Can he win out?
There are a good many things
which tend to make him at least a
formidable candidate. He would be
succeeding Scandinavian and there
will naturally be some disposition to
suppose that if any one is to take
Nelson's place it should be a Scan
dinayian. He is in office and has a
splendid organization.
Of course he will not oppose Mel
son. But is the senior senator to be
a candidate? And if not who will
be?

Is there any wisdom in digging W

Washington, Dec. 2S.-American pulp
and print paper manufacturers are
bringing pressure OF bear on Presi-
dent Taft to induce him to refuse to
yield to the demand by certain Euro
pean governments for the free admis-
sion of their pulp and print paper on
terms of equality with the Canadian
product. The disposition of the ad-
ministration has been to let this mat
ter be determined by the courts, but
as this involves long delay, the diplo-
matte protestants are by no means
satisfied and are adopting measures
to show their resentment.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, has informed the state
department that Germany would not
grant American exporters the reduced
duties ON tool steel and hard rubber
granted Swedish and japanese ex-
porters. under their special treaties,
because America did not admit Ger
man wood pulp and print paper free
of duty.
In view of the peculiar conditions
under which Canadian pulp and pa

ure some consideration is being given
to the propriety of leaving to Con-

CHINA Doesn't Know How to Meet the
Russian Demands.

Pekin, Dec 2S.-ln response to a
direct request by the Russian govern
ment, which was handed to the Chin
csc foreign Office by the Russian
charge d'affaires, today. that China
promptly resume control of Mongolia.
the Chinese government declared it's
Inability to comply at the present mo-
ment. The only action the government
is able to take regarding Mongolia.
the Independence of which has been
proclaimed is the appointment of two
commissioners. These commissioners
have been ordered to proceed by way
OF the Siberian Railway to Urga,
the chief city, to persuade the Mon
golia authorities to renew their ale
glance to China. But in view of the
present crisis, it is probable that the
commissioners will never leave Peldn.
1t is understood that the Ku Tux
Tu who is the religious head of the
mongul Budhists was proclaimed
Khan, today According to the Lama
doctrine this dignitary--the Ku TUX
Tu is the terrestrial impersonatien OF
the God-Head and never dies, but

| the body of some newly born boy, who
is sought for afterward according to
the prophetic indications of the Dalai
Lama in Thibet.
The independence movement is
largely religious. The dissatisfaction
of the Mongolian people has been long
standing, the Russians say, owing to
Chinese incapaeity and corruption
The Chinese Ambans or governors
have always plundered the Mongols
and enriched themselves and the same
time carried on an unjust administra-
tion.
For several years past the Chinese have
been aggravating China and have been
treating her contumaciously since the

The government contends that the

by the packers in 1860, and continued

alleged pools used to market the pack
ers' by-produets. 1t is alleged that the

dealt in castings. The government ex-
poets to show that the Kenwood Cos.
profits were $4,000 900 in one year, not
understanding it was Incorporated with
a capital stock of only $l40,0 600. The
profits of the Aetna Trading Co. also
are alleged by counsel for the gov

Gov. Dix Asks
Doty to Resign.

Albany, y. Y. Dec. Ex-Governor
Dix has asked fer the immediate res
ignation of DIR. Alvah IL. Doty as
health officer of the port of New York,
a position he has held since 1895. DR..
Doty'S term expired, last January. His
removal was recommended recently
by Charles Bulger, the commissioner
appointed by the governor to investi-
gate the management and affairs OF
the office.
In his letter TO DR.. Doty made pub
lie. today, the governor reviews thy;
report of Commissioner Bulger, who
declared that the history of the bus
mess administration of the states
quarantine is replete with evidence
of gross ineompentency and inexcus-
able negligence" The governor says
the evidence shows a condition or
snuaior and uncleanliness in the rooms
where immigrants were kept that
shocks ones sense of decency and
makes one ashamed of his country
He points out that these conditions
should not have escaped the health
officers attention. but whether or not
they came to his notice, he must be
held responsible for them.
New York. Dec. 2S.-Health Officer
Doty said, this morning, that he had
not received any request for his resig-
milton from Gov. Dix, and therefore
had nothing to say.
George Battle, counsel for DIR. Doty
issued statement, this afternoon, in
which he said that he and DIR. Doty
were astounded at the governors COM
and characterized Com
missioner Bulger's conclusions as lin
our opinion not only without founda-
ton, but directly in contravention of
the testimony"
LAS to the request for the resigna
ton of DIR. Doty," the statement con-
tinues, "he is firmly convinced that no
reason has been shown (beyond the
request of tho governor) that he should
take such action. His term of office
has expired some months ago and he
has been personally anxious to lay
down the heavy burden he has sus
tanned for Il years. He has never been
a supplicant for reappointment but has
been and will be prompt and vigorous
to resist what he considers to be I'M
just and unfounded accusations. He
will, however. give the matter his care
full consideration and make such reply
to the communication of the governor
as may seem to him proper"

Boston. Dee. 2S.-Wind did untold
damage in New England, today. Coast
towns, particularly in southern New
England felt the brunt of the gale
which at some points is reported to
have attained a velocity of So miles
an hour, but the interior towns did
not entirely escape. Buildings Were
unroofed, trees, poles and wires We're
blown down, ehimneys dislodged and
plate glass windows demolished on all
sides The most serious disaster at
sea yet reported was the loss of the
schooner Mary Adelaide Randall,
which was driven ashore early in the
day at Block Island The crew was
taken off by life savers.
At Adams in the western part of the
state, the Mausert block was I'M
rooted and the heavy timbers carried
through the air for a distance of IS
wards. At Melrose, MILAN Taylor,
boy of Il, was pinned to the ground
when a tree was blown upon him. He
is in a critical condition. But for the
fact that it is vacation week, many
children might have been injured in
Medford, for there huge tree fell
against a schoolhouse and sent show
ers of broken glass flying across the
vacant rooms.

IMPERIAL ASSEMBLY.

Pekin, Dec. 28.-The assembly i'll the
palace, today, to discuss affairs con-
necteG with a settlement of the revo

dramatic incident. The Dowager En-
press, the premier, Yuan Shi Kai, and
the princes of the Imperial Clan at
tended, and the debate waXed so warm
that finally Yuan Shia Kai arose and
offered his resignation. This, however,
was refused.
Premier Yuan explained to the
princes that he could continue the
government and retain the country
north of the Yang Use only by having
funds placed at his disposal, He ask
ed the princes to empower him to OBJ
tain money. He explained that $4,000.

soldiers for five months, after which
the South would become disunited and
province after province would return

But the princes We're unmoved. They
pleaded lack of money, although most
of them are very wealthy. None have
given any substantial amount to aid

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Courses of
aeronautics soon will be established in
American universities to fit young
men for the profession of flying and

Secretary MacVeagh, presiding over
todays session, defended President
Taft's tariff policy and endorsed the
work and report of the Tariff Board.
1T appears likely that the demand
for collegiate instruction of young
men wishing to enter aerial engineer
ing as a profession will soon require
the establishment of regular courses
of study" said Prof. Rotch.

Prof. Henry Seager of Columbia

ing, urged the establishment of a fed
eral commission on industrial diseases
for which legislation now is pending
in Congress.
: Not more than 10 per cent. of the
men engaged in work accidents were
able TO obtain compensation under the
so-called common law" said John H
Wallace member of the Industrial
Commission of the State of Washing
ton. Mr.. Wallace characterized the
nation as "A bad employer" and his
View was endorsed by l. M. Rubinow,
former expert of the National Blu

There must be immediate legislation

not willing to remain among the worst

no fire protection it spread as long as
it found fuel. The hotel was damaged
but not destroyed. The fire burned I'M
