GORMAN'S NANEUYERS
ALARM ADMINISTRATION
Fears Marylander May De-
feat Canal Treaty.
PRESIDENT SEES LEADERS
Democratic Votes Promised, But Diff
Guilty Is to Keep the Repub-
licans in Line.

Perturbed over the efforts of Senator
German to line up his forces against
the canal treaty, President Roosevelt
called a number of the Republican lead
ers into conference yesterday morning.
Assurances had been given that twelve
or thirteen Democrats were certain to
vote for the treaty, but the new turn
OF AFFAIRS precipitated by Senator Hoar 5
speech. is so disquieting that the Adj
ministration feels it incumbent to pre-
sent an unbroken front to the oppo-
nents of the treaty and to line UP every
possible vote for ratification.
Cabinet Members Call.
Secretary Moody. Assistant Secretary
Loomis and Secretary Cortelyou join

OF the day every member of the Cabi-
net was at the White House, with the
exception of Secretary Hay. who is i'll;
Secretary Shaw. who is out of the city.
and Secretary Wilson. 1t is believed
and President went over to the situation
with the members OF the Cabinet. and
also with a number of Republican lead
ers of the Senate. including Senator
Spooner and Senator Lodge. When
Senator Lodge left the White House

bad Bit of Politics"
The Administration is firmly convinced
the people want the canal. and that II
the Democrats prevent it's construction
1t will be a huge political blunder.
IF Mr. German succeeds in killing the
treaty" said one of the President 5
callers. eft will be the worst bit of poll
tics the Democrats have accomplished
for many a year. The people of this
country demand that canal. and will
have It sooner or later. II Mr.. Cor
man should succeed in blocking the
treaty, and should obtain the nomination
for the Presidency at the head of the
Democratic ticket. his defeat would be
traceable to that. smlch as to any
other single reason
With a solid front, the Democrats can
beat the treaty. but with three Demo
cratic votes. the Republicans will have
the required two-thirds. The Republi-
cans maintain they have more than that
Under the circumstances. the matter OF
holding every Republican vote in line
becomes of the greatest Importance.

MAY NAME M'ADOO
TO HEAD THE POLICE
Reports From New York Say Mayor
Elect Mcclellan Is Considering the
Former Assistant Secretary.

NEW YORK, Dc. 19.-William Nc
Adoo, who was Assistant Secretary of
the Navy in the second Cleveland Adj
ministration, is, according TO reports. to
be police commissioner under Mayor
Mcclellan. The report that he is to be
appointed TO that Office is today accept
ed as true by Tammany politicians, and
the news has Grated something of a
panic in the organization
1t is accepted as an advance notice
that the Croker plan OF politics, district
leaders first, is down and out. For some
days there has been a vague suspicion
or fear in Tammany that few district
eaders would be appointed to important
offices, and that Mayor-elect McClel-
Ian would surprise the rank and file.
Ihat suspicion is now rapidly growing
into certainty.
Recent New Yorker.
The Office OF police commissioner is
generally regarded by Tammany men as
the most important within the gift of
the next mayor. i. was also expected
that Mr.. Mcclellan would appoint a
district leader TO the Office in order to
show that straight-out Tamnany man
could run the department.
Mr.. McAdOo has been a resident of
the city only a few years. He is not
actively identified with Tammany TIe
was gold Democrat in the two Bryan
campaigns, and Is a close personal
friend of Grover Cleveland.
He is one of a number of prominent
Democrats brought into association
with Tammany by Leader Charles F.
Murphy. His appointment as police
commissioner will be accepted by the
rank and file of Tammany as notice
that the old order q things in the or
ganization is dOwr and out for good,
that the Croker influence is. gone.
Refuses to Talk.
Today the Tammany district leaders
are all at sea. They do not know what
Is going 20 happen and all are anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the mayor-elect.
William McAdoo was one of the
orators at the last Tammany Fourth
Of July celebration, and In his speech
suggested the building in this city of
monument to Thomas Jefferson. Sen
ator Grady accepted the suggestion. and
said that Tammany would furnish the
money to pay for such a monument
No further steps have been taken in the
matter.
Mr.. McAdoo saw Mr. Mcclellan in
Washington yesterday, and returned TO
this city last night
He said this morning:

ARTIST STEELE PICTURES BEAUTY

brilliant coloring of the Pacific coast, and
the pictures have the charm of unfamiliar

sunlight beyond. Two studies of the Path

morning study, are beautiful in coloring, as
are also the studies of Street in Nye

the interest of the exhibition.
