ROOSEVELT PENROSE
PRESIDENTS RELATIONS WITH
PENNsYLvANIA's BOSS.
A Bargain for Support Of Barnes
Appointment Sus-
pected.

Washington correspondence of the New York Times.
Yesterdays boss-ridden convention in
Pennsylvania has created today a great deal
of discussion at the Capitol about President
Roosevelts relation to It. Senator Penrose
has been openly and even ostentatiously
proclaimfng his alliance with the President.
He and his lieutenants. the old Martin-Lane
outfit. who were In the saddle at Harris
burg, have given everybody to understand
that they were carrying out the President s
wishes. and that he stood with them as
against the city party people.
No denial has come from the White House,
though Penrose has been allowing this i'm
preston to become current for weeks. A lot
Of Congressman would like to know how
much there is in 1t for their own guidance
in their various states. and the reformers
are worried. In Ohio last year the admins
tration took a firm stand against Boss Cox
and was lukewarm to Gov. Herrick because
Of the machine character Of his support. 1t
created the impression that the adminstra-
ton was out against bossism everywhere,
and this impression was made use OF by the
city party of Philadelphia in electing it's re-
form ticket. Now the Pehrose machine in
Pennsylvania Is using the contrary impress
sion.
Mr.. Roosevelt's relations with Penrose are
peculiar. The Pennsylvania senator Is the
head and front OF the administrations at
tempt to have Benjamin F. Barnes made
postmaster Of Washington. Barnes is the
Presidents assistant secretary, and the man
who directed the removal Of Mrs. Minor
Morris from the White House last winter.
Because of the Morris matter Senator Till
man is opposing Barnes confirmation, and
1t has been hanging fire in the Senate for a
long time.
Penrose has been Barnes champion. and
has displayed heat entirely inexplicable by
any personal interest of his in Barnes. If
Penrose should grow lukewarm Barnes
would not be confirmed. He is the only SEN
ator who has displayed any great degree Of
enthusiasm In the assistant secretary 8
cause. and he has certainly done yeoman
work for Barnes. 1t Is he who has distrib-
uted among senators the evidence against
Mrs. Morris which was collected by the po-
lice of WASHINGTON in Asheville and else
where. some of which has been branded as
false by evidence obtained by The Wash
fngton Evening Star. 1t is he who has pre-
vented the summoning Of witnesses favor
able to Mrs. Morris. whose names were sub
mitted by Mr.. Tfllman. The South Caro-
linian demanded that they be summoned,
and they would have been but for Penrose.
If the President should disavow any con-
nection with the boss-made ticket at Har-
risburg Barnes path would become very
rocky. His position Is therefore one of deli
cacy.

Bv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, April 15.-The
Easter festival the anniversary of the
Jewish massacres at Kishineff and
other places, happily was not stained
this year, so far as was reported to
midnight, by anti-Jewish excesses.
Minister of the Interior Durnovo pub
lished a notice to his subordinates,
stating that it was not necessary for
them to call on him, and in the midst
of general surprise his retirement from
office was announced, but this declina-
ton of regulations is regarded as an
other intimation that his relinquish-
ment of office is, only matter of a
few days.
Count Witte for the moment seems to
have downed his rival, the elections
having strengthened his position
greatly and enabled him to lay the
blame for repressions on M. Durnovo.
The further Easter honors announced
today are the following:
The order of Vladimir of the first
class is bestowed upon Nicholas Lody-
gensky consul general at New York;
the order of Stanislaus of the second
class upon Paul Kozakevitch, consul at
San Francisco the order of Vladimir of
the third class upon NJ. Wolfant, charge

NEW YORK. April ia statement
given out tonight by the Equitable Life
Assurance society says:
Investigation shows that the fears
engendered by the developments of the
year resulted in the lapsing of 81, 1886
policies for $1,000 or under, while only
one policy for $25O,OOO was allowed to
lapse.
"Of the entire volume of lapsed
policies in the Equitable, 81 per cent
were for $4,000 or less"
In commenting on the results of the
efforts to restore the standing of lapsed
policy holders, President Morton today
said:
MY belief that the small policy
holder was the chief sufferer from the
agitation and excitement regarding life
insurance is now confiEmed. The hold
ers of policies of $4,000 and upward are
generally men of business experience.
Through fear based on misapprehen-
sion of the real facts and often on mis-
representation, thousands of small pol
Icy holders allowed their policies to
