steamship Carisbrook Castle. He was met
by Messrs. Fischer Vessels and Des
Bruyn, the former Boer delegates. He will
go 10 The Hague. where former President
Kruger will go from Utrecht tc meet him
Monday.
Mr.. Steyn was too i'll to bear the journey
to London, although a special saloon car
riage had been attached to the regular
boat train for him. His physician would
not allow him to be interviewed by the
press. but Mr.. Steyn sent word that he
wished to express his thanks for the cour-
tesies extended to him by the British au-
thorities since the surrender. and for the
care given him during the voyage
The former president was removed on a
stretcher to the Dutch steamer Batavier
III. which was moored close to the Caris-
brook Castle. He Will be landed at the
Hook of Holland and conveyed in an am
bulance to the cottage reserved for him

BOUND FOR OYSTER BAY
DELEGATIONS TO PRESENT CAN.
DIDATEs FOR COMMISSIONER.
Friends Of Mr.. Cotter T. Bride and
General S. S. Yoder,
Respectively.

The race for the District commissioner
ship presented no new features today un-
less 1t be in the preparations made by sew
eral delegations to visit Oyster Bay in be-
half Of their respective candidates. a
delegation representing the interest of Cot
ter 7. Bride, the Bryan candidate, will
leave tonight for Long Island to interview
the President. A delegation, made up
mostly of old soldiers, will go to Oyster
Bay in behalf of General S. S. Yoder.
Delegations to present the names of Greed
NJ. Fulton and Louis z. Shoemaker are
also talked of today, and it seems probable
that during the next few days oyster Bay
will be filled with District people.
The Bride delegation, it is understood,
will be quite a formidable one, and will
carry a big petition with it. Endorsements
from men Of national political prominence
form part of the Bride delegations para
phernalia.
The friends of Mr.. William V. Cox, Mr..
Henry L. West and Mr.. Thomas B. Fer
guson continue to be very active, and are
conducting their campaigns in a quiet but
effective manner, and whether by delega-
tions or otherwise, their names will be prop
erly placed before the chief executive. The
race is regarded as a particularly open
one.
A Straightout Democrat.
w
Clayton Of Brightwood Park, his friends In
sist that his name shall be urged despite
the fact that Mr. Clayton is said to favor
the selection of Mr.. Cox. Mr.. Clayton is
termed a straight-out democrat by his
friends, and they claim he Is peculiarly fit
ted, politically and otherwise, for the COM
missonership.
There has been some mention of the name
of John B. Larner today, but as Mr.. Lar
ner has never gone in much for politics and
he is not seeking the office, it is regarded
as doubtful if he will allow his name to be
used.
Judge 8. S. Yoder is urged by some of the
most substantial business men and fnan-
ciers, as well men prominent in the
professions and politics. The veterans are,
however, making united effort, with Com

RIDICULED BY BROUSSARD.
Prediction That Six Republicans Will
Be Elected From louisiana

Representative BrOussard of Louisiana
was in Washington today on his way home
after an extended trip through the east
Mr.. Broussard has an interesting story to
tell of political conditions in Louisiana,
which. he says, have filtered to him through
the medium of the newspapers and his cor
respondence.
The latest claim regarding the political
color of the next Louisiana delegation in
Congress is that the lily-white' republicans
VIII send six representatives to the next
House" said Mr. Broussard 70 a Star man
today. Il presume the only reason that
they did not claim seven is because they
have not found out yet that the appOrtion-
ment act gives the state one more than the
old number.
The lily whites are a brand-new repub-
lican organization The principal plank in
their platform IS protection to cane sugar.
On this rock they split from the democratic
party, and the present administration seems
TO want to encourage the movement, for
according to all reports the federal ap-
pointments in the state have all gone to the
lly-whites' since their organizatio They,
however. have evinced somewhat of de
sire to bring in the other two republican
organ!Za tiOns in the state with them by
distributing some of this patronage to a
few blacks and others.
with the organization of the new repub-
lican party in Louisiana the number of such
organizations has been increased to three.
AS to the actual strength of the entire three
organizations, l should say that If they
could bring all of their votes together into
one district they might have a fair chance
of electing one republican to Congress from
that state. AS they are scattered through
out the state. you can from this how
much chance there is for the fulfillment of
their prediction Of sending six sugar repub-
Hcans to Congress

TO CUT DOWN EXPENSE
CHANGES TO BE MADE IN EN-
CRAVING BUREAU.
Strict Economy to Be Observed-Bid
for Stamps Was Under
the Cost.

There seems to be no doubt that the bu-
reau of engraving and printing will get the
contract for the printing Of postage stamps
during the coming year. This probably
would be the case if the bureaus bid were
even a little higher than that of the only
other bidder, but the fact is that while the
outside bid for the printing of the stamps
was somewhat lower than that submitted
by the bureau, the latter's bid for furnish
ing the stamp books was very much lower
than that of its competitor. so that taking
the two items together the bureaus bid
is the better by $3,O50. 1t is well understood
that this offer is less than the actual cost
of the work during the year just closed,
but no doubt is expressed that at the close
of the coming year the aggregate expense
will be found to be well within the bid.

best to accomplish something that line.

Changes to Be Made.
Mr.. Allies and Mr.. Church, who is the su-
perintendent of machinery at the Philadel

a part of today in going through the stamp
department, and it is fair assumption that
several changes for the better will soon be
made.
