AT THE HOTELS.

tIlct attorney or Indianapolis, was n
Washington yesterday He said he was
simply taking little trip for a vacation,
but as ne is practically the active man
ager for Vice President Fairbanks Presi-
dental campaign. his friends here doubt
if he is resting much, particularly as they
know the district attorneys procliyities
for things political
In Indiana's capital city he is known
as Big Chief joe" and while he de-
clined last night TO admit that he is stiu
the head Of the Indiana Republican or
ganization, he did say:
Wei, I must admit I an still living
in Indianapolis. Indiana, Of course, is
for Fairbanks for President and he VIII
have a solid delegation behind him IN the
convention from his home State. To me-
his chances seem excellent for securing
the nomination The agitation against
him because Of the cocktail incident az
the dinner given for President Roosevelt
is hardly worth taking seriously. It is
doubtful If the President ever gave a din
neT without serving the necessary liquors,
and thinking people can hardly hold ic
against the Vice President that he served
his luncheon according to the demands
of courtesy and custom"
Although Mr.. Healing is active in poIt-
lcal matters he declared himself not well
Informed as 20 the fight being made in
Indianapolis for 60-cent gas.
THE fight is still progressing merrily."
said Mr.. Healing, and bids fair to be
one of great length before il is finished
I'VE do not have ZOOS in China. and
the one you have here is Of great interest
70 US" said c. S. Tsao one Of the party
Of Cinnamon IN this country TO avail
themselves Of scholarships IN Yale and
Cornell.
What We know about animals OF the
kind you have in the zoo here said Mr.,
Tsao last night. I'VE have learned from
books. OF course, We have familiarized
ourselves in that manner with most OF
the animals you have. but it Is an in
teresting sight to US 10 see the animals
themselves. Il is q great means Of edu-
cation, ! should think. to you Americans
as well. to have beasts from all parts CT
the world where you can view them"
In reply 70 a question as 10 what he
thinks Of the United States. Mr.. TsaO
said: 1T is a great country. Of course.
but our duty lies in China We come
here TO observe and learn. but we must
do cur work in China Ny ability TO
speak English is Of no good TO me IN
China. and I learned il only that I might
come to this country TO educate myself
70 better manage the affairs which come
within my province in my native land.
When ] have completed a course IA edu-
catiOnal work in this country, I shall
return 10 China 10 take Up the work OF
teaching"
7 passed through Washington in May"
said John Lee, Of Greenville. Miss. who
Is at the Shoreham after a trip abroad,
and I must say that the improvements
that have taken place in Washington even
since then are remarkable. For instance.
I could hardly recognize Fourteenth
street where the trees have been re-
moved, and there seems 70 be new build
ings on every corner. Washington IS
rapidly becoming city that America can
well be proud Of. and one that ills well
its position as the capital Of the greatest
nation on earth"
John Albert Tifin Hull, Of Des Moines,
Iowa. representing the Seventh Congress
sionaI district IN that state, is in Wash
ington, and declares himself against the
continuance Of the talk OF self-govern-
ment for the Philippines, and for q re-
vision Of the trade relations between the
United States and the new possessions in
the far East. .
I'VE have those islands, said Mr.. Hull.
who is chairman Of the House Committee
on Military Affairs. and it IS all foolish
ness TO talk about selling them OF giving
them government. AS for trade re-
latlons. It seems patent there should be
some change that would give capital as
surance Of stability and the natives a
chance to develop their country.
I was interested in lumber project in
the Islands, and I lost money for the rea-
son that there was practically no market
at our command. When Spain owned
those islands they did have one market,
but now they have none. I think Sec
rotary Taft, on his present trip, viii learn
more Of the sentiment Of the people there,
and foresee there viii be some changes
IN the laws affecting the Islands. They
must have a stable government, and they
must have a market, and when they have
those things capital viii go there and
the lands viii be rapidly developed
Senator James A. Hemenway. Of Boon
vile, Ind, was az the New Willard last
ght en- route TO Indiana. where he viii
remain until November, before returning
10 Washington for the session OF Con-
gress. He has been at Lake Champlain
with Representative Joseph c, Sibley, Of
Pennsylvania, and Representative Can
non
Il stopped off at Atlantic City on my
way to Washington. said Mr.. Hemenway.
and from the number Of people there en-
joying themselves, I Go not imagine the
prosperity Of the country has suffered
any this summer.
''I had rather expected Speaker Cannon
would be in Washington. as he had half
expected to stop here en- route TO Dan
Vile. but I guess he went straight home
from Lake Champlain. As for Indiana
politics, I know no more than I did a
few days since when I was In Washing
ton, as I have not been in Indiana for
more than a month"
Senator Hemenway viii return 70 Indi-
ana to-day.
James Baxter. a railroad man from Bel
fast. ireland. is at the Raleigh. stopping
in Washington on a trip through the
United States. During his stay he viii
visit the jamestown fair.
Our railroads are nothing Ike the ones
you have in this country" said Mr.. Bax-
ter. I'VE have no such things as Pullman
cars and your service is much better
than ours in many respects.
Until 1 have seen more Of Il, however.
do not feel competent to make a com
