Washington, June 21. — President Roosevelt told callers at the white house yesterday that In his opinion William J. Bryan would be the Dem ocratic nominee for president In 1908, and that the only man the Republi cans can put up against him success fully la William H. Taft, the present secretary of war. The president, It Is known, has defi nitely broached the matter of Taft as presidential timber to Senator Dick, of Ohio. Senator Dick, be It said, haa not encouraged the president's advances. The new tack of the president has stirred up Intense Interest In Wash ington. It had been expected that Mr. Taft would go on the supreme bench In the fall, when Justice Brown will retire, though this shift has never been more than tentatively decided upon. The president's coutse can mean dnly that he now desires to show Mr. Taft the possibility of his elevation to the presidency and to keep him In the cab inet and in the arena of active poli tics. In mentioning Taft as the man to beat Bryan, the president strikes a hard blow at Fairbanks, Shaw and Root, all of whom are prominently mentioned as candidates.

BURLINGTON RY, Instead of 825,000 the national guard of Georgia will receive 850,000 when President Roosevelt affixes his signa ture to the bill which has passed both legislative branches of the congress. When the militia bill reached the house from the senate Representative Morrell, of Pennsylvania succeeded In securing an Increase from one to two million dollars in the appropriation. This simply means that the national guard of every state will have Us gov ernment appropriation doubled. In the case of Georgia It means 825,000 more for the volunteer hoys. Ths bill very materially enlarges the scope for which the government ap propriation fhay be used. Under the present law the use of federal funds for the promotion of rllte practice or the acqulsUlon. construction or main tenance of shooting galleries and suit able rifle ranges la not allowed. The Morrell bill permits this. The national guard of the country now numbers about 122,000 men. With the 82,000..000 available, this will gIVD about lit tor each man.

Two Freight Brokers Fined and Go to Jail. By Private Leased .Wire. Kknsos .City, Mo., June 22.—Judge McPherson In the Federal court this morning lined the Burlington railroad nnd the Armour, Swift, Morris and Cudahy Packing Companies 818,000 each for conspiracy to give and receive rebates. They were convicted two weeks ago. George L. Thomas, a freight broker of New York, was lined 88,000 and sentenced to four months In Jail, and B. Taggart was lined 84,000 and sentenced to three months In Jail. Ap peals were asked In each case. In passing sentence upon the con victed persons end corporations Judge McPhyrson said ha wished to correct the Impression that these were rebate cases. He said. Instead, they were cases of unlawful concessions. The charge was that the Burlington rood and the convicted packers en tered Into an agreement by which the peckers were to route export ship ments over the Burlington rood at a tariff of 23 cents, 12 centa leaa than the established rate. "The excuse or pretext, or device for that, waa a contract In form, but utter ly Invalid after August 8, 1*08," said the court. “The shippers and the rail way nre In this together. They have been convicted on evidence differing In form, but of the same meaning.

Besides the new crowned king, with his bride, crowned In her turn. Queen Maud. Affection mingled with the pa triotic sentiment that stirred the thou sands for the coronation, but underly ing the general feeling there was clear ly shown a Spirit, almost fierce, of na tionalism. .“All For Norway.” “AU for Norway," the national motto has It, that has never been equaled since the days of Norway's independ ence and power. The coronation ceremony took place In Trondhjem cathedral, not yet com pleted, but so covered with decoration for the occasion that its defects were not noticeable. The klpg nnd queen sat In ancient chairs, under canoplee of red nnd gold, rapped by crowns embroidered with the Initials of Ilnnkon and his wife, the whole placed between the two tran sits under the dome of the structure. The royal procession from the palace to the cathedral was truly a triumphal procession. The populace, augmented many fold by the vlaltora, never seemed tn end their shoutings. In the cathe dral It Wss ths same, although mare dignified. A battery of artillery boomed out Its royal salvos when the coronation worn completed. The coronation music fol lowed, consisting of a specially com- post ,1 rnniiitn. In four parts, the work of Conductor Hslvsrssn, of the nullofhl theater of Christiana, nnd aung with chorus of 220 voices. Not a Single Soldier. Through streets lined with crowds of peasants In national costume, tourists and civilians by the thousand, but not single soldier. King Haakon nnd Queen Maud drove from the atlfta- gaard to the old cathedral. The royal party was accompanied by the mem bers of ths cabinet, representative of all tha royal families of Europe and ths members of the corps diplomatique. They started a little after 11 o'clock and so slow was thalr progress through the crowded street that although the distance Is less than a mils. It took them nearly an hour. Had an anar chist wanted to, he could ealsly have killed the king, for no attempt waa made to keep the crowds back, and both the king and queen shook hands with every one within reach. Before the ceremonies attending the coronation King Haakon received the American special embassy to corona tion. William Jennings Bryan accom- panlsd Charles H. Graves, American minister to Sweden, who heads ths embassy. Attended by Norwegian of ficials, the two Americana, with Major William W. Gibson, military attache at St. Petersburg, and. Lieutenant Commander John H. Gibbons, naval attache at London, drove to the palace. The king also received the Dutch,' French, Italian and Austrian special envoys. Since the days of Harold Haarfaager, Haakon ths Good and Eric Bloodax, all Norwegian kings, havs been crowned at Tronhjem. Olaf Tryggevesson, the great king, made It practically the capital of Scandinavia. IS ONLY HOPE Army is All That Stands in Way of Vengeance of Reactionaries.

This Is the substance of an order which has galvanised the efforts of the sixteen detectives at work on the Bronx mansion murder mystery Into fresh activity, "If you cannot arrest the lawyer, disprove Mrs. Shlppo's story," Is the alternative command. The police today are bending their every energy to the task of establish Ing the truth or falsity of the sworn statement mads by Mrs. Stanton's tenant. Mrs. Bhlppo stands unwaveringly by her declaration. During three hours Coroner McDonald and the deputy sheriff and Police Captain Prince and all the formidable battery of Investi gators who were present at the pre liminary Inquest tried vainly to trip her In self cunt rad lctlou.^^^^^^^1 Her persistence made the case more pussling than before. High police of ficials declared frankly that they did not believe her. Yet, on the strength of a charge which named no attorney epeclAcally, they placed Lawyer Bur. ton W. Olbson under surveillance. He was notified, ejso, to appear today and tell all concerning his past relations with Mrs. Stenton and Mrs. Klnan.

Hperlal Cable—Copyright. Hf. Petersburg, June 22.—Tin which has been the bulwark autocracy, Is all that elands way of the reactionaries taking ance on tho doumn. In Its lmlcpcn'lcnco and free, any bitter, criticism of the government, the Konshin parliament bears n most ominous resemblance to the slates gen era), which was tic i„- K timing of the . end of French numeracy. The reaction aries under Trepotr realize fully ihat unless the doumn Is crushed their pow er Is dimmed. If the army was loyal aa It had been up to the tlmo of the Tspaneae wnr, tho leaders of tho douma would already ho on thrlr way to Hl- berla or dead and tho body of the dele gates would ho sent home, marked men. The army, however. Is honeycombed with revolutionary sentiment and Is ils likely lo side with the new power ns with tho old—more likely. In fact.

Not a day passea hut brings Ha story of mutiny and not tho half of them are permitted to become public, Tho troubles at #ovaatupol was inoro se rious than tha official report Indicated. The mutlneera there did not surrender until everything they demanded had been granted. The troops who were sent to capture them could not be de- !pended on nnd had the demands of tho mutineers not been granted the mutiny would have spread lo other regiments.

At Ryaxau, the Bolschofr regiment Is in open mutiny and has killed some of [its officers. ■ Despite the denial, there waa trouble Wednesday with the troops at Cron- Htndt. I am assured that there was very serious mutiny, which Mas ended by tho promlso of radical reforms. These are a few of tho many In stances. The revolutionary pnrty spread throughout the army, anil the fact that without hardly tin exception, [the government grants the demands of the men has very largely destroyed discipline In the army. The radleals are bending their ener gies very largely to making converts In the army and there Is reason to be lieve that they are meeting with phe nomenal success. I Leaders of the douma are MM ring [action looking to ths paajabinrm nt those responsible for the Rlalystok |massacres snd the prevention 1 fur ther "pogroms." Within a short time the matter will be taken up for debate and I am assured that some startling statements will be made, baeked up hy proof as to the responsibility for the massacre.
