NEW STATION FOR OYSTER BAY
Important Improvement at Presi-
dents Home.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-The Long Island
Railroad Company will tomorrow begin
remodeling the depot at Oyster Bay. and
when President Roosevelt makes his next
visit he will scarcely recognize the sta
ton.
Since he became the nations Chief
Executive the town has grown wonder
fully in self importance. He and his
townsmen, it is said, were ashamed of the
old depot when great men from all over
the country came to call on the President,
and SO the company decided to improve
things.
The sum of $4,000 has been set aside
to make changes and improvements in
side and out When these are completed
il is believed the new station will be one
of the handsomest on the road Snd up to
date in every respect. The platforms and
approaches are to be of cement and the
surrounding grounds will be laid out with
ali the artistic skill that landscape gar
deners can command.
There has been some talk of selecting
a more picturesque and romantic name
for the town than Oyster Bay. but ma
jority of the residents, President Roose-
welt included, are said to object to a
change. Some of the Presidents most ar
dent admirers would like to have the town
named after him.

Growth of n Coast City.

When l left Los Angeles few days
ago there were 1871 houses in course OF
| construction" said Mr.. NJ. II. Workman
| treasurer of that fourishing California
city. at the Raleigh.
Our growth is really remarkable. but
it is healthy and is far removed from
boom. Several factors contribute TO
the towns rapid and continuous develop
ment. Our climate is constantly attract
ing permanent residents of the highest
class. The very cream of the Eastern
people comes for the purpose of making
their homes with us The shipment of
5000 train loads of fruit per annum is
also CT great benefit.
The completion of Senator Clark S
railroad from Salt Lake City to Les An
geles. an enterprise long delayed by the
hostility of the late C. p. Huntington, is
looked upon as assuring the city's des-
tiny. The work OF construction is being
pushed vigorously and when done will
give a competing line to the East by the
shortest route.
"a system of suburban electric roads
radiating from Los Angeles 20 points
twenty to sixty miles distan. Is being
established through the enterprise OF
Mr.. H Z. Huntington. Last but not least
are the oil wells which are right ut aur
doors and which, by affording cheap fuel,
will bring US all kinds of manufacturing
plants"

THE WASHINGTON TIMES.
FRANK A. MUNSEY

as Richard Croker has, whether he
can hold the various clements of the
organization as taut as in n hand of
steel. whether he can exercise the re-
markable versatility in handling men,
essential to the continued existence
of a political machine nearly perfect
from the machine standpoint, are
questions that the future alone can
answer.
Mr.. Croker's farewell speech, when
he declined the leadership, WAS a
ukase. VIII all respect it when the
sea has separated the boss from the
habitat of his power? VIII the cha
grin of Tom. the ambition of Dick,
and the resentment of Harry form an
offensive alliance as the root of a
faction that shall read declaration
of Independence and aspiration?
Mr.. Croker does not think SO. For
years he has been in the habit of re-
ceiving the obedience expected by Il
ear. The idea of revolt is not in his
mental vocabulary. But there is an
undercurrent of dissatisfaction in the
wigwam which may bring about trea-
son, stratagems, and desperate strug-
gle for what there is left of the eel
ebrated metropolitan tiger.

SHAKESPEARE CLUB.
First Meeting of the Year Held Sat-
urday Night.

The original Shakespeare Club, organ
lied in 1867. held its first meeting of the
new year at the home of Dr. and Mrs
Thomas j. Jones, 3105 N Street north
west, Saturday evening. An enjoyable
time was had.
The entertainment was informal and
social. as this was preparatory to the
sessions work of planning to maintai in
the oldtime interest that for over a
third of a century has enabled the club to
present at its public meetings renderings
from Shakespeare's plays that have been
among the most attractive features of
Washington literary life
Lovers of Shakespeare have maintained
the clubs excellence by careful study.
with such amateur presentations of
Shakespearean scenes as are not often
realized off the mimic stage.
After attending to the evenings pro-
gramme, careful attention was given to
the course to be pursued. The conclusion
was reached that it may be desirable to
enlarge the scope of the clubs efforts bv
introducing various literary features to
call out Individual genius by attempts in
literary fields as members may select
topics.
The end of this plan is to increase the
interest by developing the various talent
members possess. The desire is to keep
abreast of the times and cultivate indi-
vidual ability, as we'll as give careful
study to the immortal work of Shake

and his bride. who are to return TO the
salubrious atmosphere of the National
Capital today, Washingtonians and
the gentlemen in Congress Will eX-
tend felicitous wishes for all the
sweets and happiness that Hymen
distributes to her devotees.
AS an orator, wit, statesman and
a typical American, Senator Depew
has won the esteem of his country
men and the warm friendship of his
colleagues. When he walked to the
altar in foreign land. the eyes of
his national kinsmenwere turned that
way. When he debarked and once
more stepped firmly upon his native
soil, he received hearty welcome, in
which Mrs. Depew had a large share.
The Senate will now have the elo-
quence of new benedict-the elo-
quence of one who has won his or
ange blossoms as well as his laurels.

The Anglo German Feud,

To the disinterested spectator the
Anglo-German situation is ridicu-
lously funny. 1t may be likened
to debate between an infuriated
Englishman who doesn't understand
German and an enraged German who
can't speak English.
Teutonic twisting of the lions cau-
dal appendage has had an effect
which neither Rosebery nor kipling
succeeded in producing. 1t has made
the animal roar until his music sounds
| like the Wagnerian overture of hun
CRY zoo.
The British people resent what has
been said by German officials and the
German press about the English
army. the South African campaign,
and the general moral character of
| the kaiser's uncie's subjects and Of
ficials. Since blood is thicker than
water, there is suppressed popular
sympathy for the under dog in South
Africa, which is doubtless the provo
cative cause of German criticism and
allegation.
| The cable comments on the strained
relations as having almost reached
| the proportions of national feud."
| The Thole matter is handled as seri-
| ously as a cpisis. There is almost a
smell of smokeless powder il. Inc air.
| Duh rumblings, cultural on the one
| side and somewhat nasal on the
other. disturb the neither European
atmosphere.
No doubt 1T will be a war between
| the Germans and John Bull; but no
! one need become frightened, for it
| will be war of words, seldom, pro-
| ductive of large casualty lists. And
in six weeks it will have ended with
the echoes of a few reverberations in
the distance like a disappearing thun-
derstorm

Prince Henry's Visit.

The courteous exchange of mes

can people. We desire to be on good
terms with all the world. The an
nouncement that The kaiser's broth

which Miss Alice Roosevelt is to
christen. viii reduce the Venezuelan
question to a very small interroga-
ton point indeed.
That Prince Henry will be enter
tanned in manner befitting his rank
is a foregone conclusion. The Presi-
dent has already given assurances to
the Kaiser on that point. But. with
customary hospitality, the American
people will be ready to play the host
wherever the royal visitor may ap-
pear. to show that this country is
equal to any occasion, commercial or
otherwise.
This invasion of German goodwill
is especially gratifying. and, though
we expect that the -entangliRg for
eign alliances orator is printing him
self for an unusual effort befitting
the event of the princes coming. we
doubt that he will either attract
large crowds or get much of a hear
ing.

COSTLY RUSSIAN SUGAR QUARREL.
Our Goods Barred and Trade Worth
Millions Is Shining Away.

NEW YORK. JAN 12-"The United
States is not only losing all of its trade.
but it is getting in ill-repute throughout
Russia, because OF the duty imposed on
a little Russian sugar sent to this coun-
try. 1t is marvel to ne that the Amer
leans do not understand this and do some
thing to retain the Russian trade said r.
ID. Rogers, of Vladivostok, at the Mari
borough Hotel
he Is an American by birth, but he has
lived in Russia many years, and is now
one OF the owners of the Russia Chinese
Bank at Vladivostok, Siberia
In retaliation for the duty put on Rus
sian sugar." continued Mr.. Rogers. the
Russians placed an additional tax of so
per cent upon all American goods. For in
stance, what the Germans pay 80 cents on,
the Americans Fay 20 cents. This bars
out all American goods from all Russia. l
don't know if it is correct. but I have seen
the statement in Russian papers that the
business from the United States amounted
to S3GOOoo,O0O annually. This vast busi-
ness then is rapidly slipping away from
the United States.i
The Germans and English have been
quick to take advantage cf this, and by
talking have created a feeling against
American goods. The Russians are begin
ming to believe that anything from the
United States is not as good as the same
thing from Germany or England. This
feeling is growing rapidly throughout
Russia.
'The United States furnished most OF
the supplies for the Russian Chinese Rail-
road, but this has practically stopped. The
Americans are also losing in machinery of
all kinds. agricultural implements, pre-
serves. and goods of all classes. The loss,
it seems to me, can be repaired and the
Americans can gain some of their old
supremeness by working for it along the
right lines.
There is one American house in Vladi-
vostok. that of Clarkson & Co. 1t does
big business. Mr.. Clarkson. by the way,
is the only foreigner in Russia owning
property in his own name. This comes by
