A FIRE
WAS A WELCOME BREAK IN
THE MONOTONY
AT SUMMER CAPITAL
And Of Course There is
Still "Confidence."

Oyster Bay, Aug. 25--A fire which
burned itself out a mile or SO from
Sycamore Hill, furnished about the
only diversion Of the day in the neigh
borhood Of the summer capitol. Chair
man Cortelydu of the Republican Ma
tional committee and former Secretary
of War Elihu Root, VINO spent the
night at Sycamore Hill, went away on
forenoon train but their departure
did not cause any decided stir in the
social or political sircles of the ham.
let. Chairman Cortelyou, as usual, pre-
served sphynx-like silence about
everything connected with the cam
paign, and MIR. Root was just about as
loquacious as he always is when the
newspaper men pressed him to say
something about the governorshiP. II
the New York state convention should
nominate him during his coming alb
sence in Newfoundland and then ad-
journ before he returns, 1t is now
thought that Mr.. Root would make the
race in spite of his more or less en-
phatic disclaimers. II he really intend
ed to prevent his nomination 1t is sug-
gested that he would remain in New
York state and be on hand when the
delegates met at Saratoga.
The president went over his letter
Of acceptance with Messrs. Cort.lyoG
and Root last night and took up var
ious phases Of the game political They
remained talking in the library OF Sag
amore Hill until long after midnight.
The FIRE that destroyed the Bepjo min
Schenck homestead, colonial MANSION
reputed to be 1870 years old. attracted
the Roosevelt boys in town when the
news came in and they galloped their
horses over to the cove in time to sse
the flames eat up the last boards of the
ancient structure.
Representative James T. McCleary
Of Minnesota visited Sycamore Hill late
In the afternoon, calling upon the
president to speak to him about the
case Of constituent "The north and
northwest are safely Republican" said
Mr.. McCleary. Il believe that the Re
publican majority in the house will be
preserved. We Will have a few hot
fights on our hands in some Of the
states, but we are going to win out
with big majorities as usual. The pres.
ident is wonderfully popular up il my
eection of the country and if the Dem
ocrats attempt to wage personal cam
paign, they'll get the worst beating OF
their lives. Wisconsin is eafeiy Re
publican. The party difficulties W
there will not hurt the ticket at large
for all the Republicans Of the state are
staunch friends of the president"

NO LOSS
May Result to Catholic
University

Washington, d. c., Aug. 25.-The
Rev. A. p. Doyle, secretary Of the
Catholic University and private secre-
tary to the rector, Mgr. O'Connell, an
nounced today the belief Of the trus-
tees of that the university would suf-
fer no loss through the financial en-
barrassment of G. p. Waggaman, a
leading financier, real estate dealer and
art connoisseur. He thought the Wag-
gaman deed of trust amounting to
$S75, 900 would withstand the legal at
tempt being made by local banks to
set II aside.
G. J. Bonaparte, Of Baltimore, who
has been consulted by the university
trustees says the deed of trust was
made at time when Waggaman's
credit was unquestioned and should
therefore hold good. He says 1t may
be possible, however, that it's validity
can be attacked under the bankruptcy
laws.
