ROOSEYELT'S WORDS
 STIR POLITICIANS
VARIOUS FEELINGS ARE AROUSED IN DIFFERENT FACTIONS-DEM- ocRATs THINK BRYAN IS NOW A SURE WINNER.

The announcement of President Roose- welt, circulated yesterday morning, to the effect that he would remain true to his original statement to the effect that he would not again accept the nomination to the presidency, came in the nature of a blow to the administration faction of the republican party in Alabama, a boon to the anti-administration faction, and morsel of pleasure to the democrats.
 As has been known for some time, an effort has been made to have the delegation from Alabama to the republ- can convention instructed for Roose- welt. J. o. Thompson, who practically controls the republican party in Alabama, in answering a query of a New York paper, affirmed that the delegation would be instructed for the President It has become generally known, too, that As sistant Postmaster General Hitchcock has busied himself with an effort to have the delegations from the southern states instructed for Roosevelt. Now, however, since Roosevelts announcement, it is question as to whether the President really saw the handwriting on the wall" or whether his offceholders had entered into a combination to force him to accept the nomination.
 Mir. Thompson would make no state ment for publication yesterday. The Davidson faction of the party, naturally, were overjoyed at the announcement of the President. However, it could not be learned whether the announcement of the President meant that Alabama's dele gation would be introduced for another or not. It is considered probable by cer- tain members of the administration party in Alabama that the Alabama delegation will still cast its ballot for Mr. Roose welt.
 In the democratic ranks there was much pleasure when MT. Roosevelt's announce ment became known Col. John w. Tom linson, the original Bryan man. pre- dicted democratic victory immediately afterward. Colonel Tomlinson thought that Bryon would win, even with Roose- welt his opponent. Now, however, he thinks the Nebraskan's victory will be all the more certain and signal.

TRIBUNAL TO BE FORMED

The work of the conference in this respect acquires an importance quite apart from that which attaches to the conservation of peace in Central America for the reason that the arrange ment announced today probably will, if it
