President Will Make
No Reply to Foraker

The President viii make no comment
upon the statement issued by Senator
Foraker in his own defense last night.
In fact, Il was announced at the White
House this morning that the President
would make no statement Of any po-
1iticaI nature today, meaning that he
would pass over the designations Of
Haskell and du Pont, as well as the
Foraker defense
There is a growing impression that
Republican leaders are just a little wor-
ried about the delay of Bryan's reply
TO the Presidents telegram in which the
latter took occasion to score Mr. Has
lell. Mr.. Bryan, Senator Foraker, and
the Democratic platform. Mr.. Bryan
IS generally pretty quick upon the trig-
ger in matters of this kind. and his de-
lay in coming back AZ the President is
causing some Of the politicians a lit
tie concern.
It is wondered what Mr.. Bryan has
up his sleeve. The delay indicates that
he will not come back with pyrotechnic
verbal display but may have a few IN
comfortable facts to uncork- Hence the
uncertainty in Republican quarters
on the other hand, some leaders are
just as certain that the President has
put Mr. Bryan up a tree, and that this
occasions the delay.
Postmaster General Meyer, Secretary
Wright, and Secretary Straus called
upon the President this morning. De
partmental matters only were under dis
cussiOn, it was said. Secretary 'E.-aus
was accompanied by Assistant Secre-
tary William r. Wheeler, who will rep
resent the Administration at the irriga-
ton congress next week at Albuquerque.
New Mexico, and later attend the trans
Mississippi commercial congress at San
Francisco in the same capacity.
