(Special Tele gram.) Governor Charles E. Magoon, looking in splendid condition, arrived In Washington today, taking quarters at the .Wilmington. Hardly bad he Inscribed hid name on the riser' v when he was met by a dozen new . men eager to wel come him back V es and give him Ipplnes. But tonlaht there la e. '4 trance that. Instead ot going to tho ' governor, be will go to -et as vice Kr, ". provw- Jonal governor of the Ad In tn tlllea," succeeding Becretar. -r fact it Is gent-rally undeiatooo circles clem to the president ti. about ' ready to announce to the that Qoemor Charles E. Magoon.late of Panama, will become civil and mil itary governor of the Cuban republic In looking about for an experienced mind to follow the short, but .exceedingly .capable, not to say brilliant, adminis tration of Secretary Taft In Cuba, there is no man so thoroughly well equipped for the position of provisional governor of Cuba as Charles E. Magoon. Long be fore he went to Panama as governor and minister 'and member of the - Isthmian Canat . commission ho had had large ex perlence with our constructive policy In the Philippines. He seemed to Intuitively grasp the complicated questions between that foreign people and ourselves. He made a hit with both Secretaries .Root and Taft, and Is possible a bigger hit with President Roosevelt. In the compli- ated condition of affaire In Panama he the first man picked out as minister ra.d g , ll jarhltv governor of ' the canal sone. Ho ved distinction there and he left on the 25th of September to ostensibly take the position of vice governor of the Phil ippines and on the retirement of the pres ent governor. Mr. Smith, to succeed him. i "rafOWauts Ont. This was the way 'the cards were put up, ' but American Intervention came In Cuba while Governor Msgoon was on tho blah seas and whsn he landed he learned th5t.;Becre)rjr.Ta,ft,iad .declared himself provisions) governor of that island pend ing a new election and the restoration of peace.' 8cretary Taft Is not enamored of hl Job In Cuba, for he has larger prob lems nt home and therefore it Is rumored he his tt-legraphed the president to send Magoon to Cuba - to take his place and Secretary Root, it, is understood, has en thusiastically acquiesced In the demand. .Tomorrow Governor Magoon will make Ills official call upon the president and It j Is expected he will then be advised to get himself in readiness for the Cuban Instead of the Philippine service. Tonight the gov ernor', said, he bad heard the rumor that he was to become provisional governor of Cuba, but that be had absolutely no knowl edgo of a change In the president's plans and until he was advised otherwise he would proceed to put hi affairs In shape to leave shortly for the Philippines. Should the Cuban service eventuate, as now seems certain. Governor Magoon will not be able . to Co to Nebraska at this time as he had hoped to do after his preparation for his Philippine trip were completed. Should the president select him for the (Cuban governorship Judga Msgoon said to night, he would be ready to sail just as soon as Secretary Taft desired. In view of the fact that Secretary Taft has requested Mrs. Taft, who ts on her way from Canada to the states to Join him In Havana ' for' a short time. It Is not expected that the secretary will relinquish the ' provisional governorship for at least a fortnight. This will give Governor Magoon an opportunity to, look, after some business matters which need hi attention, previous to his sailing for Cuba. Alans for the Cabinet. It U now no secret that Judge Magoon gf being groomed for secretary of war.

Oct. 2.-lmportsnt changea In the laws governing the handling jf second class mail matters were ralseet In a statement by John M. Hubbard, asslstsnt postmaster of Chicago, which was read today by the Postal commission, which Is Investigating that subject in this city. Mr. Hubbnr.1 recommendrtl: Thst second class mail matters be made self-sustainina. Tnat a law obliging bum matters to oe : carnea ouiaine or iiip mini -wnmu bj tt long way toward solving the problem. mat It these two resolutions are rejeciea that the rates on bulk package be re duced to I cents a pound to news iigents and dealers snd to 3 ctnts to subscriber, advertisers and exchanges. The abolition of the sample copy privi lege the transrlent rate on psckages and the compulsory routing of second class matters by publishers. The pasHlna of a stringent law to rtinmn violators of the law. Mr. Hubbard's statement argued that a self-sustaining rate would remove the de ficit tn the Postofflce department, enable congreae to Increase the pay of deserving employes, cheapen the cost of administer ing the department and make the press independent of the department. Oae Way to Save Expense. The carrying of bulk outside the malls, the statement declared, would result !n Immense saving to the department, and it ts thought that the publishers can make better terms with the transportation com panies than with the department. It was said that cost of handling un routed Jiall is 41 cents a hundred snd of routed mall 4 cents a hundred. A brief on behalf of the American Pub lishers' association was submitted today to the congressional commission on postal matters, which Is in session here, and which Is Inquiring especially into what steps ahull be taken by the government to obliterate the large annual deficits In the postal revenues, due. It Is alleged, to the handling of so many tons of second class matter at the rate of 1 cent per pound. The brief Is designed to show that the legitimate dally newspapers are not the cause of the deficit and consequently are entitled to a continuance of the prevailing rate. It is assorted that while the gov ernment Itself has to pny more than 10 cents to curry the 10-crnt magazine from the publishing office lo the news stand and subscriber. It derives a profit from the carrying ot the dully newspapers. It Is declared th:it the newspapers have been Improperly Included In swreplng assertion!" that, 'all those entitled to the second class mailing privilege enjoy a gratuity and subsidy from the government. The brief points out that the recent deficits In postal revenues were anticipated by Postmasters General 8mlth.and Payne because of the fcslabllshment of the rural free delivery system, and that the deficits need not be viewed with apprehension. The brief sug gests steps .that may partially remedy the abuses which have furnished occasion for complulnt. Hate in Profitable. The belief la expressed that the trans portation of newspapers -nt 1 cent per pound Is profitable. Inasmuch as express and railroad companies find a profit in oairymg newspapers and other articles atr rates varying from -Si of a ceut a pound to I cent a pound, giving more and better service for the money arid carrying long distances at the cent a noond rnte. ' The brief 'asserts that the situation as to postal deficits is not so bad uu appears ut On slbuna llta .r,tt , I t'V 4a arnwlntf with ainaxlng rapidity. The revenues of ach year are always more than enough to pny tho expenses of the previous ye ir. so that an end can be put to deficits If a stop Is put to the Increase In expenditures. Com paring the United Suites postal service to that of Great Britain. It is shown that England pays $141 to the mile for transport ing mulls, whoreas the United Btulea p;iys but $1P6. Yet Great Rritnln makes a profit of $.'2,0o0.(Xi a year, mainly due to the short haul and the dense population. The brief states that the second clasri rate chould be restricted to the dissemina tion of publlo lnforinutlon and that its employment primarily for mercantile pur poses be stopped. ' RUSSIA SEIZES JAP SHIPS Seal Poachers Canaht and Claims Action of Russia Was Illegal. , VICTORIA. B.

St. . Paul rookery. The two Japanese sealing vessels were captured off Copper Islands by a Russian warship, one of three sent to guard the Copper Islands rookeries when the wholesale raids made by the Japanese in the last two sea sons were reported and towed to Petropav lovsk, Kamtchaka, and confiscated. Owners of the Taifuku have addressed a memorial to the Japanese government, claiming the seixure was Illegal and asking that a claim for compensation should be made to the Russian government. An authoritative statement received by the Bcllerophon says that thirty-live Japa. nese sailing vessels have been engaged in sealing this season. The Japanese gunboat Masaashl has been sent to guard the Robber Island rookery, off Saghalien, and the Russian government, having had . reports of raids made by schooners organised for the purpose, with one carrying a field gun to overawe the guard on shore, sent three fast, modern cruisers to guard Copper Islands.

Secretary Taft cabled to the War department today re questing that Brigadier General Frederick Funston be designated to command the American troops In Cuba and the military secretary Immediately issued an order to that effect. Formal orders were also Issued to Brigadier General T. J. Wlnt, com mander of the. Department of Missouri, who reached here late today, and who Is to be In charge of the embarkation of the expedition from Newport News. The orders show that the first expedition to Cuba is to be known as the First Expedi tionary brigade. It Is much larger than an ordinary brigade, but the War depart ment has decided to consider It as such. General Thomas H. Barry, assistant chief j of stsff. arrived here this evening from New York. He has Just returned from Europe where he went to witness the ma neuver! of the German army. Secretary Root has been interesting him- j self In the Cuban situation since his return to duty in the State department and tn ' doing so has, been going over the dlplo mutlo correspondence that took place be tween Washington and Havana before Sec retary Tnft was sent to Cuba by the presi dent. No information has been received In Washington which Indicates the length of time that the United States will occupy the Island of Cuba and none of the officials will ventuie, a prediction 6n this subject, but the presumption la that It will be some time before a stable government can again be placed In power and It Is expected that meantime a civil government will be ap pointed to administer the affairs of the Island under the direction of the secretary of war. Annexation ot Contemplated. President Roosevelt discussed- freely to da? with his cabinet and with Individual callers, among whom were Senators Knox a"nd Foraker, the present situation In Cuba and Its temporary occupation by the Ameri can forces. The matter was talked over at the cabinet, but no definite announcement of the result of the deliberations was given out. Tho president related to the cabinet and to the other callers with whom he talked that the action taken by the Ameri can government was destined solely for the benefit of the people, of the Island with a view to the complete restoration of order there and the protection of all Interests. displaced and connections broken.

Unless extraordinary conditions drlse,' no extra session o congress will be called to deal with the Cuban, sanation, as thii presl dnt'. considers he has ample aui&qrtty to proceed In the matter.

Sufferns of Decatur, III., wns the first witness at today's session of the Interstate Commerce commission, which Is Investigating the al leged rebate cases. Suffern said that he entered the grain exporting business over nine years ago. Three years a So, he said, he discovered that Harris, Scotten 4 Co grain men of Chicago, and Rosenbaum & Co. were receiving an elevator (allowance at New Orleans of 2 tents per PO pounds from the Illinois Central railroad. "The rate on grain for export by way of New Orleans was 13 cents per hundred," said the witness. "Two cents of that went to the export elevator Interest and the re mainder to the railroad. The rebate allowed these firms prevented me from competing with them In the European markets. I dis covered they were offering grain In Europe at what It cost me hire. They had an actual advantage of 1 cents. "I quit the export business last winter because I could not live, let alone make anything." R. J. Ban- of New Orleans told a similar story. In regard to the export situation at New Orleans, he said th:it the Illinois Central railroad is heavily interested In export l elevators In New Orleans and that It leased i one of its houses to Harris, Scotten 4 Co.

ALL REPUBLICAN POLICIES DENOUNCED Mtatrmeat that President la Hostile to Labor Klement and that lie Aeeenta Favors from Banks and Railroads. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Bearlng the motto, "Equal rights to all. special privi lege to none." on Its title page, the demo cratic campaign book for use In the ap proaching congressional campaign was is sued today by the democratic congressional committee. It Is one of the most volumi nous of any similar publication heretofore gotten out. being composed of 2U pages and containing a vast amount of matter designed to combat the claims and policies of the republican party, while at the same time It upholds sll the principles for which democrary contends. After quotirg In full the platform adopted by the national democratic convention nt 8t. Louts In July, 14, the book enters Into sn exhaustive history of the protective tariff system, gx Ing back to the first act of 1789. It Is declared thnt the republicans refer to this act "with unremitting loy, be cause of the preamble that 'it Is necessary for the support of the government, for the discharge of the debt of the United States, and the encouragement and protection of manufactures, that duty be paid on goods, wares and merchandise imported.' " Various tables follow, giving a 1IM of the articles upon which tn- the earlier days duty was Imposed, while paralleled with them Is a table showing rates under the Dlnglcy tariff act. Tariff history. It is maintained, disproves the republican platform contention tot "democratic tariff bas always been followed by business adversity, a republican tariff by business prosperity," and with respect thereto the book has this to say: That hoary republican misstatement has been reiterated in every campaign since the wsr, but It remained for Senator Lodgo to embalm In a republican platform and to have It approved by a president of the United States. Panics and Protection. - It Is asserted that all the panics in this country have occurred under republican auspices and with- the highest protective tariff, and that in France the same condi tions prevailed, while In free trade England there has been only one panic sln-'e 1K73. "That the present 'boom' will be followed by a panic," the book continues, "is only a question of time." Numerous Instances of republican tariff changes are quoted from which the deduc tion is mode that in forty-five yars the republicans' have changed or revised tho tariff law forty-eight times. Reference Is then mad? to the speech of Speaker Ctnnon at Danville, 111., August 16, lust, when he furnished statistics of wages and Incomes for the fifteen years between 190 and 1P06, In which tli suoakcr is quoted as acknowledging that in that time average yearly wages increased slightly less than 9.4 per cent.-' H Is aa- serted .that dirlng the sume . perlpil the value of manufactured products I nor eased 58.7 per cent and the Inquiry Is made, "Does Mr. Cannon and the other standpat congressmen call that a fair deal? An Increase of 58.7 per cent for the trusts and only an increase of 9.4 per cent for the wage earners?" It Is insisted, therefore. that "Speaker Cannon, in his fight with labor should avoid statistics, for they are a two-edged sword In the hands of anyone ! that does not understand their significance i Mr. Cannon evidently does not." Campaign Contribution Scandal. Much space then Is given to the sub- j Ject of corruption and scandals In the re publican party, particular referenc! bclug made to the allegations of Judge Parker just before the last presidential election and which were vigorously denied by President 'Roosevelt In a publlo letter. Continuing, the book says:' The report of the Armstrong committee of the New York legislature, published since Mr. Roeuvvclt mado his sweeping and apparently impassioned, but realty crafty denials, proves that Parker spoke the truth and that Roosevelt was mis taken when he said the charge was un qualifiedly and atrociously false. The proposed ship subsidy legislation Is discussed at length. It la alleged that the real purpose of the bill was not disclosed by its title, but rather Its object was le galized robbery of the masses for tbe bene fit of a few persons engaged in the shipping business. Railroad Rate Legislation. The subject of railroad rate legislation is discussed In extenso, and with regard to the recent law enacted therein has this to any: The present congress enacted a rairoad law amending tho act of 1R87. It would have been law had the republicans been sj disposed years ago. , Bo controlled by the railroad were many of the republican a-nators that thjs bill could not have passed this (Flfty-nlntli) congress without the action of the demo crats and the president" s "big stick," which drove and kept enough republican senators In line to pass It. At a very acute stage of the contest the president found t neces sary to request a conference with leading democratic senators. They gladly conferred with him. and tho papers made great note of this unusual art. His position at thut time was that which for years tho demo crats had occupied, but he was forced by the opposition in his own party to move ground and break faith with his democratic conferee by consenting to the "broad court review." In this way the present law the very best that the people could get from a re publican congress wa passed. Charges Against Shaw, Under the head of "Department scandals" Secretary Shaw la charged with neglecting the duties of his office, traveling over the country making speeches fur the stand patters and carrying on a campaign for the presidential nomination in 19u8, but still drawing a salary which he doea not earn and setting a bad example for his subor dinates. With relation to their attitude towards organised labor, the book asserts that the democrats were the first to give It recogni tion. Its position is aummariaed as fol lows: It' Is safe to say there has not been a statute enscted by congress for the relief of the working men of the United Slates, or organized labor, that the democrats have not given It their hearty support. Taking up President Roosevelt's position cn tbe question it is declared that "be Is hostile to the tabor element. He has ex pressed It tn his books. In his official ut terances and by hia acts." It ia stated that be regards representatives of labor unions as . members of the "rogues' gallery," "sleek, oily felle ws." "bulls of Baahan," "lasyi selfish, brutal, vtelent, murderous," "a mob." Rooaovrll on Tart. Returning, to the subject of the tariff, the book asserts that President Roosevelt st various times In his career, has been a free trader, a tariff reformer and a iContiuujd. an Second.

In one long, harmonious procession th diversified commercial Interests of Omahe yesterday afternoon paraded through lira streets of King Ak-Sar-Reo's Imperial city. It was a case of the stores romthg to th shoppers. It was a case of Omaha's busi ness Interests on wheels. The stores were closed and happy sales people and proprie tor saw pass before them in miniature the things of which they have been a part for so many years. It was a practical display of the wonderful commercial houses of the Gate City, and yet so artistic were the floats, so harmonious were the colors, so Interesting and Impressive was the effect of the whole, the thousands and tens of thousands who had congregated along the line of march were entertained and de lighted. The parade carried a moral, but It pleased. The official title of the display, nam I by tiie officials of the court of King Ak Sar Ben. was "Omaha's Industrial Parade." It carried the old-timer back to the days still remembered, when Omaha was merely the pustgfway to tlif west and not the stop ping place; it carried him back to the few small store buildings and no manufacturers; back to the ferry boats and the fords. The comparison shows the accomplishment of the seemingly Impossible. Prise for Rest Float. Not only pride ia his own basinet a ad In the Imperial city, but the offer of a prlxe tor the timet original and the moat beautiful floats lmlled the proprietor la do l l best in his representations.
