man at the head of affairs, did not
dare advocate tnriff rovision in the

was opposed to it because he did not
want business conditions disturbed.
M,r. Hanua thinks presnf era of
Prosperity will run past the omln
presidential campaign, anl that iIum
republican party will get the benefit
thereof. He says the business out

year, and that it would bo foolish to
enter upon any legislation that would
unsettl the mind of the business
world.
Of course, Senator Aldrlch and his
lieutenants, the eastern protection
ists, concur In this conclusion.
Speaker Henderson and Senator Alli
son, who should have taken the west

consumer may be supposed to have
any friends in congress, have also
joined in the tactic bargain to
squelch all efforts to open up the tar

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CHAIRMAN'S HOT FIGHT
SENATE AND THE
PRESIDENT QUAP EL.
That is the Probability, Says a Wash
ington Dispatch. '
Cleveland, March 28. A Washing
ton special says:
Relations between Roosevelt and
the senate are rapidly approaching
the danger point. It is pointed out
that the senate military committee
may soon lock horns with the presi
dent. Chairman. Hawley has. rein
troduced the bill to give-Charles Haw
ley, the veteran of the civil war, an
honorable discharge. Roosevelt re
cently vetoed the bill because Hawley
deserted. The new bill will be
promptly passed and sent to the pres
ident. In the meanwhile the com
mittee has deferred action on the bre
vet commissions recommended by the
president In the cases of soldiers who
displayed gallantry in action in the
Philippines on the ground that the
president has the right to do this only
in time of war. They contend that
the trouble in the Philippines is not
war, but insurrection.
REPUBLICANS APPEAR
NOT TO BE DISTURBED
Captain Christmas' Accusations
Anent the Danish West Indies May
Not be Important.
Washington, March 28. The repub
licans of the house are not much dis
turbed by the charges of Captain
Christmas concerning the purchase of
the Danish West Indies. They look,
or profess to look, upon the matter as
a joke. The democrats don't think
it's funny, but yet they don't profess
to believe Christmas' claim .that he
bribed American congressmen. They
only insist that these- statements
should be investigated. Congress
man Gardner, of New Jersey, thinks
he is the man referred to ir Christ
mas' documents. He says that, be
yond an introduction to Christmas he
had no communication with the man.
At the state department today, the
charges of Captain Christmas were
characterized as "a baseless, unmiti
gated, senseless fabrication."
It is apparent to the officials of the
state department that unscruplous In
dividuals got hold of Christmas and
made him believe that the use of
money was a necessary part of the
negotiations for the sale of the
Islands and In that way he was led
to think the newspaper associations
were implicated and the senators and
congressmen absolutely in his pay.
Arkansas j? Democrats Have Had a
' Llyely (Jampaign Over the United
States Senatorship.
Little Rock, Ark., Mnrch 28. The
most exciting cannpaign in the poli
tical annals of Arkansas practically
closed toilay. Tomorrow the demo
crats will hold primaries throughout
the .state , for the selection of their
nominees.) from township constable
up to United States senator. Con
ventions nnd elections wi' be r.Jd
later in-the year, but th-y will be
little -mbre than formalities; success
at .the primary is the essential. Thi
primary will be the first i" the his
tory of Arkansas political panics
when all the the 74 counties have vot
ed at the same time.
The chief interest in the primary
centers in the race between Senator
James K. Jones and former governor
James P. Clarke for the United biates
senatorship. Senator Jones, who is
chairman of the democratic national
committee, has served IS years as
senator from Arkansas, but if he goes
back again "it will be after the hard
est etrugglo fjfhis entire political cn
reerT There wlll no senatorial
deadlock In tho Arkansas legislature
next winter, for the candidates have
agreed that the decision of the pri
maries will be final. It is evident
that tho race is close as well as excit
ing and the result will not be known
uutil the last precinct is in.
Tomorrow will bring some new
men Into the Arkansas congressional
delegation. Congressmen lUcRae and
McCuIlough are not candidates for re
election, while several others have
found opponents who are going to
give them a close rub. Among these
latter is Hugh A. Dlnsmoro of the
Third district, wl??. is tho ranking
democratic mem.bor of the house com
mitttee on foreign affairs. The con
gressional fights have a degree of un
certainty in them this year, as thi3
is the first election since the state
was redlstricted last winter. Arkan
sas gets seven congressmen now in
stead of six as In former years.
It is, however, when tho candidate
for governor is reached that the hot
test fight of the campaign Is revealed.
Governor Jeff DaviB is a candidate for
re-election and his opponent is Col
onel E. W. Rector of Hot Springs, son
of the war governor of Arkansas.
Governor Davis 1b the first governor
of Arkansas for over 30 years that
has an opponent for re-election for
second term. For weeks past the
two candidates have been on tho
hustings and the campaign has been
both picturesque and exciting. Their
joint debates have been noted for
their warmth of feeling and vehem
ance of expression more than their
oratory and logic, and not infrequent
ly the audience has taken a band and
made things livey for tho time being.
