OFF FOR LONDON TODAY
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS GIVES
PARTING SHOTS.

NEW YORK, July 14.-Before sailing to-
day for London. where he goes as dele
gate to the international parliamentary
congress, John Sharp Williams, minority
leader In the House, gave it as his opinion
that President Roosevelt would consent to
run again. Il think" said Mr. Williams
that the President is planning it so that
he will be forced to make the race. The
President rather reminds me of the old lady
OF Saragossa, who hung about asking when
the gentlemen were going to begin the kiss
ing, as she wanted to be there"
Continuing, Mr.. Williams said 1.-The re-
publican party has fallen behind the mark
Profuse in promises, it has not lived up to
what 1t promised. For one thing, the party
refused to go into the question of tariff re-
vision. as was promised. There is a feeling
is growing. feeling of unrest always acts
to the disadvantage of the party in power"
The minority leader declared that "W. ].
Bryan is the logical candidate of the demo-
cratic party"
Mr.. Williams did not say whether he in
tended to meet Mr.. Bryan in Europe. He
refused to serve on the Bryan reception
committee which will welcome the former
democratic candidate in New York next
month.
When the interview Of John Sharp Will
liams was shown to Mr.. Loeb, secretary to
the President today, Mr. Loeb said: The
President meant exactly what he said on
the night Of his election, that he would not
be a candidate again for the office. That
statement Is irrevocable.'

TO BOOM THE BONDS
SECRETARY SHAW CALLS FOR
RETURN OF DEPOSITS.

Secretary Shaw is performing some feats
In the line of making a good market for
his output Of $50, 600 600 Panama bonds that
are Of interest to financial circles and to
national banks especially. He believes that
before he gets through with his plans the
market price of per cent bonds will ad-
vance to a figure that will enable him to
get good sum for the Panama securities.
Last fall when there was a stringency in
the money market the Secretary of the
Treasury placed with the national banks In
the large cities of the country about s1O-
100000 Of deposits of government money,
accepting state and municipal bonds as
securities therefor. He has notified these
banks that they must return to the govern
ment these deposits, which means the
taking out of trade channels of that
amount of money. To offset this, however,
the Secretary recently designated a large
number Of small banks as depositaries. Of
fering to place with them about 81, 100000
He has telegraphed these banks that they
must put up government bonds by We'd
nesday of next week, the date of the sale
of the Panama, If they desire to secure
the deposits offered them. The effect of
this action of Secretary Shaw Is to force
sharp demand for government bonds, espe-
cially per cents and to run the price up
by the time of the bond sale next week.
There was an advance of per cent bonds
in New York yesterday and a further ad-
vance was expected to day. Secretary
Shaw hopes that his plans will advance the
market for these securities at least / point
feeling that the effect will be to secure
much bigger bids for the Panama bonds
next week.
Secretary Shaw also expects. to make fur
ther deposits of government money after
the bids for the Panama bonds have been
received and opened. He expects to place
with the national banks in all about $40
00O, COO holding that this will relieve the
difficulty that will be experienced in taking
from the banks over s30,000,OO0 to pay for
the bonds and s10,000,000 more that de-
positaries must pay The total Withdrawals
of money from trade channels WILL 1t is
noticed, aggregate more than $4,000, GOO.
and this at a time when money Is COM
manding a high rate of interest for this
season of the year.

LIBERALS JUb|[ANT
British Fleet Will Not Witt Rus
sian Waters.
REAL MOTIVE WITHHELD
The Decision Declared Reached by
Common Accord.
INDIGNATION AT BIALYSTOK
Opinion Supports Change Due Humt-
iation at Difference Between Hus-
sian and English Fleets.

ST. PETERSBURG, July a.
The liberals are jubilant at the post
ponement of the visit of the British
channel fleet to Russian waters,
which they regard as being open
recognition of the fact that public
sentiment in both countries is hos
tile to such an official exchange of
courteses while the people and gov
ernrnent of Russia are at war.
Although the official announcement took
pains to show that the decision to post
pone the visit was reached by common ac-
cord. it does not reveal the real motive,
which, in the case of Russia, was not so
much Difference to public opinion as to the
admiralty's sense of humiliation at the
sorry spectacle the remnants of Russia's
navy would cut in the presence of the pow
erful British feet and fear that Its ar
rival at Cronstadt would mark another mu-
tinous outbreak on the part of the sailors
and garrison of that fortress, evidences OF
a propaganda for such an outbreak spread
by the revolutionists of Cronstadt, having
been discovered by the admiralty here.
The British government although it orig
inally proposed the visit, was only too glad
to postpone it on account of the storm of
Indignation raised by the anti-Jewish out
break at Bialystok. The Russian liberals
expect that the sympathy of the people of
Great Britain with the cause of liberty In
Russia will be further manifested by a
great demonstration upon the arrival In
London of the deputation of the Russian
parliament sent to attend the conference
of the interparliamentary union, July %.

RAMIE CULTURE.
Claim That Simple Machine has
Been Designed to Remove the Gum


friends of ramie culture have again come
to the front with the claim that simple
and inexpensive machine has been designed
to remove the gum from the plant and to
permit its being spun and woven as easily
as cotton or fax. For the benefit of those
not familiar with ramie 1t may be said that
ramie is q species of gigantic nettle that
carries directly beneath its outer bark a
fiber that can be woven alone or in con-
q beautiful silky appearance. According to
advices to the Department of Commerce
and Labor It Is now being produced In
China to an extent that promises to have
an important effect on the markets of the
world.
1t has been the dream of ramie culturists
for many years to find some way of utiliz-
ing the fiber end getting rid of the gum.
The Department Of Agriculture has a stack
of correspondence on the subject that would
fill a file case, and there are visions of
wealth for any one who will perfect the de-
cumming machine and scarcely less wealth
for the farmers who will raise the ramie.
The plant is unlike cotton in that 1t is not
an annual crop. Once planted, 1t stays
put" and the same field is said to be good
for dozen years. The plant does not ripen
evenly either, but as soon part of 1t Is
pulled goes on growing with unabated in
dustry, and in the most favored sections of
this country 1t Is said 1t will produce four
crops year. 1t is also claimed that 1t will
produce three or four tons of fiber to the
acre.
II the report of the new maeerating ma
chine is true 1t is very important event
and would mean great deal in money to
this country.

There has been slight increase in the re-
ceipts each month for an indefinite length
of time and the falling Off although very
slight was the subject of some comment
among postal authorities. Cashier Merritt.

crease has no particular significance, and
that the years business will doubtless av-
erage up to the standard that has been set
in past years. allowing for a reasonable
increase.

JOE LETTER SOUGHT BY JEROME
AS WITNESS.

NEW YORK, July 14.-Joseph Letter OF
Chicago is being sought by District Attor-
ney Jerome to appear as a witness in the
Thaw murder case, according to q report
which gained considerable circulation to-
day.

trict attorneys office to have Mr.. Letter
tell the details of a dinner dance some time
ago at which Nina Harrington, the actress,
was a guest.
According to today's report the search for
Letter began result of revelations made
to Assistant District Attorney Garvan by

ined in connection with the case.
Thaw's Mother Expected Today.
1. Is possible that Harry Thaw may not
be able to see his mother If she arrived to-
day from Europe, or even tomorrow. as it
probably will be impossible for her to OBJ
tain the permission necessary to permit
her to see her son after the usual visiting
hours on Sunday. Commissioner Lantry,
the only person who can authorize such
permission. is out of town today and can
not be reached. The steamer Kaiserin
Auguste Victoria upon which Mrs. Thaw is
a passenger, is expected to reach her dock
about $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon.
Thaw received a wireless telegram from
his mother today. The message was sent
from the steamer Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria, upon which Mrs. Thaw Is returning
from Europe. 1t evidently was of cheer
ing character. as the prisoner seemed un-
usually happy after receiving 1t.

fore the hearing. When asked if the de-
tense would be given an opportunity to
combat the testimony Mr.. Robb said that
would depend upon the view of the case
taken by the alderman.
1t is probable the divorce case will not be
resumed Monday as the forty famous let
ters are still in the custody of Mr.. Hartje' s
counsel, and Attorney Freeman, counsel for
Mrs. Hartje. says he will not be ready to
proceed with the trial at that time unless

placed on the stand again when the case
resumes and some entirely new evidence on

terday afternoon and during the session the
court room was alive with detectives
1t was rumored that as soon as he tesri-
fed sensation would be sprung, although
what its nature was could not be learned.
