Zi - If the plans of Theodore Roosevelt go not astray, the next Re publican National wrnt!oo. which will assemble in the S-raimfr of U1X will tender the Presidential nomination to the pn!y living ex-President and w!ll ln1st cpon his acceptance. Tb's, and a great Caal more concerning the political alma and purposes of the Colonel, waa learned -jr!ng Ms recent visit to Washington. tut his Intimate friends with wnorn ho talked hare been loath to dlacusa what they learned In mora or lees confidence. Colonel rtoosevelt has nerer. so far as known, sail to any man that he la a candidate for renomlnatlon. nor has he admitted In so many words that he would n-.-ept the nomination If It were tendered xilm. Yet he haa spoken with character istic frankness In a way which left his friends In no doubt whatever as to nl true attitude, and that attitude Ii stated; ha wants another nomination. and he will accept It If tendered, but he will not openly become a candidate. Resnlt Aot Disappointment. Fnblle analysis of the recent elections, and particularly that In New York State. was something the) Colonel studiously voided, nor did ha permit himself to make any comments whatever on the re sult. It Is known, however, that he Is not as sorely disappointed over the out come as many would suppose, for while lie sincerely wished for the election of Ctbnsoo and did bis utmost to bring It about, yet ha feels that his own po litical prospects wera not dimmed by the remocrtlo victory In New York. If anything, he feels that he Is stron-er In consequence of the defeat of Slim- eon. So far as the New York result Is con cerned. Colonel Rooeevelt knows that he clearly established himself as the arch nemy of the old line Republican bosses and of those financial Interests In which the publlo hss no confidence. Alwsys Colonel Rooeevelt haa been loved for the nemlas he haa made, and ha feels that the new enemies made l-i New York this year will ultimately prove a substantial asset In his favor. For the Impression as gone forth that Roosevelt and bis t'eket were defeated not alone by the I democratic vote, but by thousands of Re- tvjbUcana allied with the old bosses or V ail Street, who Joined with the Demo crats to overthrow the Republican ticket. avowedly for the purpose of humiliating I'.oosevelt. Gain In Fjid Counted On. Because of the thing. Cflonel Roose velt cannot bring himself to believe that Us personal or political populkrity haa suffered to any great degree because cf the manner of the Republican defeat In New York. Rather, he seems to be lieve that hla friends will regard him (he mora highly and that outside of New York State he will be the gainer rather than the loser. Yet be realises tbat a Republican vic tory In New York would have been helpful to him In another direction, for It would hava shown him to be the greatest and moat powerful Republican In his own state, able not only to over throw the old bosses In whom the people lacked confidence, but to defeat the De mocracy as well. Such a victory, bow ever, would, be believes, have been tss beneficial In the country at large than In the state of New York, and It Is cpn the country rather than New York fiat he relies for the successful carry ing through of the p!an he now has up permost In mind. Wrstrrn Tour la Blunder. Had Colonel Rooeevelt not undertaken Ma Western speaking tour during the campaign and attempted to satisfy voters both West and Kat. he undoubt edly would have come nearer carrying New York than he did on November a. For when he Invaded the West ha preached doctrines Intended for Western voters: doctrines which met with eon MeraMe approval In the section where delivered. Hut when he returned to the Kat. be found hla Western utterances being subjected to the severest condem nation, and found them lesa favorably received than they bad been In the West. According to soma of bis friends who talked with him when In Washington, the Colonel now realises that be blun dered when be went WeeL Under con ditions and sentiment which prevailed during the recent campaign. It was an impossibility for any Republican to preach the aame doctrine East and West. What the Wast wanted the East re jected, and vice versa. That Western trip.

The mu tlneers today sent to the government a strongly worded ultimatum, demand log an Increase In pay and the abolish ment of corporal punishment and sev eral other unpopular regulations. The Senate, which today was called In extraordinary session to consider the question, voted unanimously In fa vor of amnesty to the rebels, but the Chamber, after discussing the subject most of the day, adjourned without taking final action. Tonight, the battleship Sao Paulo and the cruiser Bahla withdrew from the harbor, but the battleship Minas Geraes took up a position opposite the government palace. Mutineers Refuse to Surrender. During the day an effort was made through Deputy Carvalho to Induce the mutineers to surrender, but they re fused to do so until the government should grant their demands. It is officially declared that the mu tiny is entirely without political char acter, and Is looked on merely as an effort of the sailors to enforce certain demands for concessions.

Mr. Keefe declared himself In favor of the most radical exclusion act ever recommended to the Government, and asked that authority be given to his department to deport, without refer ence to the Federal Courts, any Chinese found In the country without a certlfl cate after the new registration shall have been ordered. Mr. Keefe regards the proposed law as the only successful solution oi tne Chinese coolie labor question. While the number of Chinese de parting from the country la much larger than the number who find their way Into the United States, our Informa tion Is that 60 per cent of. those now here are Illegally within the United States," said Mr. Keefe.

"Since the last registration Chinese who were boys then have grown up and do not look any more like the pictures taken of them as babies than a Bonheur painting resembles tne Angelus.

Nov. 24. (Special. Driven from Lisbon by the revolt! tlonary party in control of Portugal, five priests and six lay brothers, mem bers of the Society of Jesus, are today preparing their home In this city and offering thanks that they have reached a community where religious tolerance obtains. The party arrived here from New Tork on the Overland Limited and was met at the ferry by Rev. Father Joseph Baa la, S. J., president of St. Ignatius College. They were conducted to the college, where they will be housed until they are assigned to various places In this state. The fugitives have undergone many dangers and trials since the revolu tlonists drove King Manuel from his throne. At the outbreak of the revolution many of the Jesuits fled from their churcnes and colleges, and narrowly escaping death at the hands of the revolutionary soldiery, reached Spain The whole of Spain was In such i tumult and so many anti-clerical dem onstrations were made that all who were not actually needed for work In tbat kingdom were transferred to other posts.

The upper chamber then adjourned until Monday, when dissolution of Parlla ment will take place. Thua the govern ment's veto bill has been ignored by the House of Lords.

The Times argues that Premier Asquith's promise to give facilities at the next Parliament for women's suffrage bills will make this question an Issue of the coming elec tions, and that If the elections confirm the government in power, the new Par liament will be considered to have re ceived a mandate to grant women votes on a democratic base. The Times thinks that neither the militant suffragists themselves nor the public perceives the significance of Mr. Asquith's promise and dilates on the danger of the situation In the face of the fact that a number of the women of the country and the gTeat majority of male electors resolutely oppose women's suffrage.

LUKE BURSTS 111 ALASKAN GLACIER Flood in Bering River Causes Disaster. MINERS' CABINS SWEPT AWAY Huge Icebergs Borne Seaward on Crest of Waters. LIVES ARE THOUGHT LOST Relief Parties Are Sent From Cor dova to Katalln River Rises Ten Feet In Four Hours Ac tion Second of Kind. CORDOVA, Alaska, Nov. 24. Icebergs of giant size were torn loose from the Bering glacier In a disastrous flood that swept the Bering River valley today. Swept before the huge rush of water, which caused the Bering River to rise ten feet in four hours, these great masses of ice carried everything before them In their rush to the sea. The flood had its origin In the loosen ing of the waters of an internal lake In the glacier. A great area of country southwest of the Ice fields was devas tated. Many miners' cabins near the river were carried out by the rush of water and ground to pieces by the loe. Grave fears are felt for the safety of the occupants. The roar of the flood and the grinding and crushing of the enor mous Icebergs could be heard six miles away. Prospectors May Be Lost. K. Smith and H. S. Wise, prospectors. who were last seen in the flooded region, may have been drowned. Searching partiea have been organized to go over the devastated section to de termine the extent of the damage and ascertain whether there has been ' loss of life. Relief parties have been sent from Katalla to take aid to the miners. Details of the destructive flood are lacking, only meager reports having been received here by telephone from Katalla. the nearest town to the ice-swept dis trict. Glacier Is Source of River. Bering glacier is east of Katalla and Is about 30 miles Inland from Controller Bay, Gulf of Alaska. It Is the source of the Bering River, which flows through the famous coal field of that name. This is the second peculiar glacial action of this nature to occur in this part of Alaska within recent years. Great damage was done two years ago, when a similar Internal lake broke from Miles glacier. In the Copper River valley, sweeping away several miles of newly laid track of the Copper River Railroad.
