FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
Washington. d. O., Sept. Is.

W cohlh VIM - 49,
Senator Bailey, Of Texas, who is visit
ing Washington, expresses the belief
that Senator German would be the best
possible candidate for the democrats to
nominate against President Roosevelt
Senator German is the best equipped
man we have, said Mr., Bailey. "With
German we ought to win; whether we do
or not is another matter. The democracy
has no chance in the middle west except
in Illinois. With proper organization
German can carry Illinois. In the
far west he can carry Utah and Mon
tana. and with these he can win. He
can beat Roosevelt in New York easily.
/ believe he can carry Connecticut and
New Jersey"
It is said here by those in positions to
know that the President has no idea Of
receding from the standpoint he has
taken in the Miller case, nor will he
hold conferences with officials represent
ing organized labor in regard to the
matter. Tomorrow afternoon the Presi-
dent will have as his guest John
Mitchell, who is now here, he having
several months ago been invited by Mr..
Roosevelt to dine with him when he
next came to Washington. 1t is quite
probable that the Miller case will be
discussed but that it will not take the
form of conference.
Burton r. Parker, of Detroit, has
been appointed supervising special agent
of the Treasury vice w. 5. Chance, of

He wi, not make any speecbes-he
seldom does-but he will be at demo-
cratic headquarters in Baltimore a day
or two each week to confer with his
ljeutenants and make suggestions, par
ticularly as to the work in the counties.
In the retention Of Murray Vandiver as
chairman of the State Committee the
party has acted wisely. He is the
counterpart OF German in political
fnesse, and by years Of work and study
has famiiarized himself with the condi-
tons in every county and legislative

dated Bogota, Sept. p, s p. m. He
reports that there has been no change in

and it is thought that it may be decisive.
The present outlook is for some ameud-
ment of the reported bill.

Bulgaria Hesitating.

Sofia, Sept. 2s-Despite a certain
amount of mobilization which has been
going on for some days past, there are
only five Bulgarian regiments on the
frontier against sixty regiments OF Tur-
kish troops Just over the border. The
Bulgarians as a result are beginning to
realize that they are ill-prepared for
such a desperate conflict as war with
Turkey would prove to be, and are now
playing for time to complete their or
ganization and procure the necessary
supplies of ammunition, knapsacks
rifles. etc. Servia is now definitely out
of the metter, the Sultan having secured
her neutrality by important concessions.
This last triumphant move in the Sui
tan's master game Of diplomacy has
succeeded in making all the great powers,
including England, adopt policy OF
hands of. Abdul has now won the
neutrality of all the small Balkan states,
thus completely isolatiug Bulgaria
which he deems himself able to devour
at any time without outside interference.

building plot and turn it into fort. A
representative of the company said :;
We have found that there are $50 men
who are employedto "do up non-union
men at work on buildings. They form
4 gang and operate like any gang Of
East side rowdies. On our new build
ing we are going to provide sleeping
quarters. in order that it may never be
necessary for the men to leave the place
unless thew want to. We are going to
build regular stockade around the
building.
This is indeed a sad state Of affairs
and trayesty upon country which
boasts OF being the "home of the free. "
The idea of men who want to work in
order to earn living to be guarded from
attack because they prefer not to become
members of this or that organization. Is
