ROOSEVELT CALLS
IT A BOTCH JOB
SHARPLY CRITICISES THE CHAN
GEES AND ADDITIONS TO WHITE
HOUSE-THEIR FAULTS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-President
Roosevelt has expressed himself vigor-
Ously regarding the shortcomings of
both the White House improvements
and the new executive offices building.
The executive building alone cost $685.,
900. 1t comprises six rooms on one floor
and a basement. 1t is squat, cheap
looking and plain. The interior is bare
and rude in appearance. Painted pine
mantels, dreary wall spaces and gener-
al up-and-down squareness character
greatest architects in the country were
consulted in order that this building
should harmonic with it's environ
ments AS a result it gives the impress
sion of a rudely aggressive brick sham
ty.
When the architects had completed
their work it was ascertained that no
vault for coal had been provided and
yesterday work was started to add this
necessary appurtenance. Now 1t is
found by the furnacemen that no prov
ision has been made for the disposal Of
ashes. There is neither a vault nor
any convenient means Of depOsiting the
ashes so that the scaVengers can reach
them. They must be dragged through
the house and dumped into an ashcart
without the slightest assistance from
modern methods. That this unorna-
mental box building should have cost
$65, 900 is a marvel to Washington.

HOW NECKAR
ISLAND WAS LOST
BRITISH ADMIRALTY'S SECRET
DISCLOSED TO DOLE IN COURSE
OF A CONVIVIAL EVENING.

OTTAWA oct 1S.-Much interest is
manifested il the expected announce
ment by Sir Wilfrid Laurier regarding
the attitude of the Government IN per-
hitting the United States to lay a ca
bic from Honolulu to connect with the
all-British Pacific cable at Tanning
Island. A report has been received
from Honolulu that this permission has
already been granted, but it is not
credited in Government circles here.
Sir Wiifrid Laurier has just returned
from England, where, it is believed, ar
rangements were completed.
Those in authority say that such
concession to the United States would
threaten to a certain extent the indie
pendence of the all-British cable prof.
ect, and could serve no other purpose
than to enable the United States COM
pany to compete, perhaps unfairly
with the state-owned cable between
Canada and Australia.
When, in 1895, Sir Sanford Fleming,
of Ottawa, was in England promoting
the Pacific cable project, he urged up
on the imperial authorities the neces-
sity of securing undisputed possession
of Neckar Island, near the Sandwich
group, as a convenient landing-place
for the cable, being only about 2,4OO
nautical miles from Vancouver. The
British Government promised to act,
but the Admiralty would not be hur-
ried in the matter of sending a man
of-war to Neckar to hoist the flag on
the island. The utmost secrecy had 10
be maintained. After some delay the
vessel sailed for Neckar Island, but on
ly to find on arriving that the Hawaii
an flag was already flying over that
territory. The mission had failed ana
only by a few hours.
1t was long a mystery how the Brit
ish plans were foiled, but it is mys-
terry no longer About the time the
British commissioner left Ottawa to do
| the hag-hOisting a certain Australian
Cabinet Minister visited Ottawa on his
way home. The secret of the territory
grabbing expedition was whispered in
| his ear with every confidence in his
discretion. But upor his arrival in Ho-
nolulu he called on President Dole, and
! in the course of a cornwall evening let
out the secret. Next day a steamer
sailed with the Hawaiian flag on board
| for NeCkar Island.
Neckar Island lost to Great Britain,
there was nothing to do but have the
cable carried on to the next red spot
on the route, which was Tanning Isl
mad, 1851 nautical miles from Vancou-
yer, making the longest stretch of ca
BILE in the world.

BOSS SHEPHERDS ESTATE.

CHIHUAHUA, Mexico, oct. eat is
announced that the estate of the late
Alexander r. Shepperd, better known
as Boss" Shepperd, far exceeds the
estimate of $6,000,O00 in value as ORR
ginally made. 1t will amount to more
than Sl0,00O,00O, and consists almost eX-
clusively of rich mines in the Batopilas
district in a remote section of this State
1t is also announced that the Batopilas
Silver mining Company, of which Shep-
perd was manager, will continue to
operate the mines and that SHEPHERDS
place will be filled by one of his sons,
has grown up in that mining camp.
The value of Shepherds mines has
been greatly increased since his death
by fabulously rich strike of ore that
has been made in his Texas San Santos
mine. This mine yielded $l25,0O0 in
silver bullion during the month of Sep
TENDER, and the yield of bullion for this
month viii leXceed 5000, 900 in value.

OJEDA PRESENTS
HIS CREDENTIALS
THE NEW MINISTER OF SPAIN
MAKES AN OFFICIAL CALL ON
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

WASHINGTON, October 23.-Senor
Don Emelno de Ojeda the recently APP
pointed Minister of Spain to the United
States, formally presented his creden-
tails to President Roosevelt today.
Minister Ojeda was received at the
White House by Secretary of State Hay
who conducted him directly to the Pres
ident. After the usual exchange of fell
citous addresses the President and
Senior Ojeda chatted pleasantly for
Sew minutes Ojeda in his address, said
that the principal object of the Spanish
government was to cultivate those
movements of trade and commerce be-
tween the two countries which would
create mutual solidity of interests and
constitute the foundatio of the most
amicable relations between the two
nations.
President Roosevelt's reply was in
part as follows:
Mr.. Minister, recalling the warm
friendship which, from the earliest days
of our national life, existed between
the United States and Spain it gives
me sincere qualification to welcome you
as the Envoy of his Majesty the King
of Spain, and to accept the royal letter
you bear accrediting you in that capa-
city.
| offer you cordial cooperation in all
that may tend to realize our common
desire for lasting amity and increasing
ly advantageous intercourse between
this republic and the Castilian nation.
| trust, Mr.. Minister that like your
predecessor you will win regard and
esteem among us and receive in your
own person constant evidences of the
sentiment of friendship that our peo-
pie feel toward your people.

WHY THE BICYCLE
TRUST BUST"
SAVED THE EXPENSES OF AID
VERTIsING BUT GOT OUT OF
COMMUNICATION WITH PUBLIC

Lesle's Weekly attributes the failure
of the American Bicycle Company to
the belief on the part of its managers
that the combination of the several
companies under one management rem
dered the combination Independent of
the public. Before the combination, the
several companies were liberal adver-
tiseTs, but when the combination was
formed, there beiHS no competition in
production, a saving was effected by
the elimination of advertising eXpens-
es. The managers did not realize that
the withdrawal of the former COmmu
ncation with the public would cause d
decrease in the demand for bicycles.
They had made competition impossible,
but they could not provide against the
waning of public interest in the sport
that competition had created.
The bicycle combination has had an
existence of about three years. When
the organization was effected the pros
pectus promised a dividend in common
stock of 20 per cent. 1t has never paid
a dividend and it's default in interest
on bonds threw it into the hands of a
receiver. 1t is probable that the COM
binatiOn was effected at the culmina-
ton of the public interest in that class
of sport. This public interest had been
greatly stimulated by the rivalry of
leading companies, and the public, no
longer appealed to, let it's attention
wander to other forms of diversion.

TARIFF SITUATION
FOR AUSTRALIA

English business men having trade
or political relations with Australia
must not be surprised if news of
a big continental and commercial crisis
in the commonwealth reaches them.
1t may be that the spirit of comprom-
Use, one of the least noble but the most
useful of British virtues, may reign,
and a conflict between the two houses
Of the federal parliament in connection
with the tariff will be avoided. All
sane Australia trusts that such may be
the case. At the present moment, how
ever the conflict looks inevitable. The
senate ever jealous Of its power, has
disregarded the advice given it by the
commercial community, and instead OK
