PACIFIC COAST FLOUR p

New York, Nov 17.-William Thomas,
Of California, who Is promoting trust Of
the Pacific coast Touring mill industry, in
an interview said: :
II have been in negotiation with capt.

would be too much at this time to say
that the consolidation will certainly be
effected. The men I have been negotiat-

standing in New York.

the market will be relieved in a few days,
but at present no proposition involving

BAHcoCK DECLINED
Wisconsin Congressman Then Decided to

Support the Illinois Man.. >..'
Milwaukee, Nov. 17.-The Wisconsin re-
publican delegation to the fifty eighth
congress decided to support the candidacy
Of Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois for the
speakership.
This action was taken after the delega-
ton had unanimously offered it's earnest
support to Congressman Babcock, who
declined to be a candidate and advocated
unanimous support Of Mr.. Cannon. Mr..
Babcock addressed the delegation, ex-
pressing his thanks for the proffered sup
port. He said:
The first and most important thing
to be considered is harmonious organ
ization, one that will bring to the speaker
all the elements of strength in the party
THE east has several distinguished
gentlemen whose names have been men,
toned for speaker, among them Serene E.
Payne and j. S. Sherman Of New York.
John Dalzell Of Pennsylvania, G. e. Little
field Of Maine, and in the middle west,
Theodore E. Burton of Ohio.
THE west proper. has but one an
nounced candidate, Joseph G. Cannon Of
Illinois, the veteran leader Of the house,
ripe in experience, courageous. wise and
above reprOach, whose highest ambition
would be to faithfully promote the success
of, the republican party, to give heed to
public sentiment on the great questions
that confront US now and we are likely to
consider in the fifty-eighth congress and
to maintain that cooperation of the house
with the senate so necessary to wise and
careful legislation.
If I should enter the field as can
didate it would mean a long-drawn con-
test that might leave scars that would,
in the end, prevent that harmony of or
ganization which, in the public interest,
should be preserved, especially in the
west.
after considering the subject from all
standpoints, including those which I have
mentioned, I have concluded not to enter
the list of candidates for the speaker

The Action of the Northwestern
States Settles the Speaker

Pledges Enough Have Been Secured
to Give Him the Requisite
1O5 Votes. =

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE action taken Sat-
urday by the congressional delegation OF
Minnesota and the Dakotas in St. Paul
and the delegation Of Wisconsin in Mil
waukee in indorsing Joseph G. Cannon OF
the twelfth Illinois district for speaker
settles the contest.
I'VE have solid delegations" said Con-
gresham Mann, who have pledged them
selves to Congressman Cannon, from Ne
braska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois
Wyoming. the Dakotas Kansas, Missouri,
Tennessee, Delaware, Rhode Island, New
have pledges enough in states where dele
cations have not met-Iowa, Michigan,
Ohio. Massachusetts, Connecticut and
Colorado--to assure his selection.
Representatives from some of these
states will meet early this week, and in
some OF them we expect a solid vote. 1t
will take 104 or 105 to nominate, figuring
on FOG republicans. In the east Of course,
there may be some fun. New York has
in congress the doorkeeper; Pennsylvania
the clerk of the house. Alexander Nc
DoweI; Ohio the postmaster. James Nc
Elroy; Wisconsin has the sergeant at
arms, Henry Carson. These are about all
the elective offices, and 1t looks as though
the whole thing is pretty we'll settled.
Uncle Joe Cannon will be the next
speaker Of the house. We have more
than enough votes pledged for him now.
In fact. judging from kilograms yester-
day, we could have had Utah. Idaho, Ore
gon. Washington, Kentucky, part of New
Jersey and Montana
When asked concerning the action Of the
delegates, Mr.. Cannon said
Il am very grateful for the action Of
the various delegates who have pledged
their support to me. I am not only graft

member personally, all of whom I know.

HE IS VERY "GAME"
The President Starts Out After Bar
at Daybreak in a Heavy
Rain.
Holt Collier Says '"The Colonel Is

tenous Hunter

Smedes, Miss, Nov. 17.-Rain, which
began falling last night, was still COM
Ing down this morning, and the prospect
for a resumption Of the bear hunt from
| the camp on the Little Sunilower was
not dattering. The rain was not a pelt-
Ing downpour, but a steady, cold autumn
drizzle, which the weatherwise hereabouts
predicted might continue for several days.
The chances are that the president of the
United States has had his fun spoiled at
least for the day. The manner in which
"the colonel stuck to the trail on Sat-
urday long after the others had aban-
doned the chase and returned to camp,
earned for him the most profound respect
of Holt Collier, who said he was power
full game and persistentous hunter" 4
| On his hunting expeditions he is accus-
toned to roughing it in all kinds of
weather. good tent over his head to
keep him dry is more than he has had
in the old days when he was caught in q
storm while after big game in the Rock

camp. The train will leave here in time

The menu included roast bear paws and

served in camp style on a rough pine

4 WORD AGAINST WARREN
Leech Lake Indians Say That He
Did Not Tote Fair in a
Timber Case.

from The journal Bureau, Room E5, Posa
Building; Vas1,isgten.
Washington, Nov. 17.--Indian Commits
sioner Jones to-day received from Gus
Beaulieu, on behalf Of the Indians of
Leech Lake reservation and others, a pro-
test against the appointment of E. R.
Warren as chief timber estimator under
the Morris act. The protest was based on
the alleged fact that Warren had con-
tracts to cut the dead and down timber
under Captain Mercer; that he cut lot
of green timber and settled for it under
the market price. The protest was re-
ferred to Secretary Hitchcock, but will
hardly have any effect, because the ap-
pointment has been made.
