MONDAY EVENING. JPNE 22. 1908
Commoq kki'iikt around the capiol
In Washington does net give James P.
Sherman, candidate for vice-president,
praiae for patriotic or diaint?teated work
la any matter. He always has praised
Hoeoaevelt, yet Roosevelt never intrusted
him with anything connected with the
elocution of "my policies." In fact
Mr. Roosevelt never had anything to do
?with him except when it waa to hia own
interest, as in the case of the "My Dear
Mr. Sherman" ltttar, prepared for thc
undoing of Ha inman. Mr. Sherman
was chosen then because he wss chair?
man of the republican congressional
committee. Judged by the company he
has kept as a member of the House,
person*- who heard be was one of five
c ingressmen fr im New York who did not
pay their clerks all the salary tbey were
supposed t) i -ceive, were not at all
astonished. They simply thought it not
At all unlikely, because lhere is nothing
In the law reejui: :ng a congressman to pay
all the fl-*'? a month he receives for clerk
hire n one penon. It is all right for
him to pay a woman stenographer $.r>0 a
month and give the remainder t> an?
other clerk who, at the same time, may
be receiving par: of the clerk's allowance
from another member. Mr. She mian
never has been an open and avowed
friend ofthe railroads, but lr, with Mr.
Dalzell, constitutes a majority of the
committee on rules, which controls the
House aa absolutely as if it were a bit
eif chattel property.
Sixty delegates to the elemncratlc na?
tional convention were chosen during
the past week. Full State delegations
were elected furn Colorado, Mississippi
?nd Tennessee and six delegates were
chosen at a second primary in Florida,
the other four having been elected at
the May primary. Ol the sixty delegates
selected Ibm week fi;if nine are for
Bryan and one la uncommitted. The
call for the national convention fixed its
membership at 1,002, the Philippines be?
ing excluded from representation. Six
Philippine delegates have been chosen,
however, and will apply for admission.
Billy-lour delegates a re still to be chosen
/rom tbe four Mites of Ueoii-ria, North
Carolina, Vermont and Montana.
Oeoriria's delegation may le divided,
but Montana and North Cai lina are
likely to support Mr. Bryan. Of Ihe
93H delegates sj br elected 121 are in
?tructtd for Mr. Bryan or committed t >
bia support by resolut' ons of preference
or public announcement >. Twenty-two
are for Johnson, ll are tot dray and 17S
?re uncommitted. Mr. Bryan ha* the
support of 77.5 per cent of the delegate
ao far elected, and according to these
figures, will have a walkover on the fir-it
ballot at Denver. All talk to the ellect
that he will not secure thc nomination
on the first ballot seems to vanish in the
lace of these figures, lt would not be
-surprising if Mr. Bryan's name were the
only one preaented at Denver.
Mu. Thomas Lawbow. to keep him
?self before the public has, published a
itt'.er in which he asks Mr. Bryan to
"say the word that will result in the
nomination of Oov. Johnson, of Minne?
sota, for president on tbe democratic
ticket, and to accept tho nomination foi
?vice president himself." Mr. Lawson |
offers lo raise |600,000 to defray tho
campaign expenses of Qa?, Johnson,
and says ll that is nt.t sufficient he will
guarantee auother half million. Mr.
Lawson is a foin flusher and can not be
?relied upon. For some time paM he
bas been advertising his advice and
profiting fnm those who were silly
enough to take it.
A m*~PA n ji *>ent out from Chicago
last Thursday stat-d that thc presidential
candidate would be permitted to name
his running mat j if he so desired aud
added:
No sooner had the coomt'on ld*
journed today timi Mr. raft's ltniiudiate
aappe-rtera set lo wuk 11 Meei I tin his
winne* r?gaiding a candidatJ for the
flee presidency. They wired him direct
?aad pending his reply refused lo voice
?ny opinion as to the pi ibable outcome
?of the balloting. As a rule, the Tait
men manifested awillingnesatj abide by
the secretary's wishes, but there were
these among them who took the posi?
tion tbat the delegat -* should be per
?mitttd tn cast their votes accor.iin*. to
?their own predilections.
But it was not intended that they
?honld. They were not sent to Chicago
to exercise their own judgment but to
obev orders,

Mk. Bryan eleclares the republicacs
hsve deserted seven ijuestions of i ie day
urged by President Roosevelt or Con?
gress; that the par.'y is 'in lull retreat,"
?od that President Roosevelt haa ac?
quiesced in the "turning back." All
of this is true, but theia should be no
surprise in the "tnraing back" of Mr.
Roosevelt. He is one of the many who
does not believe that a motlern politician
nan sflord lo be consistent!
If ? resident of Marshfield, Wis., is

From Washington.
'Correspondence of the Alexandria Oaaette.1
Washington, June 22.
Within a lew days Washington will
feel afar the tremor of the political up?
heaval which threatens to interrupt the
peaceful work of the canal diggers of
i'mania. Sent r Mejia Halvadore, tbe
new minUter, will strive and Senor
Arango, the present minister of Panama,
will depart. Behind the change lies a
story. It is evident t.iaC President Am?
ador who is striving to elect his candi?
date, A Mas, doea not like tbe result of
Senor Arango's labor*?the crowding of
marines on the hthmus. While tbe
Chicago convention was at its height he
lurked in the shadows of Secretay Taft's
office waiting to drop a word of alarm
and ask for another draft of marines CI
another warship or two. Occasionally
he remarked that if Obaldia was not
elected there would be a revolution
which would upset things on the canal.
In the meantime President Amador kept
tbe cables he.t with menai .gen of peace
and serenity. Therefore tbe change.
Stnor Salvatore is on his way to Wash?
ington. When he arrives he is expect?
ed to supplement the melanges of peace
snd paint word pictures of the quiet pn
? lection days in Panama. In me mean?
time the canal authentic* are wat .bing
tt r themaelves.
Capt lin A. Reynolds, who has been
a navy representative in connection with
warship conetruction at tbe Newport
News "-hipbuilding and Drydock Com?
pany, bas boen assignee! to command
ihe armored r raiser Mon Una when
placed in commission. The Montana
will be tinned over to the government
nt the Norfolk navy yard July 15.
The Weather Bureau issued the fol?
lowing special fe recMt at noon today :
'The warm wave that now covers the
conni ry generally east of the Rocky
mount tics will break over the plains
states Tuesday, over the Mississippi val?
ley and the western lake region Wednes?
day, in the Ohio valley aod eastern lake
region Wednesday night, and in the At?
lantic states Thursday. Local rains and
thunderstorms will attend the advent of
the cooler weather in tbe several sec?
tions named. Moderate temperature
will be experienced over tbe eastern por?
tion of the country during the ^closing
days of the week."
A force of stenographers and clerks
are working in Secretary Taft's office
?ai.ting replies to the thousands of mes?
sages that bave been received. The
Hood of telegrams is spent but nearly a
thousand letters are coming in every clay
with a prospeet of a still greater number
within the next week. It Secretary Taft
is physically ee.ual ta the task he will
sign the several thousand messages now
awaiting him on bis return to tae office.
Mi-. Taft is al-i being engulfed with
letiers, but upou her departure yester?
day she gave directions t-iat they must
not be touched until her return. She
will, if possible, reply to all ol them
personally. Letters of congratulations
were received this morning in the secre?
tary's office from Mrs. Harrison and
Mrs. Garfield, tbe widows of tbe former
presdeuts. Hundreds of letters come
ir un business men throughout the coun
and their chief characteristic ia a
tone of hopefulness at tbe secretary's
nomination.
A determined war against the present
railroad rites on phosphate rock has

bitant and unreasonable rate for the
transportation of phosphate from Ten?
nessee to middle western points and dis?
criminating against them.
So widespread has become the fata!
accidents on Fourth of July that tbe
federal government will endeavor to re?
duce the numb.r of denis. Surgeon
Oeneral Wyman of tbe Marine Hospital
and Public Health Service today issued
a circular giving ins (.-.it tion* a* to the
Irealineut of Fourth of July injuries.
He says that during the last five years,
there have been 786 esses of tetanus, or
lock-jaw, as the result of the gunpowder
celebration of the national holiday, and
of this number 721 died. Dr. Wyman
suggests tbe injuries be Heated in thia
way: "Incise freely every wound.
Carefully and throughly remove from
the wound every particle of foreign mat?
ter. Cauterize the wound throughly
with 25 per cent carbolic acid. Apply
loosely a wet pack of 2. J per cent car?
bolic acid, giveafull dose of autiteu

Seven persons were painfully injured
and a dozen or more sustained cut-t and
bruises as the result of a trolley wreck
yesterday evening, when a loaded car
crashed into an open switch ou the
Funket ?wn line, just outside of Hagers
town, Md.
Should Secretary Taft become the next
president of tbe United States the coun?
try wil! again see the executive family
divided io religious views, as ia the
Roosevelt csse. Both Mrs. Tait and
Mra. Roosevelt are communicants of St.
John's Episcopal Church; the present
president worships at the Dutch R-foi med
Church, and Secretary Tait ia a regular
ait -ndantat All Sonia' Unitarian Church.
Two tiuriog cars, one big and swift,
the other a medeet li;tie one, collided
with each ether in a blinding cloud of
du9t near Hemp.) ai on Long I-dan.,
about 0 o'clock yesterday evening. {
Joseph X. Araosemena, of New Ro?
chelle, owner of the little ear, died of a
fractured skull an hour later. His wife,
two children, and chafleur, Aroaemena's
companions in the esr, got off' with
I ruisca. All the five persons in the big
car were hurt; three ol them are at the
hospital.
Tatt and Shermso, the republican can?
didates, heel a conference at the home ot
Ba > tar/ Taft's brother, in Cincinnati,
Satnrday, with tbe sub-committee of tbe
republican national committee and post?
poned the (.election of a national chair?
man. Frank H. Hitchcock, who man?
aged the preliminary campaign of the
wsr secrete ry ht Washington, might
have had the chairmanship. At the last
moment he declined to permit the use
of his name because of the condition of
his health.
It is estimated that f-oo.mhi people
participated in or viewed Ibe suil.gette
demonistrations in Hyde Park, London,
yesterday. Encouraged by previous
achievement-., the suiliagettes plsnned
the demonstration as a climax of
the year's fight for women au tl rage, and
perhaps never before was such a polit?
ical demonstration seen in London.
Probably lhere were about 20 speskers,
aud these harangued tbe masses on the
right of women to vote and the necessity
of force in parliament to adopt a resolu?
tion on tbe question. The au tude of
the onlookers was one of amused
tolerance. Considerable acullling and
rowdyism occurred around the platform
occupied by Mrs. Parkhurst, the lesder
of the suffragettes, and it finally became
so serious as to call for police reinforce?
ments. Thirty persons were treated for
slight injuries ss a result of the crowding
snd fighting. Similar scenes were en?
acted around Mrs. Haitel's platform.
