Reorganization of Republican
Party Due to Die 0'lt for
Another Year
BY FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL

BY FRANKLIN q. SARTWELL
Efforts to reorganize the Re
publican party from the top
down." which reached their
height Immediately after the con-
gressional election, have just
about been dropped and will re-
main dropped for at least an
other year.
The heartiest advocates Of re-
organization, it was said today
at the Capitol, are about con.
vinced that it would be impossi.

the matter of obtaining new lead.
ers until after the record of the
present session of Congress has
been written.
That, according to informed
opinion, will not be until June or
July. And the hot summer
months which will follow ad.
journment are not exactly con.
ducive to deep political thought
and maneuvering, it was pointed
out.
Wait Till Winter
So the reorganization scheme
will be held in allegiance until
next winter, and possibly, until
the following spring.
Republicans of all shades of
feeling, both the reorganization
lists and the antireorganizationists,
are inclined to the belief that
whatever the future of the party
is to be, and whoever it's leaders
are to be, will be determined by
what the party is able to do in
the current session.
In the consideration of every
piece of legislation advanced by
the Administration during the
current session there will be the
pregnant thought on the Republi.
can side of the aiSles that some
where a presidential and vice
presidential candidate are being
developed.
Leaders Are There
Among the Republicans on both
sides of the Capitol are men who
believe that they are ordained to
carry the party's standard against
Roosevelt in 1886. They have
their supporters and their work.
ers.
When any bill comes up they
will be thinking about the effect
their stand upon it will have upon
the aspirations they are nursing
for the next national party con-
vention. Their supporters will be
thinking the same thing.
There are at least half dozen
Republicans on the Senate side
who believe that the lightning
might as we'll strike them as
anyone else. There are not so
many, but still, several on the
House side who feel that way.
Naturally they wouldn't want to
get together on a reorganization
scheme for the party until they
have figured out how that scheme
would affect their chances Of win
ming the prize nominations that
now loom.

Hope to Extend Aid
It is assumed, he said, that the
Governments policy Of giving fl
nancial aid to the domestic air

Despite this, he adds, a net op-

In defense of the 3-cent letter
rate, the Postmaster General
points out that there was
$68,00O,000 decline in 1882 from
1881, and asserts that the $780,
900 decline in 1888 and the $780,
: 600 decline for 1884 prove the g.
cent rate the principal factor in
arresting the downward trend,
and says cit is imperative that
this Scent rate be continued.
He adds that the reduction made
on July /, 1888, from 3 to cents
for local letters did not bring in
the expected increase in volume
of either mail or revenue.
Cost To Increase
Expenditures for 1885 are ex-
pected to total $697, ,O92,564. This
includes subsidies for air mail and

JAPANESE AND
RUSSIANS IN
BRIEF CLASH

Copyright, 1885, by United Press)
TOXIC, June l1.-A clash be-
tween Japanese e-Manchukuoan and
Russian soldiers in which a Rus
sian was killed was revealed today
while japanese forces were con-
solidating their position in China.
japanese and Russian versions
contradicted each other directly.
Each nation blamed the other, and
each has filed protest.
All that was certain was that
patrol of japanese and Manchu-
kuoan soldiers met Russian de-
tachment and that a Russian was
killed.
The fight occurred June 8. L
was not made public until Russia
announced its protest.
Japan's version is that the pa
trolls met on Manchukuoan soil,
near Lake Hanka. Lake Hanka lies
mostly in Siberia but juts out into
Manchukuoan territory.
The Russians. the foreign office
said, fired ON the japanese. The
japanese, a spokesman said, re-
ouested that the Russians cease
firing. The firing continued, it
was asserted, and the japanese re-
piled, killing one Russian soldier
who was buried respectfully. The
burial feature, it was noted, woulc
tend to confirm the story that the
clash occurred on japanese soil.
Gen. Jiro Minami, ambassador 10
Manchukuo and commander of the
japanese army in Manchukuo, pro-
tested June 10 the Russian con :
sui at Harbin, the foreign office
said, complaining both that Man
chukuoan soil was invaded and that
the Russians fired first.
The Russian counter-protest, it
was added, was received yesterday.

Learning that two of the Weyer-

convicts, President Roosevelt called
for a tightening of the parole sys-
ten.
In telegram to Attorney Gener-
al Homer S. Cummings, Mr.. Roose-
veIt suggested that a way should be
found to prevent abuses of the pa
role system.
His message follows:
newspapers report long criminal
record in case of two men definite
ly suspected of WeyerhaeuSer kid
naping including not only arrests
and convictions, but also paroles.
Every decent citizen is interested in
humane parole systems which seek
rehabilitation Of offenders but at
same time We should seek to pre-
vent abuses of parole especially III
cases OF habitual criminals; there
fore, I am glad that you are having
a special study made of these two
cases investigating all facts relat-
ing to their previous records in ev-
cry jurisdiction where they have
been appreherded or paroled."

Rose spoke both to the board and
spectators on the repeal of the
property qualification act and ask
ed that this act be repealed by the
state legislature before it adjourns
for the present session. He stated
that this act stands to prevent peo-
pie of the valley from securing
necessary funds from the govern
ment to carry on the proposed ALL

program.
Morrow stated that the property
qualification act had been passed
by the state legislature to prevent
election Irregularities, such, he said,
as had existed in former district
elections. He charged Rose with
having had voters moved from one
precinct to another in order to vote
at these elections.
This was emphatically denied by
Rose who countered with the state
ment that in his opinion the act
was endorsed by the power COM
