have graduated beyond Gosh = and

trying other expletives, not without
a vague fear of being struck by light

could possibly know as much as they
do. You couldn't fool them, betch

WILL REFUSE IF NOMINATED
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AGAIN
REJECTS THE THIRD TERM
PROPOSITION.

Washington, Dec 17.--Whatever
1oubt may have existed heretofore of
President Roosevelt's determination
not to be the Republican candidate
for president again should disappear
now, In the opinion of his advisers.
In the presence Of number OF poll
ticians and others at the GridirOn din
ner a few nights ago the president re-
iterated his declaration not to be a
candidate for third term. He went
further, In fact, and said II would
not accept even II were nominated. !"
This remarkable statement on Pres
ident Roosevelt's part came as the
conclusion to talk he was giving on
his tenure Of office and the attempt of
certain newspapers to keep him In the
running. He referred to the fact that
he had stated irrevocably that he
would not have third term, but that
still! there appeared to be mistsivings
on that point in the public mind.
He said he was determined to ad-
here to his previous statement that

self and did not believe the American
people believed in that idea; that he
did not want another term In the pres
ideacy and would not accept 1t under
any circumstances.
Mr.. Roosevelt, 1t is believed. does
and will aspire to become United
States senator from New York.
He also has a burning desire to
travel extensively abroad. 1t Is said,
and feels assured, according to his
friends, OF a world ovation second to
none ever extended to an American,
not executing General Grant.

OF ITS COMMITTEE.
DEAL LIKELY TO Be CLOSED SHORTLY

Chicago, Dec 1.-THE traction
committee of the city council and rep
resentatives of the Chicago Union
Traction company and Of the Chicago
City Railway company have reached
an agreement regarding the price to
be paid for the properties OF the two
companies, If the city shall ultimately
decide to purchase them.
It was agreed that the city shall
pay $29,000,00 for the properties of
the Union Traction company, which
operates all the street car systems on
the North and West Sides of the city,
and s21, 100000 for the property of the
Chicago City Railway company, which
controls the transportation on the
South Side of the city. 1t was decided
by the committee that it will as soon
as possible recommend to the city
council the passage Of an ordinance
allowing the purchase of the proper
ties at the price named.
Mayor Dunno, when the action or
the committee was reported to him,
declared that, in his opinion, the coun-
ell would adopt the recommendation
of the committee and the city would
then proceed to own and operate the
street railways.
Despite the fact that the committee
will recommend the purchase Of the
lines for $50,000,000 1t is still possible
that an agreement may yet be reached
for the granting of a franchise on the
basis of a division of profits. The
companies offered the city an even
division of the net profits of the COM
panies, but the city demanded 55 per
cent. This phase of the question is
still under discussion and an agree
ment may be reached later.

GERLY DISCUSS AMERICAN
JAPANESE RELATIONS.
PLAN OF CAMPAIGN MAPPED OUT
ALL EXPERTS AGREE THAT JA-
PAN WOULD SEIZE THE
Philippine ISLANDS.

Berlin, Dec. 17.-The relations be-
tween the United States and Japan
excite extraordinary interest both in
government and In diplomatic circles
here. Emperor William discussed the
question with several persons recently
and Is thoroughly Informed regarding
President Roosevelt's personal views
on the subject. It Is believed that
Russia's more resolute attitude
against Japan's requests for trade and
colonization rights on the Amur river
and In Siberia and for fishery priv
ileges on the adjacent Russian coasts
is partly due to the discussion OF the
California school question between the
United States and Japan. The Rus
sian foreign Office has been subjected
to steady diplomatic pressure on the
part OF Japan in the effort to obtain
these farreaching rights. The result
Is that the idea has been created at
the Russian foreign Office that Japan
might make her ambitions the Occa-
sion for a renewal of the war with
Russia. This idea pervaded the con-
versations which the Russian foreign
minister. NJ Iswolsky, had with the
government officials and others whom
he met here on the occasion OF bis
visit to Berlin six weeks ago. M,
Iswolsky met many prominent people
here and talked with extraordinary
freedom.
Among German military and naval
officers the possibility OF conflict
between the United States and Japan
has been quite freely discussed and
the professional views appear to agree
that Japan would take the Philippine
islands and place upon the United
States the necessity Of conducting
across the Pacific prolonged sea and
land campaigns which would call for
immense expeditions against great
natural obstacles. 1t was known here
In June that the British admiralty
had considered theoretically the pos
sibility Of war between Japan and the
United States as likely to occur within
twenty-five years and some Of the Brit
ish naval men are reported to have
expressed the belief that the contest
would occur within five years. In any
case II, Is certain that several Euro
pean foreign officials are at present
making Inquiries regarding the tenn
per Of the Japanese people and the
government OF Japan.
