Washington, April 2 7. ? Re-" publicans lire not accepting the ^ proposed nomination of Senator Fairbanks for the Vice Presidency as a foregone conclusion. Recently there has been renewed incut ion of Speaker Cannon, who o is somewhat alarmed lest his pic) turescpie tiguro as the permanent f chairman of the Chicago convene 1 tion might start ti stampede for f his nomination. Mr. Cannon won hi not for a moment think of n encouraging such a selection. Ho L? litis the s.-c mil oltico in influence . and importance under our form 1 of government. At his time of 1 life it i - not likely' that ho can . aspire to anything higher, as Mr. Uoosevclt's nominalion for tho e I'm sidcuey for the next four years . is a<sure?i i hero is no reason personally for Mr. Cannon to sacrifice his high place for one of-> Ji fering ? nly empty honors. However, when a national coti> io vent ion woes a candidate, he it n for Pretid' nt or Vico President, [.. it is very dillieult for that man to jt j side-step the attentions. If the 3 I convention on reaching Chicago should lind that the Illinois Kepublicuus arc so badly torn with (> dissensions to seriously endanger the State in November?which may prove to be the fact after the .. Stale convention has been held ? the clamor would ha great for a | iicpuhilc.ui Ctllii! ids*, to who could y hoip powerfully in keeping Iilijt nois in line. No other man would , be so available under such cireumr? stances 1.3 Mr. Cannon. ie The mention of Secretary Shaw s_ for the nomination continues, lie ie most emphatically denies any nsu. pirations for the Vice Presidency, but, as in the case of Speaker Cannon Secretary Shaw's disin* clinatioii docs not materially att'eel the situation.

The j others, who refused to surrender, < ! were sent to the bottom with the ship. The oilicial report of Hear Ad- , iniral Yeszen to the emperor is as J 1 follows: "During the night of April 26 , two Kussian torpedo boats met at j sea the Japanese military trans- J port Kinshiu-Maru of 4,000 tons, 1 J laden with rice and military stores ' and about 1,500 tons of coal. 1 The transport was armed with four IlotchUiss guns of 47 miili? ! metres.

I , _ Dead Hod)' in River Tied by Rope to Trco. i f Special to The State. Orangeburg, April 25.? A 1 ^ gentleman from the Ellorce sec J ^ tion of tho county was in tho j I city this morning and told of the ' ^ finding of a dead body in tho San- ] too river, a few days ago, by a 1 party of fishermen from the Kilo- ' roe section. Thoio were tive or ci vr rronl looion i .ha ^vnuviiitii iii nivj |mi"ty. Will" J ing tho afternoon they noticed t whut appeared to ho a sack floatt ing on the water. Upon investigation it was discovered to ho a human body floating down stream in tho river. Tho strange cir1 n cumstances of tho matter are that I the body had a rope tied around ] tho waist and the other end of i i . I tho rope \va.- lied to a tree a short , ( distance away on the hank of the ' P river. From the appearance of ( tho body, it must have been dead for two weeks or more. It lookr j o 1 to be a negro." A few .Japanese havo got ton across the Yahi, after somo stiff 1 fighting. It is said to be the purpose of the Russians to bumper i the passage of tho rivor but not i to undertake a complete proven , tion of it by the enemy, preferring to engage the great battles upon their own ground in Mmctiuriii. For the next few weeks 1 there will he a good deal of skirmishing along tho river and after, i that the conllict will hj joined in earnest. ??* *, np A HP j ^ iO ii Anticipating tli tve wisely bought o lie spot cash; whic lublic the Best and his market.
