me and not ask me 10 answer questions
the answers 10 which are self-evident
Everybody knows that the contest for the
Seaatorship in 1904 was between Messrs.
Depew and Black, and there could not
possibly have been any other candidate.
There was no bargain whereby money
was to be raised ia consideration of hav-
ing DeDew appointed as Ambassador to
France or made United States Senator,
and my letter to Mr. Webster does not so
state That part Of the agreement was
for the purpose Of harm0nizing the Black
and Depew forces if it became necessary.
Il particularly want it understood, said
Mr.. Hartman, that there was no barter
regarding the appointment of Senator De
pew as Ambassador to France. excepting
so far as Il would tend TO harmonic the
Black and Depew forces in this State"

COLUMBIA LODGE CELEBRATES.
Navy Machimists' Organization
Passes Sixteenth Milestone.

fourths OF the entire membership being
present. The hail was not only literally
packed to the doors, but beyond. The
aisles and lobby were entirely indistin-
guishable, and every foot OF space in
the gallery. even to the steps, railing, and
window sills, and the cloak room, was
utilized.
Despite the excellent talent Of the enter
tanners and the dance. the extraordinary
concourse Of beautiful women was the
distinctive feature of the occasion. This
may account for the fact that a lone
policeman. who with great effort wormed
his way to the second-hoOr lobby, made
no mention of fire regulations.
The inimitable George O'Connor. well
known TO all Neutrality-suspicious.. gave sew

can birds to a dog fight, the participants
being two small fox terriers.

The collection of Mr.. Evans, who has
long been known as one of the most ex-
tensive private collectors in this cOun-
try, is remarkable for the impression Of
refinement and taste it conveys. The
most careful selection is manifest, it
evidently having been the desire OF the

President Sees Fight Ahead.
That the President believes he will have

humOr for the nomination Of d man Of
his Jwn kind. is the natural inference
from his course in the last few days
There are political observers in wash

disclosures about combination To defeat

wonder also if the President is as greatly

sire Of Mr.. Roosevelt to get TO the coun-

Of a growing belief that he viii be nomi-

an extraordinary character as are now
unforeseen. and. in fact, are not likely TO
occur.
There are some, however, who express
the opinion that from now on the Presi-
dent viii do nothing TO prevent the eiec-
ton OF Roosevelt third-term delegates to
the Republican national convention; not
with any idea OF permitting these dele
gates TO vote for him, but with the object
Of possessing sufficient personal strength
in the convention 20 hold the power Of de-
claring who shall be the party's choice.
1t is cOntended that delegates pledged
70 vote for him would naturally be amen
able 10 his influence. and If he asked
them TO vote Tor a man of his choice his
wishes would be generally respected.
This. according TO one view. is at the
bottom Of the Presidents evident desire
to make himself and his policies the issue
in the next Republican convention and
the campaign preceding the election OF
delegates to it.

Mr.. Palmer said
THE policy of the Southern Pacific can
be better explained by the instructions
which were given by our present general
manager over year ago. 20 the end that
no dispatcher, or employee of any descrip-
ton. could expect promotion 10 an official
position so long as he retained his cOnnec-
ton with a labor organization, and that
so far as that is concerned the man
would not - allowed to resign in order
to get that promotion at that time; he
must show his willingness TO take the
side of the company as against an organ
ization, or to be absolutely independent.
It is not taking sides so much as it is the
independence of the men,"
