 today, as they have every day this week, interviews with prominent Republicans, showing that they endorsed the nomtna- ton of President Roosevelt.
 Today's talks with Teddy's tribesmcn have the same monotonous note of the others. that there Is nobody elss to con- sider and that their people are for the President.
 The sincerity of these declarations are discounted in private conversation by not only the demeanor but the words of the majority of those interviewed.
 The most extraordinary of all the doc- larations that have yet come from the White House and one which all parties have laughed at as though 1t were a great stroke of humor from Roosevelt. notw1th- standing the impending perils of his for- tune, is the grave assertion that he has been too busy with public affairs to give any thought to his nomination by the con- vention next June.
 The Hanna people have delighted in re- calling how the President last year tel- egraphed from walla Walla, Washington State, and forced word from the Ohio Senator as to where he stood.
 They recollect Mir. Roosevelt's utter failure to conceal his anxiety that the Ohio Convention should endorse hirn.
 They have not forgotten how he has kept in intimate touch with every Reppb- lIcan Convention that has been held since he went into the White House.
 They have borne In mind how vigorous ly he has had the black and tans of the South. under the lead of his referees. lined up and the whole hungry lot of ofIice seekers show whether they were for him or against him.
 They have seen how the Lily Whites | vxaa@f fs.s rorized. They have absorbed nothing oE the politics of today % soatingly and dis tressfully as the constant. unresting activ- ity of President, RooseRait in beilalf ot his own nomination for President,
 Consequently no class of people can possibly have a k8enef appreciation of the grim humor of Mir. Rooaevslt's solemn declaration that he has given no thought to what the National Convention intends to do for him than the Hannaites and Lily Whites.
 Plan for Holiday Adjournment.
 The Congressional leaders plan to ad- 1ourn for the holidays Tuesday. Decem- Der 9. taking @ recess until TueCday, January 5. It had been supposed that Congress would adjourn next Saturday, but as the Cuban reciprocity bill win not be voted upon till Wednesday, the time that would remain before recess, accord ing to that program, would not be suffi- icent. it was thought, for the discussion of some of the resolutions before the Senate. notably those of Mr. Hoar and MT. Culberson on Panama.
 Affairs are moving so rapidly in that quarter of the globe that much might happen during fortnight's recess, and the Senate leaders have no desire to stifie the discussion of this subject by so early an adjournment after the Cuban matter, which now monopolizes attention, is dis- posed of.
 The House will accordingly pass the necessary resolution the Monday before Christmas, and the Senate will promptly approve.
 Congress will thus have been in session by January 5, nearly two months, having accomplished about the amount of busi- ness often transacted in a day in the rush preceding it's March adjournment.
