RYwHERE.

RYWHERE.
Washington. Nov. THE president
was busy mon today. There was a
constant stream OF callers at the
White House. Some Of them came 10
talk over the results OF yesterdays
elections. The most Of them, how
ever. called simply to say goodbye TO
the president and Mrs. Roosevelt who
leave tomorrow for their long trip
to the Isthmus OF Panama. Mrs.
Roosevelt spent q part of the day
the packing of trunks.
Many clothes are necessary for the
trip. not for show but for health and
comfort. On the return trip IL is
quite probable that the party will pass
In few days from the warmth of the
Caribbean region into the rigors of
northern winter The president
mas received numerous suggestions
from DR.. Rixey and from Secretary
TART, Governor Magoon and others
familiar with the climatic conditions
on the isthmus as to what Il is wise
to take along.
The yacht Mayfiower will be used
TO convey the president and his party
down the Potomac river and Chesa-
peake bay. At the mouth of the Rap
pahannock river the party will be
transferred to the battleship Louis
lana. which will be escorted to the
isthmus by the crack cruisers Tenn
essee and Washington.
Beside the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt, the party will include Sur
geon General Rixey and a clerical
force headed by NJ. C. Latta, assist
ant secretary to the president. Mill
tary and naval aides will also accom-
pany the president.
Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. Tt is re-
garded as quite likely that Kansas
City will again be the scene of impor-
tant rebate prosecutions, as result
or action that will probably be taken
by the federal grand jury that con-
vened today. The evidence brought
to light In the recent Thomas case.
regarding rebates in connection with
freight brokerage transactions tended
TO show that many prominent Missouri
river jobbers had been guilty of re-
ceiving rebates. being under the i'm
preston that they were immune from
prosecution. The recent decision of
the supreme court in the Hale case
however. set down that there can be
no immunity for one who voluntarily
testifies In a law suit to have vio-
lated the law. AS a result of this de-
cislon 1t is thought probable that the
cases OF the jobbers who testified to
receiving rebates will be handed over
to the grand jury for action.
Washington. Nov. MAJORITY for
Charles Il. Hughes, for governor OF
New York. will be between $4,000 and
10000. The Democrats elected the
remainder of the state ticket.
In kentucky the race between Beck
ham and McCreary in the Democratic
senatorial primary is very close
Beckham appears to be in the lead.
but 1t will probably require a recount
to decide the contest.
Returns from New Jersey Indicate
that the legislature will be Republi-
can By narrow margin. This being
the case 1t is likely that Senator Dry
den will be defeated for reelection.
He Is president OF the Prudential Life
Insurance Company and many of the
Republican members of the legislature
VIII refuse to vote for him because of
his trust affiliations.
Returns up to the present time for
members OF congress to show the line
up OF the parties as follows: Repub-
licans. 212: Democrats, 159; missing
10.
In Illinois. where Hearst was max
ing fight and Bryan attempting to
read Roger Sullivan out OF the Dem
ocratic party, the Hearst Independ-
ence League ticket was showed under.
the Republicans winning Chicago by
10000. The state is carried by $4,000
The Issue I'm Cook county was Hearst
and the defeats suffered by his fol-
lowers were sufficient to give the In
dependence League ticket a black eye
in Chicago for years.
in Massachusetts, John u. Moran
backed by Hearst, was showed under
for governor by Curtis Guild, jr. Re-
publican. Guilds plurality is more
than 10000.
Michigan went Republican by more
than 100000. The entire Republican
delegation is returned to congress.
The fight upon Senator Joe Bailey
by Hearst does not appear to have
hurt him. Hhe will probably be re-
turned to the United States senate.
South Dakota has gone Republican
by 10000. while North Dakota is very
close. California is Republican.
HEARST WILL ACCEPT
