MILLIONAIRFS PLOT.
Huge Fund Is Said to Have Been
Raised to Defeat the Policies OF
President Roosevelt.

Washington, d. Cit was said
on authority at the White House
Thursday that there is ample evil
dence at hand for the claim of the
president that there is movement
afoot to defeat his policies in the next
congress and in the next national con-
vention. 1t is declared that the
Observation-Disclosures combi-
nation" has already fund of $1,000
600 with which to carry on its cam
paign in opposition to the president
1t was also stated authoritatively at
the White House that part of the plan
to encompass the defeat of the presi-
dents policy is the election of state
delegations to the national convention
from those states known to favor the
president, these delegates TO be in
structed for President Roosevelt, not
withstanding knowledge in advance
that the president would not be can
didate for denomination. Then, ac-
cording to the statement made, these
delegates, upon the president decin-
ing to be a candidate for renomina-
ton, as he had said he would decline,
are to consider themselves free and
are to be switched over to some op-
ponents of the president and the poll
cies for which he is standing

month; that Of baggagemen $3.50, and
that of fiagmen and brakemen $3.50

Is the Verdict of the Lu-
macy Commission.
THAT 1HAW WISSANE
District Attorney Jerome Protests
Against Confirmation of the
Commissions Decision.

New York.-Iiarry X. Thaw on
Thursday was declared sane by the
unanimous report of the commission
in lunacy appointed to inquire into
his present mental condition. The
moment the decision was handed
down from Justice Fitzgerald's desk,
District Attorney Jerome was on his
feet. vigorously protesting against it's
confirmation by the court. He charg-
ed that he had been excluded from the
last session of the commission and
demanded to be allowed to have ac-
cess to the minutes and stenograp phic
notes of what transpired at the final
mental and physical examination of
the defendant.
When Justice Fitzgerald declined
to turn the minutes over to the dis
trict attorney, Mr.. Jerome declared he
would carry the case to the appellate
division of the supreme court, asking
that writ of prohibition or manda-
mus be granted to prevent a continu-
ance of the Thaw trial until the
higher court had ruled upon the legal
ity of the commissions course
Justice Fitzgerald reminded Mr.
Jerome that he had waived the statu-
tory right of attending the last ses-
sion of the commission by suggesting
himself that all the attorneys be ex-
cluded from the sitting in question
He then granted the district attorney
an adjournment until Monday.

IN A BIG BALLOON.
WALTER WELLMAN DISCUSSES
HIS PROPOSED JOURNEY TO

HE INTENDS TO START IN JULY

BEGAN HIS JOURNEY.

New York. Walter Wellman,
who arrived here day on
New York. April 4.-Walter Well

the Kaiser Wilhelm H., expressed him
self as we'll satisfied with all of his
arrangements for the proposed trip

formed the friends who met him at
the pier that he would surely start in
July.
II am informed" said Mr.. Wellman,
that Commander Peary thinks my
plan is not practicable. He thinks it
will not be possible to reach the pole
in balloon by reason of the weather
conditions-shower of icicles and
heavy snowfalls. In answer to his
comment, l want to say that Peary
has no idea at all about ballooning.
my balloon is constructed to meet
all of the arctic conditions and | have
full confidence in my ability to reach
the pole. When l set out from Spitz
bergen in July | shall think of moth.
ing but success for my undertaking
My balloon has resisting power of
500 pounds to the square inch and
that surely will be sufficient to turn
all of the icicles to which Peary re-
fers. The surface is just about as
penetrable as tho ordinary sheet
metal roof
II am not in the least superstitious,
II | were l would not be launching my
balloon on this expedition to the un
known north from the very spot where
Arlree took his departure. never to
return. He was not properly equipped
as to the mechanism of his ship and
l am convinced that he fell into the
Arctic Sea.
81 shall carry with me 1000 pounds
of gasoline to supply gas for the bag
and 5000 pounds of rations. l shall
take with me also ~ Esquimaux dogs
for possible use. If do succeed in
finding the pole, / fully expect to see
nothing more than the center of the
open sea-"

THE ONE GREAT QUESTION.
Whether Tariff Disturbance Will Be
Better Than Tariff Stability.

The tariff is let US all cheerfully
admit, imperfect. 1t is, in spots,
worthy Of immediate revision. So
much is generally believed by all pro
tectionists, we imagine. Then comes
the added question whether, in view
of the gravity of the business, the
time is ripe? Even granting that in
many places there seems to 1e good
ground for immediate changes in Sec
tons of the tarif law that produce
considerable hardship, does it neces-
sarily follow that the net benefit to be
derived from the remedy applied at
once is sufficiently commanding to
overbalance the possibilities of seri-
Gus general harm? Apparently Mr..
Roosevelt thinks that this is far from
established, while Gov. Guild is con.
Vinced that it is. Probably We all re-
alize by this time that every revision
of the tariff must of necessity beget
great disquiet and unrest, not to say
apprehension, all along the line. These
and their effects on the general well.
being are so far-reaching that they ara
not lightly to be entered into, but only
to be endured for season because of
the proved desirability of the ultimate
! outcome. Is that outcome so certainly
beneficial in the net result at this time
| as to warrant us in taking this most
unruly bull Immediately by the horns?
1t is over this that many of us hesi
tate. We are far from believing that
the Dingley schedules are sacred" for
all time. We are far from preaching
any gospel of stand-pattisn radically
| interpreted. The one question is
whether tho evils that we have are
| so intolerable that we should endeavof
to shake them off, even at the risk oi
the stock evils that will always be
set tariff revision? If they are, then
| Gov. Guild is right. But the trouble
is that the president seems not yet
| fully convinced of it, and that great
many other wise leaders of party
councils are not yet convinced of it
| to the extent that Gov. Guild is. Dc
we even know for a fact that the ma
| jority of Massachusetts Republicans
are convinced of it, in view of the cir
cumstances that the most of the tar
| if revision support comes from very
unorthodoX protective sources, such
as the mugwump newspapers and
| mugwump orators Lowell Citizen.

What Londnners Lack.

London is described as one of the
r2yest cities in the world. We have
practically everything that makes for
gayety, and yet it cannot be said with
any degree of honesty that we are as
lively as we might be in the circum-
stances. Among a few folk high spir-
its prevail says London Lady's Pic
torial 1t is certainly not fashionable
to be serious, but, speaking generally,
we stand sorely in need OF more live
liness. If one would take the meas
urement of liveliness of the average
person, it is only necessary to stay
few days in any of our winter re-
sorts and make a study of the con-
versation of inmates of the hotel and
clearinghouse. Health will be found
to be the chief topic of conversation
at one, bridge at another, stocks at
another, and the menu at yet another

one hears any remark worth remem.
bering, and no one ever appears to be
thoroughly determined to have a good
time. High spirits are certainly at a
discount; the joy of living does not
appear to be understood. And yet in
good hotels and boarding houses visi-
tors are represented by all classes of
society that count. What shall we do
to be gay?

Neither Necessary Nor Desirable.

Most of the clamor for tariff remov
al which from time to time rises above
the din and roar of the industries of
the busiest people on the globe, comes
either from those who expect to profit
personally or politically by the
changes they urge. This clamor does
not come from the great body of the
farmers or miners, or from the men
of the mills or factories, who have by
far the greatest interest in protec,
tion's results. 1t is assumed by a
certain class of statesmen" that peri.
odical changes of the tariff must be
made, and that a kind of popularity
awaits the leader who will anticipate
the coming of the next change-period
and will shout the longest and strong
est for it's arrival. But in the opin
ion of very large majority of the
American people these periodical
changes are not necessary, and are
far from being esirable.-IIancocf

POWER is WITH FARMERS.
They Are in Position to Demand anc
Compel a Square Deal.

The Rocky Mountain News sounds
note of warning to those who fiattel
themselves that they can retain the
benefits of protection for their own in
dustries while Withholding protection
from the agricultural interests. The
warning is especially addressed to the
Sugar trust which is accused of an in
clination to grab more than it's share
of the profits of beet sugar production
at the expense of the Colorado beet
growers. The News reminds Mr.
Havemeyer that the tariff on refined
sugar is in force by the consent of the
farmers of the United States, and that
the farmers have the power to take off
that tariff. Hence he had better dea.
fairly in the matter of the farmers in
terest in sugar beet prices. The admo
nintion may well apply to others thar
Mr.. Havemeyer. There are people
urging free trade in raw materials
that are the farmers finished prod
ucts; but with no idea of relinquishins
protection for their own finished prod
ucts. They foolishly imagine that they
can keep for themselves the protective
tariff shield against foreign competi
tion and at the same time expose
American farmers to unrestricted com
petition. 1t cannot be done. In the
hold the balance of power. They are
in position to demand and compel g

The Texas Idea.

The Texas cattle growers, as the
American Economist remarks, are
nine-tenths free traders on general
principles. but prOtectionsts where
cattle, hides and wool are involved
So are the Texas rice growers, so far
as rice is concerned. None of them
wants to meet competition with Mex
ican or Argentine cattle or with
Philippine rice. But they wouldn't
mind having the tariff lifted from
articles produced outside the state of
Texas, if that would open foreign
market for their meats. That is the
Texas tariff idea-Washingto Her
