Frankfort KY, Jan. 2.-In his mes

without proper and effective state and
federal regulation of railroads, whose
owners and managers seek to earn the
largest possible dividends for the
stockholders. The power of the rail-

discussing insurance, he said:

Mr.. Chamberlain declares that he be-
lieves the unionist party to be abso-
lutely agreed regarding these aims.
though he admits that there may be
some differences Of opinion when the
time comes to discuss the methods by
which these aims are to be accom-
plished He says, however, that these
differences Of opinion probably are. ex-
aggerated and that they are matters
more of verbal distinction than OF
practical Importance.
Continuing. Mr.. Chamberlain says:
"I believe our objects can be fully at
tained by a moderate general tariff SCI
entifically adapted to the existing con-
ditions Of our trade and SO arranged as
to secure the largest amount of em-
ployment at fair wages for our peo-
pie. 1t would necessarily provide for
the free admission Of raw materials
and Of articles which we do not make
ourselves, while it would place a toll
on the manufactures Of those countries
which do not treat us fairly.
"Our policy is constructive and prac-
tical, while the policy of our opponents
is destructive and theoretical"

The apprehensions in France appear
to be due to a reasonable certainty that
Germany will oppose Frances position
at the Moroccan conference, now only
fortnight off, and also to the feeling
that Frances yellow book on Moroc-
CO went. rather too far in accusing
Germany of assuming a provocative
latitude and charging her with bad
faith The French government, 1t Is
asserted here, is aware that these
charges placed Germany in an un-
pleasant light; that the German gov
ernment resents them and will reply to
them firmly This reply may lead to
continued discussion in the press and
between the public men Of the two
countries British sentiment, it is stat
ed in Berlin, is known to be adding to
the mistrust of Germany existing In
France, especially in the case of nom
official influence. such as recent utter
ances of Sir Charles Dixie and the
military correspondent of the London
Times last week. But in every well
posted quarter here, diplomatic, finan-
cial and military, the statement Is
made that war between Germany and

NEW BUILDING INADEQUATE.
Chicago Postoffice Not tho Structure
It Should Be.

Washington. Jan 2-Postmaster
General Cortelyou says that the Chi
cago federal building is lamentably de-
ficient in many essential particulars.
The first assistant postmaster general
explains that Mr.. Cortelyou means by
stating that what postoffice needs
most is broad expanse of uninterrupt-
ed floor space, with an abundance of
evenly diffused light. The Chicago
building has broad expanse of floor
space, but is not evenly diffused
There are too many floors and too lit
tie light Moreover, there are too many
draughts and too few partitions.
Eventually, the officials of the post
office department believe, congress will
have to appropriate enough money to
give Chicago a new postoffice build
ing similar to that which is now being
constructed in New York. The New
York building will possess the o9va1-
tage of being located close to the only
railroad terminal on Manhattan island.
Obviously, similar building in Chi
cago would have to be located at
central point where it would be equal
ly accessible to Chicago's numerous
railroad terminals One solution of the
problem that has been suggested and
seriously considered involves the es-
tablishment of posto1ices In close

London, Jan. $50 far the letter of
Cameron Corbett, parliamentary
candidate for Glasgow in the union in

bassador Reid and Premier Camp
bell -Bannerman to the alleged uncon-

M. Mason who, Mr. Corbett said, at a
meeting of his constituents announced
that in friendly interview which he
had with President Roosevelt at Wash
ington the president expressed his
hearty sympathy with the liberal par

much attention in political circles.
The Times, however, says editorially
that it does not believe President
Roosevelt said what has been imputed
to him. but agrees with Mr. Corbett in
saying that the president might make
some disclaimer and thereby render
impossible any future misrepresenta-
ton. The Times incidentally recalls
the Sackville incident.

existence on Irish votes, he devoted
himself entirely to an exposition Of his

of colonial preference, which he speaks
of as the first item in the constructive

first being the policy Of retaliation.
He declares that the colonies will not
wait indefinitely, but will be forced to
enter into arrangements with strang-

He points ont that the scheme of
colonial preference will include pro-
vision for small tax on foreign wheat
but says that as both homegrown and

Paynter's strength, as indicated in the
vote for caucus chairman, was insult
fhcient to elect him as senator and that
several members who voted for Gooch
for chairman would not vote for Payn-
ter for senator. On the vote for speak
