He is said to be in fair shape to capture the Lamoure county delegation for the nomination as attorney general of the state. This notwithstanding that State Super intendent Devine is in the field (for the dele gation from Lamoure county for renomina tlon. at Sioux F a l l s . From a Staff Correspondent. Sioux Falls, S. D., June 5.The entire ticket forecasted by T h e J o u r n a l on Tuesday was nominated by acclamation here last night by the lepublican state convention. There was not a break and the roll call blanks pre pared for the use of- the convention were never in demand, something unprecedented MI the history of Scuth Dakota politics. R o ll Called b a t Once. The roll of counties was called but once, and that time upon the instigation of the party managers, who desired that the vote on Klttredge for senator should be cinched made so emphatic and strong that there could be no going behind the returns and that a fitting finale might be given the ex traordinary canvass made'by the senator ind his friends. All of the 1,120 votes in the convention were cast without the semblance of a. break for the senator, and the noise which followed would have put to shame the best efforts of the basbeball bleachers when favoiite clubs were playing on a holi day Every dojegate to the convention went on record as heartily favoiing the election of Senator Klttredge N o m i n a t i o n s b y A c c l a m a t i o n . Burke and Martin for congress, Herreid for governor, Snow for lieutenant governor. Berg for secretary of state, Collins for treasurer, Halladay for auditor, Nash for superinten dent, Bach for school and land commissioner. Hall for attorney general, and Smith for rail road commissioner, were renominated in rapid succession by acclamation and the busi ness was so quickly over that the delegates and spectators fairly gasped. Nominating speeches were limited to five mintites and not a moment of the convention's time was wasted. It was a baptism and a love feast all in one Convinced cf the futility of further contest, the candidates against Col lins for treasurer, Nash for superintendent. Bach for land commissioner, and Smith for railway commmlsslor er. the only offices dis puted at any time, not only laid down, but moved to make it unanimous. South Dakota has never seen such a convention, and prob ably will never see another like it South D a k o t a for R o o s e v e l t . South Dakota republicans are for Roose velt for president. Hanna's name was not mentioned The president got a word from every speaker and the convention never failed to let out several lirks when it was spoken. The convention has left no sore spots and tho opposition hasn't a peg to_hang a hope on. The republicans do not care for as large a majority as they had in the l?st legislature, but they are confident they will secure both branches of the legislature, by big majorities, and return Senator Klttredge.

ABBOTT IN TOILS - A l l e g e d K a n s a s City S w i n d l e r Caugrht at D u l u t h . 'Duluth, Minn., June 5.R. S Abbott, charged with Swindling .Kansas City grain dealers out of $1,200, on May 16, was arrested here by Detective Matthew Kenney, of that city, and Chief of Police Troyer, as he stepped from th9 steamer Monarch, which had just arrive l from Canadian ports This was the culm mtion of a three wec-ks' chase after Abbott by Pinkerton men, during which they followed him to Canada and then shadowed him until he again set foot on American soil. Abbott at first stenuously denied his Identity, but when the officers discovered in his baggage underwear marked with his name, and found a rating boook of a Kansas City commercial agency, In which the name had been written but afterward partially erased, he weakened and admitted that he was the man. He denies that he is implicated in the fraud with which-he is charged, and will leave for Kansas City to-morrow with the officers without requisition papers. It Is claimed that Abbott, possibly assisted by ac complices, followed two cars of grain from Rock, Mo., and sold It to Kansas City grain men on the claim that It was his own. The same game was worked a.bout a year ago quite extensively, and the detectives believe that Abbott may be a part of the same gang that "turned the trick" at that time.

AFTER MILES AGAIN A S u s p i c i o n T h a t He H a s B e e n T e l l - ing State Secrets. Washington, June 5.Senator Culber son of Texas has' brought upon General'' Miles the suspicion that he Is responsible for the leaks in the war department from, time to time, and Jthere will be an in vestigation, which may lead to a court martial. Senator Culberson had read in the sens ate the charges made by Private Weir against Lieutenant 'F. T. Arnold of the. Fcurth cavalry and the official report of a partial investigation made by Captain, P. W. West of the Fifth cavalry, reoom- . mending that a thorough Investigation should be made. The Texas senator had been trying to get these reports from tb. war departmenft, but had failed. He, | therefore secured them in an unofficial ' manner and presented them to the senate, where they were published in the record and became public property. There hav 'been various leaks in" the war department which, seemed to indicate that some one in that department was systematically seeking to embarrass the secretary of war and smirch the army^in the Philippines. These secret revelations began soon after General Miles' request to be sent to the Philippines was denied by the president. The democratic sena- tors who were probing for scandals against the army found assistance from some one In the war department. The presider.it proposes to find out who that man is. The reports from the Philippines pass through the hands of three heads of de partments before they reach toe secretary of war. They come to the adjutant gen eral, then go to the lleutenan't general, and from him to the judge advocate gen eral, who reports to the secretary. The papers in the case of Lieutenant Arnold were seen by but four men in the war de partment. These men were Secretary Root, General Miles, Adjutant General Corbin and Judge Advocate General Da vis. Corbin and Davis have denied that they furnished these papers to Senator Cul berson or anybody else. Copper C o u n t ry Graduates.

London, June 5.The negotiations of the British and the Canadian governments and some of the other colonial govern ments with the Cunard line and other lines comprising what is now termed the Liverpool syndicate, which is opposing the Morgan shipping combine, contem plate, according to the Westminster Ga zette, both a fast service of mail and pas senger steamers, in conjunction with the Canadian Pacific railroad and a fleet of fast freight steamers. The mail steam ers which it is proposed to build will be of enormous size, capable of steaming twenty-five knots an hour, and will be fully equipped for use as armed cruisers, carrying eight quick-firing six-inch guns, forward and eft, and broadsides of three 4.7 inch guns. The freight steamers will be 16-knot vessels, carrying G.000 to 7,000 .tons, dead weight. The Westminster Ga zette thinks it probable that Milford Haven will be the port of departure ol the fleet. The scheme contemplates a line of steamers running to Chin.a, Japan and Australia from Vancou\er, B. C. Canada and Australia are expected to join in, paying the subsidies. The draft of the scheme involves the home government guaranteeing a small interest of the cap ital involved. This would have to be rat ified by the house of commons, "where," says the Westminster Gazette, "it will probably meet with opposition." Netr P o o r h o u s e for R i c e County.
