MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 2G

1.-THE sale OF American bonds abroad
has been ruined by the threatening
utterances OF Theodore Roosevelt on his
western trip. On the exchanges OF
London, Paris, and Berlin, they are
watching Roosevelt's speeches as close
" as people are at home and are gov
erning their confidence in America Sc
curlties accordingly" This was the
declaration in New York today OF w.
c. Brown, president OF the New York
Central Railroad who returned fromEu-
rope today from vacation. As a specI-
fic case OF the alleged distrust caused
by Roosevelt intempcrance, Brown
said that the Michigan Central has
81, 500, 900 worth of bonds in the mar
ket in Europe and will hardly be able
10 sell a dollars worth. President
Taft, in his dignified frcck coat and silk
hat, cuts sorry figure after Roosevelt
has passed on his bucking broncho'
with his lariat at the pommel, " Brown
continued. II have been lifelong
republican, but am beginning to be-
lieye that there is wrong trend in the
party now. think the Maine election
porteDds a democratic House OF Rep
resentatiyes. 1t is too early to say any
thing about the outcome of the presl-
dental election.

Rev. III. S. Johnson in sermon on

cussing the former president and his
activities, Rev. Johnson said in part:
Theodore l needs to be controlled.

markabIe man in our generation. lie

trouble lies. When a man begins
to think too much of himself, he be
gins to forget others. Hitherto have
always voted for him. | think he IS
a second Abraham Lincoln. | think
everything that is good about HIM.
He will spoil all the respect he has
won in the hearts of many people If ne

he content with two terms.

the tide is running at present, Roose-

The Cholera in Naples.

Naples, Sept. 26.-The press oil
Naples today began vigorous attack
on the government and municipal
health authorities for concealing the
true cholera situation in Naples until
the disease became so widespread that
concealment was no longer possible.

ing the people how to guard against
the disease, but dispute this, it is feared

Banks and Their Powers.

Washington, September ga
national bank has no power to use its
funds in paying premiums on policy
OF insurance upon the life Of its presi-
dent or other officers, not indebted to
the bank, though the policy be payable
TO the bank. This rule was announced
in statement issued today by Comp
troller Of the Currency Murray. Bank
directors can make no contracts with
the PRESIDENT" said Murray" which
will prevent them from discharging
him at pleasure. A large Insurance.
policy upon the life il its president
would seriously interfere with the dis
cretion vested in them as to his reten-
ton in office. II national banks were
given power to insure the lives Of their
officers and employees, examiners would
soon be confronted with new class OF
assets, the value OF which would be
highly speculative and which would
offer special temptations for over valua-
ton TO the officers Of the bank"

chinery and inspect the government
experimental farms.
The president today sent to b. A.
Fowler, president of the 18th National
Irrigation Congress, at Pueblo, Colo.
the following telegram: Il regret that
my official duties prevent my presence
at the National Irrigation Congress as
it would be pleasure to extend per-
sonal greeting to its members and show
by my presence The regard in which l
hold the policies for which it stands
and the large work in which it is in
lerested. My views on the subject
of irrigation OF our waste lands and my
deep interest in this question are known
from my public utterances; but | wish
to take this occasion to express to the
members OF the Congress my thanks
and the thanks OF the country for what
you are doing and the support you are
giving TO the government in its great
work ofreclaiming the desert land OF the
arid districts. trust that your counsels
may be wise and that your deliberations
may result in much good"
President Taft and his cabinet today
get down to the work OF winding up
the machinery Of the administration
for another winter. The White House
stag party" assembled at II O'Clock
armed with portfolios and sundry doc
uments, and convened in the cabinet
room of the executive offices. The
sessions which will be held today and
tomorrow are for the disposal a
routine cabinet work in prepare
ton for the coming session of Congress.
The president and his official family
will postpone discussion of politics
until later in the week. Tomorrow
history may be made at the republican
conventions in New York and Indiana.
The one will decide, in measure at
least, what part Mr.. Roosevelt will play
hereafter, and the other may be produc-
tive of information as to the progress
of insurgency in the middle west.
Among the questions which the presl-
dent plans to submit to his cabinet are,
What about ROOSEVELT" What
about insurgency" 1t has been de-
cided that the cabinet meetings shall
first be devoted to a cleaning up all
routine, business. Then attention will be
directed TO the most important business
before the administration-that OF
working for victory in November.
The deliberations of the cabinet this
week are expected to result in some new
plan OF salvage for the party after the
wreck of hopes that occurred in Maine.
Possibly the new plan which the ad-
ministration evolves may be given pub
licity in the speech which the president
is to make next Saturday night, before
the League OF Republican Clubs, at
New York. This will be the only poll
teal address to be made during the
campaign by the executive. 1t will
naturally be regarded as a
keynote" for the republican forces.
But for the present at least, the cabinet
is to lay aside politics and lay plans for
rushing through big programme OF
legislation at the coming session. II
the democrats do win, the administra-
ton must condeuse two years work IN
to the few months of the coming short
session.

TONGMEN LOSE.

The attempt on the part Of the tong
men Of st. Mary's and Calvert coun-
ties, Md, to prohibit dredging OF
oysters inside of direct line from Cove
Point, in Calvert county, to Cedar Point
in St Mary's county, on the plea that
to that line extend the waters of the
Patuxent river, failed of its purpose.
The Circuit Court at Leonardtown Sat
urday declared William j, Edwards, Of
Calvert county, who was arrested and
fined $50 and cost for dredging in the
disputed territory, and who subsequent
lv appealed his case not guilty, so that
the line established by the present
commander OF the oyster navy, I. c..
B. Howard, from Hog Island, in st.
Mary's county, to Drum Point, is to
continue to be the line defining the
mouth OF the Patuxent river.

A UNIQUE feature of the Elizabeth
City county republican convention,
which was held in Hampton Thursday,
was the fact that a negro attorney pre-
sided, while a number Of prominent
white men took part in the delibera-
tions OF the body. A white republican
acted as secretary. Delegates were
elected to the district convention and a
county executive committee was elect
ed. a mixture of colored and white
men. Probably rs per cent OF the sew
enty-fve persons present were negroes.
This reads like the reports of repubh-
can meetings held in Virginia during
reconstruction days.

Result of Target Practice.

Fortress, Monroe, Va, Sept. 90
The battleship Idaho claims the gun
merry trophy, as the result of the target
practice Just completed by the Atlantic
fleet, which arrived in Hampton Roads
today. Preliminary estimates show
that the Idaho has score OF IA per
cent of hits. The nearest competitors
is believed TO be the Minnesota, with
1902 per cent. The SUCCESS Of the
Idaho is particularly gratifying to her
officers because last April she was
given twenty-sixth place among twenty
seven ships. Since then in practice
drills she has fired Twenty thousand
sub. calibre shells. The Idaho's twelve
inch guns this year made 1903 per
cent hits.
Admiral Schroeder is well pleased
with the results OF the practice, in view
OF the adverse weather. The scores
showed the ships to be efficient fight
ing machines. After short stay here
all the ships. except the North Dakota
and Georgia, which have had recent ac-
cidents, will proceed to New York.
