ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS (IIA 111. Is W. FAIRBANKS, WASHINGTON, D. March 28 Ml si-em willing that Senator Charles Warren Fairbanks, eel Indiana, shall be President Roosevelt's running mate on the Republican ticket. This agreement takes in not only the president and senator, the chief parties in interest, but apparently extendi to all the leaders of-the party.

Fairbanks was near tin- presidency at the Philadelphia convention, four yean agonearer anybody nt that time imagined. He was the choice of McKinley 11.11111.l for vice president. could hove been nominated, Fairbanks, however, held lb- thought there would be ii day.when a party would place'him at tin bead of a presidential ticket. To accept second at Philadelphia might destroy that chance. His Indiana insisted that he should decline.

He would i be doing an injustice both tee himself and i to tin- state. arguments were in accord with bis own ambition ami Fairbanks remained off the ticket. The party turned to Allison and i Spooner.

Neither of them would accept. Then Congressman Dolliver, of lowa, and Secretary of the Navy John 1). Long, of Massachusetts, entered the Maid. Either i ben acceptable but neither could hold the U. Km), llanna 'I lie dead-lock opened -I In- way to Plat! and Quay to bring Roosevelt to the front.

There was lot of Roosevelt sentiment in the air anyway and this, combined with the break in the presidential forces, made possible tin rough rider's nomination even against bis wishes. lie accepted .111,1 the Buffalo tragedy elevated him to After the election was much talk of Fairbanks McKinley's successor. Whatever chance he had, though, was swept away by the president'! death. During the (wist winter, there- was eral speculation as to Roosevelt's associate 'on the ticket. The question is believed by statesmen to have been settled when Fairbanks, a few days ago, let it be known that lie would accept the nomination.

On the; surface the alleged arrangement seems to be little mora than political goslip. In fact it is the definite policy of the party leaders, Roosevelt has said he will take no part in the 'contest for the nomination of his running mate. He has stated privately that he would be well satisfied if Fairbanks were placed on the ticket. That assurance was the first requisite to Fairbanks' to accept, The second was that lie would lie elected, That, too, was settled the affirmative in bis belief and then Fail haul. passed out word through his friends that if the convention choie to honor him with the nomination 1 for vice president he would take it.

He has not openly declared himself because, tor one of two lea-oil-, he might de- not to run. If he should wiiitdraw he would desire without being placed; light of defeated and dis- appointed candidate. Not having declared himself he could drop out and there would be nothing in the record to show that he had ever sought place. The only considerations that, can keep him off the ticket will a belief that he would not be elected or a change of mind on the part of Roosevelt that will lead him to desire some other associate than Fairbanks. Neither contingency is nil probable.

Fairbanks seems beyond all doubt to be the man. A brisk- contest for seat in the senate is sow under way in.lndiana. Governor Deri-bin mid Congressmen H.menu.n and are the leading candidates. Hemenway's friends seem to be confident i that he is in the lead. i Senator Fairbanks is very much an dates back to the earliest i of the- to Jonathan Fayerbanks, a Puritan came from England nearly years ago.

WHERE 6,000 PEOPLE ARE FED UNrER ONE ROOF EVERY DAY CONSTANTINOPLE; March It is estimated that more than 0,000 persons are led every day at the Dolma Buktche palace when the sultan is there, and the treasurer of the household has a pretty heavy burden upon his shoulders, There is a regular organized force of buyers.each charged with the purchase of cer- tain supplies lor the palace.

One man's i duty is to buy fish; and in do this for 6,000 persons is no light undertaking in a city which lias no great markets. About ten tons a week are required and to secure this, some twenty men are kept busy. i Nearly 18,000 pounds of bread are eaten daily, and all this is baked" in enormous ovens at some distance from the palace. Of course a large -force of bakers is required, as well another large force of buyers and carriers of flour and fuel. The sultan's own food is prepared by one man, and his aids, and no others touch It.

It is cooked in silver vessels, and when done each kettle is scaled by a slip of paper and a stamp. This stamp is broken in the presence of the sultan by the high chamberlain, who takes one spoonful of each kettle before the sultan-tastes it as a safeguard against poison! Nearly a ton of rice a day is required for the inevitable pilaff, together with 600 pounds of sugar and an equal amount of coffee, lo say nothing of the other groceries, fruit, vegetables and meat. That there is enormous waste and extravagance in the kitchens is almost a matter of course; it is, said thai enough Is thrown away daily to feed a hundred families. The surplus is gathered up by Hie beggars, with which Constantinople abounds, ami what still remains is eaten by the scavenger dogs. WAR HAS ALREADY MADE U.

S. $50,000,000 RICHER WASHINGTON. 1). March Treasury experts estimate that at least $40,000,000 has come into this country as a result of the Russo-Japanese war. Some of them are disposed to place the amount at (00,000,000, These stupendous figures indicate what has been paid to Uncle Sam by the two nations in feeding and preparing their war- for the fray.

They stand for many cargoes of coal and fleets of laden with food and materials of war. There i is a current of foreign gold strong enough i to make an impression in centers of trade all the way from San Francisco to New York. A single illustration will, serve as an i indication of the vast sum- that are lining American pockets, According to law. a i man having foreign gold in San Francisco and desiring to get credit for a similar i amount in American money in New York, ma; be accommodated by dealing with the i treasury people. He- can also save the expense of sending the money across the i country.

This can be done by depositing i tin- foreign gold in the sub-treasury in San Francisco. The sub-treasurer causes i it to be melted ami converted into Am- ericas coins. Then by telegraph be se- i cures for the owner of the gold a credit tor the value of it at the tub-treasury in New York. Since the war preparations have been under way Japanese yen to the value of have been deposited in San Francisco for conversion and transfer, by telegraph, to New York. This, of course, stands for only a part of the war supplies purchased in the east.

It does not by fatinclude all the purchases mule in the eastern part of the country and takes no account of the food and other supplies purchased the middle west and the Pacific, slope. Russian gold, has been coming in a steady stream most of it through the port of New York. That other countries are also profiting by the "ii i- shown by i report from United States Consul Warner, at l.eip- Germany, which says: Waffenfahrik at Steyr, Austria, ha- just received an order through a Merlin hull- for a large number of -mall arms for the Chinese government.

MILES HIES ON HORRORS AND THE DEVASTATION OF 10 In this article I propose to refer to the subject of war; the oldest of the services, something in which man has been more or less engaged from his earliest existence. The history of tribes and nations has been largely made up of- the history of their wars on land and sea.

The subject has attracted the attention of historians, poet-, artist-, statesmen, orators and divines. Yet, only those who have passed through the fiery ordeal of long, severe campaigns, of desperate battles, can comprehend or fully realize the significance of war. It implies destruction, devastation, death; and the world will have to change much tor the better before it will reach that high degree of civilization when wars slrall be no more, and when there shall be universal brotherhood of man. In the of antiquity wars were determined largely by physical force and the weight of and were even more destructive of life in the clays of the battleax ami short-sword than at the present time with all the appliances of machine rifles ami high power guns. In tin- science of war the principles of strategy and grand tactics are the same today as in the time of Caesars: the military formation and minor tactics have materially changed; Now the problem of war is largely determined by the wealth of the nation, and the expense i- Ear greater in the clays of battleships and the costly munitions of The real a nation is today the same a- ever.

It is not the waste of treasure or the devastation of a country that constitutes the greatest loss to a nation engaged in war. It is the destruction of the flower of be nation's young manhood that an- sacrificed and sent down to untimely graves. That is an irreparable and deplorable loss to any people or to any nation. It i- said that the Crimean war cost one billion and a half of treasure. Our own great civil war cost eight billions of treasure, enough to have given homes for people, to say nothing of the devastation of the country.

Yet by far a greater hiss than the treasure to the country was that of young men from both sections, who were sacrificed in that terrible conflict. There are occasions when war becomes a necessity as, for instance, the defense of a nation or the defense of some great principle or cause; but a far wiser and better method of determining such great political questions would be by a congress of nations, the supremacy "i reason ami justice, rather than by the sacrifice of the young men of the country. The great majority of war-, however, are caused by the ambition of some men, the of unprincipled men, to gratify the avarice.of a people, or the aggrandisement of a nation. And ii only those who instigate, encourage, promote and produce war were the participants, wars would and universal peace prevail. The contrast between a condition of war and a condition of peace was never more fit your hair is falling out you should see Madam Ray at once and not until it is too late.
