Is 1t fact that the President is
trying to arrange the situation in his
party so that ex-Secretary Of War
Root will be nominated to succeed
him? 1t is known. of course, that he
has great admiration and respect for
Mr.. Root. and it has been stated in
the public prints that he would like
to see him occupying the place of
chief executive Of the nation, but there
has been no statement as yet that he
was planning to make him his success
sor.
II Is an open secret that Vice Presi-
dent-elect Fairbanks is laying wires to
capture the nomination in 1908, and
doubtless he has many supporters In
the West, but from present indications
he isn't in the line of succession.
At the annual dinner of the New
England Society in New York on
Thursday night, ex-Judge Henry How
land, in the course OF his speech, at
tracted a great deal of attention by
practically naming Mr.. Root as Presf-
call Mr.. Roots name. What ne said,
after some remarks leading up to it,
was this: TT is not necessary for me
to mention that leader of our Ameri-
can bar who-shall l say it?-may be
our next President and may give us
our ideals OF national life" Were
Judge Howland's remarks relative to
the next Republican candidate for
President simply an expression Of his
own views, or were they the expression
Of the Republican leaders of New
York? That is question that was
commented on considerably at the din
ner at which Judge Howland's speech
was made. and it is being commented
on quite generally now.

how she could get to her destination,
far out in the country. You'll have

said the man. You can't get any rig

inquired the young lady. There's
nothing here but the station and I

1t is impossible to lose sight of the
fact that New York is the greatest
market for gold bricks in the world.
In the big papers of New York last
Sunday there appeared various dis
played advertisements advising people
that the advertisers would be pleased
to inform prospective investors how to
buy or sell stocks, on the payment of
a certain small fee. Other ADVERTISE
ments asserted that straight tips' on
the races could be had for small fees.
In both cases certain profits were
promised. OF course IL the tipsters
had inside" information they would
play the markets and the races for
their own benefit. Nothing could In
duce them 70 take the public into
their confidence. And yet in New
York there are tens of thousands OF
suckers" who will bite at the bats
thus thrown out by the tipsters. And
the fools and their money are soon
parted

Capt. Jensen Of the bark Silicon has
just returned to Philadelphia from a
cruise in Greenland waters. He says
that in the neighborhood of Vigitut
bay he encountered a race of men
seven. eight and even nine feet tall.
In color and contour OF features they
are ike American Indians. They have
a language of their own, and know
zlothing Of the Esquimaux tongue.
They were able to express themselves
very clearly to Capt. Jensen by means
Of signs. They told him that they
had come from their homes in the
distant north. and had been driven
out by great storms and cold wealth
er. The report of this race Of giants
to the northward will doubtless slim
ulate the energies Of Arctic explor-
ers.

st. Petersburg, April 14.-While go
Port Arthur the first-class Russian
battleship Petropavlovsk was sunk.
One report says she struck mine in
the outer roadstead, keeled over turn
ed turtle and sank Practically the
whole of her crew, numbering about
800 men, were lost. Only four officers
were saved, among them being Grand
Duke Cyril The Petropavlovsk was
flying tie flag of Vice Admiral Maka-
rolf
Grand Duke Cyril was only saved
from death by miracle. His brother,
Grand Duke Boris, witnessed the cat
astrOphe through a marine glass 1t
is officially announced that the Rus
sian vice admiral Makaroff, was
drowned when the Petropavlovsk was
destroyed.
The mass of reports agree in three
statesments-that Grand Duke Cyril,
between whom and the throne there is
only a single life, was wounded; that
the Petropavlovsk was lost, and that
Vice Admiral Makaroff persisted.
The Petropavlovsk, which had twice
previously been reported damaged in
Japanese attacks on Port Arthur, was
a f1rst-class battlesAip of 1O,96O tons
displacement and 14,213 Indicated
horsepower.
The following official dispatch has
been received here from Rear Admir-
al Grigorovitch, the comamndant at
Port Arthur, addressed to the emper-
or:

peared. 1t is thought possible that
Vice Admiral Togo planned an ambus-
cade by sending in small squadron
in the hope of drawing out the Russian
commander to the open and then cut
ting off his escape.
1t is learned that the location of six
of the mines planted by the Yenesei
were unknown, the charts having been
lost when that vessel went down.
Probably it was one of these mines
that the Petropavlovsk struck. Vice
Admiral Makaroff's death is really a
greater loss than would be that of sew
eral battleships. He was the pride of
the navy and enjoyed the implicit con-
f1dence of his sovereign as well as of
the officers and men of the service
Speaking of his death, officials here
all remS -ked upon the strange fatal
ity that he should lose mis- life on a
heavily armored battleship. to which
he had a particular aversion. Yester-
day morning, for the first time he rails
ed his flag on a battleship. Previous
ly he had gone out on board the cruis
er Novik or the cruiser Askold 1t was
at the urgent request of his friends
that he did not risk his life in this
fashion and transferred his flag to the
Petropavlovsk. 1t is now an open Sc
cret that Vice Admiral Makaroff was
not anxious to resign his command
of Cronstadt to go to the far East, this
necessitating his leaving his wife and
family, but the emperor held such
high opinion of him that he declined to
consider other candidates, although it
was pointed out that Rear Admiral
Rojestvensky, chief of the general
staff of the navy, who has just been
appointed to command the Baltic
squadron, and who is now destined to
succeed Makaroff, as well as others,
were anxious to distinguish them
selves.
The emperor in his summons to
Vice Admiral Makaroff, said "My
choice has fallen upon you and / will
not take a REFUSAL and SO the adj
miral went to the far East. The en-
peror's sorrow is doubly keen on this
account

THE PHILIPPINES
Again Engage the Attention CT the

Washington, April 14.-Under a spe-
cial rule the house devoted itself to
consideration of a bill amending the
law relating TO the Philippine Islands.
The provision in the bill in reference
to the granting of railroad franchises
and the guaranteeing of 5 per cent on
the cash capital actually invested in
such railroads was opposed by Mr..
Jones of Virginia, who alleged that
British and Belgian capitalists were
ready to build the roads without such
guarantee. Messrs. Cooper of Wiscon-
sin and Crumpacker of Indiana, in urg-
ing the passage of the bill, declared
that it properly safeguarded the inter
ests of the Philippines. The senate
has begun consideration of the bill
providing for the government of the
Panama canal zone.

ties company illegal, added materially
to its holdings of Northern Pacific and
Great Northern stock with the inten-
ton of retaining control of these

cree was handed down. The argu-
ments attracted a great attendance

THE GAR MoURNs
Death Of His FaVorlte Admiral a Blow
to Russia's Ruler.

to Russia's Ruler.
st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE awful
disaster to the battleship Petropav-
lovsk at Port Arthur with the loss of
almost her entire crew of over 500
men and the death of Wee Admiral
Makaroff has been a terrific blow 1t
would have fallen less heavily If the
ship and the commander-in-chief of the
feet had been lost in battle, but to be
the result of another accident follow
ing on the heels of a succession of
tragedies of which the Port Arthur
feet has been the victim, has created
something like CONSERVATION.
"Reverses we can endure" said a
prominent Russian, "but to have the
Petropavlovsk meet the fate of the
Yensei and the Boyarin is heartbreak-
ing" Besides, it has just become
known that the battleship Poltava sew
eral weeks ago had a hole rammed in
her by the battIeship Sevastopol while
the latter was maneuvering in the har-
Dor of Port Arthur.
The day has been one of intense ex-
citement in st. Petersburg. The first
linking of the catastrophe leaked out
on the receipt of telegram by Grand
Duke Vladimir from his son, Grand
Duke Boris, announcing the loss OF the
Petropavlovsk and the .wounding of
Grand Duke Cyril, who was first Off
Ger. The Grand Duchess Vladimir was
almost frantic on the receipt of the
telegram, being convinced that the
message was only a precursor of worse
news. as it was signed by Grand Duke
Boris instead of by the aide to Grand
Duke Cyril, Lieutenant Won Kube
Lieutenant Won Kube had gone down
with the ship.
Confirmation of the dread news
came two hours later In a message to
the emperor from Rear Admiral Orig
orovitch, the commandant at Port Ar
thur. A religious service was imme-
diately held at Grand Duke Vladimir's
