Representative Sulzers arrival here to day gave additional Interest to the on test for th empty honor of leadlna the democratic minority In the house of representatives. Mr. Sulzer comes from at tendance upon the meeting of the nation Ii democratic committee at Chicago. and lie claims that the national leaders of the patty favor hs selection as leader of the minority on the ground that it would be good politic- to bestow the honor upon an eastern man. It Is fur- ther stated by Mr.

Sulzers friends. that lit desires recognition because of the gallant light he jnarte for Bryan and tree iHver In New York. contrary to the ad- vice of Mr. tiker It remains to bo seen what effect this argument will have upon the democratic members when they reach Washington. At present there are almost as many candidates for the minority leadership In town as there are democratic members.

At the postotnce of the house of representatives buts thirteen members are known to he In the city. Five of these are from New York. The supporters of Mr. Sulzer claim that they will hue the solid democratic votes of the Sew York and New Jersey delegations. In addition to a large scattering party in the south and west.

Elkins as Successor to Robart. In administration circles the name of Senator Stephen B. KlklnS of West Virginia is frequently mentioned in connection with the vice presidency on the next republican ticket. Personally and politically Senator Elkins would be a most ac ceptable running mate for President McKinley in the next campaign. as they are In thorough accord upon all great national questions and the bond of friendship be- tween the two is almost as smog and sincere' as that which existed between thte president and the late Vice Presldent Hobart.

Senator Elkins. while at the white house yesterday was asked If he would permit his friends to present his name to the national convention next year for second pace on the ticket with McKinley. The senator did not appear the least offended by the suggestion. On the contrary he Indicated that If the honor came to him he. would not put It aside.

He remarked that the proposition had been mentioned to him on several occasions. but had riot considered it seriously be- reuse In the first place. tie Is very well satisfied with his present position. He added that if West Virginia. remains in the republican column.

as he confidently expected her to do. he would prefer another term of six years In the senate to the vice presidency In the second place. President McKinley will undoubtedly be the nominee of the republican party for the presidency. and wilt select the man to take the second pace on the ticket. Prom a social standpoint Senator Elkins would nil the vacancy In.

the president's official family occasioned by the death of Mr. Hobart. lie owns one of the finest houses In Washington and entertains In royal style and his wife is one of the most gracious and popular host- coves at the national capital. The residence on street Is considered a model of modern architecture and Its interior artistic triumphs have been achieved un del' Mrs. Elklnss personal supervision.

POLITICS DOWN IN FLORIDA Several Candidates for the Governorship Doubtful as to Lead. Tallahassee. Fla. November 24. Spe cial.

For sever months there have been the announced candidates for the next governorship of Florida. and two of the aspirants have stated their views to the people upon current questions. StlH there is th. greatest doubt as to whl of the gentlemen in the race Is leading- doubt. indeed as to the relative strength of the men.

The candidates are Stats Attorney James D. Beggs. of Orlando State Senator Fred T. Myers of Tallahassee former Speaker Dannitte It. Mays of Montlcello Judge William Sher- men Jennings.

of Brooksvtlle. and former Surveyor General William H. Milton. Jr. of Marlanna.

Other names are occasion ally mentioned but there Is no good yea- son for believing that there are. any other candidates or that the nominating convention will go outside the above list to select a standard bearer. There are some reasons for believing that the strength of the several candidates is In the order that their names have been placed above' the press expressions read that way. and a good many politicians talk that way. But until the old party warhorse the half dozen or more men who have controlled Florida's democracy for many years- speak all speculation as to who willsucceed Hon.

William D. Bloxham as governor of this state is merely so much guess work. All of the candidates are good men' there Is not a dangerous or a weak one In the lot there Is not one amongst them the soundness of whose democracy has been Intelligently questioned. Hence there Is no great overwhelming popular demand tot' etther of them as against the others. Indications are bountiful that before the selection is made the future welfare of the party in this state Is going to be most carefully considered.

and whichever of the aspirants seems most likely to ad- vance and strengthen those interests is going to secure the plum. Outside of the candidates and some of the newspaper editors not a single one of the big guns of the party ha yet In formed the public which of the candidates he favors for the chief magistracy. Nor In most cases do the candidates themselves know with any degree of certainty how they stand as to the support of the big men who are tremendous pow- era in state politics. Nobody familiar with Florida politics can doubt that each of the following names stands for very much positive political strength. which is going to count heavily in the ensuing campaign Governor William D.

Bloxham. United States Senator James P. Taliaferro. Congressman Stephen M. Spark- man former Governors H.

I Mitchell and F. P. Fleming. Colonel John A. Henderson of Tallahassee the vice president and general counsel of the Flprtda Ceo.

tral and Peninsular railroad Hon. John E. Hartrldge. of le Hon. Peter O.

Knight. of Tampa and there are several others who are certainly going to be Influential factors in selecting Florida's next governor. It can be stated with confidence that neither of the candidates has been assured of the support of these men and further. that no one of them need hope for success without a. goodly portion of the strength thereby guaranteed To be brief.

the live candidates have placed themselves before the people and nobody yet knows where the Warwicks stand- wherefore. it is unprofitable to speculate as to whether the surname of the next governor of Florida will begin with or or Which tM OERELS HEARING IS NOW ON. Both QQebel and Taylor Are JWpre- sented by Eminent Counsel. Frankfort Ky. November 24.

Goebel attorneys arrived here today with an appeal from the decision of Judge Jones. In which he held that 1193 votes in Nel- son county erroneously certified for W. P. Taylor should be counted for S. Taylor.

The case was argued before the whole court this Both sides we represented by eminent counsel. General Taylor returned. to the state capitol and had a long conference with Governor Bradley. BILL ANTHONY'S SUICIDE HIS WORDS TO CAPTAIN BIGBEE MADE KIM PAKOtTS He Took Quantity of Cocaine end Left a Note to Aunt Say- Ing He Was' Discouraged. New York.

November 24. William Anthony better known as Brav Bill" Anthony died at the Presbyterian hospital today half nit hour afterhe had swallowed a quantity of cocaine at one of the Central park entrances. He was the man who on February 15. lips. when the battelshjp Maine was blown up in Havana harbor.

reported to Captain Slgsbee In the famous words Sir I have the honor to report that the ship has been blown up and is sinking. On his return to this country Anthony was accorded receptions everywhere. He. received many Invitations from cities to be their guest. For months he traveled over th country.

being accorded the hon- ox of a. hero. his leave of ab defied was ended. Anthony was promoted to be sergeant of marines and was de tailed at the Brooklyn navy yard. In one of Anthonyj coat pockets was found a letter written by him to his aunt which read that he was discouraged and disconsolate and was going to end It all.

Among the articles found was a picture of his one-month-old child on the back of which was written Bury this with me. A Spanish-American war medal such as all th survivors of th battleship Maine received was also found. TEXANS HIGHLY INDIGNANT WACO CITIZENS HOLD MEETING. IN BEHALF OF DUNNING. Well-Known New Yorker Sentenced to Two Years in Penitentiary for Note Embezzlement.

wCO Tex. November 24. An indignation meeting. was held last night by prominent citizens of Texas in behalf of Charles Dunning. the.

nephew of the late Henry W. Sage. of New York. who was convicted of embezzling a note for 350 and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years. in the district court here yesterday.

Mr. Dunning Is a wen known Texas ranchman having at one time been quite wealthy. He came. to Texas twenty-five years ago from New York state and established a model ranch home near Eddy but of recent years has met with misfortunes which have swept away most of his property. Mr.

Dunning oned a note of 350 which had been placed In the hands of an at torney for collection. In raising the money to take up the note. Dunning principal secured the signatures of. two men. who with him obtained the money from a fourth party the money being turned over to Dunning.

who secured the two thdorsers of the note by giving them a mortgage of personal property. Dunn- Ing then went to the attorney who held the note. tendering him the principal with 20 per cent interest. which was re fused. the lawyer demanding oer cent additional for attorney fees.

which Dunning refused to pay. Mr. Dunning then placed the 350 to his own credit in a Waco bank. Recently Dunning became involved in a quarrel with one of the indorsers of the note. who prosecuted him for note embezzlement claiming the.

money raised by the three parties belonged to them jointly. At the indignation meeting at Eddy last night funds were raised with which Jo procure additional legal talent and a party of Eddy citizens arrived here today and placed the case in the hands of a well known law firm. who will secure. a new trial for Dunning. Dunning.

while an unfortunate man In business affairs has always' borne a high reputation. TALKED TO WIFE BEHIND BABS Walter Channel Has but a Few More Days To Live. Savannah. Ca. November 24.

Special. Walter T. Channell. the young man from Montgomery county who has been sentenced to hang next Friday. for the murder of Postmaster Thompson of Glenwood refuses to be Interviewed about the terrible rate that awaits him In legal ex- paUaUon for the unwarranted killing of his fellowman.

His wife and child "called at the Jail today to see him and he greeted them affectionately trough the bars of his cell. Channell. whose crime Is well remembered. Is a young man of respectable appearance and of average education. A physiognomist could trace' none of the grosser elements of the criminal in him and even now.

in the shadow of death his face bears traces-of refinement. He will be taken from the Chatham county jail' some time next week to Mount Vernon. the Montgomery county seat and hanged on Friday next. There appears no hope' of a reprieve or a. pardon as the supreme court has passed on his case and refused a trial.

The evidence adduced In the trial will probably not warrant the interference of the board of pardons. JOHN wsONi QUITS THE RACE The Terrible Swede" Rides Several Hours with Broken Collarbone. Kansas City Mo. November 24. John Lawson the Terrible Swede.

did not ride in the hour bicycle rare at Convention hall today. It developed that his collarbone had beer broken in his fall yesterday. He was at the track and offered to go ahead and do his best. but as he could use only the left hand In steering his wheel. the management de clded upon his withdrawal.

Lawson's Injury was sustained at 2:21 o'clock yesterday. For seven hours and twenty minutes he rode his face showing little of the anguish he During the closing hour he- asked to have a doctor called to examine his shoulder but his handlers secured some medicine and. applied It after halt the exhausted rider from the track. Lawson finished the regular race at 9:30 o'clock third from the front and a few minutes later. although suffering severe pain.

Bench warrants were issued for the arrest of these two men. but up to quite a. late hour tonight neither had been found. the police saying that they had disappeared in Tonight the police raided the premises occupied the Franklin syndicate on Floyd street.

There a great crowd of people around the building and the police surrounded Inspector Brennan arrested Louts iUIJ rbrother of the head of the syndicate ind cashier of the concern- and took possession of 15000 in cash. There were forty employees' engaged at work in the' offices and these were allowed to go. Began In a Small Way. William F. Miller began the Franklin.

syndicate in a very small way locating his office among the poorer classes of Brooklyn and making one feature of his business the acceptance of very small sums of money and the alleged Investment of them for the poor people. He med that by Inside tips on tho stock market he was able to reap large and quick profits of which he. was willing to pay a. large percentage to his clients. He paid the interest on the principal eadh week and his business Increased.

Within the pest few months he advertised extensively and In all parts of Brooklyn could be found men who could tell wonderful stories of the weekly dividends. Then some of the financial concerns in New York began to look Into the business of the Franklin syndicate and not only did many of the prominent financiers de flounce as preposterous the offer of 10 per cent interest on money Invested but some of the banks refused to accept Millers account or to do business with him. Represented a Syndicate. It is claimed that Miller was simply the representative of a syndicate of men who hid been engaged in conducting blind pools for years. The very fact that the newspapers and financial circles began to make investigUeca aroused the public interest to such an extent and at thesame time in some quarters the public cupidity that.

It said within the last v- k. Miller has received deposits of hundreds of people aggregating a. dally amount of from 30000 to 000 It la easy to see under these circumstances how the Franklin syndicate could readily pay 10 per cent of this amount a week and still make money. Not only were the people living with' in the limits of Greater New York large depositors with the Franklin syndicate but cities all over the country contributed the earnings of scores of their residents to swell the wealth of the syndicate. The mall delivery dally at Millers office amounted to bout three wagon loads and most of the letters contained money Office Piled with Greenbacks.

Miller had a faculty of displaying a large amount of his wealth and the offices on Floyd street were plied high with greeenbacks of all denominations and heaps of gold. This seemed to lend confidence to those who came with their subscriptions and it is impossible to even estimate where the endless chain" would have ended. The principal of th endless chain as developed. by Mlrer depended upon the. fact that his old customers brought him' additional members- and were allowed a commission of ii per cent upon all moneys thus invested.

Those who were drawing this Income of 5' per cent became walking advertisements for the. Frl11trtn syndicate. Four weeks before the bwlUnc thl bubble which. In rate of dividends and' income guaranteed tar surpassed the wildest dreams of the South sea bubble the United States postal department had its trained Investigators at work trying to catch MOler and Oils associates. but in vain.

Miller Hard To Dr. Meredith. of a. former pastor of Millers complained to the Brooklyn police that the man was ruining half the young men of his congrega tlon. The police official to whom Dr.

Meredith. complained is said to tave told the reporters investigating Miller and his operations It you can catch Miller you will be the smoothest man In this town. I never saw anything like it. I have Investigated the complaint made by Millers former pastor for' Miller- had been expelled from the church to which he belonged. and I' find that his statement that half of the young men and half of the young women in the congregation are in the Franklin syndicate Is true.

But not one can I find who is willing to make a complaint against the man or his method. Would you make a. complaint yourself It you were getting the 10 per cent a. week for Miller certainly pays it out every week according to the promise contained In his contract. Besides continued the police official I don't know that I would be able to bring about the arrest of the man provided I did get a complaint.

Most of my patrolmen. my inspectors and detectives seem to be In It and I am thinking' se riously of going in it next week myself he concluded with a laugh. The 10 per cent a week or 520 a year. as guaranteed by Miller. did notbegin in reality to represent the obligations In curred by the head of the Franklin syndicate.

The rate of 629 per cent a year is on a basis of simple clerical work. But tenths of his patrons affected by the money making fever were in the habit' of turning around and re-Investing the 10 per cent interest or. In other words pyramiding their gains. This swelled their' operations from simple interest to' real compound Interest. Received Fabulous Interest.

One of Millers patrons who invested 100 immediately turned- around and re- Invested the 10 per cent allowed him at the end of the first week. making a. bal ance of 110. to his credit. The next week he received Interest on both principal and Interest.

thus giving him a balance to his credit of Silt At the end of twenty-one weeks or a little less than six months. he found himself with a credit In the Franklin syndicate of 1029. All of this from the original Investment of 100. Inasmuch as Miller absolutely refused to carry accounts of more- than 1000. this customer was compelled re-Invest in the names of other members of his family.

At the time of Millers arrest. he' said that he had over 3000 in ths syndicate all from the original Invest. ment of 110. This policy of. re-Investing In the name of other members of the family was carried on to a.

large' extent among the poorer classesln Brooklyn. On Tuesday of this week just before charges of libel were preferred against Miller he Is said to have taken In 86 000 and paid out 31000. The confidential representative of one of the banks who visited Millers office bout this time said' he never saw so much money scat tered around loose In his life. Wealth of Monte Cristo. He said It reminded one of the tales' of Monte Cristo and Monte Carlo combined but that as an absolute fact tiller' did not have facilities for taking care of all of the gold and greenbacks which poured in upon hint.

and empty barrels were brought up from the basement of the building in which he operated and thou- sands and tens of thousands of dollars were dumped Into these barrels by the employees and clerks employed by Mil ler In his establishment. One of Millers trusted employees is responsible for the statement that the. Franklin syndicate men had taken in over 4000000. It Is known that when the bank shut down on him yesterday arid refused to accept his deposits toy longer that he with. Ueneral Nelson A.

It la asserted tonight that Miller deposited 100000 with the- German consul.

Description of Miller. Miller who Is a very. young man short slight and- Insignificant In appearance possesses two positive characteristics-personal magnetism and his frozen calm- ness To show the. confidence the people about Brooklyn had In Mr. Miller and' his syndicate.

tonight even after Miller' had been denounced In the most' un measured terms a crowd of probably 2000 people were gathered about- the building about o'clock. The door of the office had' been closed at II o'clock. but business was resumed few minutes be fore 8. The would-be depositors were formed In a. line by the police reaching down the rich stoop and fully 100 and 150 Into the street.

Business was carried on for thirty minutes. During that' time fifty' persons- deposited money and not' one drew out. This showed the' confidence of Mr. Millers publft In his racket although at that very' moment the stick was In the act of falling. Up to late hour tonight Miller had not been found.

TWO THIEVES ABE CAPTURED. They Tried To Sell Mules In Covington. Yesterday. Covlnrlon. November U.

Special. This morning very early two strange ne- groes rode up to the livery stable of I. W. Brown arid offered for sale two good mules for 50. Mr.

Brown became suspicious at once but agreed to take the mules at that zlce and td the negroes that they would have to wait until the bank opened before he could pay them" He. laid the matter before the. sheriff-and he at once went to find the negroes. which he did in a store. having traded out about 20 of the 50.

At first they denied having stolen the mules but finally admitted that' they were stolen last night from two gentlemen named Letson' and Shields In Henry and Butts county. TWO RANGED AT DARLINGJON Assailants of Miss Lafferty Die on the. Scaffold. C. November 24.

Special. At Darlington today Tom Mitchell and Ed Luckle. two. tegroes. were hanged for an assault on a young white woman named Josephine.

Luckle made. a statement In which he reiterated a former confession butde elated that Mitchell was innocent.

Luckle had previously expressed hlmzelfas satls fled with the. whole affair. He had no re grets. Mitchell's dylnp statement was tto de-dare his innocence. He had been with Luckie when he attacked the girl but got frightened and.

went away. He thanked the people of Darlington for their for- bearance in not lynching him and. the others when they were first arrested. Neither of the men showed any tear of death when the final moment came. GENERAL NELSON A.

The pursuit of the defeated enemy by the Fifth Lancers was evidently not very effective.

and curiously while the correspondents report the capture of hoer guns Lord Methuens own report omits any mention of such an Lhlne- znent. i One statement says The remnant of the Boer army sought. to escape toward the Orange Free State territory sail the evidence tends to show that the enemy's retirement was-orderly. he will doubtless soonbe heard of elsewhere The correspphdent0f The Times at Bel. mont says After the battle the aager wasburned and the.
