Special Correspondence President
Roosevelt will find upon bis return
here from his bear hunt. that a revolt
against his politioes will need his at

publican leaders OF control Of the
party organization. The presidency
and congress Is at stake. Legislation

the preliminary skirmish. The re-
moval of the headquarters Of the re-
publican congressional committee,
from New York to Washington a. the
first open step taken to notify PTesi
dent Roosevelt that his anticipated
effort TO dominate congress at the
coming session as he did at the last
session will not be tolerated BY the
leaders. An evidently inspired arti-
Gle In the Washington Post outlines
the plans OF the reactionary republic

tum to the President and their threats
to those republican congressman who
are inclined to take tips from the
White House instead Of from the
speaker. Briefly stated the main
points set forth are;

This announced policy Of the repub

Portland, Ore, Oct. 23.--J. L.
Hartman, manager Of the Portland
Clearing House association, made the
following statement to the Associat
ed Press regarding banking condi-
tions in Portland:
The financial situation in Portland
is remarkably good. The banks of
Portland have more money on hand
than at any time In their history.
There is scarcely bank in this terri
tory that ia not prepared for any
emergency. Very few big loans are
being made except to wheat and wool
buyers. The banks of Portland are
careful and Conservative, and operate
on an individal basis. Portland is
out of debt and is loaner and not
a borrower. The wisdom of Port.
lands ultra conservatism could not
be better demonstrated thai at this
time.

There is only one depressing ele-
ment in the local financial station as
it exits today. That is the tendency
iowa I'd reaction as a result of too
much speculation is realty during the
past IL months. Otherwise bust
ness is just as brisk as it has been
for the past Eve years.
"Bank deposits have increased
since January from $50, % 00,00 to
$72, 100000. There is more money
to loan today than ever before. In
fact, there is such an excess that large
sums are being sent east for call
loans.

generally is on the increase. The
same is true with all commerce.
TACOMA BANKS.
Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 23.-Ta-
coma's financial condition has not
been so substantial in years as at the
present time. Heads of the banking
institutions are unanimous in the
statement that a better situation
could not be asked for. Recent fig
ures show that great increases in tbt
savings department, while general de.
posits are steadily growing. Recent
bank statements reflect unusual so
lidity. Farmers and fruit growers
are getting unheard of prices for theil
products. Agricultural wales all ovel
the state are enjoying unusual pros
perity. Lumber cutting is on profit
abe basis and wages are good.

RUM0R THAT CLOWRY
WILL Be OUSTED

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Robert G.
Clowry, president of the Western
Union Telegraph company, is expect
ed to be ousted at a meeting of the
board of directors of that company
September 10.
This has been rumor around
New York and Chicago for several
days, and now it is being talked
about as a fact, and the rumor be-
comes more persistent every day.
"But why shouldn't he be asked
to resign?" his enemies ask. Glow
ry has cost the Western Union stock
holders more than he has saved
through securing cheap labor and
grinding them down"
From history it seems to have
been the rule that such heads had to
fall when they were unable to con-
duct the affairs of corporation with
out having strikes occur with such
frequency as Clowry has the past
year and half.
Besides these strikes, there is a
continual unrest and disposition to
shirk among the employees and as
telegraphers have become rather
scarce, the wedding out process could
not be resorted to.
Clowry, though he has been men
ace to the public generally and the
employees in particularfi cannot hole
his Job if he becomes an expense ant
a menace to the company.
If Clowry goes, most of the othel
good things" that have been making
life miserable for employees and pa
irons first of whom will be JOhl
Charles Barclay, assistant genera
manager, so called, will also go
Salt Lake Inter-Mountain.

EXPLORERS PROBABLY
LOST IN THE ICE

ATHABASCA LANDING, Canada.
Sept, News of the probable loss
of the schooner Duchess of Bedford.
the ship belonging to the Anglo
American Arctic expedition, which
had hopes to find a new continent
north of the Mackenzie river, was
brought here by Alfred Harrison,
who has been beyond the Arctic cir
Gle for two years and who came here
on the steamer Midnight Sun. Mr..
Harrison says Ernest Steffansson, of
Harvard university. after whom the
expedition has been called, himself
brought the news of the loss of their
boat at Herschiel island. He also
brought the news of the disappear
ance of three members of the party
and expressed the fear that they had
met death in the frozen north.
The missing men are Capt. Mix
keson, Dane, Ernest Leffingwell, of
Chicago, and j. Marks. They left
the ship in February with sixty days
provisions for the supposed land to
the north and had been gone seventy
days and no news had been received
from them.
One of their teams of dogs had
returned and it is feared the party
will never be heard from again. The
schooner Duchess of Bedford. Stef-
fansson thought, has probably sunk.
The ship had filled with water, prob
ably from the ice strain, but they
had been able to remove everything
of value to the main shore.
