c. Fraser and E. G. Nash of Manitowak.
Mr.. Nash's resemblance to the late Presi-
dent Mckinley in the shape of his face,
nose, forehead and many other ways was
commented upon by attaches of the White
House who remember every feature OF the
late President with accuracy. The resem-
blance was striking. Were Mr.. Nash'S eyes
darker than they are the resemblance would
attract general attention. Captain Loeff1er.
who was President McKinley's doorkeeper
for more than four years and who was with
his as constantly as any man at the White
House, was deeply struck with the similar
ity In the faces of the two men. Senator
Spooner, when making a speech at Manito-
wax on one occasion, saw Mr.. Nash's face
and was instantly reminded of Mr.. Nc
Kinley.
The Cabinet in Session.
President Roosevelt and his cabinet were
in session for nearly an hour and a half
today but at the conclusion of the meet
ing it was stated that while some mat
tiers of Importance were under considera-
ton, no decisions of serious consequence
regarding them had been reached.
Both the President and the members OF
the cabinet, 1t is understood, expressed
themselves as reasonably well satisfied
with the situation in Congress as to anti
trust legislation. 1t is said they are as
sured now that practically such legisla-
ton as is desired is in a fair way OF en-
l.
the cabinets attention the necessity for
legislation regarding the currency OF the
Philippine Islands.
He presented some dispatches received
from Gov. Taft urging the enactment OF
some remedial financial legislation, and the
efforts to obtain this legislation from Con-
gress were discussed. AS viewed by the
administration, the necessity for both
financial and other remedial legislation for
the Philippines is very urgent. Indeed. if
something of the kind be not accomplished
soon there is apprehension that another re-
bellion may develop.
Of the Venezuelan question. 1t IS the be-
lief of the President and the cabinet that
Minister Bowen as Venezuela's representa-
tive, will conclude with the representatives
Of the allies satisfactory protocols in few
days. Satisfaction was expressed that the
points in controversy were to be submitted
to The Hague tribunal.
The President also took up with individ-
ual members Of the cabinet some routine
departmental matters. but it is said the
consideration developed nothing Of great
consequence.
Harry New and ex-Mayor Thomas Tag
CART of Indianapolis called on the President
yesterday to discuss with him the seizure by
the authorities Of Mexico of mine in
which they are interested. The matter is
pending before the State Department, and
probably will be the subject of some ex-
changes with the Mexican government.
