sage an adjournment of congress have
not yet appeared in the corridors and
offices at the capitol. Here and there
senator or a representative is steal
ing quietly away and telling his friends
that, by gum, he will not return during
the remainder of this burned session.
He thinks he has had enough and per-
formed his duty to the country and his
constituency. As a matter of fact he
is consulting his own convenience, per
haps hustling for some pleasure trip,
attending his family on deferred voy-
age to Europe or something of the kind.
Furthermore, speculation about the
closing day has died down somewhat
and the lawmakers are little more
content to meet the duties of the hour
and allow the future to take care of
itself. Those who were peremptorily
adjourning congress a few days ago on
August s or 10 have advanced the date
to something like August Is, which is
three weeks away, and that is quite a
long while in this hot weather.
The President is staying in Wash
ington without complaint. Nearly all
his cabinet officials are staying with
him. Secretary of the Navy Meyer is
the exception. He started away a
month ago, as though no hostile demo-
Gratis were occupying Washington, and
is understood to have laid his plans to
remain away for two or three months
more. Secretary of the Interior Fisher
is Just getting away for two or three
months for an inspection trip into the
West and Northwest, and Secretary
Stimson, as the daily dispatches show,
is voyaging in the West Indies after
visit of inspection to the Panama ca
mai. Otherwise, members of the cabi-
net are sticking close to their desks al
most every week day ond world of
assistants and official subordinates are
grooming in spirit because long and
pleasant vacations appear to be going
glimmering this year.
Their hopes, however, have not alto
gether faded. Perhaps the President
will travel TO the Pacific Coast in the
autumn and be con the road' siS
weeks instead of two or three weeks
as he originally planned. If so, long
and joyous official vacations will
! abound in the cool of the autumn and
there will be a Sam Hill of a time
making any government employee al
/ Washington do half man s work dur
I ing the months of October and Noyem
/ her. The feeling against the democrptit
congress for having smashed the pro
gram for summer dallying in the de
! partments is too intense to be expressed
! IN words and il in the autumn ther'
Is q chance TO get even. why these In
\ dignhnt officials simply will get even
They will stay away from duty n littli
longer than they originally intended
So there, now.

pouring in upon him is divergent. Some
tell him it is safe and also politically
wise to veto. Others tell him that he
will condemn the Republican party to
defeat for a term of years thereby, that
the greatest crisis of years is upon the
Republicans and that he can do some
thing to save his own reelection and
prevent utter party Generalization by
signing some of the tariff bills which
the Democrats and insurgents are put
ting up to him.
Taft Plainly Worried.
1t is little wonder that the President
is nightly worried The responsibility
that he carries to his party in that
connection is very great. His duty
to the people, who have been clamOring
for lower duties upon many of the
necessaries of life, like woollen clothes,
can not be lightly put aside. Much is
heard of the argument that the signing
OF these tariff bills viii demoralize bust
ness and bring on depression.
Accordingly the administration is
struggling along from day TO day try
ing to determine upon a proper policy.

Presidents are again being verified
Perhaps if the President could take it
all back now he would be very glad
to get along without the extra session,
He will not get Canadian Reciprocity
any way till after the regular session
of congress has convened because Can
ada will not ratify the pact before that
] time.
There have been limitations, how
ever, that President Taft is not in hall

has outlined. The arbitration treaty
with Germany is well on the way. In
spite of obstacles, the President is very
anxious 20 have these treaties ratified
at this session OF congress. Quite
lead ot missionary work with the SEN
ate has already been done and more
has been accomplished by creating and
arousing public sentiment in behalf OF
such treaties.
With the force of this public senti
mont behind them senators are less like
~ to resist the ratification OF these
arbitration treaties. Consequently the
President is disposed to try the treaties
on the senate gust rs soon as some of
been voted upon. If too much opposi-
ton develops, the President will have
to defer TO the wish of the senators that
ratification or consideration be post
poned till next session.
The president is also very much in
earnest about the Honduras and Nicara
guam treaties which were placed before
the senate some weeks ago and which
are being opposed by certain Western
Senators. lie would be willing con-
gress should remain in session for a
week or two longer than has been
planned if that would give the senate
les. Then the President would have
some additional laurels as a result of
the extra session of congress, called
solely for the purpose of obtaining reci-
procity with Canada.

 Tn a Tangle
 In a finding made by Judge Lock- wood of the Stamford Probate Court the account of Mrs. Albert B. Mitchell Frank T. Wyckoff is disallowed and claims made by Edwin l.. Scoheld, guardian of Spoffard T. Wyckoff, son of F. T..Wyckoff are, most of them, upheld The chief claims made by MT. Scofield were that the administra- trix did not inventory as part of the estate 6SS shares of the stock of the ho VT k6ff Pipe and Cresoting Company Inc; 40 shares of thes stock of the Metropolitan Street Railroad company of New York city, certain moneys on deposit in banks to MT. Wyckoff's credit, about $3,000 collected by the Wyckoff Pipe Go. after Mr. Wyckoff's death, also sundry household furni- ture. Mrs. Mitchell claimed that MT. Wyckoff transferred both the Metro politan stock and the Wyckoff Pipe Company stock to her when he was i'll. She claimed the stock was an outright gift to her. Judge Lockwood finds that she should have listed the Metro politan stock in the inventory, and that she must account to the estate for it. He also finds that Mrs. Nit chell has not established aedelivery of the Wyckoff Pipe O., stock, and that there was. therefore, no valid gift Of it to her. Thus this stock is also part of the estate. Frank T. Wyckoff died Feb. 19, 1903. His widow subsequent ly produced will wherein she was given life use of the property and was to receive one-third of it. This will bore the signatures of only two wit- nesses and the Probate Court declined to admit it. Subsequently Mrs. Wye koff claimed that her husband, had, before he died, given her absolutely all his property. Following Judge Taylor's refusal to admit the will, Mrs. Wyckoff was appointed adminis- tratrix of the estate. At this time the son, Spofford Wyckoff, was 12 years of age. Time passed, and Mrs. Wyckoff presented no account as ad- ministratrix. After eight years Ed win L. Scofield was appointed guar dian of the son Spofford Mr. Scofield

What Are Purely Dome tic AffairS?"-Irish COnstabuIary to Go Gradually-$5O, ,OOO,- l, 900 to Start Scheme of Irish Self Government
(By United Press.)

London, Oct. 25-A cabinet commit
 SC. assisted by prominent Irish of
 icials, has drafted a home rule bill
 Ehich will need lot of whacking in
 shape before Parliament can safe be asked to vote on it. In its resent shape the hlll contains many aanlas. cons3dsrabie prosressl has ,esn made, however.
 The bdu provides that the Irish par lament in Dublin shall have control
 ~er Ireland's purely domestic af- 'airn" and that It shall not restrict sr impair the authority of the imperial saxliament in Westminster This is L-eop to those fmperiaIists" who be- iove that Ireland seeks separation ro@ tne mother eountry
 isrs 3wdth the kings business. It will sot be permitted to make terms of beoces or declare war, or make treaties vtth foreign powers
 Nhs king. through his proxy, the ord lieutenant of Ireland, shall have he power to summon. prorogue and assolve the Irish parliament, and to rsto any bih. This does not mean much. however, as the Nationalist nrty will have a permanent major ty m the Irish parliament. and if the ord lieutenant vetoes bill on which he Nationalist partys heart is set, ihe government will resign and 1t will se impossible to replace it. The only way out of the deadlock will be for 11e lord lieutenant to surrender
 There will, of course. be a first and second chamber, as in Westminster, and the members of the second chamS 1er will be Irish peers. The Nation ahsts arc ansisting that. the Irish peers shau have no greater powers than are allowed to peers in the imperial gilded chamber. That is. they shall not have the power to veto. The cabinet ln fh1s matter.
 Inc big question with which the committee as struggling Is: What are purely domestic affairs'?" It Is un- deFstood that in the tentative draft me Eish Parliament is given full con- trd of customs and excise, which con- stitute fseven-tenths of Irish taxes. If when it 1s passed into law, it will be . biz voctory for the home-rulers.
 It has been provfsionally arranged to give Ireland $50 900 900 with which to start in the business of ruling it. ae3f
 There hs been q good deal of wrang1ing over the question. of how much Ireland Is to pay to the British treasury for imperial purposes, and tho question has been left open. The Payment is not to begin until Ireland has recovered itself" whenever that may be.
 The Royal Irish constabulary and fhes Dublin metrQpolttan police force are to be gradd6l1y r6dnced a1ids final ly abolished, and municipal police bod les will be established instead. Ex- isting officials at the time of the change will either be retained ,or pen stoned
