The latter lias told hi friends privately
he would not be a. candidate for re-election,
but lila supporters contemplate
barking him whether he deairea it or
not In view of the attitude of Presi
dent Roosevelt, however, it Is accepted
as a foregone conclusion that Fotaker
stand.t no. chance. The men who are men
tioned as candidates are Representative
Theodore . E. Burton of Cleveland, who
hna beep unable to make any headway
outMlde of his native city, and Harry
Daugherty. with Charles P. Tart, brother
of the republican candidate for the pres
idency, and Mr. Vorys, his Ohio cam
paign advisor, looming in the back
ground. It la not believed, however, that
either of the two last named will allow
their names- to be presented to the lrgla
lature. It 1 realised by republicans that they
must make a showing In the campaign
which will convince the entire country
that Taft will carry, the state by an
overwhelming majority. The moral ef
fect of a good 'run In most important.
Therefore they are preparing plans to go
through every county with a fine-tooth
comb. In the labor districts Mr. Taft s
record upon Injunction Is to be clearly
explained; The business element of the
state unquestionably Is behind him. The
farmers very generally are talking fa
vorably about the former secretary. In
deed, wliat opposition there la has not
the spirit and vim which are necessary
to success. The democrats are proceed
ing so languidly in their fight against
the rppubllcan national ticket as to give
the Impression that they feel themselves
beaten before they have toed the scratch.
It Is likely Mr. Bryan will descend upon
the Buckeye state and will seek to In
fuse vigor Into the backbones of his fol
lowers; but he will bo handicapped here
by the natural pride Ohlnans have In the
candidacy of their favorite son, a prldo

THE HAGUE. Aug. 19.-After an nine
hour session, during which the dispute be
twteu the Netherlands and Venezuela was
ianvaxed exhaustively In all its phases,
the cabinet dispersed shortly after mid
i.lgni last night and Minister of Foreign
Affairs Van Swlnderen, proceeded to the
ivynl chateau at Het Ixo to acquaint
WUcen Wilholmlna with the result of the
council.
The terms of U.e Netherlands answer to
the tetter of President Castro of Venezuela,
were, fully discussed and it Is understood
that Uc.' M-tual text, as well as broad lines
of action, drawn up to meet any possible
eventualities, were agreed upon.
In diplomatic circles here, the view Is
entertained that the present- difficulty be
tween Holland and Venezuela Is not of a
nature Ho be settled by arbitration, and in
explanation tt Is pointed out that the dlf
f. cullies that have arisen between Vene
zuela and Or eat Britain, Germany and
America.
In these cases the governments In ques
tion sought satisfaction for claims, but
Holland, has no claim against Venezuela,
it Is maintained here that the present ques
tion Is rather one of sovereignty and na
tional honor, matters which are not sus
ceptible of solution by arbitration.

BLOODY RECORD FOR RUSSIA
Ttt-h t y-S I Sentences of Death Im
posed Throughout Empire
for nintlnft.
8T. PETERSBURG, Aug. 19. Seven more
sentences of death were reported today,
making the total for one day, yesterday,
throughout the empire, twenty-six and
constituting a sinister record. One sentence
wns signed at Kharkov, two at Saratov,
three at Kiev, five at Warsaw, five at
Plurk and ten at Lodz. The two men sen
tenced at Saratov, were former sailors at
tached to the Black sea fleet and had been
found guilty of taking the lead In an
attempt to pillage an estate. The three
men at Kiev were found guilty of attempt
ing to murder a forester; the five Warsaw
men were convicted of robbery accom
panied by violence, and the ten men at
Lodz were condemned for an armed attack
on a railroad train. The dispatches do not
mention the reasons for the Kharvok and
Plusk sentences. There were two execu
tions yesterday at Warsaw, one at Tiflts
and several at St. Petersburg.
The seventeen members of the first
Douma who on May 21 began serving three
months' Imprisonment Imposed for signing
the Vlborg manifesto were released to

Between Sixty and Seventy Men
laoght In Shaft and Blows
to Pieces.
W1CJAN, England, Aug. 19. It 1s now be
lieved that not a single man of .the seventy
miners, who were entombed by. an ex
plosion, which occurred yesterday In the
Maypole Coal mine here, survived the
disaster.
The four men reported rescued yester
diiy were engaged In an adjoining building.
The ventilating fan, which was put out
of order by the explosion, was repaired
this morning and the mine having been
cleared of gases, the rescue party again
descended. . The sight which met their
eyes was horrifying. Not far from the
bottom of the rhaft eighteen bodies were
found all frightfully mutilated, lags and
arms had been blow off, and heads batt.-red
almost beyond recognition.
The management of the mine declares
that between sixty and seventy men were
underground at the time of the explosion,
and that there is no hope that anyone
would be brought out alive. The women
and children, however, who remained at the
pit head oil night refused to leave until
the bodies of their dead are brought to
the surface,
Notiilng else will convince i
them of the hopelessness of waiting.

ST. PAUL, Minn.. Aug. 19. The most Im

imously this afternoon by the democratic

Yesterday when told that be nilKht be
made the nominee despite his protests Gov
ernor Johnson said that If he was nomi
nated the ticket would be without a head,
for he would not lift a flngpr to further
his candidacy. It was thought thst if this
emphatic declaration had its effect that
J. G. Armson. mayor of Stillwater, Minn.,
would undoubtedly he the nominee.
Mayor Armson stated this morning, how
ever, that under no circumstances would
he be a candidate. He said he regarded
It as Governor Johnson's duty to answer
the call of the party and make the race,
even ot a great personal sacrifice.
Congressman Hammond, who had been a

will be formally opened In New York on
August 27 ant National Chairman Mack
on his arrival In this city will announce
the subcommittee which will control the
campaign In the east and name the chair
man in charge of the eastern headquarters.
Uncertainty as to the makeup of the sub
committee and the selection of a chairman
has developed within the last twenty-four
hours. Former Senator James Smith of
New Jersey was generally regarded as the
man to be chosen for chalrnan of the com
mittee In the east, but .Mr. Smith is under
stood to have written the national com
mittee that, he would be unable to accept
the position.
When the convention came to order the
gubernatorial condition was unchanged,

faint rumor that Governor Johnson would
not decline the nomination if it were
forced upon him.

speech. He said that 'if the wish of Gov

BOARD REDUCES LAND VALUES

placed there by local assessors, who should
have known its true value.' While as a
matter of fact there can be no set ratio
maintained between lands and railroads,
the following table shows the assessment
of these two classes of property for six
years:

It Is Just as fair for the board to attempt
to maintain a ratio between railroads and
dogs or merchandise or watches or any
other class of property as between lands
and railroads. Each, under the law, must
be valued at Its tme value.
The value of railroads was not Increased
materially this year, though both Governor
Sheldon and Secrptary of State Junkln
voted for Increases on the Burlington and
Union Pacific. The other members of the
board could see no condition warranting
a .material Increase of railroad property.
Freight rates had been reduced by a re
publican legislature; passenger rates had
been reduced by a republican legislature
and In other ways the power of th rail
roads to earn more money has been cur
tailed. The railroad property. In the opin
ion of the majority of the board, Is worth
no more than the value placed upon It.
Other personal property, such as live
stock, will be mater Illy reduced from the
valuation placed upon it last year. Mer
chandise Will be reduced. These figures
for comparison are not yet available, but
In a short time every item going to make
up the grand assessment roll will be ready
for comparison.

Abbott May Withdraw.
rrea Abbott may withdraw from the
race for railway commission, though today
ne would not discuss the proposition, it
was reported this afternoon in Lincoln
that Abbott waa to withdraw, because his
friends and friends of Judge Williams
feared that if both were candidates, neither
could be nominated and the place would
full Into the hands of their mutual op
ponents. This afternoon Abbott was called
upr by telephone at Aurora and asked If
he Intended to withdraw or had anything
to say about the rumor. He replied that
at this time he had no statement to make,
but that he Is now busy Investigating the
Railway Employes Protective association.
He may make a statement later, he said.
It is the belief here that If Abbott dis
covers the employes of the railroads re
going to oppose him and Williams, that he
will get out of the race, giving as a reason
that he does not want to cause the defeat
of a "progressive" republican. It Is the
belief Of friends of the two men that they
will divide the "progressive" vote of the
state.
TEMPEST IN HOTEL CIRCLES

Proaelytlnc and Hefnae to Pub
lish Guest List.
"A big tempest Is brewing In hotel cir
cles In Omaha over the subject of prosely
ting, aa the church people call It," remarked
a well known hotel man Tuesday morning.
"You will notice that the hotels are not
giving the complete list of arrivals in the
hotel papers aa usual. The reason la that
some of the hotels take these lists and find
ing a bunch of people not registered at their
hotels send circulars to the patrons of the
other hotels, proclaiming the advantages
of thelt particular hostelries. Soma cases
were shown where the proselyters had gone
even farther In that they had written to
the houses of a certain traveling men urging
that the home office direct their traveling
men to patronize these particular hotels.
Some of these letters have fallen Into the
hands of the other hotel men, their old
patrons preferring to stay by them and
select fielr own hotels without dictation
from the head of the firm. The practice
la wholly contrary to fcood hotel ethics and
has created quite a feeling among the
Omaha hotel men."
