Secretary Gage keeps on buying
government bonds. He does this
so as to keep the treasury surplus
from getting nnmanageabIy high.
His Democratic predecessor, Sec
rotary Carlisle, had to sell bonds
instead of buy them. Carlisle's
problem was to get gold to come
into the treasury, while Cages diff

News Notes From the Capital


Pres. Roosevelt has disclosed
some of the details Of his long con-
ference with Sen. RJelson w. Aid
rich, chairman Of the COMMITTEES on
finance, and they prove food for
serious thought. The senator
made the claim that Sen. Kasson
had been injudieious in the nego-
tiation Of the treaties, that the ad.
vantages were all on the side Of the
foreign nations and, in fact, that.
as they stood, they were regarded
by the senators who had .srrutin-
ICED them as almost predatory on
American manufacturing Tntel 'ests.

10 reply, Mr.. Roosevelt called
attention TO the sentiments that he
had expressed in his Minneapolis
speech when he said, 1--WE have
got to remember that our first duty
IS to our own people" He said
that, while he believed that some
advantages might be derived from
reciprocity treaties, the keynote
OF his relations with the subject
would be found in the words Of
Pres. Mckinley when he said, "By
sensible trade arrangements which
will not interrupt our home pro-
duction we shall extend the outlets
for our increasing surplus" When
seen later in the day, Sen. Aldrich
expressed himself OF the opinion
that Pres. Roosevelt would be
found to be perfectly sound on the
question Of protection and reel.

Another caller at the White

to Washington to see the president
and to protest against any recon-

against any legislation looking TO
the admission Of Cuban sugar on a
plane with American sugar. Mr.,

dustry had been built up at a tire
mendous expense as compared
with the immediate returns, that
this year the output of beet sugar
would amount to 400, 600 tons, that
the manufacturers and farmers had
