Knox, who was selected by the Re-
publican State leaders to succeed NJ.
8. Quay in the United States Senate,
in an interview said:
my retirement from the Cabinet
will in no way affect the policy of the
administration. Mr.. Roosevelt will ex-
p%erience no difficulty in selecting a man
who will continue to represent the
principles he stands for and carry out
the national policy as set down by him.
II cannot conceive how my retire.
ment as Attorney General will affect
the presidential campaign. I have no
fear that the action of the leaders Of
the Republican party Of Pennsylvania
in deciding to present my name for
the Senatorship will be made a CAM
paign issue. One individual cannot in
jure the chances of President Roose-
welt.
81 did not give the slightest thought
to the Senatorship until I was asked
if I would agree to accept it if it were
rendered to me. I replied that if my
name was viewed with favor by the
party throughout the State I would
consider it a high honor to succeed
Senator Quay"
Asked if he would Immediately re-
sign mis- Cabinet position, Mr.. Knox
said:
81 have no reason to as yet. My
actions will be guided by after de-
velopments."'

brought by e. l.. Tanner, taxpayer OF the

that they had signed with the Puget Sound
Electric company last May to furnish the
lighting for the streets. AS soon as the
council passed resolution giving the
mayor authority to contract for lighting
this agreement was entered into, no call
for bids was made nor were any persons
invited to compete.
On the ground that the rates charged in
the contract were eXorbitant, Tanner asked
the court TO restrain the mayor from let
ting this contract privately, on the ground
that it would cause an unnecessary in
crease in his taxes. Judge Bell held that
the statute which provides that munici-
palities cannot let any contracts for work
of more than 500 without calling for bids
and accepting that of the lowest bidder
was not comprehensive enough to cover
electric light contracts. The point has
never before been raised in this country.

gain in both exports and imports over
the same period for the year 1903. During
the first three months of last year the ex-

year during the same period they were
$6,687, ll5, an increase of about IA per

The imports for the same period show a
much greater increase, due principally TO
the increased trade with the Orient and to
the fact that Tacoma is gradually taking
this trade away from the southern cities.
