Ey-MAYOR OF SCRANTON INSANE
James c. Bailey Taken to clty's Poor
House and Asylum.

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 3.-Ex-Mayor
James G. Bailey. who recently confessed
as a witness In the Finn-Scranton libel
suit that he took a bribe of $1,000 to
sign a paving contract, has been taken
TO Hillside Home, the city's poor house
and insane asylum. He was mayor
from 1895 to 1898. and before entering
the Office was one OF the most highly
esteemed citizens Of Scranton. The
lobbyists got him dissipating and the
latter part of his term was rife with
scandals. The prosecutions against him
were dropped because of the mental
and physical condition that resulted
from the disclosures Of his actions as
mayor.

Friends of an isthmian canal are some
what alarmed by reports from the ives,
which indicate that in the Pacific coast
states systematic attempt is being made
quietly, to convince the people OF that
section that the advantage of all that
part of the country in the trade with the
Orient will be destroyed if the canal
should be built. The argument is based
upon the fact that the geographical posi-.
ton of the Pacific coast is such that the
products of that part IF the country will
have marked advantage over other sec
tons in the trade with the Orient, and
that all importations will have to enter
through ports of the Pacific coast, while
if the canal were completed there would
be competition from the east and from
Europe. 1t is not known whether the
argument will have potent influence
with the present delegation in Congress,
but it indicates that strong interests in
the country are opposed to canal con-
struction.

v WASnINCTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, Nov. ., 1908.

Visitors to the White House are at
present received little later than usual
as the President devotes as much time as
possible each morning to the work on
his annual message to Congress, which
lie dictates to Secretary Loeb, who is one
of tie most competent stenographers in
the country. Last year the chief topic
in the Presidents message was the public
regulation of corporations, but the laws
enacted by Congress on this subject are
regarded as satisfactory, and the tru sts
are now left to the Department OF Justice
and to the Department of Commerce and
Labor. There is not the slightest chance
of any material trust legislation at the
next regular session The President
will also refrain to any suggestion that
would lead to the consideration of the
tariff. The reconstruction OF the tinan-
cial system will be discussed to some
extent, but the President agrees with the
party leaders that there is little need al
this time for remedial legislation. The
main topics in the message will be the
isthmian canal, the needs of Alaska, con-
ditions in the Philippines, the upbuild-
ing of the navy, irrigation, land laws
and the Indians. Reference will also be
made to the postal frauds and the punish
of the offenders. Members of Congress
and the general public expect from the
President and the State Department
news of the negotiations and the present
prospects of canal legislation, and the
message will doubtless contain full dis
cussion of the matter. Governor Taft and
the War Department have supplied the
President with mass of facts from
which he can describe the needs of the
Philippine Islands and suggest legisla-
ton of different kinds President Roose-
welt thinks Alaska has great future and
his discussion of the conditions in the
territory will be made easier by the facts
which have been furnished him by the
Sub. Committee of the Senate which vis-
tied the territory this summer Coilsid-
erable legislation for Alaska is part OF
the Republican plan for the winter, and
the Presidents suggestions will be espec.
tally important
In December the national republican
executive committee will meet here to
consider the time and place of the next
national convention. For some time it
has been rumored in republican circles
that owing to his i'll health Senator
Hanna's place as chairman Of the COM
,uittee would be vacant and there has
been much speculation as to his success
or Former Governor Crane has been
~. entioned as the most likely candidate,
although Senator Lodge has also been
named However Senator Hanna's
health has now greatly improved and It
is more than possibleithat Pres Roose-
yslt will try to induce him to retain his
position so that the republicans can
have the benefit Of his experience and
judgement. The disturbed condition OF
business affairs in some places makes Il
possible that the campaign may be
fraught with with difficulties, and with
such leader as German al work It viii

Capt. A. ]. Read left a few days
ago for a visit of several weeks to rela-
tives in New York.
The purchase and improvement OF
the large vacant lot in our town by
Messrs Mahlon and Frank Byrd has
added greatly to the appearance Of
the town and much to the grAtitic1'
ton of our people.
Our High School has an enroll
ment OF $50 pupils. We need the
help which is promised such schools
from abroad aud expect it, as in our
county superintendent we feel we
have the right man to secure it.
Many of our citizens and especially
these OF ante bellum days are grati-
fad at the renewed effort to secure
payment for the damage done to that
old St. George Episcopal Church at
this pl ace. A bill to that end intro
duced by Senator Martin has been
favorably reported by the Senate
