Chicago, April 1ss-The Tribunes
Washington correspondent says: General
dent Roosevelt has determined not to re-
tire the lieutenant general, commanding
the army, for the present, at least. This
was the immediate result of visit made
yesterday to the White House by sena-
tors.
President Roosevelt listened atten-
lively while the three oldest and most
respected republican senators-Allison Of
Iowa, Hoar of Massachusetts and Hale of
Maine-urged that the forcible retire
time, within the year and half of his
limit of legal service, would precipitate
upon the country another military con-
troversy similar ito the Sampson Schley
disturbance which could scarcely fail to
have a disastrous effect upon republican
prospects in the next congressional cam
paign The president said frankly it had
been his intention to retire General
Miles, and it was admitted that the state
ment made to the press last Sunday night
| was by authority.
In view of the personal and political
pleas made by the three distinguished
senators the president stated that ne
would delay matters. at least for the
present and If he could see his way
clear would permit General Miles to re-
main at the head of the army until re.
tired by law in August, 1908. unless TIN
! general should in the meanwhile yolun-
| tarily apply for retirement, which he car
do by law.
The conference was entirely frlendl!
throughout. The visitors did not den!
that General Miles might have frequently
made himself obnoxious, but they urge(
first of all that General Miles was en-
titled to great consideration because o
his splendid record in the war between
the states as we'll as in serious ngnt
with the Indians.
On the political side OF the question
the senators urged without reserve tina
the people could not readily be made t
understand the reason for the humilia
ton of soldier who had been ranked
a hero for many years. They declares
that the inevitable result would be t
provoke a contiesyess "a 9; = hat the name
of schley and Miles ss1taid nc coupled to
1 gether in the next Congressional cam
| paign. The opinion was expressed tina
| this might result in the loss OF enoug
republican districts to involve. the con
troll of the house of representatives. Tn
statement was made positively that tn
: Grand Army men, almost as unit, Woul
Z resent the retirement of Miles.

BHtldtsg, Warrington.
Washington, April 1s.-The fate of the
Cuban bill to-day seems to depend on
half a dozen votes.YA desperate effort will
be made to adopt an amendment abolish
ing the sugar differential for all countries
and, If it is successful, it is practically
certain that the bill will not become a
law, for the sugar trust would work
against It's passage.
The list of insurgent republicans num-
bers forty one, the last count having been
made to-day. They are divided, however,
as to whether an amendment to abolish
the differential for all the world is GER
name, and eighteen being rather inclined
to believe that it is not. Representative
Lfttlefield. several weeks ago, thought it
was not germane, but study Of the ques-
ton has changed his mind and, to-day, he
will make strong address to show that
the amendment will be in order. His
speech may win over several of the eigh-
teen doubtful insurgents.
Last nights democratic caucus will
bring the solid democratic vote in support
Of the differential amendment. This vote
added to the twenty three republicans.
makes just a constitutional majority OF
the house. 81
But the PAIRS absentees,s etc. must be
taken into :account, and so it will be seen
the result is in doubt. Both sides are
seurrying for votes to-day and expressing
confidence Of victory. It is pretty fight.
What Afterward:
II the differentia1 amendment carries.
the republican leadership Of the house
will be pretty thoroughly discredited and
the party may suffer in the coming COM
paign. II the amendment fails to carry
there will still be bad blood and friction.
for Representative Cushmans attack on
the house leadership yesterday reflects the
sentiments OF probably every member
save the speaker and committee on rules.
The critical vote will be the vote on
whether the differential amendment is
germane. The bill on final passage will
probably have practically the solid demo
cratic vote and all the republican votes
save these OF the forty-one insurgents.
The division of opinion among the in
surgents regarding whether the differ
entail amendment is germane does not 60
to the merits Of the bill as whole. The
insurgents are unit in opposing the bill
Some OF them, however, do not want to
vote for an amendment which under the
house rules may not be in order.

Dr. Hertz was expelled from Johannes

CHINESE EXCLUSION

Parliamentary Procedure Gives the
Californians Hope.
Washington, April 1S.-In view of the
action of the senate in making the Chinese
exclusion substitute an amendment to the
house bill, it is expected that the action
of the senate will be disagreed to in order
to send the bill to conference. By this
procedure the California members feel
assured that the ultimate measure Of
exclusion can be no less than that in the
senate bill and they hope to secure the
acceptance of some Of the house provisions
in conference.

New York, April 1S.-A special to the

The trust is we'll equipped to extend it's

of the big western houses in the pool is
far greater than is needed for storing
meat With all this space at it's disposal,
the trust has been in position to buy
up all the provisions of any kind it want
ed and hold them in cold storage until a
corner was effected and to unload at big
profit. The colicy was followed in cor
nering the egg market last winter, when
the combination cleared millions 1t is
said that the same system is now being
adopted to corner the potato market.
Independent wholesalers in the meat
business say that the combination has all

trust on the lines of the steel trust this
spring, but that the exposure of it's meth

Republicans viii Meet in City Conven-
ton on March 22nd to Name
Candidates for Offices.
CAUCUSES TO BE HELD MARCH 18th
Enthusiastic Meeting of the COMMITTEES is
Held at the Office of Attorney Buck
master Thursday Evening.

The Kenosha municipal campaign
is on, as both the Democratic and Re
publican city committees have met and
arranged for the holding of their city
conventions and caucuses.
The Republican city convention will
be held at the City Hall on the even
ing Of March 22nd, and the caucuses
will be held in the different wards of
the city on the 10Th. The Democrats
will hold their convention on the even
ing of March oath, and the caucuses on
the 21st.
The old plan of holding conventions
at the last possible minute has been
adhered to by both parties, and the
people will have bare week in which
to investigate into the merits of candi-
dates put up On either ticket.
The meeting of the Republican city
committee held Thursday night at the
Office Of Attorney A. e. Buckmaster
was most enthusiastic one, and every
ward in the city was represented. The
meeting was called to order by D. ].
Harff, the City Chairman, and a gene
raj discussion of the plans of the cam
paign were INDUCED in for several
hours.
The outlook was shown to be most
encouraging, and every member of the
committee reported that everything
was being done to secure Republican
victory. For some time it was thought
that there would be Citizens ticket
placed in the field, but the sentiment
at the meeting of the committee Thurs
day night seemed to favor the nomina-
ton of a regular Republican ticket,
headed by the best man that the party
can furnish for the Office of Mayor.
The Democrats have shown no in
tention of entering into a Citizens
move, and for this reason it is evident
that the campaign will be fought out
on the old lines, and each party will
probably come before the people lay
ing down their principles in platform
which will leave no chance for a
bubble.
At the meeting of the two commit
tees many candidates were suggested
by the different parties for places on
the ticket, but as yet no definite names
are being talked of.
It is conceded by both Democrats
and Republicans that Mayor German
will be re-nominated by the Democ-
racy, and he will accept the nomina-
ton.
The preliminary work of the cam
paign will start today and the repre-
sentatives of both parties will be busy
from now until after the election.

A KENOsHA SONG WRITER.
Atone Michael G. o'Donnell Issues Els
First Sheet Of Music.

Michael G.. O'Donnell, formerly reg
lister of deeds of the county and a well
known young attorney, has found a
new field of labor and there has just
been issued from the press Of Freder-
lex Pol1worth & Brother, of Milwau-
kee, a song from the pen of Mr.. O'Don-
nell entitled, when We Meet Again. 2
The song is pretty little ballad, both
words and music having been com
posed by the Kenosha man. 1t has
been placed on sale at the different
music stores of the city and will un.
doubtedly have large sale. Il
The words Of the song follow:
Should We meet. to speak, what shall say
To the one admired in my fortunes day?
Should despise, or should ignore,
Or only have words that will please in store?
Chorus
When we meet again, will greet her
In words that will always cheer,
And only those that will please her
For she once was my angel dear.
The story, when first knew Of its end,
And that, for me my hope did end;
Oh, how my feelings tried to hide,
For marriage had made her anothers bride.
Tho thoughts Of it all, they come to mind,
And made me sad but not unkind;
The mind will know and the heart will feel,
Tho the part play, will all seem real.
The secret that none will know so well,
The flowers gave to her would tell
That love 1t was, that once sought,
To her only gave, who was my only thought

Hosiery Company Will Increase Their
Force by Four Hundred When
New Buildings are Done.
WORKERS ARE HARD TO SECURE.
Company May be Forced to Build Coop
erative Lodging and Eating Houses
to Procure workers for Plant.

The managers Of the Chicago-Rock-
! ford Hosiery works are Epreparing to
increase their working force at the
plant from a thousand to fourteen
hundred people during the coming
summer, and theamanagers are now
busy devising schemes by which this
larmy Of workers may be secured in
Kenosha.
The work on the new buildings will
start within few days, and they will
be hurried to completion as soon as
possible. The question that is now
uppermost is how to get 1aborers to
fill up the new plant. For some time
the company has been forced to adver-
tise for girls in all parts Of the State,
| but the returns from these ADVERTISE
ments have not been sufficient to pro-
vide for the rpresent demands, and
other methods will have to be adopted.
Several plans have been suggested,
but the one that has appealed best to
the managers Of sthe factory is the
building Of a model lodging house and

employed by them.
The Hosiery company have plenty Of
land in the neighborhood Of the fac
tory to provide site for the proposed
club, and it is probable that it will be
built during the present year. The
club will be the most unique thing of
the kind in the United States and, like
the plan Of the Hosiery works to fur
nish luncheon for their workers, it
will be an Innovation in factory life.
Similar plans have been adopted in
other factories on much smaller
scale and they have proven to be bene
fetal both to the employer and to the
workers.
The new buildings at the Hosiery
works will be sufficiently large to al
most double the capacity of the factory.
The buildings will be erected at cost
of ten thousand dollars and an equal
amount will be spent in equipping the
new plant.
