WASHINGTON LETTER.


Washington D. c.. Jan l, 1907.
No President OF the United States
can declare war. that is the sole
constitutional prerogative OF the re-.
personalities Of the people and the
states. No President can force con.
oitions that would lead 70 war un-
less the people-public opinion
should be perverted enough to sane.
ton his actions. AS the common
people have to fight the battles and
pay the taxes, il is but wisdom for
tnem TO watch their leaders and re.
presentatives. to head of any war
Ike moves and decry any warlike
motives. The force of public opin-
.on has made the voyage of the
American battleships o 'frolio" in
lead of fight" with an under
ground motive Of presidential poll
r.cs in the Pacific States. With q
srreuuous aud erratic President in
Jmmand OF events, let US ell be
truly thankful that the mission of
me battleships is now declared to be
a peaceful one.
The large number OF newspapers
nd politicians that have supported
he position taken in this CORES
2,ndence on the outlook for Demo
c~atic success has been added 70
mis- week by the endorsement OF the
officially wise Washington Post on
re necessity OF the Democrats
eliminating q candidate who can car
~ the doubtful states. The Post
shows that no Democrat has been
elected President without receiving
the electoral votes OF New York,
New JERSEY and Connecticut. That
sition is emphasized by Mr.. Z. E.
Brown, editor of the Omaha Obser.

CHAPTER L-(continued.)

The chamber was vast circular
place round which were set several
scores Of desks. at which. on leather
covered seats, sat the deputies. Gu
the farther side from which he entered
was a raised dais at which sat NJ
Stalyan and a gentleman who was
presumably the president OF the cham
Der. Behind the dais was the throne.
A dozen wide, crimson-carpete6
steps led up to II. and on It was set.
beneath a canopy, a great gold-legged
and gold-backed chair.
There was n great hush over tho
place as Strong entered, and all the
deputies rose up in silence 10 receive
him.
strong cast a quick glance about
him, stepped forward. and walked on
till he came to the center OF the cham
Der. There he stood for a moment and
bowed 10 M. Stalvan.
NJ. Stalvan climbed down from the
dais and walked TO meet him. He car
ried his hat IN his hand and bowed re-
peatedly as he approached Strong.
Then, In a very pleasant. level voice,

Strong to follow him.
He led the way TO the throne. and
for a moment Strong had half a mind
to hang back. To ascend that throne
seemed to be the climax of audacity.
although It was the thing for which he
had been SO strenuously fighting
during the past few days.
He was conscious that several hun
bred pairs OF curious, envious, angry,
scornful and suspicious eyes were bent
upon him. The representatives OF the
people OF Bahama were closely watch
ing him to see what his appearance
and his manner might be.
For q moment 1t was necessary for
Strong to thrust away from him the
recollection of his unwashed face and
hands and his weatherbeaten clothes.
Then his pride and his arrogance and
his easy scorn OF all men except him.
self came back to him, and he marched
forward with the quick. firm stride OF
man who knows that he has won.
He mounted the steps OF the throne
without further hesitation, and turning
about, bowed to Their light, straight be-
fore him and to the left OF him. and
then took his seat on the gold-legged,
gold-backed chair.
And, in spite Of his battered appear
ance, the size Of him. the strength of
him, and the majesty OF him overawed
the men before him.
He was thinking Of nothing now
save his purpose, and that thought
wiped out from his big-boned face any
expression save one Of cold cruelty.
There was great silence, and all

car T. Nelson. Of this city. was doubly
lucky while hunting. He killed the
famous Anaconda bull moose which
had lodged Alaska sportsmen for
years, and discovered a vein Of gold
on Fairbanks creek.
Word of Nelson's strike was re-
ceived here by his brother. While
hunting with two prospectors on Fair
banks creek, a moose trail was struck.
That the Anaconda bull was near was
evident by the tracks. The scouts
soon jumped the big fellow, and he
made straight for Nelson, who was
lying under cover. When the animal
was within 150 yards OF Nelson, he
scented danger and darted in an OPP
posite direction. He was too late and
had to take the bullet.
While the moose was being quar-
tered. Nelson noticed that the rock,
which had been exposed from beneath
a layer of moss torn loose by the
dying animals struggles bore gold in
large quantities.
The moose weighed 1000 pounds
and its antlers spread trihe over
seven feet

at the foot or the steps OF the throne.
Then the old man turned about, and
the pleasantness OF his voice was lost
In his effort to make himself clearly
heard in every corner OF the vast build
ing.
Gentlemen" he cried, ''it is my
the man who has battered and
bludgeoned us into accepting him as
our ruler. His majesty the King Of
Bahama has not abdicated, and de-
clines To abdicate.
"On the other hand, he is conscious
that 1t would be laying a burden upon
this country greater than IT could bear
IL he were TO deny us the right of max
ing peace with NJ. Strong. NJ. Strong
am sure, will not take IL amiss when
l say that naturally We cannot regard
him with very friendly feelings. We
are his beaten enemy. That we should
have been his enemy was none of our
seeking. We are not consulted In the
matter; and when we attempted to
urge our claims. our claims were
steadily ignored.
"Our unhappy country" the old man
went on, has been made the cockpit
OF the world, and confess that I, for
my part, can see no end to our trouble
as yet. II seems TO me. however, that
II would be useless TO any longer deny
the right born OF might which NJ.
Strong has gained to dictate our des-
TIMES.
"He has proved that single-handed
he can defeat the state, and though We
may not welcome him as a ruler, at
least for our own sakes. for the sake
of our peace, for the sake Of our
homes, for the sake OF our men, for
the sake of our women, and for the
sake OF our children, II appears best
that we should put from US our pride
and accept him as the man who shall
put us right with the powers OF the
earth.

all action which his majesty may take
to consider NJ. Strong as dictator OF
Bahama"
This speech was heard to the end In
complete silence. And not one wore
or action of applause broke the sill

Strong felt the chill of the silence
and shook himself. Then he rose NJ
