■The Evening Journal today can
date with positiveness that Charles fe.

"It has been known right along that
Mr. Hughes was Chairman Odell’s

Republican situation In this state.
Higgins Not In It.
"The Journal can further state posl
lively that Mr. Hughes will accept the
nomination. He has refrained from
stating hia position In advance of the
convention, but at the proper time he
will announce his views.
"In addition to the fact that Mr.
Hughes Is Chairman Odell's candidate,
President Roosevelt has decided that
the lawyer must run and Governor
Higgins Is to be brushed aside."
Hughes Won’t Talk.
The very fact that Mr. Hufrhes re
(used to make a statement upon his
return from abroad Is taken by politi
cians to mean that he Is a candidate.
'J have nothing to say about politics,
and I may not have for several days,”
was all Mr. Hughes would say.

He declared that he had met no
political leaders abroad nor had he

whlls General Menocal and his fellow
veterans try their hands at negotiat

forces In the field with the aim of get

In addition to the delegation which
was yesterday reported as having met
with General Gusman, leader of the

a delegation also has gone to Plnar del

It Is not believed there will be any
further fighting of any account until
the committees of veterans have Imd a
full opportunity to try to bring about
peace.
In the meantime the government Is
quietly making preparation* to make
an active an'd effective campaign In
case the rebel leaders refuse to lay
down their arms.

Stenaland Is now In the hands
American authorities represented
Minister Gummere. ,
Shortly before noon today Instruc
tions to the sultan of Morocco to sur
render the fugitive bank wrecker were
received at the Amerlran legation.
An appointment for 3 o'clock was made
by an attache of the legation. At that
hour Minister Gummere, preceded and
followed by a guard of honor of Arab
soldiers, rode to Senguln to the office
of the minister of foreign affairs of
Morocco.
Moor Gladly Consented.
Said Hohamed Morres, the Moroccan
minister, »vas waiting for Minister
Gummere. The conference was a short
one. Afterward Minister Gummere stat
ed that the Moorish officials gladly
consented to the surrender of the prls
oner nnd offered the use of the sui
tan's army. If necessary, to deport him.
Stenaland wifcte a letter to his
daughter last night, which was read
by the authorities before It was mailed.
As a matter of fact, the dread of be
ing placed In the linnets of the Moors
put Stenaland In a blue funk. Two
weeks ago the head of an Arab was
cut off and borne away In triumph on
a long pole In front of the Cecil hotel,
the most prominent hotel In the town.
A few days later warring tribes had a
pitched battle In the big market place,
In which seven were killed.
Had Plannsd a Brewery.
These Moorish pleasantries created
not a ripple of excitement locally, but
Stensland thought If he ever got Into
the hands of the Arabs he never w'oultt
see what he Is living for—Chicago.

position for railroad commissioner.
That Is, Hon. Thomas C. Crenshaw
thinks he has.
Wednesday Mr. Crenshaw came down
from his mountain home at Holly
Springs, Cherokee county, and made a
peremptory demand t^pon Secretary of
State Phil Cook to have his name put
upon the election blank as a candidate
for that office.
At first. Secretary Cook declined, ns
the blanks were then In the hands of
the printer, and furthermore, It had
been his Invariable custom In the past
to put only the names of the nominees
of parties thereon.
He explained to the. former railroad
commissioner that the Democratic par
ty had furnished the names of Its nom
inees and that the Socialist party had
done likewise nnd the names of the
candidates'of these two parties were an
the blanks.
Had the Republicans or Populists
made nominations, their names would
have gone on also.
Mr. Crenshaw Insisted that ho had
the right to have hla name inserted In
the blanks, as he was a candidate, nnd
had as much right to have It there as
Mr. Mt-Lepdon or Hoke Smith, or uny
other man.
Referred to Attorney General,
Secretary Cook then asked him to
file a written demand. Thla Mr. Cren
shaw- did. The former then referred
tills demand to Attorney General Hart.
The nttorney general held that It was
question of practicability and the
secretary of state muJt determine that
for himself.
The only law upon the aubject de
clares that the secretary of state shall
put the names of all candidal--- upon
the blanks as far tpt ''practicable.”
In speaking of the matter Thursday,
Secretary Cook said:
"The attorney general put It up to
me; 1 put It up to the printer, -m-l th-
printer put hts name upon the blanks."
Therefore. Mr. Crenshaw Is n full-
fledged candidate for railroad commis
sioner, running as an Independent.
Formerly a Member.
Colonel Thomas C. Crenshaw form
erly held the office of railroad commis
sioner for the term of six years! being
appointed to the board by th* late Gov
ernor W. Y. Atkinson.
At the expiration of hlx term. ex-
Oovernor Allen D. Candler appointed

When Commissioner Jordan re
signed, Governor Terrell appointed

street, Thursday morning was success
ful In her second attempt at suicide
within the week. “Rlame no one bat

reasoned with his wife, trying to con
vince her that he could not support
her and their child In the country, hut
that he was making a good living for
them In his present occupation. It Is
supposed that her disappointment,
combined with her deranged physical
condition, drove her to take the dose
which killed her.
