President Roosevelt made a recent
trip to New York to participate in
the celebration Of the anniversary OF
John Wesley. While there he con-
ferred with some Of the leaders Of his
party and some most interesting
gossip is coming to Washington as a
result Of those conferences. The
presidents friends say that he will be
nominated for the presidency next
year by the almost unanimous vote
of the convention and that Senator
Beveridge will occupy the second
place on the ticket. They say this is
an age Of young men and with q
president 45 and a vice president but
four years his junior the spirit Of the
age will be carried into effect. 1t is
further stated that during the cam
paign Mr.. Roosevelt will remain in
the White House while Senator Bev-
eridge, who is a orator Of renown,
will ''stump' the west in the interest
of the ticket. Mr.. Beveridge, accord
ing to these reports, is very popular
in the west and the presidents popu-
larity in that section is well known
while his hold on New York state j.
continually growing stronger.

Democratic members Of the House
have held a caucus and resolved to
obstruct every measure until adjourn
ment. To meet this flibuster the
house will, it is expected, be compell-
ed to remain in continuous session
until the 4th Of March, substituting
daily "recesses" for adjournment.
Thus every action Of the house here
after will be ''as on the legislative
day Of Feb. 26th." The occasion of
the democratic wrath was the un-
seating of Representative Butler of
Missouri in favor Of Representative
Wagner Of the same district, 'exten-
sive frauds having been found in the
election returns.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

Senator Morgan of Alabama has
shown his hand and his determina-
tion to defeat the ratification of the
Panama canal treaty. When pressed,
in recent executive session, to per-
NIT a date to be set for a vote ON the
treaty Mr.. Morgan few into rage.
After he had refused to permit a vote
on any day during the remainder Of
the session, Senator Cullom charged
the Alabama senator with talking
against time with the purpose Of
defeating the treaty. "That is as
false as though it had come from the
mouth Of an imp in he'll" shouted
Mr. Morgan. 81 do not take orders
from the senator from Illinois. When
/ want somebody to act as my
captain I will get a man with more
mental calibre end broader mindn
continued the enraged senator, to the
amazement Of his colleagues. Mr..
CullOm permitted the ALBANIAN to
spend his wrath with remarkable
composure and then declared that
those charged with seeing the treaty
succeed proposed that ratification
follow. If the senator from Alabama
talked the treaty to death this session
he would have an opportunity to
attempt repetition Of his tactics in
an extra session. Mr.. Morgan's
attitude is regarded as rendering an
extra session Of the senate inevitable
but Senator Cullom assures your
correspondent that the Panama canal
and the Cuban treaties will be ratified
if becomes necessary to "hOld the
senate in extra session until July"

The democrats in the senate pre-
pared themselves for long filibuster
with a view to forcing a vote on the
Littlefeld antitrust bill, but the
republican managers promptly de-
feated their purpose by calling for a
vote on Senator Blackburn's motion
to consider the Littlefeld bill and
defeating it % to 3s. Senator Aid
rich, speaking of the action of his
party said, "It was so obviously
ludicrous to attempt to consider so
important and far-reaching a measure
as the Littlefield bill in the closing
hours of the session that the repebli-
cans had no fear that the judgment
Ofthepeople would not sustain them"
The democrats appreciated that the
consideration of the bill would be
impossible but sought this means of
embarrassing the republicans and of
making what they believed would
constitute campaign material.

President Roosevelt has sent to the
senate a foreible message appealing
to that body to pass the Philippine
tariff bill already passed by the
house. The president quotes long
cablegram from Governor Taft set
ting forth the necessity Of afTording
this assistance to the Philippine
Industries. A careful canvass Of the
senate reveals the fact that a majority
would be glad to support the bill il
given an opportunity to vote for it
but Senators Teller and Patterson,
both democrats, from Colorado, de-
clare their intention 70 talk the
measure to death. These gentlemen
are afraid that at some future time
the Philippine sugar industry may
attain proportions which will enable
ii to compete with their sugar pro
ducing constituents and thus rob them
Of some of the benefits Of the Dingley
tariff schedules.

thought that Julian Crammer, who was

Walker is still locked up at police

to his original story, saying that he
entered his residence Unexpectedly to
find Crammer and Mrs. Walker to-
gether in a private room. Crammer,
he declares, started towards him, as
though he meant to assault him, and
he then fired at him three times.
