Particularly Candidate.
Cummins or Fairbanks will
Probably be Nominee.
THE TEXT OF LOEBs MESSAGE

Chicago. June rs. - Lafayette
Young, delegate at large from Iowa,
received a telegram from Secretary
Loeb which stated that President
Roosevelt had not expressed desire
10 see Cummins' name on the ticket
or that of any other particular per-
son. Loeb's telegram was in re-
Spouse to telegram from Young I'm
which the latter asked for an ex-
PLANTATION of the presidents attitude
on the vice-presldential nomination.

age.
The president has not expressed
any opinion for or against any candi-
date for the lce-presidoncy, and Will
no more express an opinion against
Governor Cummins that he would
against Senator Deliver"
Fairbanks or Cummins
Young, who has heretofore been
classed among the opponents OF Cum
Minis, said that he would do nothing
10 prevent the latter's nomination.
Developments of the day did no.
materially alter the vice-presidential
situation. and the opinion is the same
as IL was. that the nomination will
go either to Fairbanks or Cummns.
Fairbanks Wont Accept.
PRONUNCIATION OF the letter from
Vice President Fairbanks reiteratlng
his "irrevocable determination" no;
TO again be candidate for the office
he now holds. was the most import
ant development OF the day In con-
nection with the vice-presldential
! nomination.
Despite this letter there were as
many prophecies that the vice presi-
dent would IN the end be called upon
to succeed himself
n was confidently asserted that he
would not decline the unanimou
domination His close friends. how
ever, openly declare that the letter

that state Chairman Woodruff might,
after all. present Sherman's name to
the convention. There is no formal
decision on the matter. however.
Feeling is growing that Fairbanks
position might prove so truly lrrevo-
cable that not even unanimous nomi-
nation could dislodge him. This con-
s!deration materially encouraged the
Cummins talk. as well as that OF
various other candidates.

BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou
sands Of ,Devout Pilgrims.

. -
Thousands Of pilgrims from the Va.
rious outlying villages and other parts
Of the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour in the morning to the
temples Of Jagernath, says the Cal.
cutta Statesman. ~
The image Of the god Is placed on
a conspicuous part Of the temple, 30
that 1t can be viewed at an advantage
by the immense crowd Of pilgrims.
and there at certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences.
The most curious part Of the festi-
val is that water is not poured on the
image of the god until certain small
bird is found sitting on the topmost
banner Of the temple. There is pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Puri. the famous place Of Hindu pilgrim
age, to Maheoh on the day Of this
festival, and his very presence is an
indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath the bird disappears.

Late September is the warbler sea-

forming this family hurry southwark.
Save to the keen observer their pres
ence is unsuspected. They keep as a
rule rigidly to the tree tops, where
they carry on unending war against
the myriad of insect foes of the foli-
age.
The warblers are mites of creatures,
the largest of them being about the
size of the English sparrow, while the
great majority are but a trile larger
than the kinglet, which is the smallest
bird we have, barring only the ruby
throat hummer. Search all the bird
families and you will find few mem.

There are something like 40 species
of warblers. and in their colors they

The sauciest of warblers is the
Maryland yellow-throat. This yellow
throat, like the blackburnian, Is a
beauty. With the other bird out of
the question the yellow-throat might
be awarded the palm. 1t Is not hard
to scrape acquaintance with this little
fellow. He is always dressed for a
masque ball, and as he peers at you
from out the bush where he has taken
refuge his eyes twinkle. through the
top of his black mask and he seems
to say: Find out who l am If you
can"
The Maryland yellow-throat is a
ground lover. 1t inhabits the whole
northern country in summer. 1t Is this
beauty which occasionally builds Its
nest in the unsavory skunk cabbage,

lieved the birds olfactory nerves were
lacking, Possibly. however, 1t is q
case of all things being sweet to the
sweet, for the yellow-throat Is sweet
tempered little fellow, withal his voice
is occasionally querulous. Its note
sounds something like "Witchity
witchity. witchlty.' though 1t may be
translated to suit the fancy of the
hearer. John Burroughs. who is al
ways apt, thinks the yellow-throat po
litely asks the wayfarer: Which way
sir?"
One of the destinations Of advanced
study of the warblers is the possibility
that one may stumble upon rare spe
cies. Frank M. Chapman touches up
on this point In his Teachers Man

POSTPONED TO JUNE l
DATE OF OPENING BIDS FOR
CEMENT FOR CANAL.

BY direction of Secretary Taft the date
for the opening of bids for 100000 bar
rels of cement for use in the construc-
ton of the Panama canal has been
changed from May to June 1 next. The
circular inviting proposals for about
S. 600. 600 worth OF cement was issued jan
uary % last. and fixed March IL as the
date for their opening and consideration.
Since then the date Of opening has been
advanced to April 3d. then to May l and
now to June 1. These changes have been
the subject of no little comment among
persons interested in the competition
Secretary Taft, when asked today for an
explanation as to the latest postpone
ment of the date for the opening of the
cement bids said it was done simply in
order to await the action Of Congress on
the Frye bill providing for the transporta-
ton by sea of material and equipment for
use in the construction of the Panama
canal.
That bill limits such transportation to
American bottoms. The measure has
passed the Senate and has been re-
ported to the committee of the whole
by the House committee on interstate
commerce.
You can say for me-" said Secretary
Taft, that the date for opening the
bios was changed to June l at the re-
quest of Senator Frye. Senator Lodge
and Representative Lowering and by
the direction of the President, and for
the simple purpose of awaiting the re-
suit OF pending legislation
