Jones report to Governor Carter did
not correctly represent his views in
any particular and utterly misrepre-
scented them in some. Secretary Root
made the assertion that remarks of
this character though declared to
have been made in private conversa-
tion would not necessarily shield an
officer from the requirement. of an
explanation. But he says that Mac
Arthur's denial carries with it due
weight in explanation.
He. therefore. would take no ac-
ton in the matter.

Honolulu, Dec. 10.-Major General
Macarthur, during military confer
ence, has said that in all probability
war will take place between the Un-
tied States and Germany in the near
future, which makes the Hawaiian
National Guard of great importance.
The Garmania doctrine is growing
among German-Americans of the ISL
and few of whom volunteered dur
ing the war with Spain. He said he
believed that the German interests
were growing to such an extent in
South America that the strain on
the Monroe Doctrine would eventu-
ally lead to a conflict Hawaii being
the strategic point, he says no ma
.tion will make any attempt on the
shore line of the Pacific states un-
til the capture of the Hawaiian ISL
ands has been effected. This state
ment of Macarthur has just been
made public through the report of
Col Jones to Governor Carter.
SanFrancisco, Cal, Dec. 10.-Ma-
jor General Macarthur. who is quot
ed in the cable dispatch from Hon
United States and Germany. has not
yet returned to this city. AT army
headquarters it was stated today
that he was not expected back from
Honolulu until Christmas, though he
may come on the Sherman. due in
a few days. Referring to the state
ment attributed to General MacAr-
thur, which it appears was trans
mitted to Governor Carter by Col
Jones of the Hawaiian militia. one
of the high army officials said today,
81 cannot believe that General Mac
Arthur made the prediction attrib-
uted to him. 1t is quite possible that
in comforting with the fortificatiOn
board which recently met in Homo
lulu he may have incidentally refer

some foreign power as an argument

dy knows, are very important STRAIT

may have mentioned Germany as a
growing sea and commercial power,
but he is too experienced an officer
and diplomat to make the rash
statement with which he is credited.
Other army officers expressed SINH
lar views and all are confident that
General Macarthur would make a
prompt and entirely satisfactory ex-
planation of the matter.
Washington, d. c.. Dec. 1.-THE
statement attributed to General Mac
Arthur, contained in yesterdays dis
patches from Honolulu. in which it
was alleged that he had predicted
war in the immediate future between
the United States and Germany have
come to the notice of Secretary Root.
In an interview with an Associated
Press representative today Secreta
ry Root said that the only informa-
tion he had on the subject was what
he saw in the morning papers. He
did not regard 1t as calling for any
action by him inasmuch as the dis

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
Republican National Committee to-
day at the, Arlington hotel began it's
initial meeting preparatory to the
presidential campaign of 1904. The
committee which was called to order
by Chairman Hanna represented ev-
cry state and territory, either by
the regular members or by proxy,
except Hawaii. The principal busi-
ness to be transacted is the selec
ton of the time and place of hold
ing the next national convention.
Neither of these Questios was dis
cussed today, but will be taken up
tomorrow Chicago and st. Louis
are the leading rivals for the loca-
ton of the convention. H
When Senator Hanna called the
meeting to order hes was greeted by
a round of applause. He made brief
address, concluding, "All of interest
to the Republican party that centers
in this meeting can be told in one
word-success-and all that is nee
essary to bring this about is to stand
pat upon the principles and policies
of that party" The statement was
greeted with hearty applause.
An exceedingly active. competition
to secure the national convention is
in progress among the delegations
representing several cities. and to-
night, when all the National Com
mitteemen and all the city delega-
be done. The delegation represent
ing the Hamilton club of Chicago,
which was the earliest to put in an
appearance and secure headquarters
at a leading hotel. was strengthened
by the arrival of several more Chi
cagoans today.
Chicago is prepared to put up the
10000 guarantee and also to offer
an additional $4,000 to equip the
Coliseum as place for holding the
convention. 1t appears at present
that a majority of the National Com
mitteemen favor Chicago as the
meeting place, but the contest has
not reached point where any par
ticular city can claim definite as
stlrance of having won the fight. In
New York, Pittsburg. Buffalo. Cleve-
land, Omaha, Detroit. Milwaukee, In
dianapolis and San Francisco have
made preliminary bids for the con-
vention The majority of these, how
ever, have dropped out of the fight
and only a few will present their
J claims to the committee tomorrow.
The meeting of the committeeman
has given rise to many reports and
much speculation as to what will be
done by the committee regarding the
Presidential campaign of next year.
From statements recently published
there seems to be an impression
that the National Committee now in
existence will have charge of the
next presidential campaign in some
unexplained way, and that the con-
duct of the campaign is to be dis
cussed at the present meeting. AS a
matter Of fact the present National
Committee practically ceased to have
any authority after the close Of the
national campaign of 1900.
Its duties and its functions ceased
with the close of the campaign. with
the single exception Of coming TO-
gether at the present time to nix the
date and place for holding the Ma
fional convention Of 1904. That duty

For Better Roads.

Prof. w. j. Roberts has been in
Olympia the past week comforting
with the road and bridge commit
tee of the state Legislature regard
ing system of state roads Advo-
Gates of good roads were at the state
capital from all parts Of the state,
the movement for a betterment of
highways being universal.
Prof Roberts says of the situa-
ton:
Just because Massachusetts, and
various Eastern states waited until
they were two hundred years old
before they began to have good
roads, is no reason why Washing
ton, only fifty years old, should wait
one hundred and fifty years longer
There is crying and a growing
need for better highway facilities,
and the time is now at hand TO get
some tangible results. Many good
roads conventions have been held
in the past year, and they all tended
toward the construction Of macad-
amized roads. AS a consequence
the committee on roads and bridges
have asked us to meet them at
Olympia and confer on the needs
of Washington in this particular.
1t seems hardly creditable that as
much money is expended in this
state on our roads as there is on
our schools, and yet such is fact.
We have a fine school system
simply because those in control un-
derstand their business. We could
have as good roads if those in con-
AtrV understood what is required of
them. Good competent men fol
road supervision is one of the
/ changes that must be made

in her family the year before l
came. She made an impression
on me because she had told
me that / had run very
narrow chance in matrimonial
way, in not being on the spot the
year before.
When we moved from Four
Mile l had for my nearest neigh
Dor Mrs. Ann Harrison, mother
of Mrs. Thomas Macon, and the
Harrison brothers. She was a
most original woman, intensely
fond of the South and all its ways
and her life here was SO in con-
trast with her early life that she
used to feel as if she were buried
alive. l think it was she who
said there were just two things
that brought people to this coun-
try, broken health and broken for
tunes,
Mrs. Catlin had lived here long
er than those l have mentioned,
but one living on Four Mile the
first few months. I did not know
her. When she came to see me
/ found in her a warm friend and
good neighbor. l think they
owned the entire country on the
south side and their possessions
extended to this side. We bought
the lots on which our home is
built of Mr.. Catlin thirty-four
years ago.

elusive and l wondered if she

however for not having called be
fore. She was most cordial and

tion to tea. ! learned many things
from her. One was to make jelly
