TO SUCCEED CORTELYOU.

1t can be stated with definiteness thai
Representative Victor H. Metcalf, of the
Third California district, will succeed
Secretary George B. Cortelyou as the heao
of the Department of Commerce and La
bor
1t has been assumed for 10 days that
Mr.. Metcalf probably would be invited tc
accept the portfolio. The President holds
hi m in high esteem and for long time
he has been in closer touch with Mr.
Roosevelt than almost any other member
of the House of Representatives.
No change will be made in the depart
mcnt until the close of the present fiscal
year, June go Mr.. Cortelyou will con
clude the work of the year, as several mat
tiers of importance which he has initiated
are pending. 1t is his own desire and 1t is
the desire also of the President that Mr.
Cortelyou should finish this work before
he finally turns over the department to
his successor.
Victor Howard Metcalf was first elected
to the House of Representatives in the
Fifty sixth Congress, and has served con
t'nuously since While he represents a
California district in Congress, he is a Ma
tive of New York State, having been born
in Utica, October 10, 1858. He was grad
uated from the Utica Free Academy aud
from Russelrs Military Academy, New
Haven Conn. He entered the 1876 class
at Yale. During college vacations he stnd-
led law with Senator Francis Herman
and Horato and John F. Seymour. Leav-
ing Yale's academical department in his
junior year, he entered the Yale Law
school, being graduated in 1876. He was
admitted to practice in the Supreme Court
of Connecticut in June Of that year, and
in the Supreme Court of New York in
1876. After practicing law in Utica for
two years be moved to California, focat-
ing in Oakland He there formed part
nership with 6 eor ge D. Metcalf, the firm
style being Metcalf & Metcalf.

VICE-PRESIDENTS WHO
BECAME PRESIDENTS

OF the % persons who have been
elected Vice President of the United
States, about one-third of them, OF
eight. have attained the Presidential
office, either by subst quent election OF
by the death of the President, and
five of them died in office, says the
Baltimore Sun. Those who were
elected Vice President and were az
terward elected to the Presidency are
John Adams, who was Vice President
for two full terms, aud was then elect
ed President; Thomas J.fferson, who
was Vice President during the term OF
John Adams; Martin Van Buren,, who
was Y .ce- President in Andrew Jack
sons last term and was then elected
to succeed him. If Mr.. RoOsevelt's
electors should be elected, in Novem.
Der next that would add another to
the list.
Those who have gone into the Execu.
tive through the death of the Presi,
dent are John Tyler, who became
President upon the death of William
Henry Harrison about one month al
ter the latter was inaugurated, and SC
served nearly full term; Mlllard
Fillmore, who succeeded Zachary Tay.

auguration of Taylor; Andrew Jack

term but che n ontb; Chester A. Ar
thur, who succeeded James A. Gar
field aad served three and one halt
years, and Theodore Roosevelt, who
succeeded William Mckinley six
months after his second inauguration.
The Office of Vice President, indepen-
dent of the possibility OF succession
to the Presidency, has never in The
years past been considered an andesir-
able position. Except for those who
have extravsgant ideas. the salary OF
$4,000 year is most liberal one ior
a place which is regarded as almost a
sinecurc. 1t is the Constitutional du-
ty of the Vice President to preside
over the Senate, and that is his only
duty. AS he can take no part in the
debates and has no vote except in case
of tie, his presence in the Senate has
never been deemed necessary, except
wien that body is about equally dl-
vided politically, and that docs not
often happen. 1t is the custom for
the Senate to elect President pro
tenn, and he is more often on duty.

visit to the Isthmus of Panama, and
there to confer with the President and
other officials of the Panama republic
regarding questions arising out of the
posse sion by the United States of the
canal zone. The Secretary will leave
probably on November IA. He has al
ready selected to accompany him Minis
ter Obaldia, of the Panama republic, and
W. n. Cromwell, general counsel of the
New Panama Canal Company. The
Presidents instructions are in the form
of a letter to Secretary Taft in
which he outlines the policy Of Sthe
United States government on the 18TH
mus. The determination to send Sec
letary Taft to Panama was arrived at
after n personal consultation between
the President and the Secretary of
State together with Secretary Taft.
Despite Minister Blrrett's assurances for
publication that the relations between
the United States and the new republic
were of most friendly character and
that the differences over the question of
customs duties and canal zone were in
process of adjustment, it now develops
that the situation has been barely averted,
The feeling in Panama against the Unit
ed States has been most bitter and has
even gone so far as to accession threats
Of dynamiting the canal and resorting
to other violent methods of expressing
the disapproval of the people at the at
titude of the United States.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCT. 10. 1904.

LAST SUNDAY was the third anniver-
sary of the famous "possum dinner at
the White House, Booker Washington
having, upon the Presidents invitation,
dined October l6, 1901, at Mr. Roose-
volts table, and with him. 1t was great
ly deplored in the South at the time, and
every white man, certainly every one
claiming to be democrat, fully realized
that it would make race issue as harm
tul to the negroes as it was distasteful to
the whites. Singular as it may be, the
President found few apOlogists in the
South. those former democrats who held
Office under the present administration
and few others who had been promised
Office, or expected Office. Replying to
the criticisms of this episode the Presi-
dents southern defenders said it was
mere incident of WashingtOn's visit,
and being an educated man he was only
asked to lunch. The dead Mckinley
had not been in his grave month, yet
his successor with the dream OF empire
had begun the construction of the steps
which would lead to the throne. TIE
Booker Washington dinner was the first,
and the negro vote corralled and held that
it might settle the election in several close
States. quickly followed. The Crum ap-
pointment, the IndianOla postofhce clos
ing, the negro lawyer Cummings speech
at Chicago, and the disgusting parading
of a white girl and negro boy in the re-
publican convention at Chicago, each
emphasize the position Of the Roosevelt
following that will stop at nothing to
retain power. The current news Is in

emigrants on board, has sunk off the coast
of Spain, in a storm, is given no Gre
dence here. The Cunard line officials
have no news of any disaster to any Of

that large liner from an Adriatic port

been lost, was current week ago, but
received no credence at the time, as no
details were then available, and none
have since been obtained. 1t is thought
