Bennett had been let into the secret

hour talk from which Phelan had
emerged with the gleeful air Of one
who had unexpectedly found $1,000
bill. Thompson, too, had left that con-
ference with a look of calm. intense
satisfaction that TRANSPORTED him.
Other conversations had followed,
one of them in the presence of notary,
stenographer and lawyers. The trap
at last was ready to be sprung.
The financier for the first time in his
nine year close association with the
secretary met the younger mans gaze
without seeing the latter droop in def
erential submission. Now he received
back look for look from his former alb
ject slave, and it was his own glance
that wavered before that concentrated
glare of hate.
"Thompson!' he cried, and his voice
bore world of incredulous reproach.
Before him stood the one man on
earth in whom Wainwright had ever
placed implicit trust; to whom he had
cOntided his gravest business secrets;
the man whom he had SO shrewdly
tested in countless ways and who had

The next notation is on the same

lead to the belief that Shively did go
to the barn and, failing to end his life
there, had slipped back to his deserted

defeated completely, so far as concerns
its chance of controlling the delegation

comes forward TO claim the right 10 the
Senatorial succession. There is re-
port at the Department OF the Interior
that q change is likely 70 be made there
before the end Of this Administration,
and that 1t depends on the possibility
that Secretary Garfield may become
Senator. Whether there is anything 10
1t or not, the fact is that at the In

strong that Mr.. Garfield viii be the Ad-

CANNON ENDORSED,
ACCEPTS REVISION
Illinois Convention Which
Advances BOoms Adopts
Tariff Plank.

SPRINGFIELD, H., March 27.-En-
tEusiastic and unanimous Endorsement
OF Speaker Cannon, as Republican nom
iuee for the Presidency, and a plank
calling for a revision of the tariff. are
the features of the Republican state
convention. held in this city yesterday,
and are the sole subjects Of CONVERSE
tion among politicians.
The tariff plank, Of course, was a
source of interest. II was the general
opinion that the plank was worded in
a way which was intended 10 head OF
any criticism the Democrats might
make because OF Republican inactivity
in tariff matters at this session of
Congress.
There is little doubt that the tariff
plank was the product OF Uncle Joe. %
for IL was brought here b Repre-
sentative Henry s. BOuteI. Because il
undoubtedly expresses the views OF the
Speaker the plank is Of interest 1t
I'VE recommend to our delegates to
the Republican national convention
that they urge upon the convention the
wisdom of declaring for revision OF
the tariff TO be made at the next Ses-
sion of Congress, or at a special ses-
sion Of the SiXty-frst Congress, to be
convened Immediately after the inau-
guration OF the next President, March
4 1909.
I'VE believe that two main ideas
should pervade all the provisions Of the
tariff.
aFirst-That the protective principle
so prevail in all the schedules, that
American farmers, wOrkmen. and pro-
duCers shall be given the first call on
lhe home market. and
''Second-That no Illegal or unjust
combination, trust, or monopoly shall
md encourag cement or shelter in any
OF its provisions"
