All Must Confer.

Il don't mean by this to stir up pas
sion or feeling. l simply mean that we
must get together again. We must draw
all men into conference. That is what l
am interested in. and the reason l said
was interested in you more than you
are in me is that l know the strength of
PUBLIC man Is In proportion to those
men who are gathered with him."
The speech was cheered.
The governor also was greeted by a
large throng at Harrisburg, where he
stopped only a short time on his way to

Taft in revoking the order sending the
10th Infantry from the Canal Zone to
Nicaragua.
All authorities on international law In
the State. War and Navy departments
are practically agreed that there is no
technical difference between the khaki
clad soldier and the marine or bluejacket
when employed as a landing force In a
foreign country. But there Is public sem
tfment which invariably associates the
landing OF soldiers with actual warfare
and permanency OF purpose. On the

Reinforcements Arrive.
The navy's reinforcements are begin

The gunboat Denver arrived at Corinto
Tuesday. but the dispatch announcing
that fact to the Navy Department did
not reach here until early today. The
cruiser California arrived yesterday and
landed about 400 marines and bluejackets
at Corinto and steamed for Panama to
embark the $50 marines which the Prairie
is now speeding to Colon for transporta-
ton across the isthmus.
Upon his arrival at Corinto, Com
mander Washington, who now is the
senior naval officer in Nicaraguan
waters. called into conference a COM
mittee representing the rebels: The
revolutionary forces acquiesced in the
demand for the immediate repair Of the
railway between Corinto and Managua
and the opening of the telegraphic COM
munication.
A dispatch received here today said
that wires between Cor1nto and Mana
qua wou Id be in operation within forty
eight hours but that 1T would require
eighteen days for the repair OF the rail-
road.
Much suffering, by reason of the great
scarcity Of food. was reported by Com

NEW YORK, August 29.-"Well, hav-
Ing seen the real thing, let's go up to
'morgue' and look over the dead ones. =
This is what the New York newspa-
permen say when they get through
with the bustling Woodrow Wilson
headquarters and start to republican
headquarters. but, in point of fact. they
don't get to their destination. Stopping
at nearby hostelry they become so
interested in that famous painting of
Old King Cole. the merry old soul.
they neglect to carry out the object of
their journey.
The truth is. there is practically a
boycott by the local newspapermen on
republican national headquarters. due,
they explain, to their inability to get
to the responsible people in charge.
What with "Gyp the Blood still miss
ing and Lefty Louie lodging the po-
lice and lot of high-class citizens be-
ing caught owning gambling properties
and all that sort of thing, not to speak
of the rivalry Of the base ball teams,
local newspapers have about all they can
take care Of, SO the political writer's re-
fuse to cool their heels in political ante
rooms unduly.
What keeps the republican managers so
busy is beyond comprehension. visit
10 headquarters does not show any signs
of a rush of business. The supposition is
that the managers must be engaged in
Passing around the hat, begging over the
telephone or in other ways endeavOring
TO raise enough money to pay the jani-
tor and the charwoman. These two have
10 be settled with weekly.
Contrast Is Great.
One might well say 'How are the
mighty fallen" when the present situa-
ton is contrasted with that of four years
ago and previous campaigns. Where are
all the old republican war horses who
used to troop into national headquarters
with suggestions and eager plans for
vigorous campaign? The halls that once
knew them seem to know them no more.
Undoubtedly they are out In their own
bailiwicks, trying to save their own
bacon. Significant II not sadder is the
absence of even the usual hangers-On,
the eagles that gather where the prey is.
Evidently they have decided that pick
ings are poor and they have flown else
where.
With the near approach of the cleo
tions in Vermont, which occur September
3 and in Maine. September .. interest
in politics Is reviving hereabouts.
The democrats are basing fond hopes
IN Maine. They are confident of carrying

II there was any sadness, however.
it was not felt by the chief execu-

as he ever did before election, In

club, where he played "a round of golf
with his brother G. F. Taft, Albert In
gals and &. A. Kicks. Il was noted
that the president went around the
course in less than 100, one OF the
best scores he has ever made.
After lunch at the Taft nome the
president left for Washington at 3
O'Clock. He is due to arrive there
at $40 o'clock tomorrow morning and

sage to congress and attend to other

tive will visit Panama to inspect the
canal during the Christmas recess.
