They will have a flne long talk, and "Uncle Joe" will tell Champ I that the Speahership without the power to appoint committees would be like the i plot of "Hamlet" without the Prince of I Denmark. Champ Clark is said to be wavering a little on the proposition, but I will probably have to stick to the plan for stripping himself of his power. 1 Representative Alexander, of Buffalo. contributed to the gossip about the Capi ital 3 esterday a story of how a majority of one against him could have been made i a majority of one in his favor if he had I even dreamed he was in danger at the i election.

Accustomed to eler- tlona by rattling good majorities, he could i not see, thaf his seat was in jeopardy. For that reason he failed to get the full vote out. For example, a clerk and assistant clerk of his committee, who are entitled to vote In his di-strict, did not ex- -ecplse their privilege As a result, Mr. Alexander will lose his seat. Tell One on Taft.

i This is another one that was Void yesterday. President Taft has a great liking for Richmond. and its people. That liking is reciprocated by a great many citizens of the Virginia capital; but, like most other Southerners, they I don't allow their personal feelings to lead away from the Democracy. In witness of these the President recently has told friends this story, which was related to him by Deacon J.

M. Hemphill, editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Deacon Hemphill sat at a banquet be.side a. fellow-citizen and a Democrat who was loud In his praiie of Mr. Taft "Taft," said this man to the Deacon.

"Is a bully fellow. He's a fine man, and I like i very much." "Would you vote for him if he were nominated again?" asked the Deacon. "I'd see him In hell first," was the answer.

S. Burg, of the steamship City of Savannah, which arrived today from Savannah, had a story to tell of a wonderful sight outside Tybee Light, the ocean outlet of the Savannah River, Saturday. A year ago the steamship Charlton was wrecked on the breakwater near the light and the wreck has remained undisturbed. Thousands of sea Bulls went on board the Charlton, and occupied the deckhouses for roosts and the decks for res.t- ing places. They even filled the top of the funnel, and the two masts that still stand on the wreck were covered with the birds, when the City of Savannah passed Into the Atlantic.

Fun for the Passengers. When Capt. Burg's steamship passed the derelict hundreds of the sea gullb swooped down upon the Savannah liner's after deck, eagerly snapping up bits of meat and edibles left over from the table, uttftlng shrill cries as they napped their wings over the passengers who were gathered on the Savannah liner watching the strange scene. "I've seen many a strange sight at 1 said Capt. Burg, who has a number of daring rescues to his credit, "but these thousands of sea gulls fairly covering the wrecked steamship were about tiie most wonderful that ever feVl to my lot to behold.

The gulls, evidently quite hungry, were so tame that wo could have picked them up as they came down on our deck. The passengers had a great time feeding the visitors." Arrived in Thousands. To some of the passengers on the City of Savannah it seemed that the sea gulls had formed a small community of their own on the derelict Charlton. One large white bird, it looked to them, appeared to be master of ceremonies, or perha.ps the mayor the sea gull city. He perched atop Ihe main mast and screamed his commands to the rest ot the colony.

Occasionally the old bird was seen to swoop down on the after deck of the Charlton and separate a group of gulls who were battling over a fish, or ther tidbit, that one of them had securdd from tho soa. AVhcn the City of Savannah blew a on her whistle to salute the pilot boat outside Tybee, thousands of the sea gulls ascended from their novel "home," soared high in the air, and were seen to descend the derelict Charl- only after the City of Saian- nah had put a mile or two between herself and the sea gulls' colony. The City of Savannah had passed the wreck going up the river Tuesday, but on that day not a bird WK seen. cent of the natives to that part of Mexico are against the Diaz government, and that 'those not openly supporting the revolutionists are passive. The Jnsurrectos appear to have plenty of arms and ammunition, and seem to have plenty of money behind them.

Both conrespondents agree that the in- surrectos have not been conquered, but only driven Into the mountains. Desultory fighting is expected to continue. Richard Evans, galley boy on the El Paso Herald, declared In a Juarez'saloon Sunday, night that "Madero can lick Diaz." The boy was locked up, but was released by Mexican authorities today. The Mexican revolution has' been almost completely suppressed, according to Information received at the State ment yesterday from Henry Lane Wilson, American Ambassador at Mexico City. Order prevails, he said, in every part of the country except in the state of Chihuahua, where the "government troops are operating vigorously to suppress the rebels In the remote sections.

Philip C. Hanna, American consul general at Monterey, has telegraphed to Ihe department that all Is quiet from the Arizona border to the southern oo'tnViry of San Luis Potosi and from the Famine to the gulf. Very few actual instanced of disorder, he added, occurred. MAY SEIZE CANAL TRADE England and Japan Plan Lines From New York to Pern. Announcement Made by B.

Commission Baltimore. Nov. N. Baker ed information today from an authoritative source that the Royal Mall Packet Company of England has bought the Pacific Steam Navigation Company of South America, and is now making plans to carry mails under a subsidy from England to Jamaica and thence through the Panama Canal to Valparaiso and Callao and from New York to Callao and Valparaiso also by the canal. In addition to this enterprise, the Japanese, declared, have arranged to subsidize a line from New York direct to Callao and Valparaiso, and have obtained a subsidy not only from their own government, but from the Peruyins as well, with the avowed purpose of carrying American goods.

In order to maintain control of the trade Japan purposes, after learning the class of goods In demand, to produce this mcrehandie In their country, and send out the articles so that eventually the orientals can drive the Americans out of their own territory. This last venture is regarded as the most formidable of any yet Inaugurated, Baker says. Already Japan has ordered the construction of a. number of steamers capable of covering 21 knots 'and over an hour, which are to be used exclusively in the South American trade.

The public service commission learned for the first time day that a new railroad is pi ejected I through the heart of Maryland. The news was divulged by a protest from the mayor, city council, and residents of Hyattsvllle against grade crossings of the" Washington, Frederick and Gettysburg Railroad Company.

The commission was at a loss to know the meaning of the protest, since it had received no application as required by law from the railroad in question to begin the work of construction, to issue stock or bonds, or to begin other preliminaries incidental to railroad building. There was considerable surprise among members of the commission that the projected enterprise had gone so far that the authorities and residents of Hyattsville had come forward with a protest against grade crossings. It was stated that the charier for the railroad company mentioned was ob- I tained by a legislative, act in 1908. Senator Beasman, of Carroll county, being one i of the mcorporators. Five days' notice was allowed the railroad by the public service commission in which to file an answer as to wny its tracks should not be laised or lowered about Hyattsvllle to obviate the present grade crossings.
