 Washington, Jan. g. House Republicans have been making speeches every day lately exalting the administration for its independence and superiority with reference to Wall Street. But, nevertheless, there are indications that Mir. Roosevelt does not intend, if he can help It, rashly to permit that ifl- pression to prevail where 1t would do the most harm.
 That is why today it is an unusually interesting fact that a Wall Street mag nate has been received and dined at the White House with that exuberance of hospiality which is salient character istic of MT. Roosevelt with those whom he welcomes to his board.
 He has dined more persons, lunch sd more different kinds and races. than any President of the United States.
 But they do say that nobody has becn received as a guest within the executive portals with 50 much unfeigned delight by the chief executive host as the visiting Wall Street magnate. James Stiliman, the President of the National City Bank of New York. MT. Stillman has several. times seen the President and has diEed with the family" Naturally. the DO. litical gossips are animated over the in- cident and are curiously watching the movements of MT. Stillman, who is the guest. while in Washington, of Senator Depew.

FoRSAKES OLD NAME.
New York Commercial Advertiser
 Announces a Change.


 New York, Jan. 2s.-The Commercial Advertiser announces this afternoon that beginning on February 1 it will be sold for cent instead of cents and that its name will be changed to The Globe and Commercial Advertiser.
 The change is of historic interest In that the name Commercial Advertiser has been used for 107 years. The publishers say that it is reluctantly subordinated be- cause in these days of trade Journalism it is misleading to persons unfamiliar with the scope of the paper. The short alternative title is also intended to ac- commodate the newsboys who object to using two long, cumbersome words.
 This editorial comment is made:
 ''The majority of people are inclined to buy the lowest priced papers, fact of which the sensational press, especially in the evening field, has been quicker to take advantage than that part of the press which adheres to the old standards of accuracy and intelligence. The Com merclal Advertiser purposes now to make accessible to every one thoroughly com prehensive newspaper which enterprising and fearless is at the same time truth full. enlightened and invariably interest ing"
