the Former President.

Washington. June 19.-President Taft
has received a letter from Theodore
Roosevelt. 1t had an English postage
stamp on it and very likely carie on
the steamer with the Ex-Presiuent.
Men who saw Mr. Taft at the White
House today came away and lin
strictest confidence" told the secl ct to
others, who, of course, had to have dis
Greet assistance in keeping it. So it
became known all over town. At the
White House all that could be learned
was that such letter had been re-
ceived.
Those who think they know what
was in it. say it was merely d
friendly reply to friendly letter."
The letter was sent by Mr.. Taft 50
that it reached MIR. Roosevelt just be-
fore he sailed from England. Both let
tiers are said to have been comparative
ly long and almost wholly of a personal
character. largely if not entirely avoid
ing politics and official questions
in short. just such letters as would nat
urally pass between two old friend:
such as the two men have been to
each other for years. Those who real
" know what was in the letters, will
not tell.

Pennsylvania Republicans who are
here make no secret OF their dHap-
poin:ment at Mr.. Knox's yielding TO
the urgency of the President and'a
the fiashing OF their hopes that he
would become their gubernatorial NOM
inee this year. In formal statement
issued here tonight Mr.. Knox declared
that, provided the tender of the nomi-
nation had come to him as expressing
the real desire of the party in Penn
sylvania he would have accepted the
nomination but for the request OF the
President that he remain in the cabi-
net.
1t was made known late today In an
unmistakeable way that the President
regards Mr.. Knox's decision as definite
ly refuting the rumors in circulation
for some time to the effect that the
secretary is not altogether happy in
his position.
The President was reported as even
anxious that the outcome should indi-
cate beyond question that he regards
Mr.. Knox as a great lawyer and
great secretary Of state. 1t was said
Mr.. Knox has played an important
part in all of the important acts and
policies of the administration.
Attention was called to Mr.. Taft's
studied policy of non-interference
with the heads of the executive de-
partments and it was pointed out that
in everv respect Mr.. Knox's acts and
decisions have had the unreserved sup
port of the President. 1t was made
plain that for every reason Mr.. Taft
regards the secretary's decision with
more than ordinary satisfaction.

finally by Congress today. The Presi
dent signed the railroad bill at 1O.15
o'clock tonight, but has not yet sign
ed the statehood bill.
Todays action was taken by the
House, the Senate having previously
disposed of both of the measures. 1t
was accomplished practically without
debate and in record time not even
roll call being required in the whole
procedure.
The railroad bill was the first to
receive consideration. Chairman Mann
of the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce. called the confer
ence report from the Speakers table
Brief speeches were made. among
them being several by Democrats in
expression of their opposition to the
railroad legislation as accomplished in
conference. Final action on state
hood legislation was accomplished
with even greater ease. BY reason of
pressure from the White House and
aided by some diplomatic work by
Postmaster General Hitchcock. op~
position to the acceptance of the Sen
ate amendments to the statehood bill
was almost entirely dissipated. The
Democrats were induced to foreg"
their objection by the judicicas cir
culation of a report that if the bill
went into conference it might not
emerge during the present session.
Cha irman Hamilton of the House
committee on territories at once real
lied that the only. thing to put the
legislation through and not delay the
session. was to agree to the Senate
amendments and he welcomed the
administration assistance.
1t cannot be stated definitely when
Arizona and New Mexico will come
into the Union under this legislation.
1t requires that the constitutions
adopted by the proposed states must
be ratified by Congress and approved
by the President.
The railroad bill is substantially in
accordance with the Presidents mes
sage demanding amendments to the
interstate commerce laws.
