The Republicans of the Senate.

Yesterdays DEVELOPMENTS in the Senate
are of far greater Importance than relate
to the filing of the Office of president pro
tempore Of that body. On the score Of
fitness for the place and high personal
deserts, the nominee of the. republican
caucus has every claim to consideration
Mr.. Gallinger in the chair would be a
most worthy successor of Mr.. Frye In all
relating to qualifications and experience
The Senate does not hold fairer or bet
ter man. On the floor he is a sound and
aggressive partisan, but never narrow or
bitter. In the chair he would continue
the best traditions of the place for i'm
partially in the Interpretation of the
rules. In making him their leader the
regulars put their best foot forward.
But the insurgents yesterday declined
to accept Mr.. Gallinger. and. 1t is stated.
will hold out against him to the end. If
they do, the regulars must capitulate and
let the insurgents name the man, or stand
pat and allow the Office for the present to
remain vacant. Mr.. Sherman should have
a regular understudy, but could get along
without one.
The regulars face q far-reaching threat
Capitulation may beget capitulation. If
~
the. present situation they will offer to
take complete command. II they are per-
mitted to say who shall sit in the chair
they will have some reason to dictate
as to what measures shall be put over
the plate And. Of course. that is their
object. They have both a tariff and
trust policy differing from the policies Of
the regulars. and their present maneuver
bears upon them.
Indeed, 1t goes even beyond them. 1t
bears also upon the control Of the next
republican national convention. 1t Is
anti-Taft now. and its object is to
| strengthen the anti-Taft movement for
next year. Politics of q national char
acter is in the Senate air.
It is reported that the regulars in
creased Mr. La Follette's ardor by re-
fusing him a place on the finance COM
mittee. AS they were certain to en-
counter his opposition anyhow, they prob
ably decided 1t would be best not to equip
him too strongly for his work, but leave
him to his own resources II this Is
true they decided wisely. He is sturdy
fighter and will find means without their
assistance to make himself very dis
agreeable. now. and later.
And this report recalls a report Of two
years ago. that MIR. Delivers course as
an insurgent was strongly infnenced by
his failure to be appointed to member
ship on the. finance committee. Up to
that time the Iowa senator had been a
regular But when he took the field as
an insurgent he famed out SO agrees
sively that other than tariff reasons were
IN his change ~ front. and
then 1t was that the senator's disap-
pointed ambition became subject of dis
cussion. Mr.. La Follette's insurgency,
however, is not of recent date, and no
sudden change Of front is chargeable
against him. He was an insurgent, in
| deed. before coming to the Senate, and
| there was already some speculation as to
| how long he would remain a republican

DIX has proved q disappointment to both
democrats and independents. He has
demonstrated no leadership, and offended
both Tammany and anti-Tammany. The
protracted row over the senatorship has
left much bitterness. The legislature is
doing things 1t ought not to do. and
leaving undone things that 1t ought to
do. Republican success next fall has
looked likely. and been freely predicted.
But It cannot possibly be achieved unless
the republican factions unite, and pull
steadily and all together
II the republicans lose the state again
this year through divisions. what will
they be able to promise themselves and
their party friends elsewhere as to next
year? II they cannot organize to carry
the state while the democrats are d.
vided and greatly demoralized. what
chance will they have with the demo-
Gratis working. as they will he next year.

New York is at once a most important

leadership. This happened last year
when it's references to Tammany in the
spring were the very opposite Of those
it expressed in the fall after Tammany
had organized the Rochester convention
and dictated the democratic state ticket
from top to bottom. Tammany in the
saddle looked good to the independents,
and they rode after, and helped win the
fight.
Again there is an effort to draw the
President in, but again it is failing. He

Making Over Cities.

The efforts that many cities are making
to correct defective development. or to
remodel themselves after a handsome
pattern. or to beautify themselves by the
condemnation Of built-up areas for the
creation Of civic centers. parks and bou-
levards. or for the widening Of congested
streets or the building Of new streets in
obedience to the needs Of traffic, are q
forceful reminder Of one Of the great ad-
vantages Of Washington. The site Of
Washington was chosen with q view to
city building. and the plan was devised
before . street was laid out or . pick
struck into the ground. Washington was

born right-born to be a beautiful capital.
This was great blessing. as the passing
| years and the experience Of other cities
have shown.
| Most cities just grew. A group OF
houses gathered at a crossroad. at
wharf or river landing. or at some spot
/ by the side of pike. House was added
| to house and a street made here and
| there, usually as immediate need suS-
gested and with no glance far ahead.
Village succeeded hamlet. town the vii
| lage and city the town. The generation
of the present usually had no forethought
for posterity The great capitals Of Eu-
| rope grew in this haphazard way, and
| untold millions of dollars have been spent
and are spending In London, Paris and
Berlin in the effort to set things right.
Washington started with an imperial
plan. L'Enfant's conception was poetic
and vast in scope. He looked into the
past and read the future clearer than
host of his contemporaries, and his car
ital-bui.ding plan was even too big for
| the grasp of many men who came after
him. In trifle over a century Washing
ton has grown beyond the limits set by
l. Enfant and is growing at a steady an6
| consistent pace. Stern means are needed
to apply in as large a measure as possible
the spirit of L'Enfant's conception to
those parts of the city springing up be-
yond the. bounds of the original plan,
and reasonable degree of success Is re-
warding the efforts.
The example Of Washington has been
beneficial to the world. 1t has contrib
uted large part to teaching the lesson
Of civic beauty. broad streets, wide, long
avenues, spacious parks. tree -sheltered
sidewalks and roadways and noble build
ings.
The commonwealth of Australia ever
since the federation of the states Of New
South Wales. Victoria. Queensland West
ern Australia and Tasmania in 1901 has
planned a federal. capital, and it has
passed through much of the same travail
over the selection of a site as did the
United States. The matter Of site for
the Australian capital was a troublesome
factor when federation began to be dis
cussed, more than half century ago. and
was lively question at the first confer
ence Of colonial premiers in 1889, and at
the Sid ney convention of 1891. The Sc
lection of the Canberra site was made
and the new capital is being surveyed in
a region of Wild land.
Japan has plans for q capital for For
mosa in which numerous features of the
Wass, ;ngton plan have been incorporated.
1t has been reported in the news that
a model Chinese city. called Heungchow,
is being constructed near Macao. The
model town is one of the features Of
the age.

COMMANDMENT OF CHINESE CITY
BEGUN BY REBELS.
Hundreds Of Imperiaiists Slain In Bat
tie In Which Revolutiontsts
Advance lrresistabIy.

Nanking.-The bombardment OF
Marking, the ancient capital Of China.
by the revolutionary forces who have
surrounded the city for several days,
has begun with an apparent determi-
nation that the last stronghold OF the
Manchus south Of the Yangtse must
eventually fall.
From the Tiger Hill fort for several
hours big guns spoke repeatedly,
while further up along the northeast
ern range, from the top of Purple
mountain, overlooking the Ming tombs
for fifteen mile semi-circle west
ward to the Yangtxe. smaller forts
scattered shells into every section OF
the city.
General Wong, second in command
OF the defenders, is among those killed
and it is believed General Chang. chief
in command, has quit the city, con-
WINGED that it's defense Is doomed to
failure.
In the engagement the rebels exhib-
tied superb disregard for the perils OF
battle and fought with irresistible
fury, crowding onward over the bodies
Of dead and dying comrades.
| The imperialists are known to have
lost 1000 men and 1t Is reasonably
! certain additional hundreds of the gov
eminent troops fell.
Losses on the rebel side were enor-
nous. but these did not deter the furi-
| Gus advance Of the attackers. The I'm
perialists, never for moment given
1 opportunity to launch crushing re-
taliatory movement. finally fed into
the city for shelter.
