atty to Bryan.

Chicago, ILL.,. Nov. 9.--Representative
William Sulzer of New York, who is in
Chicago in connection with the meeting
of the executive committee of the ma
tional democratic committee:
Yes, am a candidate for the leader
ship of the next house of representa-
tives, and my friends think my chances
of securing the honor are very good. I
would not be candidate If they did not
believe my selection would strengthen
our party in the East and help us to

Il will have the votes of the solid
delegations from New York and New
Jersey and have received assurances Of
substantial support from several other

wishes Of the leaders of the East should
be consulted. and they aver my selec-

PROOF AGAINST
EARTHQUAKES
An American Firm Has Designed q
Beautiful Palace for the
3d." ... Mikado,

Chicago, Nov. 19.-Chicago engineers
are designing the earthquake proof
steel palace for the crown prince of jap
an, which Is to mark the advent of
American steel construction in the
mikado's land, and the imperial gov
ernment has appropriated $3,000,000 for
it's erection. Foundations are being
laid with view to rearing, the frame
work in February. Around the skele-
ton beams and bars will be built
house Of granite and marble expected
to eclipse in beauty Of design anything
the Orient has ever known. The pal
ace will adjoin the royal home of the
mikado in Toxic, and it will spread to
extreme dimensions, 270 by 400 feet, ris-
ing to a height Of SO feet.
DR.. T. Katyham, chief architect Of
the imperial household department Of
Japan, who came to America to let the
contract for the new palace, has COM
missioned r. G. and r. M. Shankiand
Of Chicago, who designed the construc-
ton of the manufacturers building at
the worlds fair, to prepare the frame
work plans. Still another Chicago en-
gineer. Charles M. Wilkes, was called
upon to map out an elaborate heating
and vantilating plant. In addition to
this, American brains will also contrib
ute an ice manufacturing and electric
system. Steel construction with its
rigid inelastici.y is expected to revo-
lutionize the building industry in the
mikado's land, where earthquakes have
on several occasions played havoc with
structures supposed to be solid. The
new palace will rest on 400 deeply an
chored steel columns imbedded in con-
crete piers, and the constructing en-
gineers say the magnificent pile will
resist all shocks.

more on strategy than on superior

HE HAS AN OPTION



.., County.
Seattle, Nov. 19.-Before leaving here
for the timber belt Frederick Weyer-
hauser told his intimate friends that
he was interested in an eastern syn
dictate which has an option on a bulk
of redwood timber lands, together with
"a mills and $50 miles of railroad in
Humboldt county, Cal.
The property in question is owned
by number of large firms and COM
panies, including Charles Nelson, Nc
Kay & Co. and the Albion Lumber
company. The owners gave an option
upon 1T last summer, which expired on
Nov. 10. This option was renewed and
will now remain in force until next
May. The purpose is to control the
redwood lumber industry and advance
prices. The deal involves property
worth between s15. 100000 and s20 900, 900.
1t is stated that the timber lands that
the syndicate seeks to acquire from the
Northern Pacific company consist
chiefly of a tract about 40 miles square,
located in Lewis, Chehalis and Pacific
counties, where the Weyerhauser par
ty is now. The purchase has caused
loggers to advance the prices on fir
logs to mills from s5 to $3.50 per 1000.

Major Joneson, formerly a surgeon on
the staff of the Filipino commander.
He resides at Bacolorat and is about to
return there to resume his practice.

Filipinos are disgusted with the be-
havior of the insurgents and are very
glad that the Americans have the up

rancing through the enemy's country
by train from Panique, distance of
five miles. the Americans reached Mon
acadia, where the natives have displayed
a friendly disposition. The train is
stalled here by the wreck of two loco
motives and 81 cars, evidently intended,
on the main wreck.
The freight house and depot have
been burned. No attempt will be made
to save the wrecked rolling stock, but
the. track will be cleared and as soon
as the two small breaks have been re-
paired the expedition will continue
northward. Thus far the advance is a
complete success.

TROOPS WELCOMED.
MacArthur's Advance Was Delayed by
Flooded Rivers.


Manila, Nov. 10, II a. m. The follow
ing dispatches have been received here
from correspondents of the associated
press accompanying the American ad-
vance northward:
Corona. Nov. 1S.-General Macarthur
entered Corona, as already cabled this
afternoon. The insurgents mad fled last
Monday after burning the depot. Moth
ing else was destroyed by them. Gerano
is the first town along the Manila &
Dagupan railway where the natives did
not run at the approach of the Amer-
cans. The padres offered quarters in
the church and convent. The town has
one good house. Corona is the seat of
heavy English sugar interests.
The trip here was a hard one and
occupied six hours in covering seven
miles and a half. Most of the time was
spent in fording through flood run
ming out of the Rio Tarlac. We have
no wagons or mules and native bear
ers carry all our supplies The natives
here say that Bayombong was occupied
last Sunday by mounted troops, prob
ably General Young's brigade of Cen
eral Lawton's division. The people here
are of better class than we have
usually found and welcomed the Ameri-
cans, as they evidently realize that
their agricultural interests will re-
vive.
General Macarthur said:
I'VE seem to be entering different at
mosphere. The people here seem to be
less attached to Aguinaldo's cause than
those in many towns we have been in
on the railroad line. The command will
move northward at daybreak tomorrow
toward Bayombong. Gerano will be
garrisoned with two companies of
the 36th.
Immediately on entering Gerano,
Slayen's secouts moved up the track
toward Panique. On the way they en-
countered a party of insurgents, whom
they drove back. then entering the town
and capturing four locomotives and 13
cars, as already cabled. They learned
that 1,50O insurgents had left the town
in the course of the afternoon"

W. p. Schreiner, the premier, has in
structed all civil commissioners to an
