BY HIS WORD

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-President
Roosevelt has made known once more
that he meant what he said on election
night, 1903. when he announced that
under no circumstances would he al
low the use of his name in connection
with a nomination for another term
as President.
He has reiterated his purpose Of re-
firing with even more emphasis than
that INDUCED in at the time of his tri-
umph over Parker. and this is due to
constantly recurring announcements of
friends that hes must run again, be-
cause Bryan is to be the Democratic
candidate and can beat any Republican
except Roosevelt
Mr. Roosevelt finds holding
much more congenial since he put be-
hind all thought of being his own sue
cessor He does not have to plaeate
any enemies or make new friends and
he can take any position on public af-
fairs without counting the cost in pop
ularity There is little doubt that
Mr. Roosevelt after he retires from the
Presidency would like to represent New
York in the Senate.

OAKLAND. Dec. e-Another week
of the holiday season has passed and
still the expected midwinter lull in the

last six days as at any time since the
beginning of the present rush of bust
ness on, the east shore of the bay.
Not alone is this condition true OF
the real estate business, but also in
every other line of commercial activity
In this city. Already every store in
Oakland is thronged with holiday shop
pers, and although merchants in all
lines prepared for a much greater
volume of business this year than last
they find there is danger that the
supply will fail to meet the demand

both are better. Oakland now has both

TOO TOUCHY
 SAYS TELLER
Speaking of the Pres
 ident'S Friends
They Regard a Defense of the Sen- ate's Rights as an Attack Upon iAs Chief Executive.

Washington, Jan 24.-Mr. Lodge to- day presented in. the senate his views on the policy of the administration In the matter of the AIgeciras conference over Morocco and also with reference to Santo Domingo. He defended the course of the president in both in- stances, contending that our repre- sentation at the Moroccan conference was essential to the protection of American commercial interests and that only by the course pursued in Santo Domingo could foreign nations have been prevented from seizing the custom houses of that country and se- curing a position there which might threaten the approaches to the Pana- ma canal
 In closing, MT. Lodge said: s-TheSe attacks, MT. President are aimed at the president of the United States with the idea apparently of creating an i'm pression that he is a usurper seeking to break thrugh the constitutional linn itations which have been drawn about his great office Every step the presi- dent has taken has been in the interest of peace. our own peace and that of the world"
 MT. Teller followed MT. Lodge in defense of the privileges of the senate III the mater or treaties Ae com plained of what he charged was ten dency to refer to the opposition to treaty as an attack on the president With reference to the Santo Domingo matter he said that the executive de- partment was proceeding just as it would if the treaty had been ratified He agreed with NIT. Lodge that condi tiOns in SantO Domingo might become such as to necessitate the interference of the United States but he urged that the executive alone could not take that step. He contended that in Santo Do mingO the president had attempted to do what only an act of congress could justify.

CONFLICTING NEWS.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 24.-The latest news from the wreck of the Valencia is conflicting and discouraging. The report from the steamship Queen that twenty-five passengers were clinging to the vessel rigging and no possible chance of saving any of them was fol- lowed by the story that the wreck had gone to pieces. The Queen was at the outer dock at Victoria when the first dispatch was sent As only fifteen sur vivOrs have been heard from so far, it is probable that the loss of life will reach the estimate of 40 sent out late this afternoon.
