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.

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

have given undertakings to surrender them.

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

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

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

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

other parts they are not content to drive
the cattle otf the farms but have taken
steps against the herds and the owners

A prospecting party of German and Irish

They say that the generation of power
from peat has been most successful In Ger

and a promise of bigger success than has
attended the Industry In the fatherland.
Accordingly they have made final arrange

Regarding the grazing war the attorney
general has departed from his custom up
to the present by ordering bills to be pre

acquitted. This determination has amused

ment will not get a Jury to convict unless
they send the cases for trial In outside

to come hack to their families or districts

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.

"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

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

in a forest road our comrades who had
followed from Russia, were to be In wait

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

The worst feature of the situation, how

fewer than fifteen guaids refused to work

daring nature heiHU.sc ull of the members

Another r.atuie of the present situation
Is that all over Bengal national schools

the students of the

however, are not In the leaht afraid. Not
only do they willingly address the meet

to publish their names in the newspaper..
