mainder of this week with republican lead
ers. 1t is understood that the message is
not so long as those of recent years, ana

Vice Governor Wright Calls.
Gen. Luke Wright, vice governor of the
Philippines, called on the President after
the cabinet session and remained some
time with him. General Wright says he
will remain in the United Estates about
ninety days. His health, he said, had been
good while in the islands, and he saw noth-
ing wrong with the climate so far as health
was concerned, If residents would take
proper care of themselves

Minister Quesada Of Cuba. called on the
President on a personal matter They knew
each other we'll and their, reia tions are most
friendly. Just before his call at the White
House Mr.. Quesada had been to the State
Department. where he had shown Secretary
Hay a cablegram from Senior zaldo, sec
retary of state of the Cuban government,
saying that the strike situation In Havana
was we'll in hand and that order was as
sured. Senor Zaldo conveyed assurances
that the situation was not serious and
would be handled without trouble.
The Italian ambassador, Signor Edmondo
Mayor des Planches, was the other foreign
representative who called on the President
He was with Mr.. Roosevelt a short time.
Judge w. w. Morrow of California. who
is a personal friend Of the President, had
a chat with the chief executive. Judge

from 1SSo-lS91, and was acquainted with
President Roosevelt at that time. Judge

The New York Situation.
Col. George w. Dunn Of Binghamton,
chairman of the republican state central
committee of New York, was one Of the
callers upon President Roosevelt before
the meeting Of the cabinet. They had
chat, during which the political situation
in New York was discussed briefly.
Representative Richa rdson of Alabama
obtained from the President promise to
appoint Augustine W. White to second
lieutenancy IN the army. Mr.. White is
member of an old Alabama family, and had
the cordial support in his application for
appointment of John c. Greenaway, an
officer Of the Presidents regiment, the
Rough Riders
Senator Fairbanks in Conference.
Senator Fairbanks Of Indiana spent some
time with the President. presumably In dis
cussing the tariff and other questions. It is
not thought that the Indiana Judgeship will
be passed upon by the President for some
time. The resignation of Judge Baker was
effective some time ago, but the President
is in no hurry to fill the place. The belief
strongly prevails that the vacancy will be
filled by man to be named by Senator
Fairbanks, and that the President has al
ready informed the senior Indiana senator
that he will be pleased to have him indorse
a good man.
Senator Dietrich of Nebraska, Chief JUS
tice Fuller, Representative Tawney of Min
nesota, Representative Cooper, General
Leonard Wood and Hamhn Garland, the
western novelist, were among the others
