But this is not enough We should take every

American people
In the light of these facts. no anxiety has been
felt at the White House regarding the proofs
which Mr.. Parker promised to present tonight
The President knows. of course, that no con-
spiracy was entered into between Mr.. Cortelyou
and himself, and. existing, none can be
proved. He knows, too. that the american peo-
pie will be quick to resent Parkers Tricky con-
cealment of the ground for his charges uhtli the
last hours of the campaign.
That the Republican National Commttee mas
accepted contributions from corporations has
been frankly admitted by the president, ana,
more in detail, by ex-Secretary Root. 1t Is also
known that Cornelius n. Bliss, George '. l.;
Never and Charles G.. Dawes have solicited ana
raised all the funds for this years campaign, out
the one point. the gravamen OF ms entire accusa-
ton which Parker will be absolutely unable 10
prove is that there has been the slightest sus-

authorized to speak for the national committee
or that any trust corporation, interest or lndl-
vidual has received any pledge expressed Oh
implied in return for any campaign cohtrlDu-

PROOFS DEMANDED.
Parker Must Produce Them or
Stand C0nvicted Of SEQndcr.
IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.

Washington. Nov. ct is the opinion Of the
highest judicial authorities in Washington that
Judge Parker must present the most indubitable
proof Of an actual conspiracy between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Mr.. Corteyou to blackman
the trusts to grant them special favors or
improper immunities in order to escape the
charge that he has wilfully and shameIessy
slandered the President of the United States
and the chairman of the Republican National
Committee. Mere proof thai the Republican
National Committee has accepted contributions
from the trusts and other corporations Just as
the Democratic committee has done, cannot sub
stantiate the charges which Mr. Parker has re-
lterated with such reckless extravaganza He
must cite specific instances and adduce unuues-
tonable proof of their authenticity
The fact that Judge Parker has suppressed
his alleged proofs until within forty hours
Of the election, however is regarded as nracti-
cally demonstrating that he had no evidence
which. even in his own estimation, wouIS stand
the test of careful scrutiny and that ne boned

hours Of the campaign, TO palm off on the
American people specious proof" which could
be promptly refuted did time permit and ,,b,ct,
IN the hurry of the moment would deceive his
hearers No other reason can he ascrfbed for
his postponement until this late hour Of rba
testimony with which he alleged he could Aetab-
lish the fact of such infamy on the part Of The
Republican candidate for the Presidency Eor
these reasons, whatever evidence" Ju1ga
Parker may submit tonight must he received
with skepticism and subjected to the most RIO
orous analysis before 1t could be accepted even
by his own friends. in support of the grave
charges which he has so flippantly preferred
II is generally assumed that Judge Parker
hopes, by raising cloud of dust at the eleventh
hour, TO disguise the fact that he lacks couvinc-
ing evidence in support Of his ISLANDERS. and

his case cannot be generally exposed, or such

ton that the corporations have been black

CANADIAN WINTER
UNUSUALLY SEVERE
Suffering Among Hunters
and Log Drivers.
40 DEGREES BELOW ZERO
Fishing One Of the Chief Industries on
the Streams of Georgian
Bay.

Canada has never experienced a Sc
verer winter than that now passing,
according to William Small, United
States consul at Collingwood. who has
just arrived In Washington TO spend a
leave of absence at his former home
after an absence of several years.
Mr.. SmaUs consulate is situated at
one Of the most important fishing and
lumber shipping points in Canada. Col
lingwOod is on Georgian Bay. about
ninety miles from Toronto. Mr.. Small
said:
THE winter undoubtedly has been
one of record breaking severity, and L
understand that considerable suffering
among the log drivers. hunters, and
trappers and the poorer classes was
caused on account of their exposure 10
the bitter weather and the difficulty In
securing supplies. This would apply
especially TO the wOodsmen, who de-
pend much on the game they XIII for
their food Forty degrees below zero in
certain parts of Canada has not been
unusual this winter. and al Collingwood
have known 1t to go % below repeat
edly. There was SIX Teet of snow on the
ground IN the vicinity Of nay home when
1 left.
Rivers have been frozen almost con
stantly. and traffic on the rivers and by
have been several bIockades Of long du-
ration. It would seem that the supply
OF fish which Canada sends 10 the United
States would have been lessened also
by the cold weather but l understand
that the fishermen got in their work
early and were able to realize good
pronts before the waters We're all frozen.
From Georgian Bay thousands OF
tons of whitehsh were shipped to Chi
cagO and Buffalo. the two great mar
keJs in the United States for this form
Of sea food. Salmon trout were also
caught in quantities early in the season
Fishermen had to break great holes in
the ice in order to catch their prey-ais
all important matter with them, since
It IS upon the sale Of these fish that
many Of them depend to tide themselves
through the long winter. Oldest inhabi-
tants say they cannot recall such a
frOzen-in season"

USE Of DYNAMITE
UPON ICE GORGE
HarbOrmaster Directed to
Employ Explosive.
HAS AN EXCELLENT EFFECT
Pack Above Aqueduct Bridge Now Be
lieved to Be Under Control and
Flood Rendered Impossible.

District Commissioner mcfarland this
morning authorized Harbormaster SUIT
ton to use 200 pounds of dynamite IN
large charges for the purpose Of break
ing the ice gorge in the Potomac River
above the Aqueduct Bridge. Besides the
200 pounds to be used today, Commodore
Sutton was directed to use the same
amount tomorrow.
This was done in view OF the admir-
able results of the dynamite used yes
terday. The gorge has been materially
Iessened. and large portions of it We're
dislodged by every charge Of the explo-
sive. enabling the three tugs stationed
at that point to break UP the ice into
smaller sections before it fioated down
stream.
Costs SIS a Day.
The total cost of this method of dis
lodging the ice dam viii be S125. or S45
a day. This includes the price OF the
explosive. and the compensation for the
expert employed to set off the charges.
This money is drawn from the $1,000 ap-
preparation recently made by Congress
for the destruction Of the fee
Had not such material progress been
already made in the work the probable
ity of a flood would have been great on

score. but the general opinion is that
