13th to 1-tth, Maple, gl Building Cut Stone All Kinds, FEPUBLICAN LEADERS AGREE THERE WILL BE NOTHING DONE BY NEXT CONGRESS. THE OUTLOOK IN POLITICS. (OlcLXiners Gradually Giving Up the Pight Against President Roosevelt pbominent democrats talk. Washington, May Payne, of New York, who is to bo chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the next Congress, and Representative Hemenway, of Indiana, who is to head the Appropriations Committee, are both out, in interviews to-day with former Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith, decrying the need of tariff revision. All tha schedules of the Bill suit the three Republican statesmen.

AM agree that there should be no tariff changes at the next session of Congress, though Editor Smith admits that some time in the distant future, perhaps in the Republican platform next year, It might bo advisable to ask for a revision in certain schedules. It seems to bo settled here that the work of the Ways and Means Committee in the next Congress will be ibout the lightest on record. There Is absolutely no chance for tariff revision, though shrewd Republican politicians, who clearly see the demand for a revision, admit that the next platform In deference to the wishes of the Western tariff revisionists will contain a plank calling for revision "when it Is neces-Bary" which is nothing but a straddle. Mr. Eichardson On 1904.

Representative Richardson, of Ala--baroa. who is In Washington on departmental business, takes a hopeful view of the evident intention of the Republicans not to reduce the tariff at the net Congress. am glad," said Mr. Richardson, "to see that the Republican leaders are proclaiming the determination, of the Republican party to 'stand paf against any revision or reduction of the tariff. That sharply defines the issue of 1904 for the Democracy.

Of course, we rto- sire also to investigate how the Republicans have been 'keeping books' in the departments." In regard to a possible Democratic presidential candidate Mr. Richardson said: "I am unable to state that there is any well. defined sentimeht'or preference In Alabama for any one whose name has already been mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomination for President. My personal preference is for Judge Parker, of New York. Undoubtedly he is an able Judge and a consistent Democrat, but his chief recommendation to me Is his availability, namely, that he stands a good chance of carrying New York.

I believe the Democrats of our State will readily and eagerly in the next few months give support to the nomination of the. Democrat who, after thorough consideration, stands the bes; chance of carrying New York State. That is the key to the situation. "I feel sanguine of the defeat of the Republican party if we enter the contest with a united Democracy. With an tne ngnts we win nave when our national convention assembles, I have faith that we will make mistake In candidate or platform." Senator Hanna's Laydown.

"I have a right to take more than a passing interest in Senator Hanna, of Ohio, because he Is during the summer at least one of my constituents residing in Thomasville," said Repre sentatlve Griggs, of Georgia, to-night. -'This leads me to regret very much that he should have seemingly 'laid down on the Roosevelt indorsement proposition. I say 'laid for. despite what his friends and enemies may say. It will always appear this way to the public.

I am, Indeed, delighted to see some one else fighting besides the Democrats. And I might add that I would like it very much better If our folk. Instead of always insisting upon llgnong to a finish, would like Senator Hanna, lay aown Detore the game got hot. "However," concluded "I think the Democratic party as a whole is tired of There are signs that the great majority- of the party will be ready to stand together in 1904 on issues now affecting thn pie. They win nominate some man who ua uie connaence or the masses and at the same time is not obnoxious to the business interests of the country It is perfect folly to think of the vast majority of the Democratlo party permitting a small majority to" dictate the candidate and platform.

This will never be done. It is also folly to think ui i L-iceauns iur. uryan to the rear We can no more afford to ignore Mr' Bryan than we can afford to nominate aim ougnt to be, consulted both as to the platform and the candidate. In fact, all Democrats eikiuiu he irimsuueci. iNo platform or candidate selected through faction can hope for anything but defeat, and I believe the Democratic national convention can be depended upon 'o do the right thing." Hard On the Old Liners.

The telegrams from Indianapolis this afternoon announcing that Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, now conceded the nomination of President Roosevelt Is another cause of rejoicing among friends of. the President. Fairbanks had always been looked upon by them as the man most likely to be put forward by Senator Hanna. As an able, dignified and modest man It was grant ed that his candidacy would strongly appeal to the conservative element of the Republican party. It is announced that the Fairbanks Interview was given out immediately upon his return from Cleveland, where he had been to consult Senator Hanna.

the late national and Ohio boss. Evidently the Indiana and Ohio Senators reached the conclusion that there was no way for th Republican party to escape the nomination of President Roosevelt and lh beat thing to be done was to. accept it and face the music of the wild We3t show in the campaign next year. It is pretty hard on the old-line Republican leaders to have to stand ud anri hniir. In 1901 loriMrk Roosevelt -yhen AND THE RESULT DECLARED.

Plans are under way for the construction of an Immense long distance electric transmission power plant at Cumberland Falls. The water power will be utilized In a manner similar to tho famous plant at Niagara Falls.

The current is to be carried to Louisville and will be sold to consumers this city. The scheme involves the expenditure of a large amount of money, but tho promoters are confident of Its success and will push the matter. Surveys are now being made along the Cumberland river to locate the plant at Cumberland Falls. From the information that has already been obtained It will require a masonry dam seventy-five feet high at a point one-half mile above the falls, which will give the plant 140 feet head and develop 15,000 horso power. A dam of this height will Gtoro the water for soma fifteen miles up the river.

The Immense storage reservoir formed in this way will enable the plant to operate at least slxty'days during the extreme dry season without any rainfall. Tho water will be carried from the dam through a twelve-foot steel feed er pipo to the power plant below the falls, where It will pass through water wheels directly connected to large gen erators. The electric current will be carried at a very high voltage on a pole lino across the country to Louis vllle a substation will be erected to step down the current for commer cial purposes. It is estimated that the entire nlant will cost about to construct complete and ready for business. Ac tive work on the dam will probably start late this summer.

Mr. Harry J. McDargh, associate member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, ot Dayton, Is the engineer in charge of the work, and it will require about seven weeks to make complete surveys before plans can ba made. Election Commissioners Named. Nashville, May 30: Special.
