NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

1t is fast becoming evident that
President Roosevelt is estrangine
the leaders of his party by his per-
sistent effort to force negro office
holders ON Southern cities. AL,
ready one Republican Senator who
halls from New England, but will
not permit the use of his name,
has told your correspondent that
he is opposed to the appointment
of w. D. Crum as Collector OF
the Port of Charleston, S. c., and
that he will oppose the ratification
of his nomination by the Senate,
and there are good grounds for
believing that there are several
other prominent Senators who hold
the same view, although they will
not admit it. The nomination of
Crum has already been the sub
ject of two secret sessions of the
Senate Commerce Committee, be-
fore which appeared Mayor Smith
and Mr.. j. Calvin Hemphill, of
Charleston, and their testimony
made strong impression. Said
the Senator referred to, to-day,
"We would not tolerate a negro
collector of customs in our state
nor would we tolerate negro
postmaster in our principal towns
and cities. The President is going
too far in his quixotic attempt to
demonstrate his regard for negroes
and in the end he will injure his par
ty." Southern Senators and Repre-
sentatives have already protested
that the President, in his insane
desire to capture the negro vote,
would precipitate race hatred and
stir up strife and their predictions
have been sustained by the mass
meeting held here this week for
''the promotion Of the cause Of the
negro" at which James fl. Hayes,

The recent passage by the House
of the minority Philippine coinage
bill has stirred up hornets nest,
and it is predicted in some quarters
that Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw will be forced out of the
Cabinet as a result of his advocacy
Of that measure. The bill passed
extends the gold standard to the
Philippines and received the unan-
imous support of the Democrats.
The majority bill provided for the
use of silver at ratio of 80 to 1.
Secretary Shaw is logical advo-
cate of the gold standard and would
apply it in the Philippines as well
as in the United States, but Secre-
tary Root, who fathered the ma
ioritY bill, appreciates the evils of
an absolute gold standard and at
tempted to temporize along the
line outlined. The Senate will
pass the majority bill, and it is
predicted that the whole measure
will be lost in conference. The
alleged disaffection of those Re
publicans who rallied to Secretary
Shaw's leadership, will, it is claim
ed, defeat the Fowler ELASTIC
Currency bill in the House, as

Committee are whetting their
