He is a close observer and has covered a lege part ..t the - I'nited States already. He finds cv crvwhero that Mr. Taft is runniug way ahead of his field and will unquestion ably win the nomination unless Jioose vclt is forced into tho race. "I find that the buisness interests of tho smith, from Maryland to Texas, through which territory I have just como, are very strong for Roosevelt," said Mr. Hemmingway. "They aro pos itive in their declarations for another term nnd many of the lending business men are inemorinlitfing Mr. Roosevelt to induce him to accept tho nomina tion. Politicians in the south aro for Bryan and the southern farmers gener ally are for the democratic candidate. "The negro vote, both in the smith and north, is questionable. 1 find that there is some feeling nmoug the col ored people against tho administration ou account of the Brownsville incident. Just how effective this feeling will be against Mr. Roosevelt, should he ac cept the nomination, is problematical." REAL ESTATE TBANSFEBS. WASHINGTON, March 4. Comman der William II. Sims, naval aid to Pres ident Roosevelt, by his own statemeut is responsible for the "row" over crit icisms of battleship construction. At the outset of his testimony before the senate committee on naval affairs he said he would have to go into unpleas ant facts, such as charging officers or inventors with having made misleading statements, the secretion of official documents and the refusal of superior officers to accept suggestions of value. The plan of Commander Sims to give the committee a sensation was iqwet immediately by Senntor Tillman, who suggested that the witness be instruct ed to confine his testimony to alleged faulty construction, anil to say not lung at this time of criticism made of per sonal or incomplete organization or other matters which are to bo taken up later. Tho commander ashed that he bo permitted to continue his statement without interruption and that the sen ators would not cross-exnniin' him until he had concluded his statement in his own way. His request was ignored. He got awav from the lino of inquiry again and again, and members of the committee called him back sharply.

The prosecution agrees, but says that it should be spelled "principal." Their only surprise is that Ruef did not ask for interest as well. In a suit filed Ruef asks that he be recompensed with $41)59.0.", the amount he was obliged to spend for the maintenance of his prison quarters at Pacific avenue and l-'iltnore street. He names as defend ants Judge Frank H. Dunne, Rudolph Spreekels. William TL Lnngdon, Wil liam J. Burns, Francis J. Heney nnd William J. Biggy, and asks the court to order these men to pay him the amount stated. A statement from lluef's camp con tained the announcement that the real nnrnose of the suit was not to obtain 'the monev. but. to show that until Jan- j uarv S, 100S, the prosecution had acted as though it regarded the immunity eon tract is still in force. It was added that should the court award the 4G.")9.9."i to Ruef. he would donate it to charity. The prosecution is inclined to regard this as another little joke on charitv. 10 350 CATALOG HOUSES ARE NOT MERCHANT TAILORS They drain the towns of mone aud neither ' givcthe fit, style nor distinction t" your clothes thatiyour own city tailor can.

Senator Bourne has carried his second elective term harrangue to such an extent that he is being ridiculed. The Washington Star has printed a clever cartoon, which fairly reflects the sentiment. The cartoon, labelled "The Xoiso of the Unbeliever," represents Mr. Bourne pa rading in front of the White House, shouting through a megaphone, "Sec ond Elective Term." while with his left hand he is adding to his clutter bv wielding an uiictioncer bell. From his campaign hat protrudes a flag in- T scribed, "Second Elective 'I erm. and from bis lapel hangs a big streamer bearing the same inscription. In the background the president is seen through the white house window, un mindful of Mr. Bourne's noise, reading with manifest satisfaction his election- WASHINGTON, March 4. The nom ination of (Irosvenor A. Porter, a cou sin of Mrs. Roosevelt, to be United States marshal for the eastern district of Oklahoma, will not be reported by the senate committee on judiciary. It. was decided to request the president to withdraw Hie nomination. Porter was a marshal under tne lerrnoriai lorni oi government nnd when named recently I for the state of Oklahoma, charges nfi I immorality and misconduct wore made.: I The committee investigated the charges, but decided upon the coursn mentioned: rather than make recommendations for the rejection of the nomination. This appointment and that of Jack : Abernathy, the wolf-catcher, for the western district, were personal selec-; t ions of Hie president.

Railroad men outside of the Hill lines are wor ried over the closing of the Portland gateway to passenger travel to the Pu get Sound cities. By the new order of things throngh tickets to Paget Sound are not sold in the east via Portland. Passengers who insist on coining thro' Portland must stop in their journey here, reeheek their baggage nnd pay the local fare to the sound cities.
