hold YOU grossly at fault. If you have
conscientious reason for refusing to carry
out my request it should have been com
municated to me at once, as should the
fact-if such be the case-that you are
personal (or impersonal, If you like) friend
of Mr.. Rodney McCune. Whatever the mo-

AMERICAN TEA GROWING.
Plantation at Pinehurst Worked with
 Encouraging Success.

Reports from the American tea plantation at Pinehurst. s. C. continue to be encouraging, so much so that other planters are considering taking up the crop.
 As a preliminary to the establish ment of the new industry, the Govern ment authorities have completed a soil survey of the rice soils on Cooper River. South Carolina, the proposed location of the tea plantation. and find from analysis that they are well adapted to tea culture. containing, as they do. considerable duanties of or ganic matter. nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
 The present plantation consists of about 100 acres. and. while started un- der independent auspices. the work has proved so successful and promising as an American crop that the Govern ment has lent assistance in many ways
 The possibilities of the industry is indicated by the fact that the annual lmportations of tea are valued at near ly $l3,000,00O. practically all of which comes from China and Japan.

BURTON TO FIGHT CANNON.
Ohio Man Looms Up as Candidate for
 Speaker.

The astonishing story gained circu- lation here today that Uncle Joe Can non will have rival for Speakership honors in the caucus of Republican members of the House, which will be held at the opening of the session of Congress on December f. It is said that Representative Theodore F. Burton. of Cleveland, who was Chairman of the Rivers and Harbors Committee in the last Congress, contemplates shyinR his castor into the ring as a candidate for the Speakership against Uncle Joe" with whom he has not been on the best of terms.
 It is said that Mr. Burton has been quietly canvassing for some time among his intimates on the Republican side of the House and he appears to- have re- ceived enough encoura cement to war rant him entering the lists >t the Re- publican caucus as an avowed candidate for the Speakership nomination.
 If Burton becomes a candidate for the Speakership before the Republican caucus it will not be with the expecta- tion of defeating Uncle Joe Cannon. but

COST OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
sum Required Annually to Maintain It,
 and Other Figures.

"
 The white house uD to date has cost about $S,O0O.000. of which nearly one third has been paid for furniture and Interior decorations, says the Saturday Evening Post. Originally the State of Virginia gave $130.000 to build it, Maryland adding $72,0O0. To maintain the white house costs from $25,000 to $50,000 d year, the appropriation for this purpose varying considerably. But every now and then there is some thing extra to be paid for and Con- Eress is called upon to give an extra SSo,000 or $5O.0O0. The biggest pull of this kind was for S550.00O. which was spent couple of years in a partial re- construction of the interior and in tho addition of winglike terraces and an office building.

that he expects to live to see the
day when the United States will
not produce enough wheat to supply
