DARE NOT REVOLT
Little Danger OF Break Between
Congress and President.
HEAR VOICE OF THE NATION
Many Senator's Soon To Be Elected
and Opposition to Roosevelt
Means Political Death.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Two-thirds OF
the United States senate will come UP
for reelection within the next three
years, and of this total 81 are Republi-
cans. This fact is likely TO have con-
siderable influence upon the ultimate
stand taken this winter by the senate
on measures advocated by the president
and endorsed by the people. 1t does
not necessarily mean that the senate
will fall in line and follow the lead of
the president, but it points to such &C.
tion, and the wise observers, after
studying the situation, think they can
see the senate supporting the president
on the large issues now up for consid-
Grafton.
During the first weeks of the session
it looked very much as if the senate
would take issue with the president
on many important questions of legis-
lation. There were unpleasant words
regarding the Panama canal; there
were murmurings about the presi-
dents course regarding Santo Dom n :
go; and behind it all considerable
private comment upon the presidents
railroad rate policy as outlined in lis
message. Many senators have reached
the conclusion that the president lie
recklessly usurping the powers of con-
gress to some extent, and they have dis
played evidence of ugliness on that ac-
count. For time it looked as if there
would be revolt.
But will there be? Rather, will not
the senate fall in line and follow the
lead of the president? 1t is a serious
thing for the party in power to break
with its president, and such a move is
more apt to injure those senators and
representatives of the insurgent class
than it is to injure the president.
What is more, the party in power must
suffer from any such revolt. 1hese
things are haina carefully weiehed Aand
there are those who now predict ny
there will be no break between con- IS
and the president, unless it may b. y
the railroad rate issue, and even III
that issue compromise is more likely
than an open rupture.

KILLED BY BOMB.
Elk. Governor Steunenberg, of Idaho,
Victim of DastardIy Outrage.

Boise, Jan. g. Frank Steunenberg,
ex- governor of the state, was killed
Saturday evening at his home in the
suburbs of Caldwell. A dynamite bomb
had been placed at his front gate with
some continuance by which it exploded
as he entered. Both legs were blown
off and he lived but 20 minutes.
There is no known reason for the
outrage, but it is charged to some
member of the famous inner circle of
the Occur d'Alene dynamiters, whom
he prosecuted SO relentlessly in 1899,
while he was governor. Governor
Gooding is in communication with the
authorities of that county and is pre-
pared to put the full support of the
state behind the officials there in run
ming down the perpetrators of the
crime.
1t is thought probable that the lead
ing detective agency of the country
will be asked to send some of their
best men to the scene and the state
will offer as great reward as the gov
ernor may find he has power to pro-
pose.
Steunenberg was governor of the
state frvom 1897 to 1901, having been
twice elected. He was born in Iowa
"A years ago and had been in Idaho
since 1887. He left wife and three
children.

Stevens Will Advise Canal Commits

Washington, Jan. 2.-The Isthmian
Canal commission held short session
today. Chief Engineer Stevens, who

views to the commission on the type
of canal that should be constructed,
was requested to submit any project
which he may have for the excavation,
removal and final disposition of the
'excavated material to be taken out of

of IS feet above low tide, and also to
inform the commission whether or not

The commission authorized the

of material left on the isthmus by the
old French company, which must ne
cessarily be removed.
The experiment proposed for securing
labor from the north of Spain was APP

Togo Had Lost.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-The remark
able allegation that the British feet
was held in readiness to destroy the
Russian feet, if the battle of the Sea of
japan had gone in the Russians favor,
is made by Admiral Rojestvensky in q
letter published in the Novoe Vremya
today with the permission of the min
lister of marine.
Referring to the absolute secrecy of
Admiral Togo in regard to the DISPOSE
ton of his forces, Rojestvensky de-
clares that "this was unknown even to
the admiral of the British feet allied
with the Japanese, who concentrated
his forces at Wei Hal Wei, in expecta
tion of receiving an order to annihilate
the Russian feet, if this, the final OBJ
ject of Great Britain, was beyond the
power OF the Japanese"
From Admiral Rojestvensky's &C.
count of his tactics in the battle of the
Sea OF Japan, the reader is almost
convinced that the Russian commander
outmaneuvered Admiral Togo at every
point, and was himself the real victor.
He delaress he knew Admiral Togo's
exact whereabouts two days before the
battle. made his disposition according
ly and entered the fight with his eyes
open.

involving the right to use seepage water
