Remarkable.

Washington, Nov. z. President

statement regarding elections held
Tuesday last:
"The president regards the result
of the elections as extremely gratify
ing. He has sent a letter of hearty
congratulation TO Mr.. Heney at San

years ago in the middle of President
McKinley's administration. He had
carried New Jersey by $4,000 and
afterwards the republicans for cover.
nor had $4,000, the vote being cut
down just as happened in the Judge
Forth, case. As compared with the
elections next preceding the last
presidential election we have done de.
cidely better than we did in 1908.
Then, as now, Rhode Island and Mary
land went against us, but this year we
have won a sweeping victory in Ken.
tucl1y for the first time since McKin.
leyis first election; and the victory in
Massachusetts, was also remarkable
'"The showing in Pennsylvania is
equally good. The showing in New
York state, as whole, was excellent,
far better ethan was the case prior to
the last presidential election. That
the result; in Manhattan Was due to
purely local causes is shown by com
pairing it with the decisive triumphs
in Brooklyn, Buffalo, Albany and in
the state generally. The presidents

showing than it ever has in an off

been an Improvement over what 1t
was four and eight years ago.

Former President Of Cuban Republic
Says United States Saved Cuba
From Anarchy, Plumber and Ruin
Defends His Actions.

Havana, Nov. Estrada Palma
formerly president of Cuba, has au-
thorized the publication Of his views
regarding American intervention. He
declares publicly in favor of American
control in Cuba.
1T is enough to satisfy my consci-
ence" he said, this conviction of
having saved my beloved country from
anarchy and its natural results O.

He continued, describing what he
considers the criminal acts on the part
Of the revolutionists and the neces-
sity of calling on the Americans to
protect Cuba from a protracted war.
IF ! did right or wrong, time will
say. That my attitude was immedi-
ately justified is proven by the sud
den re-establishment of peace through
the moral and material influence of
the Americans.
II do not hesitate to declare that
it is a thousand times better for our
Cuba to be an independent political ma
tion where liberty is prevailing than a
republic independent of sovereign
but discredited and ruined by blast
ing periodical civil strifes."
The letter is considered important
as Mr.. Palma still commands a great
influence among a large number OF

port Shows Total Casualties Of ST..

shows the total casualties 1926 or
5000 persons killed and 1926 injur-
ed. This shows an increase of TO-
352 casualties, or us In the killed and
9.777 injured as compared with the
previous year.
The bulletin says:
There have been heavy increases in
all of the items, except accidents in
car coupling and from striking against
overhead obstructions. The number
Of passengers killed and injured in
collisions and derailments has increas-
ed to an alarming degree. In this
item the very large total reported In
1905 is now exceeded by IL per cent.
The comparative smallness Of the in
crease In casualties due to coupling
and uncoupling cars and in accidents
to men on the tops Of the freight cars
is undoubtedly due in a large measure
to improvements in the manner and
car Of automatic couplers and to the
increased use of air brakes on freight
trains. The disastrous record Of cas-
ualties to passengers in train acct
dents (41O killed. is due in large mea-

SIBERIA AND EUROPE. W
VICTORY Pl-EASES HIM
War Secretary Thinks That Election
Results Are Not Indicative OF Atti-
tude Of People on National Issues
No More Speeches.

Manila, Nov. 7-Secretary Taft
has definitely decided to return home
by way of Vladivostok through Siberia
and Europe. He has received through
the American consul at Vladivostok,
the assurance of the Russian governor
that the recent disturbances there
will have no effect on his plans. The
secretary will sail from here at noon
on Sunday on the flagship Rainbow as
the guest of Rear Admiral Hemphill,
and will reach Vladivostok in time to
take a train on the Siberian railroad
on November 19.
The cruisers Chattanooga and Den
yer will accompany the Rainbow as
an escort.
Secretary Taft is much pleased that
he is able to carry out his original
plan of travel. He expressed great
satisfaction with the results of cleo
tions in the United States, though he
does not believe they are indicative of
the attitude of the people on national
issues. He is gratified with the repub-
lican victory in Kentucky, although he
expected it and was pleased with the
result of the contest for the mayor
atty in Cincinnati.
With the exception of a formal fare
well reception on Friday night, the
preparations for departure of the
secretary have been completed. He
will make no more speeches here. At
noon today he attended reception
rendered by the assembly in his honor
but has declined to accept any en-
gagements for tonight and has decid-
ed to devote the time before his de-
parture to rest.

the court of the General Paper com
pany, various meetings of eastern and
western manufacturers have been held
to stimulate prices and to limit the
contract period. a conference OF
eastern manufacturers was held i'm
New York during the first week of
September last, when the advance IN
price was decided upon. Since that
time manufacturers, who had pre-,
yiously solicited the business Of various
newspapers, had withdrawn all quot
ations. Publishers who apply for quot
tations realize that IN some way their
supply has been predetermined and
the price they are 10 pay also arrang-
ed for them. In each case, the state
ment stated. the publisher received
bids, but the paper was held at a
prohibitory price He also finds that
he has no remedy against the supply
Of inferior paper. Publishers who
make inquiry Of one mill find that the
others have been advised Of that in
quiry. New selling agencies repre-
senting an aggregation Of previously
independent mills have merged the
output Of those naals.
Supply soufee Diverted.
The source of supply OF numerous
newspapers has been arbitrarily div
erted from one NTH to another with
out the consent OF idhe publisher. Job
5bers who apply to 6elling agents or to
mills for quotations. are forced to dis
close the name oGathe costumer and
the purpose for witch the paper is to
be used. When This disclosure is
made jobbers find that satisfactory
quotations can be obtained from but
one mill in the coisatfy. Mill men and
paper statesmen have admitted that
an agreed scale had been adopted
It was representa- that Canadian
mills can and do the Sc per ton
duty and still find profitable to sell
in the United stases At the same
time the American mills are selling
aboard in competition with Canada,
Great Britain, Germany and Norway.
It was stated to the president that pa
per makers operating fairly equipped
mills have made large profits during
the past 10. years At prices averging
less than 40 per cent and that a sell
ing price Of between s55 and $50 per
ton will mean daily average of $40,-
900.
The lack Of progressive methods of
manufacture by the Internationa Pa
per- company, which furnished the
bulk Of the paper aid fixes the price
in the eastern market, was pointed
out. The export of 10000 tons of
print paper during the past season
and claim of the manufactures that
the domestic stock is principally ex-
hausted, coupled with the shutting
down of the mil1s on various pretexls
leads the publisher to the belief than
an attempt is being made to create a
paper famine. g..
