Wonders Of Insect Life.

have convinced the president that 1t

sion of tariff and general reciprocity
until December when the regular SEES

The president is DESTROYS of playing
shrewd politics. He does not want to
run the risk of sacrificing any Of the
advantages which he holds as the
only outspoken and self-professed
candidate for the republican nonina,-
ton next year. He appreciates that
giant and potent forces are organizing
in every section Of the country to pre-
vent his nomination, and, failing in
that, to promote the success of the
democratic candidate for president.
He appreciates, moreover, that the
movement is no longer confined to a
single class of men, but that it is
rapidly extending into every channel
Of national activity; that merchants,
manufacturers and business men gen
orally are beginning to share the sus-
picion that the continuance Of his adj
ministration would mean peril to the
continued prosperity Of the country.
His friends are beginning to fear that
the opposition to his ambition, which
Is crystallizing inside Of the republic
can organization, will end in bitter
struggle for the control of the next
national convention.
Until two months ago it was con-
coded that President Roosevelt would
have no opposition. Now it is appar-
ent that there will be an abundance
Of opposition; that the south will send
solid delegations instructed to vote
against Roosevelt to the last ditch.
The expectation Of opposition from
northern states also is a. source of
constant worry to the presidents adj
visers. The president is altering his
course every day. He is endeavoring
to be conservative. The administra-
TONS press agents are no longer eager
to exploit the presidents athletics,
horsemanship and eccentric states
manship. On the contrary they are
striving to clothe every bit Of infor-
nation which emanates from the
White House with conservatism.

Advices from Chicago say that seri-

lights caused great Inconvenience to
telegraph and telephone conn anies to-
day. Telegraph wires in all directions
from Chicago felt the effect, in some
being necessary. Long distance tele-
phone wires were similarly affected,
communication being entirely sus-
pended at, times. One report stated
that huge waves Of electric force
passed thru the earth, paralyzing the
strength of the currents in the wires.

that owing to extraordinary electrical
disturbances they are informed by the
European administration that bust
