News from Home.

London, Jan. The Manchester
GUARDIANS Nav York correspondent
tells from "positiVe aud confidential
source" 10 this mornings issue OF his
newspaper, of a midnight conference be
says was recently held at the White
House between President Roosevelt and
the heads of four coal mining railroads
to discuss the law forcing such lines to
dispose of their mines. The President,
the correspondent says, was at first de-
termined to use his influence to compel
the rosds to sell out BY May. When
the railroad men pointed out to him,
however, that sales could not be effected
in the present depressed condition OF the
market without enormous losses the cor
respondent relates Mr.. 3: oseyelt con-
scented to recommend suspension OF the
measure. The Guardian asserts that the
bill will nevertheless pass Congress.
Under the provisions of the railroad
rate law, passed in June, 1906, rail-
roads engaged 10 interstate commerce
are prohibited, after Msy l, of this
year, f!om carrying on their own lines
any commodity, except timber, / whose
production they are financially inter-
ested, save such as msy be necessary for
their use in the c10duct of their bust
ness. This, of course, means that the
railroads will have to dispose of their
holdings 10 coal mines along their
routes, unless Congress shall, in the
meantime, modify or extend the time
limit of this provision. 1t is known
thgt pressure has been brought to bear
on the President to send a special
message to Congress pointing out that
great financial losses would be sus-
tanned by the railroads, should they be
forced to sell out their mines during the
present period of financial depression.
It is believed that the President is To-
clined TO make this suggestion to Con-
gress, but as yet no official information
has seen vouchssfed from the White
House on the subject.

10 New York last night that if the

summarized It would be found ",hat they
have been due to our failure 10 stand
firmly for democratic principles, 10 8
preference shown by some for popular
drifting sentiment ss contrasted with
sound doctrine, and to preference for
men rather than a reverence for party
traditions"

John Fox, president ofthe club, was the
first OF series at which national and
local democratic issues will be dis
cusstd, with an intention to help DEM
Ocrsts decide. wisely the future course OF
the party.

unable to be present, sent his compii-
menis in letter, in which he expressed
the conviction that the situation con-
fronting the people had directed their at
tenlion more to their relief from condi.
tions that alarmed and startled them
than to the empty satisfaction Of parti'
san supremacy. Among other things he
said
sour country needs conservatism, re-
cuperstion from nervous prostrstion, re-
instatement of constitutional observance,
buoyant, but none the less safe, ard
prudent Americanism, scrDpulous care
of every person and every interest en-
titled to care, aud a square deal that
