REPRESENTATIVE BURTON
VISITS THE PRESIDENT
Call Not in Connection With His Poiiti-
cal Battle With Senator Hanna
in Chic.

Representative Burton of Ohio. who
has lately been at loggerheads politi-
cally with Senator Hanna in regard to
the supervision OF the coming Congrcs-
sional and county elections in Cuyahoga
county, Ohio, which includes the city OF
Cleveland, was a caller at the temporary
White House yesterday
Mr.. Burton said his call on Mr.. Roose-
welt had no connection with his home
political fght. His partisans there are
taking care of that matter until his
return 20 Cleveland in few davs.
Though disinclined TO comment on the
matter in any way, It is understood
that the same difference Of opinion re-
gardng the best manner Of supervising
the election still exists between the
Hanna and Burton factions.
A compromise plan has been suggest
ed but has not met with universal ap-
proval. This plan, II is understood, IS
that Mr.. Burton's friends shall take
control of The campaign in his own Con-
gressionaI district. which comprises
fve-eighths Of Cuyahoga, and that the
county committee. whiah Is dominated
by Mr.. Hanna's friends shall control the
rest Of the county and the entire cam
paign for county officials
This plan is believed 10 he acccpta bic
10 Mr.. Burton personally, but he has
not yet given 1t MS approval because of
the effect Il may have upon the cam
paign OF some OF his friends interested
in the county Offices. The Congress
mans point Of being allowed TO manage
his own campaign free from factiou3I
interference would thus be won. but his
loyalty to his home friends causes him
TO delay definite answer until he can
consult them at home.

Heavier Than Expected.

NEWPORT, r. /. July 2.-The short
age Of Anthony sherman, cashier of the
Merchants Bank, as shown by the re-
port OF the bank examiners, far exceeds
the conjectures.
It amounts to $32G.O93.l9. which is not
inclusive of the cashiers personal

now held by the banks of Newport pend
ing their coming due. The amount Of
Sherman's total default and deficit Will
be fully $25OoOO.
Aside from the bank property, which
is valued at $500, scarcely 1900 worth

Sherman's stealings began many years
ago. He was virtually the whole insti-
tuition. Finding that detection OF his
shortage was imminent. he shot himself
on June - last and died on June &c.
Many summer residents of Newport
were among the losers. Among those
who lost money in the collapse OF the
institution were Mrs. H. Mortimer
Brooks and Mrs. John O'Brien, of New
York city, and Bishop Thomas NJ. Clark,
of the Rhode Island Protestant Episco-

The charter of the bank exempted the
stockholders from liability. Shermans

COMMITTEE REPORT ON
employees OF HOUSE
Officers Ask Equalized and
Increased Salaries.
Worthless Books in Document Room
Accommodating Rapidly-Employes
in Each Department.

Pursuant to the requirements of a
law passed at the close of the last
Congress, the Committee on Accounts of
the House Tuesday presented a report
upon the employment. duties. and COM
pensation of employees Of the House, the
first ever made.
The report embodies the several rec
concentrations OF the several officers of
the House, and the Superintendent OF the
Capitol, mostly confined to one-that
salaries should be equalized and gener-
ally increased.
The report says that the provisions of
the new law have been carefully Observ-
ed, and the committee is of the opinion
that the provisions referred to, while
hastily drawn at the close of the last
session OF Congress. have had a whole
some effect in abolishing questionable
practices in the division of salaries, the
unauthorized transfer OF employees, and
the employment OF substitutes. and alto
gether have increased the efficiency of
the several departments of the House.
The superintendent of the folding
room OF the House recommends that
some disposition be made of old and
worthless books and documents, which
are rapidly accumulating and which are
of no practical value. He carries 3G2
ledger accounts. comprising 800 different
old departmental reports sggregaIing
200 900 copies; 200 different worthless
aggregating $50 600 copies.
and Il agricultural reports aggregating
100 coo copies.
There are. all told, 1880. coo docu-
ments in stock and they accumulate
at the rate of $50 900 annually In the
month OF May there Were folded 1OS,-
$50 book7 and 1,173,000 copies Of
speeches.
During the summer the House docu-
ment room is to be remodeled.

CUBA'S FUTURE A
GRAVE PROBLEM

United States under the Constitution and
equal laws, including the custom laws"
Mr.. Newlands was OF the opinion that
the financial distress which now menaces
Cuba would have been ayerted by this
temporary reduction in duty, and she
would have been given plenty of time to
deliberate upon the advantages of an
neXation. He expressed himself very
forcibly as being against the employment
Of any coercion in annexing Cuba, and
that the proposition to become part OF
thAs country should come from her.
Even in this case" continued Mr..
Newi,,nds, ''au invitation from us is re-
quired. because otherwise Cuba might
fear should she make application for an
nexation she would be relegated to the
inferior position of a military dependency
or a colonial possession like the Philip
pines or Porto Rico. An invitation such
as is contained In the resolutions | have
introduced would entirely disarm her fear
and assure her that after passing through
the formative state of an organized ter
ritory she would be admitted to full
equality with the other States"
Mr.. Newlands is against this country
discriminating in its tariff in favor of
certain nations. as reciprocity means dis
crimination. and creates ultimately ieal-
ousy and distrust OF those countries less
favored in this regard.
AT the same time concluded Mr..
NewJands, "the distress of Cuba is so
acute that I think VIC could well make
an exception in her favor for one or two
years, meanwhile assuring her that we
are perfectly willing she should come in
on equality with the other States"
From Mr.. Newlands' standpoint. after
careful analysts OF the situation, he
cannot see any assured future for Cuba
unless annexation comes. and that 1t will
come is his firm belief, an opinion which
is shared by a number of the public men
who are In line with his policy toward
the newborn republic.

form.

cratic platform may contain" he said
there should be no doubt as to the at

BALTIMORE FLUH MAY
GO TO ADRIAN PgSEY
Mr.. Mudd's Candidate to.Be
Passed on Today.
Senator McComas Said to Oppose Him
for SubtreasuTer-President Ex-
pected to Make Appointment.

The beginning of the end in the Bal
timore subtreasurership fight Will be
reached today, according to a statement
made at the temporary White House
yesterday.
Representative Mudd who was one of
the Presidents early callers, was in
formed by Mr.. Roosevelt that he would
let the Congressman know today wheth-
er the latter's last suggested candidate
fer the Baltimore subtreasurership. Mr..
Adrian Posey, of Charles county. could
be appointed. This will represent the
conclusion of the inquiry which It is I'M
derstood has been in progress concern
ing the qualifications OF the various can
didates for the office.
Senator McComas Says He Is Willing.
Representative Jackson was also
among those who saw the President yes
terday morning, and shortly afterward
Senator McComas called. The latter
said he is not lighting the nomination of
Mr.. Posey. though he admitted his op-
position to Captain Belt, of Prince
George county, who was previously
urged by Mr. Mudd.
This declaration on the part of the
Senator Is contested very warmly by Mr
Mudd. At the temporary executive Of
fees yesterday the latter reiterated his
claim that Mr.. McComas is opposing Mr.
Posey's candidacy. Just as he did the
persons previously suggested In connec-
tion with the place" he said.
The Maryland Representative express
ed considerable confidence that Mr..
Poscy will secure the position, but said
that IN case the President decided other
wise, he would join in supporting any
candidate Mr. Jackson might suggest,
and that such a candidate would be
named
Mr.. Dryden May Be Named.
This statement is taken 10 mean that
If MIR. Poscy fails to secure the plum
Mr. Jackson viii indorse Mr.. Abraham L.
Dryden, whose name has been previously
mentioned in connection with the office.
though not by Mr.. Mudd. The latter
could then join in the recommendation
of his colleague more readily than he
might wish TO do In giving his indorse-
ment directly 10 a candidate previously
regarded moro as an opponent than as
n friend.
Mr.. Dryden is said to be thoroughly
to Senator McComas, and
II he wins the place, his selection Will
be claimed BY the Senator's
friends as victory for them, and
virtual defeat for Mr. Mudd.

Figuring on Finances.

Now that the heat of enthusiasm re-
sulting from the establishment Of the
republic has died away, and men are
figuring on its future in financial and
not sentimental sense. grave doubts
are expressed as to the stability of the
republic. much OF which is in conse-
quence of the precedents heretofore set
by the history of other South American
republics.
Where dissatisfaction will first occur
is from the laboring classes, it is fear
ed. They are now receiving higher
wages than they ever dreamed of in the
days of Spanish tyranny. and it is certain
that under existing conditions great
reduction in these wages will have to be
made.

Political Union

Political union " remarked Mr. New

give Cuba over $25 600, 900 more annually
for her sugar crop than she at present
receives. 1t was with this view that very
early in the session introduced my reso-
lutions regarding the annexation of Cuba.
These resolutions propose to make
reduction in the duties on Cuban prod
ucts of p per cent for one year. and l
would have had no objection to extend
ing it for two or three years They also
invite Cuba to become u part of the
