from Washington TO Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2S.-Mayor John
Weaver and Israel W. Durham, boss Of the
Republican machine and Quay's right hand

parting came to-day, when Durham defed
the Mayor and announced that John David
son would be turned down for the Tax
Receivership denomination, and that he
was for Senator Berkelbach. machine
man, for the place. The Mayor, in reply,
declared he was for Davidson and opposed
to Berkelbaoh.
How far the break will 60 is not known.
Mayor Weaver has more than three years
to serve and with the great powers conferred
by the Bullitt bill controls 8 900 oficeholders,
to say nothing of the pressure he could
bring on gas, lighting and railway corpora
tions and the big contractors. Durham is
a masterful political general with COM
pact organization behind him.
There are great possibilities in the strained
situation If 1t is to be war to the knife
the political map Of Pennsylvania may be
changed. Durham's security lies in the
fact that the Mayor is personally unpopular
with the rank and file of the party and is
unversed in the devious ways of machine
politics, He may not know how to use his
power, while Durham knows every card in
the political deck, is bold to the limit and
is surrounded by men Of the same type.

this. but the machine has it all arranged

Generals Promotion In the Senate.

WASHINGTON. Nov 23.The attitude
OF the Senate Committee n Military Affairs
In restricting witnesses to the strictest
rules Of evidence and ruling out much mat
ter bearing directly upon Gen. Leonard
Woods nomination for promotion has
convinced Senator Hanna and other friends
of Major f. G. Rathbone that majority
OF the committee has already reached de-
termination to whtewash Gen. Wood.
Questions propounded by Gen. Wood s
friends on the committee show conclusively
that they have prejudged the case and do
not intend to permit any person to make a
case against Gen. Wood
Mr.. Hanna will accordingly bring the
matter up in the Senate, and bitter fight
against Gen. Woods confirmation is sure
to result unless Woods innocence OF the
charges brought against him by Major
Rathbone is conclusively shown.
1t is probable that Mr.. Hanna will de-
mand the appointment Of a special COM
mittee 20 go to Cuba and investigate on the
ground the charges filed by Major Rath-
bone, which the Committee on Military
Affairs refuses to investigate.
The committee has declined to subpoena
certain witnesses against Gen. Wood, among
them being Alexis f. Frye, former Super
intendent of Public Instruction in Cuba.
E. P. Thompson of Indianapolis, the first
postmaster at Havana under American
rule, is another witness desired by Major
Rathbone, but the committee has not yet
subpcenaed him.

its hearing on the charges against Gen.
Wood. the first witness being Capt. w. j..
Barden, Corps Of Engineers. Capt. Barden
had charge of the engineering accounts

tary Governor OF Cuba and was called to
refute allegations that Gen. Woods rela-
tives had received valuable concessions
