WASHINGTON LETTER.
from our Regular Correspondent
Washington, D. G. Ang. 3, 1905

The Democrats expect to make val
liable capital out of the departmental
scandals for use in the Congressional
elections next year, according to a
prominent democratic representative
| in Congress who is now in Washing
ton. This exponent OF the principles
of democracy declares that the repub-
lican party will be held accountabl BILE
| for the populations and wrong doing
Of indi viduals who have carried on
their operations in the government
service. In his opinion the democrats
| will have winning issue in the old
cry of Turn the rascals OUT The
ad ADMINISTRATION however, Is proceeding
| actively to discover the Irregularities
of the government individual public
servants and to rid the service of those
whose dishonesty or incompetency
make them unfit for their positions
The f1ash-light that was raised over the
intim ations of improper actions on the
part of the employees and officials of
the Geological Survey, has subsidized
into nothing. The persons, with the
exception, who were charged with u.s.
ing information obtained at the expense
of the government for furthering the
the interests of the Mining World. a
Chicago scientific journal, and for their
own pecuniary profit, have disclaimed
receiving payment of any OF the articles
purported to have been written by
them. Several of the employees, whose
names appear on the journal as ''spec-
ial editors" have also declared that
such use of their names was made with
out their permission, and that they
performed no service whatever for the
journal and gave it no advantages over
any other magazine of newspaper in
the use of information collected at the
SOSSi GA pObOC. A1uOu1o OulS
question be considered of sufficient i'm
portance to require an investigation by
the Keep commission, the employees of
the survey interested declare that no
grounds will be found for the recent
insinuation OF Irregularities among the
survey force in this connection.
The employees of the immigration bur-
eau dealing with the admission and ex-
clusion OF Chinese are having trouble
with the enforcement of the laws,
according to an Official of the bureau,
owing to the fear of the employees,
that they may be considered s'over-
Jealous" in the discharge of their dut-
les, The trouble is attributed in some
quarters to the recent order of the
President admonishing the inspectors
with regard to applying the law. The
inspectors are using extreme caution
in approaching the Cinnamon who

NEW YORK RACE RIOTS
What Dcyery SAYS of Thcm-Nc@rocs
Do Not Cause Them.

The New York Evening Post says:
Whatever else may be said of Devery
his knowledge Of police conditions Is
beyond challenge. Hence his views On
the so-called negro riots in this city
are of value. He is reported today as
saying precisely what the observers
best acquainted with conditions on the
West Side have been declaring to ine
truth: LET me tell you that there has
been no such thing as a negro riot N
many years. PlaIn-gOing, honest, negro
IOngshoremen, however, on their way
home from work have been beaten 1Or
a month past by hOodlums along 81
avenue, and have been left in the gut
4ars for dead, and no police to helD
auetn. It's time that the police stopped
clubbing negroes, who are human De-
ines k ourselves. )" Devery too, is
in favor of a strict investigation OF the
actions of the police, and when he says
that police clubbing is almost never
necessary, it is worth while putting his
opinion by for future reference. Mr..
McAdoo has taken n step of import

The Tom Hedge case was the last
one disposed Of before the adjourn

PENDANT, who has been in Jail since last
Sunday, was brought to the court room
at 1870 O'Clock .oday. but Judge Bry-

power. After & orief conference with
some friends in the sherif's Office. Tom
went back to the Jail carrying a Bible
under his arm and unaccompanied by
an officer.
The case was argued by Solicitor
Graves and Mr.. G. b. Watson, repre-
senting the city OF Winston, and oy
Mr.. 5. E. Hall. counsel for the defend
ant The prosecution cCntended that
the law regulating Sabbath observance
was constitutional ard that, by mis-
own admission the defendant had. ON
several occasions, violated the city or
dinance. The counsel for the Seventh
Day Adventist argued that the State
law in regard to the observance of Sun
day was unconstitutional and that his
client was governed solely by his co1-
science, and that ne holds that ~
should work six days in h week. At
the conclusion Of the argument by the
counsel On both sides, Tom was al
lowed 20 minutes in which to present
his side of the case. First, he gave Il
brief history Of his life, saying that
since he was convinced by reading
Gods Word thai Saturday was th2
real Sabbath, he had observed it faith
fully. The defendant jumped on tooac-
co, cigarettes and o meat, expressing
the opinion that it was sinful to use
the weed and to eat swine. o als0
read a number of selections from the
Bible, which he believed sustained his
position. Judge Bryan ruled that The
law was constitutional and that moth
ing was left for him to do, therefore,
but to sustain the judgments of the
mayor. Toms counsel gave notice OF
appeal to the Supreme court and the
appeal bond was fixed at $25.-Winston

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 30.-Secretary
Wilson, of the department of agrl:u.-
ture, is expected at Sycamore Hill TO-
morrow. His visit will enable him anl
the President to discuss the situation
in the department. as it relates to :hc
Investigations now in progress. All ri
NOR of the intention of Secretary Viii
son to resign fro mthe cabinet may be
put aside as mere ~conjectural- The
Secretary has no present intention OF
leaving the cabinet, and the President
knows of no reason why he should
resign.
The President, 1t may be said, re-
poses implicit confidence in Secretary
Wilson and is thoroughly satisfied that
he will solve the difficulties now pre-
scented to the entire satisfaction OF The
Chief Executive and of the country.
It is probable that Secretary Wilson
would have come to Oyster Bay before
this had il not been for the unsettled
conditions in his department, which
rendered it practically impossible for
him to leave Washington. He is pres
sing every phase of the Investigations
now in progress and will develop every
fact which the country ought TO know.
That the President is confident the
Secretary will purge the department OF
any scandal that may attach to II, IS
evidenced by the Iact that he mas not
interfered with the pending 1nVestlsa-
tons. All matters brought to his at
tention have been turned over to SEE
retary Wilson with instructions to IN
ouire into them. This the secretary
has done and his work has the APPROX
