pared yesterday for submission to Congress
The Commissioners have indicated their dis
approval of the new plan suggested by for

Adams streets northwest, which was pro-
vided in House bill No. 1928 and it contem-
plated the purchase outright by the Dis

thoroughfares mentioned instead of secur-
ing the land by the usual condemnation
methods. Ii was stated at the time thai
the suggestion was new one and the Com
miss;oners took IL under consideration.
Another bill was introduced in Congress
TO carry this idea into effect and providing
an appropriation equal In amount to the
estimate which the Commissioners made OF
the cost of the land. The new bill specified
that the cost should be reimbursed to the
District by the assessment of the amount

Exposition May Fail.

A meeting will be held at the CITY hall
next Tuesday to discuss the situation reIa-
tive TO the proposed jubilee and exposi-
ton which had been planned for next Sep-
tember. The impression Is general that the
project will have to be abandoned owing
to the failure of the legislature TO pass the
bill approprlating 100000. Chairman Hoen
of the exposition committee said today that
he could make no statement until after the
meeting next Tuesday 1T would be use
less, however," he added, for the Jubilee
association to undertake arAthing which
would not be on a large scale and a credit
to the city" The private subscriptions to
date do not aggregate So, 600 less than
one-tenth of the estimated amount neces-
sary TO carry out the project
1t IS quite probable that the exposition
and jubilee VIII be abandoned and that a
home product show will be held IN Septem-
Der, about the time when the cruiser Mary
land will be here to receive the silver sery-
ice as gift from the people of the state.
Intercity Line Grants.
A final agreement has been reached bv

then sent to the second branch where in
Que course Of legislation they will pass

ceIFe the signature of the mayor The

Reversal of Plans.

The signal reversal of the plans is shown
strikingly now by Senator Elklns' insistence
on national issues to the subsection and
likely the elimination of local or state ques-
tions. 1t Is believed the senator has fig
ured it out that with the passage of the
Hepburn bill the voters will be content, and
that he does not want old sores to be re-
opened with enthusiastic shouting for the
tax question, which split his party two
years ago, and which split is still in evi-
dence While Gov. Dawson Is protesting
that his policies must be given the upper
hand or, at least a glad hand by the
stumpers, and Senator Elkins wants them
to tell how he stood with the President
through thick and thin, there is another ele-
ment for consideration. The people are
showing tendency to decide what they
shall be entertained and informed.
The trend of affairs is further enivened
by tho desperate and expensive pursuit of
the printing press by the factions. Deals
galore to secure msurgent mouthpieces
show mystifying influence back of the
anu-Elkins movement.

as one of the best political fighters in the
state.
He firmly believes that a majority of the
ballots in the election three years ago
were cast for him. He has democratic
friends who are of the same mind and who
have promised TO vote for Mr.. Wachter
should he again be a candidate for the
mayoralty. While Mr.. Wachter has not for

All Playing Politics.


With the Baltimore mayoralty election
over year off, candidates are springing
up on all sides and each aspirant even now
Is nursing his little boomIet most assidu-
ously This is especially true in the demo-
cratic ranks, and man within that party
who IS not mentioned as a candidate or
who is not fixing mp fences becomes notable
because Of the fact that he has not been
regarded as a mayoralty possibility OF
course 1t is taken for granted that the next
democratic mayoralty candidate will be
selected by the city boss. Free Rasin. but
tAese little booms and boomlets now at
tracing attention serve to furnish amuse-
ment TO the merrymakers in the organi-
zation.
- On the republican side there will be two
candidates-Mayor Timanus and Represen-
tatiye Nachter. The mayor has aroused
the hostility of the labor element by his
stand on the Dawkns Chinese wall labor
Dill At first the labor element had every
reason TO believe that Mayor Timanus was
favorable to the bill. Later on. however,
the mayor announced his opposition to the
measure, and as a result his name will ap-
pear on the political blacklist of the local
Federation of Labor. The mayor in thus
changing from one side to the other it is
claimed, not only aroused the enmity of
the labor element, but likewise lost the
support OF the moneyed interests The
mayors friends assert that his position re-
gardlng this labor exclusion bin had at all
times been the same, and that his attitude
had been misunderstood

BALTIMORE. Md, April I, 1906
The adjournment Of the legislature with
out having passed q fair elections bill
leaves the democratic state organization
in the same strong position it has occupied
since 1901, when the present iniquitous ball
lot law was framed and forced through the
legislature under the lash. Never at any
time during the session did the democratic
machine managers have the slightest inten-
ton Of permitting fair election law to be
passed The trick ballot machinery and
the Wilson law are two of the most val
liable assets in the machine camp So long
as the organization can manipulate the bal
lots through the election officials there Is
little danger of the big machine leaders be-
ing retired from the politics of the state.
During the next two years there viii be
CHOSEN governor, legislature, which
VIII elect United States senator a mayor
OF baltimore city and two branches of the
city council of this city. Whether Gov
warmed VIII be a candidate for a second
term Is a Inatter that is causing much con-
cern to- the organization leaders They
fully realize that the governor is pretty
strong within the party and that should
ne make up his mind to run they will find
themselves practically powerless TO prevent
his denomination. Again should the gov
ernoF decide to enter the senatorial fight,
they would find themselves up against
pretty hard proposition to elect a legisla-
ture which could he depended upon to de-
ieat any aims of the governor in this di-
rectlon In other words. while Mr.. War
Ield Is not altogether the state leader he
mas the whtphand to a certain extent in the
political situation and is a power that
must be reckoned with In the coming cam
palgns. In any event one thing ascertain,
and that is that developments within the

Senator Will Have a Contest.

Senator Will Have Contest.
It is now considered a certainty that Ell
kins will have opponents in the legislative
sition, but the still hunt, or gum-shoe
tactics. may be carried on until the caucus
meets. the anti-Elkins men being unable
to agree on a candidate. Intima tons are
given from fairly authentic sources that
the anti-Elkins men Will abide by the
caucus.
This is the first declaration to this effect,
and it will be received wiIl pleasure by re-
publicans generally who have been disturb
ed by the frequent runors that in the event
of a failure to beat Elkns a coalition
would be formed with democrats for that
purpose. Color TO these rumors was given
by the action of the insurgents in refusing
to go into caucus last winter at Charleston
and by their frequent fusions with demo-
Gratis against state administration meas
ures.
AS the railroad issue has completely up
turned or overturned West Virginia poll
tics so has 1t wiped out absolutely the pre-
liminary plans for the republican campaign
state executive committee last December.
At that meeting it was unanimously agreed
that the state tax question would be not
only paramount, but the only subject of dis
cussion. Nothing else was discussed Au-
thority was accordingly delegated to sub
committee of two to open headquarters IN
Charleston and compile and circulate tax
literature. This subcommittee was to have
opened up for business in February In
the meantime the doings in Washington
precipitated railroad regulate
