spOnses of the roasted guests are mere
ly facetious efforts to conceal embar-
rassment. This time the president.
who had been burlesqued as a king
ruling without regard to the constitu-
ton, took the occasion to vent his
mind regarding the attempted interfer-
ence of the senate with the dismissal
Of negro troops. He also Is said to
have told the banqueters that it was
well for the corporations that his re-
forms were being put through by the
force OF conservatism, for otherwise
'the mob spirit might be crowned, and
plutocracy would be shown no mery
or considera ton"
Foraker, runs the story, replied with
evident heat. saying that no one had

Secretary Shaw's Export Zone.
The speech made by Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw before the New Hamp-
shire board of trade at Concord,
Wednesday, has attracted unusual at
tention to a new and somewhat star
thing plan therein advocated whereby
merchants might import raw material
for their factories without the payment
Of duty. The secretary suggested do
ing away with the bonded factory and
putting in its place a bonded zone of
large area where manufactures could
be built to take advantage of the spe
cial tariff concessions. Into that zone
he would allow coal and every other
element of manufacture except labor
to be imported free. The condition on
which this zone should exist would be
that of supplying the foreign market.
To Repeal Dispensary Law.
The South Carolina house of repre-

In favor of bill abolishing the state
dispensary which for over eighteen
years has controlled the liquor traffic

the senate was known to favor the
measure, it was regarded as certain to
become a law.
Negro Appointment For Ohio.
The announcement that the president
had decided to appoint Ralph Tyler. a
negro of Columbus, o., as surveyor of
customs for the port of Cincinnati with
out the least consultation with either
of the Ohio senators, was generally I'M
derstood to be the Administrations de-
fiance of the Ohio organization and as
a reply to Foraker's attack upon the
president in connection with the
Brownsville affair. The selection of
Tyler is understood to have been on
the recommendation of Booker Wash
ington of Tuskegee, and the Washing
ton correspondents say that the Ohio
senator's are exceedingly wroth over
this disregard of their privileges When
asked what he was going to do about
it, Senator Foraker said he would leave
that to the third senator from Ohio
namely, Booker Washington. Inas-
much as there are some $4,000 negro
voters in Ohio, it Is deemed unlikely
that either Foraker or Dick will op.
pose the appointment.
Free Seeds Not Stopped.
Unless the senate and the president
interpose to the contrary members of
congress will exercise another year the
privilege Of sending to their cOnstitu-
ents free garden and farm seeds, the
house having allowed the appropria-
ton to stand. The bill as reported au-
thorized the purchase and distribution
of rare or new seeds for experimental
purposes only, but on motion of Can
