined together with silver wires. "It Is," he said, -"made of bullets which I had on me when 1 snoi whuiihi nuu destined either for him or his suite. Unfor tunately, I could not fire them all. "My friends got hold of them and after my escape they presented me with this chain in token of gratitude for my work. The chain, W the way, was made by a friend who has since been shot. "When I was sent to Siberia there wero unknown to the authorities five other mem bers of my party In the convoy of prisoners. At the same time a number of free men followed us from station to station In order to assist me in my flight. Experience In Hlberla. "On the way we mude several attempts which were unsuccessful, owing to the close watch of an overwhelming number of gendarmes and Cossacks who escorted us. In this manner wo arrived close to the town of VerchneudlnBk in Eastern Si beria. At a distance of a two days jour ney from that town we were informed that I should be sent to the desolate dis trict of Borgusin, from which an escape would have been almos impossible. We had no time to lose ami it was arranged that I should simulate Illness In order to travel on a cart Instead of .walking wilh the other prisoners. At an appointed spot in a forest road our comrades who had followed from Russia, were to be In wait ing with a carriage lo take me off. The horse of the prison van was to be lamed so that we could linger tx-htnd the rest of Die convoy. But although I aimulat.-d Ill ness the officer of the escort at the last mom. -ot would not allpw me to travel In the van, so I took a strong emetic, the effects of which assured him of the pre carious condition of my health ami I ob tained permission to drive. In the mean time a fellow convict made with a small pocketknlfe small cuts In the legs of the horse Just above tha hoofs and rubbed camphor Into the wounds, with the result j his opinion the carried on be- - authorities will and tho end tn that the horse soon began to limp and w , were compelled to linger behind the re mainder of the convoy. Wo soon reached the forest and when wo uvrlved at the prearranged spot the driver was prevailed upon to inspect the lame foot of the horso. While doing so he was overpowered. ' . "I Jumped into another carriage and wai driven posthaste to Verchiicudlnsk, wherj I took a train to Vladivostok and proceeded to Tokio." Karpovltch says that in vendetta which Is being twenn the nihilists and t la do more in the long run bring about liberty in llift.sia than any more general uprising could do. He. says that If It keeps on no one will care to serve the czar either In the position of Judge or executioner. REVOLT IMPENDS"!, BENGAL Serious Conditions Hardly Appreci ated by EitHllsl Who Are the Rulers. CALCUTTA, July 27.-(Special.) As a re sult of three recent tours in the most dis affected districts of Bengal, it may be said definitely that the serious nature of the situation is hardly realized by Europeans In the other part of India or even al home. Many Europeans were Interviewed, both official and nonofllclul and the missionaries at the various stations were Interrogated and all agreed that the disaffection was the result of a campaign of sedition directed from Calcutta, the agencies employed being not only the press and the platform, but the nctive organization known as the Na tional Volunteers, which lias local branches In almost every town and village. These volunteers are beiiiK trained in archery and in the use of slicks and swords by well paid professional Instructors. They preach everywhere revolt against the raj and actively push a boycott, terrorizing those using or selling British goods. Men who cannot be threatened and who still retain relations with the English offi cials ate punished by means of the boycott, either social or biisinchs. And undoubtedly the boycott is the deadliest weapon that can be employed against the Hindu. The rural police are ton weak and In some rases too disaffected themselves to take action. Where the British and Mohamedan officials have attempted to Investigate the situation they have found thciim-lv. s unable to ob tain evidence, witnesses being afraid tn Naturally In this condition people are gradually losing for older and authority, (iiukhas from Assam and from other provinces are.. come forward, of affairs the their l-esjs-ct Companies of military police posted In small hutches In tile larger' vil lages and al th- river stations. The worst feature of the situation, how ever. Is the growing number of assaults upon Europeans. A traffic officer Is author ity for the statement that there is a danger of certain sections of the Assam-Bengal! railway beliur closed entirely owing to tin relu.tanie of the guards and the drivers" to lasc irie irauis. on one occasion no fewer than fifteen guaids refused to work a train. Muhoiueilans In charge of tlm river steameis have also been assaulted both on the steamers and from the bank. The last case r. ported was of a particularly daring nature heiHU.sc ull of the members of the mob worn the uniform badge of the National Voluiit .-rs as a distinguishing mark. Another r.atuie of the present situation Is that all over Bengal national schools financed entirely by Bengals and disclaim ing all connection with the government springing up. Moreover In falr-utta government-aided col- are the students of the leges are openly defying the recent govern ment circulais prohibiting students from attending isditical meetings. The students, however, are not In the leaht afraid. Not only do they willingly address the meet ings, hut they even tmplnr the reporter to publish their names in the newspaper.. V
