WASHINGTON GOSSIP
WHITE HOUSE SCARE OVER THE
 DOCKsTADER REHEARSAL.
Administration View of the Episode on the Capitol Grounds Is That It Was n Deep Laid Poli-
 teal Trick.
Advertiser Bureau,

Colorado Building,
 Washington, May 21.
 Now that the full import of the &C., tion of the authorities in. the matter of Lew Dockstader's rehearsal stunt on the grounds of the capitol Friday morning Is taken In by the people of Washington. to state 1t quite mildly they are amazed.
 They have been accustomed at vau- deyiile and other histrionic perform ances where comedy and local and popular hits are affected to seeing fun had out of public men and measures in season and out Of season, and from time immemorial within the recollec- ton of the oldest show-goers and be- yond their ken. these theatrical quips have never given ofTense to the audi ences and never before been made oc- casions of official recognition even.
 Therefore, we'll recognized as it is. that Dockstader's practice before the kenetoscopic photographer was done to get material for his show, there is no little amazement at the excitement here in official circles as directed from the White House.
 For many years there has not been an administration that has not been caricatured in Washington on the stage. oftentimes with the object of the fun in the audience. It is remarked that Mir. Roosevelt must have grown extremely sensitive to attention that Is not profoundly obeisant or vociferous with exclamation of loyalty to his reign and regime.
 The pretense or charge that the Dockstader performance at the capi- tol was done for political effect or at the instigation of Democrats or Re- publican opposition to Mfr. Roosevelt is treated as a monstrous absurdity N@S- ertheless. that is the position taken by super-serviccable and over-zeaIous friends of the Roosevelt administra- ton. The indications are that Mir. Roosevelt in this little piece Aof pam tonic perslfiage is about to become a self made martyr.

latter part of April. His errand here was to investigate a cyanide process for the extraction of gold. The plant was described as located in New Jer- sey town. just across the Hudson" from New York.
 May 9th he paid his bill at the hotel and left letter there to be called for by an old friend living at Leonia- N. J.. saying that after investigating the cyanide plant, he would go to Leonia and remain there until May i4, when he intended sailing for Vera Cruz. Hem messy failed to appear at Leonia and did not sail for Mexico. No trace of his whereabouts in New Jersey could be found and letters to his son at Chi- cago, brought the information that nothing had been heard there from him since May {. Fears of foul play are now felt.

 Former Governor Robert Pattison. of Pennsylvania, who is one of the delegates at large from Pennsylvania to the Na- tional Democratic Convention at St Louis is taking a lively interest in politics this year. He said today:
 T believe the conservative sentiment or the country is with the Democratic party, and if that sentiment can be satis- fled by the action of the convention at St. Louis. we will win in November We have got to adhere to the principles of the constitution as expounded by Thomas Jefferson and practiced and advocated by the leaders of the party"
 Governor Pattison asked to excused from any expression as to candidates as the delegation from Pennsylvania was uninstructed and under the unit rule. the idea being that this was paramount to reticence on the question of candidates.
 The Governor did have something in- teresting to say on the negro question, as 1t affects the enormous Republican vote of Pennsylvania.
 New York and Philadelphia.
 Greater New York; he said, contains a million more people than Philadelphia, yet Philadelphia has hundred thousand more registered voters than Greater New York. New York requires personal Aesieu dIoi' Wthie 1niidueipIna mas not this safeguard. In Philadelphia. all that is necessary is for the list of voters to be made up by assessors reports The judges never have ordered the opening of ballot boxes on any affidavit of fraud
 philadelphia has larger negro popu- lation than any city in the United States except New Orleans. While negroes claim they are debarred from voting in the South. they vote two or three times in Philadelphia. In 1879 there was congressional investigation of Philadel- phia elections. It is more needed now than ever"
 Governor Pattison who was twice elect ed Governor ofe Pennsylyania. voted against the free Silver plank in the 1900 convention. of which he was vice-presi- dent, but supported Mir Bryan in both 1896 and 1900. R. H. Watkins,

Mrs. Elm ma Strickland of Little Rock Ark. made an eloquent plea for the representation of the colored race on the Episcopal board. She presented resolutions asking that the Episcopacy Committee be in- structed to consider the advisability of the election of a negro bishop. She was given respectful attention. and her reso- lution was offered to the Committee on Episcopacy.
 The conference then proceeded to bal- lot for missionary bishops. A ballot was taken first for an additional missionary bishop for Africa, and another separate ballot for two additional missionary bish- ops for Southern Asia. The result of these ballots will be announced next Mon day.
