Stranjte as it may eeem the Republican leaders are pleaded because Woodruff is keepinjc up his fight. Some of them In timate that it alfo pleases President Roosevelt. It is desirable that there should be the form of a contest for the rratorehip. to keep up appearances, and if Woodruff will continue to run around the stase and utter loud cries, the people may believe that the whole matter is not cut and dried. but misMy little assistance. The biR men In the organisation realize mat the state chairman t&-H1 he Rtitet m fkH u t the proper moment, and they do not care to involve themselves in a losing campaign. "Why. the Preeldent hasn t even told Tim yet," said one leader today. "When the time comes it will be about like this: Monday. Little Tim lunches at the White House. Tuesday Little Tim gives out a statement in New York saying that it la him support for Senator, but that Klihu Root or Joseph H. Choate was really n original choice, and he congratulates the people of the state on the opportunity to honor Mr. Root or Mr. Choate, or who ever the man may be." Woodruff's Strength Weak..

He Is loyal to Woodruff, but thoroughly realties that the state chairman Is en gaged In a battle that Is bound to end in defeat. ,, . "Woodruff is our county leader. he said "and everv Brooklyn member-elect has pledged him hie vote. It la the pmPfr .A -i I KalHe 1 for OT WOUla miMK i be glad to see him elected Senator. "Woodruff has woritea eariy aim for the party. He has spent his wf and devoted many days of his valuable time to building up the organisation. "Not even his worst enemies have hint ed that he makes a cent out of politics. He Is a rich man. and has made hla mil lions himself, and made them J;0""'' 1 understand that politics cost hlra J1O0. 000 a year. ... m "Why shouldn't he be rewarded with a seat in the Senate? Tim is a successful business man. Just the kind we need In public life. If the wishes of the rank and file, the men who do the real worn, were consulted. Woodruff would have a big majority. , , . "But I know the cards are stacked against him. For my part I will stand by Tim as long as he wants me, but mere whisper from Washington would split our Kings County delegation in half. "The reason? Well. Roosevelt has never lost a political fight, and President Taft will have a lot of patronage to distrib ute during the coming In politics a man has to look out for himself." Bs-Governor Black has no expectation of landing the prize. He realises that even if the majority of the legislators oppose Root they will get in line when the bell sounds. Black Guessed Right. Before the last state convention. Black announced that he favored the renoml nation of Governor Hughes. When he reached Saratoga the other leaders found fault with him because he refused to join In their fight on the Executive. "You will not fool me this time," was Black's smillrur reply. "I am for Hughes, and you fellows will be for Hughes in the end. because the bell will ring from Oyster Bay. You are not for Hughes, but It will be necessary for you to take your medicine, and I will have the pleasure of watching you." And he did. Black is making his battle on a long chance, and he admits that the prospects are much against him. Here is the Inside Black view of it. "If Woodruff Is really fighting mad. and can hold enough men in line with what we have to make a majority. Black may win. For Woodruff may throw his votes to us. to 'get even" with Roosevelt. The probabilities are that Roosevelt will knuckle down in the end. He always does." As a matter of history, it might be In teresting to recount Woodruff's political failures. He was elected Lieutenant-Governor in and served three terms of two years each. In 1900 he blossomed out as a candidate for Vice-President, but de spite campaign buttons and an official headquarters, his name was not present ed. Roosevelt, then Governor, was nomi nated, and Woodruff expected to be pro moted. The Vice-Presidential boom was transferred into a Gubernatorial boom, but the only result was a third term as Lieutenant Governor. Four yeans later Woodruff carried the fight Into the convention, but was bowled over by Hijtglns. The following year he wanted Denew's seat In the United States Senate, but didn't get It. In 190S- Woodruff supported Lieutenant Governor Bruce for promotion. but Hiurhes carried off the prize. He opposed Presidential Instructions for Hughes thia year up to the time the delegates met. Similarly he fought the Governor's nomi nation "last September, but got In line when the roll was called. It will thus be seen that Woodruff and defeat are old friends. Root d.-clares he is a candidate. The Union league Club has unani mously indorsed the Secretary of State. Joseph H. Choate made a speech in his favor, and a number of members went on record as saying that Choate would make fully as strong a candidate as Root, and that thora waa litUa to choos be , twtea them. ASKS SI, II 0 0,0 00 FOR CELILLI WORK Chief Also Recommends $450, 000 for Dredging at Co lumbia's Mouth. OTHER POINTS INCLUDED Willamette. Coos Bay, Tillamook and Other Oregon and Washington Streams and Harbors to Be Provided For. WASHINGTON". D. C. N'ov. 18. The annual report of. the Chief of Army En gineers, made public today, recommends a liberal appropriation for the water ways of the Pacific Northwest, and these estimates will form the basie of appro priations to be made In the forthcoming river and harbor bill. Among the appro priations recommended are the following: Columbia and Willamette Rivers fiom Portland to the sea, J200.000; mouth of Columbia, t450.X; Celilo Canal, 1,000,000 in addition to $146,000, which was author ized last session; Willamette River above Portland, J40.000; Columbia between Vancouver and the mouth of the Willam ette. $10,000: canal of Cascades. $108,000: Columbia River between Celllo Falls and the mouth of the Snake River. J75.O0O; Snake River, J10.000; Tillamook Har bor to Tillamook City. $15,000; Coos River; $1500: Clatekanine River, $500: Cowltts and Lewis Rivers," $7500. The Chief of Engineers says It Is advisable to place the Celllo canal under a continu ing contract system, with the under standing that $1,000,000 he appropriated annually until work is completed. If this cannot be done, at least $1,000,000 In new appropriations is necessary next year to enable work to proceed expeditiously. He calls attention to the fact that the Improvement of the channel from Port land to the sea, as it is now progressing. Is necessarily of a temporary character, and no lasting benefit is being received from dredging. Ultimately this channel will be permanently improved by the con struction of an elaborate system of re vetments to confine the channel. While expensive work Is in progress at the mouth of the Columbia and at Celllo, he deems it inadvisable to ask for sufficient money to build these revetments now, especially as continued dredging afforded a sufficient channel for present com merce. In addition to the foregoing es timate, it is recommended that an an nual appropriation be made for maintain ing the dredge, recently built for-use In the Harbors along the Oregon and Wash ington Coast. General W. -L. Marshall. Chief of En gineers, U. S. A., also makes a strong; appeal for an increase In the corps of engineers. Among other Improvements of rivers and harbors for which an estimate Is made for the next fiscal year are the following: California San Pedro Bay. $100. 100; San Luis Obispo harbor, $100,000; Oak land, $521,000. Washington Grays Harbor, $100,000; Puget Sound. $130.ftOX Hawaii. Honolulu harbor, $500,000; harbor at Hilo. $600,000. Porto Rico San Juan, $350,000. .

General Marshall says that while the number of officers Is decreasing, the re verse is triu of the work. The Chief of Engineers submits esti mates of appropriations for the fiscal year 1fe-10 for fortifications. aggregating $7,732,233. Included in this amount are the following: Money for Batteries. Seaooast batteries, Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. $449,000: Manila, $2,39,000; Install ation of electric plants.

Hale Says Tariff Revision Will Be Readjustment. SLAUGHTER NO INTERESTS THEN SALLIE WENT HOME Parents' Blessing Ends Elopement of Heir and Southern Beauty. CHICAGO, Nov. 18. A son of a Pitts burg millionaire and a girl known in the South for beauty, eloped from the Pennsylvania city, were married in Dixie land and came to Chicago yesterday to break the news to the young man's parents over the long-diistance telephone. This they did last night, and after re ceiving the parental blessing the hus band. William B. Scaife, heir of C. C. Scalfe, was told by his mother to "bring Sallie home." Sallie is the former Miss Sallie Hill, of Bolivar. Tenn. The tele phoning was done-from the Auditorium Annex, where the couple registered. The marriage is an alliance of Pitts burg millions with one of the "old fam ilies of the South," for Miss Hill Is the youngest daughter of Colonel Jerome Hill, of Tennessee. According to the telegraphic Information from Pittsburg, the couple were married yesterday at Bolivar. Tenn., by Bishop Gaylor. The wedding is another chapter of the sensational production of "Pirates of Penzance" last June by the sons and daughters of wealthy Pittsburg men. The wealth of the families whose children were represented in this play given for charity was roughly1 estimated at $500, 000,000, and the performers were referred to as "The billion-dollar chorus." Both Miss Hill and Young Scaife were mem bers of the chorus. The girl, who was visiting her sister, Mrs. W. S. Kuhn. of Pittsburg, was pressed into the front row of this chorus by eager young Pittsburgers because of her rare beauty. It was while at re hearsal that Scaife met her. May Reorganize A. Booth & Co. CHICAGO, Nov. 18. The .Booth family and other stockholders in A. Booth & Company, are trying to raise $600,000 cash necessary to re-organize the company. Nearly 60 per cent is favorable and an underwriting syndicate may take care of assessments on minority stockholders who are unwilling to pay. The floating debt is $5,800,000 and the assets, if sold, are estimated at only $1,750,000. Target Record Broken. MANILA, Nov. 18. It is unofficially stated that the battleship Nebraska, dur ing the target practice now In progress, broke all records established -by any navy In the world for marksmanship with her 12-inch guns. While the figures are not obtainable, it is believed that the Nebraska's crew will gain all reo--orda for both, speed and accuracy. Nothing Bone Till Extra Session. Monetary Commission's Report Not Ready, but Much Informa tion Gained on Trip Abroad. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. Senator Hale does not anticipate any effort to change the tariff law during the present session of Congress. "Once In a while," he said today, "you will hear such a suggestion, but it is clearly out of the question, and it will not be undertaken, and," he added, "it is safe to say there will not be any radical changes when the most-talked-of revision is made. "Recent events have made it certain that there will be no slaughtering of interests. Necessarily there will be some alterations, some readjustments, but no general tearing down and build ing up. It is clear that the country does not expect nor court such a course, and Congress will not enter upon it." "We learned a number of Interesting facts during our visit to Europe last Summer, and have done much work in this country," he said, "but it will nec essarily be some time before we shall be in posltien to make any definite sug gestions for the modification of the monetary system of the United States. It is a big subject and will require careful attention. It is possible that we may ask to have some changes in the law regulating the inspecting of banks, but, if that is done, it will be merely incidental." "The Senator's return has revived the suggestion so frequently heard since Senator Allison's death, that he (Mr. Hale) will succeed Mr. Allison as chair man of the Senate committee on appro priations, but he was evidently not In clined to look with favor upon it. He would only say that there would be plenty of time to settle that question after Congress meets three weeks hence.
