Cannon and Hughes. Cannon for president and Hughes for vice-president is the combination which anti-Roosevelt politicians and financiers are now considering. Hitherto there has been no disposi tion umong those whom the President calls “the reactionaries” to take any interest in Uncle Joe. Their reason for doing so new is the strategic value of uniting New York and Illinois in the convention. Pennsylvania in their calculations, would be in line with the second biggest delegation in the convention, and such a combination as that would be difficult to beat. The Cannon-Hughes idea originated in New York City, and has been brought to Washington by both finan ciers and statesmen. German-American Not to Join a a Party Machine. The closing session of the conven tion of the German-American Alliance at New York, whose delegates repre sent 1,500,000 voters throughout the country was made brisk by a spirited debate on the question of politics.

Urges The Scarlet Letter. Rev. Frederick E. Hopkins told a congregation, which jammed the Pil grim Congregational Church at Chi cago, “wnac ought to be done to a man who asks a woman to drink.” The address was a continuation of his crusade against women drinking in restaurants-and elsewhere in pub lic places. He declared: 4 ‘The man who insists upon a wo man drinking after she has said she ‘thought she shouldn’t —this citizen should ba ostracized by society. The church and the public at large should compel him to wear the scarlet letter ‘D’ pinned on his breast, for he is a debauchee, a devil.” Asheville Goes “Dry.” Governor Glenn was deeply grati fied Dy a telegram from J. n. fucker, of Asnevilie, telling him the prohibi tionists haa defeated the saloons and made the city “dry” by iUO ma jority.

VYiuiam Jennings Bryan addressed twemy-nve tnousana people at the Elate f air grounds at liicumond, Va., the day having Deen set aside by tnu P air .association ui his honor. Poli ticians from ail ovef- the btate were here to hear him discuss the import ant issues of the day. Air. Bryan took as his subject: “The Average Man.” He contrasted the broad po litical views of Jenerscn and the nar row views of Hamilton, after which, in discussing the permanency of the democratic ideas, he said: “No president has ever dared to violate the two term precedent. So strong is Uns idea m this country now that the present President of the United States recognizes it. He said on the evening "of ins election that he regarded this term as a second term, and would not be a candidate for a third term.” Many were the good humored thrusts with which Mr. Bryan com mented on the President’s tendecy to borrow good things from the demo cratic platform, a process which Mr. Bryan described as “nibbling.” Speaking of railroads, the speaker said: ‘ ‘ Jhe government is a pretty good threat to hold over railroads, for if they don’t get out of politics, they will have to get out of business.” “Effective railroad legislation”, he slid, “is what the democratic party has been contending ,I'or for years. The question of government owner ship, in his opinion, has never been an immediate issue. The country wants to know what railroads are worth and to put a stop to the water ing of stock, he said. ‘ • While I criticise the President for what is bad,” he continued, “I com mend him for that which is good. He has done one thing that is good. He has called attention to swollen for tunes. Who ever got $1,000,000 hon estly in this country, or any other! A man would have to be president of the United States for one thousand year to earn $100,000,000, and yet that is the limit that {Senator Bever idge has placed on fortunes before they become swollen.” Urges Four More Big Battleships. Recognizing the diplomatic as well as the tacucai arguments m favor of the rapid upDuiiomg of the navy, the General Board, of which Admiral Dewey is the president, has made lib eral recommendations for new au thorizations by Congress at its next session. Four battle ships arc the backbone of tne recommendation, and the Board’s memorandum calls for the most powerful of tins type yet pro jected, which, in the American Rar vy, is the Delaware class, with its single calbre battery, high speed and great steaming radius. Six tor pedo boat destroyers, three scout crui sers, four colliers complete the recom mendations. Wane keeping in mind the limits which national policy places upon naval- expenditures, the General Board, as a rule, gives merely its pro fessional opinion of the needs of tne service, leaving details of construc tion largely to the bureaus of the Ra vy Department winch are responsible for the budding of vessels under con tract. For this reason it will not be possible until the Raval Board on Construction has commented on the recommendations to state the charac teristics of the new ships desired. The Secretary of the Ravy and the Pres ident will decide what Congress shall be asked to authorize. Mrs. Chadwick Died .Silent. The body of Airs. Cassie Chadwick, who died in the penitentiary at Co lumbus, 0., will be taken to .Cleveland by Emil Hoover, but no plans for the funeral have been announced. Airs.

Ryan, in the Interborough Metropolitan Company, which controls all the railways of Manhattan and the Bronx, New York City. Though they are still bound together by the street railway merger, hostility has taken the place of alliance and harmonious action be tween them. Two years ago Ryan forced Bel mont into the merger. Today Bel mont has repudiated and disowned both the Metropolitan surface sys tetm and the gigantic, water-logged merger, and is engaged only in hold ing tight to his original profitable properties—the Subway and elevat ed fines —leaving Ryan responsible fox: the rest. He has refused to give up one penny of his profits to help out the standard Metropolitan, and the Interborough-Metropolitan Com pany, called the merger, is facing a crisis. The only source of income for the merger is what is paid in by its subsidiary companies. The Metro politan being bankrupt, is now una ble to pay anything. The Interbor ough has given notice that nothing need be expected from it above the regular demands to meet interest on merger bonds that represent Sub way stock held in trust.

Separating in smaller parties the roughs beat several Jewish shop keepers almost to death and looted their stores. They attacked a police sergeant who tried to protect the Jews and he shot a rough dead. After more such scenes Cossacks were sent to disperse the rioters, but instead of pursuing them the Cos sacks laughed at them as they scur ried away. Fewer police than usual are on the streets.
