THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBUK& WASHINGTON from our Kecular Correspondent. Washington, D. C, April 6, 1908. A recent interview given to the press by W. H. Hennessy of St. Paul who was sent to New York to promote the boom of Governor Johnson of Minnesota is regarded by the Democratic leader as typi cal of the opposition to the great Ncbtaskan. Mr. Hennessy went to New York filled with Johnson enthusiasm He returned blled with enthusiasm for Charles A. Towne, who is said to command the united support of Tammany Hall. Mr. Hennessy tells the world that Governor Johusou would welcome the nomination of Mr. Towne as Yicc President, but that if Mr. Johnson cannot be nominat ed for first place, then he believes Mr. Towne will be. Mr, Towne, it will be remembered, was appoint ed to the Senate vice the late Cush man K. Davis, who had died in office. Towne was then a Republi can. He later became a Democrat, however, ami served a term in the House as a Representative from New York. Mr. Towne is eminently popular in and out of Tammany Hall, but there are few Democrats who will regard him as in the same class as William J. Bryan or as approaching presiden tial size. Nor is it at all likely that the great body of the Demo cracy would care to enter the fight for the presidency with a Tammany candidate. The ease with which Mr. Hennessy has been won over to the Tammany view, however, is regarded here as showing how little real vitality, there is to the oppo sition to Mr. Bryan and especially to the Johnson boom. Senator Teller of Colorado made quite a speech in the Senate last week on what he called the ten dency of the general government to overrule the powers of the States of the Union and to ignore the re strictions of the Constitution. He contended that the Federal govern ment justified any act on its part by ascribing it to the public in terest. President Roosevelt recently en tertained at the White House the well-known British naturalist, R. Keatnor, who lectured, in Washing ton, by request, to a distinguished audience including the President and the British Ambassador. Af ter luncheon at the White House the President took Keatnor for a drive into the country and intro duced him to many American birds. Together they stalked woodpeck ers, phoebes, cardinal birds and tree sparrows, creeping stealthily over muddy, slippery hillsides, and beneath dripping undergrowth. Mr. Keatnor afterwards declared that he "had the extreme satisfac tion of thanking the ruler of the United States of America forgiving me the greatest ornithological treat I have ever enjoyed in my life." A rumor has been circulated to the effect that Post-master General Meyer is contemplating resigning his position in the Cabinet to accept the control of a large trust com pany. Mr. Meyer denies absolutely the truth of the story and he is oc cupied with plans looking to im provements and additions to the service. Mr. Meyer just now is devoting great attention to the postal savings bank and the cheap er parcel post and he is confident that ii these measures are adopted great benefit will accrue to the country as a result. V Some of the anti-Bryan-ites have been counting on Texas to help them in their fight against the Peerless Reader but they hive counted without their host. It is true that there has been a good deal of anti-Bryan sentiment in tbe Lone Star stale but it has all fueled away in the presence of the fight on Senator Bailey. In their desire to fleet or defeat Senator Bailey the opposing factious have each conic out strung for Bryan and ac cording to Representative Slaydou, How's This?

The result of the Massachusetts primaries is regarded here as a vic tory for Secretary Taft who will receive at least twenty-two out of the thirty-two votes cast by the Massachusetts delegation. Of course the methods employed in Massa chusetts leave some ground for jug gling with the facts and the anti Taft crowd will, perhaps, continue to claim nearly all the delegation, but there is no ground for the claim. Of the district delegates twenty are pledged, informally, to vote for Taft, although they will not be instructed, and two of the delegates at large will do the same. The breaking of the solid Illinois delegation by the instruction of two delegates for Taft has proved a severe blow to Speaker Cannon and th; old man he is already 72 looks ten years older since he has known that he cannot get the solid delega tion from his state. The result has been to make him unusually testy as many members can te-tify to their sorrow, for the Speaker is killing bills right and left as if to relieve his feelings. He has even "Scotched" the anti-trust amend ment which the President is so an xious to have enacted, and the White Mountain Forest Reserve bill has received its coup de grace from Mr. Cannon. Why Japan Defeated Russia. Military critics have suggested various reasons for the defeat of Russia by Japan, and no doubt there were many contributory caus es of the Russian overthrow. The most original idea on this subject, however, is set forth in an article in the current issue of Leslie's Weekly, written by William II. Brill, a well-known correspondent who accompanied the Japanese armies. Mr. Brill shows that the premature surrender of Port Arth ur by General Stoessel, "whom he accuses of cowardice, released the besiegers for active work in the field, and thus enabled the Japan ese to beat the Russians at Mukden, which might never have happened had the siege been prolonged. This remarkable statement is accompan ied by a page of pictures showing striking features of the Port Arth ur siege. The illustrations also in clude a cover drawing by J. D. Gleasou, showing a whaling scene; photographs of the Pacific fleet in Magdalena Bay; glimpses of the opening of the circus season in New York; pictures of hotel-waiters, field games, at Miami, Fla.; theatri cal anc. sports photographs, and the photo prize contests. Con gressman James Francis Burke, of Pennsylvania, contributes an arti cle showing why Senator Knox should be nominated for the presi dency, which is supplemented by a fine, full-page portrait of the states man; Henry Kdward Warner dis closes Comedian Lew Fields's phil osophy of laughter; and United States Senator Chauncey M.

The appalling loss of lile in the coal mines of this country is to be stopped if the government of the United States can accomplish it. Congress voted an appropriation of $195,000 for the purpose of con ducting investigations to ascertain the cause of mine explosions, and once the case is found, the means of preventing them is easy. Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, insisted that this investigation must not be confined to the territories as was first proposed, but that the government expert in seeking in formation must have an unlimited field. It was contended that the amendment of the Pennsylvania Senator was an invasion of state rights, but Mr. Knox d?nies this. He argues that the federal govern ment had a right to gather informa tion anywhere it pleases. Said he: The loss of life and accidents in the United States far exceeds those of any other country where the mining industry is being conduct ed. This proposed investigation is for the purpose of allowing the hundreds of thousands ot men who toil in the darkness beneath the surface of the earth to get the be nefit of all the protection that all the knowledge gathered from all possible sources will furnish." Senator Knox's proposition was adopted and the result will be a broad, thorough investigation by government experts that will bring about the adoption of safety meth ods in mining that will save thou sands of lives and millions of prop erty. Telling Character by Laughs. (Lew Fields in Leslie's Weekly.) "You can tell people's character by their laughs. Did you ever hear a stingy-man laugh? There are two kinds of stingy man laughs. One is the querulous squeak of the miser; the o:her, the hard, unsym pathetic, and unwilling noise, with out wrinkles, of the tight-fisted, self-made coin-squeezer. The gen erous man's laugh is the healthy roar, rising from a chuckle that comes right up out of a good, healthy intellect. He's the fellow who isn't afraid of disturbing the meeting. Then there's the titter of the harmless youth whose fingers are yellow, indicating no special claim on greatness; the giggle of the gushing girlie who sighs at the problem play matinees; the in dulgent chuckle of the motherly matron who tells the family all about the show at the supper table; the sticcato laugh, counled with a half-frown, that belongs to the neurotic; the wheezing demonstra tion of the athtnatic gentleman w ho has to go to the mountains in hay-fever time; the calculating laush of the landlady, th.it sounds a-i thoutrh she had made sonic one ! take more prunes. Oh, every laugh j has its distinct character. I can tell from the first round just what j kind or people are in the house, ' and very nearly how many of each ! class."
