MEAT INSPECTION PROVISION


the credit for the election of Col. H. A. Du-
pont as senator from Delaware to Sena-
tor Alice, which will not be particularly
pleasing satisfactory to j. Edward Ad
dicks. Senator Alice was at the White
House today to confer with the President
about some Delaware affairs. When he was
asked about the interview of Addicks de-
claring that the election of Dupont elm
mated Alice from further leadership in
Delaware and that the whole thing was ar
ranged by himself and Col. Dupont Sena-
tor Alice did not care to give an interview,
but referred to telegram he received the
morning after the election of Dupont This
telegram was from President Roosevelt to
Senator Alice, and was as follows:
Telegram received. l am much pleased
with the good news you send and heartily
congratulate you upon the result which
you have been so instrumental in bringing
about, and | congratulate even more heart
lily the republicans of Delaware.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
In the face of such a telegram DIS this
Senator Alice is not giving much concern
to the boasts of Addcks that he and Du-
pont will hereafter control things in Della
ware, and Will put Alice out of the game.
1t is well known at the White House that
Senator Alice has throughout conducted
the movement for the elimination of Al
dicks from Delaware politics. He engineer
ed the deal which brought about a change
in the control of the organization of the
union republicans the Addcks follow
ers were called, and followed this with
dicker with the anti-Addicks people as TO
the election of senator President Roose-
welt was Informed throughout as to what
Senator Alice was doing and cordially APP
proved his steps giving him all the aid
possible in the way of federal patronage.
1t is thought that he will show his further
appreciation of Alice by giving him still
Vfrar no ~r, So, MI.
Belief Of the President.
1t is the belief of both the President and
Senator Alice that Addicks is dead
duck in Delaware in the future His boast
that he has arranged a deal with Dupont
by which Addicks will be elected to the
Senate by the next legislature in place of
Alice is not given much weight by those
familiar with the facts. If there is any un-
Outstanding at all IL Is believed TO exist
between Alice and Dupont. who worked
together throughout the recent contest
for the legislature and planned the scheme
tnat brought the legislature together with
a promise that each member would abide
the result of the caucus Senator Alice will
be candidate to succeed himself, and his
friends say they expect him to be returned.
1t is not believed that Addicks will try to
get revenge by electing a democratic leg
islature.
Funeral of the Presidents Uncle.
The funeral of Robert B. Roosevelt. VINO
is dead at Sayvlle. his Long Island home
will take place next Monday. 1t has not
been determined whether the President win
attend. He desires TO do so, but the cos
ing days of Congress may give him so much
work that ne may be compelled TO remain
here.
President Roosevelt was not at the White
House during the morning, and many Wis
itors who called found him attending the
commencement exercises of the Georgetown
University. One of the callers was Vice
President Fairbanks, who will leave
Washington this afternoon for Indianapolis
TO welcome the National Editorial Associa-
ton. that is 10 hold its sessions in that
city.
Beveridge and Meat Inspection.
Senator Beveridge. calling at the White
House today. expressed the opinion that
Congress would not adopt the meat in
spection provision that has been reported
by the House committee on agriculture.
THE funny part OF it, said the Indiana
senator. lis that the House committee has
retained all the features of my amendment
that were pronounced unconstitutional and
has added some more OF the same sort.
But any provision that the government
shall pay the cost Of inspection will not be
accepted. That would mean a victory for
the packers and they are not entitled to IL.
National banks pay the cost of examina-
tion and inspection by the creation of a
fund for that purpose and IL is perfectly
fair that the packers shall do so. Nobody
thinks for minute that the money will
come out of their pockets in the end. The
people will have 10 pay il as they do every
thing else"
Representative Wachter called on the
President with some Baltimore republic ans.
They asked the President to give consular
appointment in Germany to Louis Michel,
the Baltimore poet.
