BRANTLEY ON HENDERSON.
Says the Speaker Feared to Lose
His House Leadership.

Says the Speaker Feared to Lose
His House Leadership.
Brunswick, Ga, Sept. 21.-Hon. w.
G. Brantley, representative of the
Eleventh district in Congress, together
with Mrs. Brantley, reached the city
yesterday from a visit over his district.
Col. Brantley was seen by your cor
respondent and talked interestingly OF
the political situation. He is of the
opinion that Chairman Griggs has done
magnificent service in the cause of De-
mocracy as chairman of the Congress
sional Committee and while he says
the odds are against him, he would
not be surprised to see the country
render the House to the Democrats in
the fall election.
In speaking of the sudden retirement
of Speaker Henderson, Mr.. Brantley
says he thinks that the action of Mr..
Henderson was due more to his fears
for reelection as speaker of the
House than to his success in the Third
Iowa district.
Speaker Henderson" says MI.
Brantley, lis decidedly in an awkward
attitude. His immediate constituency
are demanding a revision of the tarlf,
and the great majority of the voters
in his district are committed to TINS
policy, whereas, the Republican party
as a whole favor a protective tarlI,
and on this issue, he would have 10
face his colleagues in his contest Tor
speaker. He was between two fires
and sought cover"
Mr.. Brantley holds the opinion tnat
the tariff question will be the cardinal
feature of the next presidential cleo
ton, and argues that all questions,
such as the trusts, Imperialism, etc.
are secondary to this question, wnlch,
after all, is the great balance wheel
from which auxiliary measures get
their momentum. He thinks the coal
strikes in the East and "one year OIL
Roosevelt" together with the apparent
evils. have all served to play into De-
mocracy's hands; "and," said the con-
gresham, while / am not prophet,
it does seem to me that II Democrats
will look after their fences and har-
monize within the party, write a good
stable platform and nominate some
man who enjoys the confidence of the
people, that they will have a splendid
chance of placing a Democratic Presl-
dent in the White House in 1904"
Mr.. Brantley says he has been TAX
ing a little trip over his district, and
with the exception of an outlook for
a short cotton crop, he finds the peo-
pie prosperous and happy. He is en-
loving the very best of health him-
self. and, If appearances count Tor
ANYTHING. he will be in good shape to
give the Republicans good, lively
tussle when Congress meets In Decein-
Der.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The bureau
Of statistics of the Agricultural De-
partment, disturbed by complaints of
discrepancies between the depart
ment's crop reports and various COM
mercial estimates, has determined to
make an investigation with the view
OF lnsuring absolute accuracy in flu
ture reports.
The subject has been thoroughly con-
sldered in the department and Secre-
tary Wilson has authorized Statistician
John Hyde to use every available
means to ascertain wherein the differ
ences lie. 1t has been determined to
send at once into the cotton belt ten
experts who will visit every cotton
shipping point and make the closest
personal investigation, taking into ac-
count every pound of cotton and its
origin, whether of this years crop or
Oh that of another season.
The effort of the department will be
directed to insure the greatest posi-
Bile accuracy in estimates as to cotton
on hand, as well as to cleaning infor-
nation, which will tend to absolute
reliability in the departments esti-
mates of crops.

Capt. Syendrup's Explorations Have
Been of Vast Importance.
London Sept. 22.-Dispatches from
Stavenger, Norway, say that Capt.
Sverdrup, who returned there last Fri
day from his Arctic expedition in the
steamship Fran, mapped while he was
in the north, an extensive district in
the vicinity of latitude 81 81, longitude
10. He considers it probable that
groups of islands of the same character
as those already known stretch to the
westward as far as the meridian of
Boring Strait.
The Times, in an editorial article on
Capt. Sverdrup's personal narrative of
his trip, highly compliments the ex-
plorer upon the abundant and valuable
addition he has made to Arctic knowl-
edge.
His trying expeditions have filled
a great gap in our knowledge" says
the Times, land show that he did
wisely in abandoning the larger task"
The Times considers that as Lieut..
Peary met no land in his last attempt
to reach the pole, Capt Sverdrup has
probably discovered the last CUTLER
between the American continent and
the North Pole.

Nothing to Disturb Serenity of New
York Republicans on the Eve of a
state Convention.
Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 21.-Not in
many years has there been two nights
prior to the assembling of a New
York State Republican Convention
such placidity as exists tonight I'm
doubtedly, this is because by far the
ma iority of selections for the state
ticket have been practically agreed
upon Gov. Odell will, of course, be re-
nominated. The contest for Lieuten-
ant Governor practically ended to-
night, when it was announced that the
delegations from New York, West
chester and Erie counties had decided
to go into the convention pledged for
George r. Sheldon. There is little or
no platform talk tonight The blanks
on trusts, the tariff and canals are the
only new ones that cause any discus
sion, the tax question having already
been generally outlined in the speeches
of Gov. Odell.
There has not as yet been anything
definitely decided on the trust plank.
except that while condemning certain
combinations of capital, there will be
no appeal to Congress for drastic leg
islation. This statement is on the au-
thority of Mr.. Plat, who added that
the draft of the platform was not COM
plete.
On the tariff question the indications
are that a very definite stand will be
taken against revision, on the ground
that the benefit to be gained will be
small as compared with the injury that
will be done American industries and
American Workingmen by the opening
of the question of revision.
N. N. Stranahan, collector of the port
of New York, said tonight:
THE plank in the platform indorsing
President Roosevelt's administration
and his candidacy to succeed himself
will be as strong as any close adherent
of the President can wish for"
