There has been no better summing
up OF the situation in this campaign
than that made by Senator Fairbanks
Of Indiana, when he said in bis speech
at Kansas City that, The Republican
party must have the credit Of admin
isteriug the business affairs Of the
country in such way as to give con-
idsncs to enterprise. The people
know that It's policies are wise and
that its administration is as wise as
its policies. Prosperity does not
seem sectional but general through
out the country. The Democratic
party is without definite policies or
leadership"

since 1892 when there was no law
for presidential succession, although
after the death Of Garfield the law had
but one life between it and chaos.
The law Of 1902 provided that in case
Of death or disability Of both presi.
dent and vice-president, the president
pro tempore Of the senate, or, il none,
the speaker Of the house, should be-
come acting president. At the time
Of the death Of President Garfield
there was no president pro tenn Of
the senate, and no speaker Of the
house. Had President Arthur died,
the presidential succession would
have ended. The new law, passed in
1886, provides that in the event Of
the death Of the president and vice.

secretary Of the treasury, the score.

THE KAISER AND
AMBASSADOR WHITE

BERLIN, Nov. 21.-Emperor William
in his farewell audience with Ambassa-
dor White today presented him with
the gold medal of the Empire for
science and art, which is given once a
year to person; either a German or
foreigner, who, in the opinion of the
government, is best entitled to it. En-
peror William said that while it was a
pleasure to make the presentation, he
did so on the recommendation OF Chan
cellor Won Buelow and Foreign Secre-
tary Won Richthofen. His Majesty ad-
ded that as personal remembrance he
was having a porcelain vase made at
the royal workship here for Mr.. White.
With Emperor William when Mr..
White handed His Majesty President
Roosevelt's letter of recall were Count
Won Uienburg, the Grand Marshal of
the court, and Baron Won Denknoes-
beck, the introducer of ambassadors,
who drove to the palace with Mr.. White
in an Imperial carriage. The United
States flag was raised over the palace
as Mr. White approached.
Emperor William was very cordial in
his reception of the retiring Embassa-
dor. His Majesty said he appreciated
how much Mr.. White had done to for
ward good understanding between
the United States and Germany, and
added:
THE only thing you have ever done
that / do not like is your leaving us. y
The Emperor alluded laughingly to
Mr. Roosevelt's hard luck while bear
hunting in the South and begged to be
remembered to him personally when
Mr.. White wrote to the President.

the cruise the warship's officers annex
ed Suwarrow, Ysabel Choiseul Islands,
for Great Britain. At Malieta Island
five villages of the natives were shelled
to punish the islanders for having killed
F'ijian woman because she embraced
Christianity. With a view to impressing
the natives with the seriousness of the
crime committed by them and Of warn
ing them against a recurrence of such
acts, the Sparrow visited five places in
the island of Malieta, namely, Auki,
Sio, Uras, Kwai and Port Diamond, and
at each place the villages were shelled
and partially destroyed.
The steamer Ventnor, which recently
took lumber from this coast to the
Orient, has foundered near Ho Kiang,
near New Zealand, when bound from
Wellington to Hongkong with coal and
500 coffins containing the remains of
Chinese for re-interment in China. The

east of Mount Egmont, and being float

wires for the Pacific Commercial Cable
Company, arrived in the city last even

him Thomas Trebell, ofs San Francisco,
the expert who will have charge of the
putting in of the cables, who as well
has an assistant, and two men to have
charge of the work of splicing the

When Mr.. Martin left San Francisco
it was the expectation that the Silver
town would reach that city, with the
cable, not later than December 9Th, and
that the work of putting down the deep
sea line would be commenced within a
week from that time. He said last even
ing that his work in the Coast city

line laid from the station on the beach
to the city office of the company, so
that the ship would have nothing to do
but land the end of the cable, and at
once proceed on the journey between
the Coast and this city.
