started with a lead Of three points to
two for the Americans, scored in the
four ball matches yesterday afternoon.
The first pair to start today was H.
w. Beveridge of Oxford and Bruce
Smith Of Yale. G. N. Day of Oxford

TAFT LAU0HiNGLY DENIES

MANILA, August 12.-When the news
arrived here by cable that Secretary
Root, Of the war department, would be
forced to resign the portfolio by his
duties as a member Of the Alaskan
boundary com mission about to meet in
London, his resignation to take effect
under certain conditions in December
next if not sooner, a reception was TAX

Major General George W. Davis, until
recently in command Of the division Of
the Philippines, and now on the re-
tired list.
Governor Taft, who was present, when
shown the statement contained in this
dispatch that he would succeed Secre-
tary Root upon his retirement, laugh
ingly replied that the report was I'M
true.
Later on when a second message was
received confirming an alleged offer Of
the appointment the governor denied
the sta tement in similar terms.

GOVERNMENT ARCHITECT
IS SUMMARlLY FIRED
Mr.. Cobb, on the Chicago Public
Building, Let out-No Cause
Assigned.

WASHINGTON, August 12.-secre-
tary Shaw today removed Mr.. Cobb,
the special architect for the Chicago
building. No cause was assigned for
his action. It is not likely that a sue
cessor to Mr.. Cobb will be appointed
and the building will be completed UNI
der the sole supervision of the SUPER
vising architects office.
The action taken today is said to
have been under consideration for some
time. For some months, it is stated at
the treasury department, Mr.. Cobb has
been without actual authority and fur
Their, it is said that all his recommen-
dations have been passed on by the
supervising architect, after an indie
pendent examination of their merits.
Mr.. Cobb was appointed in 1896.

LOCAL LABOR NOTES.

John Watson, secretary Of the State
Plumbers Examining Board. and
prominent in state labor circles, was
in the city Wednesday, Mr.. Watson
came here to hold an examination for
cision of Minneapolis Judge who de-
clared the law unconstitutional, but
few plumbers are asking for licenses.
The Cooks and Walters union gave
party Tuesday evening after their
regular business meeting. There was
music and dancing, and a very enjoya-
BILE evening was spent.
George Smith of the plumbers union,
and one of the most prominent men in
building trades circles, sprung a little
surprise; on his riends last Saturday
evening. At the home 81 of Malcolm
Matheson at Nineteenth avenue East
he was married to Miss Charlotte A.
Kennedy, most estimable young wo-
man. DR.. Clelland. Of the First Pres
byterian church officiated. Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith are at home to their friends
at 1917 Dingwan street.
There is some talk among the car
penters of giving a Labor Day picnic
of their own, rather than turning out
with the Trades Assembly,. Indeed
at the meeting Of the union on Tues
day evening the matter was discussed
at some length.
This has been a rather off week in
labor circles, and there is very little
news of interest to report.
The journeymen plumbers come in
fo,. tho MASTER
plumbers at the council meeting Mon
day evening. Charges were made that
the journeymen were trying to sand
bag the public with the ordinance. The
charge is really ridiculous to take note
Of. Any time the masters endeavor to
cast the responsibility for the high
price Of plumbing upon the Journey
men the knowing ones smile.

curing tor thu unions half their dethande
as to wages and time, and, therefore.
MI. Roosevelt has become the candidate
Of trade unionism, not as it MIGHT he.
but as it is. In short, all the dtssatls-
fled elements In society are for him.
1.-THE republican party in the north
west is feeble intellectually and coirrup+
morally. In the newer states it is led
be men who have made fortunes by
disobedienoe of the lana laws, by ttefts
of the public lands, by the milking of
government contracts and by corrup-
ton of various kinds. These men are
for the republican party because it has
been good to them, good by it's generous
use of the public moneys in their be-
half and by overlooking their offences
against the land and other laws. They
would like to see some one President
not so honest as Roosevelt. but they
feel that the party can control him and
head him off when he promises to be
particularly strenuous in his pursuit of
rascality.
'"rhey have reaped large profit in
the northwest. and they depend for
future profits on control in Washing
ton. The senators, representatives
and lobbyists of the northwest are
about the busiest men in the party. for
they want to retain their senatorships,
therefore they are demagogues at home.
They have really kept the states back,
for they have insidiously fought against
the farmer and in favor Of the ranch
man, posing all the time as champions
of agriculture.
'oThese men want also to be in the
good graces Of the president They see
no chance for the nomination of any
one but Roosevelt, 80 he has this
element with him. They would desert
him for some republican boss, If they
could have one. and the conservative
people would abandon him also If they
were once convinced that he did not
satisfy their idealistic notion of him.
or If they thought, as the like class in
the east thinks, that he is an unsafe
man.
But the majority here, who vote to-
gether and shout together, are of the
kind who followed Bryan, and they are
now for Roosevelt. In other words. the
enormous popularity which Roosevelt
seems to have in the northwest is due
to the prominence Of the men who are
possessed of populistic notions, and who
think that the president is with them.
who are opposed to the real prosperity
OF the country, Of the west as well OF
the east, and who regard the president
as fellow Of their school Of political
economy.-Henry Loomis Nelson

pears to be the case that the tailors'
dispute in Edinburgh and Glasgow will
be referred to a conference with a
Board Of Trade.
Mr.. William Adamson, assistant Sec
rotary to the Fife Miners Board, re-
ported at the last meeting Of the
Board that 500 nom unionists in the
eastern portion Of the county had de-
cided to join the union.
After considerable negotiations the
motor men who drive the Kirkaldy
electric tramways have obtained time
and quarter payment for Sunday la
Dor. They asked for time and a half.
The wages Of miners in all the dis
tricts of Scotland were on Monday re-
.duced by s cents, per day: This places
their pay at $1.37H per day, being the.
minimum under the existing Concil-
iation Boarad agreement.
Walter Hudson, the Irish secretary
Of the Amalgamated Society Of Rail-
way Servants, has accepted the lin
vitation Of the workers of NEWCASTLE
on-Tyne to contest that constituency
In the labor interest at the next cleo
ton. The executive committee Of his
society has sanctioned his candidature
and the railway men have undertaken
to support him in Parliament. Mr.
Hudson, who has discharged the du-
these Of president Of the Irish Trades
Congggress, and also chairman Of the
Parliamentary Committee with mark
ed success, has done much to further
the interests Of the lobor cause in Ire
land.
The Coal Porters' strike in Cork re-
mains unsettled. About forty carriers
in the employment ofMessrs. Sutton &
Son have gone out in sympathy with
been in the service of the firm for over
thirty years. Some twenty Federation
hands brought over from Liverpool
have been engaged in unloading the
coal vessels under police protection.
The oganized .tailors of Dublin are
about to start a tailoring establish
ment in the city on the copartnership
principle, similar to the one existing
for some time in Belfast.
The agricultural laborers in Ireland
are beginning to appreciate the i'm
portance Of organizing for the redress
VI LhCA1 grievances. 4uGy are 1OT
forming local societies and ag1tating
for what they call the Traditional half
acre."
The joiners employed at Queens Is
land Shipyard, Belfast, have received
notice of the intentions of the mas
tiers to reduce their wages after the
July holidays by one farthing per
hourhour SO as to place them on a
level with those paid on the Clyde
The railway men have invited w.
Brace, the vice president of the South
Wales Miners Federation, to become a
parliamentary candidate for the South
Glamorgan division.
The case Of a miner recently sent
to prison at Doncaster for fraud shows
that the wages earned by the men
were STU cents a day
The second and final ballot for the
election of an agent for the Methyr
miners district resulted as follows:
Morgan Weeks, Mardy, 936; John Will
liams, Cefn Coed, S53.
The position Of the helpers on strike
at the Raven Tinp1ate works, Clan
aman, is affected by the decision Of
the Cancellation Board Sheet Commit
tee held recently. BY this decision
the helpers are offered an advance of
IL cents a day, to begin two. months
hence.
