(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. (Special Tela
gram.) Mr. Rosewater today had an ex
tended conference wlth the president. Pri
marily hi visit to the White House was
for the purpose of presenting the memorial
of the Military Telegraphers association
asking that the president recommend to
congress that the survivors of that asso
ciation who served during the civil war be
given as pensionable a status aa other sur
vivors. The president. It Is understood,
agreed to look Into the merits of the case.
The talk had by Mr. Rosewater with the
president extended over a wide range of
subjects, much of which was of a confiden
tial character. In speaking of his talk with
the president, however, Mr. Rosewater said:
"The published reports about the stand
the president will take on the railroad rate
question In his message to congress are
wholly correct. If anything, I believe the
president will be more direct and more
specific on the rate question than he has
been on any former occasion. It would not
at all surprise me to see the question ex
haustively treated In the forthcoming mes
sage from the White House. As to tariff
revision and the other questions which have
been uppermost In the minds of the people
for some time past, I believe they will be
passed over with slight reference. The
president Is determined to secure fairer
railroad rates and he regards that aa the
leading subject before the people today. I
believe I betray no confidence when I say
that the president was emphatic In his dec
laration for rate legislation." '
Asks Transfer of Helmrod.
Mr. Rosewater had a conference with
Secretary Root looking to the transfer of
Qeorge Helmrod, consul general at Samoa.
Mr. Helmrod has made an excellent record
since his appointment to that far-away
country and now desires a place nearer
home, where he may have the association of
his family. While Secretary Root made no
pledges, it is believed that the head of the
State department will be able to bring
bout the transfer desired.
Boot to Control Consols.
In thia connection It waa learned today
that the appointment of consuls and con
sul generals hereafter will be made directly
by Secretary Root. Heretofore every man
who desired a consular position filed his
application with and saw the president him
self or else had his senators and repre
sentatives Intercede for him. The presi
dent Is an exceedingly busy man and from
now on until the adjournment of the first
session of the Fifty-ninth congress the
business of the White House will Increase
In volume every day. Realizing that he has
In Secretary Root one of the ablest men
who have occupied the chair at the cabinet
table next to the president and filled the
position of secretary of state, he has made
an order that all matters relating to the
consular service shall be wholly in the
hands of Secretary Root.
Donbt A boat Thompson.
It was learned at the State department
today that the ambassador to Brazil,
David E. Thompson, had not been ordered
home, nor was It known at the 8tate de
partment when he would sail. It is under
stood Judge Penfield has reached Rio Ja
neiro and is now, with , the assistance of
Mr. Thompson, examining Into the trade
situation between Brazil and the United
States. The lack of authentlo Information
as to Mr. Thompson's movements, and par
ticularly the date when he will succeed
Ambassador Conger to Mexico, has created
doubt In the minds of a good many people
here about whether Mr. Thompson will
ever boast of having filled the position of
ambassador to the republlo of Mexico. Mr.
Conger's resignation takes effect on October
19 and unless an appointment Is made be
fore the president leaves on his trip south
the ambassadorship to Mexico will be va
cant until the return of the president from
that trip. Secretary Root said today that
ha had no knowledge of the president's In
tentions so far as the American mission Is
concerned and It may be that Mr. Thomp
son will be permitted to remain In Brazil.
Look lac Into Commerce Data.
Mr. Rosewater, since he has been In
"Washington, has spent some time looking
over the records of the Interstate Com
merce commission with a view of using the
Information thus obtained In an address
which he will make at the Interstate com
merce law convention, which meets In Chi
cago October 38 and 27. This convention
will be held under the auspices of the In
terstate Commerce league.
The commission appointing Judge Paul
Jessen of Nebraska City as one of the as
sociate Justices of the supreme court of
Arizona, vice Judge Eugene Tucker of
Humboldt, who resigned, waa mailed to
Mr. Jensen today.
Mr. Rosewater will leave tomorrow for
Omaha, arriving there Tuesday morning.

STEPS FOR NEW CONFERENCE

from fsar on Second
Ilagae Meeting;.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. The State de

the Russian government to secure another
conference at The Hague. These take the

delivered by Baron Rosen to the president
at Oyster Bay, and the other a memoran
dum dated October 12, also unsigned, deliv
ered by the president to Baron Rosen In
Washington.
The first memorandum Is a mere recital
of the opportuneness of another conference
with the promise to submit a detailed pro
gram by Russia when the congress meets.
The president's memorandum Is a hearty
acceptance of the Invitation and directs at
tention to the fact that his previous circu
lars to the powers appear to be precisely
In line with the Russian papers. The last

was among those discussed.
At the conclusion of the conference the
statement was made that French patience,

the dispute diplomatically will be Imade by
France before a resort to force. Meantime
a French warship Is hovering almost within
striking distance of the Venezuelan court

West Indies on short notice. M. Jusserand
will again confer with the Washington
government before France decides to dis
patch its ultimatum, the terms of which
are already known In a general way here.

GIVEN TEN MONTHS' SENTENCE AND FINE
Dr. Geasner, His Partner In Sheep

sioner Blags Also Con
vlrtaa. PORTLAND, Ore.. Oct. 14.-John Newton
Williamson, congressman from the Second
Oregon district, convicted In the land fraud
suit started by the federal government,
was sentenced In the United States court
here today to serve ten months' Imprison
ment and to pay a fine of 1500. He was
also reprimanded by the court for his
failure to set a good example In his exalted
public position.
Marlon R. Biggs, ex-United States com
missioner, was taxed by the court with
similar dereliction of duty and given an
equal penalty.
In the case ot Dr. Gessner, convicted of
being a fellow conspirator to suborn per
jury, the term of Imprisonment was, be
cause of the defendant's age and feeble
ness, cut In two and the fine doubled. Van
Gessner was Williamson's partner iS the
sheep business.
Appeals Will Be Filed.
Appeals will be filed and a stay of execu
tion was made pending a further order
of the court. Meanwhile Congressman Wil
liamson will go free on his own recog
nizance, but a bond of $4,000 was required
of the other two defendants, as during the
trial of the case.
As the term of Imprisonment Is less than
one year the sentence must be served In
the county Jail.
When the time arrived for the Judge to
Impose sentence Judge Hunt asked Mr.
Williamson to stand up. With his hands
In his pockets and with no change in color,
looking the Judge squarely In the face,
Williamson stood ready to receive his sen
tence. Judge Bennett, Williamson's counsel,
interposed an objection, on the ground that
his client Is a member of congress and the
Imposing of sentence would Interfere with
his attendance and conflict with his con
stitutional rights. This was overruled.
Williamson Has Nothing: to Say.
"Mr. Williamson," said Judge Hunt, "an
Indictment was brought by the grand Jury
charging you with conspiracy to suborn
perjury. Tour plea of not guilty was en
tered and upon trial you were found guilty.
The time has now arrived to Impose the
penalty. Have you anything to say before
sentence Is passed upon you?"
There was no plea for mercy from Wil
liamson. He answered In a firm voice,
grimly, without shifting his position, "I
guess It has all been said, Judge."
LAST DAY OF THE BIG FAIR
Portland Exposition Closes After
Scoring; Success Greater
Than Was Hoped.
PORTLAND. Ore., Oct. 14. Today, "offi
cers and stockholders day" at the Lewis
and Clark centennial exposition. Is the last
of the exposition period. After tomorrow
the work of wrecking the Immense exhibit
palaces and state buildings will commence
and In a few months all that will remain
of the exposition will be a memory of Its
success; success as expositions go, for
President Goode has made public announce
ment that stockholders will receive a divi
dend from 30 to 40 per cent on their stock.
The passing of the exposition will not be
marked by any elaborate literary exercises,
but toward midnight there will be a grand
fireworks display, bands will render patri
otic airs and to the tune of "Auld Lang
Syne" by the United States Artillery band
President Goode will formally declare the
exposition closed.
The exposition has been a remarkable
success from every standpoint. It has at
tracted to this city and to the great north
west 100,000 people; the exposition' has at
tracted Investors In almost every line ' of
endeavor and It has made known to the
entire country some of the advantages
which the Pacific coast has to offer home
seekers. It Is probable that with today's
attendance the fair will have attracted
over 2,500,000 people.
FILIPINOS WERE ASTONISHED
Appearance of Miss Alice Roosevelt
Was Not What They
Expected.
COLUMBUS, O.. Oct. 14. By a letter Just
received from Tacloban, In the Philippines,
from the Rev. C. E. Rath, one of the rep
resentatives of the Presbyterian Board of
Foreign Missions In the islands. It Is evi
dent that the Filipinos were rather disap

"They had their imaginations all wrought
up about the way ahe wculd appear," says
Mr. Rath. "They had her pictured In a
royal robe sparkling with Jewels, a crown
on her head and with everything that
should go with royalty. What they saw
was a young American woman In a very
plain white dress, with a sailor hat and
no display of Jewelry. Some of them in
fact did not see her, or If they did did
not recognize her as the daughter of ths

when they stretched the tender bodies ot
women on the rack with rope and pulley

Fancy an attendant saying to ths tor

pleasant."
And yet the woman "racked with pain,"
ta e i peeved to smile through her agony
and to make horns happy. She can't
do It. It la against Nature. Generally
speaking, the racking pains of Ill-health
such as headache, backache and "bearing-down

OUR LETTER BOX.
An Appreciation of Irvlnsx.
OMAHA. Oct. 14 To the Editor of The
Bee: My acquaintance with Henry Irving
began In 1878, on the occasion of one of Ms
early visits to Dublin, after he became a
star of the first magnitude; one of the
great events In his career at wHlch I was
present was the "command" night by
Trinity college In 1878, when the fellows
and students of Trinity college, Dublin,
filled the old Theater Royal from pit to
dome; It was Indeed a great night, and a
signal triumph for Irving, for the seal of
approval of Trinity college meant every
thing to an actor; that night I saw, as I
said then, and say today, the greatest
"Hamlet" of my time.
In a letter to the old Omaha Herald,
dated at Dublin, November 12, 1878, I drew
some comparisons between Barry Sullivan
and Henry Irving. These observations were
true then and there Is no reason to modify
the point of view at this far date:
Henry Irving Is tall and thin and not very
well put together; no particular graces
except beautiful long white hands and an
expressive face: Is not a great elocutionist.
and has a bad walk. Add to this, occasional
pnenomenai pronunciation or a voice not
down to the full register of a tragedy bass-
ana yei a sweet voice, too. Remember
these faults, and then remember also that
me man had genius enough to overcome
them so far. or rather make his audience
lorget tnem, that today he Is asserted by
thousands of cultured men to be the great
est "Hamlet" of his time. His personation
is luminous wnn (nought. He has torn
away ine old trammels and produces a
"Hamlet" that is refreshing In nrlnlnalliv

Barry Sullivan was among the last of the
old school, the Edwin Forrest of the Eng
lish stage, while Irving represented the
newer belief In that Intellectual treatment
of character which has remained the prime
method of his art during his long stage life.
Abraham Stoker, known everywhere as
Bram Stoker, was of a distinguished Dub
lin family, a brother of Sir Thomley Stoker,
former president of the Royal College of
Surgeons, Ireland; a brilliant Trinity col
lege man, a clever llterateur, an accom
plished man in many ways; he was known
as a clever translator and adaptor of light
French plays, being an admirable French
scholar. Irving was greatly attracted to
ward him, and Stoker went with him to
London, I think, In that year (1878), be
coming In time his general manager and
closest friend.
The personality of Irving off the stage
was that of a most charming man, unlike
many of the heavy tragedians. He was
brimful of a quiet, gentle, humor; had a
great fund of anecdote, story and reminis
cence always at his command, and that
made him one of the most delightful of
after-dinner companions; but so thoughtful
a host was he that every man who came to
supper with him was drawn out upon some
topic or another and went away feeling
that he, too, had contributed to the pleasure
of the evening no one was overlooked. I
remember one of Irvlng's Chicago engage
ments, when I happened In on blm at the
Columbia theater. That night at supper at

guests was General Lucius Falrchlld of
Wisconsin, once consul at Liverpool, a
warm friend of Irving. The actor asked
General Falrchlld some questions regarding
Blaine, the tariff and similar matters, and
Irving listened, perhaps an hour, to a lec
ture on American politics, he being the
most Interested man at the table, and
thanked the general again and again for
his Illuminating exposition. I have often
noted that In the many times I have been In
Irvlng's company he aeldom spoke of his
art, especially If he were to be a figure In
any story. Stage stories he would tell In-
Imltlble, humorous and pathetto, but he
was seldom In the cast.
It Is not for me to pronounce a euloglum.
His place as the foremost English speaking
actor of his time has already been securely
established. My memory of him Is of a
courteous, gentle, kindly man, a warm
hearted friend, and one never forgets old
friends; who so patiently and so bravely
bore keen private griefs and harsh criticism
through so many years of his professional
career. No man valued friendship more;
few men whom I have ever known were so
true to their friends as he.

Card from Mr. Reea.
OMAHA, Oct. 14. To the Editor of The
Bee: I notice In your paper this even
ing a statement by Mr. Fisher, president
of the Typographical union, that Mr
Thlessen, manager of the ticket depart
ment of the Rees Printing company, has
signed the eight-hour scale. Mr. Thlessen
Is not manager, but lessee. He employs
no compositors. He has leased this
partment for one year, and has no author
ity to sign the name of the Rees Printing
company to any business document. He
may have personally signed the eight-hour
scale, because it would make no difference
to him, as he hires no compositors, and
to save the annoyance of the union print
ers. Samuel Rees is the only person who
has authority to sign the name of the
Rees Printing company to a labor con
tract, and he will never sign it to a con
tract with the Typographical union. Wo
feel that so far as we are concerned we
have the fight, with the union won.
Believing Mr. Fisher made the statement
In the form he did for the purpose of cre
ating the Impression that our firm was
weakening In Us opposition to the eight
hour day Is our only reason for writing
this." REES PRINTING CO..

Bee: The article of E. G. S. In The Bee
of Saturday morning on the mutilation of
the horse and the abuse of the noblest
of the lower orders by men In overcheck
Ing and other tortures was a strong and
timely one. It Is astonishing that owners
and lovers of the horse Insist upon de
stroying the God-g

of these Inflictions.

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct 14. It is possible
that the fire which destroyed the Missouri

last night was of Incendiary origin. F. E.

from a pile of rubbish back of the burned
