SPEAKER CANNON OPPOSED TO
VICE PRESIDENTIAL BOOM
IN HIS FAVOR.
ORGANIZES FRIENDS TO FIGHT. IT
DETERMINED NOT TO BE TRANS.
FERRED TO OTHER SIDE OF
THE CAPITOL.

Chicago, April pa Washington
special to the Tribune says:
Friends of Uncle Joe Cannon have
been forced to organize to head off his
vice presidential boom. He does not
want the place under any considera
tion. He is a wise old owl and he has
not the slightest intention of allowing
the Chicago convention to pry him
loose from his present place and by
means Of back stairs promotion put
him into the presiding officers chair
in the United States senate.
Speaker Cannon's friends insist that
he must consent to be the presiding
officer of the Republican national con-
vention, but the speaker is wise in his
generation and has announced that
he will not take the place and that
he will not go to Chicago at all during
convention week unless he can be
guaranteed that Platt's performance at
Philadelphia will not be repeated.
The speaker has passed word to his
friends that the boom for him for the
vice presidency must be stamped out
forthwith. He does not want to be
vice president, has much better place
already, likes his job and is not dis
posed to go into honorable retirement
merely to give some of the aspiring
statesmen in the house a chance to
step into his shoes.

man Hemenway Of the appropriations
committee and Representative Living
ston Of Georgia, the ranking Demo

way to represent his views.
"a Congress That Has Done Moth
ing but Spent Money is the heading
of Mr.. LivingSton's summary.
After reviewing the expenditures for
the next fiscal year Mr.. Hemenway
concludes: THE expenditures of our
government in their aggregate, as eX-
hibited by the appropriations of con-
gress. are large and by unthinking
persons and especially, by misguided
newspapers are denounced as extrav-
agant and yet, according to statistics,
our national government is the most
economically administered of any in
the civilized world
The total appropriations made by
this congress aggregate, according to
Mr.. Hemenway, $7S1, ,574,629. Of this
sum $26,801 ,8f3 was to pay deficiencies
for prior fiscal years and S56, 100000 is
set aside for application to the sinking
fund. This leaves the total appropria-
tion for the expenses of the govern
ment for the year 1905 $69S,272, ,7S6.
Mr.. Livingston's statement com
pared the appropriations of the pres
ent congres with the last two years
under Democratic rule, which showed
an increase Of more than $200,O00,000
in annual expenditures.

Young Man Sends a Bullet Though

Young Man Sends a Bullet Though
His Head While Intoxicated.
Last evening young man by the
name Of Nels Petersen. who has been
employed by z. Anderson, attempted
suicide by shooting himself through
the head AS a result he is lying in
a precarious condition, with little hope
of recovery. Petersen came to town
from Andersen's wood camp about a
week ago. He soon loaded up on in.
toxicants and has been in that con-
dition for several days. Some time
yesterday he purchased a pistol and
in the evening, repaired to the sleep
ing room at the corral when he fired
a shot through his head.
The bullet entered the left temple
and the doctor took it out on the
other side. The course Of the bullet
passed through the nerves of both
eyes, rendering them sightless. The
doctor entertains little encouragement
1Or MS recovery.
Soon after the shot was fired a
number Of friends we're on the scene
and all was done that was possible.
The man is in semi conssiors con-
dition and greatly regrets the fatal
move lie, when sober. is exceedingly
Industrious, and has been in the en-
ploy Of MI Anderson for number #
years. Whenever he came to town, he
INDUCED in a spree and always be-
came Respondent. He is a young man
! not over twenty-five years Of age, and
his fine constitution may bring him
| through the terrible ordeal. In case
| of recovery it is believed that the
eyesight of both eyes will be totally
destroyed as the optic nerve is be
| lieved to have been shattered.
| A physician was secured and ali
l that can be done will be rendered

case of too much liquor and there Is
no one to blame for the terrible deed
