The president has, by the appoint
ment of Robert G. Houston as col
lector of the port of Wilmington,
practically defined his position to-
wards the J. Edward Addicks fac
tion in Delaware. It will be re-
membered that Mr.. Addicks has
been the means of curtailing the
senatorial representation of his state
for a number of years. He is not
sufficiently influential to secure the
senatorial election himself and his
contention has merely operated to
prolorg deadlock which has made
the election of a republican senator
from that state impossible. Mr.
Houston is prominent anh-Ad-
dicks leader, is chairman of the
Sussex county republican committee
and has the warm support of Repre-
sentative Hall, the only conpres
sional representative of Delaware at
the present time. The president re-
Gently appointed a postmaster at
Wilmington who was unfriendly TO
Mr. Addicks and with this new ap
pointment it is predicted that Ad-
dicks power will soon be so weak
ened that Delaware will soon be
able to send her full quota TO con
gress.

Senator Hanna, who came to
Washington on Friday and called at
the White House for the first time
since Mr. Roosevelt's succession to
the presidency, expresses the belief
that there is no occasion to revise
the present law and the people
would seriously disapprove such &C
tion on the part of congress. Sena
tor Platt concurs with Senator Han
ma and Senator Depew says IRE
ciprocity is impractical and tariff
tinkering not to be thought Of" In
view of these decided opinions on
the part of the leaders of his party
it is not believed that the president
will make any recommendation to
the contrary Whatever his private
views may have been, Mr.. Roose-
welt is too level headed to consider
himself in as good a position to
judge of the wishes of the people as
are their representatives from all
over the country.

Professor Weber also reports graf
flying success with his experimental
plots of Egyptian cotton. He is con
ducting experiments in Mississippi,
Florida, Georgia and Texas and,
while he is not yet prepared to speak
definitely, he believes that it will be
found practical and possible to grow
crops of from one-half to three-quar-
ters of a bale of this cotton per acre
and that a market ranging from six
to ten cents per pound for ordinary
cotton will pay from fifteen to TWEEN
ty-two cents for the Egyptian variety.

It has been given out that the
president has decided not to reap
point Gov. Jenkins Of Oklahoma,
who received his commission from
President Mckinley last summer
There have been charges made
against Jenkins at the White House
to tho effect that his relations with
certain contractors, who have been
engaG ed in the construction Of some
public works, were not all that
could be desired. With character
istio fairness Mr. Roosevelt gave
Mr.. Jenkins an opportunity to de-
fend himself against his accussrs
but as he has heard nothing from
the governor he viii probably ap-
point his successor at an early date.

Mr.. Clifford Pinchot, chief of the
bureau of forestry, says that he has
recently received a request for
working plan for a tract of 1000, 600
acres of long leaf pine land, this tract
comprising about eighty per cent. of
the virgin long-leaf pine forest Of
Texas. This is only one of many re-
quests made upon the bureau, the
total number Of which cover an ag-
gregate area of over 100000
acres, exclusive of 90, ,0OO, 900 acres Of
government forest reserves in the
care of which the bureau renders
such technical assistance as may be
called for by the secretary Of the
interior.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

The republican congressman are
coming to Washington in consider
able numbers aud the president has
received them all and has had sever
al conferences with the members Of
the ways and means committee.
Gen. Grosvenor Of Ohio believes
there is no desire OH the part of the
country for tariff revision. He
says "The result shows there will
be no more revision of the tariff by
congress than there will he revi-
sion of the Ten Commandments
The verdict is not only against any
revision of the tariff but against
any reciprocity treaties that will nf-
feet the principles of protection. -
Hon. Serano E. Payne, chairman of
the ways and means committee, is
confident that no change is needed
and that TO open the subject would
have a disquieting effect on business
that would more than offset any
good that might be accomplished
Maj Steele, another member of the
committee, has seen the president
and states that in his judgment
"any tariff tinkering would be most
injudiolous. F" So far as / have been
able to learn this is the almost
unanimous opinion of the republi-
can members with the exception of
a few who, like Representative Bah
cock, have mistaken a local senti-
ment for national opinion.

Chief BOtanist F. V. Colvllle in a
bulletin called the "Origin and Dis
tribution Of the Cocoa Palm" ad-
vances the theory that the cocoanut is
indigenous to this continent and that
its presence in Ceylon, Philippines,
New Guinea, ETC., can only be ac-
counted for by the theory that it was
carried to the East from this continent
in prehistoric times. Prof Colville
believes that his Investigations are a
strong confirmation Of the PROPOSE
tion advanced by anthrOpologists that
at some prehistoric time there exist
ed communication between North
America and Asia by way Of Bering
straits. Local anthropologists are
much interested in Professor Col
vilie's deductions.

Washington republicans are in
dignant over the situation in Mary
land and declare it is an example of
the length to which the democrats
will carry things when permitted to
do so. They have the control of
the machine aud will probably be
able to control the legislature, ire
spective of how the people voted ,
but there is every reason to believe
that the next time the people have
an opportunity to express their
wishes at the polls they will do so
in such certain tones that no amount
OF corruption will prevent democrat
ic defeat.

Prot. II. J. Weber Of the bureau
of plant industry tells me that he has
developed variety of COW peas
which, he is convinced, is proof
against the attacks of the root worm,
so destructive ofthis crop, particular
ly in the south. He says that the
root-knOt worm works on a variety
Of plants including potatoes, tomatoes
and peaches, and many of the peach
growers have been afraid to avail
themselves of the advantages to be
derived from the nitrogen gathering
pea for fear of the introduction of the
root-knot worm into the peach trees.
The new variety, which is selection
from the Little Iron pea, will afford
no harbor or sustenance to the pest and
may therefore, be used in all locali-
ties without danger. He believes
that this discovery will result in in
calculable benefit to the southern
farmer.

Every government employe who
had a vote in New York state, from

House steward, went home to vote
and the result of the elections thore

topic of onversation since. The Sc

Greater New York is regarded by

a vote of confidence in the capabil-

women and highway robbers.

The prompt and courageous resist
ance Of a lady in New York City to n
thief who lately attacked her in the
tunnel on Fourth avenue, resulting in
the arrest Of the miscreant and the re
covery of the lady's pocketbo0k. was
an incident OF the hour which had
much suggestiveness, A great city has
its desperate characters, and they are
Of two sorts. One set belong to the
professedly criminal class, the powers
that prey" They arc always proving
about, ready to pouncc on those whom
they may rob, and they particularly
affect crowds and haunt the avenues
where throngs abound. Another set is
composed of men out Of work and de-
spairing, driven to desperate deeds by
the hunger Of wives and children. They
are not less perilous foes to meet than
the other, and the contrasts of city life
often incite them to theft. Women
are wise to wear no iewelry in the
streets, and to keep their purses out Of
sight. Temptation should not be Of
fered either to the amateur or the pro.
fessional thief
When formerly n woman would faint
and scream. or let herself he robbed
with impunity, she now defends her
property with vigOr, and has no notion
Of letting a hlghwayman get scathless
away. Our women of the higher
classes are athletic enough to take
care of themselves in an emergency,
and are not easily frightened. which,
considering the world beneath the sur
face and it's menaces, is a thing for
gratitude.-Collier's Weekly.
