NEW YORK'S LEADER
Will Odell Take Control From
- Piatt?
WOULD MEAN PARTY v SPLIT
Each Knows Other's Power and Will
Prolmbly Respect" It Governor
31ny Succeed Bcpew an Senator
Presidential Aspirations.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington. Jan. 4. The relations between Sen
ator Piatt and Governor Odell, of New
York, hRve come in for a good deal of
discussion during the past few weeks.
The assertion is positively made that
Odell intends to take the leadership of
the New York Republicans away from
Piatt, in whom It has reposed for so many
years. How true this is no one can sny,
but the further declaration is positively
made In some papers that Odell has his
war paint on, and means business. Piatt
has been quoted several times to the ef
fect that Odell is entitled to the leader
ship "if he can take It." This much is
certain Piatt knows Odell's power, as
was shown at the State convention last
fall. In fact the strength of the Piatt
machine hsa been in the ehrcwd manage
ment which Odell has given it for many
years as chairman of the State commit
tee. Xot Muclt In It.
The fact is these two politicians are
not going to light very hard, because it
would mean a .split in the party. Piatt
has still immense strength throughout the
State, and .especially among the capitalistic
element in New York City. While Odell
might be able to wrest the management of
affaire from him, the probabilities are that
they will reach some middle basis of
agreement. Piatt will be the nominal lead
er, while Odell does the actual work.
Piatt will go to the Senate and Odell will
manage State affairs, and after the end
of his term he may succeed Depew In the
Senate. Odell of course has higher ambi
tions and is looking towards the Presi
dential nomination at some future time.
Piatt would probably rather have Odell
successful in these various ambitions than
almost any other man. Of course if the
fight is on in earnest, then he might
have different Ideas; but It looks very
much as If the contest was largely In
the newspapers rather than between these
two politicians that are struggling lor
control in New York.
Tlie Philadelphia Mayoralty.
A few men got together In Philadelphia
the other day and announced that Dis
trict Attorney Weaver would be nominated
and would accept the nomination for May
or of Philadelphia. We have heard of
boeslsm In other communities, but Tam
many never made any nominations in as
quiet a way as was this selection of
Weaver for Mayor of a great city. Dick
Croker never dictated more quietly the
selection of a candidate for Mayor of New
York than has the ring in Philadelphia in
this case of Weaver. No doubt the man
selected le a very good one. He has made
a pretty good record, and he ought to
be far more successful as Mayor than
Ashbrldge, whom he succeeds. The only
disagreeable feature about it is the fact
that two or three men can say who will
govern the third city in the land. Maohlne
politics has reached the acme of per
fection when this sort of a nomination can
bo made.
Aicnln the Xesrro Question-.
Considerable stress has been laid upon
the fact that James S. Clarkson, late Na
tional Committeeman of Iowa, and now a
Federal officeholder in New York City,
is devoting agreat deal of time to look
ing after conditions in the South. There
seems to he no question but what Clark
son Is looking after Southern delegates,
and the Southern delegates certainly need
looking after up to the time they cast
their votes for a Presidential candidate.
The Southern man in politics, outside of a
few districts, is simply a Federal office
man. The negroes are entirely such. Tlie
56th Congress saw the last negro in the
House, probably for many years to corns.
No negro was elected to the 57th Congress,
and none to the 5Sth. The black man as
an elective officeholder in the Nation Is
eliminated. His strong point seems to be
in office holding. The attempt to build up
a white Republican party in the. South
has been frustrated by the President de
claring that no color line, shall be drawn
in the matter of Federal patronage, and
he has shown his dislike for any such
organization by removing from office men
that were engaged In It. and filling their
places with negroes. The negro Repub
lican party In the South will never amount
to anything, and never accomplish any
thing, save at National conventions, wnere
the votes can be used, for it is not likely
that the negroes will ever control a State
again. The negro vote in border and
Northern States Is very important, how
ever, and statistics have recently been
published to show that Maryland, West
Virginia, Delaware, New York, Indiana
and some other States contain enough ne
gro votes to change the result In those
States, should they be cast against In
stead of for the Republican nartv. Tn
Maryland the negro vote is not cast under
the present Gorman law to any great ex
tent, although those who do vote generally
vote the ReDUbliean tlrkpt. Tn nMawsr
the negro vote has cut a considerable fig
ure, and is a part of the corruption which
has made that State infamous. A number
of Congressional districts would no doubt
have gone Democratic if the negro vote
had been cast for the Democrats, and
based upon the statistics produced the
elimination of the negro vote in a. number
of States would possibly have made the
next House Democratic, or at least much
closer. At the same time the colored vote
is growing to be less and less a factor
in the actual voting strength of the coun
try, but it is an important vote at Na
tional conventions.
Cuban Treaty LcRlKlntloji.
It is no longer probable that there will
be a contest between the Senate and
House over the question of whether the
Irwer body shall have an opportunity to
pass on the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
There has been considerable friction be
tween the two houses on this subject,
the Senate and the President holding that
they were the treaty-making power, and
that the House should have no hand in
ratifying a treaty. The House claimed
that under the Constitution all revenue
legislation had to originate in the House,
and further claimed that the Cuban treaty
was nothing more nor less than a reve
nue measure; therefore the House had a
right to pass upon it. Under the compro
mise plan, which has the approval of the
President, the Senate alone will deal with
the Cuban treaty and ratify it. As soon
as this Is done the President will sena a
special message to both branches of Con
gress, announcing the ratification of the
treaty and asking Congress to pass sup
plementary legislation to carry out the
provisions of the treaty. Such legislation
will originate in the House, ns it afreets
the revenues. It has been demonstrated
to the committee of the House that the
treaty Is not really legislation, but that
the subsequent action to be asked for by
the President comes within that classi
fication. Chinese Exclnnlon.
Secretary Shaw has asked Congress for
authority to apply the Bertillon system of
measurement to all Chinese who 'go back
to China from the United States, and
who are granted authority to return to
this country within the stipulated time.
He finds, or rather the exclusion authori
ties report, that the present system of
identification by photograph is not 'ade
quate, as there Is a jgreat similarity
among Mongolians not readily detected by
the American authorities. Under the pre-
vailing practice many Chinamen return to
their native land, decide that they will
not come back to the United States, and
then sell their identification papers to an
agent or a coolie direct. So closely does
the description of one fit the other that
many of the restricted class are believed
to be admitted to this country every year
In this way. The Secretary blleves that
If the system of measurement now applied
by the police to all criminals was adopted
with regard to Chinese, fraudulent
cases could be readily detected. In fact.
It is believed a good purpose would be
served if all Chinese In the country were
required to submit themselves to meas
urement by the Bertillon system for their
more adequate identification. It is quite
possible that the first request may be
granted, and possibly the suggestion as a
whole will be adopted.
A prominent commercial and mining ex
pert of Mexico, when In Washington the
other day, predicted that sooner or later
the Republic of Mexico must get on a
gold basis. "There Is much diversity of
opinion regarding any change from the
present financial system," said he. "The
mining and smelting people and the plant
ers do not want to see sih'er superseded;
the railroad corporations and high gov
ernment officials would prefer the gold
basis. The employers of labor In the
mines and mills and on the farms are op
posed to any change, because they would
have to pay more to their workmen. The
railroads and the government have tc
meet interest obligations in gold, and their
revenues do not pan out when silver keeps
falling, as It has of late. There has been
a loss of 10 per cent In that metal within a
year, and further decline seems inevit
able." Rural f reo delivers Is doing more for the
business interests of the country than
any other branch of the postal service at
this time. And solely because it is to the
advantage of the Government that this
assistance shall be lent to commercial
companies, as the sen-ice In return re
ceives a corresponding benefit derived
from increased postal revenue. Since
many fourth-class postofflces havo been
superseded by rural free delivery, mer
chants In the larger cities. Instead of
writing to Postmasters for the names of
patrons of their offices to whom they can
send advertisements, have been enabled,
under an order of the department, to pro
cure from all postofflces from which rural
routes start a full list of all persons served
on such routes. These lists are official,
and therefore correct. Under this ar
rangement merchants are sending more
advertising through the mall to rural dis
tricts than ever before, and there has
been a corresponding increase in merchan
dise sent by mail, from all of which the
Government benefits by Increased reve
nues from stamp sales.
AN IRISH LAND REPORT.
Recommend Settlement Between
Owners and Occupiers.
LONDON. Jan. 4. The Irish land con
ference issued a voluminous report of Its
deliberations in which It is declared that
the only satisfactory settlement of the
existing land question is the substitution
of an occupying proprietary ownership of
land for tlie existing dual ownership. As
the process of direct state Interference
in purchase and resale would be generally
tedious and unsatisfactory, except where
'owners or half occuplors so desire, and
except in those districts under the con
gested districts board, the report rec
ommends that the settlement should be
made between tlie owner and the occu
pier subject to the necessary investiga
tion by the state as to title, rent and se
curity. The report emphasizes the desirability
of inducing landlords to continue to reside
in Ireland and with this purpose in view
it says an equitable price should be paid
to owners, based upon income, and that
provision ought to be made for the resale
to owners of mansion houses and de
mesnes. The purchase price should either
be assurance by the state of such income,
or the" payment of a capital sum produc
ing it, at 3 per cent or 3Vi per cent. If
guaranteed by the state tenants' repay
ments should be expended for a term of
years, securing a reduction of 15 to 25 per
cent on rents. To do this may Involve
some assurance from the state beyond the
use of its credit and the report considers
that such assistance would be justified
fully !n the future welfare of Ireland and
the settlement of this vexed problem.
The report offers no definite financial
proposition but it considers that an un
exampled opportunity exists at the pres
ent moment to deal with this question
successfully. It declares also that the so
lution of the land question should he ac
companied by a settlement of the evicted
tenants' question under an equitable basis.
Captain Shawe-Taylor, secretary of the
conference, left here today for the United
States on board the Cunard line steamer
Ivernla. He soes to America to ascer
tain the views of President Roosevelt and
other prominent Americans on the land
question. In an Interview before leaving
Captain Shawe-Taylor said:
"The government now for the first time
has before it a practical solution of this
question acceptable to both land owners
and occupiers and it would- be a national
calamity if, while a truce exists between
the two parties, this unique opportunity
is allowed to pass."
London Papers Indorse It.
IXJNDON, Jan. 5. The report; of the
Irish land conference Is met on all sides
this morning as an encouraging docu
ment, as indicating that the problem is
ripe for solution. It also Is said to give
valuable suggestions to Chief Secretary
for Ireland Wyndham for the projected
land bill. The government organs, while
pointing out that the conference does not
represent many of the great landlordi.
commend the tone and the disposition of
the conference as revealed in Its report
ns very hopeful for the future of Ireland.
These papers contend that the report In
volves the complete repudiation of -the
whole Gladstonian policy of land, namely,
dual ownership.
FREXCII SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.
There Was No Excitement Mlnlate
rlal Mnjority Strenfjtliened.
PARIS, Jan. 4. Senatorial elections
were held today In S4 departments of
France, Algeria and in the Colonies of La
Reunion and Guadaloupe to select 9S Sen
ators, of whom 94. will fill seats tlie
terms of whose occupants have consti
tutionally expired, while the other four
will fill vacancies caused by deaths. The
elections passed off without incident. The
results have confirmed the general ex-
twfttlnn . that thft Ministerial mninrlM. i..
the upper house will be strengthened. Tno
Conservatives have elected five Pro
gressive Republicans, the Liberals have
elected 25 Republicans, IS Radicals and 34
Radical Socialists.
Final returns from some seats In
France and the colonies have not been
received. Premier Combes has been re
elected from the Departmnt of Charant
Inferieure He also was returned from
Corca. where he was only nominated Sat
urday. Finance Minister Rouvler was
elected in the Department of Alps-Marl-times.
He thus passes from the Chamber
of Deputies to the Senate. M. Combes
and M. Rouvler are the only two Minis
ters who were candidates. The only other
noteworthy result of the elections was
the defeat of ex-MInlster of Foreign Af
fairs., Hanotaux. in the Department of
Alsne. Of the candidates elected today,
SS already were members of the Senate;
the others are Deputies, ex-Deputies or
new men.
The Ministry of the Interior assorts that

NEW RAILROAD TRACKS

0548 MILES.
Larger Than Any Previous Year
Since 1S90 Pew Rondit Embar
rassed New Rolling Stoclc.
CHICAGO, Jan. 4. Six months ago.when
the Railway Age published Its summary
of railroad-building for the first half of
1992. It appeared evident that the new
mileage for the entire year would' exceed
G000 miles, but the Incessant rains during
July and August, and In some portions
of the country during September and Oc
tober, seriously Interfered with grading
and tracklaylng, and the delays thus en
countered, coupled with the difficulty so
widely experlencca ot securing rails, nave
prevented the realization of our expecta
tions. However, the new mileage com
pleted during 1002 exceeds that of 1501,
when 5222 miles of track were laid, and
is greater than that of any year since
1SD0, when 5C70 mlJes were built. The re
turns for the year just ended are still In
complete, and when they are all received
it is quite possible that the figures for 1S90
will be eclipsed. As the record stands to
day, It shows a total of 5519 miles of track
laid on 341) lines In 44 states and territories
from January 1 to December 31. 1502, ex
clusive of second track and sidings and
without taking Into consideration many
private lines and logging roads which
have been built for temporary use. The
details are shown In the following table,

The year closes with tracklaylng In prog
ress or just about to begin on many ex
tensions which managers confidently ex
pected to havo completed by this time,
and the first few months of the year
therefore will show large additions to the
railway mileage of the country.
The greater part of the work of the
past year has been carried on by the largo
systems, which continue to build branch
lines Into new and undeveloped territory,
and there has been little parallel building,
one notable exception being the Chicago
Great Western, which has completed 66V
miles of Its 130-mIIe extension from Fort
Dodge, la., to Omaha. The Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific system. Including- the
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf and other ac
quired lines, has expanded most by con
struction, and has added 626 miles in
Oklahoma, Indian Territory, New Mexico,
Texas, Missouri and Arkansas. The St.
Louis & San Francisco and allied lines
have built 609 miles In Missouri, Arkansas,
Texas, Indian Territory and Oklahoma,
and the Santa Fe system has completed
1S5 miles in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas,
Indian Territory and Oklahoma. Some of
the other large systems have built new
lines as follows: Great Northern, 194 miles
in Minnesota, North Dakota and Wash
ington, not counting the extensions built
In Canada; the Southern Pacific, 165 miles
in Louisiana, Texas, Nevada, California
and Utah; International &. Great North
ern, 129 miles in Texas; Chicago Great
Western, 112 miles In Minnesota and Iowa,
Chicago & Northwestern, Including the
Chicago, SC Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
and the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val
ley, 173 miles in Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Nebraska and South Dakota; Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul, 95 miles in Iowa,
Minnesota, North Dakota and South Da
kota; Illinois Central, 74 miles In Missis
sippi, Kentucky and Illinois; Missouri,
Kansas & Texas, SO miles in Kansas,
Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Missouri;
Texas & Pacific, 63 miles In Louisiana;
Missouri Pacific, 137 miles in Louisiana,
Missouri and Arkansas; Oregon Short
Line, 58 miles in Utah.
Important new lines which do not seem
to be Identified with any of the great sys
tems havo laid track as follows: El Paso
& Southwestern, 161 miles In New Mexico,
Arizona and Texas; Ozark and Cherokee
Central, 132 miles in Arkansas and Indian
Territory; Fort Smith & Western, 56 miles
in Indian Territory: St. Louis Valley, 100
miles In Illinois; Iowa & St. Louis, 60
miles in Iowa and Missouri; Des Moines,
Iowa Falls & Northern, 53 miles In Iowa.
The two important independent lines
which have a large projected mileage each
the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
and the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient
have accomplished but little In the way of
tracklaylng, the former having completed
but 31 miles in California, and the latter
but 40 miles In Kansas and Oklahoma and
2S miles In Mexico. However, the Orient
lino has finished a large percentage of Its
grading, and proposes to push the work of
tracklaylng early In the year.
The main line mileage of the United
States at the close of 1501 was 19S.7S7 miles,
and the addition of the 5549 miles com
pleted In 1902 brings the total mileage of
the country up to 201,336 miles on January
1, 1903.
Receiverships and Foreclosures.
The low-water mark of railway bank
ruptcies, which was reached In 1&0L when
only four receivers were appointed, has
scarcely been raised during the past year.
only five companies being placed under
receivership on account of Insolvency In
1902, and these succumbing to difficulties
of long standing. No road of any Import
ance has failed to meet Its obligations.
The little New York & Pennsylvania. 53
miles, was put through the. reorganizing
processes of receivership and foreclosure
In three months, with great financial Im
provement; the Chicago & Southwestern,
which had been In a chronic state of lm
pecunloslty for years, has been bought by
a strong company and placed under a re
ceiver for the purpose of straightening out
the title; and the three other little' roads

New York Sun.
In Bay Adam, an inlet of the Gulf on
the lower coast of Louisiana, they think
thei- have caught the real original roon-
I ster Octopus and Head Devil Fish. The
Hon. William A. Wenck and a party were
fishing from an electric launch the other
day. Mr. Howe, of St. Louis, a guest of
Mr. Wenck, had his line rigged for tarpon.
There came from the deep a pull on that
line as If leviathan and behemoth were
having a tug-of-wir. Mr. Wenck sprang
to Mr. Howe's relief. After a fierce strug

given by the New Orleans lcthyologlsts
we compile an inventory -of this bathblan

fish were founa 3pitted to this sting or
dagger, as liver and bacon is spitted with
a stick. It Is presumed that the monster
was keeping them there until he became
hungry enough to eat them, for he really
did not bite on the line, but? was hooked
by accident In the top of the head."
The tongue was "three inches long, as
hard as flint and fitted against a similar
hard substance in the upper part of the
mouth." Thus this Turtlcbat "ground fish
or oysters Into line fragments." By the
commotion of tho motion of the compress
of the upper jaw and tongue he scares the
little fish until they can't move and be

the theory of spmc scientists. The weight
of this maximlliiry motor Is 100 pounds.

that the mysterious entity which we have
so far called the turtlcbat Is not a devil

but by Pliny, who describes him as a na
