atty, headed by King Edward and the
Prince and Princess of Wales, was pres

glorious sunshine.
The crowd was perhaps smaller than in
previous years, but it had all its we'll

IMPORTANT SESSION.
Senator Burrows Thinks Issue Great
est in Country's History.

DETROIT. November Ex-senator ]. c.
Burrows yesterday said
Il believe the coming session of Con-
gress will be the most important In the
entire history of the country. The uues-
tions of the currency, the merchant ma
rine, the navy, the Philippines, issues
growing out of the Monroe doctrine, the
railway problem, which is yet unsettled,
are all of enormous Importance in their
bearing upon the country and its welfare,
and even more difficult to solve than the
problems of the civil war"
Senator Burrows believes that the senti-
ment throughout the country is over
whelming in favor of Theodore Roosevelt
and that were he nominated today he
would be elected
Il think said the senator that the
state convention ought to indorse the ad-
ministration and stand by Roosevelt but
Michigan should send an uninstructed del
egation Of able men to the national con-
vention.
LAS to the tariff, l don't believe any SEN
timent has crystallized. OF course it is
universally recognized that here and there
certain duties in the schedule should be
changed, but the great trouble is that If
you touch one 1t means of necessity the
revision of the whole tariff schedule, and
it seems to me that it were better to suffer
our present ills than to fly to those that
we know not of. When you begin to work
upon the tariff industries slow down and
business becomes unsettled"
