HIS ONLY AMBITION.
Mr.. Cannon Wants to Be Reelected
Speaker-No Vice Presidential
Honors for Him.

Washington, May 4.-"Even at the
risk of being accused of declining that
which probably could not get, if de-
sired it, l answer most unequivocally
that if the nomination were rendered to
me l would not accept it under any cir
cumstances whatever" Thus strongly
did Speaker Cannon in an authorized
interview with Post reporter Tuesday
emphasize his determination with ref
erence to the vice presidency. AS he
concluded debating what he had to say,
the speaker added: ''If there is any Lam
guage which can be more decisive, write
1t in"
"What are your reasons for such a
statement?" he was asked, and replied:
II have been for almost 80 years a
member of the national house of repre-
sentatives. l may say my life work has
been in connection with legislation in
the house. l have been renominated by
the republicans of the congressional dis
trict in which reside, and have ac-
cepted the nomination. l have every
reason to hope shall be reelected"
eff the republicans have a majority in
:henexthouse Representatives" he con-
tinued, "of which in my judgment there
is no reasonable doubt, will be candi-
date to succeed myself as speaker. If,
perchance, however, the republicans
should not have a majority in the next
house, 1 will take my place on the floor
and give the best service it is in my power
to give to the minority. In my iudg-
ment can do better service in my ca
pacity as member of the house of rep
resentatives than can do elsewhere"

WORKING ON THE PLATFORM.
Republican Leaders Busily Engaged
in Framing Declaration of
Principles.

Washington, May 4.-The platform
to be adopted by the republican ma
tional convention has been among the
topics discussed at the conferences
which have taken place recently at
the white house, in committee rooms
at the capitol and at different resi-.
dences where number of republicans
have been assembled. Senator Lodge,
who is slated for chairman of the com.
mittee on resolutions at the conven-
tion, has prepared preliminary
sketches Of various topics that he
thinks should be treated and has sub.
mitted them to senators and others
for their approval or suggestion as to
amendment 1t is expected that be-.
fore the convention meets complete
platform will be prepared which will
have the approval of the president.
The principal feature of the plat.
form will be the tariff plank, which
will declare in the strongest terms the
adherence of the republican party to
the principles of protection, but will
not bind the party not to revise the
tarll1. III Will say that the party is not
committed to any schedule, but that
changes should be made only when
changed conditions of business or the
treasury render it necessary or advis-
able. Persons present at the recent
conferences say it already has been
agreed that the tariff will be revised
in the Fifty ninth congress if the re-
publicans win in November.
There is at present a determination
to make the platform as brief as pos
sihle, consequently the Endorsement Of
the administration and the acts of the
party will be put in compact form.
This Endorsement will be a general ap-
prevail Of the course of the president
and of the actions of the republicans
in congress,

Use for Cacti.

One of the successful specialties of
modern civilization is it's utilization of
waste products. Texas is going a step
further. She has found that one of her
waste products heretofore regarded as
not only negatively useless, but positive
ly vicious, can be made use of, and may
possibly in the years to come be CAREFUL
ly cultivating it. The cactus that grows
so abundantly in parts of Texas and the
adjoining territories has until quite re-
Gently been regarded as useless, and not
even of slight value as means of fer
tilizing. Now, however, from being a
nuisance and one Of the plaques of the
semitropical regions of the United
States, it has been turned into source
OF wealth. By crushing and cooking the
cactus in its own juice, it has been dis
covered that the plant makes excellent
fodder for cattle, rivaling in value al

PLANTS HAVE HYSTERlA.
Certain Species Have Nerves That
Are as Sensitive as Those
Of Human Beings.

Science claims to have discovered that
plants have nerves, and that some
species are irritable and nervous to a
marked degree. The peculiar phenom-
ena are not new, for the poets have sung
OF the sensitive plants plaintive actions
when played upon by the rough wind
and of the mimosa' S fright when crushed
or broken by some strange foot; but
these were supposed to be merely fig
ures of speech, and no one believed that
the song makers had such insight as to
discover that plant organisms were gift
ed with nerve centers and brain cells.
Science has worked out the fact, how
ever, says the New York Times, that the
poets were nearer the truth than we
gave them credit for, and that certain
species of our common woodland
erowths possess nerves that can be
played upon by the east wind as readily
as those which affiict mankind. The
sensitive plant leads all others in this
respect. But what we considered innate
modesty at being handled is nothing
more than irritable nerves. The genus
Mlmosa comprises about 200 species,
and most of these exhibit peculiarly ir-
ritable natures if touched or handled in
the wrong way. The Mimosa pudica, the
botanical name for the sensitive plant,
is so highly organized that it is kept in
a state of neurasthenia most of the time.
A puff of wind, the tramping of heavy
feet near it, or the rude touch of the
hand, will cause this plant to so off into
nervous Mysteries. The exciting noise
or commotion strikes the nerves of the
plant and causes it to close up or iroop
its leaves. Hundreds of sensitive plants
have been diagnosed in the modern bio
logical laboratories, and the observers of
the plants have traced the nerve centers
to their foundation.
In some of the plants the ends of the
nerves have been located. Thus if Mi
mosa pudica is touched with ever so fine
point at the base of a pima or along
its axis, the most remote pair of leaves
will SILVER and begin to close. Finally,
when all the leaves have closed, the
pima which has been touched will
droop. The shock has been so great
that the whole nervous system has been
temporarily disarranged. However,
like all nervous, irritable people, there
is point beyond which fright reacts and
control Of the system begins to mani
fest itself. If the sensitive plant is
shaken for some time it gets over it's
attack of neurasthenia and some of the
leaves will begin to open again.
The most sensitive place of the plant
Is at the base of the secondary leaf
stalks, where an immense number of
nervous corpuscles or delicate tissues
are located.

WHEN PEACE COMES in ASIA
Neither Russia Nor Japan May Be
Allowed to Dictate What
Terms Shall Be.

'"There is little doubt that the pres
ent struggle, if other nations do not in
terfere, will be bitter one" says Gen.
Francis Vinton Greene in the war num-
Der of the Worlds Work, "but should
Russia gain really decisive victory,
as she did over Turkey in 1878, she
would seek to make Japan mere Rus
sian province, filled with splendid har-
bors and forming a magnificent outpost
for the coast of the orient Should
Japan gain such victory over Russia,
she would wish to drive Russia entire
ly away from the Pacific coast, establish
herself on the mainland and put herself
at the head OF the far eastern races.
Neither will be allowed to do what
1t wishes. Wars are not ended in that
way in these days, but in such way
as the great nations think proper. In
her last war Russia had Turkey at her
mercy, but she was obliged to tear up
the treaty she had made at San Stefano
and to submit to such terms as the nom
combatant nations saw fit to allow at
Berlin. And in her last war Japan in
flicted signal defeat upon China and
dictated the terms Of peace in the treaty
of Shimonoseki, which was ratified on
May 8, 1895. But only two days later,
at the dictation of Russia, Germany and
France, the Japanese emperor signed a
document in which he renowned and
gave up the chief advantages he had
gained by that treaty. Similarly now,
it is quite certain that Japan will not
become Russian province, nor will
there be any yellow peril under the
leadership of Japan, for, no matter
which side wins, the treaty Of peace will
be made, not by the two combatants,
but by congress Of all the great pow
ers, including ourselves-so far have
unforeseen events carried us away from
the traditions of Washington. The
terms of that treaty will be such as the
great nations think best for the inter-
ests of the whole world, and not alone
of the two nations who carried on the
war"
