After Fairbanks
VICE PRESIDENTS NAME ON HIS
BLACK LIST FOR oPPos-
ING AMENDMENTS

WASHINGTON D. c., July 30. -
The name OF Vice President Fairbanks
stands at the head of the I4aFollette
blacklist. That is to say, Fairbanks
is classed with those Republican SEN
ators who voted against the LaFolette
amendments to the railroad rate bill,
and the Wisconsin Senator promises
to make It warm for the Vice PreSi-
dent as we'll as the countless Sena-
tors who opposed him. This threat
to attack Senators who voted Gowti
his amendments to the rate bill is 81.
ing to hurt LaFollette more than the
Senators he assails. There is no JUS
tice in the attack, to begin with. The
IaFollette amendments were not nee.
essary to make the bill effective, or
else president Roosevelt wouldS hay
discovered their good points, ard
would have insisted upon their adoP+
ton. ON the contrary, the Presiaeft
did not urge the adoption of single
one Of them and the only votes -tha.g
received aside from that of LaFollette
himself, came from Democratic sena'
tors But SO far as Fairbanks is con-
cerned, LaFollette has no 1ustlftca-
ton whatever for his arbitrary course.
Fairbanks did not vote against the
amendments; he was not in a position
to place obstacles in their path, and
his opposition was not necessary to
defeat them. This man LaFolletto,
while he has some good points, is
bent on making an ass Of himself and
his. wholesale attack upon his col
leagues is the worst stroke he has
made yet. He win find when he gets
through that he places higher estt-
mate upon. his opinions than the peo-
pie do.

EY QUESTION.
Special Gable to The New York Times.
Copyright, 1906.

LONDON, July 2s.-If Mr.. Bryan is
the Democratic candidate for Presf-
dent in 1908 and the conditions that
shape political issues undergo no ma
terial change during the intervening
period, he will go before the country
on three issues, on which he will make
his fight for election. He will stand
for tariff revision. for legislation to
curb and regulate the trusts. and for
the establishment Of an understanding
that the Fflipinos shall be allowed to
govern themselves as soon as it APP
pears that they are fit for self-soyern-
ment.
There will be no declaration in H1r:
Bryan's platform in regard to the
money question, which he now regards
as dead issue although, as he show
ed in a recent interview. he has no
apologies to make for the position he
took on that question in 1S9G and
1900.
One of Mr.. Bryan's closest friends,
and one who undoubtedly knows what
he is talking about, tells me that Mr..
Bryan when he prepared that inter
view meant to put into it his last
word about the silver question. II
do not think" said my informant
that he contemplates uttering any
thing further on that subject. He left
the past behind him with the, few
words about it that that interview con
tains. Possibly j he might have got
along with even fewer words, but I
dare say he wrote the interview hur-
riedIy and did not look at it when it
was done. From all possible points cf
view 1t is all over now. From this
time on think you will sec him
marching with eyes to the front, and
I trust united and enthusiastic Dem
ocratic party will be associated with
him.

unoHicially assigned for the change
being that the Pennsylvania directors
did not desire being criticised as
dominating the board o. the railroad
which they control. AT that time it
Was intfmated thar somewhat SINH

was followed yesterday by the report
that similar changes would be made

There is at present vacancy m
the Baltimore and Ohio board of iii
rectors, which has never been hllei
since Jacob H. schiaf, head of the
banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., re.
signed several months ago. This firm
made public the announcement about
the time Mr.. schtff retired that its
members would retire from the d.
rectorates OF all public corporations
on which they were then serving and
that the policy would be to accept
no further positions of that charac-
ter.
The recent investigation of the az
fairs of the Baltimore and Ohio AMI
the Pennsylvania by the Interstate
commerce commission, with some
awkward and embarrassing disclos-
ures, it is said. is the principal fea-
son why the Pennsylvania directors
intend to resign from the directorate
of other railroad companies. 1T is
no secret that the PennsVlyania holds
in its own treasury, and in that OF its
subsidiary concerns, fully 40 per
cent. OF the Baltimore and Ohio stock.

The Baltimore and ouiu has foun.l
it advisable to withdraw its officers
from the direct management of the

the Pennsylvania, 4 is said, may find
lit equally as advantageous to with
draw its own officers from the direc
