POLICY OF ROOSEVELT.
Conservatism Likely to Be the DOM
inant Note of His Administration.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Conserv-
atism is the keynote to the policy of
President Roosevelt This applies
TO reciprocity as well as to foreign
relations and everything else with
which the new administration has to
deal. The members of the cabinet
and others who have had an opportu-
nifty to confer with President Roose-
welt during the last few days have be-
come satisfied that caution and pru-
dence will mark every step he takes.
They are also assured that he is
going to follow the policy of his pred
ecessor and keep ''close to congress.
Nothing in the nature of new depar-
ture will be undertaken until it has
been carefully canyassed with the
party leaders in both houses of con-
gress. Nothing new will be propos-
ed that is not reasonably sure of sue
cess in the national legislature. This
applies to the canal treaty with Great
Britain as well as to reciprocity with
Cuba and with other countries.
Months ago President Mckinley re-
quested Secretary Hay to consult with
senators about the proposed new trea-
ty with England anent the isthmian
canal. His wishes were followed,
and the result is strong possibility
amounting almost to a moral certain
ty that during the coming session a
canal treaty will be submitted and
ratified.
President Roosevelt approves not
only what has been done but the
method of achieving it. He has fal-
len heir not only to Mckinley policies
and the Mckinley cabinet. but at
The very outset of his career he has
acquired the lesson which Mr.. Nc
Kinley, with all his experience, was
some time in learning, and this lesson
is that it does not pay to run ahead of
congress and propose things which
that body Is likely to reject.

OFFERS TO LAY CABLE.
John w. Mackey Asks Permission to
Put Down Oriental Line.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-President
Roosevelt has under consideration q
proposition for the construction of a
cable to the Hawaiian and Philippine
Islands which is not to cost the gov.
ernment cent John w. Mackay
president of the Postal Telegraph and
Commercial Cable companies, and al
SO of the newly organized Pacific Com
mercial Gable company. called On the
president day or so ago and offer
ed to lay cable from San Francisco
via Honolulu and Guam to Manila.
No subsidies nor indemnities are re-.
quired.
All MIR. Mackay wants is permis
sion to land the cable, and an assw
ance that the government will give
him it's business which Is now very
large. He proposes to give guaran.
tees to lay the cable and maintain 1t
without any cost to the government,
the cable company agreeing to give
the government business right of way
and In case of war or other necessity
permit the line to be taken over by
the government
The company furthermore promises
to reduce the present far eastern rates
from 40 to 60 per cent below those
now charged. Mr.. Mackay said
his company would bind itself to be
gin work early and complete the con.
nection between San Francisco and
Honolulu within nine months and the
entire cable to Manila within two
years.
Il! is everywhere conceded that ca
BILE with the new connections of the
country is pressing necessity. and
congress has for several years dis
cussed the subject without result
Various plans have been proposed
most of them calling for large sums
of public money, either through very
heavy subsidies or through the gov
ernment building the cable itself.
The estimated cost of the work is in
the neighborhood of 315.O00.000.
1t is claimed that the consent OF ron.
gress is unnecessary to the permit to
lay the cable, through the direction
of the president. to grant permission
In all probability the desired permits
sion will be given by the president.

STANDS AT THE HEAD.

New York, Feb. 26.-The United
States now stands at the head Of the
worlds exporting nations. The COM
plete figures for the calendar year 1900,
when compared with those of other ma.
tions, show that our exports of domes-
tic products are greater than those of
any other country. The total exports
OF domestic merchandise from the U.
S. in the calendar year 1900 were S1,-
453, ,0I3, 659; those from the United
Kingdom, which has heretofore led in
the race for this distinction, were ST.
418,348, ,O00, and those from Germany
$1,O5O, Gil, 900, and those from France
$787 100000.
Additional interest is given to the
first rank which the United States
now holds as an exporting nation by
the fact that quarter Of century
ago she stood forth i'll that list. In
1875 the domestic exports of the Uni.
ted States were S497, 1858, ,737; those of
Germany S6O7, ,O96, 600: those Of France
$747, 489, 900, and those of the United

he had fired at him in self defense.
Gleason came frequently to his house,

tried to force his way INTO the house
and had broken several panes Of glass.
"When ] saw him coming Sunday" "
said Barrett, Il feared more trouble,
so l locsed the door. He tried to get

pected that he will be able to testify
