The Fractional Fight In Wisconsin win Not
Endanger tho Electoral Tfcket-eecre-
tary Shaw Declares That Not west
ern State VIII Go Democratic.
WASHINGTON, Sept. s0.-President Rooee-
welt told Representative Cooper to-day
that although he was deeply interested
in the success OF the Republican party In
Wisconsin there was no condition under
which the Federal Administration could
consent to be drawn into the factional
troubles In that State.
"1he President told me" said Mr.. Cooper,
after visit to the White House, that the
Administration desires the support Of every
loyal Republican, and has no intention OF
directly or indirectly espousing the cause
Of either side In Wisconsin. There is no
occasion to do 80 and no desire to do So
Mr.. Cooper was met at the White House
by Horace A. Taylor, one Of the Assistant
Secretaries Of the Treasury and veteran
Republican campaigner. Tho Congress-
man was little cautious about discussing
the fractional toubles in Wisconsin, al
though he said freely that the electoral
ticket was not in danger.
Mr.. Taylor, on the other hand. handled
the question v ithout gloves. 1t was plain
from what he said that he and other -stal-
arts in Wisconsin ould vote for Demo-
crat as betv cen a Democrat and La Toilette
Mr.. aylor agrees v it'll Congressman Cooper
that the chances Of Roosevelt and Fair
banks are not endangered by the bitter
fractional fight in the State.
r. j. Tracewell Of Indiana, the Comp
troller Of the Treasury, net Mr.. Taylor
to-day and began to talk about Republican
prospects in the Hoosier State
why, Indiana" he de Jared, will give
Roosevelt as big a majority as Mckinley
had"
Then he read Assistant Secretary Taylor
and deploring the fractional strife in Wis
consin 1t endangered the party'e sue
cess, he said, and the Republicans OF the
State orpht to forret their differences.
81 will bet you box Of the best cigars
retorted Mr.. Taylor, that Wisconsin gives
Roosevelt and Fairbanks bigger majority
by 10000 than Indiana
Mr.. Traoewell looked rather sheepish, but
took the bet.
Shortly after Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Taylor
left the White House the regular semi
weekly meeting OF the Cabinet was held
As was the case at the meeting last Tuesday
some time was devoted to political discus
sion.
Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw, who
is enjoying breathing spell Of two or three
days between speeches, but who will re-
sumo his work on the stump next week,
told the President OF his observations in
the West. He expressed the opinion that
not a single Western State will be found in
the Democratic column.
Secretary Of War Taft. who was present,
Joined in the discussion. He left tonight

PARIS Sept. 30.-Nearly one hundred bags
containing mail bound for New York were
Stolen from an express train between Paris
and Havre last night.
The sacks were cut open and the thieves

the train, one occupied by scrters, and the
other by the American mail from france
Spain, Italy, Egypt and India. NOBODY
travelled in the latter car, the door OF which
was fastened only with paddock. Ihis
lack OF precaution was extraordinary, as
a week ago lock was wrenched from the
car during It's run to Havre, indicating an
attempt TO rob 1t.
When the train arrived at Rouen the car
was opened to derosit more II all In It, IL
was then found that about hundred iraii
bags had been ripped open and err ptied
Of their contents. The floor was Uttered
with the remnants OF torn letters and regis
tered packets. II is supposed that the
thieves travelled on the train and reached
the mail van by walking along the foot
board There is no clue to their identity
Il Is understood that part OF the mail was
consigned to England.
The New York post Office authorities
have heard nothing about the robbery.
The mail, It Is explained here, was not yet
In charge Of American postal clerks.

But no one is willing to give up good
