Republicans will have complete con- trol of the Fifty eight Congress which meets in extra session on November 9. Their majority in the Senate will be twenty-four, and in the House thirty. Many new faces are seen among the members who arrive in Washington. Twelve Senators will see their first service, except for the ten days extra session of the Senate last spring. There will be llS new members in the House. among them William Ran dolph Hearst who aspires to the demo- cratic nomination next year. Mir. German will attempt to lead united democratic minority in the Senate and as he, too, has presidential aspir- ations, he will be watched more closely than usual. His resentment at the Presidents attempts to harmonize the republican factions in Maryland, together with the fact that his brother has been dismissed from a position in the Treasury Department, will not tend toward the increase of good feel ing between the leader of the demo- cratic minority and the Administra- tiOn.

The General Board of the Navy, of which Admiral Dewey is President, has mapped out plans for the protec- tiOn of American interests in the Far East in the event of a war between Japan and Russia. In such an event Rear-Admiral Evans commander of the Asiatic fleet would be instructed to send squadrons to the Manchurian ports of Mukden and Antung, which under the terms of the Chinese treaty with this country are to be opened to American trade. At a recent meeting of the Joint Army and Navy Board the question of providing proper de- lenses for the Philippines was consid- cred. The board did not hesitate to say that the islands were in defense less condition, and that Congress should be asked to provide funds for the erection of Notifications which would render Manila and Subig Bay invulnerable to an attack from the sea. It is estimated that at least $50, 900, 600 would be necessary to build adequate modern Notifications and Congress will probably be asked to authorize at once the beginning of the work.

The editor of the Arizona Arrow, published at Chloride, Arizona, is certainly an "amusin cuss," or the brand of hop that he smokes would make Chinatown Celestial green with envy. In last issue he claims that the leading dailies of Los Angeles and San Francisco are using his thunder, and that the "Arrow publishes the latest and best news first; it never fol- lows" And still on the same page appears three columns of reprint from the Nevada Searchlight, Prescott Journal-Miner, Phoenix Enterprise and other papers.

Russia is likely to concede the open ports not only because of the promise but because it will pay to keep on friendly terms with the United States. This is question of diplomacy as it is not worth fighting about. The greatest importance in the matter is the reliability of the czar's govern ment.

journalistic Freaks.

The editor of the Independent has
gone "daft'' for sure and tumbled,
body and breeches, into the camp of
the calamity howlers," who will have
nothing but that the country is going
to predition sure, simply because
couple of we'll known rascally trust
companies have "done'' each other,
and that for several weeks few furn-
aces have shut down to force up the
price of their product. The editor has
taken to the rankest kind of rot and
imagines the people are all fools to be-
lieve such stuff ''Every department
of business has been stagnant" Bosh!
Grant it that there has been slight
decline in the price of iron, just as
supply and demand always regulates
the price of this product. The Inde-
pendent has been foolishly talking
this senseless bosh for weeks. Just as
the pessimist always does upon the ap-
proach of elections, especially Presi.
Dental, and cries panic! This country
Is in no danger of panic, not a bit of
it. The wise financial policy of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's administration is
amply prepared to protect the country
with it's millions upon millions of re-
serve, without selling bonds either, as
the last "soup house" President
Cleveland-was compelled to co. Yes,
the ''poor dupes," as the Independent
dubs the Republicans, know good
thing and do not care to be fooled by
the false cry raised to elevate the last
democratic President into the White
House and plunge the country into the
depths of dependency The American
voter and his family, and the toiler,
have enjoyed the prosperous, happy
days under the Republican party's
wise guidance and will, mark ye, ele-
vate Theo. Roosevelt to the Presi-
dency next November, and this the
most prosperous Nation in the world
will continue to prosper and be happy;
our industries will be protected and
the American mechanic, laborer and
manufacturer will continue to own his
little home, educate his children and
contented be. No, Mr.. Independent,
"soup houses will not curse this
country and never have, under Re-
publican administrations-they belong
solely to the democratic party. Gala
nifty howlers and the pessimists worked
the racket once to the elegant fill of
all. The G. o. P. band wagon will ad-
vance and contain, as usual, live issues,
leaving the dead ones to be gathered
up as usual, by the party of destruc-
tion, prejudice and bigotry.

Where is the stagnation, Mr.. Hockey?

The Return Of the Desperate Co.

In connection with the engagement
of Theodore Kremer's latest success,
ga Desperate Chance" in four acts,
founded on the notorious Biddle Broth.
ers Case, to be seen here on Nov. II at
the Emporium Opera House it is hard
iy necessary to more than announce its
appearance, as the story of the play has
attracted such worldwide reputation,
which gave entire satisfaction when
here last March. The first act opens
with the murder of the Pittsburg
grocer by the Biddle boys, their SEN
tence and conviction. The second act
shows the boys in Jail, where they use
their hypnotic power over the warden's
wife, their sensational escape from jail
their their thrilling fight in the snow
with the detectives, their capture, and
finally their pathetic death in the
Butler County Jail.
Mr.. Kremer considers this his great
est effort, which is saying great deal,
when one considers his receut sue
cesses, 'The Fatal Wedding" "The
Road to Ruin" and others, to numer-
GUS to mention. While the play
abounds with many thrilling situat-
ions, the author has not forgotten to
put plenty of heart interest in the piece.
The child's love for the mother, who
has unintentionally sinned, will send
many away with tear-dimmed eyes.
The comedy situations are also very
strong.
A bigscenic production is promised,
with many new and startling mechan-
ical effects, and with cast of unusual
excellence, performance is promised
to satisfy the most exacting critic.
