Some of Today's Callers.
Senator Platt, Senator Thurston, Repre-
sentative Parish, Representative Babcock
and Mr.. Bryan, the United States minister
to Brazil, were among the morning callers
at the White House. Some of them did
not get to see the President, as he was
engaged with Admiral Dewey.
Representative Babcock has been through
a number of western and northwestern
states recently, and knows the political sit
uation. To Star reporter he said: West
of the Missouri river the people are unani-
nous in their support of the administra-
ton. and are the most pronounced advo-
Gates of expansion. l have never seen such
enthusiasm as they manifest. Farther
east, in the northwest, there is every bit
as much loyalty and support Of the admin
istration. There are possibly more men
who are doubtful as to what the future
of the islands should be, but even these
men do not believe this Is the time to dis
cuss these questions. They are willing to
leave these to Congress and the admins
tration. There is not the least question that
the entire country will support every step
Of the administration. They will do SO in
the presidential election in no unmistaka-
BILE manner"
Bust for the President.
Minister Bryan brought with him from
Brazil a bronze bust Of the Brazilian Cod
dess Of Liberty. A number of prominent
citizens of Brazil had requested that it
be presented to President Mckinley. Mr..
Bryan did this.
