THE WASHINGTON LETTER

Visitors to the White House are
at present receiveda a little later than
usual, as the president devotes as
much time as possible each morning
TO the work on his annual message
to congress, which he dictates to
Secretary Loeb, who is one of the
most competent stenographers in
the country Last year the chief
topic in the presidents message was
the public regulation Of corporations
but the laws enacted by congress- on
this subject are regarded as salts
factory, and the trusts are now left
to the Department of Justice and to
the Department. of Commerce and
Labor. There is not the slightest
chance of any material trust legisla-
tion at the next regular session. The
president will refrain also from any
suggestion which would lead to the
consideration of the tariff. The re-
construction of the financial system
will be discussed to some extent,
but the president agrees with the
party leaders that there is little need
at this time for remedial legislation.
The main topics in the message will
be the isthmian canal, the needs of
Alaska, conditions in the Philip
pines, the upbuilding Of the navy,
irrigation, land laws and the In
dians. Reference will be made also
to the postal frauds aud the punish
ment of the offenders. Members of
Congress and the general public ex.
pect from the president and the
state department news of the nego-
tiations and the present prospects Of
canal legislation, and the message
will doubtless contain full discus
sion Of the subject. Governor Taft
and the war department have sup
piled the president with mass of
facts from which he can describe
the needs of the Philippine Islands
and suggest legislation of different
kinds, Presidents Roosevelt believes
that Alaska has a great future and
his discussion of the conditions in
the territory will be made easier by
the facts which have been furnished
by the Sub Committee Of the senate
which visited the territory this
summer. Considerable legislation
for Alaska is part Of the republican
plan for the winter, and the presi-
dents suggestions will be especially
important. The improvement Of
the navy is a popular theme with
the president and he will make a
plea for ample funds for gun pract-
ice and allowances for prizes to en-
courage readiness for an emergency.
he will warn against any halt in
making the navy a large and power
full arm. With reference to the
postal frauds the president hopes to
show that the matter has been so
thoroughly handled by the govern
ment, that congress will not need 20
make an investigation Of its own.
He win make public everything in
tho olearest and most comprehen-
sive manner, so that the invsstiga-
tion may be regarded as completed.

OBITUARY
LAFAYETTE ROWLAND

LAFAYETTE hOWLAND
The announcement Of Mr.. Row
lands death came as a startling
surprise to friends here where he
was generally known. No iutima-
tion Of illness had been received
and, in fact. he was in the enjoy
ment Of his usual health up to the
time when the last summons sud
denly came. Saturday afternoon,
October thirty-first.
He was a son of Samuel II. and
Lucinda (Rogers) Rowland and was
born at what is now called Rowlands
January 1s, 1897 His parents came
from Saratoga county, New York,
and located at that place a few years
previously. His father engaged
extensively in numbering and after
finishing his studies at Fort Edward
Institute, Washington county, New
York, and teaching some time, Laf-
ayette assisted his father in the con
duct of his affairs until about 1870
when he began business for himself.
He was elected county treasurer
in 1873, representative in the legis-
lature in 1888 and reelected in 1890
and in 1894, was elected state sena.
tor for this district, serving one
term. In all these responsible posi-
tions he served his constituents with
diligence and was faithful and
conscientious in the discharge of all
life's duties. He became a member
Of Milford Lodge, No. 344 F. g A.
NJ, in 1870 and was one Of its most
esteemed members.
July 1, 1869, he married Arabella,
a daughter of the late Ephriam
Kimbel of Kimbles, who with one
son, Otis F., a civil engineer Of
Scranton, Pa, and one daughter,
Helen B., at home, survive him.
The funeral occurred Monday and
interment in the cemetery at Kim.

Friends of an isthmian canal are
somewhat alarmed by reports from
the west which indicate that in the
Pacifioe coast states a systematic
attempt is being quietly made to
convince the people of that section
that tine advantage to all that part
of the country in the trade with the
Orient will be destroyed if the canal
should be built. The argument is
based upon the fact that the geo
graphical position of the Pacific
coast is such that the products of
that paat of the country will have a
marked advantage over other Sec
tions in the trade. with the Orient,
and that all importions will have to
enter the ports of the Pacific coast,
while if the canal we're completed
there would be competition from the
east and from Europe. It is not
known whethor this argument will
have potent influence with the pres
ent delegation in congress, but it
indicates that strong interests in the
country are opposed to canal con-
struction.

In December the national republi-
can executive committee will meet
here to consider the time and place
for the next national convention.
For some time it has been rumored
ia republican circles that owing TO
his i'll health Senator Hanna's place
as chairman Of the committee would
be vacant and there has been much
speculation as to his successor.
Former governor Crane has been
mentioned as the most like candidate
although Senator Lodge has also
been named. However, Senator
Hanna's health has now greatly inn
proved and It is more than possible
President Roosevelt will try to in
duoe him to retnin his position so
that the republicans can have the
benefit Of his experience and iudg-
ment. The disturbed condition Of
business affairs in some place
makes it possible that the campaign
may be fraught with difficulties,
aud with such leader as German
at work it will be necessary TO keep
a sharp lookout, as he will not fight
on serious national issues, but seems
bent on mud Singing" This is
very strong reason, even if there
we're no others, for moving Perry S.
Heath from the position Of secretary
of the committee. He Is too closely
identified with the postal scandals.
The Tulloch charges accuse him of
serious indiscretions. while he held
the position of first assistant post
master general, and it is rumored
that the Bristow report accuses him
of official corruption, of such kind
that only the statute of limitations
can save him from indictment. In
nocent OF guilty, he would he an
object of attack for German OF other
leaders and it is best for the party
that he should go.

President Roosevelt has written a
letter to the Interstate Levee Con-
ventiou in New Orleans in which he
expresses a keen interest in the
proposal to protect the Mississippi
lowlands by levees. He declares
that such protection is Of importance
to the whole country, no less than
to the people Immediately adjoining
the river. He wishes the convention
success and says he will follow its
proceedings closely Fifteen states
are represented and it has been re-
solved to appeal to the Federal Gov
ernment for adequate aid to build
levees on both banks Of the river
and TO maintain them at the maxi.
mum grade, thereby making possible
reclamation and protection of the
alluvial lands and Improvement of
navigation. Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wilson was present at the con-
vention and expressed thorough
sympathy with its purpose.
A small furry was created at the
Japanese Legation here by the pub
lication Of a telegram Of General
Macarthur, dated Manila, December

olared that evidence had been dis
covered Of the dealings between an
official Of the Japanese consulate at
Manila. and the insurgent leader
Trias. Mr. Takahira, the Japanese
minister here has given out q long
interview in which he declares that
General Macarthur must have been
mistaken, and that Japan desired no
concessions from the Philippine in
surgents. The controversy has not
yet been settled, and the Japanese
declare that it Is an attempt 70
