Pr obably Roosevelt.

Present indications point to the
nomination of President Roosevelt
by the Republican National conven-
ton to be held in Chicago June II.
The members of the national COM
mittee, who recently met in Wash
ington, were practically unanimous
in expressing the belief that no
other name will be presented to the
convention for the presidential nom
ination. Coming as they do, from
every state in the Union, and being
familiar with the apparent drift of
public sentiment, the harmony of
their views is significant. Condi-
tons, not now foreseen, may arise to
change the present outlook, but un-
der ordinary circumstances there
seems no room for doubt that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be his own sue
ceSSor.

Wisconsin State Journal:

Representative Tawney of Mime
sofa, who has had much to do with
the seal question in past sessions OF
congress, doubts that the plan to
stock the great lakes with this ami
NAL can be made effective. He says
that the habits of the fur seal are
such that it probably would be i'm
possible for them to find feeding
ground in the lake, or the necessary
breeding rookeries distant from the
haunts of man, such as the seal has
always known in the seas of the far
north. Prof. William S. Marshall
of the department of zoology at the
University also does not consider the
plan of Ashland capitalists to be
sound. He says:
"I do not consider it probable that
such a plan would meet with sue
cess. In the first place, the seal is
saltwater animal, and while it can
live in fresh water, does not thrive
nearly as well. Another reason why
the plan would be hard to carry out
is that the seal is a migratory animal,
seldom staying in one place for any
length of time, and, for that reason,
would be hard to control"

Christmas.

Tomorrow will be Christmas
Day, and the JOURNAL greets its
many patrons and friends with the
earnest wish of "Merry Christ
masr' to al. Although primarily
a day of worship throughout Chris
tendon, Christmas Day is an occa-
sion for joyous festivities and good
cheer, not equalled by any other.
No other day is SO universally cele-
brated, and this day leads all others
in the pleasurable interest with
which its coming is anticipated. It
is good day for the old and the
young, the high and the low, the
rich and the poor. The American
eagle is great bird, but he ''isn't in
it," compared with Santa Claus.

Hon. Emil Baensch of Manitowoc
has formally announced himself a
candidate for the Republican NOM
ination for the office of governor of
Wisconsin, and in doing SO took oc
casion to issue declarative of prin-
ciples upon which his candidacy is
based. He wishes to be understood
as having entered the field entirely
free from all entangling alliances
with either of the two factions into
which the party is divided, and indie
pendent Of the personal influence of
political leaders. The principal of
primary elections receives his cordial
support, and he recommends the
adoption of the primary election law
to be submitted to the people at the
next general election. The propo-
sition for the creation Of a railway
rate commission meets with his
earnest approval, but he would have
its members elected by the people,
instead of appointed by the govern
or, suggesting incidentally in this
connection, that the appointing
power should be restricted rather
than enlarged. 1t is his opinion that
should such a commission be es-
tablished its members should be
chosen in April, when judicial of
fcers are elected, and that such
commission should be, so far. as
practicable, non-partisan. He be-
lieves the tax commission to be ad-
mirably adapted to the purpose for
which it was intended-the solution
of the problem of taxation. Other
points have been touched upon by
Mr.. Baench, but we have thus brief
ly noted the more important fea-
lures of the address.

The Cuban Lottery.

The Cuban congress has passed a
bill legalizing state lottery, in or
der to add to the national revenue.
The drawings are to be held thrice
a month, and the government to re-
ceive a considerable percentage of
the prizes before they are paid to
the winners. The highest prize at
the regular drawing is 100000, but
there will be special ones at which
it will be fixed at the attractive fig
ure of half million. The whole
affair will be run by the govern
ment, and the profits will be devot-
ed to paying the debt due the "revo-

lutionary'' army.

The Cubans are very fond of the
particular form of gambling called a
lottery, and they look upon this ac-
ton of their government as entirely
praiseworthy. But it is going to
make any amount Of trouble in the
United States. Many Americans
are attracted by lotteries, and are
eager to waste their money on them.
The laws of the United States are
extremely rigid against the circula-
ton Of lottery tickets by mail or ex-
press. However, there is no doubt
the effort will be made to sell tickets
secretly, despite the law. The best
advice we can give people is to let
the tickets severely alone, for you
will be in danger of serious trouble
with the government if you try to
evade the law.-Toledo Blade.

Republican National Conven=
ton.

The initial step toward the COM
ing presidential campaign has been
taken by the Republican National
Committee in selecting Chicago,
Illinois, as the place for holding the
next Republican National Conven-
ton, which will convene June FL,
1904. The Windy City puts up
seventy-five thousand dollars for de-
fraying the expenses of the conven-
ton. A call for the convention will
doubtless soon be issued, after which
the State Central Committee will
have basis upon which to found a
call for a state convention for the
selection of delegates to the nation
al convention. 1t will probably be
number of weeks, however, be-
fore the call for the state convention
will be issued, but the indications
are, that when published it will con-
tain a provision for the nomination
of state officers. Although the Cen
trail Committee arrogated to itself
the power to decide who were en-
titled to seats in the last convention,
it will be unable to compel the NOM
ination of state officers by conven-
ton held for the consideration of ma
tional affairs, if a majority of the
delegates shall decline to permit the
committee to usurp functions not
properly belonging thereto.

Miss Hassie Taylor Accused of Making
Threats Against Former Boarder.

Hassie E. Taylor, dressmaker at 613 r
street northwest, was arrested by Detec-
tives Peck and Hewlett this morning on a
warrant issued from the court because of a
complaint made by Frank G. Lindsay, who
conducts grocery store at 1O01 NJ street
northwest. The defendant was taken be-
fore Judge Scott of the Police Court later
In the day and entered a plea of guilty to
the charge and was released on her per-
sonal bonds, with the understanding tina.
she Is not to repeat the offense during the
next six months.
The case was called to the attention of
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny yesterday
by Mr.. Lindsay and a warrant was order
ed. Lindsay said he had boarded at the
residence Of Miss Taylor for some time,
but recently gave up his room there. She
objected to him changing his boarding
house, he said, because she claimed he was
going to be married, and she declared that
the ceremony should not take place if she
could help 1t.
The prosecuting attorney was told that
Miss Taylor had visited a palmist and
asked that something be done to break
Lindsays love spell. The palmist, it is
said, declared that nothing could be done
in the matter, whereupon Miss Taylor is
said to have asked for something which
would make Lindsay i'll and prevent the
marriage.
1t is also said that Miss Taylor visited a
young lady residing in the southeast Sec
ton of the city with whom Lindsay kept
company and declared that she would in
jure them both If they were married
Notwithstanding that she pleaded guilty
to the charge when arraigned in court, Miss
Taylor denied to Prosecutor Mullowny that
she had done any of the things alleged
the young lady in question. She said she
had made no threats.

DEATH BY DROWNING.
Young Son of William G. Dwyer Loses
His Life in River,

A drowning accident occurred yesterday
afternoon about $50 o'clock at the foot of
1914 street, in which the victim was Charles
Dwyer. the seven-year-old son of William
G. Dwyer. assistant purser on the steamer
Norfolk. In company with several COM
panions. young Dwyer was playing about
the wharf, taking turns in running along a
plank which projected over the outer end
of the landing. Dwyer ran so fast on his
last trip that he was unable to stop when
the end of the plank was reached and he
went overheard. Assistance was sum-
moned by the others in the party and
George H. Brown, employed at Reagan
boathouse, responded. He lost no time in
getting into the water and the victim of the
accident was brought ashore.
There were no signs of life, but the Emer-
gency Hospital ambulance made a hurry-up
run to the river front and the body was re-
moved to the hospital, where the surgeons
resorted to artificial means Of respirat ton
but did not succeed in saving the boys life
Coroner hewitt viewed the body and gave a
certificate Of accidental death.

about to start for Norfolk when he heard
the news of the death. He went at once to

TESTS IN THE MODEL TANK
Trying to Settle on the Best Type OF
Scout Ships.

The model tank at the Washington navy
yard is being utilized for a series of in
teresting tests to determine the best type
Of scout ships for the navy. This action
is in pursuance of a recommendation made
by the board of naval construction in
dorsed by Secretary Moody, that several
comparatively light ships. to be known
as scouts" be built for service with the
different squadrons. These vessels will be
of from 1000 to 5000 tons displacement.
and with the highest practicable speed
probably about twenty-six knots. 1t is
desired that each of the fleets of heavy
and slow ships be provided with from two
to three scouts, able to cope with the big
liners Of a foreign nation in case Of war.
