STANDPATTERS REMAIN
 TRUE TO THEIR NAME

mont, reflects the views of the stand patters' in Congress. They will desper- ately oppose all revision talk and man for man they stubbornly insist that the late elections wrote no warning upon the wall. But if the worst comes to- the worst, they will demand an extra session.
 It is known that the present adminis- tration in the House is very fearful of not being able to "organize' the next House in event of special session on the present satisfactory stand-pat basis The Cannons, Paynes and Dalzells realize that tEey are facing a difficult situation in the reduction of their big majority and the consequent infusion of new and radical blood in the House membership.
 The tariff revisionists form militant faction in the House, and their number will be materially reinforced in the Six tieth Congress They doggedly deter mined to have a readjustment of the Dingley schedules, "even if we have to ride down our organization as one of them put it.
 The stand-patters will try at the com ing session of Congress to divert attention from the tariff as much as possible, and to that end will join with a glad cry in the talk over the Presidents new schemes of wealth and corporation tax They see a new toy with which to inter- est the public and will keep the ball a. rolling when the President kicks off.

SENATOR BURROWS DOES NOT SEE IN RESULT OF THE REGENT ELECTION ANY DEMAND FOR TARIFF REVISION.

Washington, November 14-(Special )-"I do not construe the result of the elections as verdict in favor of tariff revision,' D said Senator Burrows of Michigan, who came to town today. 'I do not believe the country is clamoring for revision.
 However, if it must come. it ought to come at special session of Congress and not be postponed until the eve of the pres idential election"
 Senator Burrows has a vivid recollec- tion of the danger of tackling the tariff question just before presidential elec- tion. He was second in rank on the ways and means committee of the House when the Mckinley tariff bill was passed within a month of election, and the democratic landslide swept the republicans out of power root and branch, and put Grover Cleveland in the White House for the second term.

PARSONS REPLIES TO ODELL'S CRITICISM BY SAYING THAT CAMPAIGN SHOWED EXCELLENT RESULTS FOR THE TIME.

New York, November H.-Robert Par sons, president of the New York county republican committee, replied today to a part of the criticisms of former Gov ernor Odell, regarding the management of the late campaign in this state.
 Considering that State Chairman Woodruff had only five weeks in which to conduct the state campaign said Mir Parsons. q believe that he has shown excellent results. As to Governor Odelfs criticism of President Roosevelt for his attitude in the campagin l can only say that in view of the fact that Mir. Hearst and his campaign speakers declared that the views of the President and MT. Hearst were practically parallel all authorita- tive statement of the Presidents actual position was entirely pertinent The Pres ident chose the only course that was open to him to state his position, as he had a perfect right to do both as President and as a citizen of the state"

Paris November 14.-Prnce Amedes de Broglie, father of Prince Robert de Brog- lie, has filed in the Paris court a demand for the annullment of his sons marriage with Miss Estelle Alexander of California.
 Miss Alexander was married to Prince Robert de Broglie August II in Chicago, and it was claimed at the time that &C., cording to the law of France the marriage was not valid because the princess dl- vorce from former wife had not been approved, and because his second mar riage had not been recorded according to the French laws.
 Prince Robert, on the other hand claimed that his marriage was legal un- der the laws of Illinois, and in Paris re- gently showed a letter from the French vice consul in Chicago, stating that the marriage had been recorded with his gov ernment, and was legal under the French law. The prince added that he had in- structed his lawyer in Paris to bring suit against his family to compel them to rec ognize the marriage. and also to recover interests to which he was entitled.

Friendly Toward United States.

Our relations with the United States continue on a most friendly basis. rest ing as they do on historical and natural relations The frontiers of two countries do not touch nor do our political inter- ests collide anywhere. In order to smooth our economic relations it will be neces- sary to arrange mutually beneficial agreement in an obliging spirit. and as both sides have this spirit. 1t seems i'm possible that we should not come to an understanding.
 T wish to take advantage of the op- portunity to say" the chancellor con tinued, that we are greateful for the attitude of the United States at the All geciras conference. The United States had only slight measure of interest at Algeciras. and took a reserved attitude but throughout it was impartial. The United States excellent representative Mir. White. esteemed by all of us. took advantage of every opportunity to har- monize antagonisms and to contribute to any agreement honorable for all the states concerned. That is to be highely appreciated, because the failure of the conference not only would have brought into the relations between Germany and France a disauieting. irritating element, but would also have introduced it into the general situation in the world. That was the second great service the United States has contributed to the peace of the world. The first was assisting in the restoration of peace between Russia and Japan.
