QUIETLY BUT SURELY.
The Real Choice of Many
Constituencies.
He PRESERVES SILENCE

Scores OF booms have faded and
withered. but that OF Senator Arthur
Pue German, of Maryland. continues to
grow. quietly. slowly. and surely. A
number OF the Representatives who are
in Washington, all from widely separ-
ated parts of the country. express
opinions to the effect that unless some
thing should develop in the coming ses-
sion of Congress to interfere, Senator
German is to be the nominee Of the
party
These legislators announce positively
that in their States. while some gossip
was going the rounds in behalf OF IA
vorite sons. the Maryland Senator was
the real choice OF their constituents.

can have the nomination should he want

In fact, the movement in favor Of the
Senator has gone so far the leaders arc

from him as to his intentions. Senator

ANNUAL FALL OPENING
AN ALLURING DISPLAY
5. Kann, Sons & Co. Excel Pre-
viouS Efforts.

The annual fall opening at the stores
Of S. Kann. Sons & Co. took place to-
day. and to the regular line of shoppers
noted daily at the stores a legion Of
other visitors were attracted by the
display. From the hour of the beginning
of sales this morning a steady stream OF
visitors poured through the departments
and admired the fine display of goods
provided for the new season.
The firm is now in its tenth season in
Washington and since the time Il es-
tablished itself in a group of little
stores on Market Space until today it's
advancement in popular favor has been
noteds The Kann stores are among the
best known and equipped houses in
Washington, and are the mecca for
shoppers throughout the year
In arranging the opening for this sea-
son care has been taken to present an
array OF new styles in every department.
Everything is new, everything attractive
and selected with a view to giving the
Washington shopping public an idea of
what leading stores in other cities are
presenting to their patrons
Each floor in the big store has seemed
to receive the special attention OF a
corps of designers. Not only are the
goods Of the latest and most attractive
to be purchased, but their arrangement
is such as to show them in the most ad-
vantageous light.
Improvements in the interior of the
building have placed IT on a par with
anything OF it's kind in Washington or
any other city
One of the most pleasing features of
the opening days, and one which will
continue throughout the season. is the
reasonable figure at which all the goods
are offered for sale.
In no other department store In Wash
ington can more suitable terms for pur-
chases be obtained. and this, with many
other features of the business, has done
much toward establishing the firm per-
manently in favor in Washington.
When S. Kann. Sons & Co. came ic
Washington ten years ago il was an IN
known Arm, but by dint OF much energy
toward the accommodation of its patrons
and buying and selling reputable goods
at reasonable prices, they have found
| universal favor here, and established
| themselves in one Of the most attractive
department homes at the Capital
Interest was lent the opening today

TO A REWARD
AND NOT THE LOST DOG
Commissioners Receive a Queer
Police Endorsement.

The Commissioners are much per-
turbed this morning over an indorse-
ment received from the Police Depart
ment Although the Endorsement en-
anated from Major Sylvester's Office. the
Commissioners are not disposed to hold
him responsible for the furry of ex-
eitement which followed it's receipt. The
recommendation reads:
That Private j. G. Dunn be allowed
to receive s. sent to these headquarters
for the recovery of a dog belonging TO
the donor less 20 per cent TO be de-
posted to the credit of the clothing
and helmet fund"
1t was at first thought necessary to
dismember the dog. but after consider
able discussion it was decided that Ma
jor Sylvester was referring to the 81
and not to the lost animal

MANY ACRES OF PAINT
ON OCEAN STEAMSHIPS
Pierpont Morgan Astonished at the
Quantity Used.

LONDON. Oct Sit is said that
when Pierpont Morgan went through
the accounts of the International Mer-
camille Marine Company recently with
his auditors he was astonished at the
amount OF paint used upon the vessels
in the great shipping combination.
which controls 140 steamers.
Assuming that the average area of
each ship is two and a quarter acres,
and that each vessel is painted, say, ten
times in one season. and that 120 ships
are continually in commission. we have
an area to be covered with paint OF
1850 acres every year.
Such a Job, requiring the services OF
nearly hundred men working steadily
would cost about S250.000. Although this
seems an immense sum to. spend upon
paint alone, II is essential to keep the
vessels in spick-and-span condition.

SEED INVESTIGATION
AS POLITICAL CAPITAL
Both Parties Anxious to
Take Initiative.

The Department of Justice is making
preparations to close the taking of tes-
timony in the case Of the Government
against the New York Market Gard
eners' Association, of which Arthur c.
Nellis is manager, and which has been
the cause of many disclosures con
corning the laXity of certain business
methods in the Department of Agri-
culture According to the testimony
already in, the Government inspectors
failed to report shortages in weight and
many other abuses, such as the substi
tuition of cheap seeds for costly varie-
ties. and the use of poor paper for the
quality that had been used in which. to
pack the seeds.
New testimony is to be taken in the
case Monday at Boston. a special at
torney of the Department of Justice
having been ordered to go there and ex-
anime witnesses. The attorney has just
returned from Philadelphia. where he
took the dispositions of several promi-
nent seed men, and obtained more of
the seed packages sent out by Nellis. all
of which are short IN weight
Several of the Democratic Representa-
tives who are in the city, and whose
constituents suffered as a result Of the
distribution, have announced they in
tend to bring the matter before Con-
gress for a thorough investigation of
the methods of buying and distributing
the seeds sent out.
The department may come under the
demand for a general investigation
which is to be made at the coming ses-
sion. The Democrats have almost en-
tIrely determined to try and bring about
an investigation.
This session it is not to be case of
an isolated Representative introducing
a resolution which will be allowed to die
a quiet death in a committee. as did the
resolution introduced by Representative
Fitzgerald for an Investigation OF seed
matters at the last session. The whole
force of the Democrats is to be behind
/ the proposition this time.
1t is known that President Roosevelt
J is very much in favor OF doing some in
vestigating himself, he having remarked
to a friend not long ago that he liked
/ the way Clarence Lexow probed into the
abuses under the Tammany rule in New
York, and that such a committee might
/ do some good in Washington II this is
really the case, the Republicans may
fS=estall the Democrats and rob them OF
| their intention to make political capital
out of the investigation by beginning II
themselves.

SARGENT ALARMED BY
IMMIGRATION FIGURES
Aroused by Increased Arrival Of lg-
norant Foreigners.

Commissioner General Sargent, of the
Bureau of immigration. purposes to ask
the next Congress to amend the immi-
grafton law so that IT will keep out the
undesirable class of ignorant foreigners,
who he says without hesitation. are "a
constant menace to our country and our
institutions.
If this class of immigration continues
to increase at the present rate the rec
ord-breaking figures of last year viii
be surpassed The increase for July
and August over the corresponding
months of last year was almost 40 per
cent. 1t is said the figures for Septem-
Der. which are now being received. will
show a proportionate gain
If no check is applied by Congress
and the present increases continue. the
total immigration for this year will go
far beyond the million mark.

REPORT ON COAL LANDS
IN INDIAN TERRITORY
Mine Inspector Tells of In
creased Output.
COKE OVENS OPENED UP
Labor Troubles Avoided by Granting
of Demands-Better Oil Wanted
by Workers.

William Cameron, mine inspector for
the Indian Territory. has submitted his
report TO the Secretary of the Interior
for the year ended June 80. The output
of coal for the year was 500 900 tons
greater than in the preceding year and
the total number of openings was 40.
The Fort Smith and Western Railroad s
advent into the Territory has opened a
new coal vein and the prospects for the
growth of the industry are bright on
all sides. The average price OF coal in
the Territory has been s1.7O and the
output was valued at S5.371 JAG. an in
crease Of S21S. 4sS for the year.
There are in the Territory $50 coke
ovens, which produced 52,625 tons of
coke, of an estimated value of $21S. 49S.
The total number of men and boys in
the mines was 6.091. a decrease of 1f9
from the year before. Increased pro-
duction with this decrease Of labor Is
attributed to the presence of a larger
proportion Of experienced miners and a
more liberal supply of cars to handle
the coal. There is still complaint. how
ever, that the railroad companies do not
supply sufficient cars to take care OF
the coal as fast as mined.
In the course OF the year there were
no labor troubles OF special Importance
The operators granted the demands OF
the men for an eight-hour day, with
semi-monthly payments, and an increase
in pay from 60 to 60 cents A demand
for the check-off system was not con-
sidered, and the miners did not insist
upon that point.
The inspector recommends that th'
laws in existence In the mining States
regulating the safety of miners in the
mines be passed for the Territory anC
that men placed in positions such as phi
boss or fire boss be compelled to show
they are qualified for the work before
they receive appointment. The tota
number of accidents In the course o.
the year was 116, of which 80 were fatal
The inspector claims that in almost
every instance the oil supplied to Tho
miners is Of an inferior and noxious
quality. and that the companies have
neglected 10 heed his warnings on thai
subject. He suggests some steps b.
taken to compel the companies to pro
vide better oil.

MESSAGES TO CONGRESS
EXCITE SPECULATION
Interest in the Presidents
Recommendations.
TO TREAT SCANDALS FREELY
Executive Will Advocate Greater Navy,
Let Down on Tariff Adjustment,
and Urge Currency Reform.

The recommendations of President
Roosevelt in the two messages which he
will send to Congress this year are the
subject of endless speculation just now.
The President is occupying all his spare
time writing these documents.
The message to the extra session is ex-
pected to deal with little but Cuban
reciprocity, and the December message
to>cover the usual variety of topics.
Three Important Subjects.
1t is expected the subject of mal-ad-
ministrat!on will be treated as frankly
as the scandals in various departments
warrant.
A greater navy will be advocated.
Should nothing occur to lead the Presi-
den to act on the canal question before
Congress meets. his discussion of that
subject will be OF prime Importance.
Tariff and Currency.
The understanding is that the tariff
question will not be treated in as posi-
tive a manner as in his last paper. At
that time he rather freely discussed the
REIMBURSEMENT" of tariff schedules. He
then advocated reciprocity treaties as
one method of readjustment. and said
that when changes could not be made
this way. then they can be made out
right by the lowering of duties on a
given product"
Reform in the currency system to
meet the needs of business will again be
recommended. The President will prob
ably suggest legislation by Congress to
furnish the country with a currency
that will admit of adjustment to all
conditions. He has conferred during
the summer with the leading men of his
party on this subject

cision refers wholly to the unconstitu-
tionality of section 3S4-H.
