Gen. Bird w. Spencer of New Jersey

city, vice president, and Albert s. Jones.
secretary of the National Rifle Association.
called on the President today to enlist his
interest in the promotion of legislation pro-
vding for the issuance of rifles and the sale
of ammunition to civilian rifle clubs. The
national organization, under authority of
law already is engaged in encouraging the
formation of such clubs, with a view to in
creasng the interest in rife practice The
legislation suggested involves no appro-
priation, the idea being that the rifles shall
be issued in limited numbers to the or
ganiZed clubs through the national associa-
ton, each club to give bond for the proper
use and care of the arms. President Roose-
welt promised to use his influence to pro-
mote the plan. The committee also had an
interview with Secretary Taft earlier in the
day, at which he promised his assistance
Gen. Spencer embraced the opportunity
to discuss with the President the "Presi-
dents match, competition conducted
annually by the National Rifle Associa-
ton to determine the individual military
championship in rifle shooting. For thirty
years the competition has been known as
the Presidents match" but no President
hitherto has placed upon it his official
sanction. President Roosevelt will give
1t his official sanction and win present to
the successful competitor the prize Of
fered by the association-a gold medal
and $50.

The Accompanying Papers.

The Commissioners propose to present to
Congress in connection with their report all
the facts and conditions set forth by the
people of the District With reference to the
proposed bill. They will also furnish Con-
gress with the information regarding the
subject contained in the petitions, hearings
letters and reports which have been received
by them during their consideration of the
bill. The suggestions to substitute routes,
ETC., will also be forwarded to Congress.
In view of the fact that the Senate in a
resolution passed several days ago requested
the report of the Commissioners at the
earliest possible date, the Commissioners
will endeavor to send the report to Congress
this evening. In case an agreement on all
the points involved is not reached by the
District authorities this afternoon however,
the report may be delayed day or SO.

NJ street, one of the streets On which it is
proposed to operate the new road, eX

Provisions of the Bill.
The bill authorizing the extension and
operation of the Great Falls and Old Do
minon railroad in the District specifies
that the road will enter the District at the
north end of the Aqueduct bridge. and run
ming thence to the intersection of NJ and
36th streets. will continue down NJ street
to New Jersey avenue northwest, from
which point it will approach the new union
station. running by way of Maryland ave-
, nue. to the Bladensburg road. The terminus
is stated at point opposite Mount Olivet
cemetery.
1t is predicted that the Commissioners, in
their report, will recommend to Congress
some radical changes in the proposed
route. 1t is understood they are agreed
that there should be a crosstown railroad.
and that they are also agreed as to the
general facts affecting the situation. There
are still several points. however it is un-
derStOOd, which they will have to discuss
more fully in private conference
1t IS also understood that the Comm.s
sionerS prefer, In view of all the crcum-
stances a different route for a crosstown
road than that prescribed in the bill under
consideration. Several days ago represent
tatives of the lexington Citizens Associa-
ton appeared before them and suggested
that they recommend legislation extending
the lines of the Capital Traction Company
from Ith and u streets northwest, easterly
along Florida avenue to Sth street north
east, and thence south to connect with the
navy yard line in the southeast section of
the city.
Among other things, it is believed, the
Commissioners considering this PROPOSE
tion. and that in this connection they are
considering the question, whether or not the
same results, indicated in the pending bill.
cannot be obtained by extending existing
lines, rather than by authorizing the con-
struction of new road within the District
1t is predicted that the report of the
Commissioners will not be favorable to the
construction of the new road in the District,
but since they decline 10 give out Informal
ton in advance of their report this is a
matter of conjecture

The Wilmington Post Office.

Ii is believed to be likely that the Presi-
dent will in few days settle the long fight
over the post Office at Wilmington N c.,
by sending to the Senate the name of T. E.
Wallace of Wilmington as postmaster there.
T. S. Rollins. republican state chairman,
has recommended the nomination of Wal
lace, and he is backed by other influences
of strength. political and otherwise The
fight over the office has been a long and
bitter one. An attempt was made to have
Miss Darby, the postmaster, removed. and
Mrs. Russell, the wife of eX-Gov. Russell,
appointed in her place. This would have
been successful but for charges made by
Miss Darby against ex-Gov. Russell The
President then declined to agree to the pro-
gram of the state republican managers.
This required fresh recommendation. AS
there does not appear to be any good rea-
son why Wallace should not be selected
he will probably succeed Miss Darby who
is still striving to retain her place, but
without strong political backing

the matter the most careful consideration.

A largely attended public hearing was
held at the District building about six
weeks ago. when there was an almost
unanimous approval of the proposition for
a crosstown railroad. but the specific route
of the line was the subject of considerable
diversity of opinion. Many residents along
NJ street, one of the streets On which it is
proposed to operate the new road, eX-

Everybody is Satisfied.


Senators and representatives who dis
cussed with the President today the ac-
ton of the House yesterday relative to the
connection of congressman with the postal
cases, found him pleased that conserva-
tive action had finally prevailed. With
the cooling off of the republicans who
were at first swept off their feet the hu-
morous side of the situation presented it
self to many of the callers and they found
much to laugh over with the President.
The republicans do not deny that they
are glad they escaped a general investi-
cation of the Post Office Department.
They had no fear that anything serious
would be developed by such an investlga-
ton. but they knew that if there was an
investigation of the kind demanded it
would be prolonged by the democrats
through the campaign this year and all
kinds of stories be put into circulation.
The situation would have been embarrass-
ing and would have kept the republicans
on the watch necessarily for false stories
and sensations. Had the demand for an
investigation been made six months or
a year ago it would have been acceded to
by the republicans themselves without
opposition. it is declared but the presiden-
chances on an investigation.
The action taken by the House is not
looked upon as cause for the slightest po-
ltical worry. and the triumph of party
leadership and fealty over the democratic
attempt to play politics is commented upon
with satisfaction by the leaders.

committee, has issued call for a
meeting of the committee at Boise the
18th. of April. At that time it is I'M
der-stood there will be big celebra-

talk among the leaders of doing some
other business besides fixing the time
and place of holding tn. next conven-
ton to elect delegates to the national
democratic convention. The well
known views Of Donnelly as expressed
in recent interviews. together with re-
velations of the last week as to the
open violations of law on the part of
the MorinonI, render it altogether
probable that the matter will be dis
oussed at some length by the commit
tee and some resolutions with reference
thereto passed.

ALMOST LIKE PROPHECY.
Roosevelt's View as to Qualifications OF
the Vice President.

Roosevelt's View as to Qualifications OF
the Vice President.
Theodore Roosevelt is not a prophet.
nor the son Of prophet, but he looks at
things very straight and sees into them
pretty clearly.
During the presidential campaign of
1895 the editor of the Review of Reviews
asked Mr.. Roosevelt, who was then Pres
dent of the New York Police Board,
to write an article on the Vice Presi-
dency, together with comments on the
three candidates who had been nominat-
ed respectively by the Republicans, the
Democrats and the Populists. Following
is an extract from Mr.. Roosevelt's arti-
Gle:
THE Vice President should so far as
possible, represent the same views and
principles which have secured the nomi-
milton and election of the President, and
he should be man standing well in the
councils of the party, trusted by his fel-
low leaders, and able, in the event of any
accident to his chief, to take up the work
of the latter just where it was left"
This was written nearly four years
before Mr.. Roosevelt was even mentioned
for Vice President, and before his cleo
ton as Governor of New York. He was
nominated for Vice President against his
own wishes because the Republican party
believed that il elected he would be able,
in the event of any accident to Mr.. Nc
Kinley, to take up and carry or the work
of the latter, and history has proved tho
correctness of this view.
Mr. Roosevelt's first public utterance
after he succeeded to the office of Presi-
dent was a promise to carry on the work
OF his lamented chief to the best of his
ability and strength. How faithfully and
successfully he has done so is shown by
the history he has helped to make. In
the light of subsequent events what he
wrote in 1896 regarding the qualifications
of Vice President seems almost like
prophecy.

sn.n...inu 1mporta.c ce.

To large section of the West the irri-
CATION bill, which promises to redeem to
agriculture millions Of acres that are
now dry and barren. is by far the most
important measure of the session. And
it is a measure OF surprising importance;
one that has been uader discussion for
many years, but has heretofore failed,
for the old reason that it was impossible
to arouse sufficient interest in it outside
of the States directly affected. 1t is an
improvement that will pay for itself as 1t
progresses, for the whole cost is to be
betrayed by the money received for the
sale of lands. and the barren lands that
receive the benefits of irrigation will Mt
once possess n value far beyond the cost
OF the improvement.-Brook Times,

RURAL MAIL SERVICE.
Boon to Farmers that Cost 1 z, 900, ,OO'
Last Fiscal Year

Boon to Farmers that Cost " lZ,OOO,OOO
Last Fiscal Year.
Receipts of the postal service last fiscal
year fell about $S.0OO,OOO below expec-
tntions. In discussing the matter the
New York Press says:
Nearly s12,OOO,OO0 was expended in
the last fiscal year in extending the de.
livery of mail into rural communities.
Had this expenditure been eliminated, in
stead of defect there would have been
a surplus. Does anyone believe that the
surplus would have been desirable at
such cost? Is there anyone who doubts
that the $12 100000 expended for rural
delivery will breed other millions, which,
although not directly discoverable in pos
tai receipts. are none the less subject to
entry on the credit side of the great pub
lie ledger? The rural delivery is so bene-
fcent that the only wonder is it was not
established long ago. 1t is not likely that
our Democratic friends will use this
particular feather in the Republican cap
hs a target in the campaign"
