WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, May ., 1905.
An epoch-making gathering win as
semble in Washingto on May 18Th, at
which time the COY raors of almost
every state in the union accompanied
each by three lieatenants The Ma
tional Inland Waterways Commission,
the Supreme Court of the United
States, and representatives of both
houses OF Congress will gather in the
west room Of the White House to parti-
cipate in conference, presided over
by the President of the United States,
and during the six sessions to occur on
the 10th 14th and 18th, will endeavor
to formulate practical programme for
the cooperative conservation of the
national resources ofthe nation. With
a view to promoting that spirit of good
fellowship, which will make greatly for
the success of the conference, President
Roosevelt will entertain at dinner on
the evening before the conference, the
Governors, the members of the Su-
preme Court, the Secretaries of the In.
terror and of Agriculture, and five dis
tinguished citizens of the Uuited States,
namely Elk President Cleveland, Will
liam j. Bryan, j. j. Hill, Andrew Car
negie and John Mitchell. All have ac-
cepted the invitation with the excep-
tion of Mr.. Cleveland, and he has in-
dicated his desire to attend if his health
will permit. On the evening of May
14th, Clifford Pinchot, National For
ester, will give large reception in
honor of the Governors and other dis
tinguished guests, and on the after
noon of the 18th, Mrs. Roosevelt will
give garden party in their honor, in
the White House grounds.
Republicans in Washington who are
thoroughly familiar with conditions in
Ohio, have never felt any serious anx-
iety concerning the outcome of the
election i'll that State, but certain of
the more timid souls have feared that
Mr.. sForaker's antagonism to the N a
tional ticket might initiate against Re
publican success. All such fears, now,
| however have been dispelled by the ex-
| traordinary course Of the Ohio Demo
! cracy. They have made the error of
nominating for Governor, Judge Har
mon who has consistently opposed
| William J. Bryan in the past and who
! now finds himself candidate for Gov
NJ, on fiolyaf hiob oprIin1IYy -,
dorses Bryan. Republicans are asking
what will be the effect of Judge Har-
| mons nomination? Will he swallow
Bryan and Organism, or viii he stand
! by his own principles in opposition to
| the platform on which he is nomi-
! mated? viii the Bryan Democrats of
| Ohio enthusiastically vote for their
/ anti-Bryan candidate, or will their
| loyalty to Mr.. Bryan prompt them to
knife Judge Harmon? In any event
there will be, in the opinion Of Wash
| ington Republicans, an ample number
/ of nalconteuts to offset any such who
may be found in the Republican ranks,
/ and the Republicans assert that it is
the old story OF the Democrats in a
critical situation, making precisely the
blumdor needed to insure Republican
/ success.
The marble bust Of Abraham Lincoln
by scuIptur Gatzon Borglum of New
/ York which mas been accepted
/ by the Joint Library Committee and
will be given a place in the Capitol
building, is present to the govern.
ment from Eugene Meyer, Jr., of New
York. The head, of heroic size, was
sent to the White House in February
last for the inspection of President
Roosevelt and has remained there un-
till recently. The President was much
pleased with it and Robert Lincoln
says of it, in letter: 81 think it the
most extraordinarily good portrait of
my father | have ever seen.'
