Well, "arno5 see any prospect for
tariff revision. In the first place, it is
a debatable question as to the demand
for it. The defeat of Foss in Massa-
chusetts might be taken as a pointer
that there is not. Out my way when
we talk about tariff revision to the
people we noticed one thing-that the
Republican party is willing to revise
the tariff when it is wise to do so, and
they are very enthusiastic over the
statement that when revision comes it
must be undertaken by the Republi-
can party and that party alone.
I'VE certainly could do nothing with
the tariff the coming session. When
the Dingley bill was framed it took
from the 18th Of March until July to
do it.
Il imagine We will worry along
with the appropriation bills at this ses
sion and then knock off work until
the following session"

Arrest for the Crime

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Harry c Viii.
son, chief clerk. and civil engineer in the
department of the east, U. s. A.. and
DIR. BENJAMIN F. Whitmore, of this city,
are prisoners in police headquarters
charged with extortion and attempted
blackmail OF Oscar L. Gubelman and Fl.
A. S. Martin, officers of the Water Front
Improvement Company OF jersey City.
This company is connected with the rec
lamation of land at Rikers leland in New
York harbor.
Street Cleaning Commissioner Wood
bury last June made arrangements with
the company to supply ashes and garb-
age to fill in crib work on Rlckers ISL
and. He did this to prevent the dump
ing of the refuse at sea and to keep the
beaches free from rubbish.
In order to do the work well the
United States government was tsked for
the use OF the dredge Hellgate and the
tug Humphreys. Since then two other
boats have been added to the plant by
the government.
About six months ago Mr.. Martin, OF
the Water Front Improvement Compa-
nv, reported that DIR. Whitmore declared
if the company didn't pay stipulated
sum of money to him every week the
government would remove it's plant.
Detective McConville was introduced
to DR.. Whitmore by Mr.. Martin as Mr..
Gubelman. Whitmore demanded $4,000
down and $3.50 week as condition of
the government keeping it's plant at
Rikers Island. McConyille was intro
tiuced To " rison. Wilson repeated the
story of Whitmore.
McConville met Wilson and Whitmore
at the cafe today Detectives Browne
Barnett and Crystal and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Kresel were present at a
window on the outside, where they could
gee the entire transaction.
With McConvilie was Mr.. Martin.
After some parleving over the money
Martin took $4,000 in bills from his
pocket. He handeA Whitmore $2,250
and to Wilson $2,25O Wilson cou ted
the money and put it in his pocket.
Whitmere counted the monev and hand
ed it to Wilson. who placed it with the
other money in his pocket. Then Nc
Convi!le whistled, and the other officers
entered and placed the men under ar
rest.
They were greatly surprised, but re-
fused to make statemeQt. Both will
be arraigned in the Tombs court tomor-
row.

the apostle of a queer sort Of religion,
half Indian tradition and half Biblical
lore. He goes from one tribe of In

manifest wrongs and contrasting their
conditions with those of their ances-
tors ere the white man drove them
from their hunting grounds.
1t requires very little of this sort
OF talk to make an Indian dissatisfied
and the agitator always has large fol
lowing among any of the tribes he
visits. While he himself is ,Nez
Perce, he is a sort of a red cosmo-
politan, for he has fraternized with
every tribe outside of the Indian Ter
ritory. He tried to invade the circle
of the five civilized tribes, but there

Indians, and the prophet who foretold

Has Not Tempted Him So Far, HC-

Not Seek the Pdrtu NOnind.
tiOn for that Office.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-There is
apparently no longer any question of
Senator M. A. Hanna's intention to re-
tire from public life at the close of his
present term in the United States 81 -
ate. 1t is stated today on the authori-
ty of a man who has the closest per-
sonal political relations with THE Ohio
senator that Mr.. Hanna viii not be a
candidate for reelection TO the senate;
will not, under any combination Of
conditions, be candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for the preset
dency in 1904 and will not, if he can
possibly avoid it, continue as chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee after the meeting of the Re
publican national convention in 1904.
Ever since the death of President
Mckinley political gossip has been
busy with Senator Hanna's name in
connection with the Republican presi-
Dental nomination. Mr.. Hanna re-
fused to encourage this movement in
his Interest, although he never made
any public declaration on the subject.
1t was difficult to make the country be-
lieve that he was not planning to Sc
cure the nomination in 1904, and there
was great speculation as to how far
he would go in using the organization
OF the party of which he was the head
in furthering his own candidacy. Ii is
20 secret that certain Republican ele-
mtmts were and have at all times been
favorable to Mr. Hanna's candidacy,
and that they have been at least until
quite recently. persistently working to
secure the defeat of Mr. Roosevelt and
tn nomination of Senator Hanna.
Within the last week Senator Han
ma has made the emphatic statement
to one of his confidential personal and
political friends that he will not be a.
candidate for the presid ntial nomina-
ton in 1904. He stated that he valued
his life and health more than he did
any political preferment. He said that
the two national campaigns he had
managed as chairman of the national
committee had done more to break
down his health than had twenty
years of an active business life. Sena-
tor Hanna told of his experiences in
the campaign just closed in which he
was compelled on several, occasions
accept help in leaving the platform at
the close of an address. He said that
he was so constituted that he could
not take compfacent party in the
campaign, but gave up all his time to
it, became nervous, lost sleep and kept
in the fight until he collapsed. The
senator stated in positive terms that
he could not and would not allow his
nanA to be used as a candidate for
the Republican presidential nomina-
ton in 1904, nor would he seek re-
election.

DENVER, Nov. M-Ambitions of an
Indian known throughout the North
west as the Red Christ" are respon-
sible for the discomfort and reckless
ness of the Utes this year. The indi-
vidual, who aspires to be another Te-
eumseh, has stirred the red skins up
until they are in an ugly mood, and it
likely that troops will have to be call
ed out, before the year ends, to sup
press the savages.
Deputy Game Warden Fl. Gl Wheel
er, Of Steamboat Springs, called on
Game Warden Harris yesterday to ex-
plain why it was the Indians are more
desperate than they have been for
years Heretofore they have been kill
ing game, but they committed no 9TH
er depredations. This year, however,
one of their very first acts was an at
tempt to assassinate Game Warden
Harris whom they believed to be Will
cox, a former game warden, who is
said to have killed four Indians.
Deputy Game Warden Wheeler, who
has travelled all over the western part
of the state and eastern Utah, Is con-
fident that the shooting of Harris was
prompted by the red prophet, who is
now at the Uintah reservation in Utah

half Of his foot taken off by the wheels
of a freight car, Frederick Provost
walked two miles this morning to the
receiving hospital, where his wound
was dressed and where he now lies.
His walking with the injured foot is
considered miraculous by the hospital
authorities.
Provost came in on an early morn
ing train from Portland. Ore, and at
the Sixteenth street depot attempted
to alight from the train, upon which
he was beating his way. He slipped
and his foot went beneath the wheels
and was horribly mangledL Almost
half the foot was taken off, but Pro-
vost arose. refused the assistance Of

of almost two miles. He was almost

MdU Lapse in March

WASHINGTON, Nov 17.-Compli-
cations in the Panama canal negotia-
tions are of such frequent occurrence
that they do not occasion surprise any
more, when brought to public atten-
tion Senator Harris of Kansas, a
member of the Senate committee on
interoceanic canals, is responsible for
the latest suggestion that may cause
trouble IL pending negotiations are
much longer delayed. He expressed
the opinion today If President Roose-
welt does not expend any of the $40,-
100000 appropriated at the last session
of congress for the purpose of acquir-
ing the property of the Panama canal
company before March next, the
date of the expiration Of the Fifty
seventh congress, the entire appro-
priation will lapse, new law will
have to be enacted and a new appro-
priation made If the negotiations are
to be carried on after that time.
Mr.. Harris declared that it was a
well-known fact that all approprla-
tions made by Congress. If not used
in part or in full. lapsed with the ex-
piration of that Congress.
In discussing the likelihood that a
payment of some portion of the $40,-
100000 would be made before the 4th
of next March, the senator called at
tention to. the fact that before the
property could be acquired a treaty
would have to be ratified by the senate
of the United States and by the legls-
lative body of the Columbian govern
ment. The Columbian government
has had no executive body for three
years, and is now In a state OF revo,

The mother, Mrs. r. Strader. Of
West Utica, is native of Scotland.
She started with her husband last
night to walk to the city hospital, but
long before they reached that insti-
tuition the child was born.
In spite of the rain the woman was
forced to make bed of the cold, wet
sidewalk. The circumstances were pc
culiarly distressing. Mr. Strader was
unable to leave his wife to summon a
physician, and had to wait Is minutes
before any one passed. Finally DR..
Gormann was summoned and quickly
arrived on the scene. Mother and
child were then hurried to the hospital
in an ambulance. The child is as
healthy and vigorous as though her

REPUBLICAN, LEADERS, SOLID
Th6u VIII Make no Effort to Revise Tariff
or Knock Trusts

WASHINGTON Nov. 1S-Facts are
accumulating to bear out the asser-
tion that the next session of Congress
would avoid all legislation on trusts
and tariff, but would make a bluff at
the ship subsidy bin.
The logical consequence of the atti-
tude of the Republican leaders in Con-
gress in opposition tc these reforms is
that the President viii have to call
the Fifty-eighth Congress into extra
session if he wants to make political
record for 1904. The President would
have only to have IA Republican
friends to get all the reform he want
ed with the aid of 173 Democrats in
the F'ifty-eighth Congress.
So far Overstreet, Dalzell, Foraker
and other leaders have declared
against tariff revision. General Gros-
venor. one Of the ablest of the house
leaders, said today:

luton. 1t would seem. therefore, al
most an impossibility for Il Presi-
dent to have treaty negotiated and
ratified by the two governments in
the short time now remaining before
the expiration Of the present congress.
While not desiring to be placed in
positive position on the subject, the
senator expressed the belief that to
have any of the $40.000,0O0 used fc
ty of the title, for instance, such as
paying the expenses of the attorney
general to Paris, would not validate
the appropriation, which he believes
can be drawn on only in accordance
with the terms of the act making the
appropriation-for the purchase Of the
property, and beginning the construc-
tion of the canal.
Whether or not the administration
will take the same view of the avail
ability of the appropriation after the
expiration of the present congress is
question which officials decline to
answer in a positive way. Attorney
General Knox considers 1t a question
which it would not be proper for him
:, to answer Comptroller Tracewell of
the treasury :4pliei, when asked re-
garding the same point: II can give
you the rule, but can not apply it,
for the reason that it is a matter up
on which may be called upon to pass.
The rule Is that annual or continuing
appropriations must be proper con-
tract made for their expenditure, or
they lapse with the congress which
made them. This rule does not apply
to an appropriation which is not con-
tinuing or annual one"
