Saturdays Session.

The House of Representatives Sat
urday was in its old-time form. No
particular programme had been map
ped out, but under call of commit
tees several measures in which the
members were especially interested,
and in some cases vitally concerned,
were considered. With few eXcep,
tions they cngendered the livcliest
sort Of debate, and it was disclosed
that the forces for OF against them
were fully lined rp for the fray.
Parliamentary tactics were freely re-
sorted to, with the result that five
times the roll was called.
The first ranele occurred on rcso-
lution fixing the boundary line be-
tween the States Of Colorado. Okla
loma and New Mexico. which was
agreed to by majority but not with.
out two roll calls. The House then
by a decisive vote refused to further
consider the bill providing for arbi.
trary settlement of disputes between
employers and employees.
Next turning attention to the bill
providing for the protection Of alicn:
in the United States the subject wa:
threshed out at length. The measure
hal rough sailing and it was passed
by a slim majority after the roll hac
been called twice.

When Or tega left the employ of Mir. Lutfy he took with him all the finest wear ables in the stores stock that he could well pack in a good sized tele-. scope, to the value in all of about $70.
 It is also suspected that the $6O in cash which was found on his per son was not procured in a manner which would reflect credit on his industry and frugality, but more darkly blot his book of life. MT. Lutfy has no way of substantiating the suspicion, but he knew that Or tega had little or no money of his own. He was flat broke when he landed there He was not of a sav- i ing disposition.

 Among the items found in the suit case were three pair of trousers, sev- eral fine silk handkerchiefs, silk shirts, fancy socks. fine petticoats, gold cuff buttons. the best of every thing he could pick. Had he been less covetous and more cunning he might have saved a charge of grand lar ,ceny. MT. Lutfy identified the goods, most of the price tags being still intact, and Ortega was bound over to the grand jury on this count under a bond of s400

 IlI.-The Constructive Party-it Orga-
 nizes the National Will
 In the evolution, by which party gov ernment has become the extra-cOnsti bility to the people, the republican party has become their traditional rep resentative and the democratic party the organized aspiration of individuals for power without responsibility. Fair ly tried, from 1893 to 1895, the two democratic houses and the democratic president were a wild team" and a helpless driver. Democracy agitates local differences, republicanism organ izes the national idea. In 1863 the people were committed to the cause of human liberty; the idea of liberty and union" expanded for the first time into the reality of the American nation.
 In 1879 money was committed to a ct 1893, no longer sought, and govern met bonds went to a premium at the reduced rate of interest. In 1896 busi- ness men were again committed to confidence; before a single statute was enacted prosperity set in and in ten years bank deposits almost trebled "a permanent gain which the recent panic, state of mind" now complete ly dispelled. scarcely touched. In 1906 business was committed to fair meth ods; without compulsion violations largely ceased.
 The republican party at each period, sounded the public conscience, felt the national pulse, framed it's policies in response, and realized in law the domi- nant American idea. Its constructive past assures it's constructive future. It is today as it always has been. ''The party fit to govern"
 IV.-The Party of Statesmen.
 The party of statesmanship, it has been the training school of statesmen. Its policies have been forged In the heat of public discussion, tempered in the deliberation and shaped in the con flict of many trained minds and drawn and finall,- wrought for the cOuntry's welfare. Dominating its members through principles, it assures unity in government; it's stanchest partisans have made the greatest contributions to national progress. The roster of its leaders is the national roll of honor of public service.

 Republicanism stands today for pro- gressive policies in safe hands. By solving the constructive problems of world power nthe last two adminis- trations. William H. Taft taught the world our capacity and his own. In all constructive legislat ion for twenty years James s. sherman has been a leader In the records of the repub- lican candidates as well as in the plat form are written the story of the na% tiOn's progress and the reliance of the future.

SISTER SHIP IN
FREIGHT FIGHT
THE PLEIADES AND HYADES NOW
SERVE RIVAL COMPANIES IN
HAWAIIAN TRADE.

SEATTLE, (Wash.), December s.
The Hawaiian Steamship
Company, through its Pacific Coast
agent, G. w. Cook of San Francisco,
has chartered the steamship Pleiades,
of the Boston Steamship Company, for
the run between this Coast and Homo
lulu. She will run in direct compe-
tition with her sister ship, the Hyades,
under charter to the Matson Naviga-
ton Company, now waging war on the
decentralization. The move is the
result of an attempt of the millionaire
sugar men of the islands to discipline
the American-Hawaiian. A number
of them are supposed to be behind the
operators of the Hyades.
The Pleiades, now on the Sound, will
be converted into an oil burner and
delivered to the American Hawaiian
by January LIST. When the Hyades
was chartered the announcement was
made that the Matson Company would
increase its fleet if business war;
ranted. The natural move would be
to charter the Pleiades, the Hyades
sailing with full cargoes The Ameri
can-Hawaiian Company was apparent
ly watching the situation, for altst
week C. w, Cook came to Seattle and
yesterday completed the charter of the
Pleiades. 1t is generally believed that
the move was made simply to keep
the vessel out of the hands of the OPP
position.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Mr. Laffan re-
plies to the presidents letter as fol-
lows:
THE editor of the Sun presents his
compliments to Mr.. Roosevelt and &C
knowledges his active sensibility in re-
spect of the attention which Mr.. Roose-
welt has been good enough to pay him
in his letter to William Dudly Foulke
of Indiana.
Notwithstanding the directness of
his challenge, the editor of the Sun de-
ciines a controversy with Mr.. Roose-
welt. he is by no means Indifferent to
the implied compliment discernible in
Mr.. Roosevelts TRADE, but Mr.. Roose-
welt has shown in his frequent COLI
sions with various persons of distinc-
ton that he has an overwhelming ad-
vantage over any respectable antagon-
list in his (Mr. Roosevelts) complete
freedom from any sense of personal OBJ
legation in respect to the ruth. The
editor of the Sun is fully alive to the
extremity of the inconvenience which
attaches to a personal controversy
with man who has shown himself
capable of suppression and perversior
of Individual correspondence, an act
which in ordinary life would, in the
cognizance of any club or association
of self-respecting gentlemen, entail hi
prompt expulsion.

disguise our chagrin and humiliation

The decision of the President quot
ed above will greatly please a num-
Der of naval officers. During the stay
of the Pacific fleet in this port the
news came of Demands sentence of
dismissal. AT that time the Star pub
lished an interview with one of the
officers in which it was stated that
the midshipman was held in high es-
TEEN by all the officers in the navy
who were acquainted with his work
and the hope was expressed that some
clemency might be used towards his
conduct, for which he and all his
friends were sorry.

FACTS ABOUT HAYTI.

Hayti is known as The Black Re-
public
1t comprises about one-third of the
2S, $50 square miles of the entire island
of Hayti-Santo Domingo.
The population of Hayti is 1,500,0 900,
or more than double that of Santo Do
mingo.
More than 80 per cent of the popu-
lation is black. Most of the remainder
is mulatta, the white race being scanti-
ly represented.
Port-au-Prince is the capital and the
principal city. Columbus sailed into
Port-au-P Prince in 1892, his flagship,
Santa Maria, being wrecked on a reef.
The French acquired title to HaytI
by treaty in 1897.
The cruelty of the French planters to
their slaves led the negroes to revolt.
Toussaint L'Ouverture was their leader.
Those of the whites who were not mas
sacred were expelled.
Napoleon sent 10000 troops, under
Leclere, to conquer the island. LOWER
ture was captured and sent to France,
where he died
Later the French troops under Gen
eral Rochambeau, unworthy son of the
great soldier who aided Washington at
Yorkton, surrendered to a British
force to save themselves from massacre
at the hands of the blacks.
Jacques Dessalines later became the
leader of the blacks and his soldiers
massacred every white they could lay
their hands on.
Hayti is the American home of Afri-
can serpent worship.

EDITORS REPLY TO ROOSEVELT

the president of the United States.
1T is curious that Mr.. Foulke is a
preferred repository of these conf
dences of the president. 1t was to him
that Mr.. Roosevelt wrote his memoir

candidacy-the letter which at once
took its place among the most valued
incunabula of veracity."
SMITH SHIFTS BLAME.
CLEVELAND, o., December 6.-De-
lavan Smith, here today on his way to
New York, was shown a copy of Presi-
dent Roosevelts letter, and made the
following reply:
"The presidents comments on the
Panama editorial are based on state
ments made by a prominent New York
paper, not the New York Sun, which
the indianapolis News printed at the
same time, with many other papers,
giving full credit to the source from
which they obtained it. In making
the editorial comment to which the
president takes exception the editor OF
the News credits its information to the
New York paper making the charge
and distinctly disclaimed any respon-
sibility for it's accuracy. This editorial
was published in the ordinary course
of the daily routine of the editorial
department at time when 1 was alb
sent from Indianapolis and therefore
could not have been inspired by any
personal motive"
