polar controversy during the evening.
He sat down amid loud applause. At
the close of the banquet 300 Staten
Islanders shook his hand. Among the
others who congratulated the explorer
were Gov. Hughes and Glenn Curtiss the
aviator. Both were seated at the speak

given to Boatswain Murphy.

they were clear. He was not ordered to

lieved to be somewhere in the region. If

fict for the fiscal year would be con-
siderably less than 500, coo, 900 In
spite of the fact that many were pre-
dieting it would be $40, 900, 900. It
is probable that it may go below 500
600, 900, as there is a surplus so far
this month, which it is expected by
experts, viii be considerable by the
end of the month and year.
The estimates of the departments
for 1911 are still being cut far below
the figures for 1910 and there seems
to be every reason to hope that the de-
fct will disappear altogether during the
fiscal year 1911, if not next year.
During a recent year debate in the
Senate it was declared that Mr.. Taft
the only candidate at present thought
of to succeed himself. This is not
surprising, as no administration ofrecent
years has enjoyed confluence and ap-
probation such as the Taft administration
has acquired. And this appreciation
will no doubt increase as the months
wear on, which means disaster to Dem
cratic pretensions and continued Re
publican success.

w Washington Letter.

lWashington, DC. The tariff de-
bate drags on with no definite idea oi
the date of final passage Even if the
bill passes the Senate by July I, it may
still be weeks in conference, but it is
now predicted that it will reach the
President by July IS The Senate Fin
ance Committees amendments will all
be adopted and the bill viii have SUBJ
stantial majority. The sc-called pro-
gTessives or insurgents will have filed
a good many pages of the Congressional
Record at a cost to the industries of the
country of half billion dollars and with
or no result, as even when joined by
most of the Democrats they have not
won On single vote. But the bill will
be perfected in conference and will be
as satisfactory as any tariff law can be.
Assuming that the bill will become
law in few weeks, speculation is
rife concerning next winters legisla-
ton. Three subjects command at
tentioD, Currency, Corporations and
Labor. There will 10 doubt be some
kind of currency legislation following
the report of the monetary commission,
but it is too early to anticipate its exact
nature. There is considerable doubt
about any further legislation at present
affecting corporations.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion may be given little more power,
but just in what directions cannot be
predicted at present. AS for so-called
labor legislation, that will depend
largely upon the labor leaders them
selves. Their wishes will be considered
if they can get together and agree to
something defniate, but if they con-
tinue in the future to fight among them
selves they will get no bill of any kind
before the Sixty-frst Congress. A
measure for steam-boiler inspection will
be asked for, and an anti-injunction
measure will continue to be discussed,
but until the leaders and advocates of
labor organizations agree among them
selves they cannot expect the Presi-
dent or National Legislators to fight their
battles for them.
It has been shown that no one can
deliver the labor vote either in a Ma
tional, State or Congressional election,
for the laboring man is quite capable
of deciding for himself, and will con-
tinue to do so.
The new tariff law as soon as it goes
into operation will result in the en-
ployment of two or three million men
now idle: and that is what the laboring
man wants most of all-work and good
wages, and that is what he is going to
get.
