GROSVENOR CLAIMS HOUSE
Republican PrognOsticator Has It
all Figured Out.
Tells President Parfy's Majority In
Than 80, Possibly 80.

Gen. Charles II. Grosvenor. Of Ohio.
official pFognosticator Of the Republican
party, has figured it all out. He reckons
that there viii be a probable Republican
majority in the next House OF Represen-
tatives of fifty, certainly a safe majority
OF thirty. The genral, who will not be
among those present in the next Con-
gress. having been defeated for renomina-
ton, has spent the past two days in
Washington, going over the political sit
uation with the President and others.
THIS is what he has told them about the
next House
The Republican majority in the present
House Is III Out of that number, there
are forty-one districts represented by Re
publicans that. In the Fifty-eighth Con-
gress were represented by Democrats
Add to these the one Missouri district
normally Democratic, in which there was
q contest, making fOrty-two in all. Con-
ceding all these TO the Democrats, the
present Republican majority would be re-
duced by eighty-foUr votes. leaving a
majority Of thirty. But, il is fair TO as
sumo that the Republicans will hold at
least ten out Of the fOrty-twO. This
would mean a probable Republican ma
jority OF not less than fifty in the next
House
There is nothing surer than the re-
election Of Uncle Joe Cannon as Speaker.
and that the next House viii have a
Roosevelt-suppo-ting standpat-Republican
majority

SEEK AID IN ADDIGKS FIGHT
Senators Alice and Dupont Call at
the White House.
Fear a Democrat May Be Sent to the
Upper HOuse-Much UneaEinexS
Throughout the state.

Assistance was sought from the Admin
istration yesterday by Senators Alice and
Dupont for the political fight they are
now waging in Delaware. Both Senators
were AT the White House yesterday. ac-
eompanied by Judge Ball, and they ex-
planned the situation to the President.
There is a bitter hight now in progress
in the State, as a result of the recent
return Of Addicks to political activity
and, there is a fear that as a result Of
this contest a, Democratic Senator may be
chosen by the next legislature in Allee's
place.
\ great amount of antagonism was
aroused by the rivalry of the two fac
tons at the recent primaries, and ru-
mors have been afloat Of determination
on the part of Addicks to secure the re-
tirement Of his former lieutenant. even
if it should be necessary to return a
Democrat.
Further uneasiness has been created in
the Alice ranks By statements given out
with considerable freedom by Addicks in
timating that Col. Dupont had become
his ally. When these statements were
called to the attention of Senator Du-
pont yesterday he merely shrugged his
shoulders and remarked:
ANY one who knows me ought TO
know how much credence 10 place in
such reports as that
The fact that he called with his col
league at the White House to secure
aid for the legislative campaign. how
ever, is regarded as sufficient refutation
Of the stories.

ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN.
Southern Paper Thinks the One As
Radical As the Other.

From The New Orleans Picayne
Il would be difficult to find any prop
osition advanced by Mr.. Bryan. in re-
gard to government control more radical
than the argument put forth in Presi-
dent Roosevelts address in favor of
rapid and extreme ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF
the powers of the Federal government
and tho assumption of control over all
great aggregations OF corporate and pri-
vate wealth President Roosevelt has
not contented himself with the state
meut Of q single radical proposal II
has filed mis- address with his advocacy
Of Federal control of every source Of
power. particularly that which operates
through financial and industrial combi-
nations
The President is one OF the shrewdest
politicians in the entire country. and in
appealing 20 the elements of the body
polite that are hostile 10 all aggregated
wealth he has already seen that this ele-
ment is going 10 be powerful factor in
the next national campaign 1t Is true
that the Southern Democratic leaders
have baked at Mr.. BTyans government
ownership ideas, and if the Southern
Democrats agree with their leaders and
follow them, then the South will defeat
Mr. Bryan. But it is doubtful if the
leaders viii be able to speak for the
people at the South any more than the
Republican conservatives can for those
at the North.
At any rate, there is going to be a
strong set of the popular current to-
ward radicalism. and President ROOse-
welt. in his character of political mana
ger. viii play IL for all it is worth.

SHAW AVOIDED LOCAL ISSUES
Declines to Discuss State Politics in
Pittsburg Speech.
Says He VIII Not Tell Republicans
Discusses National Questions.

Pittsburg. Pa, Oct. 15.-Secretary Of the
Treasury Shaw came to Pittsburg to-day
as the principal speaker at a Republican
rally in the Duquesne Garden. There
was somewhat OF clash when the Cabi-
net Official declined positively to discuss
state politics in his speech. Secretary
Shaw also declined TO attack any one Ia
New York State on political grounds.
even though it was told him that such
was evidently the desire of the State
bosses OF Pennsylvania.
When urged at his hotel to take up
certain lines In his address Of the night,
Mr.. Shaw said.
NO; I will discuss only the principles
Of the Republican party in my address.
] shall not presume 10 dictate TO the
voter in Pennsylvania how he shall vote
on State or local issues. I am not ia
miliar with these issues. and ] would be
egOtistical TO presume to dictate While
there is a warm fight on in Pennsylvania.
I cannot see how it will affect any Con-
gressiOual situation, and for that reason
I viii not mention the name Of President
Roosevelt. even in my speech"
Secretary Shaw stood firm in his posi-
ton. and would not give out any line OF
speech before the meeting.
In his speech this evening Secretary
Shaw dealt altogether with national mat
tiers, and did not touch State issues. He
discussed the tariff on the ground that
there should be an increase in the pur-
chase of competitive articles from abroad.
in the hope of enlarging our export trade.

SUGAR REBATE CASE CALLED
Effort to Quash Charges as to Road

Count in Indictment Charging Com
sDirhcy Dismissed-Jury selected
and Testimony Begins To-day.

New York, Oct. l5.-The long delayed
trial of the New York Central Railroad
Company, charged by the United States
with having violated the EIkins law
and Disseminated in rates in favor of
the American Sugar Refining Company.
Z. GOodlOe Edgar. and Edwin Earle, the
latter two sugar jobbers of Detroit.
Mich, was begun to-day before Judge
Holt and a jury in the United States
Circuit Court. criminal branch.
The government was represented by
United States District Attorney Stimson.
The New York Central was represented
by the chief of its legal department, w.
". Harris, Austen G. Fox, and John D.
Lindsay. Mr. Lindsay represented more
especially the two leading traffic man
ayers of the railroad, Nathan Guilford
vice president. and Frederick L. Pome-
roy, general traffic manager. who were
jointly indicted with the road.
At first the grand jury found a separ-
ate BILL charging Guilford, Pomeroy.
Edgar. and Earle with conspiracy to
violate the laws Of the United States
under a section of the Revised Statutes,
separate and distinct from the Elkins
act, and which carried with It, upon con-
viotion, a penal punishment. Demurrers
to the indictment were interposed upon
the ground that Congress did not in
tend 10 infict any such punishment for
violating the ElkinS act, otherwise it
would have so specified when It was
passed The demurrer was sustained, and
the conspiracy item was dismissed.
Mr.. Lindsay informed Judge Holt at
the beginning of the session to-day that
Vice President GuilfOrd was i'll and could
not be present in court. Judge Holt or
dered that the trial proceed against all
the defendants except Mr.. GuilfOrd.
The defense objected to the trial Of
Guilford and PomerOy in conjunction with
the railway. 1t was eOntended by Mr..
Lindsay that it would prejudice his eli
ents interests individually. The court
ruled against the contention.
Judge Holt. after hearing an extended
argument by Attorney Fox, denied the
motion Of the defense to quash the item
against the New York Central and its
vice president, Nathan Guilford. and
Frederick L. Pomeroy, general traffic
manager, and the trial will proceed to-
morrow, when the presentation of evil
dence viii begin.
No difficulty was experienced in select
ing a jury.
