ROOSEVELT HAS NOW MADE
PEACE WITH WALL STREET

Washington, January 4-(Special)-The
beginning of the new and the national
election year finds the friends Of the pres
ident much concerned over Wall street
conditions and its attitude to the Roose-
welt administration.
After advertising itself for the last two
years as the enemy of trusts and Wall
street the administration has suddenly
discovered that it did not pay and has
decided not only to make treaty of
peace with Wall street but to do all in its
power in the future to help Wall street
along and give it all the aid possible for
a winter and spring boom in stocks.
Leading bankers and brokers In New
York have been given every assurance re-
Gently yz-hy friends of the administration
that absolutely nothing would be done
here in washington either by the execu-
tive or legislative department of the gov
ernment to prejudice the business inter
ests of the country An ex-high official
cial circIs in New York was here last
week in conference with leading officials.
He returned to New York new years
eve and gave the tip to his friends that
there would be nothing doing" in Wash
ington against the trusts for some time
to come If ever again. This straight in
formation has inspired the Wall street

In stocks can be expected In the near fu-
ture. The purpose of the President ana
his friends Is to give those who have suf-
fered such severe losses in the street to
recover some of their lost mony. This,
1t is reasoned will put them in better
humor with the President and they Will
feel less like fighting him.
But the trouble about this plan, said
prominent Washington banker today,
"is that nearly all of the men who have
lost their wealth in the market have no
money left to margin stocks and they
will be more maddened than ever when
they see stocks go up and are powerless
to buy them.
The first public indication OF the
changed attitude of the administration
towards the trusts Is column artiee
In the Evening Star Of today. The Star
IS the Washington mouth piece of the
President and is contrantly lauding him.
The article today is headed, NO Men
ace" and details what the new depart
ment of commerce and labor will not do
against the trusts The following sig
nificant paragraph occurs in the semi
official statement:
1.-The affairs of the bureau are still In
such shape that test of the law Will
probably not be made for many months
to come The bureau was given force
which has made 1t possible to employ
only twenty men on the work OF compil-
ing and classifying information on all
subjects affecting its future course
Within the next sixty days the Roose-
welt administration will surrender uncon-
ditionally to Wall street and the trusts.

IOWA CAPITOL Is
MASS OF DEBRIS
FIRE CLEANED OUT NORTHWEST
WING OF THE BUILDING, EN-
FAILING LOSS OF ,ooo-oRIe-
MATED IN COMMITTEE ROOM.

Des Moines, Ia, January 4.-Fire today
cleaned out the northwest wing of the
Iowa capitol, causing loss OF s500000.
The chamber of the house of representa-
tives is a charred mass or debris and
cannot be repaired In time for the ,.p-
preaching session of the legislature. The
fire originated near a shaft In a commit
tee room, presumably from an electric
light wire and spread upward and all
around the ceiling of the chamber.
The fire department was nindered In
fighting the flames by the height of the
building and the elevation of the capitol.
The north gallery of the house chamber
fell with crash the debris injuring two
firemen and endangering the lives of sew
eral.
Governor Cummins. clad In rubber boots
and rough coat, fought the fire, which fin
ally burned itself out.
The Iowa capitol cost 100000. The
building was supposed to be fire proof,
but the use of several false ceilings fur
nished material for the flames.

Torpedo Boat Damaged.

Key West. Fla, January Awhile the
steamship Olivette WIS coming into the
harbor from Havana Thursday evening,
she ran into and badly damaged the tor
pedo boat Lawrence. The torpedo boat
was lying In midstream when the Oil
vette struck her The fact that the tide
was changing and the torpedo boat was
swung around, when she was struck,
saved her from sinking. 1t is estimated
that the damage will amount to several
thousand dollars. and it will take some
months to repair the boat.

COAL SUBJECT TO

DUTY OF 67 CENTS A TON, WHICH
WAS REMOVED DURING 1908,
WAS REPLACED LAST FRIDAY
AS DURING 1902.

Washington, January 4.-(Special) Be
ginning last Friday, January l, coal went
back under the Dingley tariff rates to
sixty-seven cents ton. The duty was re-
moved through democratic agitation,
backed by public sentiment during the
great coal strike. Like many other sche-
dulles of the Dingley act, the tax on coal
is absolutely indefensible. 1t Is estimated
that about three million tons were i'm
ported during the last year-coai then be-
ing on the free list-as against about
one million, five hundred thousand tons
in 1902 when coal paid sixty-seven cents

must inevitably have that effect. AS 1or
himself, he could see the President JON
hands with the Panama conspirators, not
without sorrow, but without shame, SO
he was not one of those who bend the
p,Sgnant hinges of the knee, that thrift
may follow fawning."
Nicaragua viii Yet Be Route.
He predicted that even though the
government of the United States shonid
undertake the construction of the Pan
ANA canal a canal would be first built
over the Nicaragua route, because OF It's
superior feasibility.
He again referred to President McKin~
ley,s attitude towards the canal routes
and declared that Nicaragua has a bet
ter friend in the grave of William NC
Kinley than Panama has in the present
head of the American army and navy.
He asserted that the present effort to
secure democratic votes for the treaty
was a republican expedient to defeat any
canal and aid the Presidents campaign
for election to another term.
IF there are democrats who think the
best way to defeat the republicans is to
follow their Lead he said, II must still
remain an obstinate man of one idea,
as I have been charged, and stand by
that rather than be led or driven into
commercial practices in politics, or into
political gambling with the laws, as
pawns on the chess board, to be moved
back and forth at the will of the player,
with the use of the army and navy, in
unlawful war to give spectacular effect
to the leader of a campaign for the pres
idency.''

Mr.. Morgan Speaks.


Mr.. Morgan said that the message of
the President today contained no new
recommendation.
1T seems to be an argument against
the resolutions and remarks of the senior
senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar),
and of remarks of senators on this side
of the chamber"
He (Morgan) might yield in his judg-
ment that no ship could ever pass
through the Isthmus of Panama, but he
could not assist in the breaking down of
our fixed policy of neutrality between
belligerents, or in enlarging the dipo-
matte powers of the President by con-
struction, until they reached the whole
stage of usurpation on the part of the
executive.
Mr.. Morgan said that his colleagues
from the south could not fail to see that
the Presidents attitude was intended to
force them to vote for the Panama
route. As for himself, he was not OPP
posing the President on slight ground,
but because he believed the course of
the President to be such as to threaten
the integrity of the United States. He
argued that according to precedents, the
de facto government of Panama has no
right to transfer territory, but he de-
clared that the President knew that only
by his recognition of Panama could he
that in the prospect of securing this ac-
QUESTION was found the only motive for
the Presidents recognition.
He said that instead of the uprising
being that as of one man, as declared
by the President, it had been an upris-
Ing of eight men, who for months had
been In conspiracy against the real peo-
pie of Panama He declared that Presi-
dent Roosevet's interference in Colom-
TO- aff fof icf1,
flied by the constitution, and asserted
that If there was to be a general policy
on the part of the United States of up
holding civilization, that policy must be
undertaken by congress, and mot left
to blazon the lance of some individual
American Sancho Panza to be thrust
into the bosom of friendly power"
Would Not Ratify Wrong Done.
For one, he would not vote to ratify
the wrong done by the President, who,
he added, desires this ratification to
justify what he and the Panama junta
have done.
And for that purpose said Mr.. Nor
gan, "he wants the assistance of three
democratic senators to do what he and
his party cannot do
Mr.. Morgan had an article read from
Paris paper, printed last September,
and of which Mr.. Morgan said Minister
Bunau-Varil1a was the author. The ar
ticle purported to outline the Presidents
plans with reference to the Panama
canal. That article, Mr.. Morgan, de-
clared was a correct forecast of the mes
sage which today had been sent to the
senate.
How" he asked, "did that inflated
Freedman become possessed Of the secret
of the Presidents policy. If not through
the President himself?
He appealed to the senate to stand by
the Spooner law and declared that the
Presidents course was as If he were
above the law. That law is,'' he said.
'sin the way of his personal ambition and
he spurns 1t with contemptuous indiffer-
ence."
He said the ratification of the treaty
would repeal the appropriation made by
the Spooner act, and he warned the south
ern senators that votes for the treaty

DR.. Howard of This City Was First
Speaker Today,

SHREVEPORT La, December 13-Dr
l.. o. Howard of the bureau of entomology,
Department of Agriculture, Washington, d.
c., was the first speaker at the boil weevl
convention today. He said he was here to
personally represent Secretary Wilson, who
was taking a great interest in the deibera-
tions of the body. The Secretary would
have been present. but he thought that the
best interests of the cotton farmers would
be better subserved by his remaining in
Washington to make an effort to secure a
large appropriation to be used in fighting
the boil weevil
DR.. Howard reviewed the history of the
boil weevil since its first appearance in the
southern cotton fields, and said the paper
to be read by DIR. W. D. Hunter of the gov
ernment bureau would explain fully the
work done by the department.
DR.. Hunter followed DR.. Howard, his
paper being listened to with marked at
tention.
DIR. William C. Stubs, director of the
Louisiana experiment station, next address
ed the convention. He said he had been MS
quoted in saying the infected area in Texas
should cease planting cotton. He reviewed
the work of the state staff in attempting to
destroy the weevil in Louisiana and efforts
to prevent its further spread.

THE TRIAL OF sAsoNEFF.
Begun Today Behind Closed Doors
Military Guard.

ST. PETERSBURG, December 13.-The
trial of Sasoneff, who assassinated In
terror Minister Won Plehve in July last,
and Of Sikorifsky, his accomplice, began
behind closed doors before the court of
appeals in the law courts building today.
Extraordinary precautions were taken to
prevent the threatened demonstration of
the revolutionary organization. All the
entrances to the building were locked
and guarded, and only persons who could
produce summonses were admitted. Even
members of the bar were treated as out
siders Large police reserves were sta
court yards of the ordnance factory oppo-
site, while mounted gendarmie patroled
the front and sides of the building.
Toward noon, the hour set by the proc
Iamation, several battalions of infantry,
as if by accident, marched through the
adjoining streets, and exactly at IL a
company with band of music at it's
head, playing, strangely enough, The
Stars and Stripes, Forever" swung
through a cross street. The grim effect
of the fixed bayonets was enough to deter
the crowds of students and workmen
streaming along the sidewalks, and no
yestige of disturbance occurred.
In the meantime the accused had been
brought to the court room from the adjoin-
Ing prison thI ough rear door. The bench
appointed to try the case consisted OF
President Senator Maximovich and four as
sociate judges, Selivanoff. Wilken. Delaroh
