DARK HORSE
COrtelyOu the Latest Entry
In the Presidential
Race

WASHINGTON, d. c., July "a
there is something doing down deep
beneath the surface in republican cam
paign politics, and the average man Is
wondering what it is all about. The
surface indication Is the repeated and
apparently systematic attempts to
Bring George B. Cortelyou into public
notice as a likely candidate for next
years nomination.
Well-posted politicians declare that
Cortelyou, at the present time, can
hardly be reckoned among the posi-
bilities for 1908, though he might me q
formidable candidate four years later.
The suspicion is aroused that the men
who are talking Cortelyou really have
in mind some other man, but 1t Is
hard to determine that mans identity.
II New York should instruct for Cor
telyou, and the treasury chief should
be able to swing the delegation to some
other man after the initial ballot, it
would make him a mighty powerful
figure In the convention: indeed, he
would come pretty near to debating
the nomination. Is the Cortelyou boom,
therefore. part Of some deep-laid plan
in the interests either of some one Of
the candidates now in the field or some
man not yet mentioned In connection
with the nomination? The question is
one that is troubling politicians. and
they would give good deal II they
could answer 1t.
Cortelyou, the administrators Sc
lent man. says nothing: and his mas
terful art of keeping still furnishes OPP
portunity for all sorts Of speculation.

COAL EXPORT

BELLINGHAM.- July ga special
TO the Herald from Yam couver, B. c.,
says:
According to British naval officers
who arrived from the Orient on the
Empress of China Sunday night en-
route to England from the China sta
ton the Japanese government has
placed positive embargo on the ex-
port Of coal from Japan. Operators
have been instructed to load no coal
for export of coal from Japan. Opera
tors have been instructed to load no
coal for export and steamers are sup
piled with only sufficient to complete
the return voyage to Japan. This is
said to be the reason why the Cana
dian Pacific railroad, which had sew
eral special shiploads of coal ordered
during the Canadian coal strike, re-
ceived but one.
1t is also stated on the best author
ity that the government has been in
quiring for large shipments OF Austria
liam and Welsh coal the latter designed
for coaling stations remote from Japan
and probably in the vicinity of the
Philippines.
The officers also state positively that
the japanese going through Mexico ana
Hawaii are all service men and veter-
ans OF the late Russian war

THEY DEMAND
FEWER HOURS

CHICAGO, July ga gigantic
movement to establish nine-hour
work day for union machinists employ
ed by railroads throughout the north
west, which is expected to include
blacksmiths and boilermakers, and en-
braces total of 10000 men, has been
launched.
The plan is being backed principally
by the Northwest Consolidated dis
trict of the Machinists' union, although
the blacksmiths and boilermakers, who
also have powerful organizations, are
looked to for active cooperation on
behalf Of their respective crafts. The
Northwest consolidated district en-
braces all railroads north of the Union
Pacific lines. and west of Chicago.
A demand viii be made upon them
to make the nine-hour day effective
September /. For this purpose, Off
Gals OF the Machinists' union are now
preparing formal notices to be served
upon the railroad companies at the
beginning of next month, thus giving
them 30 days in, which to consider the
plan.
Among the railroads to be asked to
establish the nine-hour day are the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific,
Canadian Pacific, Canadian Northern,
500 line. Minneapolis q st. Louis,
Iowa central. Wisconsin Central. Chi
cago & Northwestern, Chicago. St.

CONSOLIDATION

VANCOUVER, Wash, July 24.-AlI
railroad, the Hartman line between
Portland and the Sound, has been dis
continued indefinitely and rumors are
current that the Hill interests are back
of the sudden determination to stop
construction.
The employees of the engineering de-
partment have been laid off indefinite
ly upon a few hours notice and in
formation at the local office is to the
effect that construction work will be
postponed until next year with no di-
rect assurance that it will even then
be continued. The action, in view of
the enormous amount spent for right
of-way and preparations made to build
the road. comes as a surprise even to
the officials
The local Office Of the company Is to
be closed Wednesday and the fixtures
will be maintained.
Division Engineer A. H. Abbott, who
has charge of the work between Van
couver and Chehalis. is now at Seattle
attending a meeting of the various d.
