President Roosevelt in his letter said:
II feel that not merely the republican
party, but all believers in the country,
should do everything in their power to keep
alive the memory of Abraham Lincoln. The
problems we have to solve as a nation now
are not the same as those he had to face,
but they can be solved Alright only if we
bring to their solution exactly his princi-
pies and his methods, his iron resolution,
his~keen good sense, his broad kindIiness
his tactical ability and his lofty idealism'

The Washington Star, a paper almost I'M

finest public buildings on earth 1t is built
of smooth-faced marble in the French re-
Nuisance style; it is nine stories high and
the only office with which he can compare
it is the marble palace of the Herald build
ings in New York. From attic to basement
everything is marble. The entrance hall is
a lofty marble chamber, deliberately carved,
and with abundant bronze work. Round the

AID FOR THE FILIPINos.
The House for the Appropriation Of
100000.

The House made slow progress with the
sundry civil bill yesterday afternoon COW
erlng only twenty-seven pages and leaving
forty pages still to be disposed Of The
delays were occasioned by a rather pro-
tracted discussion of the item in the bill
for the maintenance of the White House
and considerable debate upon the item ap-
propriating 100000 for the relief of dis
tress in the Philippines. An amendment to
cut In half the appropriation for the relief
of distress in the Philippines was defeated,
but the language of the paragraph was
modified to require annual reports Of the
expenditure of the money.
Mr.. Jones (Va) made point of order
against the item to appropriate 100000
for the RELIEF of the distress in the Philip
pines by the purchase and distribution or
sale of farm implements, farm animals,
supplies and necessarieS of life and through
the employment of labor in the construction
or government wagon roads, railroads and
other public works. He withdrew the
point of order, however, upon the under
standing with Mr.. Cannon that the word
railroads should be stricken out and that
provision should be made for a detailed
report of expenditures under the appropria-
ton.
The point was subsequently renewed by
Mr.. Greene Pa). but was overruled by the
chair.
The amendment suggested by Mr.. Cannon
was offered by him and he explained the
reasons winch moved the committee, almost
unanimously, to report the item. He had
read the recommendations of the President
and the Philippine commission urging the
necessity for some measure of relief for
the Philippines. He said the proposed re-
lief was as necessary as that given Cuba
and Porto Rico
Mr.. Benton MOI a member of the appro-
priations committee, supported the provis-
ion.
Mr.. Jones (Va.) moved to reduce the ap-
propria ton from 5000 600 to s., 500, 600.
Mr.. Robinson Qnd) thought If there was
necessity for relieving distress in the Philip
pines the money should be loaned, not do
mated.
After some debate by Messrs. Williams
Qll), Crumpacker Qnd.) and others, Mr..
Jones' amendment was voted doWn-21 to SO.
Mr.. Cannon's amendment was adopted
without division.
After completing only twenty-seven pages
the committee rose. Saturday was substitute
ed for today for the consideration of private
pension bills in order that the House might
proceed with the sundry civil bill today. At
SIS p. m. the House adjourned.

every hour fairer for the voyage to Ber-
muda. A great number of gales pass along
the coast of America, following nearly
similar tracks, and in the winter make the
voyage between Bermuda and Halifax very
boisterous. These gales. by revolving as
extended whirlwinds, give a northerly wind
along the American continent and south
erly wind along the whirlwind's opposite
side far out in the Atlantic. In sailing
from Halifax to Bermuda it is desirable, for
this reason, to keep to the westward, as
affording better chance of having a wind
blowing at north instead Of one at south,
as well as because the gulf stream sets YES
sells to the eastward.
When vessels from Barbados or it's
neighboring West Indian islands sail to
Bermuda on direct course, they sometimes
fall to the eastward of it and find 1t very
difficult to make when westerly winds pre-
vail. They should, therefore, take advan-
tage of the trade wind to make the meridian
6S or 20 degrees of longitude before they
leave the parallel of 25 degrees NORTH

BOOM FOR PRESIDENT
LAUNCHED IN BEHALF OF WILL
LIAM r. HEARST.
Bryan Declares He is Still in Favor Of
the Platforms Of 1896
and 1900.

At the son-Jackson-Lincoln League
banquet at Columbus, Ohio. last night, For
mer Gov. James Budd of California formal
ly inaugurated a presidential boom in be-
half Of Representative-elect William Ran
dolph Hearst Of New York. A feature Of the
evening was the presence of William Jen-
nings Bryan of Lincoln, Neb., who was ac-
corded an ovation when he arose to speak.
Mr.. Bryan asserted that if there is any
one man in the country who has suffered
on account of lack Of democratic harmony
he is that man. He charged that 1t was the
opposition Of alleged democrats within the
ranks of his party that brought him defeat
in 1896 and 1900. He said that he knew all
the men who had gone astray in those years
and that since that time they had suffered
severe heart burning.
IF it is such a serious affair to change
party allegiance" Mr.. Bryan said, II hope
these men will stay out Of the democratic
party. There can be no harmony between
democrats who carry knives for each other
and hate each other. There is a better
chance to make democrats out of the re-
publicans than out of Palmer and Buckner
democrats.
These men can never be in harmony with
us unless they or we change our political
convictions. l still believe in the platforms
adopted at Chicago in 1896 and in Kansas
City in 1900. I have no though of surren-
dering my convictions. 49,
True Then; True Now.
Our principles were true then; they are
true now. I would not change if I could
Neither would I surrender my principles to
win any victory, however great, for my
party.
"A party, like man, needs a character
and membership that knows what is right
and will do it in the advocacy of political
principles"
Mr.. Bryan said he did not propose to take
his democracy from any democratic leader
who received his training from Wall street
Mr.. Hearst was on the program for an
address, but was unable to be present He
sent telegram, in which he said:
ITO succeed, the democratic party must
work under the inspiration Of the great
names and thoughts of Jefferson, Jackson
and Lincoln. And 1t must work in co-opera-
ton with the organized manhood and indie
pendence of this country, the greatest dem
ocratic force of today"
An expected clash between the Johnson
and Mclean factions of the state committee
did not develop to an acute stage. no action
Of any kind being taken. A postponement of
disputed questions is looked upon as a vic
tory for the Johnson men, as it is claimed
McLeans friends backed down from the ag-
gressive stand taken.
