SAIL ON LA SAVOIE
GENERALS PORTER AND WOOD
AND SECRETARY ROOT.
Former Talks of the Position This
Country Holds in World
Politics.

NEW YORK. July 24.-General Horace
Porter, United States ambassador to
France, Secretary of War Elihu Root and
General Leonard Wood sailed on La Sa-
vote today for France. General Porter just
before going on board the steamship said:
Il leave America again with very many
regrets. after having reveled in the enjoy
ment of meeting hosts of old friends and
viewing nearby the matchless progress of
our marvelously prosperous country L
speak of it thus not in a spirit of boaSting
but of thanksgiving In few short years
it has been raised to the proud position of
a world power, and its place among the
nations and it's influence abroad have been
so altered that every American must feel
the change. We have shown the world that
We can be progressive without being ag-
gTesSiye, and that. while We have just
confidence in our strength, the spirit of our
people and our vast commercial interests
give an ample guaranty that our example
and our efforts will always be in the drec-
tlon of doing justice to others and being
one of the most prominent factors in pre-
serving the worlds peace. There has never
been period in our history when the wise,
broad and clear-sighted craftsmanship dis
played at Washington has been more ad-
mired and respected by foreign powers.
"A new cabinet has come into power In
France since | left Paris. / am very glad
that lne eminent statesman, Mr.. DelcaSse
remains minister of foreign affairs. He
has during his unusually long and success
full career in that important place gained
the respect and esteem of all diplomats who
have come into official rela tions with him.
Secretary Root is going with me on a
short trip to Europe. l know of one
who better deserves a respite from his ard
uous labOrs. or who will be better received
abroad where a knowledge of his high and
well-merited reputation will have preceded
him. He is the CarnOt of this adminiStra-
tion-the Organizer of victory But there,
l am such an enthusiastic friend of his that
l cannot speak of him without running into
a eulogy and he needs no eulogist."

Denial of Rumor Concerning
Steamship Merger.
STATEMENT BY MORGAN
SAYS SYNDICATE HAS UNTIL DE
CEMBER 81.
Report Started Through a Statement
Made by North Atlantic
Company.

LONDON. July 24.-J. S. Morgan & Co,
the London branch of J. p. Morgan & Co,
when asked concerning published state
ments that the completion of the purchase
of shares in steamship companies by the
shipping combine had been delayed, said

There is no delay in the payment for
shares. The contracts with all the COM
panies concerned, sealed and delivered,
give us until December 81 to complete pay
ment- We do not propose to act inside this
limit
Asked by representative of the Asso-
ciated Press today about the situation of
the shipping combine and the statements
published in the United States that its con-
summation was considered doubtful, J..
PierpOnt Morgan. jr., said:
IF people would only take pains TO read
the terms of the agreement. which was
published on both sides of the Atlantic.

Concerning Company's Statement.
When shown the circular of the North

purchase of the shares of the company by
Mr.. Morgan, sr., was Unexpectedly de-

unexpected 20 them. though why it should
be | am unable to say. | can, however,
say this: The situation is absolutely un-
changed. There is nothing new about it.
The agreement stands precisely when it
was signed
The circulars of the North Atlantic and
Dominion Companies appear to have been
unfairly quoted in some quarters. since in
addition to saying that the completion of
the purchases had been Unexpectedly de-

MR.. MCGUIRE RESIGNS
NO LONGER ASSISTANT ATTOR-
NEY IN OKLAHOMA.
Has Been Nominated Republican Dele
gate to Congress-Unusua Effort
Being Made in Territories.

B. S. Mcclure. assistant attorney of the
United States at Guthrie, Okla, has sent
his resignation to the Department of JUS
tice, and his successor will soon be ap-
pointed. Mcclure has been nominated as
the republican candidate for Congress to
succeed Dennis Flynn, the present delegate
from the territory. Delegate Flynn did not
stand for denomination and will be a can
didate for the United States Senate from
Oklahoma Immediately upon the admission
OF that territory to statehood. Mr.. Flynn
has undoubted assurances from the repub-
lican leaders of both houses that the ques-
ton of statehood for the territories will be
taken up just as soon as Congress assem-
bles in December and that Oklahoma will
be admitted as a state. With this assur-
ance Mr.. Flynn, who has long been the re-
publican boss of the territory is laying
his plans to come to the Senate. He Is
devoting his time to seeing that friends are
nominated in the different counties for the
legislature and doing everything in his
power to be sure that a republican legis-
lature is elected. The democrats in the ter
ritory are on the lookout for statehood also
and are going to put up the hardest fight
they ever made for delegate in Congress
and for the legislature.
Complexion of Legislature.
The election of a republican or demo-
States senators. and the admission of Ok
lahoma to statehood will mean two three
members of the lower house of Congress-
The republican and democratic congress
sional committees are not neglecting this
most promising field, and the democratic
national committee is going to aid in the
hight Dennis Flynn and his organization
Will also get aid from the republican ma
tional committee, and the fight will be a
lively one all along the line.
The campaign in Oklahoma this fall will
be made with view to the big results to
follow the outsome of the suffrage of the
cltlzens. The practical promise Of Congress
to admit Oklahoma to statehood can not
and will not be violated, it Is said, in the
the territory. Dennis Flynn and his CO.
horts declare that the republicans will win
by big majority, as their ma ajority has in
creased every year since 1896, when Mr.
Flynn was defeated by democrat.
In Other Territories.
Much of the same ambition that animate tes
the democrats and republicans in Okla
homa is possessing the two parties in Ari-
zCna and New Mexico, where the prospects
for statehood are regarded as just as
bright as for Oklahoma. Delegate Rodey,
republican. of New Mexico, has senatorial
democrat of Arizona. Mr. Smith is not
| putting up as lively an anticipat tory cam
paign as his republican friends In the other
| territories. and is going to Europe for the
| summer. Gov Otero of New Mexico will
| be a candidate for the Senate from that
territory If 1t is admitted to statehood, and
| the outlook for Rodey and Otero as the
senatorial team is said here to be good,
New Mexico being admittedly a republican
| stronghold under ordinary conditions.

THE STORY RID1CULED.
That Vessels Could Be Detected Fifty
Miles Away by New Invention.

Officers of the Signal Corps say that the
story printed this morning to the effect
that the army had procured an instrument
by which vessels could be detected fifty
miles was "tommy-rot" and utter nom
sense One of the officers said it was
Jules Verne tale. Some years ago some such
instrument was invented which could de-
tect vessel or large steel body few hun
dred yards but no farther. 1t is said that
such an instrument, even if as reported,
would be of no use for the coming maneu-
vers, as it would not show whether the ap-
preaching vessel was a liner or warship.
