In a London weekly named the SUNDAY
Special" Sir Charles Wentworth Dixie yes
terday published some interesting remarks
on current and possible relations between
the Governments and people of the United
States and England. Among other things,
he said that the latter had no reason for
asking or expecting quid pro quo for
concessions in Central America. as no
consideration is needed for quitting an in
defensible position which was taken TWEEN
ty years ago when Great Britain was max
ing arrangements with France for thwart-
ing the natural action of the United States
in a matter wherein France and Great
Britain had no common interest and there
was no reason to interfere"
Sir Charles thinks that the frank ac-
ceptance" by his country of American
friendship should make it possible for the
two kindred States to do much in COM
mon in the Far East. where the open
door in China furnishes them with an
identical policy and object. He sees only
the Irish flag in the way of a thoroughly
good understanding all around. and be-
lieves that perhaps even that little matter
could be arranged amicably if the lending
spirits ON both sides of the Atlantic would
put their heads together in spirit oil
confidence and fraternity.
Like all, or nearly all. contemporaneous

Clayton Bulwer Treaty. bad and perfd-
ious as demons1rably it was. if Lord Sails
bury would admit its fraudulent and mop
erative character and say: Go ahead and
build your own canal and protect it. We
could even pardon the amazing ahront OF
the British attempt to steal port and
hinterland from us in Alaska, without the
remotest color of right so to act, if the eff
fort were at once abandoned. But as long
as Great Britain diplomatizes and con-
spires against us on the isthmus, and in
sists upon despoiling us in Alaska, there
will be an Anglophobe sentiment in Amer

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
The Speaker ResponsibIe.-Apropc

The speaker RcspOnstbie.-Aprop
of Speaker Hendersou's furious wrath
toward Senators and all other persons OPP
posed to the Oxnard bill. as expressed III
various private letters recently published.
it can be asserted on the highest authority
that his influence. more than that of any
other man, was responsible for forcing the
obnoxious measure upon the party. AT the
last House caucus on the bill the Speaker
came TO the rescue of the supporters OF
the measure and made a speech that bull
dozed the weaklings into line. But for
this display of masterful capacity which
the fowan's friends had not previously
credited him with possessing it is believed
that the bill would have been defeated. A
Republican Representative who all along
was friendly to the bill. says that Speaker
Henderson made a speech that can be aptiy
described in no other way than as sensa-
tional. General Henderson, according to
this authority. spoke for nearly halt
hour. His manner was not persuasive; it
was abusive alike of Republicans and Dem
ocrats who were opposed to the bill He
threatened with defeat those of his own
party who voted against the bill. In effect
MS language on this point was; ANY he
publican who goes back on his party in
this crisis ought to be boycOtted. So far
as | am concerned all such will be boy
cotted. The Democrats shall not bulldoza
my party as long as | am Speaker. II
any bulldozing is to be done we shall dc
it. We will ram this bill down their
threats like We rammed the Union down

Frightened BY woodrun.-Tbe rum

Fr1Shtehcd bS " oouruU.-The rum
pus that he has kicked up in Republican
national politics must be extremely graft
flying to the Hon. Timothy Woodruff Hav-
ing been contemptuous!y informed by Mr.
Hanna that he was too young for Vice
President" Mr.. Woodruff has the salts
faction OF realizing that at any rate he is
not too young TO make the boss feel uneasy
about the matter. 1t is not denied that
all of the sudden activity over the Vice
Presidency during the past week is due
to the fact that Woodruff has stirred up
enthusiasm for himself In various quarters
and is now the most talked about man in
the country for the position. He has
drawn Mr.. HannaS fire, anyhow and
though he will not be nominated he will
come out of the game a big winner II
may be that if Roosevelt is forced on the
ticket nfIly- willy Woodruff viii fall heir
to the gubernatorial prize of his party in
New York And as it has been believed from
the first that this was what he was after
it is evident that the outre- waistcoated
statesman is not too young to teach a few
of the old foxes a few little tricks worth
knowing. Senator Plat has at last been
forced to show his hand plainly in the
declaration al New York yesterday that if
Roosevelt will not accept the Vice Presi-
Dental nomination he favors Woodruff for
the tail OF the ticket. If the latter is big
enough in Platts estimation for the Vice
Presidency the easy boss" could not very
well oppose him for the Gubernatorial
nomination when the way is made clear
for him by the Rough Riders enforced re-
movaI to another field. In well informed
circles there is scarcely any doubt that
Roosevelt will go on the ticket if the man
ayers conclude that his name and prestige
are required. OF course he will continue
to kick and charge around but that. will
be of no avail to him when the Hannaites
get ready to shanghai him. If he is
abducted as now seems likely. he will
cease his loud outcry and make the best
of bad job. There Is no Likelihood that
he will willingly drop out of the game.
and il begins 10 look as If cannot be nomi-
mated for Governor unless he makes terms
with the Plat machine on some important
matter of legislation, not the least of which
is the Ramapo scheme. As it is consid-
cred hardly probable that he could enter
an agreement to let that piece or robbery
get through the Legislature at Albany af-
ter he had been opposing it these many
months it seems certain that he will have
TO submit with the best grace possible tc
the manipulation of the bosses at Washing
ton and be hooked on TO the tail of the
Mckinley kite Then, of course, If McKin-
lev goes down in November L. osevelt will
90 down. too. but with better chance OF
rising again than he would il he should
be compelled to sell himself to the Plat
machine as the price of reelection TO the
Goyernorship of New York.

Assessed by Hanna.-A huge scandal
probably will grow out of the exciting mu-
nicipal campaign in Cincinnati which
closes today. The charge is being quietly
made that all of the Federal employees in
Cincinnati have been forced by Boss.
George Cox to contribute literally to the
Fleischman campaign fund. In the rear
rangement OF factional affiliations that
preceded Mark Hanna's election to the
Senate the malodorous Cox suddenly
Hoped from the Foraker camp to the
head of the Hanna column in Hamilton
County. which means Cincinnati. For his
flop Cox has been rewarded with the con-
troll OF the patronage in that part of Ohio.
1t is charged that Cox, with the full
knowledge of Mr.. Hanna. levied an assess
ment of 2 per cent on all OF the postoffice
clerks, deputy marshals, and employees OF
the internal revenue collector of the Gin
cinnati district. Boss Cox, it is said. ap
pealed directly to Mr.. Hanna for funds
and was informed that the Republican Ma
tional Committee had not yet filed its ex
chequer. At the same time Mr.. Hanna is
stated to have intimated to Cox that IN
such a campaign as was being waged for
party regularity and harmony there should
be no difficulty in securing from all loyal
WHO were pTOulihs ny bhc
favor of the party whatever money was
needed to uphold the principles at stake.
In the various departments there are sew
eral hundred Federal employees in and
around Cincinnati. and an assessment of
per cent on their salaries means a goodly
fund. The attention of the Civil Service
Commission will be called to the matter
soon. and il is said that the case Will be
pushed with vigor that will unearth
big scandal. The Democratic managers
are especially interested at this juncture
in exposing such alleged violations of the
civil service law. While the commission
is controlled by the Republicans. neyerthe
less it is believed that sufficient evidence
can be presented TO cause the commits
sioners to give respectful consideration to
the complaint. 1t is considered highly i'm
probable that the conviction of anybody
can be secured but il is thought the effect
will be salutary and will to some extent
deter the managers of Mr.. McKinley's
forthcoming campaign from holding up
such of the Federal employees as are OPP
posed TO parting with their money for
campaign purposes. All knowledge of
Cox's assessment is denied by Ohio Re-
publicans in Washington. When the allie
cation was mentioned to General Gros
venor a day for two ago that picturesque
statesman denounced il as a blank lie.

CAUGHT IN A SNOW DRIFT.
Kenosha Party En- Route TO the Gunck
Dinner Meet With Disaster.

Kenosha Party En- Route TO the Gulick
Dinner mses With Disaster
There was one big laugh on the
streets this morning and the reason of
it all was the very pleasant experience
of c. A. Dewey and p. c. Torrey en-
route to the dinner at a. Gu1ick's
| Thursday. The two gentlemen had
gathered together FIVE of Kenosha's
best known ladies and started in a big
sleigh to attend the dinner. All went
merry as the proverbia1 marriage bell
until they had gone something like
mile beyond Maxwel1's corners, when
an accident occurred which sort of
married the pleasure of excursion.
CORTLAND Admiral was telling of the
heavy SHOWS which happened during
| the time when Lincoln was President
when all at once the sleigh struck an
obstruction in the road and the whole
party was dumped in a snow drift
without any further ceremony. Always
gallant and game to the core Dewey
went first and what fall there was.
He cleared away the snow for several

soft place for the ladies to fall on.
| When the debris had been cleared
away and the gentlemen and ladies
we're up again it was discovered that
no damage had been dene more than
the breaking of whiffle-tree. How
ever, this threatened to spoil the pleas
TIRE of the day. The men ha11oed for
help, but alas, no help came. A party
of Kenosha people was seen approach
ing and the men thought that deliver
ance had come, but like the Levite the
Kenosha party passed on by the other
side and paid no attention to the suffer-
ers. For fully an hour buried in the
robes in the sleigh the ladies waited
while Torrey and Dewey figured a way
out of the difficulty.
Both men had good staying qualities
and the ladies were equally persis-
tent in their plan to attend the dinner.
But time was passing, and the dinner
was getting colder all the time. Dewey
thought of the honorable record he
had sustained for years in regard to
attending the Plank road dinner, and
he wouldn't give up even to the fight
which the elements had waged against
him.
Finally plan was made and Dewey
and Torrey left the ladies to the kind
protection of the robes. and each
mounting one of the horses they rode
back to Maxwe11's and secured another
sleigh. The remainder of the journey
and the home trip were made without
incident. The men are to be congrat-
ulated on the success of the pleasure
trip, and we want to give all people
tip that when Dewey and Torrey start
to take their friends to the Plank road
dinner it's dollars to doughnuts that
they will be among the crowd around
&! the festa1 board.
/ AS to the Kenosha Levites who
passed by on the other side, it is just
as we'll to remark that they never
reached the dinner, but returned to
! Kenosha by a round about way.

windsor Says That ne Will Pile a Suit
Against Gottfredsen for Damages.
That little horse deal between Fred
Gottfredsen and Ben Windsor promises
to furnish some interesting reading
before it is all over. Today Ben stated
that he had purchased the other horse
for So. so and now had team of them,
which, from his statements, it is prob
able can be bought for a very small
amount.
Windsor also stated that he had
ordered his attorney, James Cavanagh,
to bring suit against Gottfredsen to
recover damages on account of the
deal. He alleges that in the first
place he paid $125 for the equine, and
since that time the horse has not been
able to work, and he has been forced to
feed it. Of course he admits that the
purchase of the second horse for the
small sum of 81. so has partially equal
lied his loss, but as he holds that the
two are not worth more than $3.50, he
asks that the court-make Gottfredsen
disgorge to the sum of 1924.
Of course it is probable that the mat
ter will be settled before it reaches the
courts, but things are in very be1li-
Cose condition just at present.
