MansfieId's Rebuke.

A group of theatrical men were talk
ing in New York about the late Rich
ard Mansfield.
"Mr. Mansfield" said one, was a de-
lightful humoroist, a splendid racon-
teur in society, but at the same time
he had a certain proper and becoming
sense of his own dignity, and 1T never
paid to be unduly familiar with him.
He was, as we all know, rather
bald. He resented, from BARRIERS, or
friends, any allusion to his badness.
"Wel, one night at a party, man
came up behind this great artist, stag
gered him with violent slap on the
pack, and exclaimed in loud, jovial,
familiar voice:
"'Hello, Dick. How are you? Every
time | see you, you get balder and
balder'
Mansfield drew himself up. He
sneered at the other.
"'Hello,' he said. I don't know VINO
| YOU are, but every time | see you yo'
get ruder and ruder.

81 do not look for any prolonged
trouble in the business world. Condl-
tions which made panic and depres-
sion in 1898 are entirely different

of a restricted money supply. NOW

gold production which gives an abund-

AND WEST INDIES.
Steps Taken to Secure Preferential
Trade Relations.

st. John, N. B., April 4.-Steps TO-
wards diverting much of the West
Indian trade from the United States TO
Canada have been taken by the st.
John board Of trade, which has ap-
pointed a committee to interview Sir
Wilfrid Laurier when he reaches this
city Friday on his way to England.
Sir Wilfrid will be asked to bring up
the matter of a preference in trade
between Canada and the West Indies
before the colonial office in London.
this step following a report from II.
B.. Schofield, one Of the recent Cana
dian board of trade delegates to the
West Indies. Much of the West Indies
trade is now with the United States,
but 1t Is stated that the Leeward ISL
ands have decided to grant Canada a
preference in tariff. A resolution was
also passed by the board favoring
preference on a reciprocal basis
throughout the empire.

GRAFT ON CANAL ZONE.
Congressman Rainey Criticises Com
missary Department.

New York, April AFTER spending
eight days in the canal zone Congress-
man III. t. Rainey of Illinois has re-
turned pleased and enthusiastic over
the work on the isthmus, but indignant
with the management of the commits
sary department.
A careful investigation Of the com
missariat would, Mr.. Rainey believes,
bring to light a scandal second only
to the meat scandal of the Spanish
American war" The head of the de-
partment, he said. was overworked
and details left to subordinates were
carelessly handled.
Mr.. Rainey said that he would prove
that the lunch served to the congress
sional party, which was supposed 70
consist Of the same menu served daily
to canal workers at a cost of 80 cents
a man, was in reality ordered five
days In advance and cost S1,65 a plate.
Shoes that could be bought In the
United States for SO a pair were sold
by the commissariat, the congressman
declared, at So a pair. Continuing,
the congressman said:
THE day President Roosevelt Wis
tied the isthmus he vas served with a
'30-cent' meal. found out that 1t was
generally understood that the pres
ident would eat at one Of the dining
halls so all were ready for him and

HEADS BOARD OF DIRECTORS
J. J. Hill VIII Still Direct Policy Of
Great Northern.

st. Paul, April 4.-Regarding the
resignation of James j. Hill as pres
tdent of the Great Northern railroad
and his election as chairman of the
board Of directors it is stated that 1t
in no sense meant the retirement OF
Mr.. Hill from the direction of Great
Northern affairs. Mr.. Hills duties as
chairman will be practically Identical
with the duties he has been perform
ing in recent years. These have had
to do with the general direction OF the
roads policies and finances rather
thar directly with the operation of the
property.
It has been understood for some
time that whenever Mr.. Hill retired
he would be succeeded by his son,
Louis w. Hill. The latter is a Yale
graduate, who on leaving college en-
tered the operating department of the
road and has since perfected himself
In the school of railroading. He has
been for some years vice president
of the Great Northern aSd is consid-
cred a very capable railroad man.
Gradually, it is expected, he Will
take upon himself more and more OF
the responsibility of the management,
though it will doubtless be long before
James J. Hills position as chairman
Of the board becomes a nominal office.

MAYOR dunno is DEFEATED
Chicago Voters Turn Down Mu-
nicipaI Ownership.

Chicago, April 4.-The revised un-
official returns of Tuesdays election
show that Busse, the Republican can
didate for mayor, has been elected by
a plurality of 1906 over Dunno. The
entire Republican city ticket was
elected with the exception of Edward
c. Young, the candidate for city treas.
urer. who was beaten by John e. Urea
ger, Democrat, by 1888. The city
council will be Democratic by the
same number as the old council, thir-
ty-six Democrats to thirty-four Repub-
licans.
The traction ordinances recently
passed by the city council over the
veto of Mayor Dunno and which pro-
vide for the immediate rehabilitation
of the street car systems were carried
by a vote of 165, 646 to 1872, 100. These
ordinances were favored by the Re-
publicans and they declared in their
platform that the best interests of the
city demanded their adoption. The
Democracy insisted upon municipal

ton of the street car properties. The
fear that the condemnation operation
might entail many years of litigation.
during which time the city would be
compelled to put up with its present
miserable transportation facilities,
was a strong factor in bringing out a
heavy vote in favor of the ordinances.
AS the matter now stands the street
car companies are compelled to pay
to the city 55 per cent of their net
income, allowing the city at all times
access to their books. They are to
provide continuous passage from n
section of the city to another for a
fare of 5 cents and TO grant universal
transfers. The city is to allow them
a franchise for twenty years with the
option of purchasing the systems for
$4,000 900 at ny time by giving no.
tice six months in advance OF the date
at V hich it proposes to take over the
properties.

Real Reason for Harriman's In

HOPED TO SUCCEED DEPEW
Additional Statement From the White
House Regarding the Controversy
Between the President and the RaIl'

Washington, April At is authori-
tatively declared at the White House
that the real reason for Mr.. K. Fl.
Harriman's interest in the election OF
the state ticket in New York in 1904,
reference to which was made in the
communications which passed be-
tween him and the president, was that
he desired to advance his W ambi-
lions. II is asserted that Mr.. Harri-
man wanted the position of senator
now filed by Mr.. Depew and that this
was the reason why he was anxious
to have him appointed ambassador to
Paris. The differences from Mr.. Har-
riman's attitude, according to the
statement made at the White House,
were that If Senator Depew could be
induced to go to Paris that Governor
Higgins was prepared to appoint Har-
riman to the vacancy.

HARTMAN STANDS PAT.
Will Not Withdraw Statements Made
in Recent Letter.

New York, April 4.-The publication
of the letter from E. II. Hartman to
Sidney Webster and the correspond
ence between President Roosevelt N
Representative Sherman and h pres
ident and Mr.. Hartman was given
the widest discussion in financial n
political circles. The statement given
out by Mr.. Hartman in reply to the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT correspondence
was eagerly read, especially in Wall
street, where Mr.. Harriman's position
as a leader in the railroad world has
given him such prominence. Mr..
Hartman himself was 10 at his office
as early as usual. 1t was said that he
was In consultation with several of
his friends as to the present aspects
of the situation, presumably with a
view to defining his future attitude
and course of procedure should the
president make a rejoinder to his lat
est statement.
Not the least interesting portion of
Mr.. Harriman's presentation of his
side of the controversy was his state
ment that he could not withdraw any
thing said in the letter to Sidney Web
ster, In which he declared that it vas
Mt the presidents solicitation that he
raised 5000, 600 for use in New York
state In the campaign of 1904 and that
the president agreed, eff found neces-
sary," to appoint Senator Depew TO

was declared In banking circles that

mittee we're thrown open.

REFUSE TO DISCUSS 1T.
Politicians Will Not Comment on
Roosevelt Hartman Affair.

Observation-Disclosures Affair.
New York, April Awhile the con-
troversy which has arisen between
President Roosevelt and e. H. Harri-
man, following the publication of a
letter written by E. H. Hartman to
Sidney Webster regarding the collec-
ton of a campaign fund by Mr.. Harri-
man during the presidential campaign
in 1904, is attracting widespread atten-
ton politicians and others who were
closely connected with the campaign
do not show a disposition at this time
to discuss the subject.
Senator Chauncey M. Depew was
the only one who would add anything
to the letters and statements made by
the president and Mr.. Hartman. He
ia quoted as saying:
my knowledge Of the $200,0 900 cam
paign fund was all gained after the
occurrence to which Mr.. Hartman re-
fers. | knew nothing about it at the
time and it would be improper for me
to mention any names in any way. |
may say, however, that the money did
not come from corporations, nor from
individuals whose corporation affilia-
tions were such that they had any
thing to expect from the administra-
tion in return. They were men Of
wealth, who necessarily had certain
corporation connections, but these did
not move them In contributing the
money"
Cornelius N. Bliss was asked If he
had anything to say about the situa-
tion developed by the exchange Of
statements between Mr.. Hartman
and President Roosevelt.
"You can't galvanize ancient his
tory-or ancient felton," said Mr..
Bliss. 81 have kept still for two years
and do not see any profit in saying
anything now. What has passed is Of
the past and that's an end to it."
