ages are not received until after Christ

from their value. and the real object

package should have been received.
This will also help the expressman.

Higgins Declines
A denomination

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 25.-'T have
not sought and | shall not accept a re-
nomination." says Gov. Higgins in q
statement issued from the executive
chamber. This phrase closes state
ment in which Gov. Higgins explains
his reasons for refusing a renomina-
ton, and after declaring that the party
is in admirable condition, says:
when the party enters the cam
paign in 80 wholesome condition the
hosts of Hearst cannot avail against it"
Gov. Higgins says:
1.-TWO years ago I began my cam
paign with the pledge that would if
elected have an administration of my
own. have kept that pledge.
By so doing have met opposition
from those who believe that governors
and legislators are safer public serv-
ants when they follow the guidance of
party boss than when they think for
themselves and act on their own re-
sponsibility.
"The result of the contest in the
recent primaries for the principle Of
executive independence has given
courage to all VINO believe that the
governor should not be the puppet of
the party organization and hope to all
who deplore the supremacy of ire
sponsible political absolutism. It also
leaves me free to crafty my personal
inclination with honor and to with
draw my name from further consider
alton"

iands and ages have cherished. There
are those who can remember when the
people thought the United States was
soon TO outstrip China, Japan, France,
Italy and all the rest put together in
the production of silk, and it was not
many years ago that beet-sugar enthu-
siasts were cocksure that before this
time this country would not be only
supplying all its own needs, but also
exporting millions of tons year. Such
visions would be comparatively HARM
less II they did not lead many into reck-
less investments and consequent losses.

FONTS Z. Sterling, Secretary of State
UFarrlll, Freyre Andrade, speaker of
Gne lower house; Secretrvy of War
Tart and Mr.. Bacon, Consul General
Srelnhart and Capt. Mccoy, when the
medlators called the attention of the
Cuban administration to the status of

ais and insurgents, The conference
adjourned at II O'Clock last night to
De resumed this morning.
Against the Government
The peace terms proposed are known
to be against the government. The
visit to the palace of the American
commissioners was therefore not par.
ticularly pleasant. Upon departing
Secretary Taft announced that the
conference had resulted only in the
exchange of opinions and that another
meeting was necessary. The big doors
OF the palace closed as usual at II
O'Clock. but the president and mem.
bers OF the cabinet remained in con.
ference until long after that hour.
There is strong impression that
President Palma will remain and re-
organize the cabinet but that new
elections will be held for half the
senators and representatives other
words Ethose who were elected last
year, and possibly also for provincial
officials.

is the answer most frequently given
to questions concerning the guberna-
torial nomination of the Republican
state convention.
The refusal of Gov. Higgins to &C
cept a denomination has unsettled
things, and now all efforts are being
put forth by the leaders to form new
lines, tomake readjustments and to
secure a ticket which can be nomi-
mated by reclamation.
If Gov. Higgins had been prevailed
upon to accept denomination the re-
mainder would have been easy, but he
has declined to be persuaded and now
comes the necessity of selecting a can
didate who will satisfy all leaders and
make good run in he fall elections.
The outlook is that it may be some
time before any definite results are &C
complished.

WOMAN TAUGHT CARPENTRY.

From Saw and Hatchet She Ad.
vanced to Wood Carving.
When Hortense Tafel. daughter of a
former mayor of Cincinnati, proposed
to teach carpentry and joining in the
manual training schools of Philadel-
phia, educators here simply hcoted,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer's Phila-
delphia correspondent. When last week,
she exhibited most wonderful and ar
tistic collection Of wood carvings and
cabinet work at the exclusive Drexel in
stitute, all the town sat up and took
notice. No such wood work has ever
before been seen in Philadelphia repre-
senting the handiwork Of a woman.
Every piece in the comprehensive ex-
hibit was sold on sight.
The Drexel Institute Is a UNIQUE
proposition in the world of education.
It teaches dressmaking, but the stu
dents who come there to learn the art
must have money enough to pay for an
elaborate wardrobe. The tone Of the
place is registered in high C and above,
so that everything has social signifi-
canoe. 1t was In this place and amid
rich ultra exclusive surroundings that
Miss Tafel took up the work of a car
penter and seriously undertook 10 learn
the trade. For her it was only a step
from the saw, Ratchet and nails to the
art work of the old masters Of machin-
cry and then came the skill and the
conception of a wood carver.
No sculptor working in marble ever
lavished more interest upon his crea-
lions than did Miss Tafel upon the soft
lumber first given her to waste. She
spoilt nothing, she wasted nothing. She
just worked and studied and studied
and worked and the plank of yesterday
was the carved pastel of tomorrow.
Then came the major pieces and no
mere furniture was evolved. Works of
art were produced and finally the great
est display of sloyd ever collected by
one artist in Philadelphia was put upon
exhibition. Each success led to another
and yet greater effort and finally
space was cleared in the great rotunda
for the display of Miss Tafeps work.

NEW SAN DOMINGO TREATY
Provision Objected to by the Senate
to Be Eliminated.

to Be Eliminated.
Washington, Sept. 23.-A new
treaty with Santo Domingo probably
will be negotiated, with the feature of
the previous treaty, which failed of
ratification by the United States sem
ate, eliminated.
BY the terms of the proposed con-
vention the United States will not act
as fiscal agent of Santo Domingo in
full capacity; that is. it will not act
as paymaster of Santo Domingo in the
liquidation of that country's indebted
ness, but will continue to collect the
revenues Of the island republic and
out of these revenues create sinking
fund for the liquidation Of the foreign
Indebtedness.
It is believed at the state department
that the elimination Of one or two OF
the features in the former treaty to
which the senate objected will result
in the ratification of the proposed
convention when it is again submit
ted to the senate.

BRYAN MISQUOTED
DOES NOT FAVOR GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP
Any More than Does President
Roosevelt, But insists that At
titude of Railroads VIII Force
Government to Finally Take
Action-Fairbanks Quoted.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 24.-Missis-
sippt extended cordial welcome to
William j. Bryan when he spoke to
about 10, 900 people Leading Demo
Gratis from all parts of the state were
here, and at the conclusion of the ad-
dress resolutions complimentary to Mr..
Bryan were adopted by strong vote.
Mr.. Bryan's speech dealt with trusts,
government control of railroads and
congratulated President Roosevelt up
on his Democratic tendencies. Mr..
Bryan declared that he (Bryanl had
been misquoted and misrepresented in
his utterances on disagreement own
ership question; that he simply ex-
pressed his views as private citizen,
which he had a right to do, and was
not trying to force his individual
views on the party.
Same Position a. Roosevelt
II no more favor government own
ership of railroads." he declared,
''than does President Roosevelt, whose
utterance on that subject is still in the
minds Of all, and I noted that Mr..
Fairbanks in his Chicago address stat.
ed that the present rate law was sim.
ply the beginning.
What the vice president meant to
convey is open. I am not apologizing
for anything have said, and I will
reiterate here that unless the law
against the railroads is enforced, joint
government and state ownership will
be the ultimate result. But the rail.
roads will force the issue, not the
people,"
Mr.. Bryan here took up the trust
question, saying that President Roose.
welt was good Democrat as far as be
went, but that he had not gone fa1
enough. And if Democratic measures
were good when taken up by Repub.
licca administration they had better be
in the hands of a Democratic presi.
dent and congress.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bryan'f
address, John Sharp Williams spoke
briefly. He called attention to the
fact that he had supported Mr.. Bryan
in two campaigns and would do &C
again, but stated that he was unalter
ably opposed to government ownership
of railroads.
