WILL FIGHT HARD
TO HOLD HOUSE
Republican Regulars Are Again
Enthused by Kind Word
From Roosevelt.
[speciaI to The rimes-pIspatch


Washington, d. c., May S.-Two
weeks ago the Republican Regulars
were almost Indifferent to what the
Democrats call the decline OF the
Grand Old Party. but now there is
enthusiasm in the air. A kind word
from Theodore Roosevelt, the mighty
hunter has put new life in the leaders
here. Word to the effect that no money
would be spent in the coming con-
gressionai campaign was put out. but
within the last few days the tune has
changed, and the promise of siren
uous effort to hold the next House Is
apparent and the South is going to
be one of the most interesting battle
fields. The men who look after such
things believe that they can get one
or more Republicans in Alabama. hold
what they already have in Dixie, and,
perhaps, capture other districts In
North Carolina, Tennessee and Ken
lucky. The Ninth and Fourth in the
Tarheel state are listed as doubtful.
The Fifth in Virginia Is counted as
Republican.
The executive committee OF the Re-
publican Congressional Committee will
meet and organize for action Tuesday
night. John Motley Morehead, the anti
machine Republican Congressman from
North Carolina. member Of this body,
will report on the situation in his
State.
The leaders-Cannon, Payne, Dalzell.
Rodcnberg. Tawney, Mckinley, McKin-
lay and others-have their backs to tho
wall ready for battle, and Insurgents
who have voted with the Democrats to
defeat party measures will be ranked
as anti-Republicans. Fl, Il. G. B.

PROBABLY TOTAL LOSS.
Ice Has Been Destroying the
Schooner Emily Washington.

The tug James o. Carter Of the Taylor
fleet Of this city left here yesterday for
Shepherds landing, opposite Alexandria.
to endeavor to pick up the water-logged
schooner Emily Washington and tow her
into sheltered harbor. where she could
be overhauled. The trip was made at
the request OF Capt. Eugene Hall of this
city, who, 1t Is stated. had purchased
the vessel where she lay, but it was not
successful, as it was found that the ice
had caused the schooner to fall over
On her beam ends. and her hull was al
most completely submerged. with only a
portion of her masts showing above the
water. The condition in which the vessel
lies makes it almost a surety that she
will be total loss. BY the time the
winter Is over and the ice Is through
grinding and cutting at the hull, 1t is
thought there will be little Of the vessel
left worth saving. The Washington was
cut through by the ice about three weeks
ago. while on her way to this city from
Nomini with lumber, and was beached
on the fats, near the Firth-Sterling
steel plant, to save her. The ice came
and for two weeks she had been drifting
up and down the river with the tides
and the ice until a day or two ago, when
the winds and tides worked her into the
mouth of the old railroad car ferry slip
at Shepherds.

Divorce in England.
From the London Globe.

rom the llOnuOn GtoDe.
Divorce may be good or bad in itself.
but 1t cannot be good for one class and
bad for another. AS things stand now In
England it is the luxury of the well-to-
do, and it is practically impossible for
the husband or wife without at least fair
means to obtain it. no matter how great
the provocation may have been. Practi-
cally the pair are driven back to what
can only be described as the hating eX-
pedient of separation by a magistrate,
which is indeed cheap enough, but, in
most cases, also unsatisfactory.
Moreover, it is not only the very poor
who suffer. There are many people who
hold a certain position, but who cannot
afford the enormous expenses of the di-
vorce court. and are yet debarred by the
fact that they do not come within the
sphere of what is commonly called the
working class, from obtaining even sep
aration order from a magistrate.
Obviously the law, both as regards di-
vorce and separation, ought to be within
the reach of all classes. TO make 1t So
however. a certain amount of expendi-
the only practical suggestion which has
yet been made is to give a jurisdiction In
matrimonial causes to the county court
judges.
If that is to be done their number must
be considerably increased, for the amount
of work which recent legislation has
thrown upon the county court bench
makes il out of the question to impose
any further burdens without increasing
the number of those who are to bear
them.

The ice covering the Potomac above
