 yesterday came up and the party con-

 home The sail across the Sound andi into Bridgeport was an extremely de-
 the splendid stiff breeze which suc- ceeded the storm.
 The run home as well as out was freely interspersed with giees and part songs rendered by the entire party. varied by many delightful musical renderings from the graphophone. so kindly provided for the occasion by Harry Cooper, foreman of the Press Department. G. c. Wright also took several very interesting and difflcult photos Of the party in naid-sound, clev- erly getting into some Of his groups all three boats with parties on each boat, which with an easel camera was no small feat both on the part of the shippers of the different boats as we'll as the photographer.
 The party arrived at their dock at | 6:3o in the evening, having had a. elor- iousIy good time. thanks to the fellow ing very hard working and efficient committee, who met with generous support from all members of the par ty. M. J. Cla,bby, chairman; R. Muel- Ter and F. Willard, secretary and treasurer.
 Upon arriving off F.ayerweather.s Island they learned that the Yost baseball team had won their game with the Newf1elds on Saturday af- ternoon, and gave three 1usty cheers for the base ball boys Of whom they are all so proud The members Of the party had indulged in sweep stake for guessing the score of the game. As soon as the result was learned, it was found that Herbert Johnson was the only member of the party who had given the score cor rectly as 8 to 3 in favor of the Yost.
 He therefore took the pool. Owing to the interest in the event, this being the first independent game played by the baseball boys. arrangements had been made for the result to be teIe- graphed to Northport, but for some reason had mis-carried.

The eyes of Europe have been drawn again to the intending march of political prisoners in Russia to the gallows and to the penitentiaries by the assertion that Emperor Nicholas not only knows all the atrocities per petuated in his name by the police. but that he approves of them- This charge was made in Socialistic pa- per, the Vorwaerts, of Berlin, which published what purported to be a fac simile of a special handwritten news paper issued only for the czar's in formation and containing plain details

It has fre- quently been asserted heretofore that the Russian ruler is ignorant of the conditions existing in his empire and has been kept uninformed purposely by his officials.

have been found. Whether or not the
policy of retrenchment will be adhered
to in this respect is also a matter for
presidential determination.
Among some of the more important
things which will engage the presi-
dents attention in other branches of
the government. is the creation of the
customs court. Congress failed to ap-
propriate money for the salaries of the
five judges although it did furnish
enough to begin the organization of
the court and pay salaries of some
minor officials. If the president had
appointed the judges during the recess
they would have had to serve without
pay. The selection of these five men
will occupy many valuable moments
of the presidents time.
The general tariff board appointed
to help the president enforce the maxi
mum and minimum features of the
new tariff law will begin its work in
earnest November l., studying the tar
ifs of foreign countries to find which
ones discriminate against the United
States. This board will doubtless re-
port from time to time to the presi-
dent regarding individual countries,
and the president will have to prepare
proclamations granting to those coun-
tries which do not discriminate against
us immunity from the maximum rates
which will otherwise go into effect
March 81 next. The boards work must
be completed by that time so far as
this feature of the law is concerned,
but the president is anxious to have
them continue to make Investigations
! for the purpose of a~scertaining h ac-
tual cost, in labor and material, of
manufacture abroad. Additional leg
| islation by congress will, however. be
| necessary before the boards duties can
be extended in this direction.
The president has already indicated
that he is going to make some import
ant recommendations for changes in
the interstate commerce and antitrust
| laws, including the establishment of an
interstate IN court: These
| matters. are bound to occasion wide
controversy, and it can be taken for

Soon after he became secretary of the

der instructions from President Roose-
Welt, because of the likelihood Of the
power sites included therein becoming

Ballinger maintained that the with

whether or not they really contained

The department and governmental

nit reports to the president shortly
after his return. In view of the fact
that members of these committees say
that they have found many places

CABINET HAS BEEN

Archie Butt, his laid, is now slowly

Secretary Meyer has been giving
much of his leisure to preparing a

been d thorn in the side of nearly
every administration since the forties.
The boadr under Rear Admiral Swift
which has been sitting in Boston al!
summer has about concluded its task
of digesting bushels of reports and
hearings on the question. and is ready
to formulate a scheme designed to Oh
viate the controversies which have
been disturbing the peace of the de-
paTtnent as far back as memory run
meth. From what Secretary Meyer
has already said, this plan is to pre-
sent many important changes, and
While it is under consideration is like

the navy itself in a ferment. Whether
it will allay naval criticism and bring
about amity between the line and staff
: and do many other beneficial things
time only will tell. So far the board
and Secretary Meyer have been very
secretive about the plan and it will not
be divulged until President Taft shal,
have acted upon it.
President Taft must also settle the
question which caused such a rumpus
during the Roosevelt administration
/ whether or not a surgeon shout COM
mand a hospital ship or whether this
function should be exercised by a line
officer. Sides have again formed on
this controversy just as they did when
Surgeon Stokes was placed in COM

place the vessel in commission until
course he will pursue. Besides there
are many minor matters of admins
tration in the navy which will require
adjustment, n question in particular
being the congestion of officers in til
lower ranks.
IN the state department there arc
no less mOnentous questions to be
decided. Secretary Knox has already
announced in general terms the foreign
policy OF the administration--notab;y,
that it is to be a commercial one. Put
ting it in practice, however, involves
many questions as yet unanswered.
Although President Taft has reiterated
his friendliness for Japan, there are
signs OF conflict on the Manchurian
agreement between that country and
Japan. n while a friendly attitude
is an a one to assume'in after din
ner speeches, it is difficult to play the
part against the aggressiveness of ia
pan. Our Oriental relations necessar-
lily affect our relations With other
countries, particularly as our determi-
nation to compete for the comuerce
of China places us in direct opposition
to the important powers of the world.
1t may be said that the entire Oriental
policy is still unfornulated.
Announcement will probably be made
shortly after President Taft returns Of
the appointment of new ambassador
to ondon, Paris and Vienna. These
are probably already decided upon
