WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Breezy Gossip on Various Topics
From the Nations Capita.

Republicans in Washington are
greatly elated over the reception
which is being accorded the president
in the New England towns and over
the vigorous and fearless manner in
which he has stated his position in re-
gard to the trusts. They say that he
has so clearly and ably set forth the
proposition and the determination OF
himself and party to meet the problem
and remedy it that he has left no
ground for the democrats to stand on.
His proposition, Il am not advocating
anything revolutionary: am advocat-
ing action TO prevent anything revo-
lutionary," is regarded as terse and
able statement Of his position and that
Of his party and one that will appeal
to the common sense of every sound
business man and thinker in the coun-
try. 1t will contrast strongly with the
remedies offered by the democrats.
free trade, the destruction Of the
trusts. etc. Some leading jurists have
already pronounced themselves in ia
vor OF the presidents proposition, that
corporations should be under the con-
trol Of the federal government They
do an interstate business. almost with
out exception. and it is practically i'm
possible for state legislatures to enact
Legislation which will meet the vary.
ing conditions of the several states.
II is suggested that such change in
national Jurisprudence would be most
promptly followed by the establish
ment of the department of commerce.
which was advocated by the president
a year ago, and that the new depart
ment would maintain relations with
the corporations very similar to those
now maintained between the inter
state commerce commission and the
railroads. To the corporation or trust
doing legitimate business the pro-
posed law could DO no injury and. on
the other hand, it would enable the
prompt control of any that attempted
to use its power to the detriment OF
the people. The exceptional cordial
ity with which the presidents every
utterance has been received by demo-
Gratis as well as by republicans is re-
garded as significant of the general
enthusiasm which the people entertain
towards him and western politicians,

predict that, if anything, the enthusi-
asm of the New England receptions
will be exceeded when Mr.. Roosevelt
goes west.
Much encouragement is felt at the
wording of the republican platform
adopted in California. The warm en-
dorsement Of the presidents admins
tration is exceptionally welcome in the
light of the dire predictions mace by
certain members OF the California del
egation when the Cuban reciprocity
bill was under consideration in con
gress- 1t was feared at that time that
the California republicans, who are
largely interested in the beet sugar
industry. might become incensed at
the strong stand taken by Mr.. RooSe-
welt in favor of the measure and that.
as result, there might be considera-
BILE disaffection and a proportionate
strengthening Of the democratic ranks
The moderate expression, in regard to
reciprocity, in the platform just adopt
ed. and its warm endorsement of the
president have set all doubts at rest.
and, while it is conceded that the dem
ocrats may gain one memb Der from the
state as a result Of local conditions.
that is the worst that is feared BY the
republican leaders.
The great game of attack and de-
fen>e to be played by the army and
navy has TOW begun under the most
favorable auspices. A comprehensive
and extended code of rules has been
adopted and the results will be worked
out by scientific experts. The prob
lens will, in many instances. become
available as basis OF instruction in
the war college and officers here pre-
dict that they will prove of the utmost
value to the naval and military in
structors. Were it. possible to view
the maneurers from sufficient height
they would appear like a great game
OF chess. Extensive target practice
has just been completed with both the
naval guns and those of the cuas, de-
fense artillery and some surprising
records have been made. Although a
hit is scored every time a shot lands
within ship length of the target. an
astonishing number of targets have
been completely demolished by the
expert gunner> Of the navy and artil-
lery. The concensus OF opinion among
the expert authorisies in Washington
is that already the naval and military
maneuvers have proved most valua-
bls to the officers ana men of all the
branches involved and that many i'm.
portant lessons have already been
learned.
The news that General Miles Will 60
10 the Philippines to inspect the army
in all its branches is regarded as an
excellent sign. 1t shows that the
president is only TOO willing TO avail
himself of the long military experi-
ence Of the general commanding the
army in those instances where he be-
ieves il will prove valuable. Every
branch of the army in the Philippines
will be personally inspected by the
general. He will carefully examine
into the hospital and quartermaster's
department and it is expected that he
will be able to make some valuable
suggestions on his return.

Mr., HOUSER
ON THE STAND

one Of the first persons noticeable
when Court was opened for the second
days proceedings, Tuesday morning.
was Mr.. Houser, president of the Board
Of city Commissioners, who had been
located by the ShcHff ana served with
subpoena, in the meantime. AS soon
aH all was ready, Mr. HOuser WAS
sworn and took the stand. He was first
questioned about the original draft of
charges. Mr. Houser said he got the
original "foOlscap" draft from Chief
Durkin. Mr., Frank resumed his Oh
iections to many Of the questions early
l.. the proceedings.
Questioned about the nature of the
talk he had had with Chief Durkin be.
fore charges. were preferred. he an.
swered we were talking over the
testimony the prisoners had given us.
We had perfect right TO. We were in
vestigating."
Q-."Did you advise Chief Durkin to
prefer the chargesY
Al don't know IL I did or not"
Q.-"Were your associates present at
that tHlkT
A.-"Yes, the rest OF the Commission
ers."
Mr.. lIouser told of a trip to Dettling's
and talk with man there who knew
about the case.
He also said he didn't know who
hired Mr., Frank, He supposed Chief
Durkn did. tGNA

ATTORNEY FRANK.
Was II the Board or Chief Who
Hired Him?

Mr.. Rogers next endeavored to get
information about the hiring of At
torney J. G. Frank, who appeared at
the first hearing of Mr.. Washer.
Il think Chief Durllin hired him."
answered Mr. Wildes to question.
Q.-"Did the Board authorize the
Chief to do so?"
Al cont know. l was not in
formed of his employment l merely
saw him there"
Mr.. Wildes was questioned about the
article, published in the local papers,
and signed by Mr.. Seybold. Mr.. Wildes
stated that he saw the article before
1t was published, and while no action
was taken, authorizing or directing its
publication, he supposed it was sane
toned by the Board because they made
10 objection to it.
When cross-CXamined. Mr.. WiIdes
denied that the Board was prejudice
against Mr. Washer, that they were
after his job for any reason, or that
they had any conspiracy to get rid Of
him.
Shortly after o'clock, court was ad-
journed 10 a. m. Tuesday:
The plaintiffs announced that they
had introduced all the testimony they
desired, with one exception. A
subpoena for Mr.. Houser had been is
sued but no service was obtained. be.
cause Mr.. Houser was not to be found.
His colleagues OF the Board stated
that they had no idea of his where
abou's, and Sheriff Kelly could not
locate him.

though they were all overruled. Mrs.
Wirth testified further that afterward
she was approached by Commissioner
Houser. who, evidently suspecting that
she had overheard their conversation,
said that she was mot getting pay
enough" and that he would "see what
he could do for her"
Miss Chloe Newbauer a stenOgrapher
at the City Hall, who was steno-
grapher at the interrupted hearing OF
Mr. Washer before the Commissioners,
was the. next witness examined. She
had with her the shorthand notes she
took at that trial, and told. over the
objections of Mr.. Frank. Of parts Of
the proceedings that were ordered

Cross.cXamination failed to change her
story any and she was dismissed.
City Clerk Charles II. ISbCll was
then placed on the stand. He was pre-
sent at the first hearing of Mr.. Washer,

Judge Hayden sustained Mr.. Franks
objection and he was not required 10

On cross examination Mr.. Frank
went over the events of the examina-
ton of prisoners before the charges
were preferred.
Mr.. Houser said he had no prelimin-
ary talk with Mr. Washer. He went
to the house of Mrs. Wirth, who was
the first witness examined Monday.

sworn. About the charges, he said he
drafted the originals, in the Office OF

PAY ROLL
Still Being Held
Up.
No Money For City
Employees
In Time To Be of Use For
Christmas.

1t is now certain that the police and
others, whose pay was held up by
Council two weeks ago, will not get
their money in time for Christmas.
The payroll could not be passed at the
meeting Monday night, and Council has
recessed to Dec. 20.
The bills were held up because
among them was the final estimate of
Contractor James Wildes, for the IA
nous Grant st. paving job, which has
been threshcd over and over again IN
Council.
Another effort was made to strike the
item out altogether and an attempt
was also made to hold out $1,000 and
get the payroll passed with the re-
mainder Of the items.
Mr.. Wildes wanted Council TO cut
his bill out altogether rather than hold
up the payroll entirely, but meme of the
methods panned out, and when Council
recessed to Dec 30, the matter was
right where they started in on it, with
the exception that it had passed another
reading.

Venezuela, like its sister states of
South America, is noted for its revolu.
tions. The people seem to have busted
themselves for scores of years in set
ting up governments and revolving
against them. The country is also
noted for it's reputation of not having
a single absolutely full-blooded native
citizen Of any class.
When the Spaniards landed on the
coast in 1400, they noticed small huts
built OH piles driven into the Stagnant
water on the plains. They called it
Venezuela, or Little Venice" They
made attempts to settle there, with
little success The Spanish throne then
gave the province to German mer-
chants, in satisfaction of loans, ana
the Germans plundered 1t, finally
aband!ning It. The Spaniards again
took possession.
The country followed through mum.
erous instructions and stunted de.
velopment until 1880, when com
paratively strong government was set
up. Fifteen years later Spain recog-
nlSed the country's independence, but
this did not end the trouble, for the
country has been In constant revolu-
tion and insurrection ever since.
