RESIGNS AS CHAIRMAN OF REPUB-
 LICAN COMMITTEE.
Secretary of Treasury ReIinqufshea His Political Duties on Account of
 Business Stress-New is
 Acting Chairman.

Washington, Jan. 7.-George B. Cor telyou today announced his lretire- ment as chairman of the Republican National Committee. Hon. Harry s. New, Vice Chairman. will become act ing chairman of the committee. For many months it has been under stood by those in touch with Postmas- ter-General Cortelyou that he pro- posed to retire at convenient time from the chairmanship of the National
 Committee. It has long been known
 that Harry S. New of Indianapolis
 would be the acting chairman of the committee when MT. Cortelyou relin-
 quished the chairmanship.
 !, Several matters of political import ance were pending and Chairman Cor telyou decided to withhold his resigna-, tion until these could be disposed of
 These questions now have been cleared up.
 There will be no called meeting of the National Committee to elect MT. Cortelyou's successor, MT. New will serve as acting chairman until the reg ular meeting of the Committee next December, when new National Chair man will be chosen. Heretofore the Committee has always met in wash- ington in December previous to the meeting of the National Convention, but acting Chairman New may desiS- nate Indianapolis, his home city as the meeting place of the committee next December. At this meeting the time and place of holding the next Ma tional Conyention will be decided upon
 Commenting on the designation by Postmaster General Cortelyou of Mr. New as successor of the Chairman of the National Committee, Senator Scott today again expressed the opinion that the Committee should have teen called together and be given an opportunity to select it's own Chairman. He added that he would join in a movement look ing to that end. and said he thought 1t probable that such meeting would DC inaugurated before a great while Mr. Scott said he was not candidate for the chairmanship.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
Texas League Was Not Advanced to
 Class B.


 New York, Jan. With twenty-sev. en cases on it's dockets for considera. ton, the Board of Arbitration of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues met here today for a session which is expected to continue throughout the greater part of the week.
 One of the most important matters to be considered by the board is that of the division of territory between the Tri-State and Atlantic Leagues. The Tri-State League has heretofore been classed as an outlaw" but it is ex- pected that it will be taken into the National Association.
 An application of the Texas League for advancement from Glass to Glass B was denied. Class circuits have from 100000 to 100000 aggregate popu- lations in the cities comprising the League and Class B leagues embraca cities ranging from 100000 to 10000 in aggregate population.
 The Board, however, permitted the union of the Texas and Southern Texas leagues, which was the cause of the application for re-classification. In the new league there are to be Austin, Dallas. Fort Worth, Galveston. San Ans tonic, Houston and Cleburne Tht League is to have call upon the cities of Temple, Lake Charles and Beaumont. At this point the Board adjourned until evening"

STORY OF HER0ISM
CITY OF PANAMA HAD THRILLING
 EXPERIENCE.
Members of Crew Were Washed Over board by Terrible Seas and We're Only Saved by Dauntiess
 Shipmates.

City of Mexico, Jan. 7.-Louis Kaisir. United States consul at the port of Mazatlan, Mexico, has telegraphed to the Associated Press the story of the southbound trip of the Pacific Mail Line steamer City of Panama, which for days was thought to have been lost off the California coast. The story was related to the consul by Captain Nelson, of the City of Pan- anna, and shows that the fears for the safety of the vessel were well ground ed. for 1t recounts thrilling trip re- plete with danger, narrow escapes and heroic action on the part of officers and crew of the boat. Throughout the trip, however, but one life was lost. that of Manuel Acuna, a Chilean. who was a member of the crew.
 Captain Nelson relates the story of the trip as follows:
 We left San Francisco on December 31 with thirty-fve passengers on board. While we were crossing the bar, a ter ribIe northwestern struck us and the little steamer tossed like a chip on the seas that ran mountain high. The storm, instead of abating after we had crossed the bar, increased in fury, and we were in the teeth of the hurricane for seventeen consecutive hours. During the height of the gale the life rafts crashed against the deck, and were broken, and every moveable thing on board the steamer was washed over board. Mate George, Boatswain Tele- cea and two sailors were ordered up to secure the remaining life rafts but they no sooner reached the rafts than they were all swept overheard. With great difficulty life boat commanded by Mate Modem was finally launched Meanwhile three of the men who were being tossed about by the sea. Mate George, Boatswain Telecea and one of the seamen had succeeded In reaching one of the life crafts that had been swept into the sea
 with great heroism, Mate Modem and his crew reached the stricken men and succeeded in saving them. Acuna. one of the seamen, was seen to be tossed up by huge wave and to disappear. As the storm was increasing it was decided to run for a haven and the crippled craft was finally brought safe- ly into Drake's Bay on the coast of California. Although the boat had been badly buffeted by the sea, she was not so badly injured but that she could proceed on her journey. The boat waited for the storm ito subside and then proceeded on her journey south ward, arriving at the port of Mazatlan at o'clock Sunday night"
 when the boat steamed Into Mazat- Ian, the passengers were loud in their praise of the brave conduct and eff ciency of the captain and the crew. A collection was taken up, the proceeds to be used in the purchase of gold med als for the crew that manned the life boat during the height of the storm, and saved the lives of their compan
 ions.
 The condition of the steamer was such that she was able to proceed on her journey southward today.

4 PROMISING PARASITE.

So, naturalsts observe. q flea
 Has smaller fieaS that on him prey; And these have smaller still to bite 'em And so proceed ad infnitum."
 Thus saith the poet, and he saith truly So Dr. L. 0. Howard, chief of the Bureau of Entomology of the Agri- cultural department wil go abroad soon to collect gypsy moths infested with the parasites which were recently dis covered in southeastern Europe. He expects to bring back several hundred thousand of the parasite-infested moths to be distributed in districts now being ravaged. The idea is that the parasites will spread to the healthy moths and, in the end, exterminate the pests.
 Connecticut is interested in this ex- petition, for her eastern border has been, at one point at least, infested with the pesky moths, and it is impor- tant to the trees and the treasury that the right and the efficacious thing be done, and done quickly. We don't want the experience Massachusetts has had, where the moths have been spreading even faster than the large amount of money which has been appropriated for their e2termination. Here's hoping that the parasites will be business like, and not turn out like the English sparrow, which came over here with a great reputation for being cheerful bird, with vast capacity for eating insects and constant determination to work that capacity to it's fullest eS- tent.

4 TIME TO BE STEADY.

So far Connecticut hasn't been shak- en by anything except the New Britain disclosure, and we don't suppose that will be claimed by Prophet Johnson. So we can begin to feel that perhaps Prophet Johnson didn't know as much as he thought and said he did. Con- necticut has been pretty well shaken all the same, and 1t will be quite d while before the vibrations will cease to be noticeable. But we mustn't be unduly disturbed either by the princi- pal shock or the subsequent vibrations, It isn't time to lose any of our cour- age and hope. We shall have to go on patiently and honestly, as the main course has hitherto been. This is a land of steady habits. and the habits are pretty good ones, as a rule. So are the men. There are many strong and good men in New Britain. There are many strong and good men all over the State. So Connecticut can afford to be steady and sure. even in the face of this woeful failure of one man.

when the snow is on the sill,

A simple meal though this may be
 Of bread and butter, luscious honey And dainty cup of fragrant tea,
 1 feast besides on that which money Can never buy; for though the chill And stormy wind the snow is piling Tn deep'nng drifts upon the sill,
 Yet, winters dreariness beginning. Come pictured scenes of sun and shine; I hear again the bees loud droning. The rustlin3 corn, the lowing klne,
 The quaiTs monotonous lntonlng l see the furnoW brown and bare.
 The budding green, the slim stalk
 bending,
 Quaint shadows dancing everywhere
 In rhythmic fantasies unending. Behold the grain in bounteous sheaves Upon the field of stubby yellow; The splendor of the crims' ming leaves,
 And OCT the resting earth the mellow And dreamy light of purple haze;
 Now from the rip'niEg fruits distill-
 ing
 Come spicy odors-autumn days
 The promises of spring fulfilling. Sc, on my board, the loaf of wheat.
 And the aroma of the clover In golden butter stored, and sweet White honey culled by light winged Meath summer skies from myriad flow
 Are now to mind these scenes recall ing
 While chill winds blow and storm clout lowers,
 And snow on roof and sill Is plling. -Lewiston Journal.
